🩷smoochy smooch🩷

Lucy Lawless was not a particularly burly woman, but somehow she made Xena seem like a fucking tank and I don’t understand how.

Don’t get me wrong—she was strong, and certainly not a waif, but more than almost any other female superhero actress I’ve ever seen, Lucy Lawless exuded physical power and weight that I actually believed (when she wasn’t somersaulting in front of a ridiculous greenscreen).

that’s a damn good point

INTENSE FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

COSTUME EMPHASIZING BREADTH OF SHOULDERS

THEM THIGHS

WHATEVER THE FUCK THIS IS ABOUT HOLY SHIT

JAWLINE

EVERYTHING. ALL OF IT. I DON’T KNOW I’M JUST FEELING EXCEPTIONALLY WARM RIGHT NOW.

I LOVE HER

This is because the tank is not concerned with muscle or endurance. Tank is purely a matter of 60% attitude, 30% mindset, and 110% fuckaroundandfindout.

I've also seen another version of the commentary on this post speculating that she was also SHOT like male action star at the time - which has nothing to do with size, but with posture and staging and yes, attitude. 😊

I’ve been binging Xena again and since I did the Sailor Moon redraw– why not her? Probs gonna do Gabrielle too 

Six Fanarts, Six Styles.

i love this, but fuck Xena is holding that thing wrong, ouch girl your hand should be bleeding

I tried to look for the right way but I guess I was wrong 😭 I really thought since she holds her chakram that way since s1. But you’re right it’s not really practical for her to hold it that way 🤣

Update: I’m just watching the episode with the neutralized chakram and yes I was wrong.

Listen, she never uses it like a real chakram xD And she should be bleeding all the time but she’s not, so there are various theories in the fandom. A. She’s used it so much that her hands are already so thick with scar tissue that it doesn’t cut her properly anymore. That and her muscles let’s her stop it easily. B. Due to her possibly being Ares’ child (Squicky I know, but thems the Greek gods) and/or because the weapon is of a divine nature it just doesn’t cut what it doesn’t want to cut. (See it acting blunt at times and sharp at others) C. There are one or two spots on it that are dull and she catches it using those spots every. Single. Time. Point is, draw her using it however, both the old and the later one. She can use it the way you drew because she’s Xena.

Aphrodite from Xena would do this and you can’t convince me otherwise

yes her glasses are the bisexual flag what about it?

Well, canonically she says “Ex-squeeze me?” but, yeah. Beautiful art.

this is the only valid comment

WIPs of the xena badges i’m working on

the Greek pantheon has to share one braincell

in the time of ancient gods, warlords and kings, a land in turmoil cried out for a hero

Xena vs Callisto

I’ll do whatever I have to do to protect her.
