Bobutter headcanons, hand em over 🔫 /silly
i won't repeat the same things that you said in your post with headcanons for them because i generally agree with you! one thing: i want to believe that bojack didn't star in horny unicorn after he got out of prison. the movie industry is a very toxic place for him and i don't think he would ever want to return to the set again
instead he rather devoted himself to the theater? it seems that his soul lies precisely to it. he started with productions in prisons and then got a job in the theater. begins putting on plays there, and mr peanutbutter definitely attends each one with great interest and pride!!! him sitting in the audience and be like ''yes yes yes my husband directed this play! he's so talented! ooo ooh he's over there!! HEY BOJACK!" (the whole theater hears him)
when pb has time, he attends bojack's rehearsals as well! he praises and encourages EVERY actor, even the shittiest ones, which is why everyone there adores him. of course boj is genuinely pleased when he does this, even though it seems like he isn't ("why did you come? you'd better have stayed at home. why waste time on this shit?") he's just a little shy.
mr peanutbutter continued his career. he keeps acting in movies and tv series of various kinds; but over the years he definitely does it less, spending more time on hobbies and bojack
speaking of relations with the rest of the cast: they don't communicate with diane at all - neither pb nor bojack. however, maybe pb and diane sometimes like each other's posts on social networks, making sure that everything is okay and no one is dead
they keep in friendly contact with princess carolyn and definitely visit each other at least once a month! i mean, they don't communicate much, especially boj and pc, but they keep warm relationship. sometimes she even lets them babysit ruthie (they try very hard to do everything right) (ruthie loves them) (that thing describes their relationship perfectly for me)
todd probably remained the closest of the whole cast to them, at least because he and pb are still best friends. i really want to believe that they hold meetings of pb livin' from time to time, and mr peanutbutter considers bojack an unofficial member, simply because he accidentally walked into the study during one of them.
they come up with new crazy moronic projects and give them to bojack for consideration. he grumbles, indignant at how stupid it is, but still contributes something of his own, which he thinks will make their plan more logical. it turns out even worse, and almost every time they are on the verge of bankruptcy honestly. but at least it's fun!
although they probably would eventually stop investing ALL their money in those brilliant business projects because, well... spending your old age as homeless is not a very appealing prospect (bojack insisted on that)
i also have a post about their relationship with hollyhock
and the headcanon about reading together is here as well
i think they have quite a similar sense of humor. at least it was shown that they both love long setups for punchlines! of course, bojack likes more dark jokes while pb prefers light-hearted ones, but it still seems to me that they would definitely find common ground here.
they have a bunch of inside jokes and tbh they also definitely have a few people that they like to gossip about together (they do it on that art of mine btw 😏)
pb removed the thunder room (converted it into smth else, maybe storage). he also stopped drinking alcohol, at least while bojack's around so he won't be tempted to relapse again
probably thanks to (almost) 4 unsuccessful marriages and work on himself, pb would take the whole wedlock thing more seriously and not even try to talk about it with bojack because well it's bojack. but! after so many years of loneliness and a few ones of really successful healthy relationship and therapy bojack may want to get married? of course it would be difficult for him because of his distorted understanding of the union of two people as such, but, in the end, he has time. so if he does want it, ig he will be the one to propose. screwing up 19641969 times in the process of course. it'd be cute :з
i decided not to mention that they like to hug and walk in the park together and so on like the real snotty romantics, because it's obvious. i'm sorry for the possibly long answer, i've just been sitting all day in the socrates pose thinking about what i should write. thanks for reading!
Thanks for responding and considering my idea! You even made wonderful art, thank you very much! I think that the fact that they are older would be one of the facts that would be more interesting in my idea, but at the same time I really think that it would take a while for both of them to consider the idea of having children... I'm not very good at math, but do you think it would work for them to be in their 40s after season 6? I guess that's PC's age, besides. But I don't really remember. Hopefully they would take about 10 years to consolidate the idea, when PB suddenly had baby fever and received a suggestion for Surrogacy. They would be around 50 years old, maybe. Then they would still be old parents. I was thinking they might have a stallion first, with Bojack's DNA. He could be a boy, in my mind, similar to Bojack. He would be shy, and obedient, a follower of rules. Although in adolescence I see him as more mean and rebellious, but with others and not with his parents. The problem of old age would be an important point in his story, as it would give him a sense of responsibility towards his younger brothers (Yes, Bobutter tried again some time later, but with Peanutbutter's DNA. It would be a pair of golden twins .), anxiety and constant worry about knowing how and when their parents could die. He would also be completely against drugs and alcohol, given Bojack's story. His name would perhaps be CrackerJack? Honoring his late great uncle. And the twins would be Sara and Lance. I'm still not sure about these names, but I thought it would be a good pun for Sarah Lynn. I thought about also giving compound names to honor Peanutbutter's parents, but I don't know what their names are, since they were never said in the series. They would be very hyperactive, distracted, but very smart twins. Sara would look a lot like PB, while Lance would, surprisingly, kind of look like Bojack. He loves sarcasm. They also really love Crackerjack, and almost always follow their big brother's orders. Lance admires his older brother a lot, but sometimes finds him very annoying. Sara too, but she already likes her brother's protective ways more, even though it can sometimes be suffocating.
oh actually your idea sounds even more interesting in that way. if their rather old age has any special effect on their relationship with the kids it'd be interesting to consider!
omg i was also thinking about labrador twins!! that's just such an awfully sweet concept! i also like that bobutters would name them after sarah lynn and crackerjack (or bojack could give one of his children the name harper out of strong sentimentality??).
you described their characters in an interesting way, especially crackerjack's one. it would also be interesting to explore it in more detail, and if you have any ideas exactly what he looks like, i would be glad to hear them!
thank you for your thoughts! they'd definitely make loving sometimes fucked-up parents. it would be fun to watch! :)
bojack and mr peanutbutter after the end of the show:
suddenly i thought about what free churro episode would look like in old married couple au. if, let's say, mr peanutbutter persuaded bojack to take him to the funeral because he was worried about his husband's mental state. he would just silently stand in the background for the entire episode and laugh awkwardly at bojack's jokes. sometimes patting him on the shoulder as a support. he would be absolutely useless but the idea sounds so funny to me. even considering the whole gloominess of the episode itself
you have no idea how much i love drawing my faves in random outfits from pinterest
anyway
pb acts less and less in movies and eventually starts his entertainment show on television, where he talks on absolutely all topics, most of which he doesn't know a damn thing about. but every time he appears in a new stunning suit ofc
and sometimes he says hello to his husband and friends because he can
that silly dog again
something something
Hey! If one day (God willing) some producer looks at the Bojack Horseman show and thinks "Hey, this has potential to be a great reboot!!!" and make a "sitcom" style series (in quotes because it wouldn't be completely comedy, but a good reference) in real life about Bojack Horseman? It would be like a sitcom, but it would take place in the real world, it wouldn't have humanoid animals and other weirdness or a lot of comedy, but it would have a more realistic and depressive humor. The Sitcom moments would be more at the beginning of the series, until BJ's depressed and dark layers would be shown to us in each episode, until the background laughs no longer appeared. Who do you think would be good to play PB and BJ? Or how they could be in a way more realistic. Do you think maybe a producer could make them a romantic couple?
hey! oh it's a really interesting question actually, but the problem is that i hardly watch tv series or movies and i don't know about actors much, especially hollywood ones, so i can't say who would definitely fit their role. but i did a quick research and i think that
brad pitt or matthew mcconaughey's appearance would suit mr peanutbutter well
and an actor for the role of bojack... keanu reeves?
i honestly don't know if they would become a couple or not. it depends a lot on a producer and all that, but i'd be glad to see such a reboot! that would be fun. even if it turned out to be a complete shit i wouldn't be upset, since, well, we still have the show we can enjoy, so it doesn't really matter
if you have any suggestions who could play the roles of bobutters i'd be happy to hear you out! and maybe i'd even make art with them? it sounds fun. thank you!
