wideSpeedMoon

The wideSpeedMoon emote is a stretched or 'wide' version of the popular SpeedMoon emote. It features a moon face with puckered lips set against a dark sky with clouds. The wide format gives it an exaggerated, humorous appearance that emphasizes the moon's expression.

This emote is typically used to express amusement, surprise, or a reaction to something unexpected in a stream. The wide format is part of a common trend in Twitch culture where standard emotes are stretched horizontally for added comedic effect.

The wideSpeedMoon emote is derived from the original SpeedMoon emote, which itself appears to be based on a modified image of the moon with human facial features. The original SpeedMoon likely gained popularity in Twitch communities around 2019-2020.

The 'wide' variant follows a popular trend in Twitch emote culture where standard emotes are stretched horizontally, which began around 2018 with emotes like widePeepoHappy. These wide variants are typically uploaded to third-party emote services like 7TV, BTTV (BetterTTV), or FFZ (FrankerFaceZ) rather than being official Twitch emotes.

wideSpeedMoon is commonly used in the following contexts:

• When something unexpected or surprising happens during a stream
• As a reaction to funny moments or jokes
• When a streamer makes an amusing facial expression similar to the emote
• During moments of anticipation or suspense
• Sometimes used in spam patterns when viewers want to flood the chat with a visually impactful emote
• As part of emote combinations to create visual narratives in chat
