what if xena was immortal and lived to the present day

I think she'd live off grid, her home that is but she'd travel as a stunt woman fixing the world bit by bit, living unnoticed. I think she'd be attracted to people with potential greatness, I don't think it would be about gender but about who the person truely was, and in some way help them to bring out the best in them but shed always hold a special place for Gabrielle. She might even look after hers and Gabby's descendants, especially the ones that remind her of them. Just for a bit of nostalgia.

There's a whole Immortal Xena fanfiction series by Redhawk and others on Ausxip

Since most of her life would have been spent on the land I assume she'd prefer to live in remote areas and in nature. Her good deeds would be done in smaller communities to avoid calling attention to herself. She'd be fascinated by technology but wouldn't interact with it as much as most of us do. I assume she'd have a partner.

So she'd be Ron Swanson

As someone binge watching both Parks and Rec and Xena at the same time, I love this. Extra funny since Lucy Lawless played Ron's partner.

Is it your first time watching Parks? That show is like the Avengers of TV stars. It was pretty surreal (and honestly still kind of is) watching Lucy interact with Nick Offerman, Megan Mullally, Amy Poehler, Rashida Jones, etc.

Freaking love that show

Yes, it is! I've seen bits and pieces on YouTube, but this is going to be my first time watching it straight through. I purchased the box set. I've watched the first episode of Parks and Rec, and I'm in season 5 of Xena! Yeah, that would be surreal. I'm excited for it! I think after the Xena finale it'll give me a breath of fresh air.

That’s awesome, I’m so jealous you get to enjoy both of these shows for the first time. You’re gonna have so much fun with Parks! The first season is a bit slow but from Season 2 and on the show absolutely blossoms

Thank you! I'm super excited and have been enjoying the ride. I think Ron Swanson is going to be my favorite character because most of favorite bits I've seen have him in it, and I really enjoyed Nick's episode of The Last of Us. That character was similar to Ron in a way, too. April is awesome, too! I loved Aubrey's job in Agatha All Along and Happiest Season. I trust it'll be a good show since Amy had a hand in Broad City, one of my favorite shows of all time.

Nick Offerman is the best! I used to be part of Megan Mullally forums back in the early 00s before Nick had his big break and he would go to all of her concerts and he was so proud of her and so so kind to her fans, chatting with them all night and holding the camera if they wanted pictures with Megan. And now he’s iconic in his own right and an Emmy winning actor. It’s insanely cool, he deserves all the love!

Agatha All Along and Broad City are two of my all time favorites also! You’ve got fantastic taste if I do say so myself lol

Thanks! I'm a lesbian, so if there's wlw content, I'm sat. They are great shows!

thanks for your reply and what kind of partner would an immortal Xena have?

[-]

invisiblebyday@reddit

Tough one because she'd be doomed to outlive her partner no matter how beloved unless they themselves were immortal. I also assume that over thousands of years her partners would come in all shapes, sizes, genders and personalities.

I wonder if she would find the person Gabrielles' soul would transfer to. Maybe she would travel around just seeking her, or they would somehow find each other. Sounds pretty glum knowing she would have to experience the heartbreak of loosing her multiple times, but in the end I think Xena would think it'd be worth being with her.

She would definitely travel the world searching for Gabrielle.

There's an episode with them in the future, really funny: Send in the clones 6x16 I believe Xena and Gabrielle would be great Bail bondspeople.

[-]

Persistent_Parkie@reddit

I would hate a standard reboot but I would genuinely love a series staring Lucy and Renee as the clones living their best lives today. Show how they march for gay rights, bring violent criminals to justice etc.

[-]

amyc7@reddit

I used to see some mock messages between them on Twitter that were hilarious.

[-]

Evilbuffy14@reddit

Bail bondsmen? How very specific. Like Dog? I love it.

I was about to say: But she DID!

Personally I always wished Xena would of eaten the golden apple that Callisto ate to become immortal she be like Hercules cause we know because of him being half God he lives for five thousand years pretending to be Kevin sorbo who played Hercules so it would of been interesting can you imagine how many boyfriends and girlfriends she could of had during those five thousand years I mean how many girls friends and wives did Hercules have over the five thousand years so I always wished Xena would of been the one to eat the golden apple of Hera's tree instead of Callisto of course I also wish Callisto would of just stayed as immortal instead of upgrading to goddesshood she would of been a more interesting character as the immortal Callisto instead of the goddess Callisto

Her clone is alive and well with Gabrielle….

[-]

Evilbuffy14@reddit

Hmm. Don't ask if she'd have another girlfriend, that's blasphemous. Lol. I think she'd be incredibly disappointed in the world, just like the rest of us. Not sure what she'd be doing today, but I think if you've been alive for two thousand years straight, you'd have tried everything by now.

AnihcAvalon22@reddit

There's literally an episode about that lol

Jahon_Dony@reddit

^ this!

Jahon_Dony@reddit

Can't even follow this line of thinking from what if xena was immortal, how would she react to the modern world, to would she date an mma fighter? Lol, it started so serious with societal implications and then ended on what sounds like a joke. Anyway, we have episodes that address Xena in the modern day, so best to use those as a basis.

She would be jailed in maximum security. There is so much evil, and the evil is legal. I was legit just thinking about this. She would be unlikely to meet someone of her standards in modern prisons, but not impossible.
