fear no mort take: rick pinning his photo of morty from his wallet on the fear hole board represents his letting go of his greatest fear, which is his dependence on morty

at the end of the ep, rick and morty walk out of the fear hole room. rick sprints back toward the hole alone. by mirroring precisely how morty went in the hole at the start of the episode, this seems like it's setting rick up to go in and face his greatest fear. instead, rick pauses, closes his eyes, and takes a beat, perhaps coming to a sort of decision.... before pinning the photo and walking away.

when he first saw the hole, he admitted he didn't "trust it" to overcome his fears. he decided to face it himself, instead. keeping the photo with him at all times was a sign of his dependence, and he chose to let it go by literally leaving it on this random bathroom wall he's never returning to.

fake-hole-rick explicitly faces his fear of letting go of diane, but much more relevant to who real rick is now is his fear of letting go of morty. another nice parallel is between rick and morty's fears: they each try to overcome their fear of their dependence on the other. morty was successful in overcoming his fear, because he left the hole and it, uh, fed on the fear or whatever. whether rick was successful in facing his fear, though, is unclear. much more likely is that this is the first time he identifies this as his deepest fear, possibly setting up future character development

[calcifiedantler]

if they wont give us morty content... well thats that fandom is for

[calcifiedantler]

let me know if i am missing something. but. they acknowledged how broken the timeline is that one time morty said 'haven't we had like 3 thanksgivings' and so ig we're meant to assume the main cast don't age. so. how old is the bird child. and will she continue to age away from the camera. are we meant to go along with it making no sense. meta post authors get on this
