Don’t be shocked when life starts to get good. You deserve that

I wish depression were an emergency. I wish someone could take one look at how sick I am and go “oh my god, we need to get you to a hospital!” and then when we get there I get rushed into surgery and the surgeons say “it’s a good thing you brought her here when you did, this is a seriously advanced case” and then they put me under and spend the next ten hours pulling metres of long, sticky black strands of gunk out of my body, throwing it immediately into an incinerator so that it can’t infect anyone else. And then they could stitch me back up and I could rest a few days, and when I leave the hospital everyone can see how much better I am and they congratulate me saying “well done, you’ve been so brave, I’m so glad you’re ok. I love you.”

This reads like something said by Lemony Snicket

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

lemony stop reminding me that had u known that you'd never see it again, you wouldve taken a longer look

the thing about bojack horseman that still gets me to this day is how it manages to give weight to all horrible things that have been done to bojack AND the horrible things he does to others AND how the entertainment industry runs on various cultures of exploitation and abuse that makes addressing these issues impossible AND the show did all of that simultaneously while ALSO being one of the funniest show's ever made. it's just so superb, a true artistic vision at every level from its writing to its animation style. Despite starting a decade ago and finishing 4 years ago, there's hardly any commentary, political or otherwise, in it that isn't still either intelligently relevant or cleverly prescient. you might think I'm exaggerating when I say this show has never been out of my watch rotation since I started watching it, but I'm not! I love bojack horseman so much and I love that everytime I watch it I find something that moves me. I'll watch it forever. watching it is like therapy, like a friend, like a reminder. Truly the last great streaming show, when I think about it <3
