i would watch the show about naevia and crixus on the shores of the afterlife. oenomaus and melitta can come too. also donar and mira and barca and pietros. but none for ashur.
THIS, SO MUCH THIS. And none for Ashur. But I'm kind of shipping Donar/Saxa now (in whatever AU they're together) because girl, you deserve so much better than Gannicus right now.
And OMG yes, Crixus/Naevia are Finnick/Annie so much it hurts.
THIS EPISODE. I do think it's fitting that nobody, in the end, could defeat Crixus one-on-one, face to face. He still went down as the Undefeated Gaul, and his final moments were about love, not defeat.
yeah i'm somehow really into saxa/donar somehow??? i think the team germania of it all got me. like they are both so chill about everything and so fierce about killing things and they would just be perf and then gannicus could go sob into his haircape. (UGH GANNICUS, WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU.)
it is actually so painful though :/ i got partway through writing thg!crixus and then i watched this ep and i couldn't i just like. MY HEART.
how fucking beautiful was that last shot, too? so beautiful. which is a thing i never thought i'd say about a shot of somebody's head being detached from their body. (all the exposed flank parallels made me weep even more.)
Saxa/Donar OMG. And yessss Team Germania, they would have rockin' fierce warrior children.
Ugh, Gannicus. Seriously, if they didn't make Sibyl and her helplessness and her Pure Untouched Vagina (as opposed to Saxa being all "Yeah I wanna fuck you") the catalyst for his "growth" I'd be far less bothered by it. It's like, "It's not healthy to have a hero complex, OK..."
OMG I know, CRIXUS. I knew it was coming and it was well done but still, noooooooooooooooooo. :/ Did you see the preview for next week?
The final shot was beautiful. I mean, that whole final scene where the two of them are just basically totally ignoring Tiberius and the Romans and determined to make Crixus' last moments something solely between the two of them....my heart. It cannot take it.
and like, the only way the team germania children would ever learn to be responsible adults would be when nasir stepped in like, "GUYS YOU HAVE TO FEED THE CHILDREN YOU CAN'T JUST TEACH THEM TO BRAWL"
i am SO UPSET about everything involving the sibyl storyline. also sibyl because like, she never asserts herself except re: her relationship! there is literally nothing else in her character! spartacus YOU ARE USUALLY BETTER THAN THIS. like it would even have been better if gannicus had been like, "so ... i think i'm here for a relationship now???" and saxa was like, "no thanks, i would prefer to not" and THEN he fucked off with sibyl, like at least that would make sense. ugh i just have a lot of hatefeels.
YES. and now i'm like reasonably sure naevia is pregnant with crixus' bb AND IT WILL BE BEAUTIFUL IF ANGRY ALL THE TIME. (since like, all the babies on this show die i feel like one of them should make it out?)
i was actually crying. i had to keep pausing it to look away and deep breath and then come back. ;___;
