Swordtember Day 29+30: SINGULARITY + ETERNITY (Patreon)

And with that, the beast that is Swordtember is defeated for another year. I hope you like this finale - it’s a bit weird but I had a bunch of fun making it :} hope you’ve enjoyed this month, this challenge I really can only do because of you, reading this now. It gives me a chance to explore art, experiment without fear, grow my skill and make stuff I’m proud of, and that I hope you are proud of too. Thank you for this opportunity - I have so much more I want to say but I am completely exhausted and going to bed now and gonna sleep for the next 6 months. Thank you, truly, and happy swordtember ⚔️❤️

Everblade, neither here nor there 🗡️♾️

You draw the blade from its sheath, your own reflection stares back at you from the polished metal. You draw the blade from its sheathe and it looks back at you. The blade draws you from the sheath you look at it. You draw a conclusion about the blade, vis a vis the sheathe, but look past it. You sheathe the blade, no longer looking at it. You dream the blade and its sheathe, you are its creator, and sole comfort. You forget the blade, then, suddenly, remember to draw it from its sheathe. You look at the blade and blush, does the blade like you in that way? You'd never have guessed... You mourn the blade, drawn, lived a happy life, and passed away in its sheathe. A wild blade attacks, fresh from its sheathe! This just in - reports are telling that you have draw the blade from its sheathe - do you have any comments on this matter? So apparently, and idk if this is true, but apparently you drew the blade from its sheathe? You must have drawn the blade, it’s in your hand, the blood is flecked on your face. Without the blade, truly, what are you? Are you only the blade? Your legacy honed and sharp, your memory forged in steel. You draw the blade. You draw the blade. You draw the blade. You draw the blade. You draw the blade. You draw the blade.
