Guys, you really have to stop saying Xena/Gabrielle is not canon, “almost canon”, and/or subtext. It is canon. They are soulmates. They are in love. Watch the damn show.

Not to mention Lucy and Renee going up to bat for the LBGTQIA+ community from the beginning.

I wanted to share what my bedroom (shrine) looks like 😅 Having my room like this has been a dream since I was a kid. It’s not finished though…there’s still some blank wall space 🤣 I also have a 65” TV that is often playing Xena while I work on other stuff.

Thought this might interest the Xenite community

As if I couldn't get anymore excited for the new series of 'My Life Is Murder', they casually confirm Renee will guest star in one of the episode directed by Michael Hurst. He also has a role in the ep.

When I saw the news I was with a friend who had no idea why I was so excited over the announcement. Had fun trying to explain who they were and why it means so much to see them working together again.

Loving all the memes and photos being shared, especially this one on Instagram by @Xenascrolls. Brings back all the feels.

2002 April Premiere Photograph Club Set

The photo club set for April in 2002 was titled “Visiting Hercules” and it contained 8 gorgeous images demonstrating the chronology of Lucy and Renee’s appearances in the Hercules franchise.

First up? This stunning (and slightly risqué) image of Renee’s first appearance as Deianeira in Hercules’ second telemovie - ‘Hercules & the Lost Kingdom’ (1994). She was only 23 when this aired.

Next up? Lucy in her first appearance as Lyla in the Hercules episode ‘As Darkness Falls’ (1x06) which aired in 1995. Lyla wasn’t Lucy’s first character in the Hercules verse- she did play the Amazon Lysia in the first telemovie ‘Hercules & the Amazon Women’ (1994). I absolutely adore the hair crimp in this image. It is perfection 😍

Finally, image 3- we get Lucy in her first appearance as Xena in the Hercules episode ‘The Warrior Princess’ (1x09), airing only a few weeks after her appearance as Lyla. The hair is dyed, and she has taken on the ass-kicking, peanut-stomping attitude we love!! Sadly.. no more 80s hair crimp 😟 …probably for the best in the long run. 

Image 4. Here we go. Xena and Gabrielle in their appearance in the Hercules episode ‘Judgement Day’ (3x15) in 1997. Interestingly, this is the only Hercules episode where Xena and Gabrielle pop in as their mainstream characters to help out Hercules. All the other appearances are either Xena’s origin story in Season One or as AU characters further on. I find this an odd thing- Xena very quickly surpassed Hercules in viewers and ratings. Why wouldn’t you have them pop in more often to help pull some viewers back to Hercules? Maybe they were just too busy with their own show... or... Sorbo issues? (cough cough).

Speaking of AU characters! Photo 5. Lucy as AU Xena in Hercules’ ‘Stranger in a Strange World’ (4x05) in 1997. And I am not complaining. It looked like she had so much fun with this character and pair it with her cake fight with Aphrodite and then Ares, God of Love popping in- 100% makes this worth watching. 

Photo 6. Of course we cannot have AU Xena without AU Gabrielle in ‘Stranger in a Strange World’ (4x05). 

“Where is that Trojan elephant that stopped me!?”

😂 ...kills me every time!

Photo 7 portrays another fantastic AU character that Renee played. This is AU Gabrielle in ‘Armageddon Now: Part II’ (4x14) in 1998. 

...which of course is the teaser to... drumroll.....

Photo 8! The last photo in the April set! Essentially the 60 second clip in ‘Armageddon Now: Part II’ that launched an entire genre of fanfic. The hair crimper is back! 🤩 Xena has a GIANT golden winged head piece! 😍😍 Its just all levels of gorgeousness. 

Well, thanks for reading my rambles. Hope you enjoyed the pretty pics. Have a good one! xo

hello xenites

pls help me find a fanfic!

i read it last year but i've been wanting to find it again these last few days. it WAS a very dark fanfic in the emotional sense. basically it was like this:

xena had a daughter way before solan, and she gave it up. this daughter was found by alti and alti raised her, by doing so the child hated xena and wanted nothing more than to kill her with alti support ofc. The first chapter (it was very long chapters thank god) it was all about a battle with xena, gabrielle and eve against alti and xena's daughter.

anyways, the child is like saved by our trio and the whole other chapters its about this new family dynamic, but the daughter (which i cant remember her name) its struggling bc she grow up in a cave and does not know how to relate or behave with people and ofc alti damaged her and a lot of things happens like she beat gabrielle up thinking it was alti's ghost hauting her and xena said she wanting nothing more to do it with her bc she hurted gabrielle etc like it was very dark

IF YOU KNOW WHAT FIC THIS IS PLS TELL ME AND IF YOU READ IT PLS TELL ME ALSO IT WAS SO GOOD!
