And I Still Love The Idea That Swap!pb Had Crush On Swap!bojack - Blog Posts

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
