BoJack Horseman - It's important to breath

[@douglasmurphy1113]

*Don't fetishise your own sadness* FINALLY someone told Bojack that. I understand that he's not purposely being sad... But there comes a point when you just choose to wallow in your own sadness.

[@righthandstep5]

He doesnt know that. Even at this point he wasn't given a clean slate. By season 6 halfway through hes given a semi way and then last ep hes given a full clean slate, even when the damage he did was permanent to certain ppl.

[@Alsyoutubeaccount]

It clearly resonated with him a lot because later on he projects the advice onto Diane.

[@theCarbonFreeze]

she was a terrible person, but her two stories--this and the lifeguard one--are some of the best advice in the whole show

[@seandonnelly5272]

I don't think she's necessarily terrible. She's self-interested, and never tries to hide that fact, so I find it difficult to get too mad at her actions

[@AnoraFan-z1v]

Sean Donnelly I personally think the characters in this series are a bit too complex to label as good or bad people. They've all got flaws and have done shitty things but also have good things about them.

[@nattemis]

The lifeguard one is kinda bad. The analogy works on some level, but lifeguards aren't taught to sacrifice people if they are dangerous to rescue.

[@FlutterMouse]

Kristoffer But Lifeguards ARE taught to let a difficult victim drown temporarily so they can be immobilized enough to be taken to shore and revived. I learned that when I was a kid.

[@Grayman2003]

She manipulated Bojack to to whatever she said and even exposed him in front of Diane She is one of the reasons he plummets in season 6 along with the Therapy Horse and the Reporters

[@katelynpringle5506]

I love this voice actress. I don't know what it is, but she's got good vocal cords.

[@diegoalvarez64]

Its black panthers mom

[@johans3164]

@Koal Kottentail my God, she just command presence. be it animated or live action. great actress

[@FFKonoko]

A husky voice

[@Alsyoutubeaccount]

Koal Kottentail I think you mean Hollywoob

[@xavierbeurre8064]

It's Angela Bassett. She's an amazing actress.

[@ripelivejam]

I love the moments where the show changes its animation style.

[@gabriella19452]

"Don't fetishize your own sadness" is something I think more people need to hear. Its okay not to be okay, but you shouldn't let yourself get comfy there. I've seen this a lot, especially with young mentally ill people. I was abused as a child and never knew life without PTSD and mental illness issues of some sort. It became so tied to me that I was scared that without it, I'd have nothing, no sense of self, no identity. Sadness and trauma was all I knew and I think I romanticized it as a maladaptive coping mechanism, but that just made it harder to tear away from it. I'm better now and have moved on, but I wish I had heard this years ago

[@kouyasakurada5547]

Loved her. She's a fighter.

[@nayirnolamaz]

She was a pretty cool character

[@tde4438]

Literally no one could've done this better than Angela Bassett~

[@hannahmartin9705]

She plays a badass cop on 9-1-1

[@machinfacultatif9012]

This is a terrifying story

[@HumbledRich]

I absolutely love this quote: you have to keep composed.

[@Longknife]

IT MEANS SAY IT WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM AND IT HELPS. IT CAN ALSO MEAN TAKE TIME FOR YOURSELF TO HELP YOURSELF RECOOPERATE. IT'S GOOD BECAUSE IT HAS MULTIPLE MEANINGS. THAT'S WHY IT'S GOOD.

[@meepMepp]

Needed that today, stuck in some pretty big life changing stuff where i have no idea what's going on anymore, but this advice really helps.

[@ashlynwolff]

One of very few moments of Ana I truly like

[@themad8088]

the art in the matter to drawing, about the stories of her and Todd (hooray Todd episode), is simply fantastic, almost realistic, like from a old book, about Ana, one of the most notorious villains of the show, in my opinon, perhaps, that ghastly experience , that was what corrupted her, thus becoming a bad person, obviously she not is the ''ideal'' person, to tell advises to Bojack, when two people with nasty pasts meet each other, nothing good, will come of that.

[@milagroscabrera5304]

here again after the ending. bojack never breathed, not once in his whole life. not really.

[@righthandstep5]

He kind of did my the end surviving to be in a hospital bed and then go to prison. He just didnt BURN up that contract of that dumb agent he had the nerve to just have her way that made me boo him and the writers of the show for once.

[@Starmadien2019]

Holy shit that's really good advice, damn good advice

[@EhCanadianGamer]

You read my mind. 0:44

[@monochromayhem7422]

One day I’m going to get a screenshot from that sequence and tattoo it. I need that.

[@christianclean8260]

I don’t mean to be that guy, but it’s breathe

[@dayschange2]

This character had some pretty weighty stuff in her background.

[@Dehslash9]

... ... wow

[@goosgasgas4862]

If you are underwater, wouldn't breathing, the last thing you would want to do?

[@georgemelancholy7722]

while it might seem like the worst option, it can help you find your way out. it was the last thing you would think to do, but sometimes the last thing you would want to do is the only thing you can do to save yourself.

[@veeya9188]

@@georgemelancholy7722 Maybe just blow the bubbles? It’s always important to blow.

[@9remlin]

*breathe

[@Oodsie444]

Good advice!

[@StevenOsborne-x6c]

…that is a terrifying story 😂😂

[@lizlazmccringe2043]

Weird question but how do you fetishize your sadness ? I’m genuinely curious, I don’t want to catch myself doing it if it doesn’t help

[@freechurro702]

Wallowing in sadness. This isn't meant to be mistaken for depression btw. Fetishizing your sadness is when you refuse to take the steps to get better and find comfort in your struggles. You consistently return to your issues and stay there because it's what you know and what you feel is normal. This can either be done by finding yourself to be unique for struggling or using your struggles to justify your actions.

[@abominatedfilms2970]

It is important to "breath". Don't mean to sound like grammatical nazi warrior, but it's "breathe". Now it kind of reminds of something like "It is important to have bad breath".

[@ego-pt7vt]

Can someone help me I don’t understand what she meant when she said it’s important to breathe

[@odod2898]

literally, just breathe. taking deep breaths when youre overwhelmed helps you calm down and think

[@mudkipfan2420]

First people treated you bad Then u have a lot of sadness Then u have a lot of rage Then suddenly youre the bad guy People who say bojack is a bad person clearly doesnt understand where he’s coming from Every child is innocent, the world is not

[@freechurro702]

The man waited 17 minutes to rescue his friend from dying of heroine, was going to molest a 17 year old, ruined all of his friend's life opportunities several times, encouraged drinking and drug use to his vulnerable friends, and strangled his girlfriend on a drug fueled hallucination because he was angry she wanted him to stop. Bojack IS NOT a good person. His trauma and mental illness aren't excuses for his actions. The show makes several points of this and deliberately says "HEY DONT THINK OF WHAT BOJACK IS DOING AS OKAY THIS ISNT MEANT TO EXCUSE HIM" four separate times. Once with the Philbert series (Bojack the feminist), once with Diane (the fight they had during the premiere), once with Todd (that whole "its you" monologue he had when he found out about Emily), and once with Biscuit during his interviews. YOU have no media literacy and are excusing being a bad person because of some bad things that happened to them. You clearly didn't understand the entire point of the show which, again, OUT RIGHT STATES FOUR TIMES that Bojack isn't a good person and you shouldn't be excusing his actions. Go back to school and learn media literacy.
