Posted on tiktok to no result, hoping to get more recognition here. I spent so long on this 🩷
honestly one of my biggest takeaways from this episode is that Rick keeps a picture of Morty in his wallet 😭
btw TERFs dont belong in the Rick and Morty fandom. you know who you are, babes. fuck out of here. youre disgusting and you make me and all of my friends and acquaintances sick.
all of ur favs are transgender <3
Hi! I'm making a playlist of Rick and Morty's dynamic, do you have any songs that remind you of them? Alsooo this is not needed, butttt could you tell me why it reminds me of them? I don't need it for the playlist, but I like hearing about it!
OH HELL YEAH YOU KNOW I DO
☽ | Sympathy Boy -- Demob Happy ; i imagine this from Morty's POV directed at Rick. i think the lyrics are self explanatory lmao
☽ | & -- Tally Hall ; i love this song and it reminds me of a lot of songs but with R&M specifically, it makes me think of Morty sort of learning everything from Rick. and Rick's worldview I feel is pretty ridgid and he puts things in categories (like all of the '&'s in the song)
☽ | Freezer Burn -- T!LT ; another one from Morty's POV toward Rick! oh man, I love this one. I don't exactly know what all the lyrics mean but I interpret it as the subject needing all this control but they end up losing everything as a result. but that loss perpetuates their need for control.
☽ | Fuck Up Your Shit -- Carter Vail ; we'll end on a happy one! I actually started animating this to Rick & Morty a while ago but I abandoned the project. it's just so silly and I can vividly see Rick drunk somewhere and Morty just like 'siiiigh here we go again' lmao
lifes a beach, keep living 🏖️
i mean this in the nicest way possible you guys but you NEED to take better care of yourselves online. getting severely anxious about mass quantities of horrible things you cant change every single day is normal considering the internet’s ability to educate on worldwide issues, it shows that you have empathy and that you truly do care. but relentless knowledge of constant suffering on this scale is NOT something humans are psychologically equipped to handle. it’s okay to shut off. it’s okay to just take a break and enjoy yourself for a while in your own localized space
Was Summer's character development actually worth it?
Summer went from a typical bratty teen to being one of the most important characters in the entire show. But the problem is that this wasn't a perfect transition. The largest issue I have with her character development is that it sidelines Morty by a good amount
It seems that the back-and-forth with Rick and his grandkids infects episodes that can otherwise boost both. GoTron does show that Summer is in the wrong for instigating Rick, but the way they treat Morty like shit is still unjustified.
It feels like whenever one sibling is the focus for Rick, the other isn't written well. They can sometimes be equally badly written when the focus is on Rick only (such as Childrick of Mort....where they're both stripped down to their stereotypes)
I feel like The Rickshank Rickdemption is the best showcase of both of them. I wanna see if any Morty fans agree, so feel free to reblog with your opinion. But I really like how we got to see Summer's side of the argument for bringing Rick home and how Morty argues against it and understands him well. Summer seems more focused on the effect he has to make life less boring, while Morty is more focused on how he makes everything around him turn to shit after a while. It shows how Summer really DOES want to have a more interesting life she can be involved in as well.
Outside of that, it feels like we don't get many good moments of them together past season 3. And I mean both of them having arcs and being relevant to the plot. Earlier episodes felt more like just going with the flow of the story - which isn't bad!
Auto Erotic Assimilation was a fun team-up between them both and again, we get to see that Summer hates boring, organized life
Think about it
If Rick favors Summer, it shows that he only wants to do what he wants and not be challenged. So he hasn't accepted Morty's personality and actions yet. This means he's regressing while Summer is ironically trying to progress. That further divides Morty!
I can go on longer, but in general...wow. I think that her development did cause Rick to fall behind
ONLY because I feel like they can't write women consistently without failing on other characters, let's make that clear
Why can't we have more of these two siblings in their own ways and also bring back Rick's cynical nature? I don't get why he didn't take advantage of both or grow as a person to accept both. The fact there's even a middle ground is REALLY weird
Anyways Morty fans give me your opinion because i feel like some Summer episodes lead to Morty being underwritten or sidelined. Otherwise I love how she developed ^_^
