bobutters going to the other side of the country for a few weeks between seasons 4 and 5... just a friendly trip because they both eventually got tired from life and relationships and fame... they spend time together without direct romantic interactions, go to shitty movies and sometimes drink at the bar. their classic dynamics but more of a partnership than a rivalry... and then they come back as if nothing had happened. things go pretty much the same as in the show and they don't even talk about it ever again
hobo mr peanutbutter. pc did not come up with the idea of sad dog and he lost his career. loser
bojack once tells mr peanutbutter about his mother in more detail, as well as about her dementia. and pb begins to worry that boj will be affected by this disease sooner or later too, so he starts to monitor his health even more. AND also from now on tries to bring him all kinds of crosswords riddles puzzles etc and makes him to do them so that bojack trains his brain activity
something something
apparently i am the only bobutter shipper who thinks that pb hadn't been into bojack that whole time before they began living together....
i already made a post related to this topic btw. i just think that it would be quite interesting if pb started to gradually fall in love with bojack just the same as bojack started to fall in love with him after the end of the show. the problem is, if mr peanutbutter liked boj at first sight or smth like that, it doesn't sound.... right.... he didn't know the real bojack then, he saw only his media image, and behind it - just a broken self-destructive jerk
i like to think that he started getting to know him after bojack got out of prison. he finds out that bojack is into theater. bojack is good at driving. bojack can be kind and thoughtful. bojack can be sincere and vulnerable. etc etc etc. and he starts to love THIS part of bojack. pb knows his flaws, has seen him at his worst, he also knows his good sides, and begins to love him because of this, and not because bojack is simply charismatic/handsome/he was the first to pay attention to him after another divorce. it would show his growth as a character, since all his previous relationships were kinda... superficial? he loved katrina, jessica, diane, pickles, but those feelings weren't deep in my opinion (at least initially); i won't go into details, i think many people see it anyway and btw positvty has a great video on this issue.
a real friendship began to form between them only towards the end of the show - after that scene in the bar maybe? then bojack supports pb after he cheated on pickles. they had never been close before, and boj was really open with only a few people such as diane, herb... and, according to my assumptions (bobutter propaganda), after bojack's release from prison, their relationship continues to grow. pb is the only one who stayed with boj and did not distance himself from him (he did the opposite actually), and he sees this. and there is potential here. they work great together, but i'll talk about this some other time.......
however, i respect the opposite point of view, it's quite interesting too and i consider it as plausible as mine. i like to look at their relationship from a different angle, that's all
on the one hand, i'd like them to have a trusting and close fraternal relationship; on the other hand, the idea of how over time they grow apart, eventually only exchanging messages and calls a couple of times a year, seems tragic and in a sense resonates with me. i don't know
Honestly thinking about the friendship between Agent!PB and Princess Carolyn as coworkers. I know we kinda talked about that a while ago but that friendship still feels like it would be really fun to explore ough
yeah i think so too! they are generally friends, not really close, but still - they don't have a rivalry like pc has with gekko for example. i would say they have more of a partnership: pc eventually founds vim and calls pb first, who happily agrees. and they are always willing to help each other out ofc, but in the end obviously expect the same in return, so it's more of a quid pro quo than a sincere desire to support a friend lol. overall it seems to me that their relationship is not much different from the original, but there is definitely respect and equality here :)
in the continuation of that post <3
mr peanutbutter helps the twins to cut the ice cream evenly so that they don't fight again (he went through that with his brother too)
