#i would GREATLY prefer it is bosco wasnt a police officer

Any Sergeant bosco headcannons hmm?

THIS ASK SOUNDS SO PASSIVE AGGRESSIVE AND JUDGEY LMAO but yes i love bosco and think about him maybe too much considering he's a cop. he's genuinely one of my favorite bobs burgers characters

expanding upon the fact that he canonically has adult kids i think he and his wife were in a bad marriage but decided to stay together until their kids were adults to get divorced, but there was a lot of fighting and it probably would've been healthier for everyone if they just split up when the kids were younger. his kids resent him for their kinda shitty childhood so he doesn't talk to them very much and they moved far away to like new york city or whatever, he does love and care about him but he maybe isn't the best at showing them that or communicating (he also is probably not great with kids in general as shown by his interactions with the burger babies)

he didn't really ever WANT TO be a cop he's just a cop bcuz he figured that was an easy career and its what his parents encouraged but when he sees younger officers joining for the same reason he tries to convince them to quit and do what theyre actually passionate about i thimk he would've enjoyed music when he was younger

he and bob very occasionally get together and have a few drinks and just talk about shit after the restaurant is closed, neither of them would call each other friends but they are definitely friends they're just grumpy old men about it <3

he really respects louise and she's honestly his favorite belcher child and at one point louise asks him to come into her class and do a presentation on police work for like a celebrating heroes thing and he's actually very emotional bcuz his own kids never wanted him to come by their school for anything, louise just wanted to brag about how she knows an actual cop with a gun but she respects bosco too bcuz he doesn't treat her like a child and actually stands up to her bullshit

bosco is more fond of the belcher family than he would like to admit, like they're crazy and they make his life miserable sometimes but he does genuinely care about them and enjoys their shenanigans and they're probably some of the only people outside the police force who he's actual friends with and he does like linda and bob specifically, he's ambivalent towards gene and tina bcuz he doesn't really understand kids or get along with them

I WOULD ADD MORE BUT TUMBLR DOESNT LET YOU SAVE ASKS AS DRAFTS AND I HAVE TO GO NOW SOO goodbye

#for the record btw #FUCK COPS EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM HAS BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS abolish the police its a corrupt force and there are no good cops #i would GREATLY prefer it is bosco wasnt a police officer #but in the case of this fictional character who is also a cop he's alright and i like grumpy old men #but thats my least favorite part of his character and i would not be angry if he quit the force #i encourage it actually go do something ur passionate about baby boy #instead of working for Government Racism Company #txt #bob's burgers
