Being Obsessed With A Character Is So Fucking Embarrassing Like I'll Be Getting Dressed In The Morning

Someone did some gourmet type shit here. Because no one ever talks about the fact that taking Jayce out of the equation they are still parallels of each other. Anyway MELVIK

Mel and Viktor being drawn to each other but repelling each other at the same time... Ughhh you know I critique the fuck out of the writing sometimes but someone COOKED HERE

Y/n: are we sure Jerry's ready for gunplay Rick?

Rick: I let you hold a gun and you have the impulse control of a caffeinated hyena.

Y/n: yeaa but I'm cute ;)

So like how did you know my life story were u spying on me?

guess i'll put this here too, even though its past the day in my timezone lol

And on another note make it so I can block someone from seeing my account but still allow me to interact with them Make that a possibility plz and thank u

modern social media should stop offering "sync with your phone contacts to follow them" options and start offering "block all your phone contacts so they never see your account" options

i love arcane cause no matter how attractive or compelling they make any of the topsiders im just like "oh yeah they want to obliterate the lower class" and then i stop caring

I said this before the smartest ppl, besides Rick, are the women in the show. And he acknowledges and respects that often I think

I was idly thinking about the people that Rick sees as his equal--Beth, Space Beth, Summer, Diane, Dr. Wong--and it hit me that, oh yeah, what do they all have in common? They're women!

I mean, he does view some men as equals--Bird Person, probably Squanchy, maybe Mr. Poopybutthole before he went off the rails--but Raising Gazorpazorp gets more ridiculous with every season.

Another post I love too much not to repost :)

Pondering on the overall arc of Rick and Morty again. In the past, I’ve said that the point of Rick and Morty is that everything matters, way too much. (At least, there’s an argument to be made there about Rick’s character progression.)

Rick was backed into a philosophical corner by his experience of what it means to be alive. If everything matters, that means that what happened to him actually had consequences on who he is. If, somehow, he can find confirmation that nothing matters, instead— that there are no real consequences and he’s one of the elite few to understand the significance of cosmic insignificance— then he mourns for nothing. Nothing that happened to him and nothing that was taken away from him mattered.

It’s the opposing vice of ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ The application of value to trauma is equally as invalid and toxic as removing it entirely. I don’t know about you, but what happened to me didn’t make me stronger, and I loathe hearing that from people. It made me who I am, sure, but I can appreciate that I have my good qualities in spite of what I’ve been through— in spite of those who tried to take them away from me. Those people and experiences don’t deserve credit for anything I’ve become. There is no positive spin on the negative impact of trauma. It was negative, and we keep on going. The truth is, on some level, Rick is broken— and without either nihilism or application of a metric of ‘worth’ to his trauma, he would have to worry that he’ll be broken forever.

Unfortunately, the downside of nihilism comes from the concept that, if nothing that broke you ever mattered, then no effort to heal those wounds would matter. Therefore, nothing Rick does to other people would matter, and nothing he could do to right those wrongs would, either. That is his biggest character flaw. This is what his development has been confronting.

This is why I find it more likely that the resolution to Rick’s moral issues will round out at absurdism. If nothing matters, then EVERYTHING matters, because you have to enjoy and protect what matters to you. If the universe creates infinite idiots just to eat them, then you might as well enjoy the ride instead of trying fight it until you inevitably get thrown off. Maybe the point of life isn’t to deny that our trauma is substantial, or even convince ourselves of its worth. Instead, maybe the point is to acknowledge what we still have when we get to the end of the line despite every curve ball the universe tried to throw at us. It made us, it will eat us, and our only way to give it the metaphorical middle finger is to ensure that our lives will mean something in spite of our cosmic insignificance. If we are meaningful in a meaningless existence, then what does that say about our power over the infinite? If we value fostering our positive traits instead of punishing them for their lack of value, then what does that say about our value on our own, as we are, both unchanged and changed by the insignificance life itself represents?

Maybe it’s special for Rick to be alive (for Rick to love; for Rick to fail and succeed) simply because of how not special those experiences are.

At the end of the day, being 'replaceable' is what makes things special, not the other way around. We get to choose to care, and that's terrifyingly beautiful.

I would not be able to survive if I lived in the same universe as this man I would actually go feral and insane more so then I alr am

this was supposed to be a comp comparing s7 ricks dumb lil sounds to previous seasons

Adult Swim did a great job with the recasting because most Rick fuckers approve, and they know Rick's voice better than anyone.
