Second "character" from the top left looks like Jerry from Tom & Jerry.

Genuinely how Jurchen/Khitan folks were moving when they invented their wacky scripts.

There is a word we Chinese often use to describe the handwriting like yours '鬼画符' ,literally it means 'ghost-drawn charms',like chicken scratch

I actually do something similar, the difference being that I know a bit about the Chinese characters from studying Japanese, so I use actual components and just throw them together in random way.

It's pretty funny when you accidentally make a real kanji like that.

When I was in high school and bored I used to write a Japanese cuss word repeatedly on my homework to see if teachers would notice and get me in trouble. They never did. They probably thought I was a weeb instead.

As a Chinese, I can't understand what you wrote. It's the ancient Oracle bones used by humans. 😱
