Cheesecake
Dear Youmu Konpaku,
My attempt to figure out if you’re canonically left-handed, as shown in this picture, resulted in a severe headache due to the variety of improbable and likely painful sword-handling techniques displayed in other fan art (frequently NSFW).
However, I feel compelled to point out one thing: the fingers of your right hand will either break on impact or simply slip off the hilt the moment you start to swing.

So here’s an amusing Hugo note: if I don’t put anything above the fold, it won’t show the “more” button at all. So, blah blah blah cheesecake.

Just another curated random subset to stir up my Pixiv recommendations. That is, a script opens 100 random images out of ~11,000, and I choose whatever catches my eye, repeating until I get at least 26 in both the sfw and nsfw sets.
The workflow is: drag-and-drop from Preview into a Terminal window
where I’ve typed an echo command, switch focus to the terminal,
press spacebar twice, and switch back to Preview. When I’m done,
switch to the terminal and hit enter, then edit the echo command into
an mv into a subdirectory.
Why the odd steps? Because Apple keeps making Preview.app flakier with
each release. Normally, when you drag files into Terminal, you get the
properly-escaped full path followed by a space, but when you drag from
Preview, it will be followed by a backslash and a return, except when
it’s followed by a non-backslashed return, which happens at random
intervals. That’s why I’m collecting the list with echo instead of
using mv directly.
This is in addition to the way it will sometimes return a quarantine
path for files that have extended attributes, which is why I strip
those off immediately after downloading (xattr -d com.apple.quarantine *.*, or copy them to an ExFAT volume and
periodically rm ._*).
I defer the mv to the end because Preview refreshes all the image
thumbnails when it detects that some of them have moved. This is no
big deal when you have only 100 images open, but if you’re, say,
pulling up everything that Pixiv tagged as 魅惑の谷間 (~1,500 at the
moment…), it’s annoying.
The rest of my workflow is resizing with ImageMagick and optimizing JPEG size with Guetzli, pulling in links and tags with my PixivPy script, and uploading with s3cmd. I generally accept the shuffled order, but select one image to pull above the fold, then maybe shift a few that got clustered, and put a punchline at the end if I have one. And a cleanup script to number them all sequentially before posting.
