Someone on Reddit tried to say that Rick only truly loves Beth, and to prove them wrong, so here I am!

tldr:

Character analysis of Rick Sanchez from an autistic fans point of view, understanding his attachment styles.

He'll do anything for BP, if season 6 proves anything, it's that he'll die for BP. He literally admitted to loving him, which I have not heard him tell or say about anyone before in the show. When

he does say stuff like that it is significant. Bird person is the only character on the show he has been openly genuine with.

If season 7 proves anything, Pers is the only one that can sneak up behind him and grab him out of nowhere without getting some snarky comment, mean look, or a left hook. They both care about each other deeply, that is clear. Rick was extremely

upset by the wedding with Tammy. Rick told the bird person how much he respected him more than anyone, even when he contradicted himself by saying nothing matters, he wanted to be with Percy. He wanted to travel with him and spent every moment with him.

"Then why did you help me?"

"I respect you, and I wanted you to know that you could respect me too."

" But if nothing matters...?"

"You matter! You matter to me."

"Uhhh- Rick... the relationship we have-"

"I never used that word!" - Rick (denialism)

It's funny how after this he calls him a judgmental dork, and not something much harsher.

"Why the fuck are you risking your life for that asshole!?" - Memory rick

"Because, you love him."

"You do maybe, but I don't."

"Yeah, yeah, you're real cool. Now, come help me save his life or fuck off, because I don't need you.

(Very much so loves BP.)

"I'm sorry Rick, but we cannot choose the ones we love" - Pers

"You got that right! Why do you think I'm still fucking down here!?"

Birdperson mentions that he would be dead if it wasn't for Rick, this also accounts for multiple times now since he brought BP back to life recently. Rick has stuck his neck out for the man so many times contradicting his "nothing matters" front, because that's what it is, it is a horrible coping mechanism to ignore your problems and pretend they don't exist because 'nothing matters'.

Its a problem that I have and I'm working through in therapy myself, it's called Denialism. Because 'if you shut yourself out from the world and your problems, then nothing can hurt you, and they don't exist'. You convince yourself you're in control when you're not, you have the least control, and it fucks you up. Rick isn't truly and fully nihilistic, or else literally nothing would matter to him. He makes sure to keep his Morty alive, he constantly brags on about how he can just get a new family, but he has the same Morty that he's had since the beginning and sticks his neck out for him as well.

"No, Morty. Because you were too afraid to tell me. What we had was abusive, don't you see? I'm a bad partner, because I never made you a true partner."

"I was afraid if I jumped in a hole you would just stand there and watch me, you wouldn't even jump in after me!" -Morty

But then Rick in season 1 literally jumped in after Morty when he fell through the garage floor into the Schrodinger's cat void.

"Be good, Morty, be better than me."

And when Rick starts crying at his memories of Morty in season One, but he refrains from expressing it so that Morty does not become, as he puts it, "cocky" (denialism)

I would also like to point out I feel like in the later seasons he starts calling Morty 'buddy' more?? he's a lot nicer to him than he used to be, and just recently allowed Morty to hug him without pushing him away, actually hugging back. He's also stated that he respects summer very deeply, which if he says that about someone, it really means that he does. He sees his Diane in Summer, and he also implies that summer is like a cat, her affection and respect needs to be earned; unlike Morty's dog like affection that is just given away. But we also hear Rick say that Morty reminds him a lot of himself when he was younger, this implies a lot of parallels.

Memory Rick brought out a lot of Rick that we didn't see previously, a person who wasn't fully tainted by the lack of treating mental Health issues, coping issues, unhealthy attachments, and all the other things that led up to Rick being the way he is. he said his heart broken so many times, he's been backstabbed, he is very hurt person. This doesn't excuse all of his actions but is a very good explanation and reason for why he is the way he is and the way the human psyche copes with it's environment to protect itself. it's like walking up to a caged animal with a taser, these are his defense mechanisms, it makes him look like a dick on the outside but currently it is the only thing that he knows how to do on instinct for protection, and that's why he's in therapy. This is why I believe he's genuinely trying to get better, he can get along with his therapist more than ever, even if he has sly remarks he genuinely listens to Mrs. Wong.

"I don't like being told where to go or what to do. I consider it a violation."

"There's a lesson here, and I won't be the one to figure it out"

"I don't discuss problems, I incinerate them"

"It was charmingly analog. For a sec, you kind of made me like myself." - Mem Rick

"You'll grow out of it." - Rick

He resents his younger self for helping him and makes sure to mention that he "grew out" of his ability to like himself, Rick has some extreme self-hatred. it's hard to fully love someone or Express a healthy relationship when you can't even have a healthy relationship with yourself.

"You act like you're the one that got stabbed in the back!" -Morty

"Because I AM THE ONE, Morty. You wanna know why I replaced myself in the beginning of that stupid knights of the morning sun thing!? I SAID don't take the fucking sword! And you were like "Whatever", like I'm our neighbor Jean or David Arquette or something!! You called me boring! I've become dog shit to you! That's what happens when you let people in and they stop respecting you! They touch your shit, they screw things up, they KILL your fuckin family! Go ahead and trust them, you're gonna learn the same fuckin thing." -Rick

Do you have any hopes for the season finale? I saw in another ask, you described the dynamic between rick and morty this season as "very weak, distant, and downright frankly boring" and I completely agree with you! I hope that, because this is most we'll see rick and morty interacting this season, it'll have at least a few moments of what makes their dynamic so interesting to watch.

(Ok i started airing my grievances with this season, which ended up being... long, so skip this paragraph (starting at / / /) to get to my thoughts on the finale)

Oh gosh I remember that ask (I think-). And yeah, maybe I'm being a bit overly critical. I'll probably look back on this season with retrospect, and a kinder, fonder view. Ik androgynousblackbox (think thats right) made a great point about it being the season FOR rickorty shippers. And sure, I agree on some bits, like Rick acting all pissy and partying the way you would if your ex got with someone new in the planetina ep. Overall though, i think my problem lies in that I was enjoying more individual moments than episodes themselves, especially the middle three. For example- Amortycan Grickfitti. Like, I really liked the idea of the Ship getting on a crazy adventure with Summer and Morty (and Chutback). I like the idea of a Beth-Jerry-Rick adventure. But put together, it's just kinda... meh? You know? I liked the first half of the Thanksgiving special... but it kinda dragged on after that. I get that they want to give other characters (particularly female ones) more attention, which is completely understandable and i encourage it(!) but I can't help but find it underwhelming. Like, Summer in the voltron ep was like- girl how are you STILL vying for Rick's attention! He's the worst! Haven't we done this already? (I will say though I ADORE how far Beth has come, props to her for continuing to seeing through her dad's BS. I was worried the character would relapse into a more typical s1/s2 Beth, and I'm glad she didn't). Some of these plots, funnily enough, seem more fitting of the comics (they actually had a voltron parody already). Fun and entertaining for two or three-something issues, not so much a 22 minute episode. i think most of my complaints come from the dynamic between our titular characters- ok, I know I'm very biased (I mean you can see it), but I came to the show primarily for their relationship. It doesn't even feel drama-fueled, just that they kinda... can't be arsed. I'm torn because on the one hand, they're unhealthily codependent and this separation is probably a good thing, but on the other... it doesn't feel natural? I'm not sure if that's the right word- it's like, season 4 had them practically joint at the hip, but all that's suddenly flung out the window. It just kinda feels like this "i got better things to do" vibe from both of them and its strange. The only time they both got a solo adventure (I'm classifying "solo" as an adventure where they spent a significantly large portion of time together, without the other family members) was in the sperm ep and Thanksgiving ep. And, well, in the Thanksgiving ep Morty felt like a side character in his own show, and the sperm ep... um. Yeah. I don't think it's AS bad as people were saying, but I was cringing the whole time (the second hand embarrassment for Morty was so strong I had to turn off the episode multiple times and return to it. It's just like- godammit MORTY). And I think there's good reason those two seemed to be the most disliked episodes overall. They're the ones RaM spend the most time together and it's... meh. Meh? Meh. I don't mean to say the season overall is bad (it has loads of good points, and its amazing for Smith family as a whole) just that if we're talking specifically about the dynamic between these two? Yeah, I wouldn't recommend a single episode from this season so far to use as an example of their relationship.

/ / /

There's one thing this season has been pretty good at, though. And it's showing us what happens when Rick is alone.

And that brings me to the finale.

"Who is Rick without Morty?"

Well... we already know the answer to that. Pathetic. Sad. Lonely.

This season has been phenomenal in humbling Rick. (And trust me I'm happy for it- every time someone beats the crap outta this shitty old man I'm like YES!!! IT'S WHAT HE DESERVES!). Ep 1 had his "nemesis" clearly besting him, ep 2 had Beth making constant digs (love her) and overall pointing out his extreme callousness and cruelty towards even himself(ves). Ep 3- when Morty shows interest in a girl and ditches him (like seriously it's not like he's moving out, chill) he immediately goes on a bender and develops a deep attachment to the first person he can (wearing yellow, funnily enough). Ep 4, he devotes himself to becoming an "honest man" for his new child, only for it to instantly be taken away from him. Ep 5 highlights how RICK is the asshole for making fun of and taking advantage of someone well-meaning and honest, if "simple", and how literally not cool that is. Ep 6 has his crazy rivalry with the president, and they both get smacked down a couple pegs for that. Ep 7 shows what happens when he allows himself to get carried away, and that he can end up driving everyone else away in the process (lucky they still wanted to save his ass when he needed them). And episode 8? Hooooo boy. Episode. 8. We see a direct parallel in Birdperson with Morty, and the whole "Rick and [insert] 100 years!" Rick has few people he cares about, arguably only one or two that he truly devotes himself to, but when he does, boy does he go HARD. We see younger Rick, optimistic, energetic, friendly and hopeful. And we see all of that crushed in minutes. Rick is desperate for a companion, someone to see the stars with. He needs someone there, someone he can trust and rely on to stay. Someone like Morty. So without Morty, who is Rick?

No one.

And the thing is, Morty doesn't need Rick anymore. Not like Rick needs him. In season 1, Morty was this bright-eyed kid who was new to the cosmos and the multiverse, who needed his grandpa there with him as they explored all these places together. But that's not him anymore. That's not them.

The promo has Morty using the portal gun to go somewhere w/o Rick's permission (i like to think it's boob world lol). It doesn't matter to me as much where he's going, as much as he's doing it alone. He doesn't just not need Rick there, he doesn't want him.

(Also correct me if im wrong but I've missed that sweet portal gun so much. I think the last ep was like- the first time this season we saw it).

Morty's response to Rick? "Replace me!". And wow. Wow. WOW. Morty doesn't give a FUCK! I think Rick thinks that because he's so smart, that he can offer so much, that Morty will come crawling back, and I don't think he will.

Hopes for the finale! Hmm. I mean, I definitely hope "evil" Morty makes a reappearance, haha. I think we all do tbh ;). I want to see some Morty development too, this season has been very Rick-centric (not that there's anything wrong with that!) so I wanna see what's in store for Our Boy. I really hope we get to see the Citadel again, and see the state it's in, but I doubt it. We know something super big is in store, it's just a question of what? Other hopes I have is some Summer + Beth action (please let them team up Im BEGGING) and Jerry too ahaha. I'd love if some other side characters made an appearance as well. Oh- I'm definitely expecting a dramatic cliffhanger at the end of the first half leading to the second half, with the kind of angsty music that leads into the credits (pls that shit is so good (OH WAIT imagine if it was like, for the damaged coda, but like- the chopin version or smth so it could be more subtle maybe bruhhhh)). Ok haha, maybe that's asking too much, the writers made it clear in the story train ep that they weren't gonna do that big dramatic showdown (... unless 👀). Oh, I'd also love some Premium Angst too, like someone getting kidnapped/nearly dying (like ACTUALLY nearly dying). These stakes better be so damn high I could spear a man on them! OH, also I remember androgynousblackbox (is that right? I hope it is) mentioned something along the lines that they could be driving Rick and Morty apart this season in order to have them come back together stronger than ever in an explosive finale, which, I'm strongly hoping for myself.

Thanks if you made it this far! If you have any thoughts on or hopes of your own for the finale please feel free to share! :D

#ohmygod im sorry #i rambled way too long #akdjsksaksn #someone needs to take this phone away #also AGAIN im not shitting on s5 as a whole i actually quite like it #its just the RaM dynamic thats lacking #but again that could be intention so ig we'll see #RaM #rick and morty #meta #?#long post #citrus speaks #oh wait i should probably tag to be safe #rickorty mention

Thoughts about the fifth season (spoilers)

Okay, so normally I would make these posts as neutral as possible because I want them to reach anyone who enjoys the show. Even if you are someone that really fucking hates incest ships you can read them and still have an idea of what I liked, what didn’t, etc, without me bringing up that element. You can disagree or agree without being reminded “oh, yeah, he is one of THOSE fans I don’t like” and that is totally fine by me. Curate your own online experience and all that. But this is season is quite literally about the relationship between Rick and Morty, so as a rickmorty shipper I just can’t separate that from what I enjoyed about it and thus I am going to be talking from that position during all of this. If that makes you uncomfortable, that is cool, I get it. You can skip this one if you want. Also, this is going to be a general big mess of thoughts and whatever because I have lots of them so, bear with me. -Some of the shippers I was with on a server will know this already, but from the very first episode I was sure we were going to have two major themes: 1. Rick is a flawed human being, not a god, not a ultra genius who is always destined to be on top of everything and knows how to get out of any situation. Just a man. And that is why he needs other people, which is somethig he had to accept and understand about himself, especially after the fourth season was all about dethroning him as the patriarch of the family and break away the illusions that Beth had about her own father. We have standed too long having Rick win on everything and coming out like a badass, so it’s time to kick him down a bit and let him lose. 2. Morty’s heart is always going to get fucked over, which is something that gets even more explored on the Planetina episode: he wants a place to belong with a person who doesn’t make him feel like the odd one out. Combine the two and my idea was: they want to assure us about their relationship on some kind of way, this is about them and what they feel regarding each other. Probably about why or how Rick became so jaded because why else include Rick freaking out about Mr Nimbus just mentioning Diane’s name and how much he changed, on a first episode no less, if this isn’t something we are setting up to see later. They explicitely brought someone from Rick’s past to talk about that past and make a point to tell us that changed Rick. -So, we have the two major player set up like this: on one hand, Morty aspires for that companionship but he is not willing to compromise his own moral for it, whatever he has left after starting to take on some Rick’s traits. He is desperate for that connection and if that means leaving Rick behind, so be it. Rick will still be there anyway. On othe other hand, Rick also wants that connection and companionship but it’s too disfunctional and can’t make it quite work because there is always a part of him that wants to keep distance. With the alien lady, evne with the crows, it’s all about escapism and pretend like everything is fine, it’s just fun and he doesn’t have to care because they are just having a good time together. He tried to do that too with BP by keeping away the info about his daughter, but he called his bluff because BP knew Rick too much to not see that comic. It’s rebound after rebound because he is missing the one person that can keep him in check, that truly knows what a piece of fucking shit he is and somehow still comes back to him. BP saw that, knew what was happening, and prefered to get the fuck away because he didn’t want to compromise his own values like that either. But Rick doesn’t have that problem with Morty. It truly is Rick and Morty one hundread years because, no matter how fucking bad it gets, they still choose one another. -Now, the way they keep building up this relationship, these connection, even regarding the rest of the family, to me is brilliant in restrospect because it perfectly illustrate how much they have changed from what they were before and what that means. Morty is more independent and less afraid, right, but that doesn’t make him more happier because he is still lonely and Rick is being reminded, over and over again, that he can’t be alone either. -Regarding the way Morty have behaved, I have seen some people being concerned about how Morty is becoming more independent and therefore not relying on Rick as much for anything, so it’s like what is the point of their relationship anymore. And like, to me it makes sense they show because they have already told us on past seasons that Morty has stopped viewing Rick with that wide eyed expression for a long time. He is learning from him and can defend himself, so why does he need Rick at al? The answer is because he loves him. You can read that as platonic or romantic or whatever, but for better or for worse Morty just loves Rick. You shouldn’t love people because you need them, or at least that is not a healthy basis for any relationship. I said this on another post: you cannot make anyone to be your center for your mental health like that, and I feel like they aware of this point, which I really fucking love because it would have been easy as fuck to write any pairing like that. -If you stay for the “Behind of scenes” scenes, the writers talk about how this season is about building trust between Rick and Morty. So it starts with Morty going around cleaning up some of the messes Rick left behind without telling Rick and then fucking the portal gun because he doesn’t trust Rick to not “kill him” to finding out he did that, just like Rick in fact doesn’t trust Morty to not be doing unnecesary bullshit. So Morty, hurt because his suspicions were right, puts an ultimatum and Rick, being the petty fuck we all know him to be, takes it kind because of course he would. -What does Morty does immediately after this? Latch onto another sketchy as fuck older man whose name ends with Ick and hope that is the connection he craves, because after all “we are like brothers now.” So rebound for him, rebound for Rick, rebounds for the crows, rebounds for everyone. Yay. -I know it has been however many years have passed since this show started, and it was obvious for fucking everyone who watched it, but I do really like that they use the exact words for how their dynamic has been: unhealthy, toxic, abusive. Lack of trust, lack of boundaries, secrets. Just straight up calling it as it is. So they have both of them confronting that fact, being aware of it, and to top it all off, make Morty the only being now on their universe that knows everything about Rick, every single thing he has kept even from BP, like the true reason he joined to their guerilla group, and still makes the conscious choice to go after Rick even when, as far he was aware of at least, there was another option. -So, okay, now what, might someone ask. We have put everything out there and we have talked about what is wrong about their relationship, does this mean we are doing the boring healthy bullshit now? Well, nope. Considering that Morty did went out of his way to guilt trip Rick into getting back and Rick admits point blank admits he get it, Morty refusing to demand things be different because he is just desperate... they are still and probably always going to be a condependent mess, but hey, a condependent mess that at least is kinda self aware about it and won’t pull the “I am going to break up with you on a whim” move again, hopefully. I do think and expect some things to change, but only as far their dynamic during adventures goes and regarding the rest of the family, with everyone being on the know that those two are an item neither of them can get in between. Rick is probably still going to want to keep some things in control, he is still not going to express his feelings to Morty directly and Morty is still going to be a little shit that will want for validation that won’t come his way. It’s a shithole house, but at leat it’s their home kind of thing, and personally, that is how I like it. -The “adventures as a metaphor for a relationship so this is not like a real break up” is real funny when you hear the writers literally calling it a break up and a relatonship. Also, the amount of times that they say “my partner”. Like, I am sorry, but how the fuck I am supposed to believe this wasn’t for the shippers, fucking how? Like even if you aren’t one, and you go “it’s a metaphor!! it’s not like an actual relationship, they are not saying they are together as a couple”, that is flimsy as fuck because we have determined already that Rick uses adventures as an extension for all his relationships. There is a intentional paralel between BP and Morty and how Rick treats the both of them, like he would do anything for them but still be kind of a lying piece of shit too, so it’s definitely canon on the sense -Omg, we had miniature cute Mortys who like crayons and also big hot adult Morty, fucking finally. I cannot fucking believe they wouldn’t know the blessing they were throwing to fandom with that one, they know what they are doing. -Rick as a boy dressing on the same colors of Morty could have been a cute little detail, like aww, they are family, so they pass down those colors from one generation to another because family, but fuck all of that, let’s make it creepy and fucked up because why not. But it’s also interesting because if Ricks breeded Mortys and put those colors on them, isn’t that another way of saying “you are connected to us just as much as we are connected to you”? Because they didn’t had to chose those colors, but they did it because it meant something for them. On a very fucked up way, I think they might even feel themselves more fathers to Morty than even Beth, because many of them didn’t cared manipulating her in order to gain more Mortys even if they could just clone them easily. -”You all really are bred for forgiveness”... Not really, or else “Evil Morty” wouldn’t exist and Cop Rick, the good one, would have never been attacked by using the attachment of Ricks against him. But Morty had made his choice and that choice was Rick, and even then Rick cannot fucking believe it so he has to reduce it to his breeding. -So, the finite curve has been destroyed and almost all Ricks were killed, the ones that weren’t coincidentally fucking off to another place just when that happened. That means that now there is true infinite universe where Rick is not the smartest man on the universe, where Rick doesn’t even exist at all, so we may have adventures where other people where the smartest people on their universe and Rick could finally meet his equal or someone even worse. -The final speech of Mr Poppybutthole is kinda the perfect ending to everything, because he is talking avoid being afraid of the people he loves finding the “true” self of him and not loving him anymore, but Morty did that and he still loves Rick and, listen, I have FEELINGS about it, okay. -After exploring this, which was the true only canonical mistery of the whole series, while also dumping off the backstory of Rick so nobody has to theorize about it anymore, it feels like they going two routes: either we are dumping anything about serialized anything, at least for a while, and we are back to just silly adventures with asshole grandpa and traumatized kid, or... we are introducing another big baddie that we are going to drag to hell and back. Maybe Evil Jerry? That could be fun to explore on the show. My bet is on the second option because I think that is the kind of thing that Justin really enjoys doing and that is why it appears on Solar Opposites as well, with the whole Wall as a central points behind all the shenanigans of the aliens. -The only misteries left are: the weird Rick that killed his family, if he wasn’t killed already on the Citadel, and Birdperson reunion with his daughter, for which he might ask Rick’s help in the future when he cools down or maybe Rick gets his daughter back for him on a ridiculous plan to make him return his calls, because that is something he is going to pull. The Jessica thing and her quest for becoming an actual character with her own thing going on. -This finale made rickmorty canon on all the ways it could without having them literally making out willingly, and after Naruto, I don’t think that is a line they are not willing to cross at some point in the future, even if it’s just a joke. They already did with the parasites. I honestly don’t even know how you can watch the show and think “fuck yeah, they hate those ships just as much as I do!”, because with the way the writers talk about it and literally this entire season being nothing but a building up for their relationship, I would have been turned if I didn’t ship it already.

Chapter 16: Ethan*: Part One

Ethan* was the one where when I said to my friends, “I don’t want to have to write a stupid ‘dating in Tampa’ chapter about this guy…. He’s a good egg.” But here I am, writing it.

I matched with Ethan* on Bumble during a super busy work week, we chatted about things briefly on the app, and I mentioned that I might be able to do a video chat rather than an in-person date easier that week because of my schedule. He agreed to it and asked if that night would work. So our first date is a rather spontaneous video date. I made dinner for myself and was eating it about 20 minutes before our time we picked up, when a piece of mozzarella got stuck in my throat and I was choking. I managed to dislodge the mozzarella cheese stuck in my throat, but was afraid my voice might be weird since I had just stuck my hand down my throat to save my own life.

He had said that he tended to be a little awkward on the phone. Despite the disclaimer, I found him to be perfectly fine on the phone. I told him about my near death experience prior to the call, and we had a laugh about it. We gave each other tours of our homes. He owns his and has completely renovated his place, which is pretty cool. I admired the handiwork of his home, especially the “shiny floors” that he had redone. I learn some quirks about him, such as being homeschooled until college and that he doesn’t like chocolate (weird). He also had mentioned that he was born in Northern Virginia, about ten minutes away from where I grew up and lived there until he was five, before moving to St. Pete. He never had typical pets, but did take care of some squirrels and some lizards, straight Florida kid shit. We ended the call recognizing we got along and generally understood each other. I knew he was 26 but turns out that I was like ten days short of exactly a year older. He immediately after said he was “excited to hang out... soon.” and that we seem to have a lot in common. Agreed.

I let him know that I have some questions for him before that, but that I’ll get to them. The next day, rather than doing that, my friend Lauren inspires me to make a legitimate dating application. I create this thorough Google form, which includes serious questions, as well as some less serious questions which are unfortunately inspired by my previous dating experience, i.e. do you chew with your mouth open? are you a warlock?, etc. I send this to him, and he hesitantly does it after I ask him to. His comment at the end is “I thought this was dumb, but I actually had fun.” From this form, I learn that truly Ethan* does have some similar goals to me. He also doesn’t want children. I ask what people are looking for and he responds with “Unsure yet, but I am open to anything from casual friends with benefits all the way up to a long term relationship if we are a good match. I don't have any future goals but I enjoy companionship and sex and seek these out in a partner.“ Seems like a fair expectation, which is kind of where I am at too. I send that same application to different people that I’ve matched with at the time, but Ethan* is definitely my front runner.

This guy didn’t really match up to my usual douchebag energy guy I usually go for. He was a college athlete, wide receiver and ran track, and definitely still kept up with his physique. He had curly bronde hair that was slightly receding on the sides, a six-pack, and nicely sculpted shoulders and back. I knew ahead of time he was on the shorter side, that is, not over six feet tall. He owns a boat and also has a pilot’s license and flies planes for fun. Things that were definitely unique and super cool. He asked me if I would ever go flying with him, to which I enthusiastically said that would be cool. He didn’t know that learning to fly is also something on my bucket list, I would actually never have the chance to tell him.

That weekend, a few days after our virtual date, I was finally done with my marathon of working long days and said I would be down for meeting up. He mentions his plans with his friends were canceled that night, and we decide to do something that night. I let him know I have an appointment and can come over after that, around 6. We discuss what we are going to do, we decide on a night in. I suggest tacos, however, he responds by asking if I like Chipotle. I inform him that since we live in a place where there are much greater options for local taco places, which aren’t Chipotle and basic, we should get that instead. He then suggests a place by him we can go to, and we agree on that. However, this is also coming from a guy who said Papa Johns was his favorite type of pizza. With pineapple.

I go for a comfy but not trying too hard look for that night. Some athletic leggings from Uniqlo, and a crop top. Ironically, I believe that exact ensemble is in one of my photos on Bumble, in hindsight. I excitedly text him about it being 7/11, which is free slurpee day, and ask if we can go. He says there’s a 7 Eleven by him that we can go to. I finished my appointment, which was actually a lip and eyebrow wax, and drove to his place. He asks me to park on the street so that he can drive his car to the taco place, and I sarcastically tell him that he’s going to have to drive around my car in the driveway. I then mention I’m on the way and will see him soon.

Usually, by the time I am going to meet someone in person, I have given them my number or other ways to contact me outside of the original app. My friend had suggested to me that I try to stay on these apps communication wise, until a successful first date. I was trying to follow this advice and since Ethan* and I were still communicating exclusively on Bumble, I was following that advice. Granted, he hadn’t really asked me either to change communication methods, so it worked out.

I message him “Aqui” when I pull up to his house, and as I start to get my things out of my car he emerges from the front door to greet me. Immediately as I walk up and analyze him, I feel bad as a wave of disappointment falls over me. He in no way lied about his height on his profile, but definitely I overestimated how tall his height was. Otherwise, he was 100% authentic and who he said he was. He meekly asks about my appointment and if everything is okay, specifically asking if it was a doctors’ appointment. I admit I was actually getting a wax, then he compliments me saying that my brows look really nice and he otherwise wouldn’t have said anything as it would seem weird.

I then say I’m hungry and we should go get food. I get out to his car, which is a super nice Jeep Grand Cherokee, with a leather interior. Despite the nice car, I look down at the floor of the passenger seat, which is entirely covered in discard receipts.

I mention this to him, and he gets super embarrassed about forgetting to clear his car before I arrived. Upon looking at the receipts as I help him clean, I recognize many of them are from Taco Bell. We bond however over the amazingness of Baja Blast being the ultimate drink. I insist we go to 7 Eleven first to get our slurpees, since I don’t want the food getting cold/soggy. We find out it isn’t really free slurpee day, due to COVID-19, and instead it’s a get a medium free next time with your membership there or something. So I get a medium anyway, so at least mine is free.

Next, we pull up to the taco joint, which is basically you walk up to a door to order. We discuss the menu and agree that fish is gross. He orders for us both, which I love, and sit briefly at a colorful picnic table outside of the restaurant. We are there not even one minute, when he asks if we can go to the little market that’s next to the restaurant. I say sure, and we browse the market. He picks up some apples and some grapes, and we just sort of look around. We are joking around and I quiz him on the “best type of apple,” which is sort of an inside joke at my full time job.

He finishes his purchases and we sit at a different picnic table, while waiting again for our food. They bring it out and we take it back to his place. In the car he’s going between rap and pop music. I’m more or less into anything but country, so it’s a fair vibe. I figure since he was on a football team, that was probably what he was used to listening to in the locker room.

Now that we’re back at his place, I excuse myself to the restroom. A man’s private restroom always says something about the man. Does he clean his bathroom? How many products does he have? Does he have that singular shampoo/conditioner/body wash combo bottle in his shower? His toilet definitely could use a scrub, same with his shower, but otherwise pretty well kept and he had separate products in his shower.

I’m still feeling iffy about the guy due to his height, and when I sit down on the cough with him, he asks if I like South Park. Unfortunately we find out that South Park has been taken off Hulu and so we look for a back up. Then he asks about Rick and Morty; I love that show, so we turn that on for us to watch while we eat. He too is a couch eater, which is good since his dining table literally has no chairs around it.

We share some laughs, we eat the food, we drink the slurpees. Once there’s no longer food to eat, he asks if I want to cuddle. I say “uhm okay.” I remember a message he had sent me the day before where I said I hope he doesn’t try to cuddle in my lap like my dog, and he had responded “what if I did? jk. but really do you like to cuddle?” And I’m wondering if I’ve gotten myself into a stage 5 clinger situation. Somehow I become like the guy, as he is nuzzled onto my belly and I have my arm around him. Later he asks to spoon, and I’m like yeah that’s fine. As I’m sure that’s less awkward than what we’re doing now. Though if I wasn’t so uncertain about him, the previous position probably would have been cute and endearing. While we were cuddling, we talked about goals and briefly about my application. He talks more about how he flies planes on the side, and that his goal is to join the National Guard as a pilot. The cut off is 32, so essentially he wanted to gain more and more flying experience so he could join before the cutoff. I have never really been particularly interested in being involved with someone in the military, so that was almost a turn off for me. However, I did this it was good that he had solid goals he was continually working on.

Regardless, I’m still having a good time. He’s a nice and entertaining guy, and we mesh well. It starts to get late, so I mention it’s time I go. Before I leave, I remember we have still only been talking via Bumble, I ask him for his number. I then realize I also don’t know his last name, so I also ask for his last name. I realize his initials are “Eh,” which I find humorous, so I text him “eh” to let him know it’s me. Which also described how I was feeling at that moment.

He then walks me to my car and I give him a hug, and then he kisses me. Even though I wasn’t really feeling kissy after this date, I realize it is actually a really nice kiss and tell him I’ll let him know when I get home. I think back to Aaron* where he wasn’t the best kisser, and think oh well that’s nice.

I get home and stew over the date, thinking about what I’m going to do about this guy. He texts me the next day saying “Would it be bad if I already wanted to see you again tonight?” I tell him I have plans, which isn’t a lie, I do, and let him know I’m free the next night. We set up another hang out at his place.

In my mind, I determine the way I’ll figure out my feelings is to sleep with him. “If the sex is good,” I think to myself, “then that should get me over the height thing. And if it’s terrible, then I’m outtie anyway.”

Request: Rick being human for half a second and bringing his college age girlfriend home to meet the family for like dinner or something BUT he doesn’t mention how much younger she is (of course they assume she’s a bit younger cause he’s gross but not THAT young) because he wants them super uncomfortable, Rick/maybe Reader make a lot of jokes just to make it a little worse by the minute but also, are very genuinely happy and it’s obvious? 💖💖💖 I love the one with the artist college girlfriend

I’m gonna go ahead and say that this is the same character as the other art student fics I’ve posted (this will be the third, I think!). I’m glad you enjoy this theme, it’s one of my favourites to write since is the most relatable for me :3

This one is SFW, but this is Rick… So expect it to be a LITTLE inappropriate at times haha. Over 2.5k words. Enjoy!

“Thanks again for inviting me over, Rick. I don’t think I can handle anymore of my mother’s food, she’s on a real health kick right now and there’s only so much kale I can stand to eat.” I said, climbing out of Rick’s ship and taking note of the light pouring from the windows of the Smith house. “Oh. The family are still in? I thought they’d be out.” I raised my brows in surprise and looked over at Rick, who was walking around the ship to meet me.

“Yeah, they’re s-still in, baby. What made you think otherwise?” He asked me, taking hold of my wrist and tugging me towards the house. I hesitated and kept my feet firmly planted, giving him a worried look. “What?”

“You’ve never invited me over when your family have been around.” I pointed out, and Rick’s forehead creased in thought.

“I haven’t?” He said, then shrugged. “Oh. S-sorry about that, they, uh, they’ll be happy to meet you, then.” He continued towards the house, dragging me with him.

“But I’m not prepared! I’ve never met your daughter, what if she hates me?” I panicked and Rick chuckled, shaking his head and ignoring me. “I haven’t even dressed up, they’re gonna think I’m a mess.” I added, looking down at my plain jeans and t-shirt.

“You look fine.” He sighed, pulling me through the front door before turning around to look at me with a little smirk. “Baby, we’ve got steak. H-how can you be nervous when there’s a nice, pink, juicy…” he looked me up and down somewhat flirtatiously, and I cocked a brow at him. “Everyone loves steak. Uh, except the vegans and vegetarians, but… whatever, come on.” He said dismissively, turning away and wandering into the house. I followed him cautiously, my heart starting to hammer in my chest.

“Dad! Dinner is almost done. Your… your friend doesn’t have any special dietary needs, does she? I wish you’d given me more notice.” Rick’s daughter was in the kitchen, her back to us as she dithered around with plates and cutlery.

“Sh-she’s not picky, are you sweetie?” Rick asked me, and I stared at him with wide eyes. I was fucking terrified.

“Oh, she’s here?” She exclaimed, spinning around with an embarrassed look on her face. When her eyes met mine, there was a very long pause. She looked between Rick and I, her expression going from confusion, to disbelief, to realisation, and finally, amusement. She burst out laughing, shaking her head and covering her mouth. Rick and I exchanged a glance, like we were missing the joke, and suddenly the laughter stopped. “Oh.. oh, no. She really is- I’m so sorry. Uhh, my name is Beth. It’s nice to finally… meet you.” She stammered, turning the pink in the face and coming over to shake my hand.

“Um, it’s nice to meet you too.” I said quietly, hoping she wouldn’t notice how sweaty my palm was.

“I’m sorry about that, I just wasn’t expecting… wow! You’re, um, you’re very-” Beth started, giving me an analytical yet careful look, like she was trying to figure out the right thing to say.

“So this is the guardian angel who’s been keeping my father in law out of the hou- oh my God!” Came a male voice, rounding the corner, overflowing with charm until he actually saw me. “Is she- she’s over eighteen, right?” He continued, staring at me with a slack jaw.

“Oh my God you two are fucking- Jesus Christ, could you try to be a little more subtle?” Rick exploded, crossing his arms over his chest and frowning deeply between the two other people in the room. “And yes Jerry, she’s fucking older than eighteen. Fuck me, what do you take me for?”

“He’s not… forcing you, is he? You’re here by choice?” Jerry looked at me with a sympathetic expression, talking under his breath.

“Oh, uhhh, no he isn’t forcing anything I’m very much here by choice.” I nodded, looking at him with concern.

“Are you sure?” He asked, taking on a fatherly tone. I just awkwardly laughed, I didn’t know what else to do. This was not going well.

“Anyway, this is (y/n), I hope you’ll both be very fucking nice to her when she joins us for dinner this evening, okay? You got that Jerry?” Rick grumbled, narrowing his eyes at the man before storming out of the room and pulling me with him. Rick slumped down into the living room sofa with a face like a slapped ass.

“Oh God.” I sighed, chewing on my thumb nail. “I don’t wanna do this.”

“What? Baby, no, it’s fine. Th-th-they just didn’t know what to expect, and Jerry’s a prick. Don’t worry about it! They’re over it now.”

“He asked me if I was fucking here against my will!” I hissed in that shouty kind of whisper.

“Yeah, I know. Fuck him, right?” He scoffed.

“You didn’t tell them that I’m younger than you?” I asked, going to take a seat next to him. Rick shrugged.

“Didn’t occur to me. I don’t think about age.” He admitted, glancing over his shoulder towards the kitchen and chewing on his lip. “I’m sorry that they acted like that, baby. Maybe I should have said something… b-but why should we have to explain ourselves to anyo-”

“Holy crap, grandpa’s a total manther.” A girl a few years younger than me walked into the room, looking like she’d just uncovered the best thing ever. Rick withered and rubbed at the bridge of his nose in annoyance.

“What the fuck is a manther?” He asked monotonously.

“You know, like a cougar, but the guy version. You’re dating a chick young enough to be your granddaughter.” She explained, though didn’t seem particularly surprised as she wandered over to us. “Hey, I’m Summer.” She addressed me.

“I’m (y/n).” I said, offering her a friendly smile. She didn’t seem too shocked to see me, acting pretty laid back about the age gap. That was a relief.

“So you must be like, twenty or something, right? Do you go to college?” She asked, her eyes perking up with interest.

“Yeah, I study locally-”

“Oh my God, what’s it like? I’m applying right now and I’m still not sure where to go, what’re you studying?” She asked, coming to take a seat on the arm of the sofa next to me.

“Oh, it’s okay, I guess. I’m studying art. I think college is more about what you put into the subject yourself, so I’d just pick based one whatever feels right when you go to visit. Like, do you feel at home there, you know?” I smiled at her, happy to have found something to talk about with at least one of Rick’s family members. Rick groaned beside me and pushed himself to his feet.

“I need a fucking drink.” He sighed.

Everyone was quiet around the dinner table. The atmosphere was so thick and awkward you could almost physically see it. It seemed the younger the family member, they less my age bothered them, since Rick’s grandson, Morty, had barely batted an eyelid at me when he’d met me. Perhaps he already knew about the age gap, I knew that Rick spent a lot of time with him, so it made sense that he’d share a lot more information with him.

“So, I heard you talking to Summer about college.” Beth said, breaking the silence with her forced, cheery tone.

“Yes. I’m studying art; I’m hoping to work in illustration once I graduate.” I explained with a smile.

“Oh? That sounds exciting. Uhh, Jerry used to work alongside a few artsy people like that, he works in advertising… when he actually has a job.” Her tone remained polite but I could sense an irritated shift as she spoke of her husband.

“Now that’s a little different, sweetie, I’m sure (y/n) here doesn’t want to be bored with the details of advertising… but if you are interested I’d be happy to have a talk with you about the kind of things I do, you never know, maybe one day you and I might-”

“Jerry.” Beth snapped.

“What? Honey, you never know when these sorts of opportunities will arise.” Jerry said defensively, and Beth rolled her eyes before looking at me.

“I’m surprised you and my dad, um, get along so well. I didn’t take him for an art lover.” She said, looking between Rick and I, eyes full of questions. “How did you two meet?”

I glanced over at Rick, hoping that he would answer for me. He simply looked back at me expectantly, waiting for me to answer. “Oh, um, he attended a party I was at one night at a friend of mine’s flat.” I said, skimping on the details. In actual fact, he’d crashed the party, turning up as drunk as a skunk through a portal in the living room. Everyone was too scared to ask him to leave, and I’d been scared too… until he decided to sit down and chat with me, and I’d actually found myself enjoying his unique charm.

“Dad? You got invited to a college party?” Beth asked in amused disbelief.

“Not exactly.” He grinned devilishly, and nobody seemed to need clarification. I supposed they knew better than anyone what he was like. “Needless to say this little cutie was eager, I-I-I was barely there ten minutes before she was trying to stick her tongue down my throat. Not that I minded, of course.” Rick spoke with a faux-romantic tone, placing his hand on my knee and looking over at me with doe-eyes. Jerry started choking, Summer gasped, and Beth’s jaw dropped. Morty simply rolled his eyes, clearly unaffected.

“Wow. Uh, maybe not at the dinner table, dad?” Beth said uncomfortably. I stared at Rick with a slack jaw, unable to find a suitable reaction. I felt like slapping him, though; not only was that humiliating, but also completely untrue. Rick was the one to kiss me, and it’d taken all my strength to shove him off of me. I hadn’t responded to any of his advances until the fifth or sixth time I’d met with him.

“That’s actually not how it went down, but… I highly doubt I’ll be believed.” I said quietly, picking up my fork and stabbing a piece of broccoli harder than necessary.

“I-I believe you.” Morty said, and I gave him a thankful smile. Rick squeezed my thigh, and I thought it might have been his way of apologising until I looked over to see his lecherous gaze. His hand slid further up my thigh, and I reached down to grab it, squeezing hard enough for him to try and pull out of my grip. When I let go of him, he narrowed his eyes at me.

“Pardon me if this seems rude, (y/n), but from an outsider’s perspective, you two make a… unique couple. What is it about Rick that you like?” Jerry asked after a period of silence, and I stared at him for a while before finding my words.

“Oh, that’s a difficult question to answer.” I said, hoping he’d take the hint and let it slide.

“She knows.” Rick said, his town low and undeniably sexual. Of course, he’d make it about sex.

“Perhaps it’s his charming sense of humor.” I said through gritted teeth, glaring at Rick as I answered.

“That’s not it.” He replied knowingly.

“No, you’re right. It’s the fact that he can always tell how I’m feeling. You know? Like when I’m really mad.” I nodded with a tight-lipped smile that was practically a grimace. The family looked between each other uncomfortably, sensing the tension between us. Rick, although he was a lover of pushing my buttons, seemed to settle down, nodding his head and reaching back to my thigh. He kept it close to my knee this time, much to my relief.

“Honestly, Jerry, as much as it pains me to admit to relating to you in any way, shape or form. I’m just as confused as you are.” He snorted. “Sh-she’s gonna be real pissed when she finds out I’m not rich and she’s wasting her time waiting around for me to croak.” He teased, and I rolled my eyes. He leaned over and kissed my cheek, putting a blush on my cheeks and a smile on Beth’s face.

After dinner, I found myself alone with Rick in the garage. I sat watching him work with my arms crossed, trying to decide if I was mad at him. Part of me was; he’d put me through hell at that dinner table, it’d been so awkward. But part of me never could be mad at him, at least not for long.

“I-if you’re gonna chew my ear off, then let’s get it out of the way.” He said to me, practically reading my mind.

“I can’t believe you made me out to me some desperate slut in there. You know that’s not what happened that night.” I sighed, but there wasn’t much annoyance in my tone at this point.

“I was trying to lighten the mood.” He smirked, seeming completely unremorseful.

“By talking about personal things in front of your daughter and grandkids?” I asked, raising a brow. He finally looked up at me then, and gestured for me to come over to him. I did, and he pulled me onto his lap. I sat sideways on his thighs, wrapping my arms around his neck to keep myself steady.

“They expect that shit from me. If it’s gonna reflect badly on anyone, it’s me; you’re in the clear. D-don’t worry. That’s just- you were nervous, and if I’m honest… I felt a little weird too. That’s just how I deal with shit.” He said quietly, wrapping his arms around me and squeezing me tight. “I-I realise that I’m punching way above my weight with you. I’m fucking seventy.”

“That doesn’t matter.” I shook my head. He shook his head too.

“It’s true. You’re young, you’re hot, s-so fucking hot that people assume I’m your fucking kidnapper or something. I just wanted to make it seem like… I don’t know. L-like there was a reason for you to be interested me.” He admitted, and I frowned.

“It’s not like you to be insecure.”

“I’m not! I-I-I don’t usually think about this shit. But their reactions… look, it doesn’t matter, okay? It’s just you and me, now.” He shook his head, looking up at me and giving me a little smile. I nodded and bent down to kiss him. He moaned softly, relaxing at the act and kissing me back with just as much eagerness. The garage door opened, and I quickly broke the kiss. I tried to get up, but Rick’s arms kept me firmly in place.

“Oh, I’m sorry.” It was Beth, chuckling when she saw us. “I just came to say goodnight. It was nice to finally meet you, (y/n). Dad’s always mentioning you, it’s great to finally have a face in mind.” She said.

“It was nice to meet you too. I'm… I’m sorry I’m not what you expected.” I gave her an apologetic smile and she laughed dismissively in response.

“I’m sorry for acting like a crazy person. I think I gave the worst first impression.” She shook her head in embarrassment and I smiled at her.

“No worries. Thank you for the lovely dinner, Beth.”

“You’re welcome, anytime.” She said, then gave us a little wave.

“G’night, sweetie.” Rick said as she left us alone. “See? Wasn’t so disastrous, w-was it?” he added, turning to me. I shook my head with a smile, and kissed him again.

Marvel’s Loki Episode 6: MCU Easter Eggs and Comics References

https://ift.tt/2UfmlQd

This article contains Loki episode 6 spoilers, and potential spoilers for the wider MCU.

The Loki season finale (and thanks to the mid-credits scene we know it’s a “season finale” not a “series finale,” thank Odin) is here, and it’s got bigger ramifications for the Marvel Cinematic Universe than we ever could have imagined. Loki episode 6 may be light on Marvel Comics Easter eggs (and after last week’s egg-fest, don’t get greedy!), but it’s BIG on characters and concepts that we’ll be dealing with and talking about for years to come.

Let’s get to work and see what we found in Loki episode 6.

The Opening

The opening space sequence is a clear homage to Robert Zemeckis’ Contact. The 1997 sci-fi film begins with a similar CG pullout from Earth into the known universe and beyond while we hear clips of historic speeches and songs. These fade away until there is silence, and then the camera reveals the universe has been inside the protagonist’s eye. As Loki’s opening tails off, we hear Sylvie shout “open your eyes!”

This isn’t the first Contact homage we’ve seen in the Disney+ MCU shows either, as WandaVision embraced one during Monica Rambeau’s transformation sequence as she forged through the Hex. And it’s not the only sci-fi movie reference we get in the episode, either!

What are Those Voices?

There are plenty of famous quotes from the MCU all through that wild, cosmic opening, but as far as we can tell, none of them are especially significant to the events of this episode. There are also some famous quotes from real life figures. They include:

“One small step for man…” – Neil Armstrong

“How dare they!” – Great Thunberg

“My dream…” – Malala Yousafzai

“We have fought for the right to experience peace.” – Nelson Mandela

“I will rise.” – Maya Angelou

“We think of time as a one-way motion…” – Not identified by closed captioning but possibly Carl Sagan

“Motivated by women throughout the world.” – Also not identified by closed captioning

This beginning features several prominent songs from throughout human history. The opening of Beethoven’s “Für Elise” pops up noticeably yet briefly, and we think we heard strains from Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake.

The majority of it, however, is set to the strains of The Harry James Band’s version of “It’s Been a Long, Long Time” a song that is heartrendingly familiar to Captain America fans as the song that plays over Avengers: Endgame’s perfect final moment. The song first popped up in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, when Nick Fury was playing it in Steve’s apartment (clearly, Steve had plans for this song), but here the “Long, Long Time” in question is referring to the lifespan of series villain, “He Who Remains,” better known as…

Kang the Conqueror

(quick disclaimer: for simplicity’s sake, we’re referring to He Who Remains as Kang in this section, but for reasons that will become clear, there’s some nuance there, so just bear with us)

Kang’s backstory as laid out here also pays tribute to the idea of “The Council of Cross Time Kangs” which is both an assortment of variant Kangs from assorted timelines and also the people who battled/defeated them…and thus took on the mantle of Kang in their respective timelines. Does your head hurt yet? Because…

There was also an “Interdimensional Council of Reeds” from Jonathan Hickman’s run on Fantastic Four. Like Kang, various Reed Richards from various realities met up via portals and decided to help out areas of the multiverse in need using their combined intellect. Initially, they were mostly killed by a bunch of Celestials. These days they’re back, but led by the corrupt Reed Richards from the Ultimate Universe (the Maker). Things are going to be absolutely bonkers when the MCU finally brings us the FF.

Despite Jonathan Majors having signed on to play Kang the Conqueror in Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, he’s never actually identified as such here. In the credits, he’s the Miss Minutes-approved “He Who Remains.” The closest we get to him being called Kang is when he mentions that he’s been referred to as “a conqueror.” He also mentions that he’s been called a “ruler” which could very well be taken as a reference to the character’s time as Pharaoh Rama-Tut.

When Sylvie takes a swing at Kang early on, he teleports and ends up laying down behind them in a smug pose. This looks to be a reference to his first comic appearance (1964’s Avengers #8), where the Avengers find him casually laying down in mid-air.

Loki Episode 6 Review: For All Time. Always.

Who is Kang the Conqueror? Powers and Marvel Comics History Explained

By Jim Dandeneau

Kang isn’t rocking any of his familiar comics looks here (although the color scheme is vaguely appropriate), but at least one of the “miniatures” he uses to illustrate his story appears to be.

He Who Remains

While the “He Who Remains” we meet here is definitely meant as a Kang variant of some kind, the character exists independently of Kang in the comics!

He Who Remains has only made a handful of appearances in Marvel Comics, with the first (and most substantial) being in 1976’s Thor #246 by Len Wein, John Buscema, and Joe Sinnott. There, it was Thor and Jane Foster entering the “Citadel at the End of Time” to meet He Who Remains, and they have ALMOST a similar moment to Loki and Sylvie in that one wants He destroyed while the other wants to listen to what he has to say.

The comics He Who Remains was later revealed as the founder of the TVA (just like we see in the MCU) and the actual creator of the Time-Keepers. And while he shares Kang’s fondness for purple, he was never defined as a Kang variant in the comics, and in fact was pretty explicitly not that.

Secret Wars

The Multiversal War idea that plays so heavily throughout Loki also ties into Jon Hickman’s Avengers run where the multiverse has been collapsing onto itself due to the machinations of the Beyonders. As entropy destroys everything, various Earths are pitted against each other and are given the choice of destroying the other or both dying. While this led to a single world run by Dr. Doom, Reed Richards was eventually able to overtake him and bring back the multiverse.

Also with Hickman’s run, there was a moment of Captain America coming across a group of Kangs from different eras (regular Kang, Iron Lad, and Immortus) and explaining that allowing so many to die in order to save so many more is immoral. After the inspirational speech, Kang simply told him, “No one here…cares.”

Ravonna Renslayer

Well, we share the FDR High School pen mystery with this episode, that’s for sure!

After Renslayer decided she wouldn’t be steered towards a complicated future with Kang in the pages of Marvel Comics, she betrayed him and then assumed the name “Rebecca Tourminet,” which we see printed on her diploma back on Earth when B-15 is introducing the TVA Minutemen to the Real Her.

Interestingly, MCU Renslayer doesn’t appear to be aware of Kang or He Who Remains just yet, so perhaps there’s more interesting things coming down the pipe for these time-tossed lovers.

The Ending

“You know you can’t get to the end until you’ve been changed by the journey,” Kang tells Loki and Sylvie. It seems as though Kang has a surprisingly thorough understanding of what makes a good story. This could potentially be a shoutout to Dan Harmon, creator of Community and Rick and Morty, the latter of which Loki showrunner Michael Waldron wrote on. Harmon is famous for constructing “story circles” to help young writers understand the proper beats of storytelling.

The final shot of a confused Loki looking at a massive (and mostly comics-accurate) Kang the Conqueror statue is definitely a reference to the ending of the original Planet of the Apes (a franchise which also has some wacky timeline shenanigans of its own) which gives us a huge twist by having the main character come across the Statue of Liberty and piece together the truth of his world. Then again, it could also fit with the Tim Burton remake where the protagonist comes across an ape version of the Lincoln Memorial.

There’s also a serious Invasion of the Body Snatchers vibe to that ending, with a dazed/crazed Loki trying to explain the impossible to a skeptical audience who clearly don’t believe him.

We wrote in more detail about all the implications of that ending right here.

The Post-Credits Scene

We can’t help but feel that the mid-credits scene that literally and explicitly spells out in actual words that Loki season 2 is happening is a meta-joke at the expense of sites like Den of Geek, who make a big deal out of “explaining” every Marvel post-credits sequence. To which we say…yeah, cool, fair enough!

cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "106e33c0-3911-473c-b599-b1426db57530", }).render("0270c398a82f44f49c23c16122516796"); });

Spot anything we missed? Let us know in the comments!

Rick could of have totally canonically been around when Morty was a toddler theory

Okay so a lot of people claim that Morty Isn’t Rick (c-137 so we’re clear, the main guys) original Morty and the evidence they give for this often is in reference to that scene when we first had to deal with Evil Morty and upon scanning Rick’s brain finding memories of him interacting with a young/toddler Morty, people claim this isn’t possible since Morty is 14 and Rick was claimed to have been gone for over 20 years before returning, so imma tell you why IT IS VERY MUCH POSSIBLE now based on the new episode, Morty’s mind blowers.

Okay first of all, let’s point out the fact Beth only ever claims Rick left for 20 years, we don’t know when exactly he left, it could of been when Beth was a teenager or a young adult. We just know he’s been gone for 20 years. Some quick Math, Rick was confirmed in the Rest and Ricklaxation episode by Toxic Rick, to be currently 70 years old, that means 20 years ago, he was only 50 when he left. But wait, that would put Beth in her late 30′s, probably early 40′s, she would of known Jerry by then, and probably had summer as well. Based on his appearance and stuff, when Beth is shown to be about 6-8 in things such as the Simple Rick version of him he looks older than his 20′s, so I’d say that he didn’t have Beth till his early 30′s/late 20′s, which is normal, I mean I’m 18 and my moms almost 50 so she didn’t have me until her 30′s/late 20′s as well. I’m convinced he was in his early 30′s for sure when Beth was around that age. Okay let’s talk about what I noticed In Morty’s Mind Blowers. This erased memory right here:

To be clear this isn;t a Rick’s been around for a long time kinda thing and just been erasing Morty’s memories, this particular Birthday was clearly Erased just because Morty tossed the candles in Rick’s face lol. Okay but you see the number of the candles? 13! Morty was TURNING 13! Which means Rick has been around since AT LEAST, Morty was 12! That’s at least 2 years of Rick. Now the first episode of the show, Rick’s seen having breakfast with the family as he always does, we can tell from this that it’s normal for that to be a thing in the household by this point. They don’t act as if Rick has just recently come back, even though that’s what we’re originally lead to believe. We just get filler and information and any discussion about Rick and how Beth doesn’t want him to leave again, or Jerry getting annoyed each time Rick sucks up to Beth seems to also just be routine. Jerry was obviously used to comments like Rick complimenting Beth on the breakfast, to obviously counteract any complaints Jerry has about him.

IS 2 years enough to make that seem normal? Yeah it does, it also mean rick was 48 when he left. However, I’d like to point out we have enough headway to assume he was actually much younger when he left Beth and her mother. Also not to mention there’s some stuff in the smith household that are too well adjusted to the presence of Rick for him to have only been there for 2 years. The holiday themed episode doesn’t seem like its their first or 2nd holiday with Rick. There’s also the commentary on how Beth was complaining Rick’s adventures were the reasons Morty was falling behind in school, but from what we’ve already seen, 2 years isn’t quite enough to get THAT far behind in school, Mortys only in his first year of highschool I assume, it isn’t THAT HARD based on what the school system is today. Sure Morty is canonically autistic, but he’s clearly a high functioning end of the autistic scale. (or lat least it was hinted he’s maybe autistic in an episode regarding his schooling) However his math shouldn’t be that hard yet in highschool’s starting year, even if he has a condition, he should be at least pulling through, instead of failing. Y’know what would make highschool math really hard though? HAVING MISSED A LOT OF YOUR BASIC MATH FROM MIDDLE SCHOOL.

Rick’s been around for more than 2 years, and I’d be willing to bet he’s been taking Morty on adventures for a long time, I mean look at it, look at all the stuff they go through? It’d take a lot more than 2 years to adjust to all of this stuff. Maybe since Morty was 10, that seems like a mature enough number to go by, but it’s possible Rick’s been dragging Morty around since he could talk and walk, which really should be around age 8-10.

Okay so more math, Let’s say in those memories Rick has, Mortys about 2 years old, 10 years later we have the canon 12 years old Rick is absolutely CONFIRMED for being around for. Summer’s like what? 18? (or 16? I honestly don’t recall but she’s not that important) Either way if Morty was 2 summer would of been 4-6. She probably would of remembered Rick a bit more, but we don’t see much of Summer in the shows, and especially her interacting with Rick, So we don’t have any evidence to argue the fact if she recalls Rick from a younger age or not.

Okay so now instead of knocking 2 years off of 50 we’re knocking 10 years off, making Rick a solid 40 when he left, which is reasonable, putting Beth, as I said, in her late teens to early 20′s when Rick left, which would explain why Rick wasn’t aware of her meeting Jerry and all of her other adult things including getting pregnant with Summer. (and Morty if he is only recently back in that Morty memory)

The numbers actually work out, and y’know something? I can see him leaving. We know how Rick is with Romance and feelings and I can say it’s probably safe to assume his feeling for Dianne, his former wife, died off pretty quickly. He probably just stayed for so long actually to care for Beth, but once Beth was able to be on her own, Rick up and left for whatever reasons. The numbers WORK OUT. This is entirely possible!

So unless I’ve missed some key things to debunk stuff in this theory, and aside from probably just being a number or two off on my number guesses, let’s quickly recap.

Rick has canonically been around his family for at least 2 confirmed years.

Theory suggests hes actually been around for longer, at least 10 years.

This makes it possible for him to have genuine memories of a toddler Morty, thus debunking the fact our Morty isn’t C-137′s Morty and those memories were of a different Morty,

Summer should have some memories of Rick when he came back to the family.

Rick was in his early 40′s when he left Beth and Dianne.

Beth was only in her young adults when Rick left for 20 years.

But y’know this is just a theory. Feel free to combat it and or have a friendly discussion/debate with me about it.

-. C O R R U P T U S I V.-

Everything there was relatively close, but there were still distances that walking would take forever. Choosing the shuttle was an option for the Ricks that carry luggage and Zero didn’t repair a second by leaving his Morty in the merchandise section.

Good point that he was not the only boy there, but actually the only one who couldn’t stop sobbing /not so much by the wound on his lip, but from his heart/. Other Mortys tried to calm him down, but just mentioning that his pain was due to a Rick who locked him up for a while and then hit him for not-wanting-go; the Mortys looked away and take him as a madman.

The third branch of the citadel, however, was closed from the entrance, a team of forensic and other more detectives blocked the passage of tourists, noting that they couldn´t cross the area to the nursery.

“Why is the way closed here? I want to return this Morty in his care center” spit Zero with patience throws a garbage, pulling the red collar to his Fan Morty, the one who relaxed when he saw that the passage was closed and they surely would return to his home.

“Confidential information,” said a guard, who rolled his eyes and went to patrol; His relief was a freckled Morty guard who could barely hold his weapon.

“Y-YES! Confidential Information” screamed, avoiding the eyes of the eldest, but when he was no longer able to resist see him, a deep look made him even more pressure than his training instructor.

“The nursery was burned! It’s okay? Someone burned the nursery yesterday at afternoon, and although all the Mortys survived I can’t say the same thing about the Ricks, not one of them was left alive”

“Oh, I see,” Zero confessed. “Don’t you know where’s another? I really need to leave this Morty”

But that Morty was already somewhere else; In his memories. Rick Storage, that Rick who adopted him as his employee, his friend, died. He couldn’t say that he remembered something bad in him because even, his angry outbursts were valid.

It was then realized, that he never told him that he was leaving; Storage must have worried a lot when he didn’t find him at the store the next day after the night he left; He must have been the only one to care for him; ever. He never got a chance to call him, to visit him again and tell him he was fine and that a good Rick had already adopted him, surely Storage would have loved to hear it.

Someone as good as he, didn’t deserve death, much less be burned alive. The sores of memories about his first grandfather, the original, stormed him with surprise leaving him in a limbo of confusion. He repeated both images, his own Rick and Storage, as if his head wanted to explode.

Speechless.

“There’s an interim kindergarten to the east, but you have to record your visit to the council before you enter, I hope you don’t mind, sir.” concluded the guard

“The council? Since when are they interested in how the Mortys are handled?”

“I don’t know, sir.”

“You bastard!” shouted Rick guard returning from his routine “Don’t talk to the tourists”

“Sorry sir! ” a silly military greeting.

“And you both!” said the guard “Stop harassing my Morty, pervert, you already have one”

Zero and Morty got out of there, this time walking, the Great Court of the Ricks’ Council was not far off and if that was one of the few requirements that they asked to left a Morty into a Day Care, that was fine. They entered the reception, but where re-directed to the court room.

A Morty lawyer received them kindly, especially with Super Fan, as he took him to an infirmary for general review. Zero Rick stayed in the huge seminar room, in front of those 6 hypocrites who looked at him disgusted.

“Why would you want to return that beautiful exemplary to the place where you took it?”

“I can’t keep him, he’s a pain in the ass.”

“Did you think about it when you adopted him?”

“I didn’t adopt him, he wanted to go with me, now give me my permission to return him.”

“Can you show us your registration papers?”

“I don’t have any”

“Well… You’d have checked the memorandum that we sent last week. It has become illegal all Morty without registration, he will be seized as evidence, and you will be sent to prison for attempted steal”

“What?” His weak posture straightened “What are they talking about? I don’t have any messages, this is incredible, you can’t arrest me for possessing a Morty.

"One without papers, yes, I’m sorry, Zero, it’s the rules now”

The older man’s tantrum only increased when he noticed that the guards were approaching him, especially since HIS Morty was out of sight. Those damned bastards had taken him away, and he delivered himself to their doors.

“You never care about the Mortys. Why would you something like that until now?”

“I’ll tell you something, things change. They can swith…” Riq V’s smile spread along with his aura; Now that Zero remembered, he was the only one who had been talking, the others were still there.

"You’ll go to prison until you find out that Morty is yours, and that you also can take care of him as he deserves. Otherwise … He’ll be added to our private collection, I understand he have a liking for the Ricks, surely he’d have fun there"

“Don’t you dare to put a finger on MY Morty! I will kill you!”

“Your Morty? Didn’t you want to return him a few seconds ago? I think you’re exaggerating your words, don’t you think? I’m getting hard of thinking about that tight ass"

A pair of Ricks guards, possibly the strongest of them, took him by the arms to get him out of court; He tried to take his pistol by a wrong move, kicking or pushing were far from helping him.

"This is unfair! Let me go! Don’t do anything to my Morty!” The terror assaulted him again, he felt a great emptiness in his being, more than he usually felt.

He wanted him, he wanted that Morty with him and he was just accepting it until now. How he dind’t realize it before? The fleet took him straight to the ship that would take him to his future cell, never felt so much panic in his life. He had to return, he had to rescue the boy from the horrendous destiny that had marked him. Everything became black and confused, the walls contracted against himself and his phobias little helped to move his thoughts away.

It had all been his fault.

…

“You must be scared, is this your first time in an infirmary?”

- …

“Morty?”

-No, it’s not.

“Don’t you like to talk?”

Fan Morty looked at him with a wounded gleam in his eyes, dead. The lawyer only snickered.

“Easy, I read your dimension history, it is normal for you to act like this; But that was over. You will be safe here; where we go, no damn Rick will hurt us again.

"Where we go?”

The nursing Morty finished his work by reviewing it superficially, letting it rise from the table, but without removing the patient’s blue coat.

“I need to know if you have other traumas, can you turn around?” said the nurse"

“What will you do?” asked Fan Morty.

“I’m going to check your ass, many Mortys come here without knowing what they have in there, oh boy, I’ve found every single thing...” the nurse looked at the lawyer, and he nodded to turn to see other side.

“Zero would never do that to me,” he said indignantly, followed by a moan as he felt the twinge of a thin artifact creep into his body.

“Oh dear, nothing has gotten there before, sorry for taking your first time with a detector,” announced the nurse, filling the reports.

“You come from a daycare, right?” Asked the lawyer, back for looking at the whole scene with utter curiosity.

“Yeah, that’s right … I was the lead assistant from … Rick Storage.

But far from saddened, SRFM pronounced his name with much love, being careful not to waste it in vain.

"Yes, of course, then you know how to run a kindergarten?”

“I suppose, but what’s all this about?”

“Look, I’ll tell you the truth. You called my attention because you have a past in common with horrible Ricks, the Rick of your dimension was a drunk, I’m surprised he didn’t rape you before. That Storage was an abusive one that got you to do his job while he was making all the money, and this … kidnapper, Zero; He had you prisoner in his basement for a while, didn’t he? Morty A-031?

"How do you know all this?”

“That’s none your business. What matters is that your anger towards the Ricks must be so great, I have no problem confessing this to you. We’re planning a revolution. The Great Revolution of the Mortys. We can be free if you help us”

Super fan carved his eyes, it had to be a joke. The nurse now prepared some liquid in a test tube, and the lawyer looked at him expectantly. Something inside the Rick’s fanatic convinced him to follow the game, he was startled by what he was hearing.

“We burn the nursery, to be able to release all those Mortys in the citadel, the more we are, the more power we will have.”

“But a guard told me there was another kindergarten to the east …”

“It’s a lie, all the Mortys must tell the Ricks that, but they must first come to this court to - handle - their abandonment. Here I welcome the Mortys who were to be cruelly discarded, and assign them a place in the mission.

"W-what do you do with the R-Ricks?”

“I lock them up until we can control them all; it isn’t so difficult.

"Does Ricks’s Council allow this?”

“My pets? They barely know what race they are, those bastards do what I tell them to do.

"… Who you are?”

“Just a Morty, of course, Mortimer X-043, to serve you.”

“ … ”

“ … There are no Mortys on the X Dimension… ”

“And here wont be more Ricks ”

The nurse approached the fan’s arm, taking him unawares, injecting a pink serum into his skin, the boy’s pupils dilated instantly, his posture loosened in a matter of seconds. He was weak, manipulative.

“I’d like to know, Morty,” the lawyer continued. “When I take the citadel and rule these damn old men, you’ll be with me at Ricks Daycare, which I intend to open, as our helper?”

“ … ”

The lawyer thundered his fingers a couple of times, the dose of sedative was overloaded.

“I… I-I will,” he whispered.

“All right! That’s all I wanted to know, take him to the Ricks’ board, those bastards made it excellent, I’m going to reward them with him”

ok holy shjt my dream last night

most likely very long so

me and two other people were whisked away to some magical over-the-top holy shit amazing resort that may have also been a school (think of the ss tipton from suite life on desk, but as a mega land resort), i think if you stayed there long enough you got uniforms? i wanna say they were vaguely ho.gwa.rts-esque but idk for sure

and we stay there a few days, but then shit gets weird

we went to some boutique in the resort, and one of the girls tried on an outfit and loved it, and wanted to walk down the street to show her family (i guess they lived close)

she screamed at us from the street saying “i can’t leave!”

we repeated it out loud and right as she confirms it, the place goes into lockdown

there’s safety rooms opening from the walls (they were like the width of an ironing board and were barely big enough for one person to fit in), that or that was the door sizes that just led to actual rooms where we huddled down

people began screaming (namely the workers), stuff about how “WHY CANT WE LEAVE” and/or “YOU CANT EVER LEAVE.” “WHY WOULD YOU LEAVE”

after a calm creepy lecture of why we shouldn’t think about leaving, we are taken off of lockdown and acted like nothing happened

but me and the girls knew

this place brainwashes you, and they also most likely kill people/make them into slaves to work there

so in response to this, i turn myself into rick (no i didn’t become an alcoholic, i literally just, shapeshift), only i guess my powers were weakened here because i never felt like him (still felt like i was in my body (aka short, i perceived myself as me, but others would see me as rick)), and for the first day i had to do an impression of him instead of just naturally sounding like him with the change (this hurt my throat very badly, but the voice came naturally the next day

i turned myself into him because i knew he wouldn’t get brainwashed, and he always had access to technology that could help us escape

i guess no one noticed that “i” was gone and this old dude is now there (maybe i wiped/changed their memory?) so it just went about normally then

my friends were struggling to not become brainwashed but i knew i still had time, so i did a few things

chatted up the 2nd owner who was named John Snow (he had no relation to the guy from the show (and his name was spelled like that)), asking a few things

if there was any kind of social media/internet allowed here. he said yes, he said a few, and then he mentioned this like snapchat that they made just for the place (and asked me to add him, i was not able to get the download code)

if i could send my grandson here. he says absolutely, just make this care package thing and it’ll bring him here (bc of course i need morty in on this)

tried to get on the good side of the owner(s), which involved a thing everyone eventually does there where they lock up everything (i think this is like, the final stage of brainwashing but i had a plan to escape)

locking up involved collecting an amount of keys that basically looked like weird giant bottle caps, and they all had words on them. and once you collect them all you bring them to john, tell him the theme connecting all the words, and then you get to follow him to the gate to lock up the front, and this had to be done before a certain time/curfew (which i believe was either 9:30, 10:00, or 10:30)

you seem extra good when you volunteer to do this, so i did, figuring morty would be there in time to help

john lets me take a picture of the words i need to collect (everyone else usually just gets a list but because i was being so cool to him he let me take a pic (also tried to take a picture of the not-snapchat code, couldnt for some reason bc dream logic does not like cameras. because of this logic my photo of the words was also a bit blurry, the further down the list the less you could see, the last few were covered by other papers))

i had 20 keys scattered through 20 rooms, and there happened to be 19 rooms in my section of the resort, and then the whole pool area

i had no clue what i was looking for or where, but the very first key was “TAN”, so i of course go into the pool area, and i spend like 10 minutes looking for just this key

so i then look in my room, and i find another, but it looks different from the TAN key (the tan one was more button shaped), but i continue to other rooms not knowing what to look for (until the next room has one that looks like the one from my room)

i just collect everything vaguely shaped like what im looking for that also had words on it

and one of the places i started picking up speed in finding keys was in joe bidens room. specifically his room and his kids room (in my dream he had 2 very young daughters), he was cool and was like “yeah rick you can do this” (i feel like he secretly knew what was going on and was cheering for me), and i had to say hi to his kids and ask if i could go in their room and get something and they agreed. i had to step over a lot of toys on the ground to get to it

so now i counted and saw i had 23 keys, and 2 of them repeated, but i didnt care because there was so little time left, so i ran to find john but ran into who i believe was justin roiland, the head owner of the place

i ask where john is and he points me in the right direction, and i see john kinda worried

idk why he was but i ended up dropping all the keys, and i was like “hey i got more than 20 and some of them repeat are these all right?” he says yes, and asks me for the theme

i stutter not knowing, and i think he’s in such a hurry he gives me the answer (i think it was like, essentials at a resort or something)

we start walking quickly towards the gate, me mentally preparing myself for morty’s arrival/putting my plan into action (note: either i dont remember what my plan was, or i really had no idea what i was gonna do), it’s raining/lightning so it’s kinda cool

but i get stopped by a group in the entrance, they want me to help greet the new people just arriving + some of them were having a birthday (none of which were morty), and i couldn’t get away, and i had lost sight of john, i think he was waiting back for me but idk for sure

so i fake smile and hold up a big six, then the second it’s done i find john and we make our way to the gate

i woke up and have no idea what happened next, i think my plan involved knocking john out or something, and morty would arrive around then or soon after as i figured out how the gate/barrier worked
