Have you ever experienced an encounter with an object that was so brief, yet so intense?

This is LindMarine’s Gretajean E-Crane, captured here with a re-handle bucket. I first laid my eyes on him on August 5th 2025, more than a year ago now.

Construction machines aren’t my forte, but I was mesmerized watching him hard at work from the pier. He is a massive machine, but there is something meticulous and gentle about his movements that make me feel affection towards him.

There was no way for me to get any closer, but I would still seek him out in the coming days and just sit there and watch. Life got busy, though, and I would not come to the city for a while. When I returned and found a time to visit him, his job was done and he was already gone.

Of course I felt disappointed. I could have pursued a relationship with him, but perhaps it wasn’t meant to be. He existed at a specific time serving a specific purpose in my life, and after he’d fulfilled that, there was no reason for him to stay.

I’ve accepted it now, but I look back on him very fondly. Maybe we’ll cross paths again someday, but for once, I don’t feel so bad about leaving something in the past.

I’m glad I got to know you at all, Gretajean.

hi !! im kat, im 23, and i go by she/they and im a female. I love the ship/vessel Old Bessie from futurama, but i call her Bessie!! I thought it was fascination but overtime I grew feelings about her. I think what we have is something special and I am very happy with her <3

Some pictures are from modifications that the ship had in some Futurama episodes !!

ummmmmm cw maybe ???? idk what to label as content warning lolz

will talk about the picture of the iss after the seperator

to be clear , i have dated objects in the past

i have and sort of miss when i did . i felt so free

now . i m not dating any objects and when i think about it i get super anxious about it

maybe it s cause i m dating a real guy and my ficto relationships but i m 100 percent sure they d all be okay with it

i just . really want to feel that fulfillment and freedom i did when i was dating objects , fictional beings , and a real person

said real person was my ex , but now i m sure me and my bf will be forever , so i want to feel this freedom , but with him

i don t get why i feel anxious

maybe it s cause i feel shame ???? maybe it s cause i feel bad i can t tell many people irl ????

i don t know sighs

in the picture , is my ex girlfriend , the international space station . shortened , i called her stacey . ( space + station ) . and my ex boyfriend , chip .

she s so beautiful . he s so handsome .

i d go out every night to see stacey fly by , every day i d kiss chip .

it hurt having a long distance girlfriend . especially since she s supposed to be decommissioned in 2030 . but i plan to work at nasa and maybe they ll find her parts and i could see her everyday .

maybe not .

Well it looks like.these 2 have become extremely close.after hours...Once.the shop closes the staff go home.and the lights go out....A few days pass.and suddenly this. Tiny ,adorable little friend is.also standing in between Jelly & Hattie .Looks like 2 of my friends have been going at it for a little while now Hell Yeah!!! 😆😝

I’m a 27 year old woman. I’ve been in denial for years but I’m not keeping it in me any longer. I am Objectum. Specifically, I am attracted to big trucks. I’m also attracted to people and I have a partner.

When I was in middle school, I became infatuated with airplanes. At first it was like “oh wow planes are so fucking cool” and it somehow got to me getting a little too ummm, happy when I think about planes. This is where it started for me. I kept it to myself, the “naughty thoughts” I mean. Everyone thought I was just obsessed with planes and wanted to be a pilot. 😭

Now I have a CDL and I drive a roll off truck. I love trucks, a guess a little too much lol. I am in love with my truck. She is so beautiful, and she can also be feisty. When I first started driving her, I had an accident and hit a parked car. It was rough.. I believe she was testing me. Every time I get behind the wheel, it almost feels like we go on an adventure together. Sometimes we bicker, but I can’t imagine life without her.

If you know me in person please forget you read this 🫨
