finally this creature. he speaks facts btw
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
legendary mr chocolate hazelnut spread and bobo the angsty zebra
i wonder why i've seen so little art with them. and i like how they look together... a pleasant palette, a pleasant combination of colors... they complement each other so well
I liked your ideas about childhood! Au. I think PB would already get friendships with everyone, including bj, and be popular in the first days. BJ would surely have an envy of PB and even could hate him a little, but because his age. BJ not so asshole as he is like an adult. And also because I see him as a child very lonely. And it would be like "man, there comes this yellow idiot again. Well, I do not have anything else to do. And he's funny. And fluffy. And Warm. AND..." And he would be a reluctant friend who would eventually like PB. Like, PB treats him as a much more cool person than he really is and makes him feel good. It would be the first time he would be treated with respect and admiration for someone. The two would definitely scribble each other's names in their diaries. PB would keep them as a keepsake. BJ didn't because his father could see. PB would sneak him out of school so they could go home together. Even though BJ never invited PB to his house. Maybe classmates talked about BJ behind his back. They could be like: How does Mr.PB want to be friends with a loser like him? he is so weird. However, their relationship would end up getting tense over time. Maybe BJ envy increased over time, his feelings for PB would begin to be too strange for him to find it normal, maybe even PB has given certain strange signs, anyway, it would not be very well, but more because of BJ than PB. BJ would start ignoring him and PB wouldn't understand anything because BJ doesn't talk to him. So they would have lives separated for a while, They would meet again when they were actors, which neither canon series. I believe they would be the first passion of each other. Even during the time the series is passed, but BJ would never admit.
ooh i like this version! mr peanutbutter, as a sweet and light-hearted child, could definitely try to make friends with bojack, who was an outsider of their class. initially boj would respond to his attempts at communication reluctantly and only because he didn't want to face negativity in his address and also simply felt too lonely to reject even him. but then, unconsciously, he begins to sympathize with pb more and more. i really like the idea of childhood crush, which, after a long period of separation, will grow into something more adult and deep.... (i am totally not hinting at any other ships)
in general, it is a very interesting concept. i hope that great inspiration will descend on all of us and we will do something about this au one day
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:
