#Rick and Morty theories

[bluescreenexe]

would it be a stretch to say i think that somehow, rick prime is going to trap rick c-137 somewhere. and that i think he's going to return to the smith household posing as rick c-137. and that since rick c-137 replaced prime, prime is going to replace him back. do you think. do you think this is a possibility

do you think he's going to try and fuck everything up for c-137. do you think he's going to ruin everything rick has made for himself. am i going crazy or do you see my point

[summersmithlatinxgyatt]

There's likely a part 2 to my Rick Parasite theory coming. Thank you to anyone who reblogged it, but I am hoping it still explodes. This is something I removed from the theory originally to make into its own post

Season 4, Episode 1 shows other dimensions have become fascist seemingly without an explanation. These are the dimensions that have Operation Phoenix set up. Rick had no back-up clones due to killing them all in 'Big Trouble in Little Sanchez'. The fact he goes into other dimensions for this means that the other Ricks must have known about him, but each of them comes in confused and ready to kill. So what's going on here?

Rick had escaped the clutches of The Citadel and cosmic prison. He would go out of his way to destroy it, leaving it in physical shattered remains. In Season 3, Episode 1, we see that Rick changes bodies with other Ricks in a similar way. However, that's because his mind was still intact - it was the body that was being cut-off forcibly. He dies in an accident in Season 4, causing the chain of events of his holograms and clones. I think this is an attempt from The Citadel to rebuild and catch Rick. What's the proof?

The Ricklantis Mixup shows blatantly (mainly through its cold opening) that not everyone hates The Citadel and wants it gone. The fact there's politicians at all means there are people who genuinely care for The Citadel. That means it can splinter off properly - again, this is evident through the existence of political parties. Other Ricks would create their OWN Citadel. Even if they're small compared to the scope of The Citadel, they're still the smartest man in their own dimension. This would allow them to create a government in their dimension that serves as a mini-Citadel that controls the entire planet

As the Wiki points out, there seems to be no racial hierarchy in the first fascist government we see. I don't know if this applies to any other government we see because they're based on species - we don't know if they coexist or all species are divided

However, the system of fascism in the first one mentions sterilizing China. Rick would obviously be able to pull this off, but it seems that each politician Rick went out of their way to set up their own government in their dimension, as I hinted at. This allows total control and means private Citadel-esque systems control each dimension personally rather than having a watchful eye over each dimension

Fascist Morty might seem like an anomaly, but there's a great explanation for this

He says this Rick was 'too political', meaning he must have been focused on his new role as a dictator. When he mentions missing old adventures, this is something that can explain why they did this in the first place

This is sort of a chicken and egg situation on which came first, so bear with me. But I think when The Citadel was destroyed, Ricks in their dimension were distraught and wanted to bring it back in some way. They must have also heard that Rick C-137 was on the loose, causing there to be a perfect solution. If Rick ever dies, they can cause the rerouted Operation Phoenix vats to bring C-137 to them. With these fascist Citadel-esque governments in place, they keep their ideologies going and kill C-137 right in their own dimension. In a way, they brought the Citadel home and to Rick

The thing about adventures though - they KILL

The idea of a Meeseeks Box still existing is interesting, even Kirkland versions of them. This IS an autocracy, meaning that Rick can literally spawn in Meeseeks to do whatever he wants. It's perfect! That means no soldiers can turn on him, they're temporary servants that can only do one thing and do it right

In the situation of an 'adventure', even if Rick can leave for a while by using a Meeseeks or two (or relying on other figures like the president), it's still dangerous. If he dies, the vat is used as Rick reincarnates. They CANNOT allow that to happen. Considering Operation Phoenix carries a limited number of bodies (and Rick seems to have had the most growing), it's risky because they'd be wasting one on the fascist Rick while waiting for C-137 to come

Wasp Rick doesn't seem to be an outlier, though

Notice how Fascist Morty took control quickly of the situation and seems to follow these political ideaologies as well. He just wants to have a stable mix of a controlled government and adventuring Wasp Rick also mentions that Wasp Morty has been looking at alt-right forums after berating C-137 for using up a vat. Sound familiar?

However, Wasp Rick goes on about how his species is already brutal. So here's the final part of this theory before a recap

The dimensions that Rick's vat can reroute to seem to be on the perpetual state of having a body available to use. Considering the hatred that a Morty might have against Rick (already being shown), the death of The Citadel means that they resent Rick-centered governments AND the Rick who also caused adventures to slow down! That means Wasp Morty was likely looking at anti-Rick forums that explore a DIFFERENT kind of political ideology. I mentioned that there are different parties already, so maybe Morty was looking at a forum that introduces Morties to hating their Rick

This episode LITERALLY has Morty already going against C-137 Rick's wishes so...this theme is still continuing

Wasp Rick is angry because his Operation Phoenix vat system is being restricted to catch C-137. Rick is also aware that Wasp Morty is looking at these forums, so this is clearly an ongoing issue where other dimensions' fascist Ricks try to introduce this ideology. Wasp Rick has his vats being restricted right now as a result through what I'll call a phantom Citadel - the conceptual Citadel still trying to control each Rick and the orders that'll usually be sent out to follow

RECAP: The Citadel is trying to reform through Ricks that are angry and they decide to set up their own fascist Citadels they can run. During this, they realize that C-137 is still out there, but they decide to bide their time. In the event he dies, they'll have Operation Phoenix vats monitored and restricted. If adventuring is banned, it would also give these Ricks excuses to stay in their dimension and rule as well, creating either angry or prepared Ricks that are all branching off a similar fascist ideology - even if the political systems seem to be different across each dimension

I'd suggest leaving a comment if you'd like to see more Rick and Morty theories. These do not do well on my page sadly, and this acts sort of as Rick Parasite Theory 1.5. Part 2 might come out as well so...let me know if you want that. Or I should make this all into a YouTube video...

Anyone else ever wonder about this Rick? I have so many questions. Who is that chick he's hitting on? Strange that they're presumably in space, but she's a human? I suppose she could be a shape-shifter- but this is the least of my questions.

Like how old is he supposed to be? I assumed by the eye bags he's supposed to be old, but C-137 was still presumably in his 40s, maybe 50s at this point, when he splattered this poor, hot, possibly innocent Rick's face all over a definitely innocent woman's face.

Judging by his skull tat, (as well as other parts of Rick's crybaby backstory flashback,) the Counsel of Ricks already exists. How is the counsel of Ricks a thing when C-137 supposedly becomes the founding father later? They meant in all conceivable multiverses, didn't they? Did this one travel back in time? This again makes me wonder what C-137's real issue with it is. And what was this Rick's connection to C-137's revenge rampage beyond getting killed by him?

Anyway, I'd love someone to try to sleuth a plausible solution to these questions with me. 🧐 Or if not, just appreciate how hot this fallen Rick from C-137's history was, as I decided to draw him and chick there with a happy ending- loosely inspired by history. 🙃

For now - the final piece of this theory is being worked on

I have to do a little bit more editing and might involve things like Mr. Poopybutthole or Bird Person's place in these theories

Currently confused as to if the talking cat and sentient churro fit into this theory too

And worst of all...the maps

I have to make family trees of parasites, characters, a timeline of events, and mapping out this massive cosmology I've made

There is still no given date to this and if production takes longer than the official Part 2 of the Rick Meta-Parasite Theory, then it probably will come out in 2025

I've also considered making a YouTube video on all of this...thoughts? It'll get more traction hopefully

[borgorbelly]

hi friends here for the daily post, i have an art piece coming soon, it’s just needs color added so i can upload it soon.

also i thought i would attempt to start a conversation about Season 7.

What are you most looking forward to? Please use this post to theory-dump and don’t be shy!!

What are you hoping to see? Do you have any questions left over that didn’t get answered in season 6?

I am dying for a conversation with ppl who are obsessing like i am 😭

[fukia]

Rick’s un-shortened name is Richard. Morty’s is Mortimer…

… then Beth is short for Bethany, Jerry is short for Jeremiah. That leaves Summer. Therefore, Summer will be the center of the next crazy character development or overarching-plot-related reveal. A Summer will take down Rick Prime and a Summer will be the next villain, we will know her un-shortened name. All of this was foreshadowed since her first major episode appearances. I’ve figured it out and I’m ready for next level’s Girlboss, Sum-Sum.

[whovianbuffalo]

... Is Evil Morty a teeny bit taller than Morty here? Is Evil Morty actually ageing now that he's escaped the central finite curve?

THEY ARE SO SPECIAL TO ME

[darkforze]

IT'S FINALLY DONE. I don't think I'll draw for a week tbh lol

I put a lot of work into this. Reblog if you want to, it's appreciated if you do.

[bluescreenexe]

it feels like rick and morty are drifting apart and it's making me a little sad? i'm glad rick is spending time with the rest of the family and getting out of the house etc etc but i wonder if their distance isn't building up to some huge plot point. maybe prime does kidnap morty like everyone's been saying and maybe when rick has to go save him he acknowledges the distance that's been put between the two. ykwim?? ya feel me?? maybe he feels bad for not paying enough attention to morty and blames it on himself especially with it being implied that morty does a lot of solo missions for rick now

[mochabonesblog]

FUCK

is this anything

[summersmithlatinxgyatt]

I've created another blog entirely

This is where I'll also post all 4 parts of the Rick Meta-Parasite Theory for those who are still intrigued by it.

@the-rick-parasite-theory-archive

Part 2 will be posted here too but it will still link to the other blog that'll house it. That project is getting so massive so it's hard to draw the line. As a result, minor deviations of the theory will be broken up into their own posts. I don't wanna spoil them yet BUT I'll say that I removed the section about the psychic cat - only to add it to another mini-theory that makes more sense

Part 1 WHEN REUPLOADED TO THE OTHER BLOG will make it clear which aspects are also outdated

There's also a chance this gets a YouTube video or even channel. Stay tuned and thanks for the support from Part 1. Part 2 is 90% done

[glitteringcrab]

Yeaaaaaaaaaah, that's Evil Morty all right, @trucknoisettes's theory is correct, at least concerning the moment they switched, regardless of how they did it.

Check.

This (slowed down gif).

Out.

Need me to go slower?

No? Need me to isolate the frame?

Someone has a forcefield on.

Someone's cover is about to get blown away if he doesn't hastily retreat behind the cut primebot.

(At least, I hope he's worried about his cover getting blown away instead of his forcefield finally fizzling out by the last blow, because him being worried about getting shot again would mean his forcefield has a limit... of what... 7 shots? 8-10, if we count the laser as stronger than a regular bullet?)

Anyway, all this would in turn mean...

(Mind you, this is the first frame of him right after he shoots the hostile primebot.)

THE LIAR.

[the-rick-parasite-theory-archive]

Some corrections and clarifications I missed in the recent theories that I skimmed over:

It just dawned on me that the mini-connections for The Animal Theory failed to mention Beth being a horse doctor, showing that the love for animals still carries on. However, I also forgot to mention the horse people alien race or whatever they were from Season 5. I CHOOSE to forget that, but it's still valid bits of evidence

For Part 2, I went on about the absolute size of the fear hole. The reason that Morty was able to escape the hole and still seemingly understand or see out of it to understand that Rick never even went in is because this current layer is an anchor for him. I've used the term anchor and canonize hand-in-hand because their current layer is their important canon layer. Again, with little information and grasp on what's out there like the chaotic multiverse that The Story Train was pushing through, it's non-canon stuff you can't hold onto (which I proved in Part 1). As a result, everything seems to be in this fear hole but not aware of it and its layer. It's like the semantic dissection of "You are in space" - you are at all times, it's just you are on the planet Earth that keeps you from floating around aimlessly. You're in the fear hole, it's just you're in a given layer at all times you've become familiar with and a part of

Obviously, fascism seems to be the end goal of these animals nearly each time. I AGAIN somehow left out Snuffles - a dog in the first episode who gains intelligence and decides to rule over humans. Another obvious detail is the fascism in the snake planet. Now here's the part I just need to clarify:

Is Rick just also inherently fascist?

No

I think animals take this ideology on because it then helps them become their apex form - Rick. It's just a grueling way to reach this, their means to an end that the broken-up Citadel of Ricks just so happens to bank on

RICK AND MORTY THEORY/QUESTIONS *spoilers*

OKAY SO IVE HAD THIS SWIRLING AROUND IN MY BRAIN FOR A WHILE NOW AND I NEED TO KNOW WHAT EVERYONE ELSE THINKS.

so the Rick that we follow in the show goes by Rick C-137 right? and the Morty we follow has identified himself as Morty C-137 (when he and summer were in cronenberg world and morty’s OG family destroyed the portal gun so the citadel ricks came to capture them)

BUT THEN IN S6 WE FIND OUT THAT RICK ISN’T MORTY’S ORIGINAL RICK… SO HOW CAN THEY BOTH BE C-137????

idk if this is just a plot hole or if it’ll be a future plot point but the thing is i need to fucking know. i am literally going insane going back and forth in my mind about this.

I have been watching the show on a loop for a couple weeks straight trying to see what i’m missing, but I can’t find the missing piece(s).

So either prime is the real c-137 or morty is just misinformed. or there could be a third possibility that i can’t see because i’m staring too hard at it.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share if you have any thoughts or anything on this topic.

unrelated but a question i have had since s5 finale:

when are we going to get a follow up on the fucking morty portal???????? i need to know more about “evil” morty

below is a photo of how i’m feeling.

Rick and Morty vs Rick Prime Theories Predictions or whatever

Rick discovers that Rick Prime is everywhere because Prime underwent mitosis multiple times like a bad bitch.

Morty and Rick Prime get into a twerk fight where Morty silently shakes it with a blank expression a la the end of season 2 while Prime spews a lot of exposition in a mocking tone. A Summer makes it in and outdoes both of them, killing prime with her ass and declaring herself the new overarching villain of the next season or so.

Do you think Evil Morty is sippin on an other-dimensional piña colada watching this all go down because he got really bored? Prime is probably aware it’s happening, streaming Evil Morty in his mind or something and they’re both like off the clock from being a villainous character to banter and riff together about the absurd competition going on.

In the stinger, we get the first appearance of female Rick and Morty (besides Girl Morty/Mabelty or the ones in Pocket Morties), where woman Rick sings a cute lil tune while a little bit out of frame. Then young woman Morty pops in, says she has a pretty singing voice, which causes woman Rick to scream and throw something near young woman Morty in embarrassment. Assuming she’s only comfortable singing something like karaoke when drunk. That would be somethin huh?

Jokes aside, d’ya think Rick lets himself age as opposed to staying young like Prime because his guilt is still there and he wants to see himself in the mirror aging as motivation-reminder? Or maybe he‘s just disgusted looking at himself in this particular age that he wants to find some way to bring back that sense of control he feels he’d lost by not resembling Prime as much (while still keeping his face because he refuses to allow himself to heal?)

Also, I’m a total killjoy; got disappointed back in the end of season 5 when Diane was revealed to actually be his wife’s name and that was her canon appearance - imagine the image of Diane in Rick’s not-totally-made-up memory being connected to him in a totally different way? Where the paths to the truth wind in every-which way but slowly begin to converge some time later down the line? What if his wife Diane turns out to actually be Vietnamese and the author of the critically acclaimed book series, Ivy Tran, Food Court Detective? What if Rick’s original Beth was just as worryingly psycho as current show Beth if not moreso? Imagine if Rick Prime never killed Rick’s daughter and instead was raising her to carry on his nightmare legacy and eventually force Rick to fight her JUST for the evulz? What if Rick Prime not only abandoned Beth, but actively chose a different Beth? What if his dead wife isn’t even named Diane at all and that was the name of someone else who is important to him? I legit thought they were going for more twists and turns, more buildup and intrigue! Still amazing season 5 finale though, more jokes aside.
