I think I remember him being better in later episodes, but by god do I hate season one Ares. He gives clingy ex vibes. Or maybe toxic father.
a pet peeve I have in media is when the writer(s) try to write a strong female character and instead the just write a masculine woman. Of course woman can be masculine and strong (together and separately), but often I don’t feel like they write women who are masculine, they try to write a strong women and they can only conceive masculinity as strength. Also, I’m not sure if I’m phrasing this poorly, but it doesn’t always strike me that they write masculinity in the way a woman (or maybe a genderqueer person, though I haven’t had the pleasure of reading many original media featuring these characters prominently) might experience/express it.
one thing I appreciate about Xena as I’m rewatching it as an adult is that it feels like they’re women who have masculine traits/are masculine. Like, even beyond the fighting aspect, Xena often sits in stereotypically masculine way and takes charge/fulfills roles that are shown to be taken by men within the world they occupy. Additionally, I know that later, Gabrielle is joked to be “father” to Xena’s daughter, but I’m not that far yet, so I don’t know how far that’s taken.
idk, it just feels different to me. If anyone else has input/polite pushback I’d appreciate it/conversation! Or any other pieces of media that do this/explore women’s masculinity/gender expression/afab exploration of masculinity.
just started a Xena binge, and every time she launches herself onto Argo, my first though is “ouch”
I ask chatgpt why Xena warrior princess feels more progressive than shows of today.
It's crazy to think we still haven't gotten another show like Xena since we've been promised with progression. It just feels like corporate marketing blurbs even shows like Agatha all along still doesn't compare to Xena warrior princess for one it was too goddamn short.
Love this
As I'm rewatching XWP atm this little headcanon scene came to me and wouldn't leave me alone till I drew it
Yeah lot of older Gen z and younger millennials had to watch Xena and glee. Lol I love it, love that he mentioned Xena.

For the longest time, I have been looking at this scene from Season 1 and realized that they captured a real rainbow in real-time. What a coincidence That the Show is very gay! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈👩🏻❤️👩🏼👩🏻❤️👩🏼👩🏻❤️👩🏼
Real nice, it's just like the play Gabrielle wrote.
when fates collide
i have build up the confidence to share my fanart of xena x gabrielle
I enjoy making these and probably gonna make more as they are my favorite WLW pairing ever. I like the ancient mystical fantasy Greek setting of the show which kind of matches Greece's gay history with Sappho in many happy returns (Xena have Sappho write a sweet loving poem to Gabrielle for her birthday).Xenaa and Gabrielle also have a princess and prince vibe.
So cute, it has a breath of the wild vibe and I love it.
I forgot about this. This is so cute, xena is always spoiling her gabby.
this what yall call filler eps? bc i love this so much omg
Absolutely mind-blowing stuff here with Luma Ai. I have wasted two days of my life messing around with this. The only downside is that the program is expensive and I see why.
Quick summary these scenes are from the show but altered with AI to enhance the kisses between xena and Gabrielle. As we all know xena was a 90's show so some of their kiss scenes had to be shortened and or made in a creative way not to piss off homophobic censors.
I'm glad that someone point that line out.
