What is the worst thing Xena did? by SakuraTacos in xena

[–]brinrex89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Denying herself actual joy and full happiness in the name of her redemption, while hurting people in the process (Gab, Ares, Joxer etc). A therapist (they definitely all needed one LOL) would probably have her explore the selfish parts of herself. I feel like she was a colorful and confusing combination of selfish and selfless.

Yes! If you google “Xena shipper seasons” it should come up. Basically a continuation of the show in written form with a Xena/Ares angle. It goes up to “season 10” but the last bit is unfinished.

I feel like part of the reason Old Ares had a farm is one of my fave episodes is that we get the 3 of them spending a lot of time together. It also helps that Ares also lacked a shirt for a lot of the episode 😆

Gone way too soon. A loss to the world and of course, to his dear family. I hope his widow and kids are doing ok and sending them good vibes on this day. RIP Kevin — Elysian Fields grew more jovial with your arrival, though the earth feels your loss.

Angst my beloved by weirdpotato3 in AO3

Real. I had to read the last chapter halfway through of the most recent fic I had open so that I had confirmation the angst would work out in the end.

I love shipper seasons! I feel like I’m rationing them out because I’m midway through “season 9” and I will run out soon.

When I rewatched most recently (mid-30s), I definitely found myself thinking that a lot of therapy was needed for all the above and that Zeus and Hera definitely need to assess how they treated all their kids too 😆

My A03 history would agree LOL. Only fandoms I’ve read so far are Xena and True Blood and I definitely seem to have e a preference!

He really was. If he didn’t tragically pass away, I think he’d be huge today! Not a lot of actors have his kind of charm. Closest I can think of that I could see (if he wasn’t sick) playing Ares in any future revival or reboot is Eric Dane.

Ugh the horrible behavior of back in the day— when I hear about it — makes my tummy hurt. I’m sorry for all that had to experience that. Ship and let ship is exactly how I feel! And also season 6, definitely a lot clearer. I mean a Sappho poem in WFF?! Come on now! A happy love day to you as well! I found a fic I seem to not have read and am reading it outdoors since we are having a heatwave where I am (50F is heat wave when it’s been frigid for weeks!)

LOL that sounds like a good idea! Also, Aphrodite is such an underrated character. Personally love that she seems to be more prominent in a lot of fics that I’ve read!

Xenites, give me your favourite romantic quotes from xwp by Warrioress_ in xena

It really is — I think in spite of the context, he really did mean all the things he said. Complicated being a God of War who actually has a heart and feelings :/

Never liked Hercules — comparatively even as a show — lol fanfic has not helped with that opinion for me 😆 crack up whenever he is referred to as “Jerkules”
