  • Subtext. It's what's between the words. Or underneath. In other words, it is what is implied, but not outright pointed out. Nonexistent subtext is often used for shipping purposes and fanon.
  • The term Subtext, as far as the Xenaverse is concerned, refers to the many subtextual elements present in episodes of Xena: Warrior Princess that allude to a possible romantic or sexual relationship between Xena and Gabrielle. It is used mostly by fans and occasionally in academic or journalistic discussions. Most episodes that contributed to the birth of the subtext can be found in the show's first two seasons – after that, episodes that contributed to it were mostly doing so intentionally.

Most episodes that contributed to the birth of the subtext can be found in the show's first two seasons – after that, episodes that contributed to it were mostly doing so intentionally. It should be noted that neither Lucy Lawless nor Renee O'Connor gave the subtext much credence during the show's run, even while filming episodes that seem to confirm it. When a director tried to motivate Lucy's performance on the set of "Paradise Found" by declaring that Gabrielle was "in another man's arms", she burst out laughing, as she didn't see their relationship that way. Both Lawless and O'Connor have since stated that when watching the show as casual viewers, they can see why people thought they were lovers, although Lucy maintains that she only came to that conclusion when specifically viewing the kiss in the series finale. In spite of their denial, Lawless and O'Connor both willingly embraced their characters' status as lesbian icons. Lucy has gladly appeared and even performed at major LGBT pride events since XWP's early days.
