Brown Pixelstuck, stylized as Imagine Pixelstuck, but brown, yeah that's what it is. on-site, is a faction that makes art featuring the color brown based on the webcomic, Homestuck inspired by the other Homestuck-themed faction, Pixelstuck. It was founded by Onion77 during Canvas 90 as an Anti-Swarm discord server called the Squiddles Swarm Destruction Device and later rebranded to its current name during Canvas 91, the same canvas where the faction made their first artwork.
History
Canvas 90
During this canvas, Onion77 created an anti-Swarm discord server called the Squiddles Swarm Destruction Device (SSDD), inviting many prominent placers that are against or have been critical of Swarm. Onion claimed in the server to have plans to destroy or place over art made by Neuro-sama's Swarm in Canvas 91. These statements were interpreted by many as being stated in jest, as no significant action arose from the claimed plans and pro squiddler, Fisk stated that the faction wasn't "going giant or on top of swarm" in contradiction to the faction leader's claims.
Canvas 91
During this canvas, SSDD placed the cover of Homestuck album, Squiddles!. The art was initially positioned in the top right corner of the canvas' tail, but was later moved to the canvas' right leg in an area bordering the Cell Lattice due to an overlap with Neuro-sama's Swarm.
SSDD also placed multiple "mini squiddles" in areas near art by the Swarm over the course of the canvas, one of which was placed over with art by the newly formed Crelly's Herd faction, another mini squiddle was placed in the Swarm's emote box and was later covered by the :neuroSuperior: emote, the rest of the mini squiddles were later covered by the Swarm's background art.
Later in the canvas, Onion77 established an in-game faction named Pixelstuck, identical to the existing faction of the same name but distinguished by a Chocolate-colored tag. Following this, the SSDD discord server was renamed to Brown Pixelstuck. The in-game faction was later renamed to Imagine Pixelstuck, but brown, yeah that's what it is. in response to concerns raised by Defensive_Lobster about the potential for diplomatic confusion with the original Pixelstuck faction.

Canvas 92
Brown Pixelstuck's main art for this canvas was originally defiddled by Pebble for the main Pixelstuck faction, but Brown Pixelstuck was given permission to use it.
During the canvas, after the faction was finished with their main art and had fully restored it from the earlier unhelpings. The faction placed Jade Harley between the disembodied legs of Minato Aqua, which was placed by the NPom collab.
While the Jade artwork was being placed, 3 placers from the NPom collab began reverting its pixels due to Brown Pixelstuck placing Jade directly inbetween the legs without any gap between the artworks. The Arsonists and other volunteers assisted Brown Pixelstuck in placing their art in response to the dispute with the reverters. The artwork was later finished by the Brown Pixelstuck-led coalition around a day after it was announced as by then, the reverters had ceased their operation.
On the 13th of August, the Jade artwork was raided by Neuro-sama's Swarm. They modified the art to give Jade a grinning expression, and a held up sign saying "#1 SWARM FAN". They also replaced the parts of the Jade artwork that were touching their art of Aqua's legs with the surrounding Green Lattice, and gave the remainder of the piece an aqua outline. The Swarm finished making their modifications to the artwork 42 minutes after the beginning of the raid.

Brown Pixelstuck unhelpings
Main article: C92 Bee raids#Brown Pixelstuck unhelpings
During the canvas, pixels on Brown Pixelstuck's art that were originally placed by defenders of the Sabrina Carpenter bee art were later replaced by those same users with azure pixels, imitating the initial state of the canvas. The bee defenders claimed that they were retracting their prior support to Brown Pixelstuck in protest of prominent members of the faction, including Onion77 assisting The Arsonists in the C92 Bee raids.
It was later clarified that this response stemmed from a misunderstanding, as the bee defenders believed the entire faction was participating in the griefs, due to Onion and Fisk (a major contributor to the raids) both having the Brown Pixelstuck in-canvas faction tag equipped during the attacks.
The unhelpings lasted 7 hours resulting in the bee defenders having successfully undone all of the pixels that they had contributed to the faction. The unhelpings climaxed 6 hours in with Brown Pixelstuck having lost approximately 1,800 pixels of progress at the time. The faction completely restored their art 21 hours after the unhelpings concluded.
Canvas 93
During this canvas, Brown Pixelstuck's template had three artworks: one of a radio squiddle, defiddled by Defensive_Lobster; one of Jade Harley holding up a sign saying "Pull Neuro's Plug"; and one of Wayward Vagabond (The Mayor) holding a pumpkin, also defiddled by Defensive_Lobster.
Despite pro squiddler & de facto second-in-command, Revenge666 being online during the canvas reset, Brown Pixelstuck was not able to establish their final claim until 2 hours into the new canvas. The faction was able to claim this location by having their artworks of Jade and The Mayor slightly overlap with Edge Gang's King of Snowgrave art in collaboration with Slim FiddlE and The Yellow Line, due to the faction collab's loose policy on overlapping arts.
Prior to the final claim being established, Revenge666 had adjusted the placement and orientation of the artworks three times due to overlapping with other factions. During this struggle, he briefly conceded in trying to claim for the faction, releasing the following statement explaining the situation to members of the faction, in which he calls Onion "slightly incompetent".
"Due to lack of space, overclaims, and our slightly incompetent leader, Brown Pixelstuck will not be claiming a template on this canvas. We may later decide to attempt to go over one of these mentioned overclaims to get space but for now brown pixelstuck will plan on our next moves (most likely more shenanigans) thank you for your time. stay brown"
- Revenge666
The sign on the Jade Harley art was originally planned to say "#BeheadNeuro", raising concerns about the sign violating the "No obscene or sexual wording and/or topics." rule among the community. Onion77 claims that he contacted Pxls Administrator, Zephyr about the sign and was given "explicit permission" by them to place it. Later, the planned text on the sign was changed to "Pull Neuro's Plug following a request by the moderators.
During or prior to the start of the canvas, Brown Pixelstuck acquired the vassalage of three defunct Cell Lattice-inspired factions: Dark Cells, Hex Cells and Skinny Cells from Opal. For this canvas, Brown Pixelstuck only brought back Skinny Cells, making their lattice for the canvas a version of Skinny Cells' lattice in shades of brown, with the newly restored vassal's core being placed to the right of the Wayward Vagabond art.
On the 3rd of September (9/3 in month/day date formatting), 12 days into the canvas, Onion77 announced that the faction's logo would be changed temporarily "to pay respects for 9/3 canvas [sic]". The new logo is a satirical image showing Pxls moderator, Temriel's ego as larger than the RMS Titanic. As of the time of writing, the logo has not been changed back.
