'''Placeholder''', also known as '''place_holdrr''' or '''p_h''', is a proficient [[Symbols for Legacy Computing|SLC]] artist who tarnished their reputation in 2023. They were exposed for having 3 alts, and for making and spreading NSFW art of [[lime.owot]]. Placeholder has since expressed guilt over their past actions and continues to make art on and off, though they are still distrusted by much of the community. Notably, however, lime has largely forgiven them and acknowledges that they've become a better person.

Boo was supposedly a girl who makes ASCII art, known for roleplaying as a ghost.
Placeholder has stated he never was Boo but one day he realized she disappeared and started impersonating her.
As Boo, Placeholder created an OWOT radio named Boo's Beats, which acted as a precursor to [[Lime.owot#lime.radio|lime.radio]].

Placeholder said in 2025 that Laserlime was created with the expressed purpose of ruining Laserdude's reputation, so that he would no longer be pressured to maintain the persona within the community.<gallery widths="200" heights="200">

=== Gunpowder ===
Gunpowder was an alt that Placeholder used to interact with the community following the Laserlime drama.
This account was primarily known for [https://ourworldoftext.com/CommunityProjects /CommunityProjects], which became [[World of the Day]] in June of 2025. The world worked by presenting users with a prompt and having them vote on a list of descriptors. After the conclusion of voting, Gunpowder/Placeholder would then make a drawing based off of the winning descriptors.
So far the prompts have been "gun" and "sword," and users could vote on things like the gun's trigger type or the length of the sword's handle.<blockquote>''yeah gunpowder was just an experiment of mine''
''just wanted to see how owot would react if given options to vote''
''sort of like a democracy''
''didnt really see it done before so i did it''
''was really fun i might do it again sometime''</blockquote>

He took on a lower profile after the Laserlime drama, and presumably left the site for a significant amount of time. In June/July 2025 he created [https://ourworldoftext.com/CommunityProjects /CommunityProjects] under the guise of Gunpowder, and in September 2025 he made a formal return to making art on the [[/|Mainpage]].
 
[https://ourworldoftext.com/place_holdrr /place_holdrr] holds an incomplete archive of his drawings.
