#bojack spoilers
I just think she’s neat .
Bojack horse face
Those bojack screencap redraw frames but animated!! Crying and throwing up
Thinking about this part of bojack every second of every day
“Your poison is already in her”
Honestly as the mentally ill daughter of a severely mentally ill father that line shot me in the face, robbed my house and burned all my crops
Beatrice treats the doll like she would have treated Bojack if her mother hadn’t taught her to be afraid to love
Beatrice Sugarman is not the flawed mentally ill feminist icon we deserve, but she is the flawed mentally ill feminist icon we NEED
Specifically because she, an individual up against an entire culture of misogyny, DOESN’T overcome her oppression and become the exception to the rule of the patriarchy. She destroys her mind and body through disordered eating/drug abuse, is forced to squander her education, is thrust completely unprepared into the role of nurturer after an accidental pregnancy (fucking up her child for the rest of his life because she was never fit to be a mother), in the end effectively killing off every good part of herself in order to become what a woman was expected to be. AND SHE KNOWS THIS AND DOESN’T LET IT HAPPEN TO HENRIETTA!!! SHE KNOWS, NO MATTER HOW NORMAL, THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO HER WAS WRONG AND SHOVES HER EGO ASIDE TO SAVE A YOUNG GIRL FROM THE SAME FATE!!!
A big theme featured in this season for me was ‘choice’, which seemed to be at odds with the symbolism that the past is perhaps cyclical and echoes into the present. For me, the moment when Ralph openly defies his parents and declares his love for Princess Carolyn is a direct parallel to the finale when Hollyhock chooses to keep Bojack in her life. Both PC and Bojack have been damaged by past experiences: Bojack has never had any positive or healthy relationships with family members and PC has never dated anyone who really cared about her and wasn’t an asshole. In both scenes, we see their first reaction is surprise. Neither character expects to be chosen or wanted, they’re so hardened by past hurts that to hear someone choose them for who they are, or despite who they are, is shocking. In this scene, PC is thinking that the past is repeating, another relationship has failed and she is going to be alone. Only for Ralph to wholeheartedly choose her over his family and to blast her past experiences out of the water. In their respective moments we see a prolonged focus on the emotions flashing across their faces. And for once we see them both truly and purely happy.
