StoryTime

StoryTime is used when viewers want to indicate they're ready to listen to a story, explanation, or lengthy narrative. It conveys the message 'I'm settling in to hear this' or 'go ahead, tell us the story.' The emote represents an attentive, interested audience member who is prepared for a detailed account of events. It's often used to encourage streamers to share anecdotes, explain situations, or provide context for something that happened. The comfortable, seated position of Pepe suggests the viewer is getting cozy for what might be a longer explanation or entertaining story.

StoryTime is a variant of Pepe the Frog, a popular internet meme character. This specific emote originated from the broader Pepe meme culture and became popular on Twitch around 2016-2017. The emote features Pepe sitting comfortably in a blue beanbag or chair with his hands raised in an attentive, listening position. It was created as a custom emote for various Twitch channels and later became available through third-party extensions like BetterTTV (BTTV) and FrankerFaceZ (FFZ). The design intentionally depicts Pepe in a relaxed, engaged posture that suggests he's ready to hear an interesting tale or explanation.

StoryTime is commonly used when: (1) A streamer hints at drama or an interesting event and chat wants to hear the full details, (2) Someone mentions something intriguing happened off-stream and viewers want the complete story, (3) A streamer is about to explain a complex situation or give background context, (4) Chat is encouraging someone to elaborate on a brief mention of something interesting, (5) During 'Just Chatting' streams when streamers are sharing personal anecdotes or experiences, (6) When viewers are settling in for a longer explanation or storytime segment. It's essentially the chat's way of saying 'we're all ears' and showing engagement with narrative content.
