I love how Tara looks at Willow in the second to last gif. It’s like she’s saying “Look how supportive our girl that we raised is for 3 months is of us. We did good.”

That’s precisely it! That’s what makes Xena and Gabrielle so real in a fantasy world. They’re all about what it takes to work at love so sometimes their relationship isn’t healthy, but it’s the transparency in their communication that is what transcends your normal definition of “true love”. They come to understand themselves better through each other. They’re crazy for each other but not in a romantic, all-encompassing, the-skies-will-fall-down-if-I’m-not-with-you-way. They can spend time apart and feel just as fulfilled in their lives so long as they have one another to return to. It’s like they belong to each other without owning or possessing each other. They’re a beautiful representation of true love in its purest form. And they’re the reference I had of it was I was young. No Prince and Princess happily-ever-after shit. WORK. They would overcome every obstacle in their way, solve every problem just by being with each other. Communicating, respecting, and understanding. They were honest and self-effacing. And they were real.
Truly one soul in two bodies. They were a romance, but that was never the most important thing for them.
