Rob Tapert and Lucy Lawless on Xena and Gabrielle’s relationship

[jumpthethunder]

This is why Xena was never queer-baiting. When they decided to go with having Xena and Gabrielle be soulmates (and lovers) they did everything they possibly could to make it a clearly illustrated love story between two women, but they were forced to make it subtext by the censors and the networks. Despite all this they still succeeded, over the course of the series, with having Xena and Gabs explicitly declare their love for one another, having more than one entire episode dedicated to the strength of their love and their willingness to fight and die for one another in any world or time, literally saying over and over that they were soulmates, showing them married (in a roundabout way) in a future life, and having them kiss more than once. They didn’t dangle the illusion of a romance in front of our eyes and then undercut it, they didn’t play with our feelings just to rob us of any real love between these two women. And, despite Xena’s death in the end, they not only showed her soul remaining with Gabrielle but they had already done several episodes that assured the audience that Xena and Gabrielle’s souls would be reincarnated together for all of eternity. Yes, there were the obligatory male romances thrown in here and there, but they became less and less frequent over the years until they were all but gone by seasons 5 and 6, and in the end not a single one of those romances proved more important than the bond between Xena and Gabrielle.

Lastly, from the very moment the idea of this relationship was presented to the cast they supported it. Lucy and Renee were happy to be seen this way, they never mocked their shippers, they never shied away from it in fear of what it could do to their reputations or careers. They treated questions about Xena and Gabrielle’s romance with honesty and respect at conventions (though Lucy is often a sarcastic ass-and I love her for that- so sometimes she can be interrupted as being snarky), and they acknowledged the importance of showing love like this on tv.

#very cheeky of them to add “friend” to the end of that line #i like that they could point out the irony that they could only have xena and gabs passionately kiss only if one of them was reincarnated in a man’s body #just like in the quest  #it’s like here look this is the xena/gab relationship we want to give you guys #but the TPTB won’t let us #it’s shitty that it had to be ted instead of lucy but at least they pretty much said xena and gabs are definitely a couple and they will be together in every life it’s canon

#I know I have reblogged this scene about 400000 times but I can’t help it#It is by far one of the most romantic moments I have ever seen played out on television#It is literally a soulmates AU#Xena and Gabrielle are in another world—a world where they’ve never met#and their lives couldn’t be more different#Xena is the conquering Empress of Rome married to Julius Caesar#She has subdued most of the known world with her armies and lives mostly for battle#Gabrielle is an up-and-coming playwright who writes about love without ever having felt it#Caesar invites Gabrielle to Rome to stage her new play—a play based on her subconscious awareness of another world in which she#and Xena are lovers who will bend heaven and hell for each other—and when Xena sees it she is instantly taken#All it takes is one small conversation between the Empress and the playwright and instantly their hearts remember all the other universes#in which they’re together#Cue this scene when Xena is distracted by the newfound feelings she experienced watching the play#She goes to her balcony and sees Gabrielle across the way taking in the nighttime air#The look on her face is one that shows she is absolutely overcome—caught up in a love so powerful that the cosmos would cower#Gabrielle is the most beautiful thing she’s ever seen and it scares her half to death because she has never felt that way about Caesar#It’s just such a stunning sequence and so beautifully acted#This episode is an absolute romantic masterpiece#It takes my breath away every time (tags by @youstartedoutrandom)

xena warrior princess | season six

in the third act, you had your hero throw himself over the cliff with no fear of dying. all for her. do you really believe that kind of love exists? // that’s what we all dream about, isn’t it? someone who looks so deeply into our soul that they’d find something worth dying for.

Honey, don’t let the blonde hair fool you. Although bombastic forms of circumlocution should be generally avoided, one mustn’t shy away from big words in the right context. For damnwormholes
