Hey remember when Bojack Horseman - the furry show where humans can have babies with horse people - tackled suicide better than literally any other show could ever hope to and did it perfectly?

The View From Halfway Down

it’s all okay, it would be. were you not now halfway down.

#God I love Bojack Horseman so freaking much and this scene is just art. especially when you know all the details behind it #How his 'dad' is played by the Secreteriat horse bc he was more of a dad figure to Bojack than his dad ever was #how they're played by the same actor bc Bojack is more similar to his dad than he realizes #the grim feeling of being in a room with everyone you know that has died. one of them your fault #how secreteriat cries out that he changed his mind but gets told 'its ok' bc its too late to go back #bc hes already halfway #which is actually accurate given how a lot of people who attempt suicide and survive say they had regrets as it happened #and some get a chance to change their mind and some dont. like secreteriat #and he gets literally pushed down bc he DIDNT want to go when he realize what he had done but its too late #this scene is art and so is this series honestly #I think I only have 3 complaints about it. one that i wish bojack had a talk with Beatrice in this episode like he did with his dad #given how beatrice and her role as a mother was WAY more present in the show #this was all in bojacks mind so it wouldnt be out of character if she said she loved him or cared or was sorry #yeah i wish her role as his mom and how it affected bojack was slightly more present in the end #but other than that this episode was my all time favorite and still is and i constantly go back to it and to this poem #speaking as someone who was once in the halfway down position this brings some bittersweet comfort #in a way that no other show has ever done #and yes it is a furry show. it caters largely to furries who are more into the anthro side #as they are all plantigrade with human-shaped bodies #and dont even have tails which. personally bothers me BUT i acknowledge thats a personal preference #but furry wet dream nonetheless #Bojack Horseman #The view from halfway down #tw suicide mention
