Create a global emote called "Goblins".
This is to to commemorate PirateSoftware breaking the World Record Hype Train twice in one week. The community requested I put this up and I am not one to deny them.
The first one happened here at Level 55 + 179%:

The second one happened here at Level 55 + 512%:

This is an absolutely outrageous thing to be a part of and I cannot thank the community enough. You're all amazing and I exist in this place because of you. Thank you for everything.
This would be the image for the emote:

I have been watching this streamer for over a year, not only is Thor very motivational, but he also deeply cares not only for his community, but Twitch too. He is constantly telling people to make games, or just to make things, and that we can do it, and it's never too late or too early, he is extremely inspirational. He also tries to raid different streamers that either make amazing things, or are also trying to do something positive, such as scamming scammers, or an animal rescue, which Thor also runs a ferret rescue, He and his community are the ones that petitioned to get the software and game development category back, and quite a few other user voices in order to make twitch a better place. He also like to tell everyone that when something is broke, or a large company has made a mistake, or something like that, to not turn into an angry mob yelling at the company, but to form an objective argument based on facts. All in all he is very respectful, and always tells his community to be respectful.
As for breaking the hype train record, the first time, it was completely spontaneous, someone had just asked what the record was and said "let's break it" no plan for it what-so-ever. -

Thor the host of the stream piratesoftware head of piratesoftware game development company is a alround great aspiring person whom can and is inspiring alot of of people from multiple generations backgrounds and Ethnicities to development better skills sets and health habits for themself's via game development and some what cyber security even my son is getting in to game development on the art side due to his advice as finds coding boring but loves art even starting to get his own team together to make a game. All from thor's content who he is sharing with friends and has plans to enter a game jam once they all have a bit more experience I massively approve of the gobblin emote as a symbol of thors growing positive influence on twitch but in hope will spread to the world as we need more positive people like thor

Thor(PirateSoftware) has sparked my interest in creating games again while I'm on my journey with making my own 3d Printing store. I created an Etsy store https://lastfrontier3d.etsy.com and hopefully it will grow larger to fund my own game one day. I hope more people like Thor help others to find their dreams and wants. We may be goblins but we support those around us.

The goblin nation is clammering for a global emote of our king Thor!! His stream stands out from all others, he engages, shares, educates and consistently shares positivity whether related to game development or in developing and maintaining a sanctuary for ferrets. For years he consistently streamed and after the endless grind his efforts are snowballing! Acknowedge it!

Good lad. I’m not a big livestream person as I find them quite boring but I could listen to this man talk about anything for hours. On top of that he manages to actually motivate me to get off my *** and keep going down my computer science path so I’d say he’s pretty cool.

Knowing that global emotes get given by great achievements and important events, this emote deserves to exist in the global emotes. Breaking the hype train record twice in 48 hours shows that a lot of people came about to support a great content creator with a positive impact on them and the community. Thor is a down to earth guy who only takes a cut of his revenue that is enough to support himself while donations goes to his mods and the rest of the income goes towards FerretSoftware, the ferret rescue he is running. Further does he try to answer all the questions in TTS, giving advice to people while he's not obligated to. Truly a great person with a great heart

Thor is so **** awesome, friendly, inspiring and motivational that I sometimes have to stop watching his stream so I don't end up trying to become the president of earth. I have been daunted about making my own game for almost 2 decades, but now with the support of this amazing community Thor brought together, I'm on my way to seeing my dream come true. Long live the Goblin King!

I've been enjoying the streams(and mostly the shorts on yt), the emote will be great.

If smashing the all time hype train record twice within 2 days isn't worthy of a global emote, I'm not sure what is. Also, Thor and the goblins banded together to make sure other game devs have a category to call home and help aspiring game devs
Please make this emote a global emote 7777777

This was a very memorable experience to be a part of in my time watching streamers over the years. I never knew there was a hype train cap, nor did I ever expect to see it, let alone be a part of it, twice, in one week.

Such a great community, and streamer. Always so positive, encouraging and understanding to whatever questions or comments the followers have. His advice and encouragement is making me look to expand my horizons professionally and honestly making me believe its possible to do things I didn't think I would be able to do/break into fields I didn't think I could - and I'm 99.9% certain I'm not the only one.
More directly to Twitch, the first and only time I've given money to Twitch was the second time the record was broken - had to help secure a third braincell.
Cheers Thor!

Frankly, I have not seen a more community-involved creator in my life. Thor has the most respect for all people, even those who make some bad decisions. He leads by example as an unbelievably honorable human being. His community absolutely deserves the global emote, especially due to the record breaking activities they've been up to. #buythedemo

Thor is an amazing person with an amazing community, he has helped many people get into (or back into) game development while helping us the best he can with frequent streams mainly where he answers people's questions. I believe he deserves an emote. 77777

I think this would be a great addition to the global roster and a nod to the great work Thor and PirateSoftware has been doing on the platform. Creating a positive community around getting into game development, pushing for the software and game dev category and inspiring so many people to make a start at making something cool.
The two hype train records and his moments growth just show how much of a positive powerhouse he is on and for twitch!

Fellow Twitch goblins, unite! It's time to give the mischievous, loot-loving goblins their rightful place in the Twitch emote hall of fame with a global emote called "Globins"! Goblins are meme gold! Goblins are a versatile emote. We'll flood your UserVoice with votes, spam chat with goblin comments, and maybe even stage a goblin dance party in front of your HQ. We're serious!

Thor is a refreshing sight on twitch. Genuine, Friendly, Caring, Insightful, Humble and Selfless. These traits combine to create one of the most amazing personalities I've seen on stream. This emote would be amazing, and completely deserved!

Thor has inspired me to double down on my content creation, because of this i edited and posted my first few clips and got my first 1k, then 5k, then 10k views on one clip. Truly amazing, and i fully credit this man for that. 777
