#lololololololol that's so goofy

[rimouskis]

can I be so open and vulnerable with you guys. the card I was given from people at my old office was sincerely so nice and really validating but also I feel like the main impression I left other people with was "she's really nice" WHICH IS GOOD, I DO WANT TO BE KNOWN AS NICE but also part of me is like... should I maybe strive for "innovative" or "creative" or "a go-getter" because being The Nice One just feels a little mealy-mouthed of me y'know?

Observations from “Sins of the Past”

So, I watched the Xena Warrior Princess series premiere all the way through last night. ’Twas the first time I’d seen it since completing the whole series. Naturally, I took down seventy-two larger notes about it. I will spare this post the entirety of my ramblings. haha I guess I’ll give you fifteen of them. Is that a good number? Hope so! 🥲 Oh, also; please don’t mind my goofy Meg-like nicknames for people.

Xena doesn’t only look back for Gabrielle. How interesting. She first looks back at and then aids random other villagers. Perhaps this is another sign of what GW did for Xe. (Then again, maybe Xe was looking for GW that first time but didn’t have long enough to find her? Either way, she looked for GW twice after that. Hmm…)

GabbyWabs is SO bossy! 😆 Why does Hector have to let the others go? Why does Xena have to teach you everything she knows and take you with her? Maybe GW was always a princess, Amazon or not. 

Why am I not surprised that this kid =/= stealthy? Are we to assume that she never snuck out before now? She clearly doesn’t know where to step to avoid creaking and crashing. 😆

I’mma just assume Xena calls Argo “boy” to embolden her or to rile her up; either way, it’s to get them both across the bridge. As we’ll well see, Xe is not as much a fan of walking as G is. 😂 (Also, is it just me, or does Argo look super pale in this episode? She seems practically white rather than usual so-called golden.) 

I’m not surprised that Xena told Hector the pinch works quicker than she tells other people it does. He’s dumb and wastes time. I think Xe actually should have done this more often. 😝 (Watch the pinch actually take five minutes to fully go into effect, but Xena just doesn’t have the patience to wait around that long. heh) Don’t believe me that she’s just rushing him? Listen how quick twenty seconds becomes ten, especially when in later seasons, thirty is sometimes closer to sixty, if not more! This is the first (and only?) we’re hearing about sensation taking a few minutes to return, though; I think. Hm… 

Cyrene! Hiiii! …Oh my. 😂 I like how no one cowered when Warlord Xena (as far as they know) walked in. But Cy with a blade?? Ruuun!!! Run and cuddle, quick! …XenieWeenie looks so sad. 😞

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL! So, we’ve seen this she-beast stare down an army, a warlord, a Cyclops, a sword-wielding mama, and a stone-brandishing mob, even be threatened if not attacked by each, and yet barely blink. But a tiny fluff-ball diving between her and being murdered? That’s scary! *SUPER flinch* Heeeee! 

Too, why do I feel like XW is that dude who sued Mr. Incredible? “You didn’t save my life! You ruined my death!” I’m getting serious “Could you please stop interrupting my suicide attempts? That’s two out of two now!” vibes from XW’s expressions. 😂 

And then this! What does little GW do? The second; the second she gets invited into Xena’s personal space? GW grabs da butt! LOL/But of course. XW eye-rolls. LOL/But of course, the sequel. 😂

Going to see Lyceus seems to be another challenge to G in addition to a self-soothing move for Xe. + D’awww. His ever-dirty face 🥲 + You knew this already, love. + Op. Non-shocker. Of course the princess just strolls right into a super private moment and immediately makes her presence known. 😂 But where would we be if she hadn’t? D’aw! Even here, Xe agrees. 

Did Xe tie G outside with Argo? That’s the only way the princess isn’t here, right? XD ...What the? *quick rewind* Oh. I missed her sneaking in while I was writing. Yay, she’s developing already. Nothing creaked or crashed this time. 😂

Hee/D’aw! Xe forgot stuff at her mom’s tavern again. Sure, Xena. But awww! This time she gets what she really came for. A fond smile, warm hug, and words of forgiveness and reconciliation… what more could a giant “little one” ask for? 🥲

Hee! GW sees that sword raised to her and just keeps sulking her way forward. Oh, GW. But this is yet another sign that she’s just as brave as Xena is, if not more so 🥲Never forget how frightened Xe was of G a few minutes ago while the girl is not fazed by the Destroyer of Nations. LOL 

GW really can be so insightful and eloquent at times. She duly gets accolades for her understanding, but Xe is understanding too ���here, anyway. I wonder if GW was being more tricky or sincere with her conclusion. Hmm… Eep. She blinks in recognition of Xe’s understanding and meaning. Cuuute! …Xe rolls her eyes. Shocker. 😆 

Something tells me that GW won’t be sleeping “over there” for very long. She’ll get quite possessive over her spot next to Xena too (Thank you very much, Tara. 😑).

Like... I know everyone loves cracking jokes about how little girls beat the shit out of Roman but don't forget these same little girls have dismembered someone, threw someone to their supposed death in a sky full of Grimm, impaled someone, disfigured someone, murdered someone out of self defense! AND if you argue, "WELL THOSE PEOPLE TRIED TO KILL THESE GIRLS!!" So did Roman in the show!

Basically almost every single fight he's in, he would have killed the heroes had help not arrived for them! But "lololololololol stupid goofy villain can't fight for crap. He's not impressive as a fighter! So he should be a creep to make him a more effective villain!!! Lololololol!!!"

I am so tired of everyone trying to downplay Roman so much, whether they're defending his manga characterization or defending his character in general.
