My Collecting Habits Would Get Up To Uncomprehensible Amounts Of Uncontrollable And Honestly Concerning

not to be a dirty commie or anything but i don't think any one person should have enough money to solve world hunger and then get to decide not to

There aren't words in any language to properly help you understand how true this is

rick and morty is my cocomelon. my baby sensory dancing fruit. a weighted blanket but for for my mind. my equivalent to 2 hour long videos of soothing music for babies on youtube. my lifeline, if you will.

Adult Swim did a great job with the recasting because most Rick fuckers approve, and they know Rick's voice better than anyone.

Shut up, babe. I lied. Put your clothes back on. I have to talk about how Rick Sanchez defeated his greatest enemy (himself) in a single mid-season episode and how that mirrors the real life horror of achieving what you dedicated your life to only to realize that it didn’t fix you, it was your reason for living, and you don’t know how to get better without it.

You ruined a perfectly hot middle aged man by giving him abs

THIS IS A FUCKING MASTERPIECE HOLY FUCKING SHIT

IT'S FINALLY DONE. I don't think I'll draw for a week tbh lol

I put a lot of work into this. Reblog if you want to, it's appreciated if you do.

#me and Rick Sanchez are the same person

how to end an argument

i love arcane cause no matter how attractive or compelling they make any of the topsiders im just like "oh yeah they want to obliterate the lower class" and then i stop caring

I'm just gonna...ahem...leave this here for the Beth haters...

Another post I love too much not to repost :)

Pondering on the overall arc of Rick and Morty again. In the past, I’ve said that the point of Rick and Morty is that everything matters, way too much. (At least, there’s an argument to be made there about Rick’s character progression.)

Rick was backed into a philosophical corner by his experience of what it means to be alive. If everything matters, that means that what happened to him actually had consequences on who he is. If, somehow, he can find confirmation that nothing matters, instead— that there are no real consequences and he’s one of the elite few to understand the significance of cosmic insignificance— then he mourns for nothing. Nothing that happened to him and nothing that was taken away from him mattered.

It’s the opposing vice of ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ The application of value to trauma is equally as invalid and toxic as removing it entirely. I don’t know about you, but what happened to me didn’t make me stronger, and I loathe hearing that from people. It made me who I am, sure, but I can appreciate that I have my good qualities in spite of what I’ve been through— in spite of those who tried to take them away from me. Those people and experiences don’t deserve credit for anything I’ve become. There is no positive spin on the negative impact of trauma. It was negative, and we keep on going. The truth is, on some level, Rick is broken— and without either nihilism or application of a metric of ‘worth’ to his trauma, he would have to worry that he’ll be broken forever.

Unfortunately, the downside of nihilism comes from the concept that, if nothing that broke you ever mattered, then no effort to heal those wounds would matter. Therefore, nothing Rick does to other people would matter, and nothing he could do to right those wrongs would, either. That is his biggest character flaw. This is what his development has been confronting.

This is why I find it more likely that the resolution to Rick’s moral issues will round out at absurdism. If nothing matters, then EVERYTHING matters, because you have to enjoy and protect what matters to you. If the universe creates infinite idiots just to eat them, then you might as well enjoy the ride instead of trying fight it until you inevitably get thrown off. Maybe the point of life isn’t to deny that our trauma is substantial, or even convince ourselves of its worth. Instead, maybe the point is to acknowledge what we still have when we get to the end of the line despite every curve ball the universe tried to throw at us. It made us, it will eat us, and our only way to give it the metaphorical middle finger is to ensure that our lives will mean something in spite of our cosmic insignificance. If we are meaningful in a meaningless existence, then what does that say about our power over the infinite? If we value fostering our positive traits instead of punishing them for their lack of value, then what does that say about our value on our own, as we are, both unchanged and changed by the insignificance life itself represents?

Maybe it’s special for Rick to be alive (for Rick to love; for Rick to fail and succeed) simply because of how not special those experiences are.

At the end of the day, being 'replaceable' is what makes things special, not the other way around. We get to choose to care, and that's terrifyingly beautiful.
