I'm curious about the seemingly random text that appears in the "Source" field of posts taken from Pixiv.
For example, post #1417494 says this in the "Source" field:
Source: pixiv/fm59
Where does the "fm59" come from?

It's due to the fact that the source in question is a pretty old one (http://i2.pixiv.net/img46/img/fm59/35673338.jpg).
Danbooru automatically converts certain sources to human readable ones, but these methods have been updated and have piled over the year as pixiv and other sites changed their image url format, so there's been little to no effort historically to make them all render in the same way, because danbooru too is a project in active development.
For your example, it comes from the pixiv's stacc url (https://www.pixiv.net/stacc/fm59). At the time it was probably decided that was the best way to render the url for users.
Incidentally, a couple of days ago albert has started rewriting and unifying the source framework (issue #3805) so this might be the perfect time to also unify how pixiv sources look, given they're currently all over the place. I'll leave a comment in that pull in case this detail was not considered.
