“To be fair, though, I don’t think this show could have been made in the US. It was set up at a big streamer before, and they had so many notes, and so many thoughts on what that show could be, that Jacob decided to leave them and get it made in Canada where it was, granted, a much smaller budget, but he was like, ‘I can do the show that I wanna make.’ And I think that’s what people are responding to. And I think in a way, it’s a huge lesson for Hollywood people. This is like a niche show, a niche theme, no movie stars. And it’s a much bigger sensation.”

François appeared on CBS Mornings bright and early today to speak about Heated Rivalry’s success, and we particularly loved this piece of his interview. There’s a lot to be said for sticking by your guns as a creative, to keep authenticity alive in a culture that celebrates conformity.

Are there any Connor or Connor / Hudson update blogs here?

I haven’t found any yet, interestingly. Not talking about fanfic, magazine pictures and photoshoots per se, I mean healthy and respectful “where are they now, scheduled appearances, events, interviews, what time, where can we tune in, etc.” And commentaries. And even public sightings and fan selfies that are RESPECTFUL, not frantic videos of Connor hiding face and running away, off you can fuck.

I pointedly do NOT mean the toxic, disgusting surveillance blogs from the dark side of fandoms that track every single move, attack anyone who interacts or who may potentially be a friend/partner, or play detective in that incredibly disrespectful way.*

If you have or you’re starting an update blog devoted to Connor / Connor + Hudson that’s healthy and respectful, please let me know or send to me! Usually the folks on Tumblr who run these kinds of blogs have bandwidth for such a responsibility, are knowledgeable and hold insightful conversations with other fans, know all the boundaries, and have great resources/valid sources, and I would love to follow and also help direct fans to you. 🫶🏼

*You know it, I’m referring to the infamously horrific neurotic side of the Outlander fandom, something I experienced firsthand in shock, and consider them the worst of the worst. The bad part are delusionally, like Trump-style delusion, convinced that the two leading actors Sam Heughan and Catroina Balfe are together, married in real life, have children and a secret home. They reject, attack and harass Catroina’s actual real life husband and bring such misery to Sam’s friends and partners to where they’re forced off social media. I witnessed from the very beginning in real time how Sam and Cat had to change from being friendly and responsive and active on social media to almost no presence, forced into that stoic distant quieter untouchable celebrity kind of behavior. PLEASE let’s not do this to the boys this time, please. I don’t give a fuck about those kinds of surveillance blogs and people who make it their life duty to stalk and hatefully harass.

Louder for the people in the back!!!! It’s awful to see especially with the show being literally about the ways in which the fame of these two characters restricts and intrudes on their lives

“Friends outside of Minnesota please read. I’m sharing a post written by a personal friend and medical doctor:
Friends outside MN, you need to know what is happening here. Everyone knows that ICE shot and killed a woman here on Wednesday. But that’s not the only thing that’s going on:

• ICE agents are cruising areas with immigrant-owned businesses, and kidnapping patrons and employees alike. Yesterday they abducted two US citizen employees at a suburban Target, one who was begging them to allow him to go get his passport to show them.
• ICE is going door to door in immigrant-heavy neighborhoods, asking residents where their immigrant neighbors live. Read that again. If it sounds like something out of your high school history textbook, that’s because it is.
• ICE is targeting schools and school buses. They pepper sprayed teenagers and abducted two school staff members at the high school up the street from me on Wednesday. Police are literally escorting school buses to ensure children can get to school and home safely. The Minneapolis Public Schools have moved to virtual learning for the next 4 weeks because it’s unsafe for children or teachers to physically come to school.
• They are targeting hospitals and clinics. Patients are scared and are cancelling their appointments or just not showing up. Kids are missing their checkups and vaccines, folks aren’t getting their cancer care, etc.
• They are smashing windows in cars and homes.
• ICE is increasingly picking up Native Americans—again, targeting folks based on skin color alone.
• They are arresting and beating legal observers. A friend of a friend had her arm broken yesterday. Folks are showing up at local hospitals, brought in in ICE custody, with severe injuries that are absolutely inconsistent with mechanism of injury reported by ICE. (Think: patient appears to have been beaten unconscious, while ICE agent says he slipped and fell.)
  I can’t emphasize enough that these ICE agents do not have warrants. There are 2,000+ agents here and they are simply hunting for anyone that’s not white. It doesn’t matter if you’re a citizen or a green card holder, they will kidnap you first and ask questions later.
  
  But the community is fighting back.
• Protests are happening every day.
• Community groups have been leading know-your-rights sessions for months, often to packed venues.
• Whistles are being distributed by the thousands, carried on keychains and worn on coat zippers, always at the ready to be blown in warning if ICE is spotted.
• Drivers are following ICE vehicles, blaring their horns in warning.
• Businesses are locking their doors even while open to keep employees and customers safe. As I type this, I’m standing guard at the locked door of our neighborhood burrito joint while I wait for my takeout order, so the employees can focus on their jobs. The place is packed with neighbors supporting this small business.
• Anti-ICE signs are posted everywhere. The community is making it crystal clear that ICE is not welcome here.
• Parents and neighbors are standing guard outside schools, organizing carpools, and escorting kids to and from school on foot.
• Parents of kids in Spanish-immersion daycare (there are a LOT of these daycares here!) are keeping their kids home so the teachers don’t have to take the risk of coming to work.
• Churches and community groups are holding fundraisers to buy and deliver groceries to families who don’t feel safe leaving home.
• Mutual aid money is going out to folks who can’t make rent because they can’t work or because a breadwinner was abducted, or who need a warm place to stay after their home’s windows were smashed.
  
  THAT is what is happening here. This fight is ongoing and it’s horrifying to watch. But we are not backing down. To my friends in other cities and states, don’t think for a minute that this won’t happen in your town. It will. Be ready. Learn from us, as we have learned from Portland and Chicago and New York. Fight back. Don’t let us get to the last line of Martin Niemoller’s poem.”
