This episode reminded me of elements from many other episodes, but THAT WAS STILL SO FRESH OMGGGGFF!!!!!!
FIRST OF ALL RICK (both of them) was SO CUTE GAHHH!!! The animation on display here was just so good and I immediately lost it when his body gained sentience and IMMEDIATELY WAS SO ADORABLE I WANT TO PROTECT HIM SOOO BADDD 😭🥹🥺🥹 THE ANIMATION IN THIS EPISODE HAS SO MUCH PERSONALITY AAAHHHH!!!!!!!!<33333
It all got me to quickly find myself siding a little more with the body over the head (like Summer), and o h m y G O D Don’t even get me STARTED on that sentimental moment they shared!!! aaaagAAGAGHH FUCKKK WE ARE ALL GONNA TALK ABOUT THAT FOREVER, LIKE I JUST KNOW I FELT THE ENTIRE R&M FANDOM QUAKE AT THE SAME TIME AS OUR HEARTS EXPLODED. even JUST at the hUGGING! BUT THAT WAS.OH MY GOODDD!!
(Rick getting to be with Morty and Summer at the same time was SUCH a clever plot idea LOL, we actually got a familial bonding two-for-one special today!!! I MISSED SUMMER EVEN MORE THAN I MISSED MORTY I LOVE HER!!!!) ((ALSO I’M SO GLAD WE DIDN’T SEE A CURSED RICK-HEADED MORTY I WAS ABOUT TO THROW UP I’M SO RELIEVED HOLY FUCK))
I feel bad for Rick’s head, though. My body would also rebel against me the first chance it got, lol. I’m also such an other-thinker like him but it’s not really his fault. I also felt a lot of Rick’s neurodivergent traits, absolutely unfiltered, when he became ‘freed’ from his body. I would probably go through the same types of feelings myself and that hurts… it hurts that I felt like he was annoying. I love this layer of tragedy the R&M team uncovered. Because it’s also uncovering some feelings from inside me, and now I also get to work on them haha… It’s kind of exciting. I didn’t think this type of story could happen, somehow…!
Despite the parallels to Rest and Ricklaxation, Pickle Rick, and even Big Trouble in Little Sanchez, (not to mention the elements of many other episodes where Rick is in deep conflict with himself), I was still totally blown away by this one. I LOVE IT… Instant classic for me!!!!!!!!!
HE BECAME A LITTLE SHRIMP WITH A COLLAR ON HE’S LIKE A TINY BUG-DOG AHHH I’M SO NORMAL ABOUT IT…UHHHHHHHAHHHH
I’ve so got to draw him eating computer chips like a bag of potato chips now LMAO HOW DOES THAT WORK IT ALMOST PISSES ME OFF DHJSKJD. did you see that he also has a weird fucking chameleon-ass long-ass tongue?… artists, you know what to draw now! 😙😛
also oh MY GOD THAT ENDING? YAAYYYY EAT MOTHERFUCKER EAT he should be allowed to all-you-can-eat still and forever 🫶 (maybe drink less?🥺since it leads to stuff like severing his head and etc…. but honestly he should eat and enjoy himself more often, like it’s all harmless with his amount of cybernetics! 😫💗) I MEAN JUST LOOK AT THAT BEEG PRETZEL!!!AWWWW
wait. RICK HAS A MECHANIC SPECIALIZING WITH HIS STOMACH MODS… what the hell has Rick’s stomach mechanic seen? 🤨🧐🤔 and done👀? HOW MUCH DID RICK NEED TO DO TO IT LMAO? but he couldn’t handle his damn yeast?… hm.. do more!!!!!! MORE WORK IS IN ORDER (AND HONESTLY…I THOUGHT RICK DID ALL THE MODS ON HIMSELF FOR ALL THIS TIME!….THIS IS ALL OPENING AN INSANE CAN OF WORMS FOR ME…..fuuckkk… THIS CHANGES A LOOOT!?!??!?!!)
THE FEAR IN IAN’S VOICE WHEN RICK’S HEAD WAS HELD TO THE LAVA GIVES ME SHIVERS HIS PERFORMANCE IS IMMACULATE WHAT THE FUCK. honestly also got chills when rick declined an alcoholic beverage, fuck
HOLY FUCK I NEED TO SEE LIVE FOOTAGE OF WHAT WENT DOWN IN THAT SHED
