If I had a nickel for every time Rick programmed a robot who was thoughtful and could love morty in the "healthy way " , only for morty to find out it's actually a robot and get pissed but still feel a connection to said robot, so he tries everything to save that robot from dying, because it was the only kind and loving adult role model he has ever had , only for the robot to still die and the episode to end with rick traumatizing morty, I would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened TWICE

it's already in you morty

last 15 seconds of a ricker runs through it

once you recognise the ubiquitous and inevitable fandom life cycle it becomes much easier to free yourself from it and just keep enjoying things in a more healthy way while still thinking critically about them

Morty's worried little face when Rick starts walking forward 😭

I want to do EVERYTHING but I don’t have the TIME or MONEY or MOTIVATION

like, i think the most obvious one is slapping/hitting. in real life, there is basically no situation where that is acceptable, unless you're actively defending yourself/someone else. but fiction is inherently larger than life, its about how it feels, subjectively, over what actually happens, literally. sometimes a character who has never before been violent will hit someone, and it's intended as like, an indicator of how fucked up everything is. that shit is going down. or, a character will trash a room, throwing things and destroying everything in their path. and then its never mentioned again, everything just continues as if they HADNT destroyed their own and other people's property in a frankly terrifying display, because it was just a cathartic moment to represent the storm of emotions the person was feeling. and when i see people like 'this character is an abuser, the story needs to address this,' i think maybe its actually okay for fictional characters to do shitty things and not have it framed as shitty, by the story itself or even on any sort of meta level, with the intended audience reaction. sometimes the point is just to resonate with your emotions, not to dissect the literal sequence of events.
