Tess: What’s your blood type?

Keira: How would I know?

Ashelin: How would you not?

Keira: Who am I, Karl Landsteiner, discoverer of blood groups?

Ashelin: You don’t know your own blood type. But, you know who discovered them?

Ohhh with the way you write Jak and Daxter, does that effect Daxter's relationship with Tess? I could see her taking on an overall more mentor roll for them and maybe also taking Kiera under her wing...

When it comes to Dax and Tess, (don't get me wrong I DO like them), but their relationship feels alot more surface level to me, they haven't really spoken alot in the time they've known each other and alot of it has been over the top flirting with not alot of actual chemistry. Dax doesn't seem like much of a guy to get committed and honestly to me it feels like after the events of 3 they'd just slowly stop dating after realising they really don't know a ton about the other. It's part of the reason I do prefer him and Jak over him and Tess, but also childhood friends to lovers is forever a win. (I've also drawn poly art of the three!)

Ignoring her Ottsel-ing (because while I don't hate it necessarily I do think it's a poor narrative choice and I don't think her autonomy there is taken into account at All by the writers or the story) I think she could be rlly good with showing Keira a bit more about mechanics, I think it's a real shame that she's just gone in X despite being good with machinery? Like if she's around Torn's age group- (I'm also gonna Ignore the potentially odd age gap between her and Dax) she'd have alot more experience under her belt and I think both Keira and the Boys could learn from her :]

I have a few more indepth thoughts on daxtess but ☝

Have you done tess or keira for the ask meme?

TESS

🎟️ SEXUALITY HEADCANON: Tess is a big bisexual babe

⚧️ GENDER HEADCANON: Cis woman, nothing else to it for her

💕 A SHIP: I really love that Tess and Dax are canonically a thing, even if I don't precisely like the "girlfriend as reward" thing at the end.

🖇️ A BROTP: I mentioned how much I like Torn+Tess over on his post, but for Tess I really like her and Keira hitting it off; they're both engineers that are routinely underestimated because they're teenage girls, they have so much in common. Likewise, the differences between them would be a great way for them to bond, since Tess is so much harder than Keira, and could help her figure out how to survive the rougher sides Haven on her own.

🚫 A NOTP: Torn/Tess is a no-go for me! (No shade to anyone who ships it, it's just not my vibe.)

💭 A RANDOM HEADCANON: Tess is Jinx's niece; her parents passed when she was 10-11, and it was Jinx that took her in for the next few years, getting her into weapons development and taking her with him on pretty much every job he ran, no matter how dangerous. This is how she wound up falling in with Torn—who may be Jinx's third cousin on his mother's side, although Jinx may also be lying about this, it's very unclear—just a few months after the collapse of the holy district. Torn was still very much in recovery at this point, and Jinx had to run a job that he couldn't bring Tess on due to limited space, so he asked Torn if he'd be okay having Tess stay with him for a day. Torn was like "...why the hell do you have a teenage girl?" and the rest is history. Tess has been working with Torn ever since! (This is also why Krew hired her to work the bar so readily, since he's the one that hires Jinx most often and thus had some experience with Tess already, leading him to consider her trustworthy but naive.)

🗣️GENERAL OPINION: I love Tess! I appreciate that she's not just fanservice, because she could have been quite easily—instead she's a valuable member of the Underground, working intelligence and espionage, and later she works in weapons development for the Freedom League. Nobody questions that she can do any of these things, she's openly relied on by Torn and Jak, while the affection between her and Daxter is sincere and genuine. She's a sweetheart with sharp parts, and I adore that about her.

(For the character ask game.)

Jak and Daxter High School AU 😳😳😳

[incorrectjakanddaxter]

Torn: Tess is out of the will.

Tess: That’s honestly fair. I deserve that.

Sig: Wait, you have a will? You’ve hardly even sprouted, Cherry.

Torn: I’ve done things in my life. Upset the wrong people. Ash, you have a will too, right?

Ashelin: Lots, good luck figuring out which one’s real.

[incorrectjakanddaxter]

Sig: I know over two hundred ways to kill a man. Tess: you could glue an open jar of rats to their face, then blow torch the other side of the jar so the rats have to eat their way out through the other side of their face. Sig: ... Sig: Two hundred and one...
