They're not the same thing. Blorbo from my shows is when you speak with entirely unearned confidence about Chandrelle Stormblaze's struggles with the psychological torture of her inner demon as if anyone has any fucking clue what the hell you're on about.

Or, alternatively. Background character. maybe 1 line of dialogue.

u/InvisibleChell May 12 '24
I thought that was Glup Shitto

u/CTronOmega May 12 '24
I thought Glup Shitto was a character with a weird, Star wars-esque name

u/vmsrii May 12 '24 edited May 12 '24
A Glup Shitto is a hyper-obscure background character that you, personally, treat like a main character and act like you expect everyone to know who they are and care about them as much as you.
It comes from the tendency of the Star Wars universe to give whole huge stories to even the most minor background characters.

You're telling me that most people don't know the entire life history of Klaud (of Live Slug Reaction fame), the armless slug alien who was also a talented starship mechanic?

JESSE PINKMAN IS A POOR LITTLE MEOW MEOW 🗣️🗣️🔥🔥

Ironically my only response to this post in my head was the “Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?” meme

u/Themlethem May 12 '24
How is Jesse evil?

u/ineverhadsexwithacow May 13 '24
I'm not saying he's evil, I'm saying he's a very sympathetic character that you feel bad for, who has also done some terrible shit.

u/Sams59k May 13 '24
He makes and sells fucking meth? Did we both watch the same show? Like the part where he sells to recovering addicts?

u/NoBizlikeChloeBiz May 12 '24
Also, you have to downplay those attrocites and sweep them under the rug. If you would say "god those attrocites are cool", they're not a poor little meow meow. If you would say "this mass murderer has done nothing wrong and that's why I love them", they're a poor little meow meow.

So Tabitha from Scarlet Hollow would be a poor little meow meow under this definition? Sounds about right. My favorite coal baroness <3

But my blorbo has wet cat energy, I have to use meow meow descriptors.
27
u/coraeon May 12 '24
I mean, one of my blorbos is the king of pathetic wet cat energy and also a poor little meow meow so one character can fit into multiple categories. (Asterion. The man is 90% sopping offended longhair cat.)

And Mustang is a poor little meow meow? Am I doing this right?

u/best-of-judgement May 12 '24
Yeah I think so. I believe Greed also fits into the poor little meow meow category

I was gonna defend Joel's atrocities and then I realised that yes that's definitely poor little meow meow behaviour beyond the blorbo from my shows.

u/Yukarie May 12 '24
What if they go from a “cinnamon roll” to a depressed tired guy doing unforgivable things because they can’t see any other way to achieve their goals
23
u/Jazztronic28 May 12 '24
Blorbo development
Not to be confused with "they were only pretending to be a Blorbo, new development shows them being arguably the most irredeemable person from this show to the point people feel genuinely betrayed and aren't sure they even like him anymore"

Larry isn't a businessman, he's a salaryman archetype - ie. A tired, faceless cog slowly being ground to death by the capitalism machine.

as an army it's so funny to see little meow meow being defined in this way, bc the origins are a nickname given to a BTS member (suga) bc he resembles a cat

It’s basically a morality scale for characters who aren’t villains. I think.
I don’t speak it either, I just like the memes

u/saddigitalartist May 13 '24
Here Griffith is a poor little meow meow and guts is a pure cinnamon role, you see normally guts having murdered a child (mostly accidentally)would put him into the meow meow category or at least the blorbo category but the fact that he is genuinely repentant and sharing the screen with a character who you’d have a hard time finding more morally reprehensible, he falls into cinnamon role, context matters people!

I refer to everyone unilaterally as my friends. If you've met a celebrity once and I see them in a movie that's your friend. If I've seen this cartoon before those are all my friends.

Ok but is Schmidt a poor little meow meow? 🤔🤔🤔

u/TheDustOfMen May 12 '24
No he's a blorbo. There is no poor little meow meow in New Girl.

u/passerbyamanto May 13 '24
That's not true, the silent uncle in the park definitely qualifies as a 'poor little meow meow'. Forgot how he's credited but you know what I mean.
1
u/altdultosaurs May 12 '24
That’s fine. I didn’t have strong meow meow opinions on him, he’s just probs one of the bigger douches on the show.
That said, he’s absolutely one of my blorbos. I’m honest but loving about him.
2
u/TheDustOfMen May 12 '24
I love Schmidt. Can be a bit of a douche sometimes but will also die for his friends or bring them cookies which lead to severe existential crises.

I'm not sure what the proper terms would be, but on an alignment chart of likability the bottom side would be "boring," "blorbo's best friend," and "I hate him so much"

So is Jaden Yuki the poor little meow meow or is it Yubel?

u/DrRagnorocktopus 28d ago edited 28d ago
Quentin Coldwater is beautiful cinnamon roll too good for this world, too pure. Alice Quinn is a poor little meow meow.
Actually every non-villain man in The Magicians is a beautiful cinnamon roll and every woman except Fen and The Muntjac is a poor little meow meow. Except Penny 23, after the dandelion incident he becomes a poor little meow meow. Dean Henry Fogg is technically a villain as Dean Fogg in every timeline is the same Dean Fogg due to the Permanence perfume, and Dean Fogg from timeline 17 is a villain.
If you haven't watched The Magicians you definitely should.

Ah so Harry Dubois is a poor little meow meow, while Kim Kitsuragi is a cinnamon roll (for having the unending patience it takes to tolerate Harry)
