My last Outlander post for 2016! First, I would like to thank everybody who read my posts. I am in the process of writing two more Outlander posts that will be published in the first week of January 2017. Today’s post will be highly speculative and thought-provoking. First, this post is related to another one – Symbolism […]

Outlander: Did Malva love Claire? How Did She Know About Jamie’s Scars?
Readers have different opinions regarding Malva’s love for Claire. This post will be an analysis of the evidence detailed in the books in regards to Malva loving Claire. The second part of this post will be focused on how Malva knew about Jamie’s scars. This is my last post about A Breath of Snow and Ashes. […]
Continue readingOutlander: The Hidden Villain, Arch Bug
Since his introduction in The Fiery Cross, nobody would have suspected that Arch Bug would become a villain. If some hints were given, they were subtlety written. However, in A Breath of Snow and Ashes, some hints are given about his wickedness and his vengeful nature. In this post, I will include many quotations in order […]
Continue readingOutlander: Symbolism of the Blue Color, How It Relates to Claire, and Jamie’s Ghost
This post is an idea that came to me while discussing Dragonfly in Amber on Twitter. The association between Claire and the blue color was brought up to me by one of the ladies who manages Outlander Central. Since then, I decided to delve further into this topic. The featured image is a “Montana Sapphire” […]
Continue readingOutlander: Symbolism of Jamie’s Color
The color associated with Jamie is red. One of my favorite lines in regards to Jamie’s coloring is how the old fortuneteller in Paris describes him in A Breath of Snow and Ashes. “T’es un chat, toi,” the old woman had remarked, in tones of malicious interest. “You’re a cat, you. A little red cat.” […]
Continue readingRevelation in MOBY: Malva’s Mother was an Apothecary from the Eighteenth Century
This post is an addendum to a former one, Malva’s Mother as a Time-Traveler, which I considered hypothetical. First, I exposed two possible explanations for Malva’s mother background. She is a person from the eighteenth century with good observation skills who was able to develop a substance similar to ether. She is a time-traveler with similar […]

This is my second to last post in regards to everything associated with Malva. I recommend reading the following post before reading this one. Malva’s Conception of Love and her Promiscuity Part 2 In this post, I exposed Malva’s ideas about marriage, love and sex. I also detailed how she has been abused throughout her […]

Today’s post is an extension of a former one, in which I discussed the strong similarities between Geillis and Mona: Malva’s Mother and her Sister-In-Law Part 1. Some of these resemblances are the use of pentacles in rituals, and the fact that they are both femmes fatales. I also discussed the notion that Mona was probably from […]
Continue readingMalva’s Mother and Her Sister-in-Law Part 2
Edgar’s wife is one of the characters that I wanted to know more about in A Breath of Snow and Ashes. Based on Tom Christie’s account, the person guilty of murdering his brother is Mona, Malva’s mother. In book 6, Malva mentions to Claire that her mother used to have vitriol (sulphur). In book 7, […]

This post is basically an addendum to my last one, Malva’s Mother and her Sister-in-Law Part 1, in which I speculated about Mona’s background, and the possibility of her being from the Scottish Highlands.
