I often forget to post here and I'm so sorry for this...
Some days ago I did more for my swap Bojack AU, it's my comfort AU after all! Since I started it I wanted to draw Pickles, however, I had NO idea how to start a human design for her. I finally tried. I needed to redraw her plenty of times, but she's here! I hope she feels and looks enough like Pickles.
Herb, on the other hand, was pretty easy to design lmao
The rest is just cat Diane stuff because I love her.
So, I drew this back in October 2021 but only shared it on the BoJack Horseman Reddit - I liked the idea of lining up the diamonds in Bojacks family tree, ending up with Hollyhock breaking away from their family trauma. I only realised after the sketch that Honey doesn’t have a diamond but I still wanted her to be at the top.
I wasn't going to post today, but the part 2 of this AU is already done so....
Pickles is unironically my favorite character here, I have big plans for her.
More informations under the cut:
Like last time, it's Instagram's original description so it might sound confusing in some parts.
Bojack and Rand being swapped was the easier choice because, to be fair, they're kinda similar. Buuuut also so different the plots will have to change a lot, especially their relationship with Diane and Reagan. Rand used to be, well, a famous actor in sci-fi sitcom: one that has a way better reboot and where Brett stars. He's very bitter about all of this obviously. Reagan grew up in the celebrity world but was never truly part of it. She prefers to just write for it and support Brett.
Meanwhile, Bojack used to be Cognito's CEO with Herb (and Diane's dad ig), but he was kicked out and now is Diane's roommate. They have a mostly peaceful relationship, but are terrible influences for each other.
And about Pickles:
Alright, let's go! Pickles wasn't swap with anyone, she's her own character, I guess. She works at the PR and Media Manipulation department with PC and is a kind of a "fake influencer" that tries to manipulate her public as Cognito wishes. She doesn't think it's very nice, but they convince all she does is worth it. Besides this little thing, she's living her dream job with an amazing boyfriend and friends she loves… Right?
Her plot won't be so different from canon, what'll change is her relationship with other characters and the fact she's there since the start (when PB met Diane, he was already dating Pickles). And she really, really admires Diane!! She thinks Diane is smart, fun and even says how "she wishes to be like her someday"
So when PB eventually cheats on her… with Diane of all people… Everything hits Pickles a little more, but she tries to understand. Their relationship can still work. She can forgive. She can forget. But, in the moments she feels the worst, she can't help but look at the people that works with her and compare to the public that watches her all time. Why do the people that seems to truly cares about her are the ones she's paid (very badly) to manipulate? Pickles is confused.
I've reviewed the whole "BoJack Horseman" and... well... I love cats and strong women. Princess Carolyn was and remains my favorite character from the main group
