Sentient weapon lover?

So him taking the mask off and not be like this.

Yeah, he actually looks better because it's new fresh skin.

You are speaking to a big part of me.

The idea of having a relationship forged in the heat of battle and having that unbreakable battleworn bond is already something that gets me going.

But the amount of trust that quite literally puts your life in someone else's hands speaks to me a complete romantic.

Yes absolutely, have a magic sword girl friend that is about as smooth and suave in relationship as an artillery strike during a stealth mission.

Strong and powerful women contrasted able to show their more soft, and feminine tones is always a plus.

Pros: They know you too well

Cons: They Know you TOO well

Sentient sword, don't tell them my browser history.

To be honest, this is not where I thought this conversation was going but consider this. The sword is sentient but has the soul of a Fae who believes in Fae supremacy and thus, is toxic but warms up to the MC while the mask has an overly attached love goblin personality that tries to defend the MC at almost every turn in ways that usually cause him more trouble. Both the mask and sword bicker with each other like an overly dramatic old lesbian couple. Sword will also make tons of swordplay and fencing puns constantly while the mask is just, really hungry and keeps eating more of his regenerative face.

mask merging with face D:

I imagine a girl and her beau. I mean bow.
The archer's grip on a bow is a lot more intimate than a sword grip - more of a full-body experience. You have to work with a bow: set, draw, aim, hold, release. And then once more. Arrows are... a metaphor? Yeah.
Maybe there could be inspiration in the Japanese sport of archery, too. They make it seem spiritual and meditative in mangas.
Does the idea make you quiver with excitement?

Bitches be cray cray. Do you really want a WEAPON to thinking of you as a lover?

In the middle of a fight: I noticed you left me in the scabbard back in your room last night.
WHAT? WE NEED TO KILL THIS DEMON!
You said it was to watch the equipment, but I know you went to the whore house!

Demon rubs the back of his neck," Ahhhh look. This is getting kinda awkward. I'm just gonna go wait on the plane of resplendent agony. Let me know when yer done."

Well one of the cons for sentient weapon would be they would never be seen as a full person by the majority. After all they were created as a tool meant to be used, not to mention that they usually don't have their own physical agency. In my mind that might develop as resentment of a kind over time. There are many stories about cursed sentient items that are hazardous to their wielders. This in turn might give sentient weapons a bad reputation overall as people might fear kind of rebellion at least, or a complete mental takeover at worst. A person with a sentient weapon can be seen to be "influenced" and never fully trusted depending on the world's history, and relationship with these kinds of things.

It may be a useful power to be sure, but nobody likes to entertain the possibility of your tools turning against you. That's why they're many horror movies with this exact premise. For the majority, this might take the form of further mistreatment of such tools in order to exert a feeling of control out of a primal fear, which would perpetuate a cycle of abuse. Honestly for a perfect sentient item with its own will, I don't see it being treated well except by an extreme minority, not realistically anyway. Humans are terrible creatures who mostly like to exert our will over others.
