@scalzi never occurred to me that Krampus was a trolloc #WheelOfTime

@scalzi

My friend and I looked at image of Krampus and Santa in an embrace, and she said, "When a Krampus and a Santa love each other very much, Christmas!" LOL

@scalzi
I'm impressed at how good those hands are.
@scalzi Ooooh I KNEW it. That's why I never got that SNES in 1991.
@scalzi This has serious Chuck Tingle vibes #HereForIt
@scalzi @holly_actual Absolutely a Chuck Tingle cover waiting for his book.
@scalzi best damn thing I've seen all day. Thanks
@scalzi It was so close to getting the hand right! Gonna need a closer look at that 6th finger 😅
@scalzi Have you seen the 2010 Finnish film, Rare Exports: A Christmas Tale?
@maughmer @scalzi I recognise Santa, but who's the bearded chap in red?
@scalzi You sure that's AI? St. Nick seems to have the correct number of fingers.
@scalzi Dang! Krampus has been hitting the gym in the off-season.
@scalzi Brings tears to my eyes! 🥲
@scalzi why is Belanickle always left out?… “he’s like Santa, but dirty and worse” - Dwight Shrute

@scalzi that's really good. The Dall-E version didn't give me great results:

@scalzi@mastodon. These results are a bit less compelling
@scalzi Are you sure this is AI-generated? I mean, the amount of digits on the hand seems to be correct!
@scalzi how can you deprive twitter from this weirdness
@scalzi So THAT'S what Gilgamesh and Enkidu were up to all this time
@scalzi um excuse me, Mr. Krampus, Mr. Klaus...just gonna wiggle in here too. Call me an elf if you need to.
@scalzi Please tell me the role of Krampus will be played by Jason Momoa.
@scalzi He’s a cuddly fuzzy bear, really ❤️
@scalzi I had a neighbor who used to put a huge Krampus in his front yard during December. Sadly he moved and we are all poorer for it.
@scalzi This is just so wholesome.❤️
@scalzi 🎵I saw Krampus fucking Santa Claus
Underneath the mistletoe last niiight🎵
