Just a helpful little chart to illustrate the occasionally confusing future eps. A lot of people seem to miss the fact that Mel and Janice are not the reincarnations of Xena and Gabrielle, but their descendants.
Yes, yes it is… it’s so funny because this whole scene, Xena’s supposed to be weak and dying… but she absolutely responds to this kiss way more than I think was planned…
“Lucy! Lucy! Okay… you’re supposed to be dying… stop kissing Renee back…”
Yeah you can actually see her melting into the kiss. Totally out of character. But you know, I forgive her
I love how in this very last shot of them lying down together Gabrielle lays her hand over Xena’s midriff and Xena lifts her head up to look and then just settles herself back down again smiling. It’s like the moment when she realizes Gabrielle feels the same way she does about her and she’s finally able to show her true feelings for her without feeling guilty about it anymore or holding back. Because lesbihonest…. Xena fell first. Gabrielle had a bad case of hero worship for awhile but she didn’t fall in love first. Xena did. And in this shot you see Gabrielle start to show her affection for her instead of the other way around. It’s really cute and sweet.
I have a gif of the whole action. Probably my favourite gif of them.
You know there’s no way in hell, heaven, hades, Valhalla or any other afterlife that any of the above would take Xena in after she’d:
1) Made the Olympians an endangered species.
2) Waged a war on heaven that she was well on her way to winning (before she was ‘miraculously’ thrown the fuck back out)
3) Created Satan.
A god or guardian of any denomination of death would take one look at her, recognize her as Xena God-Killer, Destroyer Of Everything That Looks At Her Funny, Fucking Mother Of Satan and deliver her straight back to the only being in existence who can control her (i.e. Gabrielle) with a lovely hand-written note about how it would be a crime against love to separate them because they’re tied with bonds that transcend death (and also pls don’t let her kill us thx)
that’s the real reason they keep reincarnating. No afterlives want to keep them
I love that as soon as Xena realises that Gabrielle’s checking her out she gets all pouty and cool.
Like she’s thinking, “Oh! Baby girl’s watching… Better get my strut on.”
Meanwhile Gabrielle is just blatantly checking out her leather clad warrior, clearly thinking lascivious thoughts. Both completely ignoring Ares.
*sigh* This show… 😍
