Do you ever wonder what was Gabrielle’s fate after Xena?
theevilwomanREAL@reddit
Just thinking about that ending is making me cry.
EBJ1990@reddit
Agreed, I like the idea that her scrolls were put out of order or this ep just didn't happen.
svendalin@reddit
She became the new Warrior Princess… since the whole show all about her development.
Specific_Committee_3@reddit
Oohhh I really like this theory!! 😍
LaurenInStereo119@reddit
She found a way to bring her back again.
summer_james2@reddit
She went to Egypt to revive Xena and they lived happily ever after and ride off in the sunset… bc duh gabby never listens so why would she at the end and let Xena stay dead! She is staying true to her character
Latte-Catte@reddit
Came here to comment this. Melissa Good's spinoff did our girls justice!
disaster_chips@reddit
Where can I find this?
multiplecats@reddit
They're referring to Virtual Season 7 wherein the show continues another season and Missy gave a script and I think Rob gave a script (been a while since I've read it) making it not totally official but also not quite non-canon.
disaster_chips@reddit
Is it on missy website?
multiplecats@reddit
Colder.
summer_james2@reddit
Great minds think alike. Yes I loved the spinoff.
Like come on how do you at the end literally make both our girls completely do everything out of character. Xena would never stay dead when she knows Gabrielle would be left on her own hurting .. and Gabrielle would never listen to Xena and not bring her back.
Latte-Catte@reddit
For real! Like you're her girlfriend now, take responsibility. Live the life out properly.
summer_james2@reddit
That’s why I don’t buy into the end. Too many out of character moments. That girl’s heart literally beats for Gabrielle.
DependentNebula5611@reddit
Me to. I pretend the season 6 finale, didn’t exist and never happened.
DependentNebula5611@reddit
I wish that happen and brought Xena back, that way and lived together happily.
Sighoward@reddit
She quested for a few years and then went back to Potidea to live out her life with her niece and sister. We do know she has a kid as we meet her descendent in The Xena Scrolls.
RedwoodFox71@reddit
Gabrielle probably went back home to Greece to put Xena ashes with her family and be lays to rest, while we don’t know what she was supposed to do in Egypt no her solo adventure.
While it originally was Xena plan to possible to lives their life there in the beginning of part 1 of AFIN, before the idea wasn’t going to happen for as Xena die and her choice to stay death and Gabrielle is now alone in the end.
We were saying that at the end kinda make no sense, because Xena is die and just see what she needs to go over there.
As I wish they had her say something like wherever the journey takes her next or something, rather than had her say about a girl with the Chakram maintenance sense to me now that Xena is dead and there no need to go to Egypt.
I know it was supposed to push the idea of a movie of Gabrielle bring Xena back to life, considering that didn’t happen, I don’t consider it to be Canon and I don’t know what she was supposed to do there.
But if I had to guess what she is doing after Xena died, I think that she returned back to Greece and took her role as the Amazon Queen leader. After she laid Xena ashes to rest in her families tomb.
trashythirst@reddit
what rob tapert said
DependentNebula5611@reddit
“She never took another lover.” That sad.
RedwoodFox71@reddit
That is definitely sad.
trashythirst@reddit
that’s what happens when your soulmate dies
DependentNebula5611@reddit
I know and I get that, but I think Xena would wants. Gabrielle to be happy and move on, find someone can love and have a family.
trashythirst@reddit
eh. they’ll try again in the next life. and i think gabrielle knows that.
DependentNebula5611@reddit
Uh?
DependentNebula5611@reddit
.
SuperGeorgeClooney@reddit
That doesn't matter, plenty of people never love again after a soulmate. Plenty of people continually have their genitals played with after the death of a soulmate, both are true, and both sound nice and sad to ppl.
DependentNebula5611@reddit
?
DependentNebula5611@reddit
Ok, true yes. But plenty of people, lose the love of their life. But they also so fine find, someone new to replace that pain lost.
But I doubt that, Xena would want Gabrielle. Hold love to her until, the day she died. I think Xena would want to Gabrielle to move on and find, who she loves again and refill her love in her heart again.
I don’t think, Xena wants Gabrielle not to single for of her life. Because Gabrielle still carried the love for Xena, remain single for rest her or never be with anyone else.
Agent8699@reddit
But, she and Aphrodite helped release their mutual tensions regularly! Just don’t call what they were doing “making love”.
Latte-Catte@reddit
I'm sure the some of the Amazon tribes have witches with dark magic to help revive Xena. We'll never know.
DependentNebula5611@reddit
Magic to bring Xena back to life, that could work.
SickBag@reddit
It was done multiple times in the show
Green_Elderberry1919@reddit
I think the idea at the end is she has gained the skills that Xena has taught her so she will go on and continue to travel the world helping people
Mean_Measurement4527@reddit
She cuts her hair short and becomes a lesbian … oh , wait …
000yayo@reddit
There is a manga continuation idk if it’s canon though Xena do come back to life something related to the old ancient gods before the one that existed i read it long time ago thats all i remember
LV_Hansen-HNG@reddit
I guess, whatever Gabrielle is doing. I think she is writing in her scroll, about everything what she doing and Xena then Gabrielle headed back home.
To rest and entire of living a peaceful life, reading stories to her grandchildren.
KingFox211@reddit
I wish we could have found out! Even just 2-3 seasons of Gabby off “on her own” would have been really cool.
IseQween@reddit
She returns to Greece with Xena's spirit, meets a teenaged girl and mature sailor who help her come to terms with losing the mortal WP and realize taking Xena "home" means keeping her ashes. With help from Eve and people she's met through her travels, she fulfills many of her dreams to foster peace and understanding, through founding a village near Amazon land and establishing alliances between neighboring communities. A gift from Higuchi gives clues that Xena did not have to stay dead for the 40,000 souls and convinces the duo to return there. Gabs uses her creative and warrior skills to indeed resurrect Xena and resume their life together for decades.
AuntyEmfromOz@reddit
Sounds like a fan fiction I read once. 😉😁
IseQween@reddit
Well, there you go. 😂
aliensxblairwitches@reddit
They also had a virtual season 7 or something after the show. I think. Someone smarter than me may have a link. It was in the early aught in which digitally streaming seasons were just being invented.
AuntyEmfromOz@reddit
Try https://svs.ausxip.com/s7_epguide.htm
aliensxblairwitches@reddit
Gawd yes thank you you blessed Xenite.
Pop_Stensbold@reddit
She sought out Najara and they became a new team.
AuntyEmfromOz@reddit
Yay!! One for Najara the Good.
EBJ1990@reddit
I like the idea of Gabby running into Najara again, but I think I want her to keep the djinn. I just want to erase the last five minutes of the Crusader.
Agent8699@reddit
Is Najara magically still young? Or is she … 55+ years old?
Pop_Stensbold@reddit
Well given how good Kathryn Morris looks at 56 now I don't think that'd be an issue :-)
Icy-Sir-8414@reddit
Personally I think she headed to Egypt got into a lot of adventures met someone later on had a family then decided to rejoin the Amazon's to lead them for the rest of her days
Live-Ad7345@reddit
I did not know there was a finale Where can I watch the finale of this? Is it on YouTube ?
Agent8699@reddit
Gabrielle traveled to Egypt, resurrected Xena to battle some great evil and then they continued travelling the world kicking butt for the greater good! She also forbade Xena from ever reading or responding to notes from long-dead girlfriends ever again!
Or Gabrielle had some adventures, returned to Greece, gathered up Lila, Sara and Eve and the surviving Amazons and forged a truly mighty and powerful Amazon nation that paved the way for a brighter future for all of Greece.
carz4us@reddit
I like bringing all the girls together
Agent8699@reddit
I think … family is important to Gabrielle and part of the appeal of settling down in one place would be to have her nearest and dearest close by.
Plus, given everything she went through, Sara probably doesn’t feel comfortable in Potideia. And Eve is technically an Amazon Princess which has some juicy potential in terms of what role she could play in rebuilding the Amazons and atoning for her own past sins against them (while growing closer to Varia).
EBJ1990@reddit
Yes I like the idea of Gabrielle settling down and being close to the Amazons and Sara/Lila. I also reject AFIN (at least the version we got) so Xena is also around. That's my ending.
DependentNebula5611@reddit
Gabrielle settle in the Amazons and perhaps become the queen, is something I can picture Gabrielle doing. If her journey end and go to become an Amazon leader.
EBJ1990@reddit
Definitely! I feel bad about the 25 year skip though since she didn’t have her original group but being able to have the remaining Amazons and have Lila/Sarah nearby would be good for Gabby.
carz4us@reddit
I think Eve and Varia would conflict at first. Each is strong and strong willed and capable. It might take a few adventures for Varia to completely forgive Eve, she killed her sister after all. They might even split the Amazons, some loyal to each one.
Gabrielle would remind them they are on the same side now, that the strength in the Amazon nation comes from their unity.
One day in a crazy adventure, Eve saves Varia’s life. Between that and Gabrielle’s wisdom, Varia can truly forgive Eve.
A few years later, they shack up.
MyriVerse2@reddit
There was no finale.
SueWahoo@reddit
Like the rest of us, she hopped on the Xena newsgroup and yelled about it. :)
janeway4seven@reddit
Aphrodite materializes and says: “let’s go get our girl.”
eTamires@reddit
He lived dying of homesickness. It's obvious that she wouldn't be happy without Xena alive by her side.
Flicksterea@reddit
I'd like to think she either went on and continued helping people as she travelled from Japan to Egypt before heading home again. Along the way, she encountered a young woman barely out of her teens and angry at the world, whom she took.jndee her wing. Gabrielle was never the fighter Xena was and likely went back to using words or acts of kindness to resolve what conflict she could and undoubtedly didn't physically fight much, thus teaching her mentee that violence is not the only path to take.
Upon her return to Greece, she found her way back to the Amazons where she spent several years being settled for the first time. Her mentee integrated with the Amazons and excelled, no surprise given her mentor. As Gabrielle got older, she began to write in earnest. Every tale, every adventure, every detail she could remember.
It is said that one morning, her hut was found empty of everything but the hundreds of scrolls she'd filled. A final scroll was left on her bed; she'd left for Japan as she knew her time was coming to an end and she had but one desire; to be reunited with her soulmate.
carz4us@reddit
This is wonderful. I would add that Eve would return and join the Amazon tribe too, remember Gabrielle gave her her right of cast and Eve is an Amazon princess. Much like Varia, Eve would be in charge of teaching fighting skills while, Gabrielle focused on her writing.
Flicksterea@reddit
I could easily see Eve returning to the Amazons, I'd forgotten that to be honest. It's been over 20 years since I watched AFIN or much of the final season, so thank you for the gentle reminder.
carz4us@reddit
Yeah the Eli storyline was ok but it’s not Eve’s final destiny. Her birthright is with the Amazons
TheCuri0usWatcher@reddit
So wholesome 🥹
DependentNebula5611@reddit
She most likely, she would return to the Amazon and become the queen. After she laid Xena to rest with her brother and mother back in Greece.
vdritz@reddit
Love thisss! I'd like to think Gabrielle going to the fountain where she was stopped from giving the water to Xena and in her last moments she tosses the chakram in the fountain to remain there for all time. Xena's ghost will appear to her and tell her "I never left you" or something of that sort. And she takes Gabrielle's spirit with her in the afterlife to be together forever.
FirebirdWriter@reddit
Okay I like this
Ill_Try356@reddit
Her and Virgil at least have a child together or she does with someone because in that one future episode where they are in the 40s they are the descendants of each of the main cast but I do agree that she most likely returns to the amazons and I like the idea she finds a way to bring Xena back Aries probably helps in some way.
XyberVoXXX@reddit
She got married to a guy and had children.
AuntyEmfromOz@reddit
She woke up from her nightmare and decided, enough is enough, I'm just going to kiss Xena and be done with it. And I'll let her know, in no uncertain terms, that we are NEVER going to do any more favours for any of her other ex-girlfriends.................
TheCuri0usWatcher@reddit
Gabby went on to become an Amazon queen as mighty and wise as the great Cyanne. But, Gabby found a way to astral project into other realms and dimensions far beyond the spirit world! Gabby happens to find a realm where people look like everyone from their own dimension, but they happen to have no souls! So Gabby finds the perfect host for Xena's spirit, but they need her essence to bring her back, the ashes!! So Gabby finds a way to carry over some of Xena's ashes the way Gabby carried over a dagger into the spirit world when she faced Alti the first time....and the Amazons perform a ritual like they did with Alti's bones and the special tree sap to seal Alti's spirit, but in reverse to unleash Xena's spirit from this realm!
So Gabby resurrects Xena in the alternate universe so they could honor the Japanese "avenged" killing of Xena. And Gabby crosses over from the alternate universe into a body that also looks like hers, where they do good & save inter-dimensional beings 🤣. They still spirit walk occasionlly and talk to Eve from time to time, but of course, chose their new home, stuck in the new dimension since all they really had was Eve, who was on her own mission anways.
Ares misses his warrior queen and one day while checking in on Eve in icognito mode (because he felt it was the only way he could honor Xena's memory because deep down he did love her), Ares notices Eve talking to someone he can't see, and over hears that it's Xena & Gabby! He reveals himself & finds out about them in the other realm/dimension! So Ares finds a way to bring both of them back to this realm, because Ares knows Xena won't stick around without Gabby! So he brings them both back the same way he brought Xena & Gabby back from Mavican's fighting realm in "Succession." Ares also found a Horace look a like, and even gets to have his little farm dog by his side 😭. And since Xena was resurrected in another realm and crossed over, thanks to Ares, the Japanese souls get to live happily ever after......and Xena & Gabby get to have more adventure in this lifetime all across Greece or wherever their skills take them 🤣, Eve gets to see her mother again, and Ares unintentionally saves the day one more time & occassionally vacations at the farm eith Horace, who turned out to be a girl dog in the other dimension, and the two Horace look alikes had puppies and Ares turned them into his new army! Everyone wins. Everyone is happy! 🤣🤣
Fin. 🎬 I made sure to cover every loose end 😭
DanieXJ@reddit
Go to AO3. Search for Pist-FIN. Lots of stories.
Cassandra_Canmore2@reddit
Married Xena, and they lived happily ever after.
bubba1834@reddit
I legit never watched the finale but somehow Gabrielle reverses everything that made it unwatchable and then they get married (in the right timeline) and live happily ever after.
singleguy79@reddit
Probably encountered Hercules...if he was still alive at that point...and told him about Xena.
Ashamed-Show-1094@reddit
Wow everyone so detailed and interesting and I was just thinking crazy cat lady lol
Jahon_Dony@reddit
She probably went to the land of the Pharaohs, I heard they were in need of a girl with a chakram.
supersalad987@reddit
She immediately found a way to bring Xena back from the dead and they lived happily ever after the end.
Feesh8@reddit
I approve this message.
Artemisteriosa@reddit
Yes, please. This.
TicketTop4718@reddit
I imagine she would go find Eve to tell her that her mother is dead ☹️
DependentNebula5611@reddit
Not sure what Gabrielle was to supposed to do in Egypt that got to with a Chakram at of the show, I would to think that Gabrielle went home to Greece and set Xena to rest next to her brother and mother.
After that, she could continue her journey of helping other people. (Perhaps for a while.) as I see her keep doing that, until she old and entire.
But I think she became an Amazon queen and helped to run the place, which I can see Gabrielle doing as helping others if she doesn’t go to Egypt.
While could Gabrielle probably at least have one child during her lifespan before her time to go.
RynnB1983@reddit
Well we'll start with Egypt. She went there and had a grand egyptian adventure. After she left and traveled around the med until she came back home to Greece. Once there she honored Xenas wish to be buried with her brother...at least ashes put with him. From there she went home to check on her sister and niece. Then on to the Amazon's to help lead them as queen for a while. Eve would come by and visit her aunt Gabrielle and she would relay what transpired in Japan to her. She'd write her scrolls and then would go off and join Xena in their next life.
anonymousavacado2@reddit
What Finale? They lived happily ever after in Greece.
RulerOfAllWorlds1998@reddit
She goes to Egypt and meets Bast who flirts with her (and shes hot) making Xena have the best reactions, at one point Xena wanted to grab Bast by the ear
She takes care of Xena’s ashes, puts them where they need to be
Aphrodite throws a girls nights for Gabrielle cuz she’s feeling down and it turns into a wild night, with punching
NoReach1699@reddit
She goes to egypt to solve whatever needs a girl with a chakram
She goes to amphipolis to leave xena's ashes in the tomb with her brother
She goes to the amazons and becomes queen, and is able to grow the tribe again
She finds a new love, and i like to think that is hipatia of alexandria (maybe they met in egypt)
That's my fanon 🤭
Owl_Queen101@reddit
She just roamed around helping ppl, I know there’s like comics but my headcannon is that she just helped ppl out traveling constantly. I’m not a fan of gabby but I think that’s sad
