Nathaniel Welchert is a meme, backroom member, and contributor to the SiIvaGunner channel.
History
On December 30, 2012, Nathaniel's mother posted a picture of him on Facebook with the caption "He is such a handsome face and such a HUGE heart!". This is the image of Nathaniel that would eventually become a meme.
A few years later, a Facebook page was created titled "Christian Moms Against Homestuck", which made posts pretending to be Christian mothers talking about the alleged evils and dangers of the popular webcomic Homestuck. Nathaniel was a fan of this page and frequently commented on it. This frequency caught the attention of one of the people running the page, a person who goes by the username Opra Zebb. Opra also noticed that Nathaniel's profile picture was one of Opra's pieces of artwork, so he decided to friend Nathaniel.
Eventually, Nathaniel became an admin on the Facebook page and, according to Opra Zebb, started to post "really edgy shit" that "sort of ruined the page".[1] These posts annoyed many of the page's followers, causing it lose much of its fanbase. Opra then unfriended Nathaniel, though they have since become friends again.
After this, Opra Zebb found the picture of Nathaniel posted by his mother and saved it to his computer. Then one night about half a year later, Opra Zebb was messaging a friend, who goes by the username Bath Soap on YouTube, and he sent the Nathaniel image without context to Bath Soap. Bath Soap found this image very funny, so Opra created an edited version of the image and sent that to him. Opra continued to send Bath Soap edited versions of the image for the rest of the night. Bath Soap then had the idea to create a page out of these edited images, so Opra Zebb created a Facebook page titled "Nathaniel Memes". The two continued share more edits of the Nathaniel image on the page until it was shut down by Nathaniel's mother on June 24, 2016.[2][3]
Along with the Facebook page, Bath Soap and Opra Zebb created a Bandcamp page dedicated to Nathaniel Welchert. On April 27, 2016, a recording was uploaded to the Bandcamp titled "NathanielBound" (now titled "Nathaniel's Mix: Onett"), which was a recording of Bath Soap repeating Nathaniel's name over the songs "Sunset" and "Onett" from EarthBound. The next day, another recording was uploaded to the Bandcamp titled "Nathaniel's Mix: The World of MOTHER", which is a 24-minute long recording of Opra Zebb repeating Nathaniel's name over the entire soundtrack to the game Mother.[1]
On July 23, 2016,[4] Opra Zebb created the Nathaniel Wikia, a wiki dedicated to Nathaniel Welchert. All of the information on the wiki has very little to do with the real-life Nathaniel, but rather of a story that portrays Nathaniel as some kind of deity and the founder of the Church of Nathanielism.[2]
The Varying Nathaniels
"The Varying Nathaniels" refers to the various edited versions of Nathaniel Welchert. Within the story of the Nathaniel Wikia, these edited versions of Nathaniel are clones of the original Nathaniel so that the growing population could have enough Nathaniels for everyone to love all at once. Some of these "clones" have since shown up in a few rips and have become part of the SiIvaGunner lore.[5]
Backroom
In May 2016,[6] Opra Zebb sent an email to SiIvaGunner requesting "Nathaniel's Mix: The World of MOTHER" to be uploaded to the channel as a rip. According to Chaze the Chat, the backroom members were very confused by this recording. Two of the backroom members, MtH and turdl3, wrote out an analysis of the recording and sent it as a reply email back to Opra Zebb that June, claiming that the "impurities" of the recording were the reason why SiIvaGunner couldn't upload it to his channel.[1][7] The email that Opra Zebb received is presented below.
