#like i didn't like her depiction in that ep for these reasons anon

[bolly--quinn]

not to demean OP’s headcanons in your post about diane and ricks relationships and attributes, but it seems wrong to say that Diane’s been portrayed as an airhead bimbo in the fandom. i think with this character we know little about it’s not outrageous to propose that diane could’ve been a gentle, kind, loving person—someone who might’ve been a little soft, or shy. why is that impossible for rick (especially in the past) to have fallen for that? why are these traits not good enough for rick? these traits dont necessarily mean weakness or stupidity

Oh!! I totally agree and I hope that my post didn't seem to suggest that she can't be a total sweetie peach as well!! That's kinda what I didn't like about fear no mort tbh (I know it was Morty's fear but the writers said it was accurate and that made me a bit :/) she seemed too rough around the edges for my taste as the episode progressed (like her depiction when they went to get ice cream and to the zoo was perfect to me because we could see that she takes no shit but is so fiercely loving)

I totally agree and think that she can definitely be gentle and loving without being an "airhead" and that she can be nurturing and sweet and a brilliant badass
