#this could turn into a crixus fanblog so fast i've been showing real restraint here

[theseventhveil1945]

one of the greatest strengths of spartacus: blood and sand writing-wise is how multi-dimensional all the characters feel and crixus is the best example of this imo... he's first introduced as this fierce, undefeated gladiator and a vicious schoolyard bully. then we get to know him a little more and learn that his formidable skills in the arena and the impressive masculine form he cuts make him vulnerable to the whims of the roman women who want to paw at or fuck him. and finally we see his tender, romantic heart and the deep love he holds for naevia. and he's all these things at once <3 love him
