Me explaining my aus

slightly less badly

(Part 1)

Declared Dead au: Crackerjack doesn’t die! However, everything thinks he does, so everything that happened with Honey still happens. Crackerjack comes home a year later after having been through hell and back only to find his whole world has changed. So this messes him up quite a bit I would say. Also a few decades later he eventually ends up adopting Bojack. So that’s nice

Ghost Bojack au: hey u know that line about how Bojack’s mom tried to drown him in the bathtub when he was 22? Haha yeah

Anyway Herb is completely heartbroken. But then strange things start happening around him… (Bojack was never particularly good at moving on.)

Deserted island au: welp, getting stranded on an island and forcibly removed from all your addictions (drugs, alcohol, and fame) is one way to be forced to confront your problems!

Aka Bojack and a good chunk of the Horsin around crew get stranded on an island together and are forced to go through Character Development

Drift away/foster care au: yeah so I was listening to Drift Away from SU and I started thinking “how could I apply this song to my current hyperfixation”

Anyway Beatrice dies and Butterscotch is Not A Good Dad. Butterscotch never really wanted to be a parent, and he’s certainly not going to do all the child rearing himself!

On the plus side though Bojack eventually makes a good friend in foster care

HNDJD (Herb’s Not Dead, he’s Just Done): okay so what if things still happened the way they did in canon but Herb didn’t die? His cancer goes into remission and he just. Doesn’t hit a peanut truck. He lives and the funeral never happens and so Bojack never reconnects with Charlotte. Because of this, Bojack has a much different biggest regret when on his apology tour with Sarah Lynn.

(Also despite the fact that this au diverges from canon a lot later than my other aus, the divergence point being season 2 episode 3, the actual first divergence is that Bojack doesn’t sleep with Sarah Lynn because. He just doesn’t okay. )

GTMAC AU (Give This Man A Cat): 90s Bojack gets redemption arced via the power of an itty bitty kitty :) Edit: now has a fic I wrote

Never Fired au: Herb doesn’t get outed and fired during Horsin around. Instead, Herb gets outed and fired a few years later while working on a different show. Despite the fact that they haven’t been super close for a while, Bojack goes to check up on Herb when he hears about what happened, and considering practically everything else has abandoned him at this point, it means a lot to Herb. They end up becoming best friends again, and then the whole thing evolves into a decades long slow burn

Bojack Catman au: Instead of marrying Butterscotch, Beatrice says “screw it” and gives him up for adoption instead. Bojack is adopted by a family of cats and acts like one. This au started off mostly crack but then I started adding feels

Hello

And welcome to

Me badly explaining all of my bjhm aus

Declared dead au: au where crackerjack doesn’t die and just suffers instead (until he obtains a child)

Ghost Bojack au: au where Bojack freaking dies. Surprisingly it’s actually less depressing than canon

Deserted island au: the Horsin’ around crew get trapped on an island. Surprisingly Bojack ends up liking it (aside from those times he almost dies—) •Also Bojack and Herb are tent-mates (vine voice: oh my god they were tent-mates)

Drift away/foster care au: Beatrice freaking dies. Surprisingly (or perhaps unsurprisingly) this does not improve things for young Bojack

HNDJD: Herb’s Not Dead, he’s Just Done. (Alternatively: the cancer doesn’t kill Herb but having to deal with Bojack’s nonsense just might)

Never fired au: did someone order 20+ years of gay pining featuring a gay man and a deeply repressed bisexual man? Well now you have it

Soulmark au: the gang has platonic and romantic soulmates and it’s actually wholesome

Tattoo disasters au: soulmates are a thing and it’s kind of a mess actually

Childhood friends au: exactly what it says on the tin. Feat. Bojack and Herb

BMC (Be More Chill) au: it makes sense if u know the musical okay. Also Bojack and Herb (and others) r Gen Z which is extremely important

Youtuber au: millennial Bojack and Herb are Youtubers together à la Dan and Phil. Gamer Bojack real.

GTMAC AU: Give This Man A Cat. Idk man I just think a significant amount of this man’s problems would b solved by him getting a kitty

Welp. That’s most of them. Will make a part 2 sometime. Feel free to ask any questions about them!

Edit: Part 2
