We are the Dora Milaje. We are the daughters of the 18 tribes of

It upsets me that his first instinct, even in literal combat scenarios, is to not fight, and how violently everyone reacts to him.

Gabrielle, while understanding Xena’s final act of redemption (staying dead at the end of the series), is heartbroken. Though she soldiers on, the pain in her heart and the empty spot in her soul plague her every day.
The gods (remaining gods? God? I don’t remember what shape the pantheon is in at the last episode) take pity on her and, as a reward for her great heroism, faith in humanity through everything she’s seen, and as an acknowledgement of Xena’s redemption, grant Gabrielle a child, born of “the merging of these two great souls”.
Gabrielle raises the child among the Amazons, who she eventually comes to lead. At an unspecified time, the amazons retreat from the world.
Gabrielle’s (spiritual?) bloodline remains royalty right up into the 1900′s. People are named after old heroes from time to time, as per usual. One of Gabrielle’s royal line is named Hippolyta, who (of course) has a daughter. Diana.
Thus, Diana is Xena and Gabrielle’s great great great (x number of greats) grandchild.
Gabby gotta have another child somewhere because Janice is a descendant. I like the idea. Was it Aphrodite that granted her a child?
Sometimes I’m just sitting here minding my own business and then I remember that Thor specifically entrusted Loki with placing Surtur’s crown on the fire to initiate Ragnarok and I tear up a little bit because that’s how you love and support your chaotic neutral sibling.
Thor: I know what’ll cheer you up. 🙂 Loki: What’s that? Thor: You wanna trigger the apocalypse with me for the good of Asgard? Loki: !!!!!!!!
