shakespeare himself could not have written the epic that is gabrielle breaking her established vow of peace to go absolutely feral and slice through a roman army when she sees xena immobilized
xena giving gabrielle a poem from sappho that says “theres a moment when i look at you and no speech is left in me. my tongue breaks, then fire races under my skin and i tremble and grow pale, for i am dying of such love” is one of the gayest things to happen in modern television
the way gabrielle could have clinically opened xena’s jaw and spit the water into her mouth from afar but instead she chose to sensually brush against her lips multiple times???
she’s a murderer, a former warlord. she has massacred villages. she has been to the underworld and back, multiple times. the god of war is obsessed with her.
but she looks at her love like THIS
anyone else think it’s so funny how xena didn’t change a single thing about her appearance over 6 seasons but gabrielle went through a full pokemon evolution
you’ve all seen the gifs and memes of this as angry!xena, but did you know that she’s not actually angry, but panicked that she’s lost her lover in battle? she’s screaming her name.
watching legends of tomorrow is a red flag. it’s also an orange flag. and a yellow flag. and a green flag. and a blue flag. and a purple flag.
watching legends of tomorrow is gay.
the cinematic masterpiece that is the yin yang bed, as gabrielle relaxes peacefully on her side while xena has left her own to go desperately find and stay in the light on gabrielle’s side
omg just realized that people saw this live on tv without knowing she was going to die fr and that this was their last real interaction, oh my god y’all might be entitled to financial compensation
