#celia watches bojack horseman

[marigoldbaker]

something about bojack finally throwing mr peanutbutter a bone in s6 (pun intended) is so heartbreaking to me? that bojack has been a caustic dick and a horrible friend to this man essentially for decades to the point where just casual baseline kindness — playing along and doing a “crossover episode” — sends mr peanutbutter over the edge into intense overwhelmed delight. obvs mr peanutbutter is in this forever state of arrested development which is its own thing but he does love so easily and so wholeheartedly. he’s literally just a dog. and bojack has been kicking that dog for twenty years

bojack telling princess carolyn she’d be a good mom at the end of the beatrice horseman season scooped my heart right the fuck out of my chest. Thanks

princess carolyn and judah are getting to me again!!!! so often the natural consequence of her obsessive desire to Do It All is her losing track of things and forgetting really crucial and important aspects of her responsibilities, which is why it’s so meaningful and sweet that more than once when we see that happen with judah on call he presents an immediate solution. he is the one person in the world doing for her what she does for other people, except with him it is coming from a place of deep love and admiration for her as an individual, rather than pc’s own need to care for others when she feels like her own life is out of control

the framing of bojack as horse professor giving senior superlatives with diane and princess carolyn quiet in the wings (in his office waiting to work out what to do about the horrors he’s trying to sweep under the rug, again) hits really hard i think. the way they both smile very lovingly at his little jokes and make eye contact with each other here and there and both kinda roll their eyes very affectionately when he can’t find his cue cards. that these are the two women who got him to that point by loving him that much. backstage. offscreen. ready to talk through how they’re going to handle that fucked up thing he did to a woman.

[marigoldbaker]

genuinely obsessed still with bojack and diane’s relationship and how apparent it is that they work well together and have from the jump — how she has this intense obsession with Being Good and Doing Good and the same deep seated convictions as bojack that there is something rotten within her — how she like bojack will pull horrifying shitty underhanded moves with people from a place of self righteousness — but how, crucially, she’s constantly making deliberate efforts to grow and change even when it’s uncomfortable. he violently dislikes mr. peanutbutter’s oblivious sincerity and she aspires to it. marries it, even.

idk if it’s just hitting different because of where i’m at but man the horrorterror of someone so intelligent, with the capacity for such goodness, who has such intense compassion and who feels so deeply, just constantly making selfish people-shredding shitty choices that hurt everyone they love, stuck in this perpetual cycle of regret to the point where loving them becomes actively and demonstrably dangerous even though the love would be reciprocated if that love was possible. it is simultaneously comforting and heartbreaking to watch

[marigoldbaker]

yes i did cry during the last scene im only human

the chicagoland area jokes are hitting a little different this time around :’)

something about bojack being so much like his mom is always going to hit me where it hurts man. seeing that spark of bitter caring good within just the most fucked up circumstances ever and how there really is the capacity for good in everyone but you have to be able to self reflect and come to terms with what you’ve done and who you’ve hurt

[marigoldbaker]

princess carolyn being more and more uncomfortable and miserable around bojack in the season where she has an infant daughter hits a little different with me.

judah responding to princess carolyn trying to get him to choose playing his show over working with her w/ “when a man loves a—” and subsequently assuring her they’re talking about film titles. man. Man

[marigoldbaker]

pc and judah are never not gonna get me lol

[marigoldbaker]

i’ve been watching bojack (as it was recommended to me by my best friend) and princess carolyn’s struggles are just TOO familiar to me even WITHOUT finding out she has a terrible and irresponsible mom who heaped responsibility upon her from an early age

[marigoldbaker]

THEM PARALLELING IT IN THE NEXT SEASON WITH HIM SARCASTICALLY AND BITTERLY TELLING HER SHE WOULD BE AN “AWESOME MOM” !!!!! because she isn’t paying enough attention to HIM!!!! because of heartfelt off the cuff advice HE GAVE HER to prioritize herself!!!! really drilling in the cruelty of his inconsistent kindness. he says what he feels in the moment. the now is all that exists to him and holding him accountable for the past is making the present really a bummer…

bojack telling princess carolyn she’d be a good mom at the end of the beatrice horseman season scooped my heart right the fuck out of my chest. Thanks

[marigoldbaker]

the part where diane corrects mr peanutbutter about what is and isn’t in chicago and he goes AH you ARE a chicagoan !!! this is not actually a watch thoughts post this is just me realizing after a day out with my friend that i’m actually starting to feel at home here bc i do that too…

the chicagoland area jokes are hitting a little different this time around :’)

[marigoldbaker]
