#didnt think id ever say that

It seems to be a significant character design that out of the Sugarman/Horseman family line, it’s specifically Joseph, Beatrice, Bojack and Hollyhock who have the diamond feature on their face. It’s obviously not a coincidence because a) it’s a tv show and b) Hollyhock is only Bojack’s half-sister and not the side with the characteristic. So if we assume it’s done to represent something, it presumably represents that classic “Horseman gunk” as Bojack puts it: manipulative, self-destructive tendencies and that depressive mind. Generationally and visually, we are led to think that Hollyhock and Bojack’s relationship could end up like Beatrice and Joseph’s or Bojack and Beatrice’s. Instead, Hollyhock and Bojack rise above these expectations. If we tie it all in with the “time’s arrow neither stands still nor reverses” message of this season, we see Bojack and Hollyhock relationship progress and move away from the past, they break the cycle: they don’t regress into what came before. Despite that tragic reminder of how it was for the past generations they are able to begin to build the foundations for a positive relationship.
