dream streaming for the first time in a month just to go to r/place and try to destroy all ads because 'ads aren't art' is absolutely my favorite thing. imagine having 85k viewers and you utilize them to fuck with capitalism. no one does it like him.
Foolish: Oh! That's a fun little guy. What's that? Is that like, a caterpillar? Is that a cat?
Rubius: What - it's not a cat, it's Titi!
Foolish: Titi?
Rubius: Yeah! It's the main character from Karmaland.
During r/place last year, Rubius shared some Karmaland lore with Foolish (in the midst of many a Discord calls between allies and enemies as the pixel war waged 😅). Karmaland V was the server Quackity was part of before he began QSMP, and Titi, the little alien tree creature Rubius and Foolish have this discussion about, is believed to be the inspiration behind QSMP's Egg.

Foolish: Is it like your little bear guy? Your little Minecraft character?

Rubius: Titi, come back! Over here!
Rubius: Don't do it, Titi.

Foolish: No! Right, fck! No, that's right! It's not a cat!
Rubius: It's an... alien tree. An alien tree. [To his chat] He keeps calling him a cat! It came from inside a friend called Staxx. He was pregnant, and this came out of him.
Foolish: Ohh. Wow!
Rubius: Yes.
Foolish: That's- that must've been intense.
Rubius: Yeah, a little bit. [Laughs]
Foolish: And- and that was your... like, became like your kid kinda? Or like a- you were like an uncle for it?
Rubius: Yeah, I'm his... father because I was the only one taking care of him.
Foolish: Ohhh, but then you did a bad job and he died?
Rubius: No, I- I- no. He died because he saved us.
...Is this kind of post even something you can do on Tumblr ?
Anyhow, you’re probably familiar with r/place.
Last year, i was co-leading the group that created a Chara on r/place (We even got a shoutout in a Jackspepticeye video :D)
This year, i have been forced to watch idly by as something pretty awful took place. I’ll try and make it short.
The “void”, a swarm of empty black space that spreads around everywhere consuming the canvas, is actually unable to fight any of the bigger structure that use bots and cheats to keep themselves up this year. Due to all these projects being ready sooner and with more preparation.
So instead, it just goes around left and right, destroying the “”easy targets”” of the tiny pixel art works of small communities who spent days trying to create them in their tiny corner of the map, and ignores all the poorly made botted artificial creations, the plain flags which do nothing but to waste the available space, and ruin the spirit of the event...
Basically, it only targets the kind of art that r/place was actually supposed to be about making, and which are now a tiny minority this year.
Yesterday, it decided for some reason to make another beeline of 200+ pixels forward just to go destroy 3 small independent artworks, including one of Undertale. It was just a small wholesome pixel art of Frisk and Chara based on this image. And which had only just been finished 15 minutes before after having been in the works for days.
The people behind it , quite determined, spent the entire night, without even sleeping, trying to fight that void off in order to save their artwork from being destroyed for nothing but funsies, only to be overrun just right now and that was just awful to watch unfold in real time. There is almost nothing left of their art now aside from some people from the “void” making fun of them for trying to resist their swarm...
So well, if anyone reading this wants to go and try to help them save it or rebuild it, it was located at -90, -800. It isn’t difficult to do, just making one click once every few minutes makes all the difference. Or you could also join their discord server at : https://discord.gg/Cex9DwdP if you’re interested.
I hope that whatever amount of clout i have can bring them a little support after this... Watching this happen from just makes me feel awful and i felt like i needed to do or say something about it.
So I’ve been fighting tooth and nails to immortalize nepeta on the new session of r/place. (it’s a super fun painting arg hosted by reddit for april fools) and look!
SHE’S FINISHED!
anyway, I should’ve just asked you guys to help instead. sorry. Better late than never, though!
watching r/place is beautiful, there's trans flags fucking everywhere and the big one has been a constant since i first saw it, the landscape is evershifting, the site of the hogwarts logo got covered by the trans flag before having what remained consumed by the switzerland flag before it was converted into farmland, there's so many amongi, sans is there with komaeda, hooty owl house is chilling next to anne amphibia
r/place is so fun?! Our Bluey art has been looking really good today. We just have to defend it from trolls who want to put random pixels all over it, and from Bluey fans outside of their discord who think they are helping but don’t have a template so they’re just changing it to make it what they think it should look like. We made an alliance with the My Little Pony sub to the right of us. They got attacked once today so we helped them bounce back. Then they got attacked by some streamer and their viewers who just wanted to destroy things and they had them wiped out in moments. And then they put a giant Bulbasaur in their space. Like… if you want to destroy something in r/place for the fun of it, then destroy one of the many many flags that are way larger than they should be.
My Little Pony started rebuilding with our help tonight, which is after new colors were added, so they look better than they did before. They still have to fix their background, tho.
