btw i think its extremely funny that there's a bobs burgers episode about somebody grieving for their dead loved one and holding onto reminders of them, how they died too young and talking about how they never got to meet gene louise or tina and how they wouldve loved them so much etc etc and somehow its NOT about bob's mom, who is like the only character where that plot would make sense

#it was about linda's grandpa btw #I DONT HATE THE EPISODE ITS JUST SO FUNNY TO ME they hate talking abt bob's mom so goddamn much #im begging for crumbs and theyre like lets do episodes that are deconstructions of grief about linda's grandpa and a dog #that used to live in her neighborhood <3 god bless America #i feel like its a mix of linda being more emotional and expressive with her grief vs bob who went through something that was presumably #a lot more traumatic for him and his childhood #he isnt very emotional and he probably avoids thinking about her due to a mix of his dad kinda putting this idea in his head #that talking about her or telling stories is bad and it makes ppl upset #and also just feeling guilty for not visting her grave more often or really including her in anything #he feels like he failed as a son so he kinda represses all of that #bobs burgers analysis time i guess!!!! whatevr #its just funny 2 me i love that episode #<- WANTED TO ADD on a meta level its bcuz the writers didnt know what to do with her or how to talk about her #bcuz she would be a bigger part of the show #vs other random characters who are dead and dont really matter. so its easier #bob's burgers #txt
