So here’s what I thought as I scrolled down this photoset in my feed.

“Okay, a red-hot ring of some kind of metal…
Oh, I see, we’re forging iron, looks like it’s from a meteorite, interesting…
That’s cool, that’s kind of neat how he makes it into this long bar…
[reaches last two photos]
OH MY HOLY GODS AND LITTLE FISHIES WHAT IS THAT GODDAMN ANIMAL

I dunno what it is. I feel mentally like I should like meteoritic iron as opposed to iron that comes from earth ores. But somehow it’s almost worse: it’s like AUGH YOU CORRUPTED MY STARS or some kind of nonsense like that. It may depend on the smith and what they put into it, but sometimes (as now) even looking at pictures of such things can give me the crawling heebie-jeebies.
