Blorbo - Blog Posts
sick and tired of templates being made by shitty people/being unfun so heres my cringe character template i ran out of ideas for halfway through
i want to be a vampire so bad. it would open up a whole new world of procrastination. puts off finishing a novel for 100 years. i don’t do the dishes for 20. oh wait i don’t have dishes because i suck blood. another fucking win
Studying (reading) my tomes (comic books) to expand my esoteric knowledge of the universe (Batman lore) so that I can form my own ideology (put my blorbos in situations)
Happy bem the fifth on the sixth. Love these BemBem Boyfriends.
You may have one Marius Von Raum, As a treat 😌😌
Being haunted by the thoughts of the blorbo lore once again, feels like one of those Scooby Doo chase scenes, where do these damn doors lead
Blorbos in my head:
Also my blorbos:
yes but how do you rotate your blorbos in your mind? do they spin upright like a top? are you slowly turning them like a rotisserie chicken? do they oscillate wildly? are they orbiting each other like planets around a star? are they doing barrel rolls?
[tl;dr]
the universe does not revolve around you. now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.
heard someone say archive of our own should install a "dislike" button and I thought I should say this: no, there's absolutely no need for archive of our own to install a "dislike" button.
why? because archive of our own isn't tiktok or youtube or twitter/x where users can monetize their content. archive of our own is a nonprofit site run by fans for fans, which means every content — every fanfic — you see on archive of our own was made out of pure love and passion from the artists/authors.
ao3 authors write because writing about these characters is their happiness and passion. they write for themselves, but they were generous enough to share with you their creations.
they're not "content creators" the way tiktokers or youtubers or instagram models are. they don't "make content" for views and engagements that can be monetized.
so no, you don't get to "grade their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.
you don't get to "say what you dislike about their works" unless they specifically and directly ask you to.
you don't get to "dislike" works that are not made specifically to please you in the first place. you're just a guest in someone's house, a house in which they let you in because they were kind, you don't get to roam around their house and say what you dislike about their furniture. you don't get to roam around their house and say you "dislike their house".
of course, you can have your opinion about the house its host invites you in. but if it's a negative one and you find yourself not liking the house, the polite things for you to do is excuse yourself and leave without telling them you dislike their house.
and just because you personally dislike the house doesn't mean the house is "ugly" either. the house you dislike could be a favorite, most luxurious place to many others.
my point is, don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that you get to enjoy for free. don't be entitled by wanting the rights to voice your disapproval of things that were made out of love and passion — things the artists made for themselves for fun.
it makes you look like an entitled jerk with main character syndrome. the universe does not revolve around you.
now repeat after me: don't like don't read. no one forces you to continue reading a fic you don't like. quietly leave instead of being rude to authors who write for free because writing is their source of comfort.
people are so used to contents that were made because it's a trend / contents like tiktok that were made with the main purpose of reaching high engagement and making profits that they forget sometimes things can be made out of love and be made just for fun. sometimes things are supposed to just be for people to enjoy, and if some people don't enjoy them, then they can simply leave without being unnecessary unkind.
A little piece I worked on for my little Shelly. (Major inspiration came from discord pfp formatting)
Here is a Shelly who has become wise in the ways of the broom
The inspiration behind the little bandana is the Clean copy ability. She got so good at being a janitor, that she earned the powers of a broom hatter (The ally wears a bandana on its head). Now, she can pull all sorts of cleaning tools from inside her shell, and sweep up any mess: even flames and fissures! :3c
One of my first blorbos. No, I think my boy here is my very first blorbo that I gave a story to. To most everyone here, meet Morningstar for the very actual first time. I’ve never had enough faith in my artistic ability but I was finally able to bring him to life thanks to a paid commission to @lostsoulau-ask who was kind enough to work with me on this project. In-depth loreigins are something I do intend to post, albeit separately, but the gist of this blorbo is he is the leader of an oc race that had lost the primordial struggle between the evolving squid and octopus based on the nautilus cephalopod. They retreated back to the sea and, as time passed, were forced from their home and had to seek refuge in the sewers and abandoned tunnels of Kamabo Co’s deep sea metro. With the divergence of their evolution, they still evolved a human form, but without any adaptation to ink instead of water. Once again, huge shout out to @lostsoulau-ask for letting me see my son
Got issued a challenge yesterday and had to think about it a bit, cuz in the Kirby universe, there aren’t really creatures that are JUST some silly noodle. My first thought was the whip ability enemies, cuz Shelly has stretchy, elastic powers as a noodle. Unfortunately Wester is very much a dood, and Whippy’s tail doesn’t seem elastic enough (plus whippy being a cat might be too far of a stretch than I want to make). The closest match to Shelly’s stretchy elastic self was Needlous: a spiky little bug thing that curled up and rolled around. I’ll probably say it’s like a cousin of Needlous called Noodlous and when Kirby inhales it he will get the whip ability.
Behold! My Shelly. A blorbo that I can’t quite seem to shake free from. She’s an assertive, sign-spoken tentacle first thought up in a Splatoon AU, but I’ve found that the idea of a character that is literally an elastic noodle fits almost everywhere. Shelly’s current hobby is janitorial duty between bouts at fighting arenas; and while she doesn’t usually make the messes that she cleans, she’s not afraid to mop the floor with someone’s face.
My favorite fictional characters fall into two categories, those being
1) I want to delicately pin them up in a display case as you would a butterfly in order to study and preserve their every feature and trait and shield them from The Horrors™️
2) I want to put them in a prescription bottle and shake them around
last comic for now bc school started :((

A new gradient technique I tested out that I think I like. Nima with a more neutral expression.
Nima sits somewhere between fanchild and og character these days depending on what universe we’re talking about.
*literally anything happens in my life* omg what if my blorbos did that
Everyone please say hi to my newest blorbos
people need to realise that a poor little meow meow must be a character who has committed atrocities you cannot poor little meow meow a good guy that’s not how this works

You ever like a character in such an odd and likely autistic way that a small piece of your psyche takes their shape and now your minds-eye envisions your body as theirs and you catch yourself mimicking their mannerisms and trying to act similar to them. Or like. Are you normal.
"My comfort character hasn't had a day of comfort in their lives." Weakling. My comfort character has spent their entire life making sure nobody ELSE has a day of comfort. Ascend to my level and meet my challenge or dissipate, worm.
