Cleopatra 2525
Jul. 24th, 2025 12:55 amI started watching it for background stimulation but I actually really like it so far! So now I need to actually make time for it, lol. This keeps happening with many shows I thought would be quick easy watches, oops.
This feels very catnippy to me as someone who goes feral for cancelled low-budget sci-fi shows from a couple decades ago, AND IT HAS SO MANY GIRLS! Many of whom are from the ~Aus/Aotearoa 90s Speculative Fiction Cinematic Universe~ given all the overlap between it and Xena in particular with cast and crew. That's Amarice! And Cyan! And... other Cleopatra!
I can tell it's going to be something I latch onto and get a lot of fic ideas for, but have to proceed knowing there's not really a fandom anymore. I've been kinda spoiled hanging out in more active, modern fandoms lately! I've forgotten my lonely yet fulfilling roots of getting half a pity kudo from a friend and nothing else jalksdkjdf.
Anywayyyy, anyone else ever watch it? I'd love to hear about people's fave characters/ships/fansites/similar recs/etc if so!
