gen z is trying 2 cancel incest ?

How about, Body swap? Like, if you reach in a certain age, you swap boddies with your soulmate.

Scientist cant explain it, nobody even knows if the person youre swapping with is your soulmate, all they know is that, this has been going on for a very long time, were it ultimately yields the same result; two people swapping boddies will ultimatley fall in love and get married, thus calling this phenomena as "soulmate swapping" I mean it makes sense right? An unknown force would lead you to a stranger that woukd ultimately lead you to falling in love, so romantic right?

Soon, business took the oppotunity to sell lucky charms, pills to "heighten your magnetization" to reach your soulmate, sculptures of Gods that would lead you to your one and only, Hell! They sell dogs that could sniff your soulmate.

All of this products exist just to meet your meant to be! But what if your soulmate isnt what you thought it was?What if it wasnt your crush? What if it wasnt someone who seats the same class as you? Or walks in the same hallway as you? What if it was some alcoholic, drug addict mf who held the same eyes as you...what if this cosmic force is wrong...a mistake

...It happend on Morty's 19 birthday, he had high expectations, last birthday nothing really happend and he was scared that hes losing time, most kids got their soulmate at 17, like his parents did, but Rick told him to relax since he hasnt even gotten his yet...and that scares him...cause what if he ends up like Rick? Like, what if he becomes this crude, nihilistic, abusive person, who pushes people away? All because the world had decided he was unlovable...

He doesnt want that, he fears for an ending like Rick.

But when the clock hits midnight and nothing changes, all he could do is shift and turn on his bed, tries to wipe the moisture on his face, all while pretending there isnt a heavy stone on his heart...

...the next morning, he woke up in a familiar room–not his!–but to a room he rarely goes into but nonetheless recognize...

...he tried to move and yet he remained motionless, he tried to speak and yet he remained silent. Theres a part of him that just wanted to lay back down and think of this as just one big nightmare, but before he could do that, he hears footsteps coming onto the room and he flinched when the door swung open...he sees his own face and he has never felt so much dread at seeing at his own confused relflection before until now

...sorry for the long prompt, I tend to get carried away, hehehe :3

If you think the prompt was long, dear anon, I have some fantastic news for you!

Here I even typed up stuff for it

And honorable mention to JRat, she helped come up with the name n stuff and even made some art for the AU

Not only is it hinted at and suggested pretty blatantly in the show constantly, which Could be brushed off as showing how unhealthily close their dependence is and also jokes

but also the creators constantly talk about incest and there have been tweets literally saying its canon in some multiverses.

meta: the whole show is based around their emotional incest, they are "meta" married because their names are connected by an "and" and every third episode is about their relationship with each other as a couple. That's the meta. But every almost single buddy comedy is also about a meta marriage, meta marriages are not a new concept.

But if they suck faces on screen it has to be aliens with their voices and their bodies sucking face, and it has to be a joke and the punchline has to be incest shippers. Rick can be quite obviously interested in kissing Morty when he's drunk, and morty can canonically have a crush on Rick.

But if our Morty and our Rick actually kissed in character, it would break the rules the show started with, because relationships can never "really" change in a serialized story. Canon can grow and grow and fix itself and update, but the relationships between characters always have to rebound back to the original state.

One of the premises of the story was that it "makes fun of the incesty vibes" of back to the future, only now Rick and Morty's own canon is more culturally relevant than back to the future. So now the premise of the story is that it has to make fun of incesty vibes of itself. And that's why incest keeps popping up in other characters storylines, like a great big incest snake sucking its own tail, because the incest is a reference to the incest.

And that is why codependence itself is becoming the big theme of the story for the past few seasons, because from a meta perspective codependency is the perfect metaphor for the fact that writers are stuck writing characters who aren't allowed to grow. That's what 100 years of Rick and Morty is, it's metaphorically incest hell, an incest snake sucking itself forever.

Yes, its totally canon, because Rick breaks the 4rth wall and everything meta is canon, but incest always has to be a reference something else. Rick and Morty don't go on dates, they go on Adventures. But going on adventures with someone else is cheating. Rickorty is a crack ship. But the show wouldn't exist without the incest joke so its going to punch down at incest fans for daring to take the joke seriously (which might make it unfunny.) But they are also going to take it seriously because the show runs on Bathos, which is related to pathos, but its about the feeling of jump cutting from silly to serious and back again. Done well, it makes the experience of watching the show feel more meaningful than watching a bunch of silly/gross gags would be alone.

In some ways being a rickorty shipper is like being in a relationship with a gaslighter who feeds you cookies and then punches you in the face and laughs at you for licking up the crumbs.

Personally, I'm fine with this arrangement because they need us, they need rickorty taken seriously to give their silly show a soul
