a dark day for tennis, sport and especially for women who watch sports. this is but a reminder that men will always beat domestic abuse allegations and in return will be given the highest honour whilst women suffer everyday. thoughts with olga and brenda.

“We had another fight, and in that fight he punched me in the face for the first time,”—“in other fights he was pushing me, shoving me, twisting my arms, choking me. But this was the first time he punched me, really punched me.” - Olga Sharypova, Zverev’s former girlfriend

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.

No he parado de llorar durante todo el capítulo final

[cinesthetic. @TheCinesthetic]

After 8 seasons and 12 years, Outlander has officially come to an end.

[D.D.D @AlistairHisoka]

Lo que realmente pesó en Fede es que se dio cuenta que con el juego que pretendía imponer Xabi a él se le veían todas las costuras. Alonso hizo que llegasen las primeras críticas fuertes hacia Fede por su inoperancia con el balón en los pies.

[neófita 🌙 @lestbeannas]

uno en rueda de prensa y el otro en zona mixta simultáneamente tirándose pullitas esto es mejor que un nadal djokovic de antaño

[Gafa @MrGafan]

A Xabi se lo cargó más Valverde que Vini eh. Aunque el descontento de Vini fue público.

[Emil Sorel @EmilSorel]

La rueda de prensa de Florentino Pérez explica perfectamente el estado actual del Real Madrid.

[Carlos @mcarloso]

Entiendo que las campañas beligerantes gusten y mucho, pero el ABC no tiene la culpa de que Fede y Tchouameni se pegasen, Negreira no es responsable de que la mitad de la defensa esté coja, y Relevo no planificó nuestro del campo.

[clau ⸆⸉ @rarxvival]

todo lo que rodea al real madrid de la 25/26 no te lo firma ni un guionista de the office que barbaridad

[Albert Ortega @AlbertOrtegaES1]

El Caso Negreira salió a la luz en 2023. Florentino Pérez dijo en 2024: "No me voy a enfadar con el Barça. Real Madrid y Barcelona se tienen que ayudar".

Ahora dice que estas palabras fueron antes de que estallara el Caso Negreira.

[Rodra @Rodra10_97]

A mí como madridista lo que más me preocupa de todo esto es que a Florentino lo último que le preocupa es lo deportivo.

Hoy ni aceptó preguntas sobre lo deportivo.

Así se explican también estos dos últimos años

[Miguel Quintana @migquintana]

No sé muy bien cuál era el sentido de esta comparecencia de Florentino Pérez, pero viéndola es bastante más fácil entender qué está pasando últimamente en el Real Madrid.

[Bambi @blurofthestars_]

Tenemos el vestuario en llamas porque ha construido una plantilla plagada de mongolos con exceso de ego y falta de talento a los que ha malcriado y no quiere hablar de ello. Pues buenas tardes.

[alba 🦋 @almabic]

Esto es completa y absolutamente surrealista

[alba 🦋 @almabic]

Que alguien le diga que lo mejor que puede hacer es dimitir

[alba 🦋 @almabic]

Y la rueda de prensa siendo crítico con la situación actual de equipo para cuando?

[alba 🦋 @almabic]

Esta persona está senil que despropósito 😭😭😭
