The Void started with two large voids right out of the gate, one in the upper half of the canvas and the other in the lower half. The upper void was quickly destroyed by the advancing Ukrainian flag, leaving only the lower void. It performed rather admirably at first, but soon ran into problems. Early on the Void was caught in a costly and ultimately unsuccessful war of attrition against the My Little Pony community, and was repeatedly attacked by rogue purple and white bots. The real killer, however, was the hivemind of "Fuck Spez" texts written by random users that quickly overtook much of the Void's space and split it in two. A small void creature emerging out of the Swiss flag to the right was abandoned as the Void decided to focus on the left half of the Void where there was - seemingly - plenty of space.

Squeezed from above by the rapidly expanding ducks, the Void tendrilled towards the bottom-left, eventually stopping at the Turkish flag. This tendril was soon completely destroyed by streamer Bratishkinoff who made a large art on top of it, covering much of the area in white. Boxed in on all sides and unable to expand, the whole void was soon overtaken by even more "Fuck Spez" texts. Morale of the Void was low, but after a rally the Void re-established itself and headed up and left. This effort proved futile still as the "Fuck Spez" texts would simply occupy the Void's space again and again.

And so, the Void rallied once again, this time to re-establish themselves by emerging from the middle of the ducks, which at this point had grown weak, stagnant, and infested with Amonguses. This void turned out to be a great success, finally escaping from the "Fuck Spez" texts and blacking out a significant amount of territory. At this point, the Void came into contact with Muse for Lina, a memorial for a fan of the band Muse, sparking internal debate on whether memorials should be targeted. Much of the community agreed that the void should not actively target memorials, but many randoms, users who were uncoordinated and didn't know about the rest of the community, eventually blacked it out anyways.

A notable conflict during this time was against the Red Rising community, whose "Lightbringer" art was positioned under the void. It is notable for both the stubborn bravery of Red Rising who kept fighting for their borders for several hours, and the interesting potential agreement that could have been made to avoid conflict - In exchange for Red Rising moving into the upper part of the void, which had been infested by various arts like Jake and Finn, ducks, and Amonguses, the Void would spare them. The desired result was that the Void would remove a significant obstacle in their way and have a barrier to the top to stop encroaching art and flags, while Red Rising would get a new, safe, easy-to-take spot, unbothered by the void. While this proposal was met with enthusiasm by general members of both communities and approved by the Void's leadership, Red Rising's leadership rejected the deal after a long period of deliberation. Any hope of further negotiations now broke down as many voiders believed Red Rising had simply taken advantage of the negotiations to stall and restore their borders. The Void hammered away at Red Rising's borders and after several more hours of desperate fighting, Red Rising finally stopped trying to retake their place.

After dealing with Red Rising, the tendril towards the bottom right curved left to corrupt the Stitch sitting on top of Bratishkinoff's banana and apple artwork. It was here that the first seeds of friendship with the One Piece community were planted, as talks were held in an attempt to stop One Piece from cutting off the tendril with their art. This failed because of randoms cutting it off anyways, but was the beginning of somewhat friendly relations with One Piece. After a while, the void abandoned the upper void which was overrun by small arts, and made a core with a devilish red face on the Stitch. This didn't last long as Bratishkinoff soon came online and drove out the void, causing the void to re-make itself in the former upper void. It lasted for a while before being bombarded with a flurry of blue pixels by a streamer, prompting the void to relocate to a better place.

The first expansion to the right finally raised the morale of the Void, who had been struggling for hours to expand in the tightly packed canvas. After all, the Void always thrived during expansions, when there was plenty of space.

It was with high spirits that the Void boldly spread from the center of the new expansion, but misfortune struck. Streamer Rubius, who had been making red skull themed voids saw the newly created void as the perfect place to put down his new red skull core. After a mere 30 minutes, the new void was completely taken over by Rubius' red skull. Many voiders did not feel that the red skull was truly a part of the community-driven void, as it was made by a streamer, and they were obviously furious that Rubius had simply taken over the void and claimed it as his own. In addition, many newcomers believed that Rubius' red skull ''was'' the true Void, rather than the all-black community void which was smaller and less striking, causing them to join the red skull instead of the void as they believed that it was better than the Void's thus far weak showing. These issues led to a very cold relationship between the Void and the small community that formed around the red skull, both believing themselves to be the true Void and the other to be the impostor.

Red skull aside, the Void still had to go somewhere else, and this time it was decided to make a tendril from One Piece's newly forming "Joyboy... Has Returned!!!" art, which was being made in black. Relations with One Piece had significantly developed into a general friendship by this time, so it was agreed that the initial plan was to go right and split off rather than completely consuming their art, but a hilarious side effect of working from One Piece's art was that the art was temporarily corrupted into a terrifying running knife-wielding demon by void randoms. Eventually the split was complete and the art restored, with One Piece's white circle border merely formalizing both parties' original intentions.
