I see that people view it as a sexual innuendo thing, but I have never viewed it as such. I’ve always viewed it as, “Shaxx doesnt care about your authority, and wont take his helmet off, even for the Queen.” I still cant even understand it as a sexual innuendo, I just cant wrap my head around it being as such... sorry but can someone explain why it is regarded as one?

I think it's incredibly naive of you to assume Mara wished Shaxx to her side simply to read to her.
I’m not gay but if Lord Shaxx showed up next to me...
...I’m not responsible for my actions.
As long as the helmet stays on.
Would it truly be Shaxx if the helmet didn’t stay on?
I think it's incredibly naive of you to think a god being is liable to make a booty call when bored instead of having a high ranking war lord deign to read for her.
high ranking war lord
Fellow God.
God of grenades
Basically, it's read as Mara gave Shaxx a booty call, and while they were Tangoing, Shaxx kept his helmet on
I can't believe what i'm seeing!
#YEEEEEES
This is amazing!
They She didn't expect that!
Mara definitely got clapped
And if I remember lore tab during this year's crimson days (think from the vow I don't remember) described shaxx getting a bow for a "special someone" who was described to be like a warrior and queen
You can’t talk about the Vow lore without mentioning how shaxx married the whole crucible
Mara is the side hoe in the relationship
Shaxx loves us forever
False. He tells every guardian that they’re his favourite guardian. But has he ever banged any of us? I rest my case.
Love doesn't always mean banging dawg
In my head it’s the same reason my guardian always has his helmet on; he’s ugly as sin 😂
Pls Bungie, let me fix my emo Awoken warlock 😩
Restart the character it’s easy as fuck
Yeah and just throw away everything I’ve done with him since the D1 beta, all because he’s ugly. I’ll keep his helmet on, thanks.
Mate you can just put all your gear in the vault and then remake him. You won’t lose any gear and your collection won’t be affected either.
Then you can grind back to level 50 / 750 power all over again, safe in the knowledge your guardian no longer looks wank.
.. keep the helmet on tbh
still have to grind to 50 + do all quests that unlock areas . forsaken, Osiris, warmind. ...forges...etc
Mara booty called shaxx.
Shaxx read her the Tempest from memory.
They stayed together the entire night.
His helmet stayed on.
But isnt there something when you recite shakespeare you keep a helmet on?
It’s a way of saying that no oral was involved.
some may have been received though. just saying.

Shaxx would've been the receiver.
Well we know Shaxx is extremely self conscious about his looks
This is the internet. Everything becomes innuendo at some point.
It means that Shaxx kept his helmet on when he banged Mara Sov.
Bless your heart
It's not an innuendo. It's a literal reference to shaxx and mara having sex
Well. It's because Shaxx is an Ahamkara. Every wall in the temples of Dreaming City are covered with Amethyst. And like Shuro Chi said: Amethyst uncovers real identity of an Ahamkara.
p.s. sorry for my english
Forced meme by the main reddit implying Shaxx stripped nude except for his helmet instead of, y'know, just the helmet staying on. In addition to everything.
People think Mara and Shaxx had a one night stand, because of the lore on mark of the great hunt, despite that a significant part of her backstory is having a lesbian affair with Sjur Eido (and implications of the same with Petra Venj)
she had a fully committed relationship with Sjur, not an affair
Petra, no. Sjur, yes. Mara probably is into both men and women.
#BI GANG
This one night stand occurred right before the Awoken launched their assault on the Dreadnaught, so it was long after Sjur was killed/taken/whatever it is you believe happened to her.
When is anything implied with Petra lmao?
Vouchsafe flavor text, her dreams with Mara in the garden (parallel to Uldren and Joylon) are what I can remember from the top of my head
This is Vouchsafe's flavor text:
"We knew it would not be easy." —Paladin Hallam Fen
How does that imply anything? And Sjur had dreams with Mara in the garden, not Petra.
If you read the whole thing you'll notice Fen thinks Petra may have been promoted to Queen's Wrath 'for the wrong reasons'. Petra mentions dreaming of Mara in the garden when the city cycle changes, although I am not sure which week.
Edit: Petra's line dreaming of Mara was actually an idle line from destiny 1 "I had a dream last night. I was hunting with the Queen on great white horses in a field of black flowers, and then... well... it was a good omen."
Guardians/Awoken have needs to bro
people are horny unfortunately
Nah son, mara got them cheeks clapped to shakespeare
These are the comments I sub for
Eh, innuendo is fun.
“The helmet stayed on” implies it was his only article of clothing that did, if it helps.
Giggity
Oh I never thought of it like that I always thought of it like he never took his helmet off to give her a kiss but now I get it
Could also be a condom reference.
Would you use a condom with Mara tho?

I wonder if magical space women can even get pregnant by a human. I've never seen a half-Awoken. I actually have no idea how the Awoken reproduce, or if they even do. Are they just immortal and the only ones that exist came from the Yang Liwei?
But also my answer is no.
Revanche V :
"The Awoken came unto these Humans like nephilim, armed with lost weapons, forgotten industry and medicine. They were like omens of hope, for they were often taken to be starborn colonists returned to the hearth, which was not, after all, so far from truth. All who looked on them saw that the night sky contained more than lurking doom. They bred true with each other and sometimes hybridized with Humans, and in the course of centuries, many forgot the Distributary and even the Reef."
I might. I'm not exactly ready to be a father.
