#maude bjhm

Things are calmer this week so I hope to be able to do more requests I still have here :D

While I don't finish them, what I have to show are those very random bjhm drawings lol

The two in the middle are obviously redrawns. The second one also is, but of one of my favorite frames of the whole show (I just love PB's expression)

queers of bojack horseman (and some headcanons) :)

Do you headcanon Todd Chavez as aroace? He says he's romantic ace, but I relate to his experiences so much and it seems like he's quite resistant to romantic things, even when they're nonsexual. And just because he wants a significant other does not necessarily mean he is a romantic little guy.

TV shows and Hollywood (Hollywoo?)'s idea of aromanticism is very... um imperfect and I worry that writers may call characters like Todd non-aro without actually understanding what that means. End of the day, he's a fictional character, and real and fictional people can identify however they want... but he seems very aromantic to me. Am I projecting or do I have something here?

Disclaimer: it's been a while since I've watched the show all the way through, so I may have forgotten some important things.

tbh, i do headcanon Todd as someone who's also under the aromantic spectrum and i think him and Maude have a QPR. I think the asexual representation is amazing in BJHM but it would've been great

My thoughts on bjhm ships:

Todd X Maude: yeah they’re cute together. Glad Todd was able to find an asexual partner and someone who really understands him and is good for him :)

PC X Judah: they’re cute together. Glad PC was able to find someone who helped take care of her in return and understand her and her drive for work and was good for her

Diane x Guy: yeah they’re cute together. Glad Diane was able to find someone who is good for her and helps take care of her and inspire her to get better. And understands her and her struggles (more than mr peanutbutter, tho he tried) but also doesn’t feed into them (the way Bojack ended up doing). Overall it’s just really sweet and wholesome

Bojack x Herb: AKSNAKSBAJZHJS. The. THE WAY THEY. Aixbskbsjsnaks. Them🥺

in light of the final trailer finally dropping, i should finally post some of my bojack season 6 part 2 theories/predictions/guesses/hopes/etc.

warning: this gets very long!!! also, spoilers for everything, obviously.

the moore-carsons have to return. in fact, i think it’d be really interesting if the cold open of the first episode in part 2 was about charlotte. after all, there’s going to presumably be a flashback to bojack during the time when he was friends with charlotte and herb...

given that season 6 overall opened with a flashback to sarah lynn’s death, maybe season 6 part 2 will open on what happened in the moore-carson house after bojack left penny and charlotte behind? since those are the two major incidents that part 1 set up to bite bojack in the ass. however theyre also not anywhere in the trailer, meaning they might not physically show up, or maybe something about their appearance would be a huge spoiler.

we also see bojack return to the club where he did stand-up during the 80s. this is probably what triggers the above flashback. maybe this ties into the charlotte thing too, as mentioned above?

that scene of bojack with the letter from hollyhock has a lot of people talking, with how last season ended and how his hands shake holding it. interesting that it’s a letter and not a phone call or online message. this leads me to believe something physical must be in the letter, like money or some sort of memento or personal record. or maybe she just wants to be old-fashioned. it seems there is some issue b/w hollyhock and bojack because there’s an empty seat when he invites her to some sort of show he’s in, maybe with his wesleyan students. (also diane looks very unamused, even though she and bojack ended on a good note, which feeds the idea that this is after bojack did something bad or something bad about him came out. also, who are all these people in tuxes? are these waiters? is this tied to mr pb buying elefante?)

i actually believe hollyhock will learn about maddy but not about penny, and bojack will assume she knows about penny and forget completely about maddy. this will lead bojack to realize something i don’t think he really has even after all his development: he needs to care about the people he hurts who were never close to him, because they’re still people even if he didn’t want their attention and didn’t “lose” anything in hurting them.

many people have noted that doctor champ isn’t a legal therapist and thus might not be under disclosure agreements, which leads me to believe that he will release information about bojack out of pure spite. i also believe maddy could be doctor champ’s daughter, which would give him even more reason to hate bojack.

however i believe that if everything about bojack does come out...the public won’t really care. it feels within the show’s nature to make a story about how “cancel culture” doesn’t really hold up well and how people will learn about a celebrity, but not care about what they did as soon as some other news overshadows it, and the celebrity won’t really lose anything in their career most of the time. bojack will suffer personally but his career won’t suffer as a result of being “cancelled.” this might actually send him spiraling and maybe he will try to convict himself or something, if he’s still at that level of self-punishing behavior.

something really interesting is that bojack is talking to biscuits braxby, the host of the talk show where he and gina covered up the strangling story. the fact this is the person to whom he’s dumping all his angst...concerns me. is he coming clean about that? does gina know he’s coming clean about that?

speaking of gina, i think she will connect with kelsey after all, maybe even work on the movie. i think kelsey will see past the hollywoo bullshit and suspect gina isn’t being given a fair chance. idk if it’ll work out but it feels in-character for her. i just really hope we see more about kelsey’s movie and i hope it’s a success.

somebody else had to point this out for me to notice, but bojack appears as a...corpse?? in an episode of birthday dad. this means he must lose his teaching job somehow, or at least goes back to acting in LA during his break.

on the subject of mr peanutbutter, i have a lot of thoughts about where his plot is going to go. for a while i thought pickles was going to leave him for joey pogo because of how episode 7 seemed to imply mr pb would set them up and joey is a lot like mr peanutbutter except close to pickles in age and spirit. i assumed this would send mr peanutbutter into a deep depression due to being truly alone for the first time in his life, which would ironically get him fired from making speeches about depression because he becomes unmotivated and irritable, which are symptoms of depression considered “too ugly” for the mainstream (bjhm is just the show to drop that sort of message on us). however, this theory is muddled by both this and the netflix january trailer showing them still together. so if the above does happen, it probably won’t happen right away. (maybe pickles will propose a polyamorous relationship but mr peanutbutter will feel actually jealous?)

and while i don’t like the bojack suicide theory at all, if i have to pick a main character to die, i would put my money on mr peanutbutter, or at least that he’d get really badly hurt after putting on an impulsive grand gesture. his path in life is self-destructive and reckless in its own right, and when he loses everybody, i think he’ll lose himself. i picture him waiting outside diane’s old apartment not realizing she’s moved away for good, possibly getting sick on the sidewalk, hachiko style. however i’m not married to the idea of killing off any character.

on the subject of diane, i really like that we’re seemingly getting more focus on her issues again, and we get more art styles to demonstrate her angst. this one actually resembles the teenage diane from “the dog days are over” which means it could be a flashback. more info on diane’s childhood!

i also think guy’s son is going to muddle things for diane. as good as guy treats her, the son seems to be a major issue with guy, and diane has made it clear she doesn’t want kids so any long-term commitment probably won’t work out. i do hope things don’t end badly for her, and i really hope she doesn’t run back to mr peanutbutter or bojack. maybe she’ll take time to focus on herself and finish that book?

another interesting turn would be if maybe diane’s book ends up being about something that makes her happy rather than something that she thinks is important but stresses her out. or maybe she finds people who will listen to her and actually help her make change in the world, maybe not immediately, but in the long run.

as for princess carolyn i think her plot seems pretty straightforward. the only thing that seems to be implied is a stronger relationship with judah. i wonder if he’ll move in with her, since he’s in her apartment in one of the trailer scenes? she also goes to see him play in a band which seems to suggest we will learn more about judah and PC will get to know him as a person. i wonder if they’ll tease the idea of them as a romantic item, but i don’t think that would stick, though judah is a great man. (maybe we’ll learn he had a partner all along, or maybe he’s aromantic, or maybe he simply doesn’t want to date PC and make things weird knowing how her other work romances blew up in her face.)

as for todd, i’m wondering what’s up with his mom. i wonder if she gave him shit for his asexuality? all we know is she kicked him out of the house and he has some issue with her that makes his sunny attitude sink very quickly. i’m assuming she must have been cold and judgmental towards him like bojack used to be, but maybe even moreso. she probably wanted him to be more serious or something and he couldn’t follow through. i assume she’ll recover fully from her ailments (because they probably don’t want to try to top free churro) and maybe try to become close to todd again through some zany adventures (maybe tied to the reason she was in a coma). i feel like it won’t perfectly work out, though. todd and his father might be able to become closer, though.

i don’t know why margo martindale is threatening todd either, maybe she needs him for a caper? that’s bound to be wacky. imagine if margo is somehow tied to his mother?

todd’s bunny gf looks adorable, and i hope this relationship goes well. i notice maude has some family pictures up and i wonder if her being a rabbit will be relevant, because of the stereotype of rabbit families being so big. maybe her parents will want her to have kids but she’s unsure because she’s asexual. maybe she and todd will evetually have kids through nonsexual means, like adoption or sperm donation, if only because he’s so great with ruthie and the exploration earlier in the season of his family relationships might add some fuel to an arc about him as a father. however i wouldn’t die on this hill, though i do feel like maude and todd will work out.

in fact, i noticed todd is in formal wear during part of the promo and a lot of people from todd stories are there like emily’s firefighter boyfriend and the assistant from when todd was a ceo. initially i thought maybe this was a wedding party but then i realized maude is in the background talking to princess carolyn. i wondered if maybe this is for the peanutbutter and pickles wedding. however since todd is schmoozing and mr pb is giving out drinks, i think it must be something tied to both of them, so maybe a pb living related party?

(the following shot has pickles in formal wear but mr peanutbutter isn’t, and pb looks sad, so she’s going somewhere fancy without him which interests me, maybe connected to the above “pickles tries to date both joey pogo and peanutbutter but pb is jealous and depressed” theory)

i have a feeling they’ll do a time skip of substantial length for the final moments of the show. something that show’s bojack and his friends’ legacy or lack thereof. we can see an older ruthie, and how hollywoo changes, and how people remember bojack if they even do. it could end very bittersweet this way. but that’s just a wild guess, lol.

Like I said some posts ago, I can’t stop thinking about Bojack Horseman and I truly believe this show changed my life.

I drew so many fanart for this show I have no idea how I’ll post everything. The first two pics are the first thing I ever drew about it, it’s even weird to look at now.

[lakesparkles]

If I remember it right, this was my first AU for Bojack Horseman (or should I say Bojack Humanman...?)

I’m SURELY not the first person to swap their species, but I thought it was worth to try my version! Until today, cat Diane is still one of my favorite things I’ve ever drawn.

[lakesparkles]

What are your favorite ships/relationships in bjhm?

….. My favorite ship is Diane and Mr Peanutbutter and I'm totally serious about it, unfortunately. I know they're kinda bad ??? but they're the most interesting couple I've ever seen (tbh I love complicated relationships the most). Their plot was my favorite part of the whole show and, even after season 4, I loved every single scene they had together. Especially their last call omg it's probably my favorite scene of all. It made me create an entire AU of what could've happened to them after the show's finale. But, you see, Diane is my favorite character and I think Guy was great to her! For the first months I was into the show, I wanted to draw the two more, but I was afraid people would get the wrong impression that I disliked her and PB. Until someone messaged me "Diane has two hands" and this changed everything. So yeah, I've been shipping Diane x PB x Guy for a while now. I'm even doing a small comic for them right now lol Outside of them, I like most ships tbh there are not many I don't like. I think I only hate, like, two couples there. The canon ones are mostly very good (I'm a big fan of Maude x Todd and PC x Judah) and I surely love some non canon ones: PB and Guy being my favorite (even if they never even interacted lol). You also opened my eyes about Bojack x Herb hehe I also have a long list of my favorite platonic relationships of the show, but I guess my answer is too long already,,
