The Gears that Go Whirr in the Night

in #hive-15869425 days ago

Let's face it, Halloween is not the same without pumpkins. The pleasure of grabbing your tool and slowly sculpting a pumpkin by the crackling fire (with hot cocoa) is an autumnal pleasure that elicits feeling of what the Danish call Hygge. If you're committed, you might even get a pumpkin carving tool set from Amazon or Temu. Of course, if you don't want to patronize the evil empire then any old knife will do.

Carving a pumpkin is fun for the whole family, as chatGPT would say. Specially the final moment when you stick a candle, electric bulb, or bottle full of fireflies in the hollowed out vegetable, filling the cavity with light and our devilish souls with joy.

I understand that there are nations around the world where carving a pumpkin is not a thing for cultural, agricultural, social, or many other reasons. Let's face it, not everybody celebrates Halloween, though it has been making inroads in places like Japan and other parts of Asia. What's not to love about tempting and taunting the spirits of the night with pagan hijinks?

I decided to create some pumpkins that use steampunk stylings to generate the images. That's it. Nothing complicated. No hidden political agendas, religious controversies, pseudo-erotic imagery, or secret sauce. Just plain old steampunk-carved pumpkins.

If you have a favourite one, let me know which one by copying and pasting the image in the comment box. I hope you enjoy them and have a wonderful Halloween! 👻

Woww a marvel, mechanical and robotic pumpkins... they have adapted to modernity!!!

😂 True!

It would be great to carve a real pumpkin like that, but it would be a lot of work.

But it would look super!!!!😍

Tremendously good! A technical pumpkin, truly reflects our times!

It's got the traditional glowy look of traditional jack-o' lanterns, and a third eye :))

That's one of my favourites precisely because of the third eye that looks like a little window. It's actually not a bad idea to try in real life. Maybe next year 🎃

Tremendously good! A technical pumpkin, truly reflects our times!👿

Thank you, @mandragora88! It is true. We're becoming a highly technological society. Crazy times!

Thank you!
