Gravity falls was one of the smartest and funniest shows on television and I miss it dearly.

The fact that Evil Morty's first reaction was to fall to the ground and shield himself when Evil Rick yelled at him still sticks in my mind. Again, it's not confirmed that Evil Rick was physically abusive, but all I'm gonna say is you don't shield yourself from someone who never laid a hand on you. Like Morty Prime never felt the need to shield himself from Rick c137 when he yells (Despite the fact that Rick c137 has physically assaulted Morty Prime 3 times). I don't think my little Evil baby boy is ok guysss....

no but i fucking LOVE the concept of "evil morty" being considered "evil" because he's tired of Rick and wants to do anything he can to get away from him. This is like a PERFECT metaphor for victims of abuse.

You do not owe your abusers kindness. In fact, if you're trying to get away from someone who is TORMENTING you, actively hurting you, etc., I personally believe you are within your rights to do whatever you can to get away from them. Of course, I'd personally say that you shouldn't endanger surrounding family, friends etc, but that's just it... Evil Morty is symbolic of someone who has been stuck in this cycle of abuse for so long he doesn't fucking CARE if there's collateral damage, and why should he?

When no matter who you go to, and try to explain your case to, and they take the side of your abuser. When no matter where you go, your abuser is praised or adored, and it feels like only you are aware of how this CAN'T continue-- and anyone who IS sympathetic is telling you things like "Oh you have to be the bigger person, you can't stoop to their level, just think positive" or whatever.

Evil Morty says it himself "I'm only evil because I'm sick of him. If you've ever been sick of him, then you're evil, too." And I resonated so strongly with that line.

So what does he do? He gets the fuck out. He does the work, he gets to a point where he feels like he has the same pull, the same influence, and then he burns it all down just so he can get the fuck away. It's not meant to be emulated, but I really feel like you're supposed to, in some ways, root for him. Because it resonates with some part of you, more so if you've been where he's been, metaphorically.

And when we next see him, he's not trying to "win" or amass power, he really, TRULY, just wants to be left alone, but he's willing to defend himself if necessary. And I think that's beautiful.

There's so much I could say, I just adore that character so SO much. I don't mind calling him Evil Morty, it feels empowering honestly. I've been considered Evil, but those standards. I'd rather be Evil than Good.

sometimes you reach a point in a conversation where you just realize that the other person is operating on an entirely seperate plane of reality from you, and theres nothing you can say to them that will have any effect on their worldview. theyre completely unreachable in their fantasy land, and you can either get annoyed at the bullshit they spew or laugh at them like youve never laughed before.
