Hollywolf as Bob’s guardians

PART 2

So Wolfman sees this kid, maybe around 12 or 13, in a mall arcade locking the target and shooting all the targets close to perfectly. His interest is piqued. He is still in his uniform so it would not look weird that he is approaching a child. When Leonard approaches him, he recognizes the grandson of their neighbor, an old lovely lady but could give people a run for their money.

Hollywood played poker with her when he was back from missions. The old lady has saved their arses on more occasions than one. DADT still in place there had been loads of rumors even in their secluded community. Mrs. Floyd heard about it and in a few days rumors died out.

Neither Hollywood or Wolfman knew what she did but they were forever grateful to her. Also she always had the best cookies for after long deployment and care packages coming to their ships.

Recently an old lady was joined by her grandson Robert, Wolfman remembered. He seemed to keep to himself and Mrs. Floyd let him be, not telling even her neighbors why he was here.

Kid strikes the last of his target and Wolfman says: “Amazing eye to hand cordination. Have you ever thought about going to be WSO?” Kid jumped a bit and turned around to come face to face with Leonard. He was scrawny, clothes seemed baggy on him and dark circles under eyes like he hasn’t slept normally in a while. Hollywood would say Robert was not cut for it but Wolfman saw something in this kid.

“No, sir…Mr. Wolfe, I haven’t.” “Well…you should, Robert. We would be losing an amazing asset if you don’t consider that.” Kid smiled at him and fixed his glasses that also seemed too big for him. Something in Wolf wanted to take care of this child, teach him all he knows.

“How about we eat some pizza and then I take you back home?”

“I am not really hungry, sir.” Robert looked down on the floor. Leonard saw his hands starting to shake. He had seen similar things in his fellow pilots after a rough mission. What the hell this kid had gone through?

“I am! You can order whatever you want. It is on me. I will tell you funny stories about my deployment.” Wolfman suggested, not wanting to pressure kiddo into anything, but gosh he needed to put on some weight. Robert just nodded following Leonard to the food court. They had a good time and Robert even ate one slice of pizza. That Wolfman took as an absolute success.

He drove them back home where Mrs. Floyd was already waiting for her grandson on the porch. Robert thanked the Wolfman, hugged his grandma and walked into the house. Old woman made her way to him. Just looking at him. Her look could rival Iceman's unnerving one.

“Found your grandson in an arcade shooting targets down, he is good at it. Also Robert ate a slice of pizza and had a milkshake.” he felt the need to count down what they did to her. She cracked a smile, her eyes glistening and started speaking: “It is his first proper lunch since his parents died in the 9/11 attacks. Thank you, Leonard!”

That explained a lot about how Robert acted, how he looked. His want to protect the kid grew with each passing minute. He also wanted to go and kiss Hollywood as a reminder that he still is there.

“I will be around here for a few months and Hollywood, too. We could take him on weekends.”

“Having two best pilots next door already is helping him, but if you both don’t feel bothered, I think it would do Bobby good, having you two around.”

As Wolfman predicted Hollywood didn’t see what he saw in Robert. One of the best WSO’s in the making but with time Rick started to see it. So he took on training Robert, starting with stretches and morning runs before Robert’s therapy sessions that left him anxious before and tired after. Then followed yoga and meditation, all three of them did because the kid had tripped in going into the therapy too. Not only were they helping Robert but he was helping them. That made Hollywood realize what Wolfman had seen from the start.

Robert was 14 when he lost his grandma and both Hollywood and Wolfman another dear friend. Mrs. Floyd had written in her will that custody over Robert was split between Rick and Leonard till Robert Floyd turns 18. Mrs. Floyd called them only by their given name and so the three carried on that tradition. It helped with keeping work outside the home. Their psychologist also approved of it.

Both of them were called to San Diego and they took that chance for a new start for all three of them. Hollywood as a joke put a sticker on their car back window saying Baby on board. That is how Robert got his call sign B.o.B. Wolfman and Hollywood teased him softly over it because he always will be their baby on board. Robert simply needed something that reminded him of these two men who helped raise him in WSO he is now. Sense of them with him in that plane.

In San Diego Robert met Ron “Slider” Kaner who owned a private plane company that had special training planes for pilots. Both Rick and Leonard had taken Bob flying before but this was next level. Robert passed it with flying colors, getting out of the plane laughing with Ron. The other two pilots were happy to see their kid happy like that again. He was meant to be in the air. Somehow Robert or how Ron had started to call him Bobby tripped Slider into therapy, too, but he drew a line at yoga and meditation, but Hollywood teasing him about Slider not being limber enough did the trick.

Somehow Hollywood and Wolfman had kept Iceman and Maverick out of Bobbies life. It wasn’t like they kept him hidden away. Simply the other two men had a lot going on in their life. Then Bradley upped and left without another word. Wolfman had gotten an absolute mess of Maverick calling him. Ron had canceled the last of Robert's flying training sessions. Bobby knew they all were hiding something.

That somehow brought in both hurricane and unmovable objects in Robert's life that were Pete and Tom when he was 15. Bobby was alone at home, doing his homework and looking through some of Hollywood's paperwork. Both of his guardians are still at Top Gun base, training running late. When loud banging made him jump in his seat, Robert hid Rick’s papers and took a baseball bat for self preservation reasons. He was dialing Leonard.

“Bobby? Is everything alright?”

“I don’t know. Someone is banging on our house door.”

“HOLLYWOOD, WOLFMAN, LET ME IN! I KNOW YOU ARE HOME, I CAN SEE THE LIGHT.”

“Oh fuck!” cursed Leonard. “That is Maverick. We will be back as soon as possible. We will call his husband.”

“Leo, I think I should let him in before neighbors call the cops.”“Yeah, do that.”

Bob opens the door to have Maverick just fall face first on the carpet in the halfway. The older man groans. Bob closes the doors and goes to the kitchen to get a glass of the water for the man. Maverick, as Wolfman had called him, had sat up and just looked at Robert with glassy eyes.

“Drink this! You will thank me when you wake up tomorrow.”

“Who are you?”

“Robert, Rick and Leonard are my guardians. You must be Pete?”

“Yeah, but everyone calls me Maverick.”

“We don’t use callsigns under this roof. Only given names. Makes you realize you are not your callsign but human, too.”

“Then yeah, I am Pete. Where are your guardians?”

“Coming! They called your husband, too.” To what Pete groaned, hanging his head low but he kept sipping on the water.

“Maybe you want to move to the kitchen. It must not be good for your knees. Let me help you!”

They sat in silence in the kitchen till four men walked into the kitchen. Robert got up and told Hollywood: “I fixed your paperwork. It is under the couch cushions. I am off to bed. We still on for a run at 6AM?”

“Thanks! Yeah, kiddo, we are.”

He could hear a new voice joining the conversation when he left the kitchen: “What do you mean this 15 year old kid is going through your paperwork?”

“Hey! That is our Bobby and he does some paperwork shit for my company, too.” piped in Slider. “He is really smart. We are raising the best WSO while you failed at raising not angry punk pilot. No surprise Mav pulled his papers. You can’t fly with such mental health.”

“Slider, this is not helping right now.” “No callsigns under this roof, only given names.” said both of his guardians at the same time, confusing Pete and Tom even more.

They really haven’t been around a lot. Iceman becoming Admiral and Maverick trying to piss off as many higher ranking officers as he could while trying to raise a kid. It was no easy job. Wolfman and Hollywood knew that hand first but Bradley’s reaction to this was uncalled for.

“Pete, look at me. We will give Tom numbers of really respectable psychological health center. It is really private but it is time you deal with it all. You can’t go again in spiel over another Bradshaw. Me and Hollywood have a kid that had gone through similar shit and we are not putting him in any kind of danger for his progress to drop. Also our own progress to drop. You call them when you feel like it is time but Pete never ever again come to this house door drunk like this. I will call Ron and he will be happy to finally whoop your arse.” ranted off Leonard. These two men could be his lifelong friends but he would not put himself or his family in any kind of bad situation. Maverick just nodded while Iceman was standing close to him with hand on his shoulder. “You did a better job than me and Ic…I meant Tom.”

“You will get used to it. We had help. Our house doors are open to you. We have family dinner each Friday.” said Rick, helping their guests out of their house. When everyone was gone, he slid near his Wolfman and whispered: “That gives me a hard on.” To which Leonard answered: “Don’t tease me.” Order was mixed but that was how it started. Rick really felt turned on by Leonard’s rant.

Ron is in for a ride and when Bob turns 18, he will become his partner because that kid had saved some thousand dollars for Slider with his amazing reading skills that take notice of smallest details.

Also Bob will choose to do his engineering degree before going to pilot school. He wants to spend more time with Leo and Rick and Ron. Now Pete and Tom, too, before he goes off to become WSO.

When Ice gots sick, Robert cuts his deployment and is there for his uncle Tom because he knows the man. He will act though while he suffers. So Bob pauses his life a bit to help Pete and other Uncles to take care of Tom while Pete is away. They all learn ASL to be able to talk with Tom because no one gets left behind in this family. Tom is Admiral and gets Robert spot on Top Guns engineering team but in the end Bob ends up to be Admirals Kazansky right hand. Writing papers, taking calls and etc. "NOW LOOK WHO ALLOWS BOBBY TO DO HIS PAPERS." *pointed fingers and all*AT LEAST HE DOESN'T HAVE A CHICKEN SHIT HAND WRITING RONNIE it's what Ice totally signs back to Slider. (thank you @pollyna for this one.)

Ice gets better and Bob is sent on deployment to keep his skills sharp. Still he feels bad for leaving his family but all of them say he should go. Penny told him she will keep an eye on those trouble makers. Uncle Pete and Tom will wait with their wedding when he gets back because Hollywood and Wolfman married straight up few hours after DADT was lifted. Bobby was ring bearer. It was a small ceremony in their house's backyard with closest people. It was simple but heartwarming like those two.

On carrier Bob kept getting care packages that he shared with other people on his squadron. They didn't question it, enjoying tasty stuff that was in those. Bob was happy to share the love he gets from his family.

In one of the runs of the plane, Bob didn't like the sound of the plane. Uncle Pete and Ron always have told him to listen to planes. He told his pilot that something was wrong and they got to go back to the carrier but he dismissed it, telling Bob not to sweat it. The pilot was sweating it when their plane was going down fast. They ejected and then Robert's body hit the water's surface. He was just floating in the water thinking about his parents and grandma. Will he join them now? No, no, he had reason to live. There was a big family waiting for him to come home. He felt so tired and his head hurt. He could hear Wolfman screaming in his head to stay awake. He did try, oh God, he did try. Robert hoped that his parents and grandma would protect him at this moment and he could float back home safely somehow.

Bob woke up to the clean smell that always came with hospitals. He was used to it after picking Tom up after his chemo. But why was he here? He tried to move and all his muscles just screamed in pain.

"Hey, hey, Bobby, don't move. You are bruised everywhere."

Bob squeezed his eyes because that sounded like Uncle Pete. He was deployed on a ship nearby.

"Uncle Pete?"

"Yeah, that is me." Whispered the older man, squeezing Roberts hand. "I know you are confused how I am here but our carrier got a mayday signal and I flew out. While in the air they told us more details. I thoug....I thought I will need to tell Rick and Leonard that their son died."

"Brought back bad memories?"

"Yes, kiddo. Still working on them with a therapist. Kinda hard to get through something you burried down in 1986. Then I noticed you in the ocean and called the boat to get you from my carrier." Bob just hummed, finally opening eyes to see Mavericks green eyes looking at him.

"Is the pilot okay?"

"That is our Bobby we know. Always worrying about others. He is back on your carrier. He won't be after your dads get to him. Not to count Iceman calling, too. He is flying out with Ron." Bob groaned. He was not dying. He will be okay. At the same time it warmed him over to know his family got his back.

"Someone needs to keep uncle Ron in check."

"Don't worry! Let us take care of you for once. He shouldn't fear Ron but Tom. To ignore what their WSO says and especially one that had been Admirals right hand. Really dumb. Do you want to tell me what happened?"

"We flew up in the air and the plane didn't sound right. Something was not right even if I checked on it before flight but my pilot distracted me before I could get to the engines. I told the pilot it and he ignored it. After 3 minutes we are falling into the ocean because our engine is on fire. Then my body hit the water and I passed out."

"Bobby, you know that real pilots don't do that. No one gets left behind."

"I know, uncle Pete. I will go back to sleeping. Wake me up when worrywarts get here."

After this incident Robert ends up being deployed in Lemoore and he could go home on weekends without trouble. Then uncle Pete goes missing because he pushed the Darkstar too far. Of course, he comes back to them as Maverick does. Then comes the next punch in the gut. Tom was doing his routine check ups and they told him cancer was back. Bobby was there with him because Maverick had to come back from his bruising. He could see that uncle Tom took it as a death sentence.

"No, uncle Tom. You are stronger than this. We are going to a different clinic."

"No use." Wrote to Tom on his phone.

"No, I am not giving up on you and you are neither. You hear me. You have every reason to live. I will call uncle Ron if you don't follow me to this other clinic."

"Okay!"

"Great."

It took three long days for the blood test results to come back. Robert and Tom were visiting doctor in this new clinic. Keeping it all under wraps to not worry their closest. Doctor told them that there must have been some mistake in testing because it looked all good in this blood test but to be 100% they would need Iceman to check in each week. The relief both men felt.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, all the markers are clear."

After such a miracle they both knew it was time to bring Bradley back and there was only one way to do it. The suicide mission. His dads won't be happy but they will get it. Especially with uncle Pete being the teacher.

There was the first training session with him, Phoenix and Hangman as a team. The blonde man teased him, hitting the target with Baby on board. But Robert could give back as well as he got it. Seresin left them to die which would not roll with uncle Pete or him. So after training, he cornered Hangman.

"What do you need, Bob?"

"Never leave your wingman behind. You may be the best pilot here but you can't do this mission alone. And we can keep up with you, if you don't think with your ego. Also yes, Bob stands for Baby on board. My dads gave me my callsign." With that Robert left with a gaping Hangman behind him. Javy got out of shower, piping up: "You know he is right, Jake. You can't do it alone."

"Damn that stealth pilot."

But after that uncle Pete was not keen on putting Jake with Bob in the same group. Then all hell broke loose when Jake reminded two men about Bradley's dad. Robert knew Jake was right.

Somehow Robert has ended up as friends with Bradley. He saw both of his uncles in the man and two people he had heard only stories about. Phoenix seemed to trust Rooster but Bob could not shake the feeling of his instincts that Bradley is not ready for it. Jake's words resounding in his mind. Bob had all the reasons to come back alive from this mission. The day on the beach was what they needed. They finally felt like the team. After they went back to the Hard deck. Somehow it ended up only him and Jake left from his squad.

“It seems Hangman had been left hanging?"

"You are funny, baby on board." Slurred Jake.

"Do you need a drive home?"

"I don't have a home. Just leave me be."

"No, in this family no one gets left behind. You should have learned that after my first rant. You can stay at my place for tonight."

"Okay."

Next morning Robert woke up later than usual to come down and see Jake being sat at end of table. His eyes jumping from his dads to uncles.

"Hey, Robert! Why didn't you say your family is made up from Top Gun class '86 best pilots?"

It seems Rick and Leonard had drilled their one house rule in Jake.

"You didn't ask, Jake. Also people start to treat you differently when you explain it. Did they already integorate you?"

"Bobby, you wound us. We were on our best behavior here." Answered uncle Ron.

"I will believe that when ostrich's will start to fly. I know you wanted to talk with him since first training."

"Yeah, yeah, Bobby. He is a good kid."

"Reminds you of you, Ron?" Asked Rick who was making waffles. It made both Ron and Jake choke on their coffees. Uncle Tom didn't take his eyes off Jake that made him twitch anxiously.

"He is just angry that you hurt his husband. He will get over it in a few days. Uncle Tom knows you are right about Rooster. Maybe, possibly, uncle Tom could talk uncle Pete into giving our trio another chance to fly together."

"I will think about it." Tom signed back. Jake seemed to relax also.

Bob again was in hospital. This time after the bird strike. He knew someone was there but when he opened his eyes all was blurry. Someone helped to put his glasses back on. Those were his spares because it was flurry before his eyes could focus. In a chair tiny for him sat Bradley 'Rooster' Bradshaw.

"Hey! How are you?"

"Like I just ejected from the plane." answered Robert, something not nicely scrapping in his chest. Those guilty looks Bradley kept sending him did make the feeling get worse.

"What did you do?" No movement from the Rooster. "What did you tell Maverick?" Bullseye. Bradley looked at Bob so quickly he could hear the man's neck crack.

"I will ask one more time what the fuck did you tell Maverick?"

"He told me how you were taken to hospital. How when you work in this field for long you're gonna lose someone. I exploded at him and told him no one will mourn him if he burns in."

Robert felt like someone had slapped him. He started to push the call nurse button. The middle aged woman ran in his room and he rumbled down: "Man with panic attack at top gun base. Where did you leave him?"

"In common room."

"Please, call Admiral Kazansky - Mitchell straight away." She nodded and left the room. Bob has had enough of this idiot ruining his family. Uncle Ron once said that everyone was coddling Bradley and now he got to see the consequences of this coddling. This ends now. "You are a selfish prick, Bradley Bradshaw. Thinking only - me, me. Did you ever think who was powerful enough in both yours and commanders life to ask to pull your papers?"

"Mom." Bradley breathed out.

"Woohoo! You have won back one brain cell. While you ran away and didn't look back, I was there. I had to look at them while going through losing you. I was there when uncle Tom fell ill with cancer. It had to be you who was there not me. He helped you when your mom was ill but you were not there." Bradley was opening his mouth to retort something. "Don't you dare to say they could call you. We all tried but you blocked all of us and then changed your number. You kept on running from them but they kept an eye on you. Right now I have no idea why. They love you so much and you simply gave it up. You gave up people who love you unconditionally. If something happens to uncle Pete and he can't teach us anymore, I will punch you so hard you will fall in tomorrow. You are selfish, Bradley, and a hazard to my family. So I would love to ask you to go check on Phoenix before my family is here because I won't stop uncle Ron this time. Get help, Bradshaw, than maybe one day you can come back to them and be part of this family."

Rooster got up and silently left the room. Bob was right; he really did hurt his only living family. It was time to talk with Phoenix. She always had good advice.

They were on carrier and waiting for captain Mitchell to call his team's names. All that was left was uncle Pete's wingman. Bob already knew who he gonna choose but he couldn't stop muttering under his breath: "Not Rooster, not Rooster."

It was too late now. Robert looked at Bradley with one look saying: "You better bring him back in one piece."

It seemed to be going good so far and then uncle Pete was down because he saved Bradley and then Bradley too was down. Bob felt all his strength leave him but they had to get back to carrier. Also that it was his uncle Pete and Pete's kid. If there is anyone who can come back from this, than it is those two. There was signal on the radar from Rooster and small relief went trough Bob. Soon enough they were back on carrier. Bob made his way to his uncle. He hugged him as hard as he could. Then he turned to Bradley.

"You kept your promise?"

"I did. I want to be part of this family again. Thank you for kicking my arse."

"Happy to help, Bradley, but if you would excuse me, I need to give something to your savior."

"Go get him, Bob." laughed Bradley. Robert found Jake hiding from the huge crowd.

"I thought you would be basking in the lights of your success?"

"Not really feeling it."

"I wanted to thank you for saving my family memebers." said Bob, pressing his lips to side of Jakes cheek when the other man turned his head and their lips connected. Bob doesn't know how long they just stood there making out. "Good to know that I already had shovel talk from members of your family."

a scene of him being held accountable for it.

Sure.

It's a bottle episode that takes place mostly in BoJack's trailer for the Horny Unicorn, other than the opening scene. Kelsey sees BoJack's second interview (in this version of the story the 17 minutes thing doesn't happen), and among many things, recognises that he's been left stranded in the cruel world of Hollywoo with no one to turn to. Not wanting him to experience the same thing she did, she offers him a role in her film. The rest of the episode is spent as Gina, not wanting to spend any more time with BoJack but not wanting to come clean about the incident, goes to his trailer to convince him privately not to take the role.

Gina's tone starts off very assertive, angrily reminding him that he promised to not interfere with her ever again. BoJack then tries to explain his situation to her, including how desperately he needs the money. Gina goes off on how badly her life has been affected by what BoJack did, how it has affected every film she's been in since, and how he probably hasn't even thought about it since it happened. At some point in the middle, however BoJack delivers his argument by jumping from his seat and shouting, which causes Gina to completely regress. She changes tact to just start Begging BoJack to not take the role, while regressing helplessly into the corner of the room. Within this time, it clicks for BoJack exactly what he did, exactly how much damage he created, exactly how much he hurt the woman he loved. He makes a few feeble attempts to explain his addiction, but Gina (slightly more confidently) rebuttals him, in a dark echo to Todd's speech at the end of S3. In one final attempt, she offers him money to reject the role, of which he only takes half, and leaves.

BoJack responds to Kelsey's email, telling her that due to personal conflicts, he doesn't feel comfortable taking the role. Feeling extremely broken, he breaks back into his old house, for comfort's sake, only to find a box with his old stuff in it: the Philbert letter, a photo of his friends, and the You Are Secretariat poster. Overwhelmed by the latter of the three, he decides to go swimming.

To be fair, Bojack was just trying to keep Hollyhock from getting hurt and just went about it the wrong way, he wasn't being intentionally malicious. He just explained what concerned him in the completely wrong way.

Yeah, I'm not going to do the "to be fair" game with Bojack because that's a slippery slope. To be fair, he didn't actually do anything with Penny and her friend had been drinking before he gave her bourbon and water to drink (even though as the fifty-year-old adult Bojack should've created clear boundaries with Penny and should not have given her teenage friends alcohol and left them at a hospital after convincing Repeat Pete to lie about where the alcohol came from). To be fair, Sarah-Lynn had been looking for a reason to break her sobriety so Bojack calling her to party because he was feeling nihilistic and sad (even though he'd apparently been a big champion of her sobriety in previous episodes and he was her father figure and he took advantage of her precarious relationship with sobriety when he could've just done this bender alone) so he's blameless in what happened.

There are a million other things Bojack could've said to Hollyhock (lol what did I say, Hollychuck) to express concern over her getting hurt. He could've just said that sometimes people just use other people for sex, especially in Hollywoo, and it doesn't actually mean that they're interested in a relationship, but he said, come on, he's surrounded by half-naked sexy women all day and you even said yourself that you're a blob. He could've just stopped at he's a teen guy surrounded by half-naked sexy women all day so it would be hard for him to be faithful but he didn't. Because Bojack never stops at where it's appropriate to.

Furthermore, he admits to Diane that the reason he doesn't think anyone could like Hollyhock is because she's his daughter, it's actually all about his own self-loathing because Bojack is a narcissist and like all of the seasons before this one, his actions/words had a damaging effect on the people around him because he's a wrecking ball.

Hi! I need to ask you just one thing, please don’t take this question as ways of attacking you.

So, I was in another fandom some time ago and I learned not to be involved in love dramas/private life of celebrities. I mean, it is his life, I know she’s a huge red flag, but I always think “Who am I to talk shit about a person who doesn’t even know my existence?”. Don’t you think that this is too much, starting all this big drama for a looser woman?

Thanks for the reply ✨

I know that I just said we are comedy group and not a news source BUT it's still a stupid news source. Committing tax fraud here 🧚🏻‍♀️

For meeeee myself personally me? I don't wanna start any big drama, Imma here just for the laughs x.x and the drama x.x and actually validation after years of waiting ;c especially since the choose love post. I will be never reimbursed for that post, never

Been making that point over the past week, some peeps chipped in too. It is not about the love life or the 'are they friends or not' or the privacy whatsoever. It is not about a looser woman at all. Well, it is also sbout the gossip BUT!

It's about Benny Boy. He made hundreds love him by spoon feeding them with the he ain't the Hollywoo type, that he's private (the secrecy and mystery actually interested peeps too), cultured, educated and so so so on...

Like everyone knows that the famous folks are nothing like what they present themselves to be BUT boy was great at doing everything to cover himself. Did wonders for him cuz he has (HAD?!?!?!) thousands of adoring fans ready to always have his back, arms, ass or arteries even. He never gave them A BIG reason to doubt him.

Now, the friendship (or more) with fairy queen is basically complete opposite of who he always said he was. Sooooo nope, it's actually not about the love dramas/private life. It's about a liar who got busted, a man who thought he can have whatever he wants but turns out he can't.

I don't think starting this big drama is a bit much. The fans of his, from teenage girls to adults, have every right to be fucking mad at him. They invested time and money in him. And now it turns out that the man that they believed in so much (parasocial relationship much I'd say), thought he's on their side and supports them, is actually pretty fucking close with a (sorry for going a lil old testamenty here) generally bad person. It's not talking shite (I mean it also is, mostly cuz this is great source of jokes), it's demanding accountability for his words and actions. I mean like I know he never idk killed anybody and there are better things to do, but peeps are mad and they are in the right. It's basically MLM scheme Benny made and it's falling apart as we speak.

And I spoke about this a long time ago I think, but there is the centuries long discussion about how much celebrities/famous folks owe us. Can ye separate the art from the artist. And me (AGAIN MA PERSONAL) opinion is that ye can't. They theoretically owe us nothing. They have no responsibility to us, the commoners. BUT! When they chose actively to involve themselves with public causes and share their opinions? I mean their involvement with world events here, to shorten it. Then they do have the responsibility of their actions changing over them. If the famous folks don't wanna take the responsibility, prove credibility of their actions or be judged, they should keep their mouths fucking shut. 95% of time they have no authority to speak on the matter, yet they do. It's called performative activism.

So when they are outed to be who they really are in private (hello there Benny!) then yeee, go drag their asses. His fans basically sponsored his flop music career and whole livelihood actually cuz fan cons are his main source of income, and it turns out they were lied to. If they are mad and disappointed, let them be. Imma not even mad, not even disappointed. Imma just here like babe I told ye all so.

I noticed it here on tumblr, and was told some more about other parts of the web by ma muffins, but peeps are reducing it to it's personal life and none of our business. Which true but also not. Ye know who reduces it to celebrity love life drama only? People who try to excuse all his bullshite and try to minimise it, and don't see the actual problem there cuz it does not affect them personally. Wonder why would they do that hmmm? Something in common with Benny? just ma lazy thoughts x.x

If it really was just about the relationship mingling - Benny dating either his costar (as fans would like) or another someone, then yeee the drama would be like 50/50, probably more excessive than it should be. Fun but also not fun. This one is sadly not about that. It runs much much deeper.

IT GETS EASIER.... it really does.

Hey Boj,

Hehe,well anyways my whole life I've dealt with depression,alcoholic/abusive mother,suicidal thoughts/self harm,in and out of foster care,and just horrible family and "friends" around me. I dealt with a negative mindset or" rain cloud" over my head & heart which made me emotionally numb to care about myself and others,just hating myself the most. I got into my dads custody around 15 after my mom abandoned me(while we were living in a halfway house and shelter that we eneded up in because of her addiction)at 14 just few weeks shy of my birthday,which put me in foster care for the 3rd time,my dad smokes pot so he had to drop pot for a full year right then and there till he got full custody of me. I love my dad hes just very narcissistic,and abusive when hes angry which is a lot, but hes sadly all I have left. I was still depressed,I was diagnosed with PTSD from everything I endured with my mother,btw I've been diagnosed with adhd,depression,panic and anxiety attacks, and in therapy since I was 5yrs old. So I already had a track record with my mental health and now I had literal abandonment issues. I started to self harm I didnt want to live,I felt that I wasnt worth it,anyways fast forward a year into being with my dad we had to move cause the people we rented from lost their house to gambling issues,so we saved up money n left, but while were between places I'm working my hardest to graduate early which i did so we didnt have a reason to come back a whole county over every day. After we finally moved in and I graduated I had an online friend recommend ur show to me,I almost clicked off after the first epsiode not gonna lie,but I stuck thru it because if people just left after the first time with me they wouldn't get to know me or even be in my life. I stuck through it,had just turned 18 I didnt work for the first 6 months of being 18 through out those 6 months I watched all the 4 seasons that were currently out over and over all day, everyday. Why?cause I fell in love with ur show,and needed to understand it more,I didnt understand some episodes till like the 10th time watching. In the words of Wanda"some things take time". I related to you so much,bojack,from unloving,neglectful parents to just wanting to be something and people to like you even in your self destructive behavior. Feeling nothing on the inside or nothing on the outside. When you started you're brand new attitude or BNA, it really inspired me,but it really hit me when you went back to look for CuddlyWhiskers. When he said " takes a long time to realize how truly miserable you are, and even longer that it doesnt have to be that way. Only after you give up everything can you begin to find a way to be happy." . That really hit me hard,its like a flip switched in my body,I seen things on the other side of the glass for once. I "woke up" sorta.... I realized i am more than my sadness or pain. I smoked a lot of pot and eventually went cold turkey and sober from everything. I wanted to find myself,care for myself, care about me the way I so sadly craved for others to care about me. I started my BNA. I wanted this for me and only me,cause I'm the only one that needed to matter in my world not others. Call me selfish but for the first time in my life I was happy. It took so long for me to truly see how miserable I was,and longer to see the option was always there for me to flip the script. Thank you so much,ik in life we naturally grow in our minds,but I dont think without ur show I wouldn't of clicked so soon or at all to be honest. I didnt think there was someone or anyone who could see things how I did or do. Let alone a talking horse who stands on his own 2 legs and stars in his own movie with a on and off cat gf/agent in the town of Hollywoo. Thank you for being real,raw,and such a genuine display of emotions,nothing was sugar coated things were hit head on. I dont self harm anymore,I rarely have any anxiety or panic attacks,I'm definitely not depressed anymore, I somehow see the cup half empty n half full at the same time. I guess it keeps me sane knowing theres bad and good,and that those options are there and you have to make the beat of which ever you are handed with. Thank you Bojack Horseman,Princess Carolyn,Todd Chavez,Sarah Lynn,Diane Nguyen,even ....ugh Mr.Peanutbutter *face palm*. You all made this show amazing,and this show made my life easier and understandable for the first time. This show did something for me that Doctors, Therapists, prescriptions,religion, family,friends, the system never did for me. This show helped me and most importantly showed me to help myself. Thank you so much!!!! I can not even begin to explain my gratitude for this show and the characters lasting effect on my heart. You saved me from the tar I let myself fall into. I was able to see that light at the end of the tunnel. I've shared what I learned with others and saved some friends IRL and online from the tar that effects us in life. I'm not saying I have all the answers but I sure know that life will not always be this way and that there is hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel even if u have to crawl ur way there and leave some people behind cause those things and people will thrash and struggle and try to take you down with them. You have to find ur way up from whatevers putting you down. See things from the other side. Not many people know it doesnt have to be this way even if that sounds easy it's really not,but knowing it can be helps and those around you willing to help really helps. Thank you for being there for me,thank you for showing me you can do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around,cause that's what it's all about. 😭 I CAN NOT THANK YOU ENOUGH THE ENDING BREAKS MY HEART BUT IT BRINGS IT BACK TOGETHER IN A WHOLE NEW WAY.IM HAPPY SEEING ALL OF YOU HAVE A POSITIVE ENDING A TURN AROUND OR TURNING YOURSELF AROUND 😂💕 THANK YOU BOJ, I WILL MISS YOU DEARLY BUT WILL ALWAYS CARRY WHAT YOU TAUGHT ME

LOVE,SOPHIA DEMARTINO OF FULLERTON,CALIFORNIA,USA.

THANK YOU SO MUCH💕💕💕💕💕

P.S. thank you,again,obviously....

tell us about your bjh s/i / selfship!! i love the show... i've watched its entirety a few times now. what's he like? how'd he meet mr. pb? does he get along well with the other main characters, or not?

OMG so!

I have a lot for them - I started self shipping with Mr Peanutbutter when the first season aired, before the show got big. So I was the only BJHM self shipper back then so I was kinda well known for it (like people would send me fics in my asks...miss that)

My guy is named Deerdog! His real first name is Rex but he just gets called Deerdog. He's a purple tufted deer (The deer with the fangs!)

Here's an old image of them- it was submitted to me on anon back then and I never knew who did it. It looks So Canon that I wonder if a crew member did it(Once again, if anyone knows who Did draw it, lmk!)

Here's a more up to date pic of them together by worstie @sapiosexual-riddler (Worstie because I hate its username </3 /lh)

They met when Deerdog was a showrunner on a cartoon that Mr Peanutbutter was cast as a guest star for. Funny enough- BoJack originally had the voice role but Deerdog found him SO insufferable that he kicked him off the show. So he was expecting more stress recasting at the last minute- but Mr PB actually ended up making him laugh and to him, really did embody the character who was very sweet.

Deerdog made soooo many excuses to be around him- this was before Mr PB dated Diane(Deerdog is a lot older than he looks. He's cursed with babyface like me.)and PB happened to be single...so Deerdog shoot his shot and got a date. They really did hit it off well. The main issue was- Mr PB was very passive in standing up for Deerdog with other celebs. Deerdog had not had top surgery back then so he looked feminine. PB always got the pronouns right, but wouldn't always correct others who didn't- which wasn't alright At All and is why they ended up breaking up despite being good together otherwise. There was also issues with Deerdog's unmedicated/uncontrolled BPD. He did lash out and struggle with jealousy- a lot. They really both had their issues and it was best for them to split sadly.

So, flash forward to current day Hollywoo. What changes from the canon version is PB only dates Pickles for a short amount of time- she realizes a lot sooner she should *really* be with someone that 1. Wont cheat on her and 2. Is better (Joey Pogo My Beloved). In the show after they broke off, it's clear Mr PB is taking a break from dating. Well- dating women. I think he thinks back to the one man he dated...Deerdog. He thinks a lot about it for months and months- over the fact that he and Deerdog probably got on the best out of all his relationships. The fact that there wasn't the age power imbalance(Which...king this shouldnt have taken you SO long to figure out was an issue with your relationships but hey at least you finally did. Unlike SOME people. Staring at the fucked up horse.). They both had the same love language. Even after all this time, PB still thought about him pretty frequently. His other exes he was able to fall out of love with but IDK...Deerdog was different.

So he ended up finding Deerdog's art instagram and DMing him. Deerdog was honestly very surprised- he had been out of the TV/Movie game for a long time and was just doing indie projects now- he honestly thought PB had forgotten about him completely. He still had his aprehension- the main reason he hadn't really dated much since the breakup was due to society's transphobia which, sadly, had only gotten worse. But he agreed to meet up with PB.

When they met up for coffee at Starbarks, I think they started with small talk and then an awkward silence...and PB apologized for not sticking up for Deerdog- explaining that it wasn't OK. Deerdog was Very taken aback by this and maybe started tearing up a bit. The bar is on the floor but it was passed at the very least. Deerdog also explained he was very sorry for his behavior back then- he's since gotten therapy and mental health help, and if PB was open to it, he'd love to be friends again.

And well...they didn't stay friends long. Because they started dating again a few weeks into being Friends again. This time it goes much, much better. Their time apart had allowed them to grow as people.

Long Story Short, they DO get married- and everyone thinks it's going to end like the last ones since they had only been dating a year...but it didn't. It lasts- it's still going. They absolutely have issues sometimes but they're able to use coping skills and communication skills instead of letting themselves bottle it up and get mad about it.

Their ship name is Peanutbutterjelly btw

Expanding Horizons: Transforming Rooms Through Strategic Additions

In the context of home design, growth entails more than simply raising the physical size of a residence. It has to do with improving the format and capability of the space to much better satisfy the requirements of the passengers, whether it's to suit a growing household, adjust to transforming lifestyles, or enhance overall comfort and livability.

For instance, extensions ought to not disrupt website traffic patterns but rather improve them where possible. Similarly, lighting should correspond across old and repairs to stop stark contrasts that can bring about pain or confusion for citizens. Soundproofing considerations are similarly essential if an additional area is implied for enjoyment or work objectives.

Basically, integrating new rooms into an existing style demands a thorough interest in information and a deep understanding of building principles along with human behavior within constructed settings.

Was thinking recently about how trash motion blur is, which led to thinking about cinematography tropes and shenanigans that I don't like, and because the action genre is the easiest one to pick on, i present to you:

WHY DARK HALLWAY FIGHT SCENES ARE JUST BAD

Have you ever seen a scene where the MC starts fighting in a dark room while gunshots/sparks from metal clashing are the only source of light and each time one of these go across the screen we can see The Action ™ for a brief moment.

Well i don't like when that happens, and because i am so chivalrous and benevolent towards the good people of hollywoo, i'll explain why this sucks in this essay and even offer a solution!

1. It just sucks.

I'm not epileptic, i don't get sick or anything related to flashing lights, but these scenes have actually made me feel sick since i saw them with 7-like years old on some fast&furiouse movie i saw with my family and i still hate them.

The sole idea of this format feels jarring visually because it creates a brief moment of disconection or uncertainty in the viewer, but not the cool "outmatched" or "outplayed" kind of situation where the uncertainty comes from not knowing what happens next or how the MC will or could come out of this situation (if the media is good enough to make you feel like the MC is not invincible)

We know that they're kicking ass. You are not a god of cinematography by covering our eyes and giving us the ilusion of fast paced shots and takes and it just feels unconfortable for the watcher (and potentially lethal for someone who can have a seizure at the mention of porygon)

2. I just don't like it lol

WHAT'S BETTER THEN?

These scenes are used in more grittier "vigilante" settings to emphazise the edginess (i guess..?) of the world and the poor conditions of the place where the Kombat happens. So i think the solution is

STEALTH SCENES JESUS CHRIST

Stealth scenes do the exact same thing as dark hallway fights and better by kilometers!

The outmatched thing can be reserved for other instances knowing that in the dark hallway scene the MC wins against the small army of nameless goons, so taking them silently not only makes more sense but can also match the setting or the goal of the character. (for example spider-man stealth where the setting is not exactly dark but it makes sense)

The dark hallway scenes on the other side are just a slightly faster version of these and feel just wrong.

BALLS TRIPPIN WHILE KILLING PEOPLE SCENE

To be honest i think this could only apply to animated media but something something hotline miami 2 ending with The Son could be awesome to see, just imagine the goons deforming on neon colors on an abyss while some EDM song blaring in the background.

This one is more limited because it could only be on clubs of when the MC is high and it's not exactly tender with people who can have seizures so.

#i've wanted to talk abt this since i was nine years old LMAO #i'm also not a cinematographist so i just wrote this out of the heavy bias towards being able to watch the goddamn movie #cinematography #action movies

55. Kaveman

A side-scroller featuring a caveman (naturally) who swings a club. At first it's very simplistic and repetitive, just walking to the right and smashing small enemies. Then you recover a stone knife, and new pathways start to open up; it's a prehistoric Metroidvania!

"Not a lot to say about this one except FEATHERED DINOS?" Indeed, looks like the designers did their research! Sort of. Feathers on the therapods, sauropods too. Feathered bugs? Feathered plant creatures?!

HNV: They looked up whether to put feathers on the dinosaurs, but not whether to put dinosaurs in the game!

"I'm just so used to dinosaurs in caveman games I don't even bat an eye anymore. Look there's a smilodon, are you happy now, Mr. Science-Face?"

"A feathered smilodon. I want one. You do too, don't lie!"

HNV: Yes... *grouse* Pink punk feathered mohawk on a saber cat is rad, I admit it.

"It can throw its mohawk like a boomerang! You can't prove they didn't!" It's a boss and the hardest yet, especially when it starts leaping around and shooting its own teeth out as well! "It's easiest to just crouch in the corner and spam the Torch, that does the most damage.”

Every boss you defeat yields a new weapon (this one provides a powerful atlatl) and something else, a piece of metal or wood, that gets lumped onto your subscreen somewhere. The Kaveman appears to be building something!

It's hard to tell what it is, until Bea defeats the next boss (a giant Terror Bird) and wins a sling and... what is very clearly, with no allowances made for copyright, the Flux Capacitor.

"GREAT SCOTT!" she exclaims upon realization. "Not even a major BTTF fan but I will absolutely say that if I have the opportunity."

The final stage is a tower-like mountain where she has to deal with pterosaurs, spiky rocks, howling wind, and the last boss, of course- a made cave-scientist who holds the last part she needs!

Once she defeats him and his robotic feathered T. Rex, the scientist jumps back down the mountain with a cry of: YOU'LL BE SORRY! But there's the power source she needs: finally, Kaveman's time machine is complete!

DueyDecimal: Makes me wonder if the main character is himself a caveman, or a time traveler lost in prehistoric times?

"Perhaps they're two rivals, each trying to return to the present to claim they discovered time travel first? Former friends? Former lovers? The world may never know.. or maybe the ending will explain everything"

Kaveman (for lack of any other name) locks himself into his completed machine, lightning crackles... and suddenly he's in the pyramids of Egypt.

Crack! He's in ancient Greece. Crack! He's in Camelot. CRACK! He's in Hollywood!

"Hollywoo- Oh man he IS gonna be sorry, they're gonna make a movie out of him!"

CRACK! He's... floating in space in the shattered remains of Earth. "....Oh." He looks rather confused... and then an ominous, serpentine, five-headed silhouette rears up behind him.

-THE END?-

"I... I think you forgot to make that left turn at Albuquerq- fFFAAAAA!!"

Klickitat_Street: GREGREGREGREGREG

"GREG GO TO YOUR ROOM! Or go to your game! Scarin’ the royal jelly outta me.." She calms herself with a handful of trail mix. "If you're looking for your dad you just missed him, I believe."

Baconnaise: Kaveman confirmed for canon w/ POP, official prequel

"Like Syrup said, they're probably reusing sprites.. but that one was definitely our old metal friend, no mistake."

aroseahorseboy: did Glem's mom just live on a big piece of world while they waited? berg_snurglar: bea he's crushin on you lol. good luck w/ that HNV: End bosses are probably huge sugar daddies

"Not much planet left was there." She sighs and shrugs. "I dunno, maybe this is a different earth, or another timeline, who knows. I really doubt they thought all this through beyond a few games anyway. But I DO want to hear your headcanon, so fire me a message if you have a theory!"

DueyDecimal: You sorta blew through that, it didn't even take 40 minutes... maybe that's the 'bad end'

The Amazing T.k has recently released a new project: "The Hollywood Callback"

November 2022 - The music industry is probably at its most competitive, with artists fighting tooth and nail to carve a niche for themselves and capture the audience’s attention span. However, some of the most gifted and one-of-a-kind performers out there are those who aren’t concerned with numbers and streams: they want to do it to share something different, follow their heart and tell their stories through music. This is most definitely the case of artist The Amazing T.k. This talented singer and songwriter has created a distinctive sound that feels like a very seamless combination of pop and rap. His most recent release, "The Hollywood Callback", is a great introduction to his vision. This album offers 14 songs, which is an incredible achievement, especially when considering that most rappers actually create singles rather than full-length listening experiences. This is a way for the artist to give his audience something more, and connect with his audience on a deeper level. The album covers a really huge stylistic spectrum. The opening track, “Warning” hits hard from the get go. The song has a cutting synth sound and a very powerful beat, which really offers a perfect backbone to the powerful voice of the artist. “Weed and Wine” is another heavy hitter with a more traditional trap influence, tipping the hat off to iconic artists such as Lil Wayne or Joey Bada$$, only to mention a few. The song 9*1*1* has a really hard hitting edge, with a minimalistic, dark instrumental that highlights the pure rawness and energy that drives The Amazing T.K’s delivery and lyrical flow.

There are so many special moments on this album, but one of the most outstanding tracks is perhaps the song “Hold On,” which combines the artist’s penchant for an harder rap sound with his love of melody. It’s almost as if this album had an arch, with a first half focusing on more direct and edgy songs, while the second half of the album veers towards more melodic moments and a unique touch, with more room for personal storytelling and deeper songwriting. The song “Let Go” is a perfect example of some of the finest storytelling on the album, and it showcases The Amazing T.K’s ability to tell stories through music, borrowing from his life, but also doing something that people can easily relate to.

Some songs are pure hard-hitting bangers with a lot of power and energy. There is also room for introspective and melodic songs, such as the amazing “Waiting,” which offers amazing keyboard parts and lush melodies, with lyrics that are introspective and easy to relate to. It feels like each track is an opportunity for the artist to explore some additional ideas. For instance, “Roll With Us” is yet another unique arrangement. The song features 80s inspired synth tones with astounding atmospherics and a cinematic feel. This song is big and iconic, and it feels like a perfect introduction to the ambitious sound of this release. The song “Aligning with the Stars” is the melodic pinnacle of this release, and the song with more of a pop twist. The change of pace is very welcome, and it is yet another layer of depth and variety on this amazing album. The curtain closer, “House of Cards,” is just as memorable, and it feels like a perfect way to send off the audience and bring the album to an ending. This is a more old-school beat, and the flavor has a bit of a late 90s, early 2000s vibe on this particular song.

The album is immersive, luring listeners in with an ethereal sound from the moment they hit the play button. However, there is also a lot of energy to the release, with a driven arrangement that allows the vocals to stand out. The Amazing T.k’s work is reminiscent of the sound of iconic artists such as Drake, Jay Z, Mac Miller and Logic, but there is definitely something a lot more distinctive about his approach to this genre.

Find out more about The Amazing T.k, and listen to "The Hollywood Callback". This release is currently available on all digital music streaming platforms.

https://open.spotify.com/album/2YMRnqhhJowEL76NsjroeI?si=EWa7HNVNTCWgyCk9mrpfPA&utm_source=copy-link

We also had the opportunity to ask the artist a few questions: keep reading for more!

I love how you manage to render your tracks so personal and organic. Does the melody come first, or do you focus on the beat the most?

Answer:

It depends. I write often and come up with melodies, so I'll either create the beat myself or hit up a producer that fits the vibe of the song. Sometimes I'll get a beat from a producer and then I come up with the melody and concept afterwards.

Do you perform live? If so, do you feel more comfortable on a stage or within the walls of the recording studio?

Answer:

I perform live and when I do I definitely feel more like an entertainer than I do when in the studio. In the studio I feel more like an artist.

If you could only pick one song to make a “first impression” on a new listener, which song would you pick and why?

Answer:

"Aligning with the stars" because it showcases my ear for a good melody and my lyrical skills wrapped in a playful demeanor.

What does it take to be “innovative” in music?

Answer:

It takes an innovative thinker.

Any upcoming release or tour your way?

Answer:

My current album "The Hollywood Callback" is streaming on all platforms and my video game "The Amazing T.k's Suburban Nightmares" is currently available on Steam

Anywhere online where curious fans can listen to your music and find out more about you?

Answer:

My latest album is streaming on all platforms.

Other than that I have a website "www.theamazingtk.org" and an Instagram where people can find out more about me "@theamazingtk".
