Who you are... (SOM #9)
Sep. 13th, 2022 12:14 amPrompt: 13 things that make you who you are.
"1. Xena, my bestfriend, mentor and soulmate.
2. The Amazons, who taught me all I know about leading.
3. Fighting for the Greater Good.
4. War, the sacrifices it takes, the consequences it leaves.
5.Dahak. Hope.
6. Eli, whose way of love I wasn't destined for, yet I learned plenty from him.
7. Fighting the Gods to protect Xena's baby, I guess that's shaped part of me, too.
8. Killing someone for the first time. It changed everything.
9. And Killing Korah... Killing an innocent changed everything to me as well, and I have to live with that burden for however long I have left on this earth.
10. ... Callisto.
11. My friends, who I've learned from and with.
12. Death.
13. Jappa... All of what happened in Jappa.
Frankly, I don't think this list does it all justice, but it's close enough."

13 Strange Facts (SOM #8)
Sep. 12th, 2022 11:24 pmPrompt: Tell us 13 strange facts about you.
"Well, I know my mun already wrote a few facts about me. But strange facts? I suppose I'll give it a go.
1. I was born with six toes, but I no longer have them.
2. I briefly was able to live my future life.
3. I was also briefly able to live an alternative version of myself.
4. Twice.
5. In one of those alternative versions of myself, I destroyed the Fates' loom and re-set the course of this time back to normal, after Caesar tampered with it...
6. There was a time where I had a premonition about how Xena would die in a battle against the Persians.
7. The tattoo on my back was done by a ghost.
8. Also, that tattoo has some sort of protective spells against malicious spirits, but this was something I was not aware of when I had it made.
9. I can grab things with my toes and undo some complicated knots.
10. I know who my soulmate is, I don't think many people get to know who is their soulmate.
11. My seasickness is quite something. By that I mean it's pretty bad, bad enough that Xena had to knock me out sometimes.
12. I have the scars of my crucifixion in my palms, a small scar hiding in the back of my head from when Xena cut my head to stop the Furies and a barely visible scar on my cheek from my time during my 25 year sleep. All of those things seem to make no sense for whoever reads without any context.
13. I died.

The Bar Brawl (Open RP)
Aug. 26th, 2022 07:19 pmThe brawl may or may not have been started by the battling bard of Potedeia, but that hardly mattered now that it surely escalated beyond her hands and spilled all across the busy bar. Yes, it was a bar in chaos with fist flying, drinks spilling, many people shouting and things breaking. Would Gabrielle be fighting you over a misunderstanding? Over something very serious? Are you caught in the crossfire with her? Or perhaps you're trying to avoid conflict and being picked on by drunk people who don't even know who to fight!

Five people. (SOM #6)
Aug. 24th, 2022 02:28 amPROMPT: Five people who have died and one who's still alive.
"Five people who have died... Off the top of my head I think of Perdicus, who died in the hands of Callisto. I think of Eli, who died by the hands of Ares. I think of Hope, killed by her own son. I think of Solan, who my own daughter -- Hope -- killed. And lastly, even if my heart aches, I think of Xena. The Legendary Warrior Princess, dead at the hands of an dishonorable samurai who outnumbered her a thousand to one.
The person who is still alive is me, to tell their stories."

The Weapons of The Battling Bard.
Aug. 21st, 2022 08:02 pmGabrielle has quite the range of experience with weapons, going from rope to swords, to staff and Sais. Then, at the very end, she has possession of the Chakram! I'll be going into some details about it, especially the history of the Chakram.

I'll just compile most of my canon and post-canon analysis of the show and the surrounding mythos of it. This will mainly touch upon Xena: Warrior Princess with little bits and mentions of Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, when relevant.
These are not in any particular order. So, enjoy!
CHARACTER STUDY
➤ Regarding The Subtext and how the mun interprets it.
➤ Regarding the tattoo on Gabrielle's back and it's symbolism.
➤ About mun's interpretation of Joxer and his status as a soulmate (shh, I know. I explain it there, I promise it makes sense).
➤ Mun's insane rambling about post-canon Gabrielle, the girl with the Chakram.
➤ A list of places Xena and Gabrielle canonically visited (unfinished).
➤ Philosphy Crash Course (Simple quotes collected to understand Gabrielle's personal motif).
➤ Quick bullet list of Headcanons.
➤ Gabrielle, The Amazons & Their Fate.
➤ Gabrielle's weapons throughout the show! Mainly for Mun's knowledge and for context.
➤ Aphrodite & The Champion, Gabrielle (Pending, very headcanony)
➤ Reincarnation, Modern Iterations, Alternative universe, oh my! (Pending)
DRABBLES, FICLETS, OH MY! (Basically character study through fanfic)
➤ Pregnant glow.
Status: Always under construction.

Scroll of The Amazons (& Their Fate)
Aug. 20th, 2022 04:08 pm
In this post I wanna briefly go over Gabrielle's relationship to the Amazons and settle what I think happened to them post-canon. Yes, this is way obvious to many but for those who are still curious, here it is.
To quickly recap: Gabrielle was not born an Amazon but became one through the rite of caste, when Gabrielle tried her best to protect and save an Amazon Princess. In the Princess' death bed, she passed on her title and bestowed Gabrielle with the honor of being the Amazon Princess, soon to become Amazon Queen. From that point on in the show, she slowly becomes more aware of the culture of the Amazons, their traditions, their lifestyle, and her and Xena help them several times in the past. As the show goes on we see a lot of people we know from the Amazons die in battle and pass on their titles to the younger generation, such was the life of an Amazonian Warrior. Queen Gabrielle, however, often stopped by to help them in conflict, remind them of their traditions and their true path and make sure that the Queen in charge of the Amazonian tribe is well prepared, so to speak.

Defining Moments (SOM #5)
Aug. 19th, 2022 11:33 pmPROMPT: What was your most defining moment in life?
"Do I have to choose only one? Well, if I had to, I suppose I'd pick the moment my village was overrun by warlords. I was there in the group of farmers and innocent villagers, young and naive, shaking at the idea of being taken as a slave. At that moment I understood fear, but when Xena came out and fought those warlords... I don't know how to explain it, it's like something shifted within me, something suddenly felt like it was pushed in place. I fought back against those warlords and Xena ran them out of my village and from that moment onward nothing has been the same in my life. I swore to fight for the greater good then, to make sure I could help as many people as I could and forbid this from happening to them.
There have been plenty of other moments that have defined who I am today, but thinking back on it... none of these moments would have ever happened had I not been that little stubborn bard that tagged along with Xena. Had I not experienced that fear, that helplessness, that strange anger at not being able to protect my people, nothing would have happened. Be it good or bad, that moment changed the course of my life. Forever."
