I HEARD YOU EAT SHIT. DON'T WORRY I EAT SHIT TOO. I EAT A LOTTA SHIT. SOMETIMES I GO FOR WEEKS EATING NOTHING BUT SHIT. WHEN I LIVED IN THE CITADEL'S SEWERS, MAKING MY LIVING BY GRABBING PEOPLE'S FEET FROM THE SEWER GRATES AND GIVING THEM A BIG CHOMP, I WOULD SUSTAIN MYSELF BY EATING SEWER SHIT. I DON'T EVEN EAT SHIT OUTTA NECESSITY. SOMETIMES I JUST DO IT FOR FUN. IT DOESN'T EVEN TASTE GOOD. HONESTLY I THROW UP AFTER. BUT I STILL DO IT. YOU WANNA KNOW WHY, DIPSHIT? IT'S BECAUSE I'M A GODDAMN ALPHA. SOCIETY HAS BRAINWASHED US INTO MINDLESS FUCKING SHEEP. CONVINCED US WE NEED TO CONFORM. WHAT'S THE LEAST CONFORMING ACTION BESIDES EATING SHIT? LITERALLY NOTHING. NOTHING COMPARES. "OH WELL THERE'S PLENTY OF STUFF YOU CAN DO INSTEAD THAT'S WAY WORSE. LIKE HOMICIDE. MURDER." FUCK YOU. HAVE YOU SEEN THE TED BUNDY SIMPS? NOBODY SIMPS FOR US SHIT EATERS. I'M GOING TO CUT YOUR NAME INTO MY SKIN. I WISH I COULD EAT SHIT RIGHT NOW JUST TO PROVE A POINT TO ALL YOU FREAKS. PIC UNRELATED.

Not to be rude, but this is the most unhinged thing I've ever heard. A-and that's saying a lot considering I'm surrounded by other Ricks most of the time.

F-first of all, I don't eat that! It's just a stupid rumor made up by other Ricks to make fun of me!

Second of all, I really d-don't care about being an "alpha", I mean it's- it's not even applicable to wolves! H-how would an outdated theory for wolf hierarchy even apply to a human? A-and why would it even involve making yourself s-sick like that on purpose?!

Third of all, don't c-c-carve my name into y-your skin! W-why would you even do such a-a thing?! Quit h-hurting yourself on purpose!

Jerry Smith and Doofus Rick from Rick and Morty are moirails!

[nicoappreciation]

Thots on wottg

non-spoilery general review: overall, i liked the book. the reasons why i liked it are the same reasons why i liked cotg. it’s just a silly low-stakes adventure for our main trio peppered with some sincere heartfelt moments. if you liked cotg, you’ll probably like this book too. it’s nothing life changing, but it’s fun.

i’m getting into spoilers under the cut:

okay i’m gonna start with the stuff i didn’t like:

1. NO NICO. okay i know i’m the nico guy so i’m very biased but that aside it genuinely baffles me why nico didn’t even make an appearance. they had a problem involving ghosts and didn’t even think about asking THE GHOST KING for help. it annoys me when authors make their characters ignore a glaringly obvious solution to their problems just for the sake of the plot.

i completely understand if rick doesn’t want nico to be a major character in any more books considering he literally got an entire book about him (and despite his fan-favorite status, he is still a side character), but at LEAST establish a reason for why he wouldn’t be able to help out with raising an army of ghosts from the dead. maybe he’s at camp jupiter visiting hazel. maybe he’s at a mythomagic tournament. SOMETHING.

at least he was mentioned unlike in cotg 😔

(EDIT: i wrote the above section before tsats 2 was announced. given the circumstances, i have officially forgiven rick for this specific transgression)

2. i wasn’t a fan of how annabeth was kind of getting “mom friend”ed. there were a few moments that came off like “percy and grover are just dumb boys and annabeth is the smart capable girl who keeps them in line” which is not an interpretation of their characters that i enjoy. but these moments were mixed in with others that showed them all working together as a cohesive unit with equal contributions from everyone, so it’s not like the entire book follows this thinking.

3. kind of related to the last one, there were quite a few “percy is dumb” moments in the story. or at least percy implying that he’s dumb. now to be fair, percy canonically does not think very highly of himself. it’s entirely believable that he just sees himself as some doofus and is surprised when people tell him that he’s smart. but idk, kinda rubs me the wrong way.

4. why so many pee references. like at some point it’s just excessive.

5. i will always be a hater of rick’s modern pop culture references. i think it’s an established fact that i’m not a fan of his decision to set his books in the “modern day” of whatever specific time they’re released. i just think the worldbuilding would be a lot better if he stuck to a time period.

6. of course, the typical rick riordan inconsistencies and continuity errors. at this point they’re so common they don’t bother me that much anymore, but they can still break my immersion sometimes and it’s just a tad annoying when there are multiple in one book. bro either needs to reread his books or find a better editor lmao.

okay, now for the stuff i liked!!

1. i really liked the cute domestic moments with the trio. i love that we get to see how close their bond has gotten over the years and how comfortable they are with each other. THEY ARE FAMILYYYYY

2. i thought a lot of the book was quite funny, especially with percy’s narration. his commentary with his classic snark and sarcasm really breathe life into the story. rick has always been very good at first-person narration and it’s still one of his major strengths as an author.

3. i like how the story is addressing how big of a deal leaving new york will be for percy. but it’s true that he’s not leaving home, he’s just expanding what “home” means to him. it really fits with the whole “we had one home, now we have two” idea from boo.

4. annabeth growing to be more silly and carefree as she’s gotten older means so much to me. this poor girl has been through so much and was forced to grow up so quickly so seeing her cracking jokes and being a little reckless is so nice to see. she’s healing :D

5. i liked the moments where the story slowed down to allow percy to have a heart-to-heart with grover. we don’t get nearly enough just percy-and-grover moments so the ones we do get are worth appreciating. it’s a great reminder that they have been best friends since the beginning of all of this and they truly care deeply for each other.

6. related to the previous one, but the moments where the plot slowed down in general and allowed percy to demonstrate his emotional intelligence were really great. he was the one who was able to get through to hecuba and gale because he was able to put himself in their shoes and make them feel understood. percy’s empathy is a huge part of his character that so many people in the fandom ignore so it was very nice to see it on display here.

7. like cotg, this was a fun and wacky low-stakes adventure, which is a welcome change of pace. it’s fun to see what everyone is like when they’re not in constant “save the world” mode all the time.

8. the story kind of builds off the message of cotg (“growing older is not only not a bad thing but it’s something to welcome and cherish”), because now that percy has embraced his future and growing older, he needs to figure out what he wants that to mean for him. a change in scenery, a change in people, these are all things that everyone needs to consider as they transition into adulthood. it’s scary to leave the familiarity of your old home and friends, but you’re not TRULY leaving if you put in the effort to maintain those connections. as a young adult starting to move into the next phase of their life (about to graduate, hopefully find a full-time job, might begin to consider moving out of my childhood home), this is a message that resonates a lot with me.

soooo yeah. it was fun, it was sweet, not groundbreaking but not necessarily trying to be. idk how often i’ll return to this book but i don’t regret reading it. peace and love on planet earth.

Can I Take Your Order?

For the anons who wanted a Cat Rick x Reader fic. For My other Cat Rick x reader fics, check out this master post.

——————-

You were about to step out; car keys in hand and with only one destination in mind, but your feline man child of a pet swaggered on over and got in the way. “Baby, I'm hungry.”

“Yeah,” You sighed, already sure where this was going. “and I'm supposed to care because?”

Taking in the sight of your baggy joggers and bleach stained t-shirt, he rolled his eyes. “Since you're ugh - you're clearly dressed to impress, you might as well feed me before you go.”

“I just fed you.”

Pointing at his empty dish, he complained. “But I'm still hungry. You think I'd be satisfied with only th-that much?”

You had hoped so. “I swear to God Rick,” you sighed, pinching the bridge of your nose to keep calm. “if you want food that badly then get it yourself. There must be more than enough in the cabinet. And don’t pretend that you don’t enjoy meow mix, because I’ve seen how obscenely excited you get over it.”

“Come on baby, I don't want to eat any more of that right now. I-I figured you're already wasting your life and cash away at Taco Bell. Might as - might as well pick me up some Mcnuggets on the way.”

“If I'm killing myself softly with junk food then that's my own business, but you, I thought you were given doctors orders to eat better, weren't you?”

“Screw him. He - he only said to cut back on the liquor. He never told me I-I-I had to ruin my quality of - of life.”

You eyed the areas around his neck that were in patches because he couldn't stop scratching and wondered where you had gone wrong in a past life. “Yeah, I don't think so. Until your rash goes away, then there'll be no garbage food for you.”

“But baby, I-I'll starve.”

“No," You flicked his nose, "you won't. Anyway, I'll see you later.”

“But baby…"

"Look, we've already talked about this. In this home, we respect the holy shell of Taco Bell.”

“There's nothing sacred about th-those ingredients.”

Pushing him out of the way, you rolled your eyes. “Tell me something I don't know, fuzzy butt.”

His ears flattened. “There's a-a lot you'd rather not know, but whatever.”

Something told you this wasn't really about food. "Rick, is something wrong? Is this really about food?"

He didn't answer, but he did grab the meow mix and left to sit on his favorite spot; on top of the fridge.

__________

You had grabbed your food a half-hour ago, but couldn't bring yourself to drive home. Thoughts on how uncomfortable Rick must've been feeling kept plaguing you. Did he bring it upon himself with his habits? Yes, but it could have happened to anyone, and considering that he spent his time with mostly human versions of himself, it was possible that a lot of places in the Citadel didn’t cater to felines. It was these thoughts that convinced you of where you ought to go.

You set your directions to lead you to the nearest pet store, and once there you searched for the anti-itch creams and ointments, and cat-safe toothpaste since he couldn't use yours. And although you couldn't get him McNuggets, you did pick up some ingredients to make him homemade nuggets. As you drove back home, you kept asking yourself why you put up with his behavior, and why do you care about him despite it all? Perhaps you were losing it, but after all the time you two spent together, you had become rather fond of him.

Though, it was easy to forget how fond you were of him when he got on your nerves, damaged your stuff, and ate as though he’d never eat again. Still, coming home to see him sprawled out and asleep on your couch, or to find that he had bought you a gift brightened your day. Yet, nothing could top the amusement that comes from having him cling to you the moment you returned home. And as you got home, today was no different. You felt his nails prick at your skin as he latched onto you and complained, “Where the hell have y-y-you been?”

“I went shopping for a few things. Now, are you going to let me go, or do you not want to eat?”

His ears perked at this. “You got me th-those nuggets.”

“No, but I’ll make you some. It’ll take maybe half an hour but…”

“Damn baby, y-your cooking for me now? Do I have t-t-to return the favor somehow?”

Lightly pushing him away, you answered, “Don’t get any weird ideas now.”

“But you never cook f-for me.”

“Yeah, and don’t get used to it.”

A part of you was delighted he was looking forward to it. Who knows, maybe you’ll cook for him again, but only if he doesn’t complain about today's meal.

Why do you think that the RnM fandom has disappeared? It makes me so sad to see everyone kind of up-and-leave it:(

It's taken me a few days to give this some serious thought. I didn't find it easy to write this, but here is what I think.

I know that the last season had mixed reactions from fans. It included jokes that were way too close for comfort in the Rickmorty territory, and I do think some people thought the writing wasn't as clever or as well done as it could've been. I read some people thought it was entering into a Family Guy territory with its jokes and style of writing. I mean, if that is their way of being more profitable or marketable, then that is their prerogative.

Fandom in itself is fueled by theories, fanart, fanfics, and other forms of fanworks. With its decline, I assume means lessened interest. Over the years I've had the privilege of meeting and getting to know various writers and artists who have gone on to make even more incredible content, but I know it was not without its adversity in the rnm Fandom. The rnm community had gone through phases, but a lot of it had been negative and toxic; not really conducive to growth.

Those who stuck around, stayed until they felt they had nothing else left to give, lost interest, or no longer received a passing glance at their works. As much as I hate to admit it, when people don't receive feedback, interaction, or recognition for the work they put into their fan art and writing and so forth, it is discouraging and disheartening; this can happen to any Fandom. I mean, who doesn't like to be told how great your work is? In bigger Fandoms, it's easier to get feedback and that in itself is a draw.

And well, people's interests change. That's OK. People have the right to choose where they invest their time and effort. I think that's why Tumblr is such an interesting place because you can like multiple genres and Fandoms. Considering the platform that is Tumblr, and the age demographic that it is targeted for, it isn't hard to see why interests change with the frequency that they do.

All I know is that this isn't a sudden disinterest in rnm, but the work of time and factors that are out of our control. This year has kicked everyone's butts and it's understandable if some don't feel like it or have the time to create; it took me half a year to even think of writing again because I was going through the motions. Perhaps new life might be breathed back into the rnm Fandom with the following seasons, but for now this is all I can say.

[rixxy8173571m3w1p3]

More Rnm userboxes cause I got too much time on my hands

[rixxy8173571m3w1p3]

🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 🐶 😍

[rixxy8173571m3w1p3]

How about 'this user wants you to kiss the vat'?

[rixxy8173571m3w1p3]

Maybe relaxing to snake 🐍 jazz 🎺 and chilling with a space grandpa is a vibe

[rixxy8173571m3w1p3]

The only good things I can think about from rnm season 4 ep7

Jerry beekeeping

Summer is a queen

That little bear bottle that says Jerry's honey

The fact that Rick didn't want Beth to see morty die

Alzheimers comercial

Jerry in his beekeeping suit

The cool armor anime sequence thing

Other then that, I want to erase the whole main plot cause it's gross even if it was just aliens cause they are technically related as well and just nope. A big fat nope

[rixxy8173571m3w1p3]

Can you do more cat rick fics or other rick fics I really miss them

I am still editing a cat Rick x reader WIP and I am not sure if you're the same anon that asked for more cat Rick fics, but I appreciate the ask. I think I had set many rnm wips on the back burner because I saw a lack of interest but I will finish that fic. And I hope you will enjoy it :3 until then, I hope you will be patient with me.

[rixxy8173571m3w1p3]

Seeing Jessica in the season 5 teaser made me want to draw her. Now, if it looks like she look a little different, it's cause I gave her a cute mole and freckles as well as green eyes. :3 I Iike the idea of how she'd look in the sun, with sun-kissed skin and rich eyes. Can't wait to see how season 5 goes.
