“Who’s my little bubba?” 🎂 Meg is the best!

I love this little gremlin so much. Her father died in childbirth and she was on the streets from a young age but did that break her spirit? No! She’s a brilliant, vivacious beacon of joy who still looks out at the stars and dreams of warm, happy families.
Joxer and Meg are my favorite couple behind Xena and Gabrielle. Controversial, I know. Joxer’s unrequited love for Gabby aside, I still find Joxer and Meg so sweet, they really enjoy each other’s company and genuinely care. I was so pleased that they get together to give Meg one of those happy homes with a cozy fire.
Any other Meg stans?

I love how she misspels A-R-S-E.

I fully agree! Those are also traits common in Lucy too. And Renee is very into peace, healing and everything Gabby is. The similarities are WILD! Us Aries are spit fires, man! Lol We're often thought of as selfish, when we are the exact opposite. But our strength and stubbornness makes people think we are self involved. 😉😉

I love Joxer and Meg together. I love the irony of it all. And also they just worked.
Also, I'm convinced that Lucy is actually a little crazy. LOL
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
I love the irony of it all too! Someone that looks just like Xena being Gabrielle’s biggest hater is gold. Warrior Princess Tramp makes me cackle when Meg gaslights Gabby the entire episode
And I also have a pet theory that I 5000% believe Lucy is lowkey crazy hahah I have no proof, just a vibe I get every now and then 😂
Dishslave37@reddit
She's an Aries like me......TRUST ME she's not crazy. Just misunderstood. Lmao
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
I died when I found out she’s an Aries and Renee is an Aquarius. That couldn’t be anymore perfect for them, Xena and Gabby gotta be the same!
But also because my brother’s an Aries so I say this with all the love: Y’all are crazy in a really funny, energetic, mischievous way. Not actually crazy crazy like me, the Scorpio, but y’all are adventurous with a rebellious streak.
Dishslave37@reddit
Ahahahaha MOST of us have ADHD too. So we want whatever want WHEN we want it, and no one can tel us otherwise. Lmaooo We are also VERY determined and get annoyed easily. But we are known to be Warriors and Rams and plow our way through any issue. Hence why it's PERFECT for Lucy/Xena. And Renee being an Aquarius is soooooo Ren/Gabby. A def match made in heaven!!!!! Or the "stars" even! They are everything their sign is!
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
My brother and I have ADHD so that checks out big time! But he handles his much better than I do, he wields his like a weapon, I’m somewhere in outer space half the time lol
Y’all are powerhouses.
And Aquarius is also one of my favorite signs. The dreamer that stands out and has no interest in fitting in. They give their loved ones all the room to be themselves because they cherish individuality and independence. They’re quietly confident, they know their worth without thinking they’re more important than everyone else, they’re one of the first to stand up for others.
Love all of that for Lucy & Renee/Xena & Gabby!
LibertineDeSade@reddit
LOL!!

Haha just realized she says "Gimme anal 'A'! 'A'! Gimme an 'R'! 'R'! Gimme an 'S'! 'S'! Gimme an 'E'! 'E'! What's that spell? Goo poo Ares!"
But that's not Ares... 😂
Otakunappy@reddit
One of the few things I never liked about the show. Xena's doppelgangers.
Latte-Catte@reddit
You might be the only one
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
Why didn’t you like them, too silly? I love them but I’m an MCU fan so I just look at them as all of Xena’s variants. I wish Gabrielle had some too
Otakunappy@reddit
I would have excepted it if they'd found actors that looked like Lucy Lawless enough to pass for her, but not actually be Lucy Lawless. Sure give them the same makeup and hair extensions. Make them look like Xena, not her perfect twins. The princess was okay, sure. Meg? Ruined the entire idea.
Hour_Dog_4781@reddit
It's a shame you didn't like the clones. Yes, the concept of 4 completely unrelated yet identical characters existing in the same universe is unrealistic, but then again, it's Xena. Impossible stunts, ridiculous plot lines, people repeatedly dying and coming back to life, becoming gods... Honestly, this little bit of nonsense gets completely lost in the mess.
I liked the clones because of Lucy's acting. The characters all look the same but you can still always tell which one is which because Lucy changes her stance, facial expressions and mannerisms. Must've been fun to watch her switch between characters on set.
Wise_Airport5655@reddit
That... just reminded me of the three naked Gabrielles, dancing 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ares and Joxer loved this scene..
Xena talking to Joxer, at the end of the episode:
"I knew it was you.."😤
_tailypo@reddit
Have you seen Battlestar Galactica? Minor spoiler, but I just headcanon BSG and Xena as being in the same universe to explain her doppelgängers, because Lucy Lawless >! plays a Cylon !<
Popular-One-7051@reddit
I liked them because they brought out Lucy's comic side
Otakunappy@reddit
Lucy had plenty of comedy outside of her doppelgangers. But I get what you mean.
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
And not unlike Argo, it was good to give Lucy room to run around and stretch her legs outside of the confines of Xena. ~All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy~
Away-Living5278@reddit
I am actually surprised Aries never frequented Meg's place of employment.
Latte-Catte@reddit
I'm surprised Ares haven't found a single Xena-lookalikes in all of Greece!! Is Meg his first introduction?? Godhood is wasted on him.
summer_james2@reddit
Funny story apparently Lucy sang “my little bubba” to her son for fun … and she needed something for this scene and she used this song to her son for this scene. It’s in an interview
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
That’s adorable! I can’t get it out of my head. I’m trying desperately, but the second I let my guard down it’s back and, I’ve got a mouth full of toothpaste dancing in my mirror like “Whoshmywiddlebubba 😬🪥Not again! ” lmao

LOL, just watched kpop demon hunter the other day!!
TicketTop4718@reddit
Yikes, imagine her son watching this scene all grown up 🫤
TerribleBid8416@reddit
I’ve kinda wondered. Do you tell your children what you did as an actress? When do you tell them?
It would really suck to go to a sleepover as a 12 year old boy and they sneak a movie only to discover your mom riding some strange guy in front of all your friends. “Hey John, that’s your mom.”
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
To be fairrrr, I don’t think any of her kids were into watching any of Xena, whip cream bikini or not lol
TicketTop4718@reddit
That's probably true, I wonder how much kids of stars see of their parents work, especially the adult stuff.
Hour_Dog_4781@reddit
I'm sure they look it up later in life. I certainly would if my mom was an actress. Morbid curiosity.
summer_james2@reddit
Imagine being Daisy, her daughter, working on the set of Spartacus 😳 🤣🤣
TicketTop4718@reddit
Did Daisy work on Spartacus? My God the things she must have seen 😵
summer_james2@reddit
According to Lucy she did 😬😬
TicketTop4718@reddit
Keeping it in the family I guess 😐
IceWonderful9666@reddit
Nom nom nom
cuntybunty73@reddit
Aries is thinking WTF 😁
Bill_Machine_4558@reddit
She would be a great helper for Autolycus
Asilbombsquad@reddit
Lucy is so sexy and has such great comedic timing.
Wise_Airport5655@reddit
Ahhh, I love Meg.❤️
I think Meg's story is so painful.😪
I don't think Joxer values Meg as much, since he loves Gabrielle, quite openly.
The part that shows that Meg always wanted to be a mother and later, she had children with Joxer, just shows that at least, they had to have a "happy ending", at least until Joxer was killed by Eve/Lívia.😮💨
I think Meg and Gabrielle are more like Lucy Lawless's playful ways.
Now, I think Renee is more reserved in hers, like Princess Diana and the Priestess
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
Yeah, I’m not a fan of Joxer’s infatuation with Gabrielle after so long, especially after Meg enters the picture. It’s not a good look.
It’s bittersweet, isn’t it, that Joxer and Meg got the happy ending Xena and Gabrielle should’ve had. Eve should’ve been family friends with Virgil and his siblings and instead she killed Joxer 😭 I hate the time jump!
CarolineJohnson@reddit
Honestly I don't ultimately think he was in love with Gabrielle. I think he was in love with how daring she was in joining Xena on adventures (despite her reputation) and actually getting to do some good despite being a non-combatant.
Sure he might have had a crush on her, some unrequited feelings that might have colored some of his actions in regards to her, but I don't ultimately believe he was ever in love with her in that way.
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
You know what I think it was a little bit too? Joxer wanted to be Xena. So he really unfairly tied Gabby up to this fantasy of himself born out of insecurity. If he could just get Gabby as his sidekick fighting with her little stick, and prove himself as a great big warrior, he’d finally gain the respect and admiration his family and nobody except Meg shows him.
He of course loved Gabby as a friend. But he also loved how he felt about himself around Xena and Gabrielle more than he was actually “in love” with Gabrielle, towards the end at least
Wise_Airport5655@reddit
Yes, I agree..
Eve/Lívia was supposed to grow up with Joxer's children, also with Gabrielle's niece.
It would be really cool if they had a big party on the weekends with families together.
As it was on Gabi's birthday, when everyone got together to celebrate.
I wish they had more happy and simple episodes like the "Day in the Life" episode. ❤️
breadmonkey17@reddit
Meg and Joxer are just so cute together. And they made hottie Virgil! And a bunch of little kids. I love their story 💖
Krendall2006@reddit
She's so gorgeous.
Wait, her FATHER died in childbirth?
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
Yeah, he got drunk and fell off the roof when she was being born

Perfect way for Raimi to kiss lucy lawless
Slick bastard

Yes! My people! Isn’t she just the most precious?
DarthYug@reddit
What episodes have Meg?
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
S2E6 Warrior Princess Tramp
S3E9 Warrior Priestess Tramp
S4E10 The Key to the Kingdom (my personal fave!)
S5E20 Livia

Thank You!

Ares was enjoying it a bit too much.

He thought it was his bride-to-be until Joxer burst that bubble lol

I picked the wrong day to give up whipped cream.

I just bought some today as a matter of fact
TypesAndPatterns@reddit
Yes, they were well-suited. Joxer’s not a guy to appreciate what he has, or express it that way, but he actually was quite lucky in love.
SakuraTacos@reddit (OP)
Exactly, I think they were very compatible! What everyone else finds annoying and pathetic about Joxer, Meg has been into since day one. And Joxer sees Meg for who she is, too. When Autolycus was quick to sexualize and belittle Meg, Joxer saw a woman with a rough past that needed a friend. 🥹
