The theme song by Queen asks "Who wants to live forever?", and it's a rhetorical question, the answer is supposed to be a meditation on how outliving your girlfriend sucks but you should make the best of it anyway.

And then Methos comes along and answers that question with "Me. I do. Yes, hello, I want to live forever."

"Chivalry" | Highlander: the Series

Featured Article: Highlander

This week’s featured article brings you Highlander, the franchise about immortals living among humans. The franchise first started with the 1986 film Highlander and later got expanded into a TV series. Due to its multi-media tie-ins such as an animated series, comics, and books, the canon is highly varied depending on the creators and countries of production.

The series centers around the life of 400-year-old Duncan 'Mac' MacLeod and his struggles to have a "normal" life while still confronting the dangers of being an Immortal. Duncan’s companions are his long-time human girlfriend Tessa Noël and the teenage thief Richie Ryan, who Duncan took in after the later accidentally learned about the existence of Immortals.

Aside from the canon ship Duncan/Tessa, a major slash pairing in the fandom is Duncan/Methos. As both Duncan and Methos are immortals, fans like to speculate about their life throughout the different historical eras.

Crossover is a common trope in HL fanfics and often involve inserting Highlander characters or Highlander-style immortals into another fandom such as Buffy or Stargate SG-1.

Highlander memes 2026!

Do you ever randomly remember a character from an old movie/tv-series/book you used to really like when you were, like, nine? A character you didn't really think about all these years, to the point where you forgot what their name even was? And then you remember, read a wiki page about them, then look at the stuff you write right now and go: "Ohhh... That certainly explains a few things".

Because this was me today with Methos from ye olde Highlander TV series. Damn, he was cool.

And yeah, I guess there's a reason why my fanfics (especially the unpublished ones) are so ridiculously dramatic and sappy. And you, mister "Because the alternative is unthinkable", are definitely a part of the problem!

(actually, nevermind, there is no problem, I enjoy being a sentimental mess, and I genuinely believe those late 90s/early 00s tv shows did me way more good than harm)
