Looking back a bit at one of my favorite arcs—even though Jamie and Claire’s time in Scotland holds a special place in my heart—I have to admit that the France storyline has a charm of its own; the costumes, the characters, the aesthetic—everything is beautifully executed.

The introduction of Count St. Germain, as well as the character of Mary Hawkins and the charming Louise de Rohan and her lovely friendship with Claire kept me entertained; we also had Master Raymond in those episodes, and little Fergus, who stole all our hearts.

There’s also the Faith episode—though that’s a separate matter, it’s worth mentioning since it took place in France and was one of the series' best episodes. And one of my favorite parts was the trial of Raymond and Saint-Germain, and seeing our beloved "Dame Blanche" truly shine.

There are supporting characters who steal the spotlight the moment they appear—capturing our attention by bringing a touch of humanity that moves us all. Take young Elias Pound, the sailor who stepped up to assist Claire when she was held by the British Navy to help contain a typhoid fever outbreak.

The boy is only 14 years old and has been at sea since he was 7; his nobility and chivalry are worthy of admiration, and his willingness to help and loyalty to Claire truly shine on screen. His character arc was one of the sweetest and most moving parts of Season 3. And his line: "Only a friend can do the sewing."

To mark Pride Month 🌈, I’d like to create a post with a different theme. I want to share a list of all the characters who are part of the LGBTQ community.

​

​

Diana Gabaldon is one of the finest writers; her universe is filled with characters and compelling stories that stir our emotions—making us laugh and cry—and keep us deeply attached to them throughout the books. Across the series, we encounter a wide range of stories and situations that put our emotions to the test—particularly in the Lord John Grey saga. He is one of the best and most beloved characters, and it was thanks to him that I was inspired to create this list. I hope you enjoy it.

​

Outlander LGBTQ+ Characters

​Lord John Grey - Homosexual

​Percy Wainwright (Percy Beauchamp) - Homosexual / Bisexual

​Hector Dalrymple - Homosexual

​Stephan von Namtzen - Homosexual

​Manoke - Homosexual

​Captain Charles Carruthers - Homosexual

​George Everett - Homosexual

​Cecile Beauchamp Homosexual / Bisexual

​Dr. Francis Abernathy - Homosexual

​Jane Pocock - Lesbian

​Mrs. Olivia Pringle - Lesbian

​

Books enrich us with history and personal growth, yet they also educate us through experiences that—while fictional—are filled with real people and moments from the 18th century and beyond. In an era when homosexuality was a mortal sin punishable by death, we encounter characters who reveal just how difficult survival was; Diana gifts us a journey brimming with tragedy, growth, love, and passion.

Happy Pride Month—Love is Love 🌈🫂.

I’m rewatching Season 3, and I have to say something about the aesthetic: the future looks splendid in it—the costumes, her hair, and don't even get me started on that eyeshadow. We know those twenty years apart from Jaime—and married to Frank—weren't necessarily the happiest, but seeing her in the clothing of her own era and her surgeon's coat was a delightful experience; even though we love her in the 18th century, the wardrobe creates a fascinating contrast.

Since book 10 wraps up many plot threads and questions that many of us have had throughout the story, I think that because of book 9, we return to this question: who is Claire's possible ancestor? 🤔.

I have a theory about who the possible candidate could be; I have two options: Fergus Fraser (Claudel) and Percy Beauchamp (Percival Wainwright).

In option 1, we have the most credible one: Fergus. While the Beauchamp family, to which Claire belongs, originates from elsewhere, it would be more believable that she comes from Fergus. Although Fergus is still alive in the books, let's imagine that this changes or another situation arises, and Germain, his eldest son with Marsali, becomes the heir and adopts the Beauchamp surname. He might then decide to marry a woman (I have Franny as a possible candidate) and move far away. Moving to France, for example, would be impossible since the French Revolution would begin in a few years, and they would have to flee. This would explain why they would move to England.

Option 2, and less likely, is Percy Beauchamp: as far as we know, and as Percy himself explained, the family he belongs to by marriage is the Beauchamps.They come from Compiègne. Percy Wainwright was previously married to Cecile Beauchamp, and as far as we know, it's almost impossible for them to have children. This brings me to my second theory: a possible illegitimate or adopted child, similar to John's case with William. Although it would be too difficult to believe in the books, Claire tells Percy that he reminds her of his Uncle Lamb. I don't think Diana would invent the idea of ​​Percy having a child at this point, and if he did, we would already know or suspect it. However, in the last book, Amaranthus Grey is pregnant again, and no one knows who the father is. We're almost certain it has something to do with Richardson. If he turns out to be the father of the baby, it would be an incredible plot twist.
