R/place

r/place was a collaborative project and social experiment hosted on the social networking site Reddit on April Fools' Day 2017 and repeated again on April Fools' Day 2022.

aka random losers went crazy over pixels

## The AroAceAttorney Collaboration

Originally, r/AceAttorney collaborated with r/aromantic and r/Asexuality for r/Place. They originally planned to put a tiny pixelated version of Phoenix Wright on the aromantic flag. The members of plAce Attorney were having a hard time placing (hahahahaha place) Phoenix due to the misconception of other people ruining the flag. The people working on this would send this message to people who tried to fix the flag:

> Hello! I see you're helping with the Aro flag in r/place, which is awesome! But just so you know, r/Asexuality along with r/aromantic and r/AceAttorney are collaborating right now. We're trying to add a Phoenix Wright pixel to the Aro flag, for the pun. This is the discord for the Ace flag coordination. https://discord.gg/Ns8egvV8

> And for the plAce Attorney Discord: https://discord.gg/pXj85TPd I'm just here to ask that you please dont erase our AroAce Attorney 🙂

The members finally had a set time to coordinately strike to make Phoenix but in an unexpected turn of events, people unaffiliated with the collaboration started to put arrows on the aromantic flag, leaving no space for Phoenix T ^ T

## First Canvas Expansion and Hollow Knight Collaboration

April 2, at around almost midnight to April 3 on where I live (idk can't remember), the canvas unexpectedly expanded horizontally. plAce Attorney members immediately took a spot on the freshly made canvas for them to put the tiny lawyer for everyone to be seen. They successfully managed to keep him in his position after the many fruitless attempts they made before. They decided to make a small Miles Edgeworth pointing at Phoenix as well, because, you know, they should be together. Do not separate. They are so gay I love them so much. So cute. They made Maya Fey as well. They also tried to make Apollo Justice and Klavier Gavin but they got erased from existence :(.

Apparently, our lovebirds here are on the way of the plans of Hollow Knight fans. So they decided to collaborate to secure a place (HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH FUCK) on their bench. Maya was separated from the two but she was given a skateboard, a cigarette, and a burger on separate occasions so it's fine.

They gave the "non-canonical pairing" an asexual heart, to commemorate their alliance with the AroAce community, a bisexual flag, because Phoenix is a bi icon fr, and a red heart in the middle of the two. Ghostie and Edd also gave them wedding rings. There was a small Blue Badger under them as well but he got wiped out too. Anyways, enjoy this fanart made by u/DieselIsAlreadyTaken of Phoenix being taken by the void for his sins.

## Second Canvas Expansion and the "Objection!" Speech Bubble

April 3 (in my timezone, fuck your timezones) at around the same time as the previous canvas expansion, the canvas expanded vertically. Now it looks like a really giant square. plAce Attorney members decided to have a part on the new canvas by making the iconic "Objection!" speech bubble. So iconic even non-Ace Attorney fans (aka people with lives) can recognize it. They successfully managed to coordinate and be visible on the canvas for a while.

It was going smoothly until some motherfucker did something really, really, unforgivable.

## Apollo dying too many times

he died too many times, are you sure he's not named phoenix?

One of Apollo G. Justice's too many backstories. He probably died seven times here. He didn't even make it. Rest in Peace short king
