"For what? What have we accomplished?"

Xena also includes the DVD featurettes and fans videos.

It occurred to me that I'd never actually drawn these two together, so I decided fixing that would be a good way to end Pride Month.

“We knew that the producers were developing a new language for the actors to speak on set. We had a document that was shared with [dialect coach] Marina [Tyndall], the person tasked with generating this language. We would ask her what ‘patisserie’ was in Ghorman, and she would invent it. So, I asked both [graphic designers] Elle [McKee] and Lauren [Dix] to generate fonts: High Ghor and Low Ghor. In our head canon, it was one for the upper class and one for the lower. But we mixed them all in together on the street. The plaza only had High Ghor. So often, we have a planet that has one font or language, when, in reality, it would have several.” — Barry “Baz” Gingell

“We were given a brief to create a font for a planet inspired by art deco, 1920s–’30s northern Italy—classical, rooted in history, and high-end. I was inspired by roman numerals and symbols, and the shapes found in classical fonts such as Times New Roman. I then used these stripped-back shapes from simple Roman numerals to create reimagined classical lettering. Despite being different, they do hint to the shapes of Latin letters we know today.” — Lauren Dix

“Ghorelle is one of two lettering styles created for Ghorman, serving as the more formal of the pair—comparable to our use of capital letters. To reinforce the vision of Ghorman as a refined, well-established city that aligned with the architecture of the set, we looked at lots of European signage and ended up drawing inspiration mostly from classical Roman letterforms. This was such an enjoyable graphic to work on, and I was able to lean on some of the things I learned as a signwriting apprentice, where I was taught the fundamental rules of lettering structure—knowledge that doesn’t often come up in the Star Wars universe!

Xena & Gabrielle

they were so important to me as a baby lesbian :')

“I’ll protect you,” Finn said. Rey would have found those words condescending if they came out of anyone else’s mouth. But Finn’s concern for her was sincere. She smiled and put her hand on his cheek. “Even you can’t do that,” she said.
