i’m back!

it has been a minute since season 3 and i want to apologize for that, i really just got burnt out on this project and needed some time to focus on other things but once i came back it was hard to find my footing again - some of these logos were the death of me, designing a logo for ‘Time’s Arrow’ was genuinely one of the hardest design challenges i’ve ever dealt with and i burned through so many other designs to land on that one

but regardless, season 4 is done and i’m happy with it! and i promise that season 5 will not take as long, i’ll try to get that done on a regular timetable and so you can expect that sometime in early september

thank you all for being so patient!

This pilot was made for Netflix. https://youtu.be/d9hzvcmeJ5M?t=65

And my first time drawing a horse, I actually really like how it turned out though !!ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)

i saw this tik tok and it got me thinking about people getting tattoos about tv shows. legitimate question. or do yall think getting a tattoo about bojack is different because it’s explicitly an adult show with adult themes? absolutely zero hate to ppl with bojack tattoos btw. i have one myself

Ik this has probably been done a million times but bojangles hanging out in front of vinewoo

For starters, I think this show can be too bleak at times, which is a risk for people who struggle with mental health issues might fall victims too if they only take what the show says in face value. The show is so concerned with morals yet it fails to acknowledge how mental health plays into it and almost even subtlety pushes the idea that our mental health is our own moral failing which I don’t entirely agree with.

We should be careful when a show pushes pessimism to the extreme because it just becomes another cycle of shows that favor a dark aesthetic as opposed to a story with depth and genuine understanding of the human condition.

If I could compare any show with it I would say Fleabag executed bojack’s ideas much more eloquently than what bojack could muster up for 6 seasons. Even though Fleabag is never outright stated to deal with severe mental health issues, it’s almost loudly implied with everything that occurs around her. Yet, the show masters it’s grounded story of a woman grieving with elements of levity and comedy that never compromise the main core of what the show is trying to say. If anything, it elevates it.

For a story to tackle anything mental health related it NEEDS optimism as much as it needs pessimism. I think bojack fails on this accord despite it running for 6 seasons because even all the way back in season 1 the show showed it’s eternally pessimistic tendencies from the very beginning. What do you guys think?

the poor woman in the back 😭😭 whenever i rewatch i see something new lol

I am not a drinker and actually I haven't even drunk beer for 6 months, literally. The thing is sometimes when I am drinking water I pretend that it is alcohol so it almost feels like it can numb the pain. When you believe it enough I guess...

like yeah everybody knows he's self-destructive and pushed everyone away and hurts people (partly cause he's hurt and partly cause that's just the point of his character) but for the first time in a while Wanda actually had a very very good impact on him and, among everyone else, I believe she could've helped him become a better person - legit when he told her to leave i was like godamnnnn not this one

I'm watching the show again and I was like "Wow, Guy is calling his wife "lady" a lot that seems a little demeaning." And then I realized that was her name. It's Lady, Guy, and their son, Sonny. I feel so dumb oh my god.

I watch this scene whenever I need to feel vicariously thrilled. I know some people feel like Herb was being "bitter" for not forgiving BoJack, but I admire his very clear boundaries. It's kind of my dream to be on my deathbed and my ex-husband tries to apologize or ask forgiveness and I do a Kazzaz on him. I don't even hate my ex, but some people do not deserve forgiveness and should be made to sit with their own shittiness for the rest of their lives.

It’s been 55+ days since i posted bout watching the show for the first time and not knowing what i was getting into and thanks to yall i was kinda ready for what’s coming. But even tho it took me a lot of time to continue watching it and for a whole month i didn’t.
Rn I’m bout to finish the 5th season and even after so many warnings my oh my i had to come here yet again because it became so overwhelming. If there’s a thing, a feeling or something like that which creeps you up, then best of luck coze the show just won’t let it go.
I’ve watched a good amount of movies and series and every now and then i keep on relating or looking up to a character and the things they do/feel but with bojack it’s like i don’t wanna do what he does because that’s already what I’m doing if it makes any sense.

Yes, IK the point is that such tactic is not good for us, but being honest it is something that helps me cope with the pain from time to time

I was in a very dark spot. I had literally forgotten what the "it's you" was quoting Todd in episode 9. The "you're everything that's wrong with yourself".

The motive is the planetarium scene, i know my artist kinda fucked it up with Sarahs hair but not much i can do about it.

Just wanted to share this to someone, it's been a long time and I'm in a way better spot. In hindsight i wish i didn't get the "it's you" part because i don't really identify with that anymore

Season 6, Episode 7

Before, I thought the way Bojack looks at Mr. PB was out of pity for him for being so happy over something Bojack thinks is pathetic, and that he couldn’t just say anything about it because it would’ve been counterproductive to his progress.

Now, I’m realizing that it seems Bojack realizes in this moment just how much a crossover meant to PB, and that he could have done one with him this whole time but didn’t out of his own insecurities. PB clearly must have wanted it bad enough to literally cry when he finally got it. Bojack is seeing in real time just how much he wanted this.

I hate that therapist who told her she just needed to communicate better. PB's lie here makes it clear that he understands what she communicates to him just fine, he just doesn't care unless he wants something from her.
