4alarmfirecracker:marsh-fritillary:brittanaluv:suchaneutralgood:Is this… Is she flirting?They were before fandoms gave ship names . Lol, this was considered subtext, their way of getting around limitations back then.The thing with Xena is that we often talk about it as though there was les!yay thrown in as a bonus for fans who wanted to read it as queer. Like, ‘we’ll give you this extra material and some tools and you can add the gay on yourselves if you want’.But really it was the other way around. This was a love story between two women. It was a gay as hell show. But it provided enough plausible deniability for those made uncomfortable by that to pretend that they were just gals being pals. (Among whom were included some of TPTB.)It’s not a straight show that gave us as much gay is it could manage as a bonus. It’s a gay as hell show that wore the bare minimum disguise it needed so that you could keep your straight goggles on and pretend not to know that Clark Kent was Superman.So true !!! -- source link
