In the 13th episode of the 6th season of The Simpsons, Mr. Burns decorates Homer's cubicle with a special demotivational plaque. Throughout the episode, Homer deepens his relationship with his daughter Maggie and embellishes the poster accordingly.

Over the years, the collage was turned into a template, vectorized and eventually gained meme status in the wider anime community.

This script steps up the game a level higher and automates the whole ordeal of downloading images and painstakingly pasting them into the template.

• Python 3.x
  • requests
  • PIL

• ./difh.py -c character_name generates a collage, displays it and saves it in the working directory as character_name_xyz.png
• ./difh.py -h shows additional options

Character tags on Danbooru and other similar aggregators follow a few specific conventions, such as:

• all lowercase, words separated by underscores (example: princess_zelda)
• in case of Japanese names, Asian name order is used (surname first) (hakurei_reimu)
• in rare cases (mostly short names or ambiguity), franchise name may be required (mercy_(overwatch))

When in doubts or no images have been found, try searching among Danbooru tags - though be wary when clicking on the tags themselves, as content on Danbooru is unfiltered and not always safe for work.

You can specify additional tags in the -t option - note that this overrides the default solo tag. Separate tags by +. You can also blacklist tags by prefixing them with -. (example: solo+smile+-blood)

Currently, all imagws are grabbed from Safebooru, a very NSFW-filtered version of Danbooru. Switches for different aggregators are planned.
