The 'My Beloved' meme, often associated with a heart-shaped locket or a dramatic pedestal, is used to express exaggerated affection for a specific character, celebrity, or niche hobby. While the concept of a locket featuring a loved one is timeless, the meme gained significant traction through a specific scene from SpongeBob SquarePants where Squidward looks at a photo of himself, though it has since evolved into a versatile template for any fandom. Users typically place an image of their 'beloved' inside a shimmering heart frame, often accompanied by elegant text. It serves as a digital shrine, satirizing the way internet subcultures obsess over their favorite icons with ironic or genuine adoration.
