Funniest responses* to the "What does "Blorbo" mean?" question

(In reference to my silmarillion fandom linguistics project, the results of which you can find in my "survey says" tag)

*not necessarily the full response, some are just fragments from longer responses. Also, I'm not filtering by "correct" or "incorrect" responses

  • Special Little Guy (gender neutral)
  • Lmao. That's like, my special little guy. He takes up my brain space. I'm rotating him.
  • you know how lilo from lilo and stitch has that doll she made, complete with backstory? basically like that
  • one's blorbo is a character one cares a lot about. it kind of has like... condescending or woobifying connotations? like expressing that Maedhros is your blorbo is sort of uh... one imagines like, a chibi Maedhros. cute, not scary. but it doesn't necessarily imply the speaker has distorted perception of the character in general, just a sort of fondness
  • The character a person wants to use as a doll/stuffed animal
  • A character who the author loves too much (and knows it)
  • "OMG Blorbo was in the new trailer for 5 seconds!" is a common statement
  • which often provokes... strange thoughts at 11pm.
  • Beloved character who you think about entirely too much and also enjoy putting in Situations
  • It implies some degress of being pathetic as well.
  • No relation to Blorbo Baggins.
  • The character you put under a microscope, put through the cheese grater, put into the salad spinner, and squeeze like a plushie.
  • A beloved character whom you want to both stick in a microwave and protect with all you have
  • character one fangirls* over (*gender neutral)
  • Just a little guy, whom I am deeply enamored of and just want to squish on the head and see what happens.
  • Favourive character, often pathetic, someone to pity as much as love
  • obsessed. baby. Will run my mouth off about them
  • the word "favorite" wasn't enough to encapsulate "the exact kind of character made specifically for me in the lab" either. my friendgroup started calling those types of characters "callouts" because they were calling you out by existing Exactly To Your Tastes
  • (not necessarily in a way that condones their actions, but deeply beloved nonetheless)
  • The "cinnamon roll" kind. Idk I love Namo but I'd never call him a blorbo, it just wouldn't feel right.
  • ??
  • dear?
  • My personal favourite character, whom I want to adopt even if he's a dark lord
  • A particularly beloved (or beloathed-in-a-positive-way) character.
  • Generally seem to be problematic favs.
  • I think it was originally meant to be somewhat mocking, but it was wholeheartedly adopted and is now used unironically.
  • A favored character that usually is subjected to great amounts of trauma and or fluff.
  • A favourite character, usually male
  • The obsession character
  • Feanor/character you are unreasonably attached to esp. if they are a Bad Person TM
  • The character who is most special and beloved to you (and often that means you're gonna put them through The Horrors)
  • a character that makes you chew on the bars of your enclosure
  • Special little character from my shows(tm)
  • usually having an aura of kicked wet puppy (brimby)
  • You'd build a shrine to them
  • Idk, ask the children 😹. Er. Hot character you like? I'm sure people have very complex definitions explaining why they like the hot character but I don't take fandom that seriously.
  • Your guy (gender neutral), not a comfort character, but perhaps a character you would like to see experience the worst situations possible (affectionate)
  • occasionally blorbo from my floor (my cat)
  • Just a widdle pathetic guy 🥺😈
  • A favourite character, thuogh usually one you squash like a stress ball or squeaky toy rather than put gently on a shelf
  • Ungoliant
  • Guy (gender neutral) who I hold in my hand like a neat rock and look at
  • character whom i will put in a glass and shake
  • character you are putting in the metaphorical salad spinner
  • A favourite character, often a war criminal treated like they did nothing wrong, they are a little kitty
  • (character you're particularly attached to and usually put in physically and/or mentally torturous situations for fun)
  • A character you’ve imprinted on and like seeing in misery. They’re your wet cat you enjoy pouring water on but also toweling off
  • Your favorite character, to whom no harm may come (except in the service of angst)
  • my guy. my friend my buddy. the person
  • Literally your favourite ever character, but not like you want to f*ck them, more like "how much can i let them suffer?"
  • Your favouritest character from media that you like to put in all kinds of situations, but is not morally problematic.
  • favourite character you want to bully
  • a fictional character that you like to an obsessive amount, typically more than other favourite characters; your specialist little guy; someone you are unwell about; you don’t always have to like your blorbo per day but they must take up constant thought space
