That’s in large part because the legendary historical romance on Starz has one of the most rabid fanbases of all time, and the love story between Jamie Fraser (Sam Heughan) and Claire Beauchamp Fraser (Caitriona Balfe)—based on Diana Gabaldon’s bestselling books—is as smoldering as it is sweet. A marriage that began out of necessity grows into an enduring love story for the ages, surviving marriages to other people (it’s a long, Laoghaire story), war, time travel, and a lot of brutality—and that’s just the tip of the spoiler-free iceberg. Heughan previously teased Season 6 by saying, “It’s Outlander. There’s everything there. There’s history, romance, adventure. It’s a shorter season due to COVID and some of the challenges we faced but the episodes are longer… it’s just a great season. It’s dark, it’s exciting; the fans are really gonna love it.” With all that darkness and drama, though, comes a whole lot of laughs—some at the absurdity of it all, others at the absurdity of how attractive the cast is and how ferocious the Outlander viewers and readers are. These Outlander memes capture the best of all the insanity, love, lust, and, obviously, shirtless Sam Heughan.
