@peekaboo_jen Tash, it’s been so great knowing you on this platform, but my timeline has been taken down.
I’m deleting the X acct. I’m on Instagram and Facebook.
Really …….. Are you kidding me ! How dare you. True followers are just blown away by the magnificent portrayal of Claire and Jamie by these 2 actors. We are all adults here !! Thank you ????
Titanic & Outlander have the same effect on me: The moment I hear the music, I always burst into tears because it is the realisation for both Rose and Claire that their men are gone and they still lay beside them
I can’t help but cry even after watching it for a thousand time 💔
I’ve been so sad all day. It’s been a weird day. Outlander really being over and seeing Jamie die even though he’s alive.. it traumatized me. I may be over dramatic but these characters are family and I love them so much. It feels like a loss of a friend 🥹 I miss them already.
Most beautiful sentiment expressed. You are a master of words and know how to convey the most heartfelt message to all who will read. Thank you Tash for sharing with me and the fandom the Outlander world.🥰🥰

As the end of Outlander neared I was adamant about one thing, that I didn't think it was right that the show address Jamie's ghost.
For me, I felt that was something that should be explained by Diana, and Diana alone.
Matt, Maril, and others had said several times that they wouldn't be addressing Jamie's ghost in the finale.
I has happy.
I believed them.
I was so very glad that they weren't.
When I watching the finale and we were approaching the end I knew they were going to show Jamie's ghost.
The way the episode was written I knew they were going to despite their assurances to the contrary.
They had to, for the story in the episode to make sense.
I was starting to get angry.
But.
To my utter surprise, I burst into tears.
Tears of happiness.
I loved it.
I loved the whole scene.
They way it drew me back to that very first episode and the way I felt the very first time that we saw Jamie's ghost on screen.
It was beautiful.
It was so very special, to me, seeing Sam as Jamie.
Seeing him looking up at his Claire.
Seeing the tears in his eyes as he heard Frank approaching, knowing what he knew.
Seeing him walk away, heartbroken to leave her, but knowing that he had to let fate do its job, as it had already done so before.
I've always said that it was Jamie's ghost who called Claire to his time, through the stones, to him.
I believe that time isn't a loop as such, but a line that both he and Claire can move along.
They both have one life, one death.
But.
Claire can travel through time, and Jamie can visit various moments in time, along their timeline.
When Jamie died on the battlefield, he went to her.
He knew where she would be.
She had told him herself.
He went to her, in that exact moment, to call her to him, to begin their life together.
A life they they had already lived.
A life he was already living with her.
It was Jamie who triggered the stones.
Stones that would speak to Claire.
Stones that would draw her to his time.
To him.
To begin their life together.
The forget-me-nots were perfect for his wife, a healer and a botanist of sorts.
A gift from her husband who would never forget, and who would wait 200 years in purgatory for her.
Her husband who was waiting for her to join him.
I've always thought that when Jamie looks up and sees Claire for the first time, as she approaches him to fix his shoulder, I've always thought that there is moment of recognition from him with her.
His soul seeing her soul, a moment of relief that she was home, that she was finally there, back with him.
The ghost scene was one of, if not my favourite part of the finale.
The part I hoped, almost demanded, that they shouldn't touch.
To me, the parallels were perfect.
Outlander has always been Jamie's story.
He is the sun with which their universe revolves.
People are drawn to him, to stand in his light.
It is his hand that has guided their fate.
It is his sword that protects them all.
His name.
His clan.
His body.
His soul.
It is his love that binds them all.
But.
Just as importantly, it is Claire's love that SAVES him.
It is Claire's love that SAVED him.
In the beginning.
In the end.
And
In every moment in between.
ALWAYS.
They are who they are because of each other.
One cannot be who they are without other.
They literally defied time and space to BE so.
And, from them, their family grew.
Blood of my blood.
Bone of my bone.
Dinna fash.
There's the two of us now, and always, forever more.

So well said Tash !! This show has been my life and changed me in ways indescribable since 2014. Have become a lover of books and stories, still to this day, and the many friendships gained along the way, all from a story about a man in a kilt and a time traveling nurse.
Irrespective of what happens in the finale, for me, Jamie was always the heart and soul of Outlander.
This incredible story about a man in a kilt, who he is, the amazing people in his life, the adventures and experiences that he has, and the events and moments in his life that shaped who he became.
No more so than his Sassenach.
The passionate, the beautiful, the bolshy, the not meek nor mild, the one who wanders and rarely stays put, the headstrong, the opinionated, the healer, the swears like a trooper, and the one he wouldn't have any other way, his Claire.
Claire changes his life in a way that nobody else does.
Claire changes his life in a way that nobody else could.
And, understandably so, Jamie changes Claire's life in a way that nobody else could.
Jamie changes Claire's life in a way that nobody else could.
Claire tells us his story.
Claire tells us her story.
Claire tells us their story.
Some of us read their story.
Some of us listened to their story.
Some of us watched their story.
Some of us did all three.
But.
Unequivocally.
We all loved their story.
Our man in a kilt and his beloved Sassenach.
Thank you, Ron for championing the cause in the beginning.
Thank you, production, and crew, and writers, and everyone else involved.
Thank you, Matt and Maril.
I may not agree with everything that you both did, but, I do thank you both for the passion and commitment that you did it with.
Thank you to EVERY SINGLE ACTOR who worked on this production.
You were incredible.
Every.
Single.
One.
Of.
You.
Thank you, Cait.
Thank you for your Claire.
Thank you for bringing her to life with such love, care, and passion.
And, last, but not least.
As always.
Thank you, Sam.
Thank you for your humour.
Thank you for your kindness.
Thank you for being our Jamie Fraser.
You were the only person who could have portrayed Jamie Fraser.
Who he is.
What he means to me, and to so many others.
His passion.
His essence.
His heart.
His soul.
"Sam, ye gave us a rare portrayal, and God! We loved it well."
I will miss Outlander.
I will miss how those early seasons made me feel.
I will miss all of the incredible actors who told us this story.
I will miss so many things.
But, this simply means that it meant something to me and that can never be a bad thing.
After all, they do say that It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.
And, we definitely loved it all.
Mostly.
To each of you, my friends, thank you for being a part of my Outlander story.
You made it better than it could have ever been without you.
