rvdRun

The rvdRun emote depicts someone running or moving quickly, used to express urgency, escape, or rapid movement. It's commonly used to indicate 'running away' from a situation, rushing to do something, or fleeing from danger or awkwardness. The emote can convey both literal movement (like when a streamer is running in-game) and metaphorical situations (like wanting to escape an embarrassing moment or controversial topic).

The rvdRun emote originates from Twitch streamer RvdVaart, a Dutch content creator. The emote features a side profile of someone in a running pose, wearing casual clothing (appears to be a hoodie). This type of custom channel emote was created for RvdVaart's community and represents the streamer or a community member in a running animation. Custom channel emotes like this typically emerged in the mid-2010s as Twitch's Partner and Affiliate programs expanded, allowing streamers to create personalized emotes for their subscribers.

rvdRun is typically used in the following contexts:

• Escaping awkward situations: When something cringe or uncomfortable happens on stream
• Fleeing danger: When the streamer or a character in-game is running from enemies or threats
• Rushing/hurrying: To indicate speed or urgency in completing tasks
• Dodging controversy: When chat wants to avoid or 'run away' from a heated discussion
• Spam during chase sequences: When exciting pursuit scenes happen in games
• Leaving quickly: As a playful way to say goodbye or exit a conversation
