#that one bojack horseman quote

[aquietweirdo]

First listen to: MAG 151 - Big Picture

Simon Fairchild is such a fun character. The way he just strolled into the archives, laughing quietly to himself. I’ve been waiting to meet this guy since I heard his voice actor do the ad reads in s1. His voice and how he carries himself gives off a certain lightness. It’s that carefree attitude that I’d like to see more of.

There’s something hilarious and heartbreaking about what Martin and Simon said. Martin says that their time on earth matters even if it ends one day. It reminds me of that quote that people use when talking about the finale. The love was there. It didn’t change anything but it mattered that it was there, something like that. Simon responds to that statement in the same way that I’ve always thought about that quote. He says that it’s a lonely way of looking at things.

Simon’s viewpoint makes sense for how he is. It’s easy to be so carefree when the world is devoid of meaning. How scary it must be to love, knowing that love will one day end. How brave it must be to love despite knowing that. I often find myself in the middle of those two viewpoints. I know that the finale will be beautiful but, if I were in their shoes, I couldn’t help but wonder if any of it was worth it in the end.

looking to the sky and only seeing 6-7 stars when there are billions being drowned out by city lights is so bleak. i can either live in an urban area full of potential people like me, people who i can love fully and befriend, or live completely isolsted but with the comfort of a sky full of stars.

My two cents on Jayce's final speech

While I do not consider myself disabled, I have chronic health issues that are sometimes disabling. And I'm used to having to live my life with that in the back of my mind. Not in a self-hating way, simply pragmatically. I need certain medications and technology in order to function in a way I find worth living for. While I certainly don't speak for the entire disabled community, I'm not unfamiliar with the struggle™.

TLDR: they really, really needed a sensitivity reader or disabled person's input. A for the idea, F for the execution

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You've always wanted to cure what you thought were weaknesses. Your leg."

Jayce: *breaks leg* *leg can now no longer support his weight* *builds brace to compensate for leg weakness* *proceeds to shame Viktor for wanting a permanent fix for his own leg issue*

"Your disease."

Last season, when Viktor's disease was actively killing him, Jayce got Heimerdinger voted off the Council so Viktor could keep researching what Jayce himself joyfully admitted was a potential cure. How hard did this man's head hit the bottom of the pit?

But you were never broken, Viktor.

Why is Jayce the one getting to say what is and isn't broken? Broken is literally defined as "damaged and no longer in working order". The man was in chronic pain, visibly wasting away before our eyes, and born with a body that was not functioning as it should. Viktor describes his body as "eroding". He has never said that it makes him feel bad about himself as a person. Even when he called himself a cripple, its one of a list of obstacles he’s had to overcome to get where he is now. He isn't ashamed, he's proud. And Jayce is inspired by it enough to not to give up on his work. Or his life.

Side note: Some neurodivergent and disabled people use the term broken in a non-offensive way. For some, its a reminder that they the *person* are not broken. For others, its simply a fact of life they adjust to. But that doesn't mean other people get to label them as such.

"There is beauty in imperfections."

Sure, in the same way they used to call tuberculosis "consumptive chic" because it made you pale and thin with red lips. Death isn't beautiful, its devastating.

"They made you who you are, an inseparable piece of everything I admired about you." 

Except, Viktor wouldn't be any less brilliant or determined or humorous if he wasn't disabled. Instantly made me think about this scene from Bojack:

Over and over I have watched the disabled community patiently explaining, passionately advocating, or righteously, ragefully, unceasingly insisting that they are more than their disability. That their disability doesn't define them. To see past it to who they are as a person. That regardless of your personal opinion, they have the same inherent value as an able-bodied person.

I get what Arcane was going for here. I really do. It was a nice idea in theory. But what they ended up with was a well-meaning, able-bodied, privileged person assigning labels to a disabled person's own opinion of himself, tell him what he should and should not do with his body, and then tie this deeply questionable conversation about Viktor's body to Viktor as a person.

And for once true to his S1 character, THAT DID NOT SWAY VIKTOR AT ALL. The last time he saw Jayce, he got soundly rejected. The next scene of them is him continuing to "evolve" Jayce. Ekko's device gave Jayce the opportunity tell Viktor how much he wanted him and THAT made the difference.

tw: sui mention; please read at your own risk loves 🫶

anderperry, but it’s a few days after neil has tried to kill himself, but he wound up in a hospital instead, very much alive.

the poets come and go the first day, and they all have very different reactions. charlie’s angry (but at who?), knox is scared, pitts and meeks are confused, and cameron is struck speechless; why can’t any of them look him in the eyes? they act awkward, skittish around him almost. treating him like something too delicate. like something to be locked up and put away.

but todd? he understands. out of everyone, why does he understand the most? he should be scared, upset, angry, and speechless, being neil’s own roommate and best friend; but, he wasn’t. he smiled at him, tear tracks stained his face, visible when the fluorescent light hit them the right way. sure he should have been all those things at first (it should have been amplified seeing the condition neil was in) but he was calm. like he knew he would be okay. because he would be, eventually.

because the sun will always rise again and brighten the earth, enshrouding it in it’s beautiful light.

Luther: We probably won't be together again until the next funeral.

Diego:

Diego: Why is everyone looking at me?

Viktor: You are one of the oldest

Allison: You do constantly get involved with mass shoot outs

Klaus: I'm honestly so high right now I don't even know where I'm looking

[shamelessdreamspot]

Do you ever watch a Show for mentally ill Bitches (Euphoria/Skins/Bojackhorseman/thirteen reasons why/Shameless/Baby/Speak/The end of the fucking world/speak/to the bone....I think you guys get it) and then something hits too close to home so you need to turn it off and need to watch a diff Show for like a Week so you wont end up like you used to be or is that just a me thing?💌

[number1abbasupporter]

Dorcas: maybe because you’re skinny and maybe because you’re pretty, you’re used to getting away with things

Dorcas: but i want you to know that your actions have an affect on others

Dorcas: and i hate you and you’re a horrible person and you not understanding you’re a horrible person doesn’t make you less of a horrible person

Marlene: you think im pretty? 🤭

[incorrect-kubera-quotes]

Lutz: We're in. It's too late to turn back now. One of us isn't going to come out of this alive.

Siera: Why do you all keep saying that?! Why can't we just all assume we're gonna make it out alive and go from there?

Ruche: Siera, we got enough problems without worrying about your imminent death.

*Every time the two bands are in the same place*

5SOs: One Direction! What is this, a crossover episode?

[marinerainbow]

*During the time Poppy's mother, Buttercup, visited her*

Poppy: I don't understand why you and father can't just get a divorce.

Buttercup: Oh, 'The Hollywood' way?

Buttercup: 'We're out of mustard. Let's divorce!', 'I'm a little sad. Divorce!'

Buttercup: 'We've grown apart over the years. Our adult child has moved out, and we no longer have any reason to stay together. Divorce.'

Poppy: That is an actual legitimate reason to get a divorce!

Buttercup: Besides; who's going to want me after what you did to my body?

Poppy, hands holding her kettle shaking: ... What I did?

Buttercup: *sighs and pulls out a painting* Anyways. Do you want this? Your grandfather painted it years ago- Now that was a man who knew what marriage meant.

Poppy: Um... Yes, I'll take it.

Buttercup: I mean, you might as well take it. I did drive it all the way out here.

Poppy: 'Oh great, the guilt tripping. I was wondering when that was coming.' Yes, I will take it.

Buttercup: That's all you ever do. Just take, take, take.

Poppy: ...

Poppy: *clenching her mug so tight by now that it's at risk of crumbling in her hands* How long are you going to be here, mother?

Buttercup: ... Just pour me a drink.

Poppy: Fine.

If I had seen Bojack Horseman more recently than 4 years ago (between march and june 2020) I could probably also make a list of similarities between House and Bojack. because I apparently have a type of character. Three hands meme but it's House, Bojack, and Archer.
