this is not true of alloy steels (meaning steels that contain significant amounts of stuff other than carbon and iron) by the way. stainless steels in particular can have less than 50% iron in them with the sheer amount of chromium and nickel and stuff that's added
but carbon steels are purer iron than cast iron or wrought iron

I don't know when it happened exactly but it was not very long after the requirement that people use TSA locks on luggage and ever since, the locks are practically as useful as a zip tie--holds your luggage closed while it's getting bumped around on the conveyor belts, but literally anyone can get into it with basically no effort

the story behind how the TSA managed to leak all seven of the master keys for TSA locks practically before they started rolling out the locks is kind of hilarious honestly
a news website was doing an article on it, asked either the TSA or a lock manufacturer that was contracted with them or something like that for photos to use with the article... and they got sent a high-resolution image of all seven keys, and no one thought "wait you can just copy the keys with this image"

re: mild lewd
this isn't as lewd as i was originally planning it to be so the cw doesn't really fit

wrought iron and cast iron are both extremely high-carbon alloys, because lots of carbon ends up in the iron as it's worked (just from the heat source, typically a flame from burning some carbon based fuel) unless you take care to remove it
if you manage the carbon content properly though, a small amount of carbon strengthens iron a lot (where a large amount weakens it)

re: weird multi anatomy stuff? and personal preferences
the problem is that it's hard to get that kind of detail across to people and so a lot of my commissions have me with all three in a straight row

weird multi anatomy stuff? and personal preferences
i think i really do like the three legged shape where the middle leg naturally rests slightly forward of the other two, honestly
it's a little hard to describe it right... kinda like a pelvis with a 120°~150° angle or so to it, pretty shallow, probably slightly hinged
it just makes sense i think
