Was I Too Harsh On The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy? (A Re-Review)
This post won't go over the Jerry and Rick subplot, just the Summer-Beth-Morty subplot instead.
Previously, my main gripe with this episode's subplot is that it felt like character regression and would fit season 2/1 instead of season 3. Summer growing her breasts after being dumped didn't feel like it fit season 3. However, in the two tier lists I've done about Summer episodes, I always neglected the rest of the plot in equal detail. Over time, I've started to appreciate this episode more and more. So I want to re-review it and give it the flowers it deserved from the start! After rewatching, I think this episode has aged better now that we have season 8's Summer Of All Fears. What I originally thought was a fluke is now retroactively cemented as a demonstration of the core of Summer and Beth's mother-daughter relationship: show, don't tell.
Beth is awful at verbally comforting Summer, which kicks off the B-plot. Though Morty has the idea to go to the campsite, Beth is the one who has the idea to make herself just as giant and grotesque to comfort Summer. Even if Morty fixed Summer or if Summer killed Ethan and Tricia, it would've never fixed Summer's insecurities. This idea is seen in Summer Of All Fears. Beth is impressed by Summer's maturity now, but talking to her about it won't work. Instead, she uses herself as an example of what happens when you mature at 17. That's something these two episodes share! Beth uses herself as an example, puts herself in Summer's shoes, to show that she truly does understand what her daughter's going through and loves her even if she can't convey it with words.
I remember constantly saying this was character regression, not progression. That this would've fit a season 2 plot better. But I take that back. If anything, this kind of development for Summer and Beth would not work in season 2. My criticism was always "Why is Summer worried about her boobs if she's becoming more confident this season?", but this season never covered her relationship with partners and friends. That means they're covering ground, especially with her mother. All in all, my opinion has fully changed. I cannot believe I used to call this a D tier Summer subplot ONLY because I thought it was out of character. Unlike Childrick of Mort, being out-of-character wasn't that harmful because I thought about it being more "out-of-season". A really dumb excuse for what I consider a B tier Summer subplot. By the way, if you're curious about my other changed thoughts: I think Rick's dialog feels stilted at the beginning, a lot of long explanations and such. But in the second half, it clears up. Summer's transformations are more painful to sit through than I remember. poor thing :( Morty is... way cornier than I remember. I'm sorry, but I kept getting second-hand embarrassment as if I was there with him. Him going into the room sipping his mug all casually, trying to talk to Beth, his final monologue with Ethan... eughhh. Sorry, but I wasn't a big fan of it. Did Tricia have another voice actress?? The wiki says no, but I swear she did. Her voice is higher here than her later appearances, though her occasional vocal frill may be causing it to sound deeper/more monotone in comparison. Otherwise, the rest is great. I still love the A-plot as I always have, and now I just love the entire episode!!! I had fun rewatching this episode for my re-review. All in all, a great Summer subplot that feels much stronger with newer content! And as always... you already know the drill. Click the link, join my RaM server that's free of weirdos!

To clarify, the "will be down" section is just what I will definitely write. Anything not mention will just be talked over normally. Reblog to pass it along and DM me on Tumblr to commission and more information!
Something about that knowledge— the reminder that everything around him was little more than an illusion— made Morty feel unreal, hazily defined in the otherwise infinite stretch of space.
He'd come out here to free himself from being a part of Rick’s constantly shifting narrative, and the last thing he needed to do was highlight how pathetic he was capable of being to a version of himself who was so undoubtedly… not like him.

I love your blog I really do I just wonder, what stroke of genius passed through your body when you decided to name yourself “summersmithlatinxgyatt” <- its amazing
I don't think I ever explained my blog name + a lot of people get a bad impression which is far so let me actually explain this When my hyperfixation began and I needed an outlet ASAP, I was told by @lainakeia that Tumblr is a good place to be on since that's where the fandom is most active at. So I need a username... nothing really popped out, and their friend told me "you should make your name latina gyatt" cause yk, that was a meme at the time. And I laughed but I said "Okay let me compromise" and now my username is summersmithlatinxgyatt. It also really sticks out so... yay? Also thanks for saying you love my blog ^_^ I did slow down a bit, but also (since I'm admitting a lot rn), I feel like I've said everything one could SAY about Summer by now! So... yeah if you're seeing this and want me to keep posting, don't stop giving me suggestions! Anyways enjoy that name backstory
A Guide To Writing Summer Part 3: Relationships
(hey! If you made it to the end, let me explain myself! For some reason, Tumblr wouldn't let me post it normally!! It refused to auto-save, and this is why this post ended up being so late compared to the others. Originally, this was all going to be one big post, but I had to break it up, and the final part, as I said, refused to save and therefore couldn't be posted. I am so sorry, and this looks so unprofessional. But if you really made it this far, I'm glad you read up and took some advice. It means the world to me, and I hope you all enjoyed this series! Below are the other parts, for reference) Part 1 - Dialog Part 2 - Family
A Guide To Writing Summer
Part 2 - Family
Summer LOVES her family, but in a similar way to Rick...or everyone else, really. They're all dysfunctional and pick one another apart. This section also serves to continue the dialog part from before.
Always emphasize the bond she has with Beth. Whether you're writing angst, comedy, or fluff, this is something you cannot remove from either character in a way that can be endlessly interpreted. Do you think Summer hates Beth deep down due to how she was raised and how she was nearly aborted, never truly moving on? Do you think she acknowledges the teen pregnancy and how they both grew up together? Do you think that they talk while Beth drives Summer to school and Summer catches her up on gossip in class? Write what you want to write! Just know that they have a strong mother-and-daughter bond, with episodes like Morty's Mindblowers showing us how deep it can go. If you're writing in such a way that your story takes place in the current timeline, you should acknowledge the new boundary that Summer and Beth have set up for one another. They are not friends, they are clearly mother and daughter, and bond as such. Show how Beth IS her mother, not a cool adult she hangs out with. Beth trying to win her over in a non-genuine way wouldn't fit. If you're working off of older seasons (preferably anything taking place before Season 3's The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy), show the drift between both still being present. Summer doesn't think Beth would understand what she's going through, while Beth can't find a way to tell her daughter how much she loves her. And if you're going back even further to before Season 1's Rixty Minutes, then you should emphasize that the drift isn't addressed. Summer wouldn't know that she was almost aborted, especially that her parents considered it for themselves of course, but she would know something is off. She doesn't have to directly say it, just try to find ways to explore it. My friend @lainakeia has an amazing ongoing fic (link here!!) through Summer's eyes as she grows up, with a lot of sequences of Summer knowing things are off when Jerry or Beth push the family dynamic in a way they don't typically do.
Speaking of Jerry...
She has a VERY rocky relationship with him, if it wasn't obvious enough. Summer finds his usual behavior to be really lame, but she always attacks how he's "fake" in how he puts on this persona of adoring his family when, in her eyes, he does it to further boost his own self-esteem. This is seen in Look Who's Purging Now and Childrick of Mort (an episode I never thought I'd cite when it comes to writing). Again, she's reactive. She doesn't just go into the room and call him a loser. And as I said before, she is both used to his loafing around and is on her phone most of the time. Look Who's Purging Now shows this very well, so it's a good episode to watch if you wanna study the father and daughter dynamic. If she ever has to attack him, it HAS to be for a reason. Childrick of Mort made the mistake of making her snap for a really bad reason, if you ask me. If, say, Jerry is trying to flirt with Beth and it's embarrassing, Summer wouldn't just break him down right then and there. She'd either go to her room or say that's gross, but stop there. On the other hand, if Jerry starts doing nice things for Summer (and she'll probably like it) only to realize that Jerry makes it about himself and making himself look good, she WOULD tear into him and his self-esteem. Don't forget!! Jerry loves movies, and Summer does not care for them! If you want an inciting incident that is reactive as I said before, you could ABSOLUTELY do something with this dynamic! Not to mention that Summer seems to not mind Rick's colorful references, with Hot Rick showing that she was willing to watch a piece of media because Rick referenced it. If you want a nice tidbit in your story and/or want to push her character exploration, try showing Summer's reaction to both men making references to a movie. Summer would likely retort with "Dad, nobody knows what that means" or "Nobody knows what you're talking about" If you want a story where Summer isn't mean to Jerry, nor one where Jerry is trying to win Summer over, then I suggest you do what you want! But just like how Beth and Jerry have a strong bond, explore their past. Yet again, Look Who's Purging Now shows that she holds her memories with Jerry very closely. Try to explore that little bit and how they did have a far closer father and daughter bond.
While we're here, we can discuss Space Beth. We don't have many instances of Summer with Space Beth, but she does seem to perpetuate the Domestic and Space Beth distinctions, seeing her as a cool badass space mom. You can write a scenario with them on an adventure together, but there's two things to keep in mind: 1 - Space Beth has missions to do. Unlike Rick, she can't just bumble around. You could write that happening (and again, I encourage you all to explore scenarios that we don't see on the show), but it wouldn't be a common occurrence, so perhaps Space Beth is a bit thrown off by it 2 - She doesn't have a strong bond with her like Beth. Summer looks up to her for her actions, and Space Beth does seem to respect Summer as shown in Solaricks. But this seems to start and end with how they do in combat. Again, you guys can explore them however you want, but if you want to see how their relationship works, this is a good start and something worth addressing.
Morty is interesting. They also have a strong bond that was established in Rixty Minutes, and if you want that to be your anchor for their bond, then you are writing a similar dynamic to Summer with Beth. They don't always see eye-to-eye, but are undeniably close, especially following episodes like The Rickshank Rickdemption where they team up together despite their different views on Rick.
When it comes to any clashing dynamics, try to emphasize a usual sister and brother dynamic. I recommend this solely because it stays true to the show and is just a fun thing to do, especially if you're going for a more lighthearted approach. They can also be written to butt heads over being on missions with Rick, though again, it would be nicer if you were to write all three of them together. I only say this because I encourage everyone to try things we rarely see, and it's just wholesome :) This section is a little short as I am not the best at writing Morty, but to those who ARE good at writing him, be sure to reblog this with your own advice! As for what I'll say if you're already educated on how to write him 🤓: You can always reel things back by mentioning their shared friends. Jessica is friends with Tricia, who is friends with Summer. And since both attend the same high school, if you're ever starved for a conversation or starting point when it comes to a grounded story, go with that. Again, sorry this section is so short!!
Rick is one that people sometimes misunderstand. You have to keep in mind that Morty and Summer are not the same person. Summer never mixes errands with adventures. If she has to help Rick get crystals from another planet, she’s not going to turn it into a bonding moment. Sure, she’ll save him and get sappy over familial love, but that’s not what I’m talking about.
Morty Daddy explicitly spells it out for us, as nearly every interaction between Summer and Rick starts with them wanting to go out together for some grandfather and granddaughter bonding that gets interrupted and turns into an adventure. She doesn’t want these to cross over, so if you do write them, try to emphasize the difference between them. How I see it: “Going out” just means something like the cog restaurant from Morty Daddy or the fender they went on in A Rickconvenient Mort. “Errands” or “adventures” would be any of the events that take place during them. So again, that would include the chase sequence in Morty Daddy, or Summer realizing Daphne is a bad influence on Rick in A Rickconvenient Mort. Again, this distinction keeps Summer different from Morty. It also emphasizes how and why they butt heads. If you want to make a clear character-driven divergence, then I suggest you watch A Rickconvenient Mort. Though, if you're not down to write an adventure, I still strongly advise you watch that episode's second plotline to appreciate how the two understand each other. I always viewed it as Summer and Rick having similar coping mechanisms and when one is unhealthy, the other points it out. They're both a little damaged but wanna fix each other. You can work with that overlap fairly well. Overall, she's driven to Rick as a result. She wants to be with him to make life less boring. Whether it's to help him or just have fun, she'll take it. Just not both at the same time, necessarily (well, she DOES get a kick out of helping Rick to begin with, so don't exclude that element!)
To wrap up the family section, a few extra notes: When writing a pre-season 3 Summer, family is not the exact focus. She doesn't care much for them, and will especially favor seeking friendship. This is where you want to hone in on specific relationships rather than trying to emphasize how she sees her entire family.When writing during or past season 3, emphasize the idea of family as a whole. This is especially important when you are writing during or past season 6, where Summer holds family above all else. I'd say season 3 is when she realizes that she cannot lose family ever again, while seasons 5 to 6 deal with how she essentially traded her own relationships to protect the entire family and keep them together. This is an approach that works amazingly well when you are writing a solo and/or POV Summer Story, so I'd start here. It allows you to be a bit more vague about these concepts and how Summer could view them, rather than viewing just family members. And again, if you're reading this all and know how to write one family member better, that's great! If you are reading this, don't feel afraid to reblog with some tips on writing the other family members and their dynamic with Summer! But I'd also say to not allow this to reimagine how you see them. Rather, combine it with what I've said, or use it to explore your own headcanons.

A Guide To Writing Summer
Part 1 - Dialog
I thought it would be fun to talk about how I write Summer, and since I'm basically the biggest Summer fan 🤭 maybe you can see this as tips for writing her!
To start, not every Summer is the same! Most Summers across the Central Finite Curve stay pretty harmless. phone-addicted, and sassy, though. If you want to stand out with your story, make your own Summer! But if you wanna make her feel accurate to her usual C-131 depiction or a generally typical Summer, keep reading! Summer always stays snappy. This is something I usually stray from, but that's mostly because I write romantic fluff. If I don't make Summer all lovey-dovey, then she's written as constantly reactive. She will respond to ANYTHING you say and won't let anything slip through the cracks. Whether it's to avoid criticism or make a joke, it's always done in such a way that crams in some slang or reference
When it comes to references, NEVER have Summer reference a show or movie. She's not the kind to do that, she's not like Rick!Never have Summer reply like: "You're giving Barb from Stranger Things." Do have her reply with something like "Chopped doesn't even begin to describe how you look." You can sometimes get away with this if it's a show everyone knows. And I mean TRULY everyone knows. Summer doesn't know Die Hard and barely recognized The Purge, and she dismissed that movie series because she disliked it. The only references she'd make from in-universe content would be the Ball Fondlers series. Don't overdo it! She may not make constant references like Rick, but that means she has to get creative with her insults and sass. One line of dialog that encapsulates this is "Bitch, my generation gets traumatized for breakfast" in response to her mother saying her generation wouldn't understand trauma. A line like this works over her just name-dropping a social media movement or outright mentioning Twitter or something. Another good line is "We're carping all them diems." She obviously isn't the brightest at times, and having Summer misuse a saying either because of how 'complex' it sounds (try using a Latin phrase, or something in French!) or because smart people say it often works very well. You can even try to look up what phrases are commonly misunderstood and nab one of those for her! If you're going for something emotional, try to stray as close as possible to Summer's usual personality. It can always feel awkward to write a character that's usually comedic in a very somber way. I'd recommend watching an episode like The Rickshank Rickdemption to appreciate how she emotes. When she's distressed, she still employs her snark by using it to support her argument. I would not say you should not make her simply scream her point at times. But again, if you wanna be accurate and make it feel familiar, I'd recommend writing your dialog like this:"And if you weren't just digging in your ass the whole time we were here, we wouldn't even BE stranded on this planet!"It never hurts to sprinkle in a few 'Boo-ya's too! If Summer isn't on her phone, then she's talking. This may sound redundant, but it means you'll never make her just stare off as if she's waiting for her turn to talk. Either Summer has something to say or is responding to someone. She almost never initiates a conversation. In Night Family, she nudged Rick towards allowing the family to access their Night variants. In Morty Daddy, their restaurant reservation was done off-screen. You can even argue an instance like her calling Tricia at the end of Summer of All Fears was done in response to her Matrix self. The only times Summer seems to initiate something is in a life-or-death situation (Rickmancing the Stone, Rickshank Rickdemption), or if it involves the family in a way that has her leading the charge (Night Family, GoTron)
