old tech had been outlawed. The newsreader rumbles as the lights fade. The figure shudders in horror whilst watching it, seeing as it slowly rises onto its gangly mechanical limbs. The screeching of the rusted joints scraping together echoed out over the entire city. Once it was done, it stood

Water pipe connecting to the washing machine on the balkony started leaking preventin me from washing clothes, so i asked the landlord to call repairman. He fixed the pipe but then noted that water heater (a huge barrel kind) needs to be removed, because attachment point is rusted.

one of my favorite things to do on social media is hit every little post about getting normal life stuff done, like "finally cleaned the shower tile grout and it's like i have a whole new bathroom" or whatever it is, with a big old "Hell Yeah"

Back to #trenchcrusade with a model I got for Christmas. Pretty happy with how the War Wolf came out despite some hiccups along the way. #miniaturepainting

I bought this old ‘76 Datsun back in college for like $500. It was rusted through and falling apart but for some reason it would start virtually instantly no matter how cold it got, probably because it had a carburetor and not fuel injection.

It's this one of those universal experiences for people my age and/or socioeconomic background, driving with the window open all winter as a teen cause the rust bucket floor and exhaust rusted through and if you roll up the windows you get dizzy at stop lights?

Or was that just a me thing?

Hello #portfolioday! My name is Hayden Gough, and I am a Kansas City-based Illustrator. I've done lots of tokens for my local game shop in the past, and I enjoy digital painting!

I tend to like high-contrast, spooky compositions. I am looking for entry-level work so that I can work my way up!
A digital painting of the Cage from Slat the Princess. She is draped in a red dress against a sickening, duller maroon as she holds a rusted birdcage holding her severed head. A Sephiroth emblem, created by the Magi: the Gathering Card "Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER." It is a black-and-white, icon-heavy illustration of Sephiroth's final form with text that reads, "Whenever a creature dies, target opponent loses 1 life and you gain 1 life." A ghastly, semi-transparent ghost representing a spirit token. It features a pale-yellow specter over a darkened forest background, partially visible through the spirits shadowed "values". A digital painting of a black cat staring at the viewer while standing in front of an ajar door. The cat is illuminated by yellow light beaming from the room.

I knew it. 🚨Everyone hell for leather after this ship, I knew it wasn’t just an empty rusted out oil tanker. 💰

I haven't been able to get this confirmed, but it's being reported that the seized 🇷🇺 ship "Bella 1" had hidden "cargo"

It was allegedly carrying 1.5 tons of gold from Arco Minero, a mass of cash in euros, and electronic guidance components for drones.

I had to be with her And leave the world behind I knew that no one else could understand And I slipped her silver palm inside my hand Married to the bower I threw our bodies overboard Our hearts were bound by heavy rusted chain Now I roam the ocean floor With the lady I adore This is where we remain

🖤 - Replaceable tips to fit your mood

Straight spike for a nice quick one and done
Screw spike for more damage in and out
And a blunt/dull end for those longer sessions
Bonus points if they're damaged, rusted, or just keep dried blood from previous uses

Every household should have one honestly

I looked up the house I grew up in on Google maps, it has changed owners and appearance a couple times since my parents sold it in the late 90s everything except the old black iron mailbox which I scratched 'I hate you' when I was around 9 that rusted and apparently remains to this day lol

Looks like that old, blue, tiny truck painted with a sign on the door stands a chance at a better fate than this one.
An old, blue, tiny truck painted as a sign. It's heavily rusted and the driver's window is replaced by an aluminum sheet. Parked in front of a tagged corrugated wall.

Been meaning to do that for sooooo long

I moved from rusted-on Labor to the Greens when Beazley backed Howard on Tampa. But I did vote for Albanese in 2022.

Never. Again.

Night cracked like a skull Made the moon convulse Wrapped its chilly tongue around my mast A fortnight it would be Since I'd been out at sea Ne'er another soul had crossed my path I was hauling salt In my bleached and battered boat Trawling just to pass the restless night When I felt the queerest tug Against that fraying cord Reeling in a devastating sight In the brackish sound Somebody had drowned She wrapped her raven rings around my line In a tangled open dress The most comely bloodless breasts A distant look was frozen in her eyes A fiend possessed my soul As I helped her to disrobe A rope of weeds was woven round her thighs My ill and frenzied heart And the quiet lapping song Beaten by the splendor of her hips I had to lay her down Atop those briny beds And press my mouth against her silent lips The frigid moon was green Upon my wicked scene My wasted angel shimmering in sand I had to be with her And leave the world behind I knew that no one else could understand And I slipped her silver palm inside my hand Married to the bower I threw our bodies overboard Our hearts were bound by heavy rusted chain Now I roam the ocean floor With the lady I adore This is where we remain

A pixel art mockup featuring tiles I made for "Rotunda". A treasure room featuring golden a golden floor, doorway, pillars, and mounds of treasure are shown. The main protagonist, a faceless elf in a cloak stands in the center of the pathway. A pixel art rendition of Bulbasaur watering a Budew in a garden of flowers. A pixel art rendition of a magnemite sleeping in a field of vines and flowers. It is rusted, basking in the sun, with a happy expression. Forget-me-nots are growing in the corner.

Here he is, your wretched little dungeon goblin, sentenced to find their way out of this maze of rusted pipes, just room after room of hauntingly lit pipes. Did they enrage a sadistic plumber? Are they in a warehouse purgatory, atoning for past sins? Stay tuned for the next entry of PIPE DREAM*

A corkboard with multiple photos pinned up, some of them linked by red thread. In the top left is a photo of a rusted silo. A small sapling is inside, and has a lens flare glow off it. This photo has thread to a right hand photo of a snowy creek. The thread then veers back left to two photos of an ocher skinned girl on a motorbike. In the top center is a photo of two girls kissing. It is overlapped by a small blue heart with the words "I love you" and a photo of a rainbow obsidian arrowhead. A new thread comes off this photo, linking to a photo of three hands meeting for a first bump on a table. The other end of the thread links to a photo going out of frame of obsidian shards. In the top right there is a grayscale photo of a blurry girl with a bob cut. She is covering her face with a hand. In the very center a hand is holding up a photo of a smiling blonde and brunette. The photo is burned, with the largest burn rising between the two.

She doesn't have any, they broke months ago and she kept the pieces anyways. Where did she put them, fu--they are under the sink. Rusted now, not sharp enough anyways.

Going to have to use the kitchen knife...wait that's stupid. I could fucking kill my...what the fuck ever.

Dimes reference
#OC #OCsky #RoborOC
Dimes 4 Crimes a rusted skinny robot with a domed glass head and massive belt fed gun arm with a drum magazine on the shoulder. The text reads Better known as Dimes, it is an old world prototype robot that never saw widespread commercial use. It was intended as a for hire soldier. When given a task, Dimes is driven to complete said (usually violent) task to the best of its abilities. As the task drags on Dimes becomes more intelligent to better solve the problem. When the task is complete, Dimes resets. This unit was recovered and modified by Nemonaut to carry out various simple and mundane tasks out in the field for him. Most recently it was ordered to patrol and search for any signs of pre-war people or objects of interest... maybe it will stumble upon Iris?
