Hi!!

and then i'll be nothing forever

- Diane is in black and white while Rick is colored

- Diane's string is jumbled and hard to make out(?) while Rick's is easy to see

- Diane is closing her eyes(?) And no looking at anyone while Rick is only looking at Diane

- Rick is reaching out to Diane while she has her hands behind her back

- Diane's face is covered partially but I still struggle to see her face. Might be a me problem tho.

​Hear me out: Morty has god-like psychic abilities, but he literally just wants to be a normal teenager. He keeps it a complete secret. He even made Jerry and Beth promise to never, ever tell Rick about it when Rick moved back in.

​And the funniest part? Rick has absolutely no idea. Rick walks around acting like he’s the god of the universe because of his science, while Morty is sitting right next to him sweating bullets, trying not to accidentally blow up a planet with his mind because he got a C- on a math test.

​"But how would Rick not notice during adventures?"

Think about the Purge episode! In this au, Morty goes crazy, but he’s wearing that high-tech suit. Rick probably just thought, "Wow, the kid is really using the suit's weapons to absolute perfection," while Morty was actually just using his mind to tear everyone apart because the suit couldn't keep up with his rage. Every time they survive something impossible, Rick takes credit for his tech, and Morty is just like "Yeah... sure... your tech saved us, Rick..."

​ALSO, think about Jerry.

Jerry knows about the powers, and you know he would use his own son's god-like abilities for the most pathetic, lazy things ever.

Jerry would definitely come into Morty’s room like: "Hey, uh, Morty... I know you’re trying to suppress your world-ending powers, but can you use your mind to change the TV channel? The remote is all the way over there and my back hurts." Or he makes Morty float the lawnmower so Jerry doesn't have to push it.

​Imagine Morty constantly holding back his power, suppressing his emotions, just to survive high school, Rick's chaotic BS, and his dad asking him to psychically open a tight jar of mayonnaise.

​Rick: "I'm the smartest man in the universe, Morty! I can do anything!"

"Aw jeez... I slipped."

Headcanon:

The reason Morty doesn't have any hobbies including sports is because they always end in catastrophe. Except track.

This is because he has trouble controlling his powers when directing them outwards(specifically, towards external solid objects), however he, for some reason, has no trouble controlling them when the power is directed inwards.

He suspects he has more control over keeping his powers in then letting them out because he's always keeping them in, therefore, when he directs it outward, his powers burst(like a balloon).

So now he primarily has indoor hobbies such as gardening and pottery. And also maybe track. Idk.

(Click for better quality. But I can't guarantee that the art will be better.)

Morty realized who the parasites were, because they were only ever nice to him. Every memory he had with them was good which he knew couldn’t be true. No one was ever that nice to him even his family.

Jkjk

In all seriousness, I think Morty isn't going to. He cares too much about his family and worries too often about Rick. While I think he does in fact deserve his own 2 crows arc, I don't think it would be in character for him at all.

If he does have his 2 crows arc for real, I think he'd still be trying to save the multi verse lmao. Like, trying to fix Rick's mistakes(in S5E9), or saving the CFC like how Em and Rick C137 did during S9E1.

Can we talk about how Morty is way more aggressive to Evil Morty than Rick is?

​Rick is usually calm or just annoyed. But Morty is always furious. This proves Morty isn't just scared of Rick replacing him. He is scared of Evil Morty because he sees himself in him. It’s not jealousy—it’s fear of his own reflection.

I feel like, Evil Morty is like a mirror to our Morty. They are not as different as we think.

And

He literally figures E.M out faster than Rick aswell..He didn't need to be a genius at all to do that.

Prime examples:

Eye patch Morty detaching himself from all emotions

Detox Morty being more confident, and somehow being able to climb the social ladder REALLY fast.

The vindicators episode

“I’ll disarm the drunkenly improvised neutrino bomb. There’s a 40% chance that it’s a dud, but you should still stay back.

“Morty, how many of these?”

“Too many, Rick, too many!”

There’s been a lot of bombs that he’s disarmed because of Rick. If it was a 40% chance of being a dud, then what did he do when the rest of the 60% blew up? Morty does that math very quickly. He also shows that he knows how to deal with them when they do go off. Rick said that it could take out a whole planet. That sets up a whole new set of questions.

Poll directed towards abuse survivors of tumblr

(not armchair psychologists, nor "my-brother-had-an-ex-who-turned-him-down to-return-to-her-physically-abusive-ex" tumblers)

I am not talking about whether or not the victim-returns-to-the-abuser generally happens (therefore "the episode is okay because it showed something that happens") nor even if it's the sort of thing Eyepatch Morty, specifically, would do (because he could have, in theory, gone through some off-screen loneliness crisis).

I am asking if you think the episode handled this serious topic well. If it was accurate. If you think people will understand the phase where you returned (if that happened) better after watching it. If you felt seen. If you thought "yes, the writers did a good job on this"?

Me personally, I answered no. While I did in fact return to my abuser first without my abuser doing anything(as in trying to seek attention), this episode did not resonate with me whatsoever. Why? Because it was used in a way that made the victim(in this case, Eye patch Morty), seen as a "villain" for returning to his abuser. Like. Full on villain. They even fought him and everything. They made him seem like the bad guy for wanting to return to his abuser.

If they had maybe used it properly (like show Em's POV on all this), it would have been 100 times better!! Like, good representation of how a victim wants to return to the abuser! Show the process! Show what he thought during the whole ordeal!!

Instead, we got him just(seemingly out of nowhere), threaten Rick without any show of why he would so.
