Blizzard

## Origins and Introduction

Hello there, my name is Spicy Cherries and I am joined by fellow cool guy Orf to discuss the topic of Blizzard. In today's article we will talk about the famous moderator, streamer, and religious leader known as Blizzard. So let's start from the very beginning...

Blizzard was an avid member of the Big Marsh chat and Discord server (or at least that's what we can assume with Marsh handing them the role of moderator on both Twitch and Discord). Blizzard is (objectively) the best moderator of all the platforms Marsh resides on. Blizzard would launch off from their dead-end job doing dirty work for Big Marsh with his various, scattered streams. Unfortunately, due to Twitch's tendency to delete streams after two weeks, these original streams have been lost to time and classic Blizzard streams are no longer available to the public. Up until that point, Blizzard was mostly a lurker to most chat members, however their streams would change all that. Fame was to come upon them amongst the underground community of the already small Big Marsh community.

## Streams

Blizzard's streams showcase the first signs of rebellion and disillusionment when it came to Big Marsh. The first streams by Blizzard would involve now esteemed members such as Orf, Spicy Cherries, and even Big Marsh himself. Blizzard would initially stream games that could be found on the Dolphin GameCube and Wii emulator. Often streamed games would be Mario Kart: Double Dash, Pikmin 1, and Pikmin 2. Chat would characterize Blizzard as cool (because he was) and would begin saying that the streamer was better than Big Marsh. Blizzard would eventually expand their catalogue of games to include indie game Don't Starve, open world RPG Sea of Thieves, Enter the Gungeon, Spelunky 2, Terraria, and others we may have forgotten to mention. Despite that, Blizzard would still be known as the king of Pikmin and their streams would mainly be based around the franchise. Now, with that in mind, it is best to mention how Marsh was considered inferior. The first example of this being when Marsh decided to do a little thing called Pikmin Week...

### Pikmin Week

Pikmin Week was a set of streams Marsh would do in which he attempts to speedrun games in the Pikmin franchise. Big Marsh would speedrun the game horrifically and would be humiliated by chat. This would be in total contrast to Blizzard who, not only streamed Pikmin, but also speedran it occasionally. Although this idea was likely recommended by chat, they absolutely hated it and would say the idea was a mistake. Chat likely wanted to see Big Marsh's Super Mario 64 speedrunning skills put to the test when in another game, yet they were obviously disappointed. This can be seen as evidence of chat slowly devolving and beginning to hate Marsh over the course of many streams. It gave Blizzard more street cred and made many break away from Marsh's chat. Chat members like Lotsaspaget, Melon, Asmurfy44, and many others would claim that Blizzard was the better streamer in comparison to Big Marsh. This would start of a trend of other streamers being considered infinitely better in comparison to Big Marsh. "Mom, can we have Blizzard?" "Honey, we have Blizzard at home." \*Big Marsh comes into the household\* Marsh would not even catch a break when he tried streaming Pikmin Week part two with Blizzard because Marsh still sucked ass.

Blizzard has slowed down with streaming as of recent and has gone almost completely silent. They have been spotted around the Big Marsh community infrequently.

## Important Lore

For someone who barely streams, Blizzard has tons of lore. This is mainly from chat members Spicy Cherries and Orf deciding to make many in-jokes and role-plays. This section will be a list as opposed to the previous sections because it would be really hard to talk about in paragraph form. This will be formatted like an Iceberg tier list with the most well known topics at the top and the lesser known ones at the bottom

Blizzard\_Plus: This is Blizzard's username on Twitch.

Tiny Gamers: This is the name of the chat members who occupy Blizzard's streams. Marsh has stated publicly that he hates Tiny Gamers many times, which lead to more Big Marsh hate.

Breadbug: Breadbug is a character of Blizzard's streams that was plucked straight from Pikmin. Breadbug would become a symbol of Blizzard and would even spill into Big Marsh's content. Big Marsh initially found out about Breadbug from the Breadbug Gif that was made by Spicy Cherries (yes I'm involved with a lot in the Big Marsh community). The gif was intended to be a follow icon for Blizzard but would later just become a general meme.

Peter Plant: Peter Plant is the name for Petey Piranha made by Spicy Cherries during one of Blizzard's Double Dash streams. It is a name based on the post-ironic humor that floats around the internet and the name brings to mind the character of Peter Griffin from acclaimed show Family Guy with a plant body.

God status: As shown throughout most of the article up until this point, members Spicy Cherries and Orf have adopted Blizzard as a religious figure. Blizzard has been considered to be the Messiah bringing about the truths foretold by the almighty Breadbug who has been seen as god. Whether or not this is a real religion or just a joke has never been specified.

Pikmin Eye Quiz: During an average stream, Blizzard would bring up the Pikmin eye quiz and chat would become obsessed with it. Spicy Cherries (look I'm very involved in Blizzard's streams) would say that he struggled with the eye quiz and found that he could barely do it. Blizzard would be surprised by this because the Pikmin Eye Quiz was relatively easy. Chat would continue pushing the perception of it being hard and would reference it often.

Louie: During an average Pikmin 2 stream, chat would find out about a character in the game called Louie and when Blizzard explained their actions, chat became enraged at the fictional character. In the game, Louie would be a character similar to Olimar and would help the Pikmin, but it would later be revealed that he intentionally screwed over Olimar and the corporation Olimar works for. People would be visibly angry at the character's betrayal and say things like, "Fuck Louie".

The Bridge Sentence: During various Pikmin speedruns, there was a segment where Blizzard would have to send a batch of pikmin to a certain bridge, which had a high risk of them being left to die. This became a running joke on the channel as chat members would mourn any pikmin that was sent to the "bridge sentence".

Book of Breadbug: This relates back to the god status Breadbug held within chat. It was proposed that at a convention for the religion of Breadbug, a limited number of copies of the Book of Breadbug was distributed amongst attendees. The book contained the holy scripture of Breadbug and is considered a scared relic. The religion of Breadbug is pretty self-explanatory and the convention was a meeting of like-minded Breadbug believers.

Big Marsh comment: On an early Double Dash stream of Blizzard's, Big Marsh would enter chat to showcase his support for the up-and-coming streamer. After a while, Marsh would be caught soliciting Blizzard (a minor at the time) live. He would type, "xDD Anytime Babe (Twitch Smiley Emoji)" and attentive viewer microwavedwater would call out by stating, "MARSH IS SOLICITING YOUNG CHILDREN". This moment would be screen-shot by Spicy Cherries (because of course it was) and would be shown to Marsh again almost a year later. (I must legally state that Big Marsh was not actually soliciting children, it was merely a joke based on his comment towards Blizzard.)

Spicy Cherries Shrine Breaking: During yet another average stream, Spicy Cherries would make reference to a shrine he held in the name of Breadbug. He would later state that he found that the shrine had been broken and suspected Marsh and his goons to have been the perpetrators. Marsh would deny the allegations, but would reveal that he was in fact behind the shrine being broken. Chat members such as Orf would call out Marsh and Blizzard would even attend one of Big Marsh's stream and discuss it briefly.

The Marsh Squabble Incident: During a stream, Blizzard had decided to play a competitive version of "Wordle" known as "Squabble". On one fateful round, as Blizzard was stumped on a word it soon became apparent that the word was "Marsh" all along, Blizzard's long time rival.
