The TikTok Invasion refers to an influx in Pxls users brought on primarily by TikTok videos made by flromp, a TikToker with more than 50,000 followers, during Canvas 28. It lasted throughout C28 and C29; the sheer number of new users brought chaos and unpredictability to the site.

The TikTok users had no centralized leadership, only following rare basic instructions from flromp when he made TikToks; it was commonplace for TikTokers to fight against each other during a battle. Eventually, some joined existing Pxls factions and the rest left the site.

Rather than specific "battles", the TikTok Invasion is remembered for its invigoration of the Pxls playercount, drawing hundreds of new users to the site, as well as the chaos and unpredictability it entailed.

Timeline

Battle of Red Sans

On his first TikTok, flromp tells his viewers to grief the sans that was being built and make it red or just grief it in general. at first the sans is made completely red, then its rebuilt and there are several tries to go over it, in the end of the canvas, pink pogs ends up covering it all with pink and a "pink pogs" text.

Effects of the TikTok Invasion

• Hundreds of new players were brought to the site, many with the intention of griefing and voiding. This led to a wider sense of unpredictability and chaos on an already-chaotic Canvas 29.
  • A direct result of this increase in voiders was the creation of the faction YOIB, which was originally made to act as a countermeasure to them.
  • Many art pieces were griefed, and in severe cases, outright destroyed by the TikTok invaders.
• Some players from the TikTok Invasion stuck around to join or create their own factions, fully joining the main Pxls community.
