====Plans====
After the final canvas expansion and a previous failed attempt, Titanfolk, in partnership with Steins:Gate and their neighboring artwork, began work on Floch Forster's face from the ''Attack on Titan'' manga, in which he smiles fiendishly at Hange Zoe. This artwork was moved by PlaceNL, but survived in it's new spot until the great whiteout.
The plan to make Floch started coming together during a conversation following the user and admin 'juic' proposing at 6:29AM EST, April 2nd in the titanplace discord to make a Floch, to which several users posted different images of Floch to be used as the basis of a pixel art. The user 'A certain touhou fan' recommended to use the black and white manga panel of Floch holding up his index finger, which he claimed would be easier to draw than the anime Floch, as the latter would require multiple shades of brown, which did not exist at the time on r/place. At 7:07AM EST, admin 'Snow Fox' finished and sent into the main titanplace chat a pixel art version of the manga panel 'A certain touhou fan' had posted, with a size of 30x45 pixels.
 
====First Attempt====
Around 12:25 EST, the canvas had expanded for the first time, at which point several users recommended to actually begin work on Floch, although many said to maintain and fix Eren before trying anything else. At 1:05PM, 'H-K_47' posted a plan for Floch with a top left corner at 1800,14. At 1:25PM, the Dutch flag on the Northern border crossed in from the West, and quickly covered the entire Northern part of Floch, causing the first attempt to be over less than 30 minutes after beginning.
 
====Second Attempt====
After the final canvas expansion, Titanfolk, in partnership with Steins;Gate and their neighboring artwork, began work on Floch Forster's face from the ''Attack on Titan'' manga, in which he smiles fiendishly at Hange Zoe. This artwork was moved by PlaceNL, but survived in it's new spot until the great whiteout.

Titanfolk, who's r/place efforts on Discord went under the community name Titanplace, is a popular subreddit dedicated to the anime and manga series Attack on Titan (Shingeki No Kyojin in Japan). The subreddit is mostly focused on the manga and is known for the majority of it's active userbase being critical of the story's ending.

Artwork

Eren Yeager

Main article: Eren Yeager

"The Real Eren" is Eren Yeager's distressed expression from a panel in the Attack on Titan manga's final chapter. This particular expression has become a meme within the Attack on Titan community. Eren would later be accompanied by a speech bubble containing his iconic quote from the chapter, and the name of Titanfolk's subreddit, "r/titanfolk". This artwork survived until the Great Whiteout.

Floch Forster

Main article: Floch Forster

After the final canvas expansion and a previous failed attempt, Titanfolk, in partnership with Steins:Gate and their neighboring artwork, began work on Floch Forster's face from the Attack on Titan manga, in which he smiles fiendishly at Hange Zoe. This artwork was moved by PlaceNL, but survived in it's new spot until the great whiteout.

Chibi Floch Forster

Main article: Chibi Floch Forster

Chibi Floch Forster was a small, chibi-style artwork of Floch Forster from Attack on Titan. He was built on the Rainbow Road, but did not last long as the road destroyed him, despite communications having been made in attempts to ensure his safety.

Bot Use

Eren Anti-Grief

On the final day, Titanfolk began openly utilizing a small amount of bots to help maintain Eren Yeager's most contested facial areas. Eren's eyes and mouth in particular were under constant attack, and so these were a focus point for the community to defend before the canvas archived.

Floch Relocation by PlaceNL

PlaceNL forced Titanfolk's Floch Forster mural to relocate, and in doing so, added a template of Floch to their "bot army" to ensure his immediate relocation. This, in turn, assisted Titanfolk in defending Floch against an attack by French streamer BarnaBestPasOuf, who had wanted the popular Jujutsu Kaisen character Gojo in his place.

History

Titanfolk's r/place efforts began with a Reddit post asking which character the community should create on the canvas. It was generally decided that Titanfolk would create Eren Yeager's distressed face, and so a piece of pixel art was created that would become the base template for Eren.

Soon after the canvas opened, the Discord server "Titanplace" was created to help members coordinate efforts. Throughout the event, this server grew to over 1100 members. After the canvas closed, the Titanplace server became a general Titanfolk server, and all r/place specific channels were archived.
