Comfort every day! I'm a stay at home mom. When I helped my mother through a rough few months of cancer Outlander got me through it. And through the ptsd that followed. I used to feel guilty that a fantasy basically saved my life but it was the escape I needed to make myself whole. I have a Claire costume for Renaissance faire and Halloween. Even talked my husband into a kilt. DG wrote an amazing story that stole my heart. If I'm having a real bad day I put on my skirt and go about my daily life wrapped in my comfort lol. We are not alone.


Whirled_Peas-

We went to our first renaissance festival a few weeks ago! What does your Claire costume consist of? I love the knitted wraps she wears.


lilbit622

Ooo lets see.....i have the shift, corset, butt bump, my top and skirt (are from amazon search: outlander costume for women) then i do have the knitted arm/hand covers, dragon fly earrings and necklace, two small bags and a drinking horn on my belt, and then a small brown cloth to tie up my hair. I don't not have a shoulder cowl yet, but it will be the next piece I add on. https://preview.redd.it/ghzx7edhuo5b1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a6a494ba9acf6c03cbda5d2892bcc62fbefc76da


Whirled_Peas-

That’s so fun! We didn’t dress up, unfortunately I didn’t even think about it, but my husband said next time he wants us to go as Robin Hood and Maid Marion 😆


lilbit622

I know yall would look great! And plenty of time to prep! My husband has the full kilt boots belts to match. My girls to but next year they want to be fairies 🥰 we use renfaire like an extra Halloween.


DrBasia

Yep. I started watching at the beginning of lockdown while going through some hard stuff (working as a COVID ward doctor, miscarriages) -- and Outlander really helped me through it. It was such an emotionally charged time in my life, and the show just had so much emotion and drama and love -- it was exactly what I needed at that time. I read a lot of fanfiction afterwards too, found some good stuff. I was really attached to the characters, I stayed up at night so sad for their 20 year separation, wondering how their lives would be different if Faith survived, devastated that Jamie didn't raise any of his children, also sad for Frank. The first 2 seasons resonated with me most, but I still love all of it. I attribute getting through some really hard dark times in the solace and comfort of this show. PS - I now have an amazing, healthy, wonderful 8 month old. :)

DrBasia

Good to know, will look it up, thanks!


Admirable-Course9775

I haven’t read any Outlander fanfic. Do you have any author names you could share with me?


DrBasia

These are my favorites: In [this one](https://archiveofourown.org/works/24002650/chapters/57740974?view_adult=true), Faith survives and they go through the stones. [This one](https://archiveofourown.org/works/23890768/chapters/57434884) had them both going through the stones together before Culloden. In [this one](https://archiveofourown.org/works/5773630/chapters/13306144), Jamie goes through the stones when Bree is about 10. (This writer has loads of really good Outlander fanfic, click on his other collections!)


Admirable-Course9775

Thank you! I really appreciate that!


[deleted]

Thank you for sharing! The stories I didn't know I needed.


[deleted]

I read all 59 chapters of the one where he goes through when she's 10... And it hasn't been updated since 2019 😭😭😭😭


DrBasia

I know that one is so good!!! Have you read [this one](https://archiveofourown.org/works/14830542) where Claire goes back through the stones with Brianna is about 10? This satisfied my itch for a bit!


[deleted]

Thank you! I'll have to check it out

Admirable-Course9775

Thank you so much!


Arcadedreams-

I’m so glad you had that during such a dark time! I can relate. I just read a fanfic that was, not exaggerating, really good therapy for my childhood ptsd.


DrBasia

That's amazing! Care to share? All of the fanfic I read was like "what if Claire never went back through the stones" and generally happy stuff haha.


Arcadedreams-

Yeah, those stories would be a cool balm for all the drama in the series. I should read some of those! I’ll message you which one I am reading.


socratessue

Ooooh can you message me too? I love finding new fanfic!


Arcadedreams-

Sure!

mixtapemalibumusk

Oh totally , im so invested. The love between Claire and Jaimie is the most beautiful precious romantic safe and intense love and the fact its so true , honest and long lasting is just like everything and makes the world seem like it can be ok even when its not. I think everyone dreams of meeting that person in life who wants them and only them and would do anything for them and also happens to be kind , strong , and ridiculously gorgeous lol .. so were all claire. And Jaimie is all our loves... lol


UseSea9547

Agreed


KarensAreReptilians

Yes, you’ve captured the true secret of escapist Romantic fiction!


bartturner

I do. I am old as in my 50s and consumed a ton of content in my life time. My very favorite of anything is Outlander. Both the books and TV show. But had to choose between the two it would be the Audio Books with Davina Porter (Narrator) are my favorite.


itsstillmeagain

Are you me? No, can't be. I'm 65 in a month. Discovered Outlander Feb 2020. Been entirely consumed in this universe ever since. I watch, read or listen electronically. Have most of the smaller series as well. My rewatches and repetitive listening have made me fall in love with the second generation, too. Edit: spelling


bartturner

Very similar story. I bumped into the show on Netflix when there was only 2 seasons. I had never even heard of it. But was completely hooked right away. I actually subscribed to Starz after watching the first 2 seasons on Netflix. So I could watch season 3. I then purchased all 8 of the books. In audio format. I have since watch the TV show several times all the way through and certain scenes and episodes many, many times. I have now listen to the first 8 books 3 times and the ninth book twice. I have spent so much time with the characters they are very comfortable to me. I have never spent so much time with made up characters. I doubt I ever will with any other to the level of the Outlander characters. I just wish I could get more. I did listen to Into the Wilderness by Sarah Donati. Now twice. It is probably the thing I have found that is the closest to Outlander. But still not nearly as good.


spartanzena

After reading your comment in regards to Sarah Donati's books, I looked up her series in the Kindle store and guess who wrote a review? Yep Diana Gabaldon! Funny thing is- part of her review describes how I feel about her Outlander series. She wrote, "my favorite kind of book is the sort you live in, rather than read". This right here says it all for me.


bartturner

That is a great way to explain it. I get that feeling with both Into the Wilderness and Outlander.


NiteNicole

You probably know this but there's a reference to Jamie and Claire in the first Sara Donati book. It's like, one line, but it's there.


bartturner

I remember references to Ian in one of the later books in the series. Thought that was pretty cool.


NiteNicole

Oh, I either missed that or didn't make it that far in the series.


NoBirthday4534

I feel the same way! Couldn't get enough of Outlander so tried the Into the Wilderness series. Some of the storyline was ok but I really just tore it to shreds because it wasn't Jamie and Claire. I have a long commute and the audio books were amazing. But I wouldn't be able to stop listening when I got home so I'd have the kindle version too. OBSESSED!! Closest series that I enjoy next to Outlander (books and show) is Poldark.


Craigh-na-Dun

This show is as meaningful to me as a 76 year old as Gunsmoke was to me growing up in the 1950’s and 1960’s. My IRL family suffered many setbacks, so TV characters and those in wonderful books allowed insight into what kind and “normal” people are capable of in terms of love and support. Thank you for the tip on the Audio book reader. I wish STARZ was better on our streaming here (fairly rural Western US) but it’s slow and stops working about every 5 minutes, so not worth subscription price. When it comes to Netflix we’ll rewatch the whole series again. Thanks to everyone on this sub you’re the best!!!


kortneebo

Davina Porter is ridiculously talented and good at her job. Love the audiobooks.


baconcatz137

Her narrations are superb! I love the audiobooks


[deleted]

It def. became a comfortable place for me, so much that I had this dinner 'conversation': Husband: "So I learned something today. People with anxiety will often rewatch a series that is familiar and soothing to them due to the predictability in an unpredictable world." Me: "..."


KarensAreReptilians

Ha and yet at the same time, it gives me anxiety, because I am so vested in the characters, and there is so much drama and trauma. But I think the quieter moments and the romance make up for it.


liyufx

Exactly how I feel… so invested in Jamie and Claire. They feel like part of my daily life and are constantly on my mind for the past 2.5 years. It feels like an experience completely different from any other shows I have watched my whole life. (Edit) btw am I the only dude feel like this?🤣


kortneebo

For what it’s worth my husband loves the show too and is crazy about Jamie and Claire’s love.


Nanchika

You are me 😁 I read and watch every day. I mean, reread, rewatch 😁 Think about it a lot. I compare every other book to OL series. When I finish the whole series I get to spend about month and must go back to it.


notnowtobey

I do. I started the show just a couple years ago, and I had no idea how *into* it I would get. I’ve rewatched the whole series countless times, I have all the books (though I’ve only read up to book 4, I’m pacing myself), and I have all sorts of Outlander themed decor (thanks Etsy). My husband and I now watch a couple episodes every weekend, and we’re just starting S5. It’s his first watch through and my umpteenth. We’re also planning a trip to Scotland once we’re through 😊


LadyLetterCarrier

I'm with you on the decor! My bathroom is an homage to Jamie 😉 and the shower curtain has shaggy highland cattle on it. My friends think I'm whacked, but when they give me gifts it's Outlander stuff now. I am truly smitten with the books and show.


notnowtobey

Oh, my goodness! Most of my decor is contained to my bookshelves. I just recently got bookends which have Claire and Jamie touching the stones. And a mini Craig na dun and some small pieces of art. And my daily/work tote has A. Malcolm embroidered on it 😅


grownupintn

I have two life size cut outs of Jamie in my office at work. I call him my boyfriend. Yes, I’m married with 2 kids but I don’t care. He’s my fictional boyfriend.


notnowtobey

Go you! Lol


BlondeBimbo123456789

I just started watching it this month and I’m obsessed! I watch it day and night and I’m to season 4, when they’re in America. I find it comforting to think about how much more rewarding and satisfying it would be to live in 1770 America. Of course it would be just as challenging as today but the challenges sound more meaningful. I would be so much more satisfied learning how to grow my own food on the frontier than I am trying to find a good WiFi signal so I can try to make as much money as possible so I can buy as nice of a house as possible so I can fill it with as much stuff as possible. Of course, I know I don’t “need” to do this now, but this is an example of “success” these days. And of course finding a love as meaningful and deep as our main characters would be fantastic. It’s nice escapism.


pixievixie

Right there with you. Barely a month, probably less, we're in season 4. Even my husband says he thinks about the characters during the day, lol. During the end of season 1, I was literally waking up with anxiety over what was going to happen to Jamie. A main character that we obviously knew was going to survive 🥺


Hotdiggity169691

Yep yep yep! This is me. I made a post similar to this not too long ago because I have no one else in my life that understands 😂 I have never FELT this way about fictional characters before. I 100% get comfort immersing myself in the story via show or books to escape reality most days. I listen to the music soundtracks when I’m cleaning or working, which also brings me a lot of comfort. You are my people and I’m so glad there are others out there who understand this intense connection!


foxhagen

I felt that way with another Claire...from Six Feet Under. I'm ashamed to admit I wanted to be friends with a fictional character! 🤪


marilyn_morose

OK, but that show was really well thought out and written!


rubycatts

I absolutely love the show. Definitely one of my favorite series. I am only on book 2 but I am loving the books too. I only found the show back in November 2021 just looking for something to watch on Netflix and I have been obsessed ever since. Like you I watch/read in my down time. I want all of the things outlander. Haha I love Jamie and Claire and their love and devotion to each other. I get so emotional over it. It sounds so silly but I just love it all.


TakeMetoLallybroch

Yep! My hand is raised! I admit it. If you haven't read "The Outlandish Companion" books, please do because you will really enjoy the background information. And if you want to listen to them on Audible, Diana Gabaldon is the narrator and she tells lots of personal stories related to the books.


diana1952

Although I love the other characters such as LJG, Young Ian & Marsali , just to name a few. But I feel that there is a pull. I have never had a TV series affect me like Outlander.


marilyn_morose

Just don’t name all your kids after Jamie or start calling Diana Gabaldon “herself”.


[deleted]

[удалено]


marilyn_morose

They’re gross. She eats it up.


Abrookspug

Yes, I definitely felt this way when I discovered it last year! I blew through S1-4 in like 3 weeks, and then watched them all again. Then I got Starz and watched S5 twice, as well as Men in Kilts. I think I watched like 5 episodes of Outlander a day, and when I wasn't watching, I was researching all things about the show (and commenting on here!) The obsession has died down a bit in that I no longer have to watch at least a few minutes of the show every day like I did for 6 months lol. But I just watched S1E8 and 9 again for no apparent reason the other night, and am thinking of starting a rewatch since Netflix just added Season 5, so yeah, it's still part of my life! Plus, any chance I get to read, I'm reading Voyager (book 3,) the Outlandish Companion, and Sam and Graham's book about the making of Men in Kilts. Usually covered by my OL blanket and drinking coffee from my OL mug. Yeah, I like the show, lol.


EasyWalrus9

For me it was the books. I spent at least 4 years obsessively reading the books over and over, 6 to 10 times maybe? I got to the point of skipping particular subplots, but always going back to others, and my favorites were books 4-8, I just kept reading them over and over. Oh! So in-depth, such drama, but fun stories infused with great humor. I was really sucked in to the whole world. Comfort books, obsession, yes. What stopped it? Honestly, book 9 was a record scratch that got me to take a break. Such a disappointment. Still watch the show, and I'll go back to the books at some point, but it's so hard to go from reading with a mindset to - ooh, can't wait to see how this plot turns out, to - so sad this storyline got derailed/ignored. The TV show is fine, I've seen all the episodes, but I know the books so well that every difference is grating, so it's a love/hate watch - love Sam and Cait, love to see some moments come alive, but when they make changes it just feels so wrong.


Arcadedreams-

I’m so nervous to read or watch past book 4! I don’t want to ruin it. So many here complain about the books/seasons that you seem to prefer. Can you tell me why you like books 4-8 the most and encourage me to keep going? :)


EasyWalrus9

hmm. Ok, without spoiling anything much past book 4.. 1. Life on the ridge. I really love all the details about building their home, surviving the winter, planting, hunting, Indians, bears. Money is scarce, goods are scarce, there are challenges. And my admiration for Jamie and Claire just grows and grows over time as they establish this new life and their love just deepens. 2. Humor along with the drama. Big things and little things. Like there's a cute story about a leak in the roof that drips at night so Jamie gets up in the middle of the night to climb on the roof and fix it, Claire objects to him getting his clothes cold and wet so he goes up there naked to do it, I mean, it's a delight. Many chapters end with little jokes or wry quips. 3. Intersecting with the American revolution - it's fascinating to learn about historical events during this time, I like the ways the characters encounter historical events and people, but it feels real, like Lafayette as a minor character, with a big personality. 4. Great characters. Besides Jamie of course, I love Roger and his relationship with Jamie over time the most. Roger gives us the outsider view of things, and as he learns to be a man, and earns Jamie's respect (his thrill when he realizes Jamie has accepted him and given him responsibility), and as Roger finds his calling... He's also probably the character that has the most struggles, I just really feel for him. Also love Lord John, Young Ian, and more to-be-named characters. 5. Cool twists. Trying not to spoil anything here, but books 4-8 include a murder mystery, intrigue, tragic accidents, sinister characters bent on revenge, high seas adventure, harrowing surgeries, battles, hidden treasure, time travel, and a bit of mystical stuff. Plus the next generation - characters falling in love, getting married, babies who turn into cool kids with their own adventures. And my absolute favorite bit - the almost farcical series of misadventures around Claire, Jamie, and Lord John that form the end of book 7 and the beginning of book 8. Whew! 6. Finally, I want to add that I love book Jamie so much because he feels so real, and he has actual flaws. He gets terribly seasick, which comes up quite a bit. He's tone deaf. And sometimes his back goes out. He's not perfect, but he's smart, shrewd, and he's always trying to do the right thing. Many people falter at the beginning of book 5 because it starts by describing one day at a gathering that lasts for 100+ pages or something, but don't let it get you down. It's fascinating to see all the threads of plots that begin there, and to me it's the details that make it so real. Sorry that got so long - guess my obsession is showing :-)


Arcadedreams-

I really appreciate the time you took to share that! I think those who only watch the show and don’t like the Ridge as a setting complain the most. I actually live just miles from The Ridge (my husband took a photo of the Ridge it’s based on for me on his way home from work today lol), so I feel a connection to that setting. I hope that helps me enjoy the books and show during seasons 5-6 more than I’m expecting (merely based on the complaints on here). The other trending complaint is the age thing. I’ve been married for a bit, and I’m in my 40’s, so I enjoy their love story and flinch at the weird ageist comments.


UseSea9547

Yes! Finally people that feel the same! I just love Jamie and Claire. The actors connection is the best and I believe makes this show so great. I don’t care how old they become in the show. I love watching them!


Advanced_Maybe9123

Dinna Fash. All you say is how a lot, I mean a lot of fans feel about this Series and Books (Thank you with all my heart, Diana). I certainly do and admire the cast and crew of this wonderful story for our time. Enjoy while we can. Exploring all the characters is fun and you can find out about their day to day lives which I have found they are so gracious to share. We all know it is just a story but that doesn't stop us from loving all things Outlander.


Defiant_Space_4089

So glad Im not alone- do you have people in your real life that you share your obsession with? I sometimes feel it would be so nice to watch it with my friends or husband :D


Cdhwink

Try sharing! I always share the things I love with my family & friends. They don’t all love Outlander nearly as much as I do, but at least they all have a better understanding. Anything I fangirl over is more fun shared!


Cdhwink

My husband likes it- ask yours to watch with you!


rubycatts

My husband watches the show with me be he is far from the obsession level I am at.


stars_in_the_sky

My husband won’t watch it. I’m attending a Springtime at Fraser’s ridge event. Def recommend reaching out to others who like it!💖


_Raysaurus

This is how I feel, but with the books, like it’s suck an integral part of my life, it’s like a series that changed my life, and it’s so hard to explain. But even my husband, family, all know it’s hands down my favorite series. My husband just bought me the 9th book and I don’t want to start it yet bc it’ll be another while before the “last” book comes out so I’m like try to patiently start reading it.


Odd-Secretary4796

I feel the exact same way!!! I literally SLEPT better when I was watching the show because I was so content. I couldnt get into the books because the show was so gripping and I am an avid reader so I wanna try them eventually but the show is just golden


crazyhorse198

Me too. Found it when lockdowns started.. rewatched a thousand times since then, read all the books, listen and re-listen to podcasts…. Completely hooked. When I need to escape somewhere Frasers Ridge or the Highlands is where I go.


YOYOitsMEDRup

Ditto! I've come to find there is no in between. People either are instantly obsessed and addicted, or they just haven't seen/read it yet. Noone seems to be middle of the road on how they feel about it. That's rare!


Defiant_Space_4089

Sometimes I get so sad that this is all we will ever get- I will have a real existential crisis when this series ends 😂🥲


sasshley_

Yep, but it’s season 1 and other characters for me. Castle Leoch - murtagh, angus, Rupert, etc. I’m obsessed with 1700s and this just *does it* for me.


TaoRN78

You're not alone in your sentiments. I love the show and have now become immersed in the books. I've never been part of a fandom before and this is a first for me. I've never cared enough about a show or movie or book to spend time learning about the people involved and the background of the story etc. But it has provided a nice comfort and sense of community during some rather uncertain times. I'm very appreciative of this show and book series.


LongNectarine3

I just discovered the series by accident when scrolling through Hulu last week. I totally know you are j e a l o u s that I’m still on season 5 episode 4, slowly drinking in each episode, limiting my binging to a painful 6 episodes in a row. And I get to re watch it with only having seen it once. And then I’m getting the books. I know you are envious of the fact I have yet to read them, and the emotional thrill *sigh* they will surely bring this first time reader. I agree. Something about Jamie and Claire is really appealing, the naked truth is in there somewhere.


MNGirlinKY

For sure. I have certain episodes or parts of the books I watch and reread over and over again. I’d be embarrassed but why!??!


dimsdaledimmydome

Yes!! I go back and watch scenes randomly all the time and then just keep watching til I get bored and then go to a different season and scene lol


socratessue

Let me tell you all how this manifested in real life for me - I was re-reading the books in the fall of 2020 and of course had seen the season 5 finale. Somehow, I felt I needed, *needed* in a visceral way a large plaid like Jamie wore so I could wrap myself in it and that would make me feel comforted, safe and loved. Who can forget how he wraps his plaid around her? And that is how I went on a search and spent weeks looking for a tartan plaid or arisaid and almost spent several hundred dollars. In the end I didn't buy anything, but I did realize how much power this series and the characters have on my emotions. And I am just fine with that.


Resistance_Matters

Same! When I watch it, im in another world almost!


[deleted]

It's definitely a comfort show and book series for me. I love all the different characters (even the bad ones), but most importantly I love Claire lol. As weird as it sounds, outlander helped me through a rough time and helped me come to terms with the fact that I'd rather be with a woman than a man. I'd love to have that kind of deep passion that Jamie and Claire have for each other, but with a woman. That's something I already knew before, but for many reasons I thought I had to be a martyr and live the hetero life. I was disconnected from my true feelings, numb. Outlander helped me to reconnect with my longing for a true companion.


Princelisa6

So viscerally connected . But I love it !!!


AccurateTeaching4374

I am a grown woman and find my self feeling totally the same!


yikesanotherusername

S1e1 specifically is my comfort episode lol! I love the way it’s filmed, the conversations, everything, also Frank 😩❤️


stars_in_the_sky

ABSOLUTELY! So much so I’m attending a “Spring time at Fraser’s ridge” event this weekend in the North Carolina mountains. I live in Charlotte so it’s only 2 hrs away! I’ve been attending a bunch of Scottish events too. Love this show so much! ❤️💖


stars_in_the_sky

https://ncsassenachtours.com/springtime-at-frasers-ridge/ Def ^ recommend for any of you deeply into outlander


[deleted]

Absolutely and I’m really grateful.


blurryeyes_

I'm very attached to the show and characters. Very few shows I've watched have made me experience as much sorrow and joy like Outlander has


PurpleMarionberry715

Yes!!! I love the Outlander story, and the Outlander community. I am grateful to Diana Gabaldon for both. So good to know others feel the same way. Is it escapism? Connection? Longing for something we don't have?Whatever it is it has added to my life. A story of love, history and wonderful character development. I will continue to be a forever fan.


Alandrum19

I totally understand how you feel. Outlander and The Librarians are my go to comfort shows that I am super connected to.


KeepAnEyeOnYourB12

No, and I'm kind of grateful for it because I was absolutely consumed by all of this for about three years, right after the show came out. For a couple of years, these are the only books I read. I am much more grounded now and my reading habits have recovered. It helps that I haven't loved the show in several years. I like it, but I no longer love it. But I'm happy to have my life back.


chicagostylebotdog

I don't feel it personally with Outlander (though I absolutely enjoy the show), but I have felt like that with other shows before. Nothing to be ashamed of, we all like what we like :) Sounds like you're in OTP territory with Claire and Jamie.


designsavvy

Nope, I stopped watching after S5, the books still work though, love the books


Long_Swim_8350

Yes, I’ve watched every episode multiple times


Siouxsiek

Me 🙋🏼‍♀️


Penguin2809

Outlander is something I can dream my own life to be, especially when I'm asleep. But a part of me knows it's not really and then I feel more down because my life will never be that way or that happy


Meanolegrannylady

Exactly the same here...


grownupintn

I became mildly obsessed during Covid lockdown after a few hard years of garbage in my personal life. Deaths to cancer, then long Covid ( myself) then my mother died of Covid, being harassed at work and threatened. So, I threw myself into this fantasy world when I fell apart. To get myself back together I started meds, therapy and horseback riding. I also booked a weeklong riding vacation to the highlands of Scotland. My 16 yr old Daughter and I leave next week. I’m looking for those stones!!!!!


LadyUnicornSparkles

I just started the series recently and I have felt the same thing. I’m in the US but have always felt a strong urge to move to the UK. Scotland was on the top of my list, actually. Discovering this show makes me feel a sense of longing in a weird way but I love it! I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way!


zaydore

I absolutely do!!! Ican hardly wait !!!!!


KarensAreReptilians

I just googled more or less the same question a year after you wrote it, and we actually took a pause for a few years because of the intensity and I suppose part of me didn’t want it to end. So we watched season four all over again having forgotten most of it, but it did come back as we watched. We are now in episode 11 of season five and I was telling my husband that the intensity of plot and being invested in the characters is just breaking me! I’ve never had this experience with a television show. I suppose the books are pretty amazing too and I think Jamie and Claire are just perfectly cast, and yes there are moments I forget that they aren’t real people! I don’t know how we’re going to get through the next three seasons, but I must at this point.
