#rick and morty fan theories

[misslisamiray]

Something I've been thinking about that I never see brought up: We all know Morty saw Rick's whole crybaby backstory in the S5 finale... but Jerry has seen as much, if not more, of Rick's memory. Of what he's seen, how much does he remember?

The two have been merged in some way twice now, first in S3 ep 5, "The Whirly-Dirly Conspiracy", and more recently in S7 ep 2, "The Jerrick Trap". There have to be some lingering effects from that, right?

More below the cut, and I warn you, this gets LONG.

Maybe Jerry wouldn't necessarily remember anything from that first encounter where his consciousness, Rick's, and that of the large alien trying to kill them were all intertwined - the "I just spent an eternity merged with your essence and I'm already back to thinking you're an asshole" line implies the effects of said merging wear off quickly. So, any memories/knowledge gained then might also fade away fast. But even if he forgot almost instantly, Jerry has to have seen Rick's past (a full two seasons before Morty did!)

Now... The Jerrick Trap is where this gets interesting. Rick and Jerry spent days - maybe weeks - with their minds shuffled as Burger and Fries. Followed by at least a full day as Jerricky. While it's questionable, even unlikely, the events in Whirly-Dirly had lasting effects, there is no way, after all that, these two don't know EVERYTHING about each other.

Of course, there's, I'd say, a 50/50 chance Rick erased Jerry's memories of the entire incident, specifically because of that. He let Morty see the crybaby backstory, and Summer & the Beths have at least some vague knowledge of Prime. But I can see him drawing the line at Jerry just... being able to see all those memories as clearly as Rick himself can.

Which brings us to: Memory Rick! (and something else I never see brought up). Even if Jerry doesn't share Rick's memories for any other reason, would he automatically have them through Memory Rick being marooned in his brain? I'm thinking yes, but since Memory Rick is sentient, he *might* be able to block Jerry from accessing them.

Anyway, if Jerry has retained any of Rick's memories, I really hope the show addresses it at some point. It's actually one of my most-hoped-for-in-the-remaining-seasons things.

In the meantime, I'd love to hear others' thoughts on this. I am sorry this post got so long, and if you are seeing this, thank you for reading my essay. 😅

so do you all think evil morty specifically chose to have his signature creation be an eyepatch just because rick is scared of pirates ?

[rustychainsnorter]

What if the zombie hand in the new season 7 opening scene was actually apocalypse Jerry???

Look at the similarities in the terrain.

It would also explain why Morty looks so horrified while Rick is totally excited. Imagine having another Jerry be part of the family. I mean, why not! We already have two Beths! Plus, reviving apocalypse Jerry could result in critical information about Rick Prime's whereabouts.

if the theory that rick had sort of romantic/close relationship with prime then this scene is even more fucking devestating

Curve Theory

Would you believe me if I told you that Rick Sanchez isn't only the antagonist of his own series, but many more too?

The Central Finite Curve Connected Multiverse (or even Omniverse,) it's not just Rick and Morty living it up here! In my world Easter Eggs aren't just fun things to find in the background, but are actually treasures hiding a larger narrative.

References, Easter Eggs, Crossovers and Cameos, plus some storytelling to fill the holes, and you get a beautifully well pieced together puzzle.

Theories coming soon!

[misslisamiray]

I hadn't thought of that, and just took his "It's a one-person ride" at face value. I do wonder if maybe he tried to follow Morty and the Hole like... threw him back out because only one person can go in at a time?

Because how *did* Rick know that, when it's not explicitly stated in the "How to Hole" video? The Hole isn't that big, and sure it'd be a tight squeeze, but as skinny as both he and Morty are, the two of them could definitely fit at the same time.

And yes, we all know Rick was oblivious to The Horrors. To him, the worst it might have seemed was happening was Morty having a nightmare.

In short (and yes, I realize it's way too late for that, but please know I could go on for a few more paragraphs): I'm not sure I 100% agree with OP's theory, but I love it.

I'm a softie but I totally assumed Rick didn't go into the hole cause he knew he couldn't protect morty from inside. He's just stood there like "come on already" but would NEVER EVER admit that

Time for a random headcanon thing!

At this point, it's widely accepted/practically canon that Diane was the breadwinner & Rick was the stay at home parent. So he would have spent the most time with Beth.

Another widely agreed upon thing (though maybe less so than the first one) is that Rick, without all his cybernetics, is/would be kinda weak & wimpy, yes? There was a popular post about this a few months back, but sadly the account it was from deactivated, so I can't link it. 😔

Little kids bring home lots of germs from school. This is a fact even non-parents like myself are aware of. If you have friends with kids, you've definitely heard at least one of them say they thought they had a great immune system, then their kids started school. If you are a parent, perhaps you've said it. I'm assuming this is all the same in the RnM world, so.....

Put all these thoughts together and you get: Young Rick was definitely that one unfortunate parent who caught EVERY bug that went around little Beth's classroom. Even when Beth herself didn't.

Is this an important theory? Nope, not at all. But it made me go "awww", and I am sure that I'm right, so I figured I'd share.

[courtingevil]

For a while now, my headcanon has been that Rick hasn't been drooling as much because he hasn't been drinking as much. I know the studio said this is for practical production reasons, but I really think he's been drinking less.

I've noticed that Rick's been drinking from beer cans instead of his flask recently. Does that mean something? He's still drinking, so it seems insignificant, but it's a weird change. Maybe it means he's (at least) not carrying around alcohol at all times?

Like if you don't care about your plot or characters and view them as nothing more than a vessel for spectacle and comedy, then you can't be upset when the people that do care get upset about it.

Beth and Jerry relationship theory

!DISCLAIMER; THIS IS NOT CONFIRMED, IT IS SIMPLY A THEORY!

(This is a liiittle long I'm sorry-)

Hello my fellow fellas ladies and my enby babes! Today I have a theory on- Ah fuck it, you read the title, let's do this.

Season 2 episode 7 of Rick and Morty; Big Trouble in Little Sanchez. If you haven't seen the episode, please do watch it to know what I'm explaining.

In the beginning of this episode we saw Jerry and Beth get dropped off by Rick to marriage counseling for being across the universe (most likely, anyway) while he goes off and transfers his mind to the body of a teenager. The usual, normal stuff at this point.

I want to talk about the first mythologs we see of Beth and Jerry. We saw that Jerry had imagined Beth as some horrifying giant Xenomorph, and Beth imagined Jerry as a meek and cowardly worm. The fact that they were codependent later in the episode terrified the counselor, because that is not supposed to happen. Remember what the counselor said earlier; "We are not the monsters we see each other as." I can see why he was horrified they were codependent, because that means in reality, yes, something fucked up is going on in their marriage. He had also said; "Your marriage shouldn't even exist!", because it was that bad.

I want you to take a good minute and think about what certain types of marriages shouldn't exist.

...

Yeah, we're all thinking it. What the fuck goes on when we're not viewing the show? What goes on behind the screen?

[courtingevil]

I'd love to read more about what other people think about The Citadel. The more I think about it - how it came to be, how it operates - it gets weirder and weirder.

I like that we have to accept the weird conceit of the existence of The Citadel and that the Infinite Rick is capable of assuming so many different roles but at the same time it's just so much fun to consider the why and how.

A few questions I have about The Citadel:

If Rick is the smartest person, why does he choose to build things himself on The Citadel (S3E7 - The Ricklantus Mixup) where we clearly see him able to utilize his advanced knowledge to develop automatic building tools (robots) like when he raised a society with/on Gaia (S4E9 - Childrick of Mort)? I could expand on this point a lot...

Why don't we see any not-Ricks / not-Mortys on The Citadel? Rick has proven that he can utilize Beth and Summer's skills (S5E7 - Gotron Jerrysis Rickvangelion and more), so why aren't there any of them on The Citadel? I can think of other professions that the Infinite Rick might like to have on The Citadel (in the comics, there's a Rick Resort with all indulgences he could possibly want - wouldn't there be a place like that on The Citadel?)

How did The Citadel recover from being transported directly into a Galactic Federation prison? (S3E1 - The Rickshank Rickdemption)

How are utilities produced and delivered on The Citadel? We clearly see a farmer growing mega fruit (S3E7 - The Ricklantus Mixup), and he's committed to the roll damnit, but do we have other farmers on The Citadel or is that an automated task? Which tasks even get relegated to automation?

I'm sure I could go on if I thought about it long enough. I'd love to read other people's takes on all the weirdisms that would crop up on The Citadel and how it would function (if only barely)

Citadel, Citadel, Citadel.

I have lots of questions about the Citadel.

First of all, what happens to the Ricks and Mortys’ families after they move to the Citadel? I mean, Ricks have a lot, A LOT of enemies in the universe. If he’s not there, who would protect the rest of the family? And wouldn’t they miss their family? If not Rick, wouldn’t Morty miss their family?

I think they would probably visit them time to time and probably made some device to keep their family safe, but what made Ricks decide they should move to the Citadel?

What even is the Citadel’s purpose? We got hints that Prime had something to do with Citadel, most likely one of the first Ricks that made the Citadel. But… how? Why? Why make a community, why choose to live in a community with someone they hate the most, aka themselves? What got them to think Citadel was the best choice?

It might be because they think they are the only ones who can understand themselves, but… still. Citadel is… weird. More like creepy, if you think about it.

I’ll make another post more organized about the Citadel in the future. Also, sorry for the delay, I’ m still busy with my Major. I’ll try to make at least one or two posts a week.

Thank you!

Season 7 is here, Gadies and Lentlemen!

I enjoyed the first ep, though it’s a very casual start. I was just wondering whether anyone‘s noticed this detail, too; when Hugh Jackman offers them the ✨ tic tacs ✨ everyone‘s shown grabbing some except for Rick? I mean, afterwards he’s clearly high too so maybe they just didn’t show it? Or it’s something he takes more often and keeps on his person. I also noticed that everyone had the same green stain on their face that Rick often has. Maybe there’s a connection. Maybe I’m stupid. Either way, what do you think?

[rustychainsnorter]

What do you think would happen if Prime Rick and Morty interact in season seven?

Oi! You asked the one question I've been pondering since the day of my freakin birth, lol.

I think it all depends on Prime's intentions and the given circumstances. If Morty met Prime face to face, I think it would be during a moment where he and C-137 Rick are temporarily separated. Morty would probably be intimidated, torn and frightened, holding onto the desire to avenge his grandpa but hesitating because this is his 'real' Rick.

Prime might be able to crack a conversation with Morty that opens his mind a bit. Perhaps Prime isn't as bad as he thought? In fact, he seems pretty cool. Or maybe Morty empathizes with him in some way and decides that he wants to know more about him before they try to kill him.

By the time C-137 Rick comes back, Prime is gone and Morty's mind has been changed. I think Rick would be angry that Morty let him escape; he won't give him a chance to speak, he degrades him and complains. Morty just wants him to listen to what he has to say but he won't. Rick keeps being mean, and he's overly obsessed with finding Prime. This attitude might alter Morty's feelings towards him, and he may try to find Prime by himself later on.

Whether Rick Prime is a manipulative bad guy and wants to use Morty for bait, or whether he's a somewhat good guy who has no idea what's going on, I have no idea :)

I have so many thoughts and theories about this, I could talk all day. But thank you for the ask, thesoftboiledegg, it was fun!

NAKSHATRA SERIES: OBSERVATION FROM DIFFERENT NAKSHATRAS

SHRAVANA

The symbolism for this nakshatra is the ear, No wonder they LOVE to gossip. Also if you want a music recommendation just ask a Shravana/Dhanista natives. They have great music taste.

Major placement in Shravana nakshatra (especially the big 3) have distant relationship from one/both of their parents.

This nakshatra(including Dhanistha) have major RBF

The most shallow thing about this nakshatra is about their reputation. Sometimes they don't care but i often found this nakshatra to be obsessed about how others perceive them (not in a people pleasing way but how it benefits them)

Besides Ketu vimshottari nakshatras, Shravana is often found too in lead singers (One of the members in Air Supply, Lead singer of band Styx). Saturn in general creates timeless songs that often play even if singers already die.

The Coca-Cola have connection with this nakshatra. Someone from Twitter mentioned about the C*caine and correlation to this nakshatra.

Most likely to be addicted to substance besides Ketu ruled (extends to other Moon vimshottari ruled nakshatras)

DHANISTA

Dhanista women seek roles that have leadership position

It's pretty ironic how Dhanista's yoni is lion evem though their rashi (Capricorn to early degrees of Aquarius) isn't comfortable on Sun

Dhanista is one of the rarest type to be born. (Most people that i know are born in August, I've only met 3 Dhanista in my life, so this observations mainly come from celebrities)

Dhanista women are really into fashion (Heart Evangelista, Paris Hilton). They usually have squad like friends.

Someone said on Twitter that Fame is a karmic thing and i agree. Sidereal saturn rashi (especially Dhanista) deals with the good, bad and ugly sides of fame. They often deals with people only want the idea of them, not them.

KRS said that they have displays/ have instruments in their home. Please confirm if you have Dhanista placements.

SHATABHISHA

It's common for this nakshatra to be related to science. Arda and Swati do this too but not in a way Shatabhisha often does (Rick and Morty, Breaking Bad)

The common thing about this nakshatra is pointing out racism to others. Someone did a meme of comparing Shrek to Get Out and the main characters of this is Shatabhisha. Niko from NDL/Beta Squad do this too in his most popular video

They have cult fans too besides Jyestha (Justin Bieber, Chapell Ronan, Rihanna, Olivia Rodrigo)

Unevolved trait of this nakshatra is hypocrisy in a way that they love to impose rules just to get benefits from it but if someone impose rules on them, they don't follow it.

Shatabhisha is often have a weird connection to rumors. They love rumors (biggest gossiper)and they often have rumors that are more likely conspiracy theories related to them.
