#Xena Con

[girl4music]

Our Xenaverse family is growing day by day and this is without a Xena reboot or without anything that’s even renewed an interest in Xena. This truly is incredible and just goes to show you what loyalty really means.

What Lucy and Renee said is true. As much as we love them as our beloved leads, we don’t just show up for them. We show up for each other. Creators/cast/crew/community. But what makes it really special is we still do years and years after that very last episode ended.

29 years later and this is still our Xenite community. This is still what we are as a fandom. We’re family. And our family just keeps on going and growing forever without anything to really show for it or to justify it except unconditional love and unwavering loyalty.

It’s not just about the franchise of the Xenaverse.

It’s about what the franchise gave us and still does.

Unconditional love in friendship and found family.

It’s remarkable that nearly 30 years we’ve been doing this for. But we know as to why. We know why Xena is so timeless that people still show up for it 3 decades later. It’s because Xena belongs to us. The Xenites.

In a way it always has and evidently it always will because Xena is just as much our creation as it is the original creators. And I could not be more proud of us.

And no matter what I have to do to make it happen, I will make it to the 30th Xena convention. I love you all.

Had a blast at Creation's Xena Convention this last weekend!

It was so fun celebrating a show that had such an effect on me as a little girl and as I go through a rewatch of it now.

I also got to attend Hudson Leick's emotional healing workshop again there this year and it is always one of the best, rejuvenating experiences.

And I made a new con friend! I love bonding with other fans over all the nerdy fandoms we share. I hope we get to see each other at other cons in the future!

Love this show and the community it breeds so much! Everyone was so kind and giving and it was lovely getting to be a part of it! 🥰

Hello! Looking for anyone interested in a Lucy Lawless photo-op ticket for the upcoming Xenites Reunion Weekend in Burbank this month. I bought it a year ago but am sadly unable to make the full trip down as it's too costly (flight, hotels tickets to the con itself). They're sold out now and Creation doesn't give refunds so if anyone is interested shoot me an ask!

(OFF TOPIC) Hi. My name is Enoe Lopes Pontes. I am a PHD candidate that studies fan communities. Nowadays, my research is focused on understanding how non heterossexual women deal with Queerbaiting while they consume media products, such as TV shows, sagas etc. I am from Brazil, from Bahia Federal University and have been a PHD student since 2019. I am now in the phase of collecting data and for that I am doing several focus groups. 3 of them will be formed by international people and I would like to know if any of you would fit this profile and would like to participate in this research. The interviews will be conducted in english.If your answer is “yes”, please fill in english this poll that is on the link that I leave here for you. And if you know someone that could be interested in joining one of the groups, please send this person the link. Thank you for your attention. :D

Yep. They championed the love between them before it was even cool to do that. In fact it was controversial.

They didn’t want it to be a “grubby gag”.

They didn’t want to “label it”.

They just wanted it to be about love. The audience would interpret what the nature of their relationship was. But the love depicted and expressed between Xena and Gabrielle was very much an explicit love.

And that’s what people ultimately respond to. Not the fact they were “gay” or “queer” or whatever. But just that they were very much in love and that love is love.
