A fictional beloved character, making fun of fandoms latching onto random side characters without knowing much about them, or just trying to talk to someone about a rabbithole aspect of a niche interest: blorbo from my shows. Sometimes a Star Wars character, though another fake beloved character glup shitto specifically makes fun of weird Star Wars names. Created and popularized on Tumblr in 2022. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/blorbo-from-my-shows
