Enjoy it, as not much happiness in this ep...
This is here because he’s so gorgeous, he takes my breath away…
I know I posted this already, but they are so perfect and so doomed, I can't help it. Now that Asher asked for Naevia for himself, it is the end.
I think I wanted to throw up here. But then Naevia was the only “good” character who escaped being forced into sex, and I suppose it wasn’t going to stay that way. Umm, as of now, the list of characters who were forced to have sex against their will is: Spartacus, Sura, Mira, Crixus, Naevia, Aurelia, Melitta, Pietros, Gannicus, Varro, Diona. And that’s going only with characters who have names. That’s pretty much the entire cast of characters who are not bad guys. Yikes. OK, I guess Oenomaus remains the sole hold out.
I love his determination and I love even more how clearly he sees the fake glory for what it is - when he tells Crixus there is no glory, just blood, I wanted to cheer. Only it was the middle of the night, so no cheering. God, he is amazing. And the fact that his love for his wife fuels him to take on Rome - no words. No words. (Yes, he fights for righteousness too, but it’s his love for his wife that starts him).
Ummm, Crixus just found out that Naevia has been given to someone else and Lucretia still wants some fun rapey times. And I am still sitting here chewing my fingernails and going “please don’t get worse, please don’t get worse.” Because that's the one constant with this show - things always get worse.
He kills me. He utterly kills me. The way he shelves his revenge, the way he kneels to Glaber, the man who ruined his life and his wife’s life, (and after taking out all those legionnaires unarmed, like the BAMF he is). All for Aurelia, because she is Varro’s wife and he promised Varro. Oh my God. My crush is unhealthy but he is beyond amazing.
Ashur paws Naevia in front of Crixus to get a reaction and their relationship is out and OMFG. Ohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgodohgod…I think my hair has gone grey by now. But I am almost relieved it’s out because now I don’t have to anticipate it. Ashur is so evil it’s almost an art form, I must admit.
I know I keep saying it, but oh my holy God oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh. I am curled up in a ball whimpering and this is typed by my ghost. Especially when he cries when she holds him!!!! God. Also, he promises to win his freedom and find her - yeah, that worked out so well for Spartacus. Or Barca. Here is a better idea, Crixus - how about you kill a whole ton of Romans and then find Naevia that way? Maybe you can bond and work out your trauma by killing Romans together? Or she can be your Roman-killing muse? I am not picky.
Rebellion is coming. Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
