Perspective
is a Bojack Horseman/Rick and Morty crossover fic by by RovingOtter.
Bojack Horseman once again finds himself wanting to end his own life. He never expected that anything would come along to give him a new lease on life. Let alone a deranged Mad Scientist with self-destructive addictions and with an even more nihilistic outlook on life.

- Mid-Suicide Regret: Bojack jumps from the bridge and immediately wishes he hadn’t done so.
- Nominal Hero: Rick saved Bojack mainly because he wanted a selfie he could share with his family, who are all Bojack fans.
- No, You: Rick mocks Summer for having a crush on Bojack Horseman, to which Summer replies that he’s done much freakier things in the past.
- Suicide for Others' Happiness: After everything he’s done, Bojack considers suicide to be the right choice, rationalizing that removing himself from existence would make the world better.
- That Was Not a Dream: Bojack initially thinks Rick’s last-minute rescue of him had to be some kind of dream.
- You Have GOT to Be Kidding Me!: Bojack’s reaction to Rick’s sci-fi tech, saving his life, and then suddenly offering him a beer.
