"" (Watch on YouTube)

mississippienne: they have slaves to blink for them!!!
remix17: he also has silky smooth skin
remix17: like a baby
mississippienne: yesssss
mississippienne: and hes like 8 feet tall
remix17: he's all "bask in my glow"
mississippienne: the real xerxes really was loony tunes
mississippienne: herodotus, the ancient greek historian, tells of an incident where one of xerxes' bridges was destroyed in a storm
mississippienne: so xerxes had the ocean lashed to punish it

remix17: xerxes is so zemo
mississippienne: he is!
mississippienne: thats why i love him
mississippienne: hes totally my type
mississippienne: of, uh, fictional character
mississippienne: also, check out how when xerxes goes in for the vaguely gay shoulder rub, leonidas just stands there, as though waiting for a massage
mississippienne: *giggles*
remix17: "mmmm fighting is so tiring..."
remix17: omg he does
remix17: he was all expecting it
mississippienne: "xerxes' jewelry... so sparkly... hypnotized..."

Never seen the movie (yeahyeahyeah, I know, abomination!) but this scene? PIMP! I was expecting Xerxes to go 'I shall be the king and you shall be my queen.' That whole kneeling dialogue? Oh, please, we all know what they were REALLY talking about.

The way Xerxes wanted Leonidas was sick. Xerxes was totally naming their future children already. He even gives Leonidas one last chance to "kneel" during the final battle. There's also cute scene where two Spartan warriors flirt while stacking dead Persians. Only in 300 could this be considered romantic.

...oh great. Now I want to see some really hot Xerxes/Leonidas slash...

Only in 300 could this be considered romantic.

And in The Authority. Come on, how many times were Mindy and Apollo flirting with each other while kicking heads off? A lot, that's for sure.
