Inspiration

At the end of r/place 2023 moderators of bronyplace were talking about not losing these bonds between the friends we made during r/place 2023 and one of them said something along the lines of "Just because we can't put a rainbow across the globe doesn't mean we can't find other ways to express our friendship towards one another" and that got me thinking if we can't physically stretch a rainbow across the globe why not do it virtually? So that night I started to work on this.
