A Bojack meme in hopeposting? What is this, a crossover episode?

My favorite detail about Jogging Baboon is that in the flashback episode, he is seen running in 2007 with an old lady rather than alone suggesting his comment was also about loss.

What I love about this show, and the subsequent seasons that follow this scene (iirc this scene is the ending scene of season 2), is that Bojack does get better and he does put in the work, but what I love is that in the following season, where Bojack is trying to do the hard work, is that the show writers make a point to show that Bojack starts off with a really toxic family dynamic that puts him at a disadvantage, and makes it seemingly insurmountable to get better.

Additionally, the show goes out of its way to point out that the character of Bojack isn’t blameless, that there are certain things he did that can not and should not ever be forgiven, and that he has to incorporate that and live with that.

This show is a rare gem. It’s hard to watch at times because of how real it gets for what it’s like to deal with chronic depression. That sometimes you are just a shitty person, and becoming better and being better isn’t easy, and there is no one size fits all solution. But yeah, one of its many messages is that you do have to work on it, every single goddamn day.

I like to think this scene is the complement to this one, where Bojack is confronted by his friend, Todd, about how he needs to be better, that he can’t just feel bad about his actions later and that somehow absolves him of his responsibility towards others in his life that are affected by it, and there’s not much else to say on the matter.

That show really knew how to kick you right in the emotions

Life is awesome! Today, I helped my sister put up decorations for my mom’s birthday. I’m almost 30, and I’ll cherish these moments until the day I die. Fuck Trump, fuck Vance, fuck republicans. Even if they win the US election, I get to Iove my family. Every day, it gets a little easier. Sorry for the negativity.

Edit: still loving my family. I’m going to set an alarm for myself and give a small positive update on my family.

psst… sometimes someone sees you doing just a litl easier and so, they may ask you if you can carry some of their load too, and i love to, i love it, i know how it was for me, but then sometimes, you learn how to help those people so well, that you both end up regressing

One must imagine monkë to be happy.

No, but seriously, the monkey man is Sysyphus running up and down the hill in that episode.

In two days, I’ll hit 4.5 years of daily running. Can confirm. Things get easier when you do them every day (within reason).

it’s a crime against humanity that snow monkey human hybrids don’t exist yet
