Managed to track down a high quality photo of r/place prior to the destruction for those who want it. May it rest in internet history.
Can someone explain what this is and why everyone was obsessed with it for a few days because I kept seeing it referenced with no context
r/place was an April fool’s event put on by Reddit (first in 2017, then again this year in 2022) where a blank canvas opened up on April 1 where users could place one single pixel, once every five minutes. Pixels would overwrite anything placed in that same spot previously, with the canvas constantly changing in flux. Hundreds of communities and hundreds of thousands of people came together to build incredible pixel art, defend their little swaths of territory on the canvas from griefing, form alliances with nearby territory to protect each other’s artwork, and hide lots and lots (and I mean lots) of amogus characters.
After 3 days of war, fighting bots, twitch streamers, and griefers, this was the final canvas. On April 4th the only pixel that could be placed was white, and the canvas quickly reverted back to a blank slate, with only screenshots like this to commemorate what hundreds of thousands of people came together to create.
Here’s a (hopefully, if tumblr will play nice) even bigger one that one of my friends grabbed.
you can see a timelapse of the whole canvas here. (content warning as there’s some nudity at times) The changes in canvas size reflect the fact that new blank space was added on April 2nd and 3rd. One part of it I’d like to highlight is the minecraft loading screen seen here, which afaik was the only piece which was animated over time (other than the void moving around I guess).
I need to ramble about ideas for THE hypothetical stobotnik confirmation scene I want to see:
- Lee talked about wanting a scene where stone saves “damsel in distress” robotnik, carrying him to safety while explosions go off behind them. So that happens, stone puts robotnik down after a very intense rescue, emotions are high. They stand in the wreckage of some disaster, both unable to speak, just staring at each other. Stone glances down from robotniks eyes to his mouth, he has a giddy “this is it it’s finally happening” look on his face that he can’t hide. Robotnik looks absolutely awestruck with stone’s heroism, and they’re INCHES away from each other’s faces… absolutely going to kiss…stones just about closed his eyes, then robotniks face IMMEDIATELY changes to an annoyed look and he punches stone in the gut and just says “don’t pick me up without asking EVER again.”
- Stone is the big bad in 3 because robotnik is recovering from the first movie. Robotnik feels washed up and useless but stone is just so competent and smart and doing so well executing all their plans, then he has the HORRIFYING realization like “oh I’m terribly, deeply in love with him.” Except his love for stone starts over shadowing his want for world domination uh oh. So stone starts being TOO successful and robotnik struggles with the terrible thought of “damn you’re doing great but uh…shit idk if I want this anymore. I think I just wanna retire to the countryside with you and grow mushrooms and co parent a labradoodle.” The speed at which this personality change happens is STUPIDLY fast because it’s much funnier to me that way. Corny ass kids movie style. “Oh suddenly I am Good™ now because the power of gay love and dumb tropes made me that way”
- I NEED!! a scene in which they dance together!!!!!! I need robotnik to have some realization that he loves stone and is not capable of TELLING him with words so he has to show him in a way that he can actually handle. By dimming the lights, putting on his cutest outfit, trying desperately to fix his mustache into a nicer shape (and failing), then queuing up the “Seducing Agent Stone” playlist to start the second stone enters the lab. He just holds his arms out awkwardly and when stone takes them without question, he yanks stone to his chest and they fuckin slow dance and robotnik DEFINITELY dip kisses him. Or at least he’s GOING to but they’re comically interrupted by another character (Sonic, wade, the entire US government idk ..) and robotnik DROPS him on the ground. And the entire moment is ruined
Or, this crime rat-man is ridiculous and I love him, your honor:
10/10, just thinking about that boat on the lakehouse while waiting for Marcus to stfu

Silco:
For real tho, seeing Vander like THAT put the fear of God into this man, but his little pixilated panic-
“… Huh. I think I’ll have nightmares about something other than drowning tonight, thanks Singed.”
Little bit of a heartbreaker, but his face when he wakes up to an empty, bloody table and no Jinx,I-
Oop-
Instant-regret intensifying
I have to crack up because I am DYING to know how the rest of the scene went:
Did Silco climb his twiggy, slim-jim self up to help Sevika down?
Did he have to explain to his goons why he needed a step-ladder?
Did he just start complaining about his day while she was stuck up there? “Sevika, Vander’s daughter dropped my own insignia on me-!” “Sir, I’m literally hanging from the ceiling.”
Writer: So They Spooned All Night And The Brooding One Allowed Themselves To Feel Vulnerable For The First Time In Years And The Chirpy One Got Some Quality Snuggles
Fluff fans: *GASP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*
Alternatively:
There was only one bed and so they lay there together, only inches apart physically but it may as well have been miles for neither could muster the courage to tell the other the true depth of their feelings and so they lay there sleepless in their mutual pining
Angst fans:
There was only one bed. A carried B to it and gently eased them down. They were both badly injured but B’s conditions were much worse and A wouldn’t rest until they knew B was going to be alright. So A sat down next to B and brushed their hair back, holding their hand as B shivered through the night, their only comfort A’s presence by their side.
Hurt/Comfort fans:
Dear god you’re right, you’re so right
I feel like this needs to be a writing challenge…
How many different ways can you write this one trope.
There was only one bed, but instead of making a big fuss, the tired pair went the fuck to sleep and got a full 8 hours.
My sleep deprived ass:
OH YEAH THAT’S THE GOOD STUFF
There was only one bed. This is normal. They’ve been married for a decade and have a small child. The child has climbed in bed to snuggle with them because thunder is scary. They have their baby curled between them and they share soft, warm smiles over his sleepy head as he snores little kid snores.
Me, who just wants domestic curtains found family fic:
I AM ALL OF THIS I WILL LITERALLY READ ANYTHING
There was only one bed, the two characters argued and bickered begging for them not to have to share it, but they somehow are here still. They agree that there both going to pick a side and stay on it. This was going fine until in the middle of the night A woke up screaming and crying, B gets them to calm down and they end up falling asleep next to each other feeling safe
Enemies to lovers fans
There was only one bed. A noticed B’s exhaustion and lifted them easily. “You don’t have to carry me like a child,” B noted, despite being clearly pleased by how matters were progressing. “I think we both know that’s not true,” A replied with a grin. The bed was warm, inviting, and yet something was missing. “Is this a private party, or can just anyone join,” C called from the doorway, clad only in their underwear and a smile. “Only if it’s you!” A and B replied in unison as they drew the covers back.
My OT3-loving ass:
There was only one bed.
It turned out to be a defective Murphy bed and it trapped them in the wall.
Unashamedly silly headcanons featuring the dream team with little to no basis that I can not fit into a fanfic at the time. In no particular order at all with cherry picking from various Kirby media.
I made some profile pictures of The Guys even though literally nobody asked for them ✨✨✨
