Both showbiz people

They never got over each other and still clearly care about each other as much as they try to forget about the other and deny their feelings

One abandoned the other and the other never got over it

Have divorced vibes despite never having been married

Kept a memento of the other (Herb kept the telescope. Tenna kept the Pipis)

Doomed toxic tragic yaoi. Need I go on

Spamtenna is just like Bojerb. No I will not elaborate

Thought about my declared dead au again recently

[bojackandherb]

"he would not fucking do that" Boring and uninspired. "What would have to happen to this person to Make him do that" is the real question.

To me the most fun part about fix-its is placing dominoes.

Tragedies often consist of escalating series of actions and circumstances which, in isolation, were not clearly leading to the tragic end but form a chain of cause-and-effect directly towards it in hindsight. In equal but opposite fashion, I love starting with small inoccuous changes to canon that in themselves do not obviously fix everything but start a new chain that leads to a better ending.

It's kind of impossible for fix-its to feel fully natural– the reader by definition knows what the original ending was and that this ending will be happier because the writer wants it to be– but it is possible for them to not feel contrived. A big deus-ex-machina, or a character breaking with their pre-established tragic flaws to suddenly make all the "correct" decisions almost always feels unsatisfying to me.

But a few carefully placed small domino pieces slowly knocking over bigger and bigger tiles until the entire story has radically changed? That's a lot more fun.

It recquires the author to both correctly identify the original chain of cause-and-effect and understand the characters well enough to know how they'd react to different circumstances. Because if the story feels like it's fixing the wrong problem or the characters don't act like themselves the magic is lost. But when it works? When it clicks and the reader sees the domino chain laid out in front of them? It's beautiful.

I know nothing about Bojack horseman except for the fact that I wanted to draw him, and eventually some other characters, bad a few years ago. This is like a forgotten gem I stumbled upon last night.

Only putting these guys on here bc Todd and Mr. Peanutbutter didn't turn out well...

Happy pride month

[bojackandherb]

im so hungry i could eat a herb kazazz

Hey! Herb was a great man and did not deserve to be eaten, except by the men he chose to-

You know what? I'm not finishing that thought.

[bojackandherb]

I still think gay sex could’ve fixed Bojack.

[bojackandherb]

Bojack: Okay, but if you’re not gay then why are you always holding my hand and kissing me and telling me I’m your boyfriend? 
Herb: Dude- It’s satire! 
Bojack: THAT'S NOT WHAT SATIRE MEANS!

11/10. Perfection. No notes

Men in Pink

[bojackandherb]

It’s that time of year. Time to make my header image gayer

[bojackandherb]

Been on an SU kick lately.

Just realized, Lars and Bojack are slightly similar (in the sense that they’re cynical jerks who tell it like it is and are full of anxiety. And go through a lot of character development and become better people.)

I wonder if Bojack and Lars would get along (because of their similarities) or hate each other (because of their similarities)

Happy pride month everyone

Started messing around with the video and… Help I’ve gained too much power
