blorbo went from an overplayed and annoying joke on tumblr... to actual incorporation in my (specifically online, specifically with certain pals) vocabulary because it's just... it's such a stupid-useful and efficient way to describe the exact intersection of fondness and absurdity that is, "i am thinking about this character constantly because i love them, but also that involves putting them in the pear wiggler/shoving them in a locker/rotating them in my mind like a rotisserie chicken."

"Favorite character/fave" just doesn't capture all of it.

I hate smol though.

that exact attitude is one of the things that makes the word annoying

so you're mad at the word because the people using it don't take their character seriously enough?

I swear y'all sound like the type of people who think pets should only ever be named shit like "kristina" and "william" because calling your cat "miss fluffbottom" is tantamount to animal abuse

feels like 99% of this issue could be solved by not going on tumblr and unfollowing certain people on plurk, aka taking responsibility for curating your own space

what makes you think people don't

they didn't say they see it every day because they don't unfollow, they said it's annoying

those are two different things

Giving pets normal human names is funnier to me than giving them goofy pet names

My brother has a dog named Johnny, who one of his daughters then named one of her d&d characters after. His full name was Johnny Dogg, the human fighter.

the most comedic possibility is combining both in a skewed ratio, e.g

Mark, Andy, Marge and Scrungus the Decimator

or

Beans-On-Toast, The Duke of Zill, Banana Slammah and John.
