I knew the Cold Steel writers were afraid of making a point, but holy shit "everything wrong in the country is because of Robot Satan" is a incredible way to dodge talking about how nationalism, ambition, and greed can ruin a nation

[halcyon-writings]

Are you still doing Cold Steel requests? If so can I get Machias comforting the reader on a bad day? (In CS1 era preferably)

Of course u can anon!! (thank god u clarified for cs1 bc I did NOT finish anything with cs2 yet)

nav.

Initially, Machias could not stand you.

Nothing truly against you, of course. Only that you happened to belong to a noble house. A prim and proper scion, he had called you. (You had to wonder, if such a literal title could be said with such venom, how else he could insult people? You were a little impressed to be honest, not that you would admit that.)

And like him, you had a proficiency in marksmanship. A rifle’s scope is trained on a target as you make another shot, right in the center. Yet the crease of your brow shows you’re not focusing on the target in the slightest. Machias crosses his arms as you place your weapon down, eyes looking past the target as you wipe your face.

“You’ve been staring at me for five minutes,” Your voice makes him jump.

He stammers out some weak excuse, one that you clearly don’t buy as you roll your eyes, reloading your weapon again as you begin to aim.

“Well, if you’re looking for someone to listen to your endless complaints, maybe go and ask Rean if he’s not busy being the student council’s errand boy?” You suggest with a thin smile. But it’s your eyes that make him falter. They’re focused on the targets, sure, but there’s something in your gaze that makes him hesitate in retorting. There’s a tinge of redness in your eyes. Had you been crying?

“Are you alright?” The words leave his lips before he can stop them.

You place the rifle down, perplexed at his words. Eyes shift from him to behind him, as though you’re expecting him to be asking someone else about their wellbeing and not yours. You don’t see anyone else. To his chagrin, you look again anyway.

“Will you quit that?” He snaps instead, the flush on his cheeks growing as even the tips of his ears felt hotter.

You make a face, nose crinkling as you tap your finger restlessly, waiting for him to speak. He pushes his glasses back up on the bridge of his nose, shuffling on the soles of his feet. The only sound now accompanying you both is the random chirping of birds to the whistling of the wind in the grass.

Still, Machias does not falter, this time uncrossing his arms.

“Are you alright?” He repeats. This time his tone is quieter, gentler even, unlike his usual one. “You look off.”

There it is. Your brow furrows again as you give him a look.

And with an unimpressed tone, your reply comes, “You suck at trying to sound comforting.” You’re facing him fully now, this time your arms crossed over your chest. Practice targets and rifle forgotten, this time conversing properly with your peer.

“I’m fine, if you’re that worried. But if you need to use the targets for practice, I still have…” You trail off, checking the watch on your wrist for a moment before you look up again, “…about half an hour.”

Well, that’s what he was there for. Your presence was circumstantial.

Still, he doesn’t believe you. And like many things about him, he was stubborn and wanted to prove a point.

“You’re not.”

“I am.”

“No, you’re not.”

“You’re unbelievable.”

Your tone sounds lighter as you go back and forth. For even a small smile grows on your face. And despite himself, a hint of a smile grows on his face too. For once you’re not some scion, that you remind him of, since you’re not the oldest child of your family. You’re just you. His classmate. But both of you make a face in agreement when the word friend floats around.

You pack your things, taking a final swig of your water bottle before tossing it in the cans nearby. You leave Machias to practice on his own now. His words somewhat of a comfort for what had been bothering you.

Friend, huh?

It was certainly not that. But it was a start.

Me: *has two fanfic for one fandom started but at parts where brain go phut*

Me: I’m going to make a “write a sentence* habit in my habit tracker to make myself work on these!

Me: *does so*

Me: *has kept on on writing at least a sentence a day!  ... in an older fanfic.  In another fandom*

Asdjhkjsf that meme and yes please i would love the curated selection, thank you! Sadly i can't offer spn memes bc i can't post pics on anon. Btw i totally understand the making it gay thing too, honestly i would throw myself on Gaius if i wouldn't have Laura. But alas he's my BFF. (I have no idea who is even romanceable or how it works in game. We'll see we'll see) But what u said about Jusis & Machias & fedex... i joke abt them but i'm afraid i'm heading that way 😩 Also Angelica my love <3

SHSHSGS Personally I think the funniest interpretation of Class VII is like. Queer friend group -> found family. Which direction are they queer? Who knows. It wildly varies. None of them know what's going on either and they all heckle each other about it. Everyone has had a crush on Rean at some point, and he is equally oblivious to each and every one. In the end none of them have any personal space and they are one of the Weirdest groups of people ever.

I JOKE ABOUT JUSIS AND MACHIAS TOO but like. It just. The more it goes on the more and more you're like "Hm. I think there's something not quite straight happening here". There are jokes about it IN GAME (I fucking love Dorthee she's by far one of the funniest NPC's)

And man the thing is like you're fairly early on so like some of the REALLY 🏳️‍🌈 moments are faaaaar off in the future (cs4 hot springs side quest anyone)

Angelicaaaaa <3 Another character who's writing has some uuuuuuh moments but I love her dearly. She's soooo funny. Saw the opportunity to become the First Lesbian in Leather On A Bike in her world and pounced. Queen.

Oh and you haven't even properly met Prince Olivert yet. He's. Yes. You'll understand.

[almoststedytimetravel]

You know, I think the reason my brain latched on to Randy as its new chew toy so quickly is because character wise, he's very similar to Inigo "Laslow" Fire Emblem.

How Cold Drawing Enhances Steel Quality for Precision Components

Steel is a cornerstone material in industries ranging from construction to automotive and aerospace. Among the various methods of processing steel, cold drawing has become a standout technique for producing high-quality, precision components. This process not only improves the mechanical properties of steel but also ensures it meets the exacting demands of industries that require accuracy, strength, and reliability. One of the leading materials produced through this process is cold drawn steel, which offers superior performance for precision components.

What is Cold Drawing?

Cold drawing is a metalworking process in which steel is pulled through a die to reduce its diameter and improve its properties. Unlike hot rolling, which occurs at elevated temperatures, cold drawing is performed at room temperature. This approach allows the steel to retain its inherent strength while enhancing its dimensional accuracy and surface finish.

The process typically involves the following steps:

Pickling: The steel is treated to remove any surface impurities, such as rust or scale.

Pointing: The steel rod or bar is tapered at one end to allow it to pass through the die.

Drawing: The steel is pulled through a die, reducing its cross-sectional area while elongating its length.

Annealing (if necessary): The steel may undergo heat treatment to relieve internal stresses and improve its ductility.

Key Benefits of Cold Drawing

The cold drawing process significantly enhances the quality of steel in several ways:

Improved Dimensional Accuracy Cold drawing produces steel with tight tolerances, ensuring consistent dimensions across the entire batch. This level of precision is critical for industries like aerospace and medical manufacturing, where even minor deviations can lead to component failure.

Enhanced Mechanical Properties The cold drawing process increases the tensile strength and hardness of steel. By reducing its cross-sectional area, the steel becomes more resistant to deformation and wear, making it ideal for high-stress applications.

Superior Surface Finish Cold drawn steel has a smoother surface compared to hot-rolled steel. This is particularly beneficial for components that require further machining or coating, as the improved surface finish reduces the need for additional processing.

Improved Material Uniformity The cold drawing process refines the grain structure of steel, resulting in improved uniformity throughout the material. This uniformity translates to better performance under load and more predictable behavior in critical applications.

Applications of Cold Drawn Steel in Precision Components

The enhanced properties of cold drawn steel make it indispensable for manufacturing precision components in various industries:

Automotive Industry: Used in producing engine components, transmission shafts, and suspension parts, where strength and dimensional accuracy are essential.

Aerospace Industry: Ideal for manufacturing landing gear parts, control rods, and fasteners, which require high tensile strength and reliability.

Medical Industry: Utilized in surgical instruments and medical devices, where precision and smooth finishes are critical.

Construction Industry: Commonly used in structural applications, including reinforcement bars and fasteners.

Comparing Cold Drawn Steel to Other Steel Processing Methods

When compared to other methods like hot rolling or forging, cold drawing offers distinct advantages:

Higher Precision: Cold drawn steel achieves tighter tolerances than hot-rolled steel, making it ideal for applications requiring exact measurements.

Enhanced Strength: The cold working process increases the steel’s yield strength, making it more durable under stress.

Cost Efficiency: While the initial process may be more time-consuming, the reduced need for secondary machining or finishing makes cold drawn steel a cost-effective choice in the long run.

Why Industries Choose Cold Drawn Steel

Industries that prioritize quality and precision often opt for cold drawn steel. Its superior mechanical properties and smooth finish allow manufacturers to meet the stringent requirements of modern engineering projects. Additionally, cold drawn steel offers excellent machinability, making it easier to create complex shapes and designs without compromising quality.
