the ending of fear no mort might actually singlehandedly be the most character growth we ever see in rick than anywhere else in the entire series. the worn photo of morty in rick's wallet that he clearly keeps on him at all times and the fact that he just so simply disproves morty's fear that rick doesn't give a shit about him with that little photo alone, the fact that he didn't jump in the hole despite knowing morty saw diane in there, finally choosing to stop chasing the past and just let himself be in the present with the people he still has in his life. somebody hold me i am so insane i've been overanalyzing this all morning

intro post

Btw I figured out why I've been feeling so shitty lately mentally, well, aside from the fact that a loved one is doing shitty and work is overwhelming. But like, that is the base setting as a neurodivergent person in a dysfunctional family, so I was surprised I was doing exceptionally bad... And suprise: it is because I probably have fucking pneumonia. I got most of the symptoms. Coughing, fever (I've been in and out of it in the past 3 weeks but assumed it's just because of my meds being changed recently, since sudden changes in temperature are often one of the symptoms of the body getting used to it), throat and chest pain (I assumed it was because of my terrible posture), low energy, confusion and changes in mental awarness (that's what I thought another burn out induced depressive episode was)... Yeah. It all checks out.
