This is the underworld office. We don't hurt people. Usually.

(I just realized, with the help of daily_underworld_office on Instagram, that I forgot to credit the original artists. These don't belong to me but they belong to team 344. Apologies for not crediting them earlier. These animations can be found on their twitter. So, feel free to show them some love!)

The villain smiled devilishly through the tugging and pulling of the chains; a smile that the hero knew all too well. As the high pitched screeching of chain against stone filled the dreaded air with anticipation as the villain was being brought to his execution, the hero stopped dead in their tracks.

"Halt."

The guards containing the villain in their hold abruptly stopped and turned around, briefly glancing at each other before shrugging.

"What's the matter?" One asked in a voice that was muffled through the helmet.

"I want a word with him alone."

"But the Royal Highness is awaiting his execution, just like you both agreed."

The hero shot a glare full of daggers at the guard.

After a brief moment of hesitation, the guard shrugged, taking a step back.

Clank, the chains dropped.

And heavy thumps were heard as both guards walked a little distance away.

Turning their attention to the pitiful excuse of the former villain, they growled, "What are hiding? I know you're hiding something.."

The villain simply chuckled and gave a cocky smile as they turned their head up, almost as if challenging the hero to make them say it. "For me to know, and you to find out~" They simply whispered.

"Don't play sly with me!" The hero harshly whispered, "I beat your ass and could've killed you myself had I not made the agreement with the Queen to publicly execute you in front of her!"

The villain sighed, "You always spoke with too many words. Is my plan really not that easy to see?"

He smirked to himself, "Perhaps I really did out-do myself."

dunno if I'll finish this but ye :p)

The hero has defeated you and you are being hauled off in chains. But this doesn’t matter, because you have already won and there is nothing the hero can do.

OMG YES THANK YOU

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.
