            "They're not toys." Diego curled his lip, offended. A nerve had been struck. "These," he unsheathed one of the throwing knives from his harness, "are tools. You gotta respect 'em."
          With a flick of the wrist, he sent the knife spinning expertly into the wall calendar, dead center of the little "o" in October. Bullseye.
          "You can't just pick one up and use it," he said. "You have to understand them first. Feel the weight of 'em in your fingers, know how that's gonna change the throw..." And maybe have an unnatural ability to control the trajectory of most moving objects. Diego unsheathed another knife, smaller than the last. He held it out to them. He didn't make a habit of letting anyone touch his knives, much less share them, but he'd make an exception this once if it kept them from accidentally cutting off a finger in the future.
          (And maybe he secretly enjoyed impressing them. Hey, he's kind of a show off. Sue him.)
          "Here. Hold it like this, yeah..." Diego carefully arranged their fingers around the blade. "Feel it? The way it's weighted there? Okay. I want you to try to hit the calendar. Shoulders square to the target." Rounding them, nudging their shoulders, tapping their hip. "Now, lock your wrist, keep that elbow tight... and throw."

Star Trek TOS slash bits (Season two)
This is my personal rundown of all the slash scenes in TOS season two. I've omitted episodes when I didn't find anything remarkable in them.
-What I count: lingering touches or affectionate looks, clinginess, actions that show a strong concern/familiarity with each other, suggestive scenes...
-What I DON'T count: friendly gestures (like smiling or looking amused when someone says something funny), scenes taken out of context, physical proximity just because there's not enough space...
I'll try to illustrate some scenes when necessary, though screenshots usually don't do justice to it.
For season one analysis go here.
Metamorphosis:
There's no slash per se, but the episode has an underlying theme of love being independent of and transcending the sex of two individuals, or even their species. Spock comes off a bit more narrow-minded than the others, since he only considers the possibility of the Companion being in love with Cochrane once he learns the Companion is female. However, Kirk and McCoy had already reached this conclusion long before they knew the Companion even had a gender. And then there's, of course, Cochrane's indignation about men of the future being so open-minded, and having "no notion of decency and morality". An attitude that Spock defines as "parochial". And McCoy's take on it: "There's nothing disgusting about it. It's just another life form, that's all. You get used to those things." (And may I say, good for him to be used to alien entities entering him, considering the whole katra affair years later...)
It's been pointed out that Kirk's heartfelt speech about the Companion being unable to join "the man", is actually a revelation of his feelings for Spock. Personally, I think that's too much of an extrapolation. Even supposing that Kirk's talking in part about himself here, this may be just because of his inability to have a long-lasting relationship with anyone (not just Spock). Something that the show has already established firmly at this point.
Friday's Child
Spones Spock finds Eleen holding McCoy's hand, and McCoy quickly removes his hand, as if embarrassed for being caught cheating by his boyfriend. Unlike other times, when Spock looks amused by men flirting with women, this time he seems rather disappointed. Besides, this episode was written by D. C. Fontana, the same writer who introduced the concept of hand-touching as a specially intimate act for Vulcans.
Tumblr media
There's also the scene where McCoy tries (unsuccessfully) to teach Spock how to hold a baby, which mirrors the one where he teaches Eleen the same.
Who Mourns for Adonais?
Spirk When Kirk regrets that Spock can't come with the landing party, it seems as if Kirk's mind was wandering in an altogether different place.
Tumblr media
Amok Time
Spirk Many instances. For starters, Spock's hand gets really trembling when Kirk approaches him, and later when he grabs his wrist during a confrontation. Notice that this kind of nervousness happens mainly when Spock is approached by women (potential mates), as when he throws Chapel's soup, or when he hears Uhura's voice through the intercom. Later, Kirk is willing to risk his career to save Spock. And once in Vulcan, Spock breaks through the plak tow to beg for Kirk's life, even if he shouldn't be able to even speak in that state. Then there's, of course, the fight itself, which could be interpreted as a placeholder for sex, considering all the suggestive imagery, and the fact that it resolves magically Spock's pon farr.
Tumblr media
As for the outcome of the fight, Spock refuses to "live long and prosper", after seemingly killing Kirk. His reaction upon finding out that Kirk's alive wouldn't be so noteworthy if Spock was a normal human. However, such an open smile is very, very rare for Spock. McCoy (like any good shipper) notices at once his unusually intense emotions.
Tumblr media
Spones There's another character that elicits a trembling in Spock's hand, while getting physically close for a medical check-up. A clue: it's not Chapel.
Tumblr media
The Changeling
Spirk Kirk grabs Spock very tightly after Nomad's mind assault (and probably accidentally, Shatner squeezes Nimoy's pec so hard, that he hurts him).
Tumblr media
Right after this, Kirk still holds Spock for a very long time, until he's sufficiently recovered.
The Apple
Spirk Spock jumps illogically in front of Kirk to save him from the poisonous flowers, and almost dies as consequence. This earns him a reprimand from Kirk, who points out that he could have just shouted a warning. Apart from this, Kirk compliments Spock's appearance with the flower bracelet.
Tumblr media
Mirror Mirror Spones McCoy risks being left stranded in the mirror universe to save Spock's life. And it's not even HIS Spock! Kirk acknowledges how important this is for the doctor, and grants him those extra minutes. Right after, mirror Spock corners McCoy against a wall, and forces a mind meld on him. While Bones behaves quite submissively. It's both suggestive and disturbing.
Tumblr media
In the end, McCoy says that he liked Spock better with a beard, since it gave him "character". After his similar scene with Kahn, it seems that McCoy just has a thing for "bad boys".
The Deadly Years
Spirk Kirk makes a videocall to Spock while half naked, so his tits are right on his face. Unlike the similar scene in "The Corbomite Manouver", Kirk doesn't have a particular reason to be half naked here, and he's calling Spock specifically.
Tumblr media
And this may be a bit far-fetched, but while flirting with his previous girlfriend, Dr. Wallace, Kirk compares her with his First Officer.
McKirk Kirk is quick to point out that McCoy is growing some white hairs, in a good-natured way. And he's a bit flirtatious while the doctor reprimands and checks him.
Tumblr media
Bread and Circuses
Spones Pretty one-sided on McCoy's part. He's touched by the fact that Spock saved him in the arena, and tries to make amends and open his heart to the Vulcan. However, he fails to get a "genuine, warm, decent feeling" from Spock, and gets very hurt by his indifference (one could say, he feels "scorned"). After this, he lashes out at Spock in a specially vicious way.
Tumblr media
Then the scene transitions to...
McSpirk ...once McCoy and Spock both admit how worried they are about Jim.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, Jim is in no danger, but fooling around with Drusilla. And later, he seems ashamed to tell them about his affair with her. Of course, there's also the fact that Merik and the Proconsul know immediately that putting Spock and McCoy in danger, would be the best way to blackmail Kirk into cooperating.
Journey to Babel
McKirk It's just a little thing, but Kirk and McCoy seem to be dressing in the same cabin.
Tumblr media
Spones McCoy is eager to learn anything about Spock's childhood from his mom, specially the embarrassing details. And he beams with joy upon finding out that Spock used to have a "teddy bear".
A Private Little War
Spirk At the start of the episode, Kirk is so worried about Spock's injury, that he snaps at the bridge crew in frustration. And he goes back to sickbay to check on Spock's condition, despite having been there a few minutes before, and having just called McCoy about it. His looks at the unconscious Spock say it all:
Tumblr media
McKirk Bones is very caring towards Kirk for most of the episode, specially since the latter is injured several times. And he's also quite worried about the possibility of Kirk being really enslaved by Nona. Apart from this, there's his gentle caressing of Kirk's naked chest...
Tumblr media
Spones McCoy is reluctant to leave Spock and beam down to the planet, after having just said that doctor M'Benga could perfectly take care of him. At the end, McCoy is overjoyed to find out that Spock is alright (it's remarkable that Kirk, instead, doesn't react visibly to Spock's voice). However, the Vulcan dismisses McCoy's reaction, once again embittering him.
On the other hand, what the hell was going on between Kirk and Tyree!?
Tumblr media
All that talk about them being "made brothers", and Tyree's refusal to tell his wife about their past... Nona seems even jealous, and says she's also "his sister" (kind of putting Kirk in the same level as Tyree's wife). McCoy tries to make Kirk reconsider his strategy of arming both sides, by reminding him that Tyree could also die in the war. And during the final fight, Tyree is about to crush Kirk with a rock, but Kirk's intense stare makes him recover his sanity.
The Gamesters of Triskelion
Spones Despite all the bickering going on between Spock and McCoy in this episode, the following exchange reveals that McCoy is actually eager to meet Spock's expectations:
SPOCK: I would welcome a suggestion, Doctor, even an emotional one, as to where to look. MCCOY: First time you've ever asked me for anything, and it has to be an occasion like this.
Spock looks at him surprised, together with comedic music in the background. At the end, McCoy finally smiles, when Spock accepts his help to rescue the others.
Tumblr media
Obsession
McKirk Very similar scene to the one in "Balance of Terror". McCoy enters Kirk's cabin while he's in bed, and tries to comfort him, saying that he wasn't responsible for the deaths aboard the Farragut. However, the argument gets intense, to the point that Kirk warns the doctor not to push their friendship.
Tumblr media
The Immunity Syndrome
Spones There's a lot to unpack here. At first, Spock and McCoy are competing for the (dubious) honor of entering the amoeba. But then Spock makes McCoy understand how truly dangerous the mission is, when he asks him to wish him luck. McCoy is taken aback, and can only do so, shyly, once Spock can't hear him anymore.
Tumblr media
Later, he seems sorrowful when Spock reminds him that he should have wished him luck. Still, McCoy doesn't want to believe that Spock is dead:
KIRK: What's on your mind? MCCOY: Spock. Is it me, Jim? Am I so sentimental that I just have to keep believing that he's still alive in that mass of protoplasm?
At the end, McCoy is so happy to find Spock alive, that he blurts out an order to rescue him, forgetting he's not the Captain, much to Spock's amusement. The doctor seems a bit embarrassed, and he feels the need to berate Spock afterwards, in true tsundere fashion. Meanwhile, Kirk seems to be having a lot of fun with all this.
By Any Other Name
Spones McCoy holds Spock for a long time, after he's shocked while mind-melding with Kelinda, even when Spock is already up and walking. A bit later, he's still concerned and hovering over him. He also keeps Spock in his arms when the latter induces a trance on himself, and in general, he's very close to him whenever they're in the same scene.
Tumblr media
For his part, Kirk's fight with Rojan is rather suggestive, specially since he gives him a long speech while grabbing him like this:
Tumblr media
After this, he takes him by the shoulders in the typical "Kirk embrace", usually reserved for women he's about to kiss.
Return to Tomorrow
Spirk At the end, Kirk is devastated when he thinks that Spock has died. So much that Sargon, having understood how important Spock was to him, had saved his conscience beforehand, so he could be revived.
Tumblr media
Patterns of Force
Spirk The kinky episode. First we have Kirk's uniform fetish, when he regrets that Spock's uniform isn't as attractive as his. And then, of course, the prison porn scene. A half naked Spock climbs on top of a half naked Kirk, while the latter sweats and screams "Oh my goodness. Beautiful. Oh Spock, Spock!". Has to be seen to be believed.
Tumblr media
I'd be almost tempted to include the bit where the nazi guards catch them all inside a closet, under the pretense that McCoy was drunk, if this wasn't taking things too out of context.
The Ultimate Computer
McKirk McCoy comforts Kirk when the latter is feeling insecure about losing his command to a machine, and assures him he's not being unfair at all. Later, McCoy comes to Kirk's quarters to have a drink together, and makes a toast for him. Then Kirk... recites poetry to McCoy.
Tumblr media
The Omega Glory
Spirk A redshirt is seriously injured and lying on the floor, and yet Kirk quickly forgets about him and is like "Mr. Spock! Are you alright!?"... But Spock is just standing there, looking perfectly FINE.
Tumblr media
Kirk and McCoy's worry is justified later, once Spock is injured for real, but here is kind of hilarious.
Summary
Spirk: 9 out of 26 episodes Spones: 9/26 McKirk: 5/26 McSpirk: 1/26
Season one was the Spirk season, but in this season Spones has gained a lot of ground.

What 'default' Paleblood Hunter is like?
Recently I've been talking about characters of color in Bloodborne and how there are more than what fandom notices and someone pointed out that Paleblood Hunter should also count since they're entirely customiseable.. and that made me think about something 🤔
Tumblr media
Tbh what gives me a slight frustration is that whereas Fashionborne is a great aesthetic, there is no way to cover characters' skin and hair on 100%, and that made deciding on sort of a "canon look" for Hunter inevitable unlike in other Soulsborne games where they had helmets to solve the problem! Like.. going by merch , default Hunter has grey eyes, grey hair and pale skin. Bloodborne clothes style just doesn't offer a way to avoid that :pensive: Also, the grey-haired version has been used as default for creating cutscenes ( x ), and there is a face data in the game itself not used by any NPC but strongly resembling this version ( x ).
On the other hand, whereas Bloodborne Titan Comics are separate thing from the game's canon, they are still licensed! I think for this reason the comics is also valid to use for interpetations? The comics have Paleblood Hunter with pale blue eyes, brown skin and black hair! Also very blantantly nonbinary one; they are designed to look very androgynous and they straight up respond 'I am a hunter' on Iosefka asking if they are a boy or a girl. Aleš Kot who wrote the comics confirms writing the Hunter as nonbinary, it is not just them being "confused" upon waking up or something ( x )
Then, in the game itself when character creation menu is opened, there are two preset hunters, male and female, with all black hair and greyish-green eyes; when other Soulsborne games offer different origin presets that effect the preset look/race, Bloodborne doesn't have this feature. 🤔 This is JUST what we get, only gender varies.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^ I think lack of origin choice in Bloodborne comes from necessity to imply that Paleblood Hunter HAS TO come from the same foreign country as Brador. There is no origin variety because they had to come from a specific country that never gets named; whereas it doesn't effect the look because hunter can be customised, but possibly white people are the most common in that country and we are given a look of the most generic citizen from that place! 🤔
So yeah, what I am trying to say is that Bloodborne protagonist dodges the 'everyman' state of just an abstract person without any hint for what's under their John Soulsborne armour due to BB outfits style. Which is good, because there is no way to avoid getting creative! But also when John Soulsborne IS needed, it is just a loop fhfhds (Should have given them a cool full-face mask for consistency!)

idk why but I made a roster for SSB6. I was bored, okay?
Tumblr media
characters or sorted by series, series are sorted by when they were introduced to smash
explanation for some picks and misc ordering stuff below cut
I'm gonna start with why I picked the characters I did. First new character is Impa. Zelda needs a fourth rep, and another Link just isn't the right choice. Sheik has stayed her time, but I feel it should either be the Impa from Hyrule Warriors or Purah to play with some Tears of the Kingdom shenanigans.
Bandana waddle dee is here because Kirby's core four has been incomplete for LONG ENOUGH! This is justice for my boy!
Mewtwo was put in as a placeholder for a new starter. throw in the grass type starter from whatever the most recent Pokemon game is.
Colgate Toothpaste from Fire Emblem is there bc Fire Emblem deserves three reps. Marth to rep classic games, Robin (and I suppose Lucina) to rep the franchise's golden era, and Colgate to rep modern fire emblem.
Waluigi.
Tails and Knuckles are in because I said so. The Sonic franchise has interacted with Nintendo so much that it only feels right to add the rest of Team Sonic.
Noah was added as a second Xenoblade rep, replacing Pyra/Mythra.
Alucard replaces both Belmonts as a Castlevania rep. He just fits better imo.
For other odd roster choices, Isabelle steps up as Animal Crossing's main rep. It just feels right to have Isabelle there instead of... generic self insert main character. Wolf and Lucas were demoted to echo fighters for obvious reasons.
Geno was added as standalone DLC not only because Geno is awesome, but also because having 11 DLC characters would bring the total number to 56 (including random), which can be neatly sorted into a 14x4 grid
The first wave of DLC was the more "kid-friendly" wave. Open with Crash for the old timers, Eggman to round out the core sonic cast (except Amy, but oh well), Rayman because he got ROBBED in Ultimate, Shantae because she's cool and unique, and The Knight to rep the Best 2D Video Game Ever.
Wave 2 is the slightly more mature characters. Open with Bridgett because we love her, 2B because I couldn't think of anyone else, Travis to open the door for truly mature characters. Master Chief is the big one, obviously. I couldn't care less about Halo, but I feel like it might happen. Nintendo likes money and they've added Microsoft characters before. Joker's there as a placeholder for whoever the Persona 6 protag is. I put them on the end to close it out with an echo fighter.
I kinda wanted to be on-brand and put in amongus but I just can't see it being functional in a platform fighter.

okay you cant just say that and not elaborate. please elaborate. if you want to ofc you don't have to-
I will gladly elaborate this is very rough so idk how much sense it makes
first off this is about pokemon btw. also I'm not entirely sure how time travel works in pokemon I know it happens a lot but I. I don't know and I can't look it up rn so this might be incorrect I don't care
so there's this guy yk. he lives in a different timeline than the main story(not suuper different but it's different. basically in the main story he didn't really exist) and basically there's this legend (in both timelines) about 3 species of pokemon that represent the fear responses (fight, flight, and freeze) and those pokemon generally make people really nervous around them(they aren't doing it on purpose their abilities just screwed them over)so humans dont interact with them and eventually due to circumstances I still need to figure out but poaching them is one many die out until there's only a couple left
3 of each species the remaining pokemon (the pokemon also don't have names auughh) get so mad at humanity they train for a long time. Freeze gets especially powerful as it tries to shed it's weakness of being very slow and also unable to attack effectively and succeeds at that so it uses it's fear inducing power stuff to almost cause the apocalypse before another legendary from the reigon has to seal it away into a statue state. the other two stronger pokemon run away to avoid being punished however the statue has a marking on it that looks like an item could fit there but that's for later
anyways now actually on to this guy who I'll call. tree. because he's related to the professor who's named after a tree. that will not be their actual name I need a placeholder anyways he works in a mine with his pokemon that helps him mine. it's another form of one of the starter pokemon, who is a grey catbird with a meowth disguise. it's basically that but with perrserker so it gains steel typing (it's steel/dark now)and it's stronger because it's bred to be more for helping in the mines
tree then gets into beef with this one person over if the freeze pokemon legend is true and he travels all around out of spite to find the object that fits in the statue and eventually they find it and invite the person into the building that houses the statue
while they're waiting for the person to join them at the building tree starts to realize that if the legend was true and not something to just get people to visit the mountain it's on he could literally rule the world so he decides he wants to because they're tired of working in the mines
so the person makes it and he puts the object into the statue. and the pokemon awakens. but now it's extremely pissed off so it starts firing the Psychic Waves That Make You Anxious everywhere
and well tree almost dies instantly from the pokemon immediately attacking him but god decides he could be useful so arc decides to take him inside of the realm it's in and give tree a stern talking to and a look into what happened after he awakened the pokemon were literally all of the people and pokemon have lost it and now nothing can function anymore and then it throws him into the main story timeline. because the evil team leader is planning on doing the exact same shit he did and arc doesn't want another timeline to go to complete shit again
oh and then his bird managed to come through with them and it got lost after its pokeball broke open once getting here and almost killed the mc and one of the rivals and her tyrouge who she just saved from death the day before so that's another thing that happens

I just found out about the Mr. and Mrs. Verstappen sign and wanted to add my experience. I worked in a Michelin star restaurant as student to support myself through university. We had personalised reservation signs as well, however as soon as the party sits down we would usually remove the sign. In the end it's just a placeholder so that other patrons and the Maitre'D know to keep the table open. The fact it's on the table which clearly was in the end of the evening after the table must have been reset 3 times for starters, main and desert it is obvious this reservation card was placed there on purpose to be photographed.

Now, a handshake that’s too limp or vice versa is off-putting, right? In the digital world, that translates into a cluttered layout or hard-to-navigate interfaces. The solution? A blend of form and function tailored to your target audience, made possible through Canada web design that's at the pinnacle of professionalism and customization.
Content is king, but context is queen, and together they rule the kingdom of effective communication. It’s not just about the keywords; it’s about the story you weave. Content that resonates and engages results in clients falling for your brand, not merely falling upon it. By partnering with a Canada SEO Agency that understands the depth of context, your website content becomes not just a placeholder, but a conversation starter.
And let’s not forget the loading time – that crucial handful of seconds which states whether a visitor stays or strays. Every moment counts in the digital race against time. Accelerate your page speed, and you ignite the afterburners of user experience. Our Canada marketing automation services ensure your website operates like a well-oiled machine, efficient and ready to impress at a moment's notice.
In this era where privacy is prized, our data privacy compliance ensures your website respects and protects personal information, turning trust into an unspoken promise between your brand and customers.
Moreover, inclusivity is no fringe notion – it’s at the forefront of modern marketing. By adhering to web accessibility compliance, your website opens its virtual doors to an even wider audience, reflecting the ethos of equality and consideration. Here's where principles intersect with practicality, showcasing how our ethos at Get X Media (https://getxmedia.com/) isn't just about reaching out, it's about reaching all.
Erring in the digital domain is human, but to align oneself with a digital marketing agency that does more than just 'fixing' – that’s smart business. We invite you to step ahead of mere corrections and embrace a partnership where growth is a given, and excellence is the expectation. Don't let website woes be your business's undoing. Request a proposal today, and let's chart a course towards success.
So, cast off the anchors holding your digital presence back. Navigate past the website design mistakes with Get X Media and relish the online voyage that awaits. Your next port of call? A thriving business with a website that draws clients in, as seamlessly as the tide comes to shore.

Venti from Hoyoverse's Genshin Impact | Semi-selective & Low activity & Low stress | multiship and au/verse friendly! | (18+) | Composed by LB
LINKS: Verses | Ship Bias | Open Starters
Rules/About below
This blog is still a work in progress! Rules are subject to change, most images are placeholders for now, and eventually I'll find/commission a nice theme I like. That being said, if you have questions/I forgot to add something please drop me an ask.
This blog is multiship and multiverse! While I do have my own ship biases, I'm down to rp almost any ship or ship dynamic (crushing, unrequited, established etc!). Just shoot me an ask or message letting me know what you'd like to do!
I am over the age of 18 and will rp content containing mature themes, so I highly recommend only following if you're 18+
If you don't know how to interact, I'll have a couple open starters you can use! for both main canon and other verses! Feel free to use any, including ones other people have used
Replies may be slow! I have a very busy and erratic job in the music industry so I write in the spare time that I have! If you're worried I've forgotten something (which can happen) you can shoot me a message and I'll let you know where I'm at, just don't try and rush me.

Nodejs webp converter
Tumblr media
Nodejs webp converter code#
One problem we run into when implementing this fix is that streams are not directly editable and we have to consume the entire stream first and then concat the chunks into a single buffer before we can start picking apart the bytes. Definitely not at all confusing with which is often used to explicitly copy arrays. copyWithin is similar to the performant memcpy and memmove in C (it even has the same gross type signature) and slice returns a view without copying anything much like the &str type in Rust. total releases 3 most recent commit a month ago. Use this tool to move your animations from stylesheets to JavaScript. Indeed, it would :) How about creating it yourself, by adding the feature to one of the existing. Keyframes-tool is a NodeJs command-line tool which converts CSS Animations to keyframes object suitable for Web Animations API. But if there is a library which can work with both the formats (bmp, webp), it would be great. Thanks, it works (kind of awkward though). Javascript has very efficient methods on typed arrays and buffers that let us move data around without much overhead called copyWithin and slice. One convoluted workaround can be to convert the image first to JPG with a library like jimp and then to WebP. We can fix it by simply moving the last 4 bytes of the image into the 4-7 byte position. This bug isn’t the end of the world for us though. One interesting caveat to this is if the image is small enough for ffmpeg to read in one go without separating into multiple chunks (less than a handful KBs), it doesn’t have to seek back to the beginning and will properly include the file size in the header from the start. (The same thing applies for other file formats that have block sizes in the header like FLAC files). This will likely be fixed in the future by failing with a warning, but as of version 4.2.4, ffmpeg does weird things with webp outputs. I’m not sure why, but instead of warning you that piping a webp output to stdout will not work, ffmpeg decides to go ahead and just do it anyways and adds the file size at the end of the image. Try to see if you can spot where the missing 2e 8a 03 00 bytes might have gone instead of the header. Except when piping to stdout, ffmpeg is unable to seek back. Starter project for Node.js, a JavaScript runtime.
Nodejs webp converter code#
The exact same file looks like this… why?Įssentially, ffmpeg doesn’t know the size of the image as it’s going over it so it uses 4 null bytes 00 00 00 00 as a placeholder and plans to seek back to the beginning of the image when it’s done to replace it with the size of the image it just read. Browse StackBlitz projects using webp-converter, crack open the code and start editing in your browser. $ cat image.png | ffmpeg -i pipe:0 -f webp pipe:1 > output.webp
