#this Rick and Diane has a healthy relationship but the religious trauma does have its effect on their relationship

Fun part about a character having almost no canon stuff, or canonically having different selves across the multiverse, or even both, is just,, getting to say whatever tf you want about them

Anyways, there’s definitely a Diane out there with religious trauma from being raised in a cult-like environment (not even a cool one, she bemoans, a weird fucking one where they were convinced all pharmacists were witches and painkillers were their way of allowing demons to enter our bodies 🙄) who has. no fucking idea how to respond when Rick starts calling himself “god” (no early dying for her, she lives long enough to see his science really take off)

Her Rick stops saying the god stuff around her pretty quickly out of respect for her, but she still has that nagging anxiety that her religious trauma influenced the type of guy she chose
