this one's for you, @ampleappleamble

#i forgot to post this when it happened but it's probably one of the funniest exchanges #just for vatnir's helpless response #the unspoken ''is he for real'' was definitely present 😂 #court vs poe: deadfire #tekehu #vatnir

[frankensteined]

holds and cherishes this exchange for forever

#lore wise it's fascinating!!! #but also i am grateful to the game for giving my ot3 Content #court vs poe: deadfire #ship: out of rice wine #rekke #tekehu #and alva's there too for one line lmao

[frankensteined]

i'm taking this exchange and running off with it over the hills of shipping headcanon, bye

#teamphysicalaffection

#''BELOVED'' THO.............i'm Soft 🥺🥺 #i picture this happening like: serafen pats her on the back first and before xoti can step in tekēhu and rekke rush in at once #and tekēhu is checking her over as rekke squeezes her shoulder :') ♡ #i didn't get rekke's line at this part last playthrough! glad i got it this time around! #court vs poe: deadfire #alva au: poe #serafen #tekehu #rekke #ship: a merry chase #ship: i will show you fun

woah woah woah okay waitjustasecond here....

so, i was clearly not paying attention the first time i went to the scriptorium after finishing both side of the forgotten sanctum, because i don't remember this happening to the party at all, but i got this from rekke, and it took me a minute to make sense of it. what was he talking about? is he talking about himself? but remembering his past differently? was there another person that we fished out of the sea that just never got mentioned?

super weird! but oh well! time to- oh, shit i forgot to grab heldr's horn down in the assembly of echoes (bc i had to reload my pre-memory hoarder defeat file when i realized that i'd forgotten to give bekarna her memories back at first, oops!)! i'll just reload my file down there rather than run all the way back!

okay! reloaded and ready to go! let's just-

...tekēhu!! no!!!! 😭😭

OKAY so now that i have finally figured out that the party's memories are! in fact! scrambled!!! time to reload over and over to see what the others say...

serafen:

ahem indeed what are you remembering here, serafen?

and xoti's:

ouch 😢

anyways, since i clearly missed this back during veera's playthrough, does anyone know what edér, aloth, and fassina struggle to remember? (or a non-romanced tekēhu? does aloth have a different line depending on whether he's romanced or not?) thank you for the info, @ampleappleamble! ♡

#i swear i normally pay attention during this game lmao #court vs poe: deadfire #rekke #tekehu #xoti #serafen #ship: a merry chase

[frankensteined]

they're basically on the same page 😌

#i'm sad that serafen doesn't appear to have a response to this part #i imagine he'd have something colourful to say normally #or one of those rare darkly serious moments #court vs poe: deadfire #rekke #tekehu

[frankensteined]

rekke being cute @ alva 🥺

#i KNOW he isn't a romance option but listen: he's getting romanced idc #court vs poe: deadfire #alva au: poe #rekke #ship: i will show you fun

[frankensteined]

rekke's "for you? yes!" line when you direct him somewhere is entirely too precious

#court vs poe: deadfire #rekke #i love this lad and his semi canon ot3 relationship i've got him in

[frankensteined]

oh NOOOOO rekke i am so sorry sweetie 😂😂

#sdfghjk HE NEVER COMMENTED ON VEERA'S ROMANCE WITH ALOTH #there is a lot to unpack here #when i started this playthrough i thought i would have to do most of the legwork to make this ot3 feasible #but nope #game does it for me! incredible!! #court vs poe: deadfire #alva au: poe #rekke #ship: a merry chase #ship: i will show you fun #ship: out of rice wine

[frankensteined]

this is so petty and exemplifies the gods perfectly 🥲

#court vs poe: deadfire

[frankensteined]

words of wisdom from tekēhu

#FINALLY getting this romance rolling #and right off the bat he's like ''so. poly?'' #get over here rekke this ot3 is happening even if the game doesn't know it #court vs poe: deadfire #tekehu

[frankensteined]

xoti: hey watcher i had a dream about you last night!

alva: was it a normal dream?

xoti:

oh okay then, xoti

#like. i know it's not a sexy thing. #but c'moooon #we could have just elaborated on the dream a BIT MORE I THINK #court vs poe: deadfire #alva au: poe #xoti

[frankensteined]

🥺💓🥺💓🥺💓

#GOSH WHEN I SAY MY HEART EXPLODED.. #that's love right there #i need to start poe2 over again #beeline it to recruit him asap #and then never remove him from my party #goals for my xotimance file #rekke #court vs poe: deadfire

[frankensteined]

yet another pillars romance that begins with hand holding

#HOW IS THIS A RECURRING THING I LOVE IT #court vs poe: deadfire #alva au: poe #tekehu #i didn't have tekēhu when i went here last time so i'm seeing his reactions here for the first time #ship: a merry chase

[frankensteined]

the timing in this game is genuinely hilarious at times, because things went from:

to the second romance dialogue triggering immediately afterwards:

which creates this image of tekēhu just losing all his chill the second that alva turns around, frantically trying to keep talking to her about this stuff, even though he literally just said he wanted to exercise patience and draw this connection out long enough to make it a chase 🤭

that said, it isn't like alva is helping matters:

#i literally had to take him out of my party for a bit bc he kept trying to initiate this stuff in the PALACE #in front of the PRINCE #which was just not happening sorry tekēhu #but anyways yeah having him at full approval for so long must've been like that kate beaton 'consumed with lust' comic panel #court vs poe: deadfire #alva au: poe #tekehu #ship: a merry chase

[frankensteined]

he! is! the! best!
