i love how, from an outsider's perspective, the markiplier lore is like "oh man! look at this adventure with silly gaming youtuber" and in reality the lore is like do you remember who you are? are you sure? i can't tell how many times we've been here before, you and i, trapped in this void. what has he done to you?
do you want to play substance abuse with me after work

the reason i personally find comfort in such depressing shows like bojack horseman it's because they're hopeful in a way that feels realistic.
a lot of "dramas with happy endings" tend to have a very idealized version of healing, forgiveness or redemption that only work in fiction. because sometimes these idealized endings include never facing consequences of all things that happen, as in, everyone being shallow versions of a person.
but this show tells you that recovery most likely not be linear, but you still should keep trying. that even when you love someone, you have to let go some relationship that just drag you down with them for your own sake. that you can not keep hurting people and expect the relationship go back to normal.
but is not cynic about it, it shows the ugly but realistic aspects of trauma, mental illness, toxic relationship, unhealthy coping mechanism... and still most characters are in a happier place in the end than they were in the start because they're dealing with these things in healthier ways.
And i personally think this is something you need to hear. Even the characters that die without a happy ending, play a role on this, either as a cautionary tale on how you trait other, or as a form to give visibility to tragedies other stories would hide, downplay, idealize or treat as a joke.
