ahem ahem friends, in case you don't know who the alpha couple is… it's a fictional couple who appears in mountain goats songs. also the entire tallahassee album is dedicated to it, and i strongly advise you to listen to it. btw that popular song "no children" is too from this album and about them

ok old married couple au, they’re both on the porch smoking, bojack gets a phone call, is like “here, hold this” and sticks his cigarette in pb’s mouth. PB starts smoking both cigarettes, and once Bojack is done on call he just lights another instead of taking his back from PB

This is funny in my head i hope im able to astral project that straight in your mind effectively

BRILLIANT brilliant idea

but it seems to me that omc!pb would only smoke when he was very nervous (as it was once shown in the first season), so this situation is more suitable for alphas, maybe at the beginning of their relationship?

anyway you inspired me and i made a comic:

pb after a spam attack on bojack's phone:

i just find the idea of two lab twins really cute and silly. the one dear anon described in that post

completing this wlw bobutter saga

bojack: caring

honestly you can imagine anything

reverse!au bobutters

initially the art looked like this, but i didn't really like this one so i removed everything unnecessary and just left these two

so... i kinda wrote a fanfic! a pretty big one. naturally on bobutter. naturally on old married couple au. it's on ao3, and i'd be happy if you'd read it when you don't have anything else to do. i'll be posting chapters gradually. nothing serious, just a read after a hard day. i like this au so much that i wanted to write the origins of their relationship. so yeah! here's the link:

it's him as a kid

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! :)

it's so pb-coded

One of my doubts I have about the AU where Bobutter are parents would be the reaction of all the other characters in relation to their relationship and children. I think they would have a very secret and discreet relationship, maybe even the wedding would be something simple, maybe it would just be them and the priest. I don't know if I would put on a party where Bojack would invite his old friends...because they arent really friends anymore? Maybe PB would want to invite his family to his wedding with BJ, but since BJ would like something more discreet it would be just them. And somehow, that made everything even more intimate? So the discovery of their relationship would be huge Hollywood gossip. News like "Are Bojack Horseman/PB gay?"; "Take the horse out of the closet"; "Maybe that was why he never worked out with his 3 ex wives/That explains the cancellation of Horses Around"; Imagining the public's reaction is easier. Maybe Todd would try to talk to both of them? Would Princess Caroline make a call? Diane? This would bring great stress to both of them. To Bojack for the public comments, and PB for seeing him so eager. It would take time for the gossip to pass. So hiding your children from the public would be a sensible but difficult option. They would be those celebrities who would go out completely disguised. Everything would be revealed with another gossip, of course. A photo taken by Paparazzi. The one who suffered the most from the situation at the beginning would be Bj, as people would talk about his past with Sarah Lynn and what a bad father he would be.

This would certainly cause problems for Crackerjack in the future. He may even have PB's last name, but it's not like he never in his life couldn't find out about BJ's past, or even if someone with bad intentions(being a adult or child) found out that he was BJ Horseman's son.

hey! yes, at first they would definitely have to deal with a huge amount of gossip, journalists would break into their house, catch them on the street etc. i personally think that bobutters wouldn't hold a ceremony at all and instead simply sign; they'd rather celebrate their marriage in full during the honeymoon, where it'd be just the two of them.

so yeah, they would have a hard time at first with a bunch of chasing paparazzi and all that, but eventually it'd settle down. it's not that bojack would be much favored in the media after that, but in my opinion, they'd not have to hide the children, since by then no one would care anymore

about the fact that crackerjack eventually finds out about his father's past.... tbh it'd be VERY interesting to see heheh..... their relationship would change a lot, that's for sure, as well as his worldview in general. if you do decide to write a fanfiction or express this idea in some other form (comic? article?), i (we) will be happy read it! <3
