Xena: Crying Princess

Feb 17, 2009 20:26

I started watching Xena in an effort to procrastinate. Then I thought, what better way to put off work than to read fanfics, specifically Xena fanfiction. Sporking in bold.

I have to fight back the tears welling in my lungs and crawling out of my heart at the destruction of Xena.

Hold on, I feel tears coming up from my heart.

Fight them back down. They might try to drown you by getting into your lungs.

*gives Xena a tear swatter and Gabrielle a tin of tear spray* Worse than bloody cockroaches!

Thank you! I can't read much Xena fanfic because of this.

"Warrior got this upset with the Bard"
I just LOVE how badfic authors are so desperate to avoid the characters' names.
How much time in the story do you think they spend crying? Do you think that the percentage of tears is as high as in Bill: the Creeping?

I believe so. They don't waste any time creeping around and instead spend the time they save crying. At one point in the "story" Gabby calls Xena "my Warrior." I've watched every single episode and I don't remember Gabby ever calling Xena "Warrior." It almost makes me cry, but now I'm afraid to.

Awww, I like the "my Warrior" and "my Bard" bits. ^^' (I think the "warrior" part is a shortened version of "Warrior Princess." And yes, I do try to make logic if I use fanon plot-devices. Even when they're used as fond little endearments.)

That said - yeah, I've read this one and winced. People should remember Xena was a WARLORD, as in "leader of LOTS OF OTHER WARRIORS by being the biggest badass." Not to mention Ares' favorite.
