God it'd be cool if there was this dude who had a fridged wife arc except his wife was abusive and his whole deal is trying to accept that
#random thoughts#like okay hold on#and im gonna talk about this in terms of rick and morty cuz i just watched a few episodes of it#so like i hate rick's backstory right#fucking hate how they gave him a dead wife and called it a day#but like. i think it'd be interesting if OKAY SO YOU KNOW BECKY BARNES FROM BLACK FRIDAY#I WANT RICK TO BE BARNES EXCEPT 250% MORE FUCKED UP#okay so like diane and rick got together when rick was in high school and she was in college#and they met at a party and started dating and diane started seperating rick from his friends and family#and started pressuring him into getting into the science field#because even though rick liked and was really good at science he didn't want to pursue it professionally because like#you know how artistic kids will have adults asking them 'oh are you gonna be an artist when you grow up?'#and then they try it and they burn out? rick was like that#he was trying out an internship and it wasn't going great but diane pressured him to keep at it and go to college and get a degree and shit#anyway so she seperates him from his friends and family when they move to a new city#specifically because the whole thing about trauma is the severity of it depends on what your safety net is like#and rick is like humongo bananas fucked up so he had like no safety net when diane died#and so diane gets pregnant and they get married and have beth and diane keeps pressuring him because he can't get a steady job#and rick is like so stressed about it he starts to control the only thing he can: his daughter#so he becomes like OBSESSED with protecting beth from the world#so he's designing this like safety backpack thing? that she can put in her backpack to and from school in case anyone tries to attack her#and she's like. a baby at this point so MEGA unneeded so whatever#and so diane is physically abusive but that kind where it only comes out in huge bursts followed by crying and 'you know i didnt mean it'#so he's working on robopack and diane comes into the garage and it like slowly builds into yelling and she shoves him#and the backpack. basically degloves her#and that's how rick killed his wife!!!#guess what motherfuckers it's blue man time#and then you know he's all fucked up about it because he killed his wife!!! he can't be allowed around a fucking baby!!!#so he abandons beth and like everyone just assumes it was an animal attack because the pack basically rampaged through the house#so beth gets placed with her grandma and grandpa
