CAN'T SEE BECAUSE THE DOG IS BARKING

Summary

Peppah, otherwise known as Bibi or Common Pepper and sometimes disparagingly called The Rat by chat, is the pet dog of Forsen and his partner Nina.

According to her Instagram @commonpepper (which is managed by Nina), the Yorkshire Terrier was born on January 8th, 2018, which makes her 8 years old as of 2026, and is female.

In Forsen's older streams circa 2018-2019, Peppah was a had a familiar presence where she would often bark to make her presence known to the streamer and the chat, and where Forsen would often show Peppah's face to the Bajs, hence the often spammed phrase in chat SHOW BB .

After a long hiatus from the stream and on her Instagram, on April 29 2026, Forsen finally showed Peppah once again on stream for the first time since 2020 as promised after selling over 5000 shirts.

Adoption and Puppy Years

Peppah was born on January 8th, 2018, but wasn't revealed to the audience until April 10th 2018, on stream and on Instagram one day later.

On the April 10th stream, Nina states on stream that the couple had originally planned to adopt the small Yorkie, but the place where they got her from couldn't take care of her and gave her away to the Forsen household as a birthday present to Nina.

Peppah's Instagram account

Exactly one day after the puppy was showcased to the audience, an Instagram account was started in honour of the new member of the Forsen family.

Managed by Nina, the account centered around Peppah's daily life. This would include things such as walks in the town, playing in the park, trying out new looks, sleeping, getting tasty snacks (otherwise known as 'Schmackos') for being a good dog, and most frequently, looking cute in front of the camera.

The account's activity was at its most frequent throughout 2018 to early 2020 and then subsided alongside Nina's social media presence, with the last post being on March 29th, 2020. The Instagram account is currently inactive and/or archived until further notice.

Peppah's Instagram account became a beloved part of the Forsen fandom. Bajs would frequently save and reshare the posts of the small Yorkie on Reddit subreddit r/forsen, for example, and make memes referencing Peppah's supposedly fatal fate, darkly joking that Forsen killed her, which would explain her sudden disappearance from the stream's post horse-incident.

No other social media or separate Twitter account exists beyond the current Instagram account, something that reflects Forsen's private personality.

Health

Peppah's health has seen no major long-term issues, but has had some cases of scares as reported by Forsen on his Twitter account.

First scare being just 8 days after the then just months old dog was revealed on stream in 2018, where Forsen announced that there would be no stream that day as Peppah wasn't feeling well and the couple was currently at the vet.

The second mention of a sickness came on January 6th, 2019, where he mentioned that he and Nina would have to take turns sleeping.

Perhaps the biggest scare of Peppah's health would be on May 14th 2021 when Forsen had to call off the stream early because Peppah suddenly became sick and had to be taken to the vet, leaving many Bajs worried.

Another time where Forsen had to leave leave stream early was on 21st of August, 2022.

Behavior and appearance on stream

Peppah's behavior and training have some notable quirks as noted by on-stream appearances.

As per its race, Yorkshire Terriers are very playful and energetic, and the Rat is no exception. During the height of the regular Peppah appearances from 2018 to 2020, Bibi would habitually wander around Forsen's Stockholm appartment which her small footsteps were often audible on stream, as were her very loud and unexpected barkings, which would send the twitch chat into a frenzy whenever it happened. This frequent background presence spawned many inside jokes, emotes, copypastas, and even the sub-emote :forsenBB: which is still a staple of the Forsen Bajs subcommunity in chat as its close resemblance to the classic forsenE.

These frequent earshattering high pitch barkings would at times cause Forsen to lose his god-gamer focus and have to pause the stream to handle Peppah.

Please noteis that the ultra-high pitch screaking at the very end are edited in post and not from this stream.

Before the horse incident of November 2020, Forsen would periodically show Peppah to the audience infront of the camera, either by his own accord or when the chat would spam SHOW BB .

The Tape Incident

Perhaps the most famous and viral Peppah moment to Bajs and non-Bajs alike was on a Nina stream in 2019.

Nina was having a very normal stream one day in March 2019, talking to the camera was per usual for a Nina stream, when the chillingly stopped in the middle of her sentence as she noticed something was wrong, and Peppah, who was in the room with her, got eerily quiet in the enclosure.

Nina immediately went over to the enclosure to check the situation, as soon as she called out her name, Bibi let out many piercing and panicking yells.

Having no idea what was going on, Nina's twitch chat was genuinely worried about the incident and spamming as the event was unfolding, although unseen, as her gaming chair was obscuring the scene.

As soon as Forsen heard the screams, he rushed in and went into the dog enclosure. This help from Forsen seemed to calm the dog down and the screeching turned to whimpering, to finally a quieter and calmer sensation.

,

This is most likely both Nina's and Peppah's most viral moment within the Twitch community, and in the now-deleted and archived LivestreamFails post on Reddit, many users were worried that the dog might have seriously hurt herself on something or even died.

Luckily, it was just a small overreaction by Peppah, and it turned out her foot had been caught on a piece of duct tape.

On stream hiatus and return

Peppah virtually disappeared from Forsen’s broadcasts in late 2020 through early 2026, coinciding with his Twitch suspension for the Horse Gif incident. During this period, Peppah was only heard barking occasionally but never seen on camera, and her continued existence became the subject of fan speculation and memes on stream and on his subreddit. The hiatus ended on April 29, 2026, when Forsen fulfilled a promise and finally showed Peppah live on stream after selling 5,000 merch shirts.

Background hiatus context

In late November 2020, when he got an indefinite suspension from Twitch over the now-notorious Horse Gif incident, Forsen seemingly moved his streaming setup to an entirely different room and installed a green curtain behind him. This event coincided with a lot of changes in Forsen and Nina's personal life and privacy behavior, as Bajs noticed that Nina, especially, had become more withdrawn from public life and deleted both her Twitter and personal Instagram account (although @commonpepper was left untouched).

Around this time, Peppah's previously noted presence on streams had totally vanished as Forsen moved rooms. He stopped answering questions regarding both Nina and Peppah and kept the cameras fixed on himself and on gameplay. When asked about Peppah's current state by chat and multiple spams of SHOW BB, Forsen simply brushed it by saying that she didn't want to be shown on camera again due to the chat's unkind behavior towards her and calling her a Rat and ugly.

Although her face wasn't appearing in the frame anymore, by 2023, Peppha's existence was once again proven when Bajs heard, on multiple occasions, muffled off-screen barks in the distance and faint footsteps in the same room.

This was for first confirmed by a clip that was uploaded to r/LivestreamsFail which garnered over 1.4k upvotes, proving that the dog's presence was missed by Bajs and non-Bajs.

During the long hiatus of radio silence from Forsen, many fans speculated that "Peppah died long ago" and that Forsen got rid of his own dog himself (alluding to the dark but memeable insane asylum joke amongst the community).

Still, it was deemed impossible to hide Peppah forever from the community by mid 2023, it was not unusual to hear her faint footstep enter and roam around Forsen's greenscreen room. Coincidentally, the regular barkings returned and at times, this led Forsen to either pause his gameplay or leave the room during YouTube links reacting to help Peppah find her way out of his room.

Subsequent return

The long on-stream hiatus ended on the last day of his 2026 T-Shirt merch sale on April 29th.

When viewers started demanding to SHOW BB as they usually does whenever muffled barkings could be heard off-screen, Forsen looked at the amount of shirts sold, and as Peppah entered the room Forsen left his gaming chair.

The merch sale proved to be a huge success as he sold over 5000 shirts in just 14 days. Excited about this milestone, at the end of the stream when the sale was over, Forsen went out of his room. When he came back, fans noticed that he had a small Yorkshire Terrier in his arms whom he was talking to quietly as not to stress the dog.

This reveal was short, but for dedicated Bajs and longtime viewers, this was a big deal as Peppah had not made an appearance on stream in approximately five years and prior to the Horse Gif Incident.

Finally showed BB

Community Impact and Legacy

Although Peppah was never intended to become a major part of Forsen's daily streaming content, she gradually evolved into one of the most recognizable figures associated with his community, The Bajs. What began as an occasional background appearance eventually developed into a long-running piece of community lore across multiple eras of Forsen's streaming career and captured our hearts.

Her appeal stemmed largely from the contrasting detached and ironic person Forsen has. Compared to Forsen, Peppah is small, (mostly) quiet, and shy. Minor cues such as her barkings, footsteps, sneezes, and content on her Instagram immediately became recognizable to longtime viewers.

After disappearing from streams around 2020, Peppah's absence from generated years of speculation, conspiracy memes, art, and recurring dark jokes such as "Peppah died long ago" and "Forsen killed Peppah" spread across Reddit, Twitch chat, and Baj compilations. The "tape incident" is still frequently reposted across websites and has become a famous soundbite within the Baj community.

Bibi's almost five-year hiatus unintentionally amplified her importance to the community. Old clips, videos, and Instagram posts garnered much nostalgic attention as her vacency to the streams was deeply missed. Her eventual return was widely treated as a historic community moment as clips of the sudden appearance spread across LivestreamFails and YouTube, ending years of fan speculation and yearning to see the cute Yorkie once again.
