Fan of kaiju, mecha, funky music, MST3K, video games, movies. Still not totally used to being on an ACTIVE social media platform, so if I don't know following etiquette please forgive me. Your attention is appreciated.

Redman posing, no doubt after introducing some poor kaiju to its maker.
The cover of what I assume is an old Goosebumps book with skeletons riding a roller coaster one way reaching out to live people riding the roller coaster the other way. The skeletons are labeled "Skeletons who want to be friends with me" and the other side is labeled "Me, surprised, but excited to be friends with skeletons", because who wouldn't be?
Godzilla and Jet Jaguar shake hands
A black snake with whispy white stripes inside of a large concrete pipe. The pipe, for reference, is 6 feet tall. The snake seems to be an Eastern Kingsnake.
A screenshot from one of the Aero Fighters games, with a dolphin in a pilot helmet next to a map of level locations. The text, spoken by this fighting ace, reads "Don't underestimate the power of dolphin."
An itty bitty frog, smaller than a fingernail, on the windshield of a large work truck.
Godzilla and Jet Jaguar shake hands
A rough-scaled lizard, roughly 4 inches main body, maybe 7 nose to tail? It’s looking over its shoulder at the camera as it sits on an old log.
A normal looking forest shot until you examine it closer. One of the trees that looks like it’s growing behind a fallen log is actually growing up out of it - there’s a gap below the log showing that there’s nothing under it. Looking to the left you see the bottom of the main tree still partially in the ground, displaying an admirable stubbornness in the face of crisis.
Barry Wilmore "You never know true beauty until you see Earth from space, or true terror until you hear someone knocking on the space station door from outside. You look through the porthole and see an astronaut, but all your crew is inside and accounted for. You use the comm to ask who it is and he says he's Ramirez returning from a repair mission, but Ramirez is sitting right next to you in the command module and he's just as confused as you are. When you tell the guy this over the radio he starts banging on the door louder and harder, begging you to let him in, saying he's the real Ramirez. Meanwhile, the Ramirez inside with you is pleading to keep the airlock shut. It really puts life on Earth into perspective." There's a picture of a man in an orange space suit.
Solo Wing Pixy smiling at the camera, asking his buddy if they're still alive
A goofy guy dancing around unaware it is being stalked by a dangerous killer
A scene from Gremlins wherein we see our current crop of republican congress reps enjoying themselves at a local DC establishment.
An F-15 passing by a VF-1 Valkyrie Text reads "Ace Combat Skies of Decepticon"
Montage of Godzilla fucking up a lot of various things with the text reading variations of "Fuck this thing" and ending with "And especially fuck you"
Kirby engaging in the rules of nature upon a robot with a big blade arm as he launches it into space, dicing it with a double-sided sword
Popuko cradling a baby singing it a song about haters, because that baby is a hater
A 2-XL “robot” toy cassette player, which was novel for its special cassette tapes which had points where you could change tracks, used for either quiz tapes narrated by 2-XL himself (riddled with hacky jokes that any self respecting child loved) or choose your own type adventures, notably ones with Batman or Superman. It also worked as just a regular tape player. Since it didn’t have a creepy moving face it isn’t as well remembered as teddy ruckspin.
Two apes with knives circle each other menacingly as a crowd of bougie jerks cheer them on, clutching money in their hands. One ape tosses the knife from one hand back to the other while the other ape gestures with its free hand at the other, goading it forward.
Joseph Joestar from Jojo's Bizarre Adventures screaming OH! MY! GOD!
Two panels, one of a woman making a shocked face, with the face of a primate (baboon? monkey?) behind her - it may be more representative of her emotion than actually present. The second panel is a further closeup with an even more detailed expression of shock and urgency on her face and that of the monkey. It seemingly conveys the initial shock of something happening, then the sudden realization of much worse implications. I don't know where this image originated, unfortunately. Sorry.
A picture of Dr Worm. He's not a real doctor, but he is a real worm, who likes to play the drums. He thinks he's getting good but he can handle criticism.
Two 4koma comics (read right to left and down - start from the top right and go down). The first is titled Person. The first panel has Samus with her helmet off, smiling sweetly at Kirby. I mean, who wouldn't? He's fucking adorable. She thanks Kirby for defeating the Metroid, and Kirby thinks to himself how she's a human, like Adeline. The second panel shows comparisons between Adeline's hands, face, and legs, with Kirby's thoughts commenting "But... they're so different!" The third panel shows Adeline the artist responding "That's just the difference between an adult and a child!" Kirby responds "Oh, really?" The final panel shows Adeline showing off a drawing and saying "This is what I'll look like in the future!" and it's just her stretched upward like a stick person. Kirby blanches and thinks "No, they're definitely different!" The second comic starts with King Dedede saying Adeline is really good at art. She asks "really?" Second panel shows Dedede pointing to a picture of a blob with five protrusions. "Yeah, this is a really good banana!" he says. She responds "It's an octopus." Third panel he's laughing and says "It's an octopus that's cute like a banana is!" Adeline smiles and responds "I knew that you would understand, Dedede!" Fourth panel is a close up on Dedede thinking "It's a lie, but I won't say that". Source of comic I don't know, but I think it's official?
Samus cameo in Kirby's Dreamland 3
Him Ah, there he is. That motherfucker. What a tool.
To whom it may concern: Pen and pencil production infrastructure already exists. It has no new impact on energy prices as they are already accounted for by power systems. Also, these industries are regulated. AI data centers are new, and would either add heavy loads on existing infrastructure 1/ or be allowed to create their own power systems absent the relevant regulation, which could also have severe ecological implications if they're building their own coal plants beneath their sites. Also, it's worth noting that data centers already exist that allow the internet to function. 2/ General internet usage is dwarfed by AI needs with regards to data centers, and this means that as AI requires more from data centers, it will cause internet processing to suffer, and costs to soar. We're already seeing some sites being priced out of the market. 3/ Surely a shrinking and more expensive internet is a negative for creativity. This is all to say nothing of the impact of dependency developed by young people who use it without learning how to do things themselves, which isn't even touching on how they're being driven to suicide by it. 4/ But your point is about how AI is a tool. I could hire a man to paint something that I told him to paint and consider him a tool, and yet the only tool in the room would be me. I would have no standing to then claim the work as mine and sell it. Especially not if it's as poor as your examples. 5/ Scrutinizing any random part of your example images reveals blurred and blending lines, like some manner of fever dream of whatever was intended. These generative models draw from existing works, often without permission, because they hold no inherent talent. Thus errors like this are common.

A fairy from the Soul Eater anime reacting with a severe cringe at the mention of a certain unbearable character and then flying away.
A yellow ship seen from the side, flying very fast. It has round downward-facing turbines like a quad-copter and two large engine thrusters on the top rear. It also has thrusters on the back that appear to swing down into legs in a landing position, in conjunction with the ski-like leg on the front.
A dark red ship from the top-side, in space, with lots of glowing red lines and sharp angular edges. It has two large sharp turbine-ish things on either side that give it the name, due to the vague resemblance to lobster claws.
A top-side view of a space ship that is light beige with red accents. Its edges are mostly rounded and it has a slightly alien-looking cockpit, with four large turbines and two wing-like thrusters on the side.
Jet Jaguar (Grey/red/blue uncanny-looking robot with a weird smile-like face reminiscent of Jack Nicholson) shaking Godzilla's hand firmly, maintaining eye contact like he's at a job interview. He apparently failed it because he never got to be in another movie, and survives only through fan hype in an anime and some comics.
The character Yuko from the Nichijou anime standing in the rain with an expression drained of all emotion, brought on by a long string of terrible events all happening together. The expression or lack thereof conveys almost a resignation that bad things will keep happening because that's just what the joke is this time.
A silly guy with big old ears is frolicking in the woods just skipping and swinging and having a grand old time. As he passes the camera we see behind him, in the mist, the figure of a serial killer known as Red Man.
A haggard bald eagle perched up on top of a very tall utility pole by the waterside. It waited for the rain to taper off before leaving.
A giant robot (Big O) lands a punch on another large robot with its fist, which then extends a piston backward and then forward again to create a larger secondary impact. I would do more detail but it's 2am
An embiggened Jet Jaguar picks up a truck, gently plucks its driver out and sets him aside and then enters a ready stance with the two-trailer big rig as nunchaku. He says/sings "If Godzilla's here, Jet's your only chance."
4 pictures of Godzilla on the left compared to four pictures of cats on the right, making a distinct comparison between the expressions of each. The implication being that Godzilla makes angry cat faces.

The cover of Garth Marenghi’s TerrorTome. The upper heading reads “Dreamweaver. Doomsayer. Sunday Times Bestseller.” And the tagline under the title reads “Curl up with this book… and die.”

ENA squinting
An assortment of graphic novels/comics. Six volumes of Locke & Key, one of the Frank Miller Robocop comic, three volumes of Alan Moore's Providence, the Zomnibus, a Deluxe volume of the Harley Quinn comic book (unsure which specific run - I couldn't find a date and I don't remember), and two volumes of some Skybound series called Manifest Destiny. Background blurred to preserve the privacy of my ugly bathroom.
Intense giggling anime face
A white cat meowing at the camera very insistently.
A male mostly white tabby cat with brown splotches with stripes. Turning to the camera with his tongue out, one eye more closed than the other.
A skyline just after the sun has gone down over the horizon, with vivid blues and oranges. The sky is streaked with lazily drifting contrails. Not pictured (to avoid license plates) is the beautifully placid river on either side of the bridge the picture was taken. It might not come across in the picture, but the colors of the sky were unusually deep, possibly related to the aurora phenomenon that was expected to happen that night.

A shaking picture of a distraught cat. A catastrophe.

A meme of a geode that looks like it's making a big smiley face with a news crawler below it that says "Local rock in great mood today" with the sub-header "Erosion is not much happening & we bout to get igneous" (Credit not mine)
