#super fun and it had incredible shaxx lines

[thefirstknife]

This might be a silly question, but I am curious so I’ll ask it anyways.

I ship my Guardian with Lord Shaxx (no surprise there!) and I went to play Crucible but I was not vibing with the options so I chose to do Iron Banner for the first time (I did pretty well!) and was wondering…

Would Lord Shaxx get jealous of his partner not participating in/actively avoiding Crucible for a week to do Iron Banner?

I know he and Saladin recently reconciled about what happened at Twilight Gap, but I’m curious and can’t seem to make a conscious decision. I keep going back and forth. A jealous Shaxx sounds cute, but is it accurate?

You’re my go to for lore and Destiny vibes. Figured I’d toss this question out there and see where it lands.

Thank you :)

I don't think he would get jealous, mainly because Lord Shaxx is our polyamorous king!

There was a quest back in year 2 for the Crimson Days event which is an equivalent of Valentine's day. The reward for the quest was a bow called The Vow. In the lore on it, Shaxx proclaims that he will marry everyone who earns it:

"Today," he says. "I will marry them all." Hours later, after Arcite has finished tying off the bouquets and gathering the doves from the mountains beyond the City, Shaxx addresses the courtyard. "Guardians," he booms. "These Crimson Days are a time to renew our bonds to one another. We gather together. We remember what we owe each other. We declare our love." He holds up a bow for the crowd to see. "Bring your fiery passion to the Crucible. Prove your devotion to your Bond." He pauses. "To those of you who win this bow… I offer my hand in marriage! Take it or leave it!"

He's totally fine and chill with multiple partners and I think he wouldn't be jealous if some of them had other partners or did something else that isnt with him.

Even more so, I think Shaxx is totally fine with people taking time to do Iron Banner, as long as they're working to better themselves and become stronger. That's his whole thing with the Crucible, he wants to train Guardians to become better. I think that becoming better through some other tournament would be good enough for him.

And especially not that he's finally reconciled with Saladin. Fun fact about Shaxx and Saladin, there was a line in Crimson Days where Shaxx says Saladin used to be his partner:

He also had a line for Efrideet:
