BittiEssi is used to express cuteness, coziness, or a wholesome moment in chat. The emote depicts a chubby, fluffy cat with an innocent expression, making it perfect for reacting to adorable content, heartwarming moments, or when something makes viewers feel warm and fuzzy. It can also be used ironically or to express a sense of contentment and relaxation, similar to how cats embody a peaceful, unbothered attitude.
Origin
BittiEssi is a custom emote featuring a fluffy orange and white cat sitting on what appears to be a porch or deck. The emote is part of the Finnish Twitch streaming community, as "Bitti Essi" translates to "Little Essi" or "Tiny Essi" in Finnish. This emote was likely created for a specific Finnish streamer's channel or community, featuring their pet cat or a cat associated with their brand. Custom emotes like this typically originate from individual streamers uploading them to platforms like BetterTTV, FrankerFaceZ, or 7TV for their community to use. The exact upload date and specific streamer origin would require checking the emote databases on these platforms, but it appears to be a more recent addition to the custom emote ecosystem, likely within the last few years as Finnish Twitch communities have grown.
