I yoinked many of them. Including all of Dougal. Of course.

I'm rereading parts of Drums of Autumn and, damn son, Gabaldon is obsessed with genealogy. I don't actually know if you ever read any of the books but you know that Roger is like the great-great-great grandchild of Dougal and the best witch ever. And the genes are so strong that not only does he have Geillis's eyes, no, he is a Viking beast like Dougal! I thought it might please you to hear him described as such, though poor Ragnar might roll his eyes and have them for breakfast.

I started the first one a while ago but then RL got in the way. I've been meaning to ask if you think the books are worth it.

Weeeell, they would benefit from a bit of strict editing, especially later instalments. I stopped after the fourth book. I think I'd go on reading if I found Brianna tolerable. She, Roger and their offspring are becoming more central to the story and I'm just not interested in them. This is definitely down to personal preference - as we all know, I would rather write another thesis than give birth and bring up a child. And child characters are so rarely well-written

These are awesome as always. I love the gif of Louise laughing.

Thank you! I loved iconing it because the scene is so hilarious. Claire's face when she's trying to keep it together is gold. And poor innocent Mary.

It is true. One of the best moments!
