You're Bojack Horseman; there's no cure for that.

Noticing a trend recently in the women I'm enjoying.

Just to clearlify You are not a-moral or evil for not feeling the least bit sorry for Beatrice Sugarman/horseman .

However that doesn't mean that it is evil to feel sorry for her, or that you are stupid for feeling sorry for her or that you somehow ok or pro child abuse just for having emparthy or not beliving she was evil just because she wanted to be.

'Vanilla ice cream.'

'Can you taste the ice cream, Mom?'

a mother’s love

Is that the horse from horsin’ around???

So, I drew this back in October 2021 but only shared it on the BoJack Horseman Reddit - I liked the idea of lining up the diamonds in Bojacks family tree, ending up with Hollyhock breaking away from their family trauma. I only realised after the sketch that Honey doesn’t have a diamond but I still wanted her to be at the top.

Fanart Friday - ICU

More of the lovely Sugarman/Horsemans.

My personal take away from everything seen of Beatrice throughout the show is she did in fact 'love' her son, but only in as much as she could give him...which obviously was not ever enough or even love worth having.

"Promise not to love anyone as much as I loved Crackerjack..."

"Don't cry! Don't you ever cry!"

"Look at you!" - first words said to him.

Why Stella Will Never Be Like Beatrice

I heard in the next season that we will get Stella's backstory and it will be an attempt to make her into the next Beatrice Horseman. However, the problem with that is there is nothing to build for Stella to do that. And so far, all they have done is make her a one dimensional plot device to have Stolas be pitied so that it can excuse his infidelity and protect him for being called out for his shitty actions. With Beatrice, the marriage between her and her husband was mutually toxic and it wasn't one sided as portrayed with Stolas and Stella. Also despite how shitty Beatrice could be the narrative never treated Butterscotch's affairs as justified just because he was unhappily married to her and even more so Bojack catching him in the middle of one his flings was treated as a traumatizing event instead of laughs like in Helluva Boss. If they portrayed Stella and Stolas' marriage as mutually toxic with both of them having been miserable by the system that set them up, then she would have earned being compared to Beatrice. However, all she's going to be is a pale imitation because Vivziepop copies beats of stories she likes but doesn't have the skill to pull off the execution because she misses the point they were trying to make.

'You better be worth all this'

[dongslinger--420]

No I'm not done actually. Morally grey characters in BoJack Horseman are one of the main themes and as a result I don't believe anyone is 100% bad or good. But I think this especially applies to Joseph. I see a lot of videos with him where people comment that they used to kind of like him and see him as sympathetic until they watched Times Arrow or until they finished The Old Sugarman Place or something, but the fact of the matter is that if Joseph were evil, he wouldn't have been happily married. If Joseph were evil, he would've lobotomized his wife at the first chance he got, but the thing that people keep forgetting is that he very specifically lobotomized Honey because she was PROVING TO BE AN ACTIVE DANGER TO THE LIFE OF HIS DAUGHTER. Sure, he only had one solution to this problem, but he waited until the last possible moment to use said solution.

Also, just think about it. A man who tortures the women he's close to, just because he's horrible and never bothered to think how they would feel? We already have a character like that in the show, who is portrayed as a parodic caricature. But a man who is 100% a product of his upbringing, never thinking of trying to be anything else? A man who, despite this upbringing, still loves his wife and daughter? A man who has such a misguided view on how to support said wife and daughter that he believes that destroying his daughter's possessions and lobotomizing his wife is as thoughtful and helpful as teaching his daughter to stand up for herself against her bullies, and standing up for his daughter against his wife?

Spine-chilling.

Beatrice and Butterscotch narrowing their eyes at Bojack when he doesn’t respond to them after they spent the preceding conversation talking down on him. Awful parents, chilling parallels.
