#ricktional mortpoon’s rickmas mortcation

It’s so cute that Home Beth is wearing pink pyjamas but has a blue mug to match Space Beth’s blue streak while Space Beth has a pink mug to match Home Beth’s pyjamas.

The blue mug could also match Jerry’s Christmas jumper, which is a cool way of showing Home Beth’s commitment to both of them, whereas Space Beth is only really interested in Home Beth.

I love Rick's pride in being autistic. No angst about it. If Morty's on the spectrum, Rick's probably proud of him, too.

lukewarm takes with conanssummerchild time ‼️

in solaricks when rick goes back to dimension C-137 he seems just about ready to start at least trying to move on from hunting prime, he admits that he can't find him and even goes on to tell "diane" about their grandkids

yet this is him less than a season later

so, what changed?

well, this, obviously:

not to mention how traumatic that episode must've been for rick in general, having to revisit his past like that, the diane ghost ai. well, rick makes it pretty clear he's not exactly thrilled to be alive

so think it's pretty safe to assume that this was the first step to the rick prime relapse, especially since we know he went back and managed to snag a killbot

one could also argue that rick wasn't ever really over it, so it took very little to push him back, and while i don't think he was over it either, he did seem to start to want to be, morty saying this:

was all it took for him to step away from the base, though it's likely he returned in another moment, but still, that could've been later on

okay, anyway, into the actual point of this post, i think rick took small steps into falling back into finding prime, because even when he seemed to want to be bettering himself things kept going wrong, so eventually he decided, what was the point?

this is how i see it:

obviously preceding solaricks we have rickternal friendshine of the spotless mort, which i'm not gonna go into too much detail on rn despite it being one of my fav lore episodes bcs i wanna look at post-solaricks (but for pre-solaricks rickmurai jack is also worth mentioning due to him having to revisit his backstory with the citadel which is very closely linked to his time looking for prime/killing ricks) but go ahead and check out this post by dirty-bear-rick-sanchez for the best explanation i've seen on it and its effect on rick

anyway, so just 2 episodes after solaricks we have bethic twinstinct, and i've gone into this in a past post how this might have taken him back to his past so i'm just gonna copy paste it from my other post (summarised) bcs im lazy:

a lot of ppl theorise rick and prime knew eachother before he offered him the portal gun so if thats true what if beth and space beth reminded him of them and how he was (hypothetically) cheating on diane and then lost her forever at the hands of the man he was having an affair with and also lost his beth

which is why rick said "remember, its not just your ice cream you're forgetting, it's your family's" or smth. because he forgot his familys ice cream too much, and all that happened

also look at all the similarities between prime and SB's outfits

then 5 episodes after that we have analyse piss, where we see that rick relates to pissmaster, sympathises with him

i will never not reccomend this fic by abed-with-a-knife about how rick was taken back to his own struggles with suicide and such, but it's not only that, so many features of pissmaster's experience are things rick can relate to, his rocky relationship with his daughter, everyone hating him, i think in general it's pretty clear that this episode was made to link rick and pissmaster

anyway, the next episode after analyse piss is immediately a rick in king mortur's mort, and this is quite clearly rick's breaking point, obviously we know this is when he replaces himself with rickbot, following this scene:

rick tells morty not to take the sword and morty doesn't listen

morty says rick's boring and calls him a "drunk cranky fuck" which does seem to bother rick

despite him shitting on a similar insult in the previous episode

in ricktional mortpoons rickmas mortcation, the following episode, he says the reason he replaced himself was because of this, because he feels like morty doesn't respect him any more, and that:

so first the show wears away at his friendships and his past trauma and self hatred with rfotsm, rickmurai jack goes even further into his past, his relation with the citadel, his "crybaby backstory", etc.

then solaricks forces him to confront his past, specifically his relationship with diane and accept his future and his new family, while giving him a small clue to prime.

then bethic twinstinct, provided he and prime really did know eachother previously (which im a little on the fence on if i'm honest), reminds him of his guilt for diane and little beth dying and how he feels responsible for it by mirroring the situation with older beth and the "edgier" version of herself. after that, analyse piss continues to dig into his current relationship with a beth that isn't his own, and takes a shot at his suicidal tendancies and how he feels like "god hates him" or the universe is against him or whatever.

and lastly akikmm takes all of that that rick is already carrying on his shoulders and adds morty not respecting him or caring about him to it, and it clearly cause rick to finally snap. if all of this was building and the only thing keeping rick afloat was his codependant relationship with morty (as seen in solaricks when morty gets him to not go after prime just by showing his care) then morty (by no fault of his own) seeming to dismiss rick must make him think "what's the point anymore?" if no one cares about him, then he might as well complete his life-long revenge plot, even if it destroys him again

because no one cares about him, right? (dramatic old fuck, get him psycological help)

anyway it's almost 2am so my thoughts aren't as coherent as i would like and i'm too lazy to read over this post and check if everything is right and good

most of what i've said in this post is probably pretty obvious, i just wanted to lay it out neatly with images and everything (im so classy ik /j) it accidentally came out a LOT longer than i intended. what can i say i just love yapping on about rnm

RickBot's death in 6.10

[star1986]

rick and morty singing "i'll be home with bells on" in the style of sherry and jeff easter

https://singify.fineshare.com/covers/conversion/rick-E9aPH

i got a rick sanchez AI to sing "with bells on", and it turns out whenever a female voice is heard it sings in a higher pitch in the voice of morty so, i thought it would be cool to post this as a rickmas gift to all as a very morty rickmas and a schwifty new year. the site i used is called singify, and they let users sign up for a freemium account, and users are allowed to create 1 song for free using their AI modles [they have several].

ROUND 1 RECOUNT w/ ricktional mortpoon's rickmas mortcation & the vat of acid episode✨🧪

[ladyofdecember]

I saw someone say that this season doesn't have much in the way of Rick and Morty relationship wise but I dunno. This past episode or so Rick has really seemed to blossom and be better and wiser and more emotionally open. But then?? We find out this Rick has been a robot the whole time? 🤔😮

[ladyofdecember]

That's the thing isn't it?

Rick Bot really loves Morty and Morty loved Rick Bot. But he actually thought that was Rick the whole time so now that he knows he's pissed and so done with it.

But it's like Rick Bot said, he was built to make him happy so everything he does and says is what Rick would do and say were he healthy. 🤔

“hey, that job was to be a good grandpa. i go where the kid goes.”

“don’t touch me!”

:((

i’m going to be thinking about that first line for weeks… rick bot is the only person who’s ever followed morty. he’s the only person who’s stuck by his side for the sole purpose of making sure he was safe…

and morty’s finding out that it wasn’t even real.

but… rick bot does care. it’s in his nature, isn’t it? he was built for it. he knows his purpose.

Cringetober Day 1: Heterochromia

It counts if there's no color in one eye and the other one is cybernetic, right? Anyway, generally when I make fan art I'll color pick from a still, but Rick's skin always looks off when I do that. I think I tend to imagine him with a slight case of jaundice.
