Hey! Are there blacksmiths in your story? I'm a hobbyist blacksmith and I'm here to help!

Blacksmithing is one of those things that a lot of people get wrong because they don't realize it stuck around past the advent of the assembly line. Here's a list of some common misconceptions I see and what to do instead!

Not all blacksmiths are gigantic terrifying muscly guys with beards and deep voices. I am 5'8, skinny as a twig, have the muscle mass of wet bread, and exist on Tumblr. Anybody who is strong enough to pick up a hammer and understands fire safety can be a blacksmith.

You can make more than just swords with blacksmithing. Though swords are undeniably practical, they're not the only things that can be made. I've made candle holders, wall hooks, kebab skewers, fire pokers, and more. Look up things other people have made, it's really amazing what can be done.

"Red-hot" is actually not that hot by blacksmith terms. when heated up, the metal goes from black, to red, to orange, to yellow, to white. (for temperature reference, I got a second degree burn from picking up a piece of metal on black heat) The ideal color to work with the metal is yellow. White is not ideal at all, because the metal starts sparking and gets all weird and lumpy when it cools. (At no point in this process does the metal get even close to melting. It gets soft enough to work with, but I have never once seen metal become a liquid.)

Blacksmithing takes fucking forever. Not even taking into account starting the forge, selecting and preparing metal, etc. etc. it takes me around an hour to make one (1) fancy skewer. The metals blacksmiths work with heat up and cool down incredibly fast. When the forge is going good, it only takes like 20 seconds to get your metal hot enough to work with, but it takes about the same time for it to cool down, sometimes even less.

As long as you are careful, it is actually stupidly easy to not get hurt while blacksmithing. When I picked up this hobby I was like "okay, cool! I'm gonna make stuff, and I'm gonna end up in the hospital at some point!" Thus far, the latter has yet to occur. I've been doing this for nearly a year. I have earned myself a new scar from the aforementioned second degree burn, and one singe mark on my jeans. I don't even wear gloves half the time. Literally just eye protection, common sense, and fast reflexes and you'll probably be fine. (Accidents still happen of course, but I have found adequate safety weirdly easy to achieve with this hobby)

A forge is not a fire. The forge is the thing blacksmiths put their metal in to heat it up. It starts as a small fire, usually with newspaper or something else that's relatively small and burns easily, which we then put in the forge itself, which is sort of a fireplace-esque thing (there's a lot of different types of forge, look into it and try to figure out what sort of forge would make the most sense for the context you're writing about) and we cover it with coal, which then catches fire and heats up. The forge gets really hot, and sometimes really bright. Sometimes when I stare at the forge for too long it's like staring into the sun. The forge is also not a waterfall of lava, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.

Welding and blacksmithing are not the same thing. They often go hand-in-hand, but you cannot connected two pieces of metal with traditional blacksmithing alone. There is something called forge welding, where you heat your metal, sprinkle borax (or the in-universe equivalent) on it to prevent the metal from oxidizing/being non-weldable, and hammer the pieces together very quickly. Forge welding also sends sparks flying everywhere, and if you're working in a small space with other blacksmiths, you usually want to announce that you're welding before you do, so that everyone in a five-foot radius can get out of that five-foot radius. You also cannot just stuck some random pebbles into the forge and get a decent piece of metal that you can actually make something with, Steven Universe. It doesn't work like that, Steven Universe.

Anvils are really fucking heavy. Nothing else to add here.

Making jewelry is not a blacksmithing thing unless you want jewelry made of steel. And it will be very ugly if you try. Blacksmithing wasn't invented to make small things.

If there's anything here I didn't mention, just ask and I'll do my best to answer.

❝  chivalry is overrated,  get in my bed.  ❞

❝  you’re clearly exhausted.  you can go in the morning.  ❞

❝  you don’t have to pretend to be fine,  if you need me to stay i will.  ❞

At the mentioning of knowing she'd be here, in her home, made her raise a simple brow. Guessing she was under the impression she'd be off doing other royal duties. And she'd be right, but a vast majority of her time would be at home tending to the greenhouse. "Well, Nicholas is busy right now. Off to help Zander with something unique."

A soft smile spread along her features, already thinking about how to spend the day with her son's current lover. It was even whispered throughout court, and the servants, that the Queen Mother had to meet any suitors her children were infatuated with. Making sure she got along with them was a green flag. Sure, Geoffrey would come, but even he had his busy days with getting Aodh in line.

Even with the awkwardness in the room feeling so palpable, Anna didn't pay it any mind. Once Kali was dressed in something comfortable, she nodded in approval. "Thank you, and please, match my pace, it's in the south wing."

She wasn't one to judge, as once upon a time, she would appear in bed bare as a undecorated wall, but she'd be remiss if the woman held some immediate decorum by wrapping herself in something decent. But for now she was willing to let it go. Anna quietly shut the door behind her, watching as Kali emerged from the bed and lifted her arms above her head. Teal eyes widened slightly, raising a hand to shield her vision from the sight until she bowed. Bloody hell, she had assumed she'd wear something in the bed.

Were those bruises... No, she was no stranger to that. But by the gods!

A hand raised, adorned with jewels and a connected chain ring, while the queen took a deep breath, smiling gently. "No need to be so formal, darling. I had the suspicion you were expecting my son." Her head lightly tilted, a rebellious wave slipping out of her meticulously made ponytail. Same rich copper red as her daughter.

"Unfortunately, he won't be joining us today. You and I will be spending some time--oh, here you must be freezing." She walked over to one of the drawers, rifling through until she found a shirt, extending the shirt like she was shaking the girls hand. "Get dressed in something cool and comfortable. We're going to be in the Solarium today."

tease my muse!

pester them about any of the relationships you've seen them in, things they like, things you've seen them do before, etc! make it physical, verbal, or something else ... tease them about anything about them, really! do not send with malicious intent unless given the okay by a mun!

[fiery-assassin-arc]

how intimidating does your muse find mine?

send an emoji (and/or a provided description of them) to let them know! this can be for how they perceive them now, how they perceived them when they first met them, how they perceive them during certain situations, anything at all!

😊 [SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] — not intimidating at all

🙂 [SLIGHTLY SMILING FACE] — the tiniest bit intimidating

😗 [KISSING FACE] — a little intimidating

😳 [FACE WITH WIDE OPEN EYES] — can be intimidating sometimes but not always

🫢 [FACE WITH OPEN EYES AND HAND OVER MOUTH] — more intimidating than not

😕 [CONFUSED FACE] — mostly intimidating

🫣 [FACE WITH PEEKING EYES] — very intimidating

8. Iris can't leave the house without some gum, and her favorite set of ink pens inside of her bag. And I mean those good ink pens that write so smoothly.

13. Hmm... you know how some material of clothing feels itchy and very uncomfortable? That's exactly that.

26. Her favorite snack food.. it would have to be these things called Jaffa cakes.

Sponge cake with chocolate and orange jam. She makes sure she has a stash inside her drawer for her to eat. And if someone were to make it, it would make her so darn happy.

Three little taps on the door to the Nick's bedroom were caused by the Queen. For the past few months, she has seen and occasionally heard of the hybrid making her way into her son's heart. And she has made slight small talk, but never an actual conversation. So she asked her son twenty minutes ago if she could have a word with the young woman. Yet it did cause Nick to go a little bit paler. Anna was known to be very intimidating, despite her calm and cheerful face. All Nick ased was not to show any portraits of him as a child.

She practically walked on air on her way to her son's room, seeing the hybrid still laying in bed. Granted, it was past noon. She's seen Iris do the same thing. "Kali, is it? I'd like to have a word with you."

"I wonder if they'll have your hair." she mused. Fingers ran themselves through the undone mane of the wind god, the silver tresses almost rebelliously flying away as she thought about how to style it. Perhaps a ponytail, maybe? Or a braided crown at the top of his head. The possibilities were endless.

Iris inhaled through her teeth as she made her way to sit down behind him, her belly now bigger than it was three months ago. She was further along in the pregnancy, a thing she should have realized. But getting up and down was a bit tough now.

As her hands went to work on his mane, she noticed the expression on his face, curious. "You've been quiet for some time, my love, koins for your thoughts?"

Her skin was practically crawling when she went into the Temple of Death.

Her fingers played with the rosary beads, as if trying to conjure up some sort of prayer of protection. But this wasn't his domain, it was someone else's entirely. Something unknown had drawn her here. Whether it was from the ghosts of her pasts, or her concerns about her future. Her feet had a mind of their own. Walking with echoes trailing behind her due to her heels. The beads wrapped around her fingers, the cross biting itself into her palm. Making it almost bleed due to the sharpness of the holy Cross.

He head lifted up high, an exhale leaving her lungs as she saw the head--o a BODY--of the God of Death. His back was to her, hands raised up. Reminding her of the priests back home. "How the might have fallen," she whispered, her eyes catching the fires dancing on the pillars. "Why in the hell did you give him those powers? Do you have any idea what Remington has done?" she shouted.
