Another Post I Love Too Much Not To Repost :)

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.)

Pondering On The Overall Arc Of Rick And Morty Again. In The Past, I’ve Said That The Point Of Rick

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.

Whenever I see a post about Rick and Morty and it makes me scream into my pillow I repost it

sorry for still not being over this second long shot after 7 months (holy shit, unmortricken was 7 months ago) but it's literally the gayest shit i've ever seen like c'mon COME ON BRO

a gif from rick and morty season 7, episode 5. the shot is a close up of two arms during a fight. they touch, and the wires inside rip their way out, connecting c137 and prime's cybernetics together.

they were going in for a punch at the same time but quite literally became stuck together because they got too close. their arms weren't even opened up or anything, their cybernetics tore through skin and sleeves to get tangled up in each other. the way this only happens because they're both ricks. they get their wires crossed because they're too similar. so similar their own bodies can't tell the difference, automatically trying to attach them like they're each other's lost limb.

i think i hauve covid

Dare I say that sevika is the sexiest woman no the sexiest character In all of Arcane? Dare I say that she is the ideal? She's the standard. This is peak performance. I would die for this woman. I should not be questioning my sexuality because of a fictional character What has she done to me.

Her Jaw. Her Sculpted Nose. Her Curvy Dark Lips And Her Gapped Toothed Smile. Her Blue Veins On Her Pretty

Her Jaw. Her Sculpted Nose. Her Curvy Dark Lips And Her Gapped Toothed Smile. Her Blue Veins On Her Pretty

Her jaw. Her sculpted nose. Her curvy dark lips and her gapped toothed smile. Her blue veins on her pretty brown skin. Her thick brows. Her soft hair. Her distrustful face and hopeful eyes. Her dazzling, sparking, twinkling silver eyes. Her strong body and unyielding willpower. Her drive and ambition. And her guarded façade. And her deep emotions. And her unspoken words. And her heart.

And Sevika…and Sevika…and Sevika…

I felt this too deeply not to repost it

sometimes neopronoun headcanons don't come from a place of "would this person tell others to refer to them using these pronouns in canon" but rather "if i used these pronouns for this character would it satisfy an itch in their soul"
