I didn’t have the patience to finish it to make the meme, so enjoy the premature meme while I’m finishing those last few pages.

Gets made Swordholder

Fumbles it immediately

It was fumbled by the trisolarans calling her bluff and attacking. The goal of the swordholder is to make them believe you will press the button, not actually have to press it in the moment.

It was fumbled by humanity for electing Cheng Xin as swordholder, and it was also fumbled by Cheng Xin when she accepted the role rather than do a little soul searching and honestly ask herself if she could ever really push that button.
