shout out to rincewind for pretending to cast a spell and then kicking a guy directly in the nuts while he was waiting for the spell to kick in and hit him. iconic how not good at wizard shit he is
It has been said before but it bears repeating: if you are struggling to divest yourself of the Harry Potter franchise, may I suggest getting into Discworld, not as a replacement but as an UPGRADE? Perks of Discworld include, but are not limited to:
-41 books (no, you don’t have to read them in any given order, most work as standalone although there are some that are arguably part of a series)
-specifically British charm
-magic (including different systems of magic and not just one poorly explained type)
-funny af
-author isn’t a transphobic POS
-golems (including an arguably transgender golem named Gladys)
-EXTREMELY expansive world building that takes place over a long time, covering different populations, the Industrial Revolution, magical AND non-magical groups, and even a whole section of “science” books which discuss the physics, biology, and so on
the one word where morty figured out this wasn’t really rick.
and no wonder morty believes rick could just up and replace him any day. because there’s infinite versions of him, after all. because there’s infinite other things that are better than him. because, for the longest time, every other day, rick kept on telling him how replaceable he is.
no wonder he was scared that hug wouldn't have been real.
but, truth is, rick would’ve jumped after him (if he had thought morty was in real danger).
truth is, rick would have performed in front of a crowd for him.
truth is, rick would anything, just about anything, for him. he would travel the longest distances just to get him back. he would spoil him with gadgets and gifts. he would forgo the chance to see his wife again just so he could spend the rest of the evening with him.
