Outlander: 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” […]

Outlander: Symbolism of Jamie’s Color

20 Jan14 Apr by Piolina

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.” […]

Outlander: Symbolism of Claire’s Color

16 Jan07 Apr by Piolina

Different colors are used throughout the series in reference to both Claire and Jamie. This post is actually a continuation of a former one, White Animals and the King of Ireland, in which I detailed Claire’s association with mainly white animals. My next two posts will be about Jamie’s color which is red and the blue […]

Revelation in MOBY: Malva’s Mother was an Apothecary from the Eighteenth Century

08 Jan13 Jan by Piolina

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 […]

Outlander: Roger MacKenzie’s Spirit Animal (Speculation)

13 Dec15 Dec by Piolina

This is my last Outlander post for the year. The information in this post was originally written for an essay about Jamie, Claire and Roger. However, while doing my edits, I realized that it was not a requirement for this information to be incorporated into the aforementioned essay. I will be speculating about Roger MacKenzie’s […]

Allan and Malva – A Relationship of Abuse and Consent

19 Nov19 Nov by Piolina

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 […]

Malva’s Mother as a Time-Traveler

19 Nov13 Jan by Piolina

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 […]

Malva’s Mother and Her Sister-in-Law Part 2

04 Nov18 Nov by Piolina

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.
