I was a little disappointed that Season 4 of Moominvalley 2019 kinda backtracked on the Snufmin ship, and had so few moments between them. So, in retaliation, I made an amv showcasing exactly what their relationship is and what we all see. Enjoy!

Bro was slick with Moomintroll.

He can make Moomin fall asleep with his asmr voice

He doesn’t have to hide in the second one, I noticed this on my first watch, it was funny how he easily convinced Moomin to take him along

(His little hand on Moomins shoulder and bag)

rick and morty s9e2 thoughts

spoilers ahead!

this episode was devastating in the best way. rick desperately wants to escape himself and he just can't at the end of it all, no matter how much he tries. it's heartbreaking. he just wants to be normal, but that's impossible for him (the man who can do anything). he will always end up back being the smartest man in the universe who hates himself.

i absolutely loved ted's outfits, how cutie. i love the little escape life he's made for himself. so simple and so nice with his good friends who really care about him.

while rick has changed a lot over the seasons, he is still the same depressed drunk bastard he always has been. he's stuck in a repeating cycle we've seen again and again. he's either going to continue this way, trying and failing to find ways to be happy and then taking it out on his family and getting drunk- or he's going to try to actually work on himself for once.

of course we see in the post-credit scene that he just continues trying this same method of memory-wiping himself to become someone else as 'vacation', so i don't suppose we will be seeing new positive growth anytime soon lol

i love that summer acknowledges how fucked up rick and morty's dynamic is and beth follows it up by ignoring it for now and dealing with something else. summer is so used to it that she's not going to do anything either. why would she? we all know beth will never admit that her father is bad for morty, and if beth won't do anything, summer won't either.

we always end up back with morty comforting drunk sad rick. morty lying to ted that rick is "so happy" to get him to switch back really got me.

this episode really pulled at my heart strings. rick lovers won this week, but at what cost?

Morty is so dumb that...

1. He regularly disarms Rick's neutrino bombs. The first time he did it it was completely on the fly, no prior experience. Yet, he did it.

2. He has a knack for learning alien languages... as for the tree people in the battery dimension, it was obviously done without any sort of translator or support. (And he took over as their leader)

3. He's quick on his feet and can think his way out in a stressful situation, figuring out things that Rick can't and coming up with innovative solutions.

4. He figured out how to use a portal gun.

5. He can figure out how machines he's never seen nor used before work, and employ them successfully.

6. Beat Rick (smartest man in the universe?) in a board game.

7. Can manipulate said "smartest man in the universe", if he so chooses.

8. Became a successful stock broker. Out of the blue. Just did it.

9. Run. Whole. Freaking. Civilizations (and also toppled them as Marta)

10. Pitches good ideas that Rick typically ignores

11. When suddenly becomes motivated to try, he is good at math

12. His ideas were good enough that he would have gotten a deal for a movie production...!

13. His default intelligence is maxed out.

...At this point, it's only a matter of time before he starts making his own inventions, Eyepatch-Morty-style.

GUYS.

The only reason we've been thinking that Morty is stupid is that Rick has been calling him stupid repeatedly.

Sure, Morty does plenty of dumb stuff, but so does Rick. Rick has the emotional intelligence of a four year old and throws tantrums of cosmic proportions whenever slighted (vat of acid? submit to the selfie?), while often going ahead with complicated, innovative ideas... that in reality solve nothing and are a waste of time (Pickle Rick?? Leg Rick?? Cloning his own daughter? The dumb time-loop in his own dimension? Replacing himself with a robot? Creating a robot ghost to scary Mr Poopybutthole instead of just telling him to leave??) Not to mention his many incredibly lame jokes.

Everyone does dumb stuff occasionally!!! No one is an impeccable genius of non-stop moments of brightness!! (even Eyepatch Morty, the most cautious character, the character who has made basically NO MISTAKES up to now, sounds dumb a couple of times: "I'm gonna do the thing I wanna do, with the curve thing" and "My biggest fear is other people being afraid. Of fear. Itself." lol).

If Rick hadn't been calling Morty a freaking idiot with every breath available, we wouldn't be thinking "oh look haha the moron became a stock broker, what a joke, must be some sort of fluke"; we would be thinking "what an incredibly gifted kid".

We would attribute Morty's many mistakes to lack of experience, to lack of wisdom, to youth, to enthusiasm, to idealism, to teenager hormones, to acting hastily.

We would wish to see him eventually mature, apply his time and effort to worthwhile endeavors instead (mainly) of inane teenage stuff. We would wish to see him do well in school, we would wish to see him reach his full potential and succeed in great things.

Only Rick keeps pounding our heads with how stupid Morty is, and all of Morty's successes are never mentioned again, but getting lost to oblivion in comparison to Rick's (who has 60+ years more experience) genius.

WE VIEWERS ARE BEING UNWITTINGLY MANIPULATED THE EXACT SAME WAY MORTY IS.

Great catch from the Rick and Morty subreddit.

[picturejasper20]

So in the recent Rick and Morty comic (the last one from Oni press) it explores how much negative impact Rick has had on Morty to the point Morty ends up repeating similar abusive patterns with his own granddaughter (Mortilda) in the future:

Morty explains to Rick that after Rick dissappeared (he was taken away from the Smith family) he tried to be smart like Rick and that lead him to try to be like Rick

And Rick actually apologizes for how much he hurt Morty

Not only that but he comes with an idea to repair the damage he has done by travelling back in time and trying to talk to himself before he arrived at Smith house:

And that actually seems to work

Past! Rick still ends up living with the Smith family but this time he is more careful of bringing Morty to his adventures and tries to give him a more normal life while being way nicer to him, making the abusive future version of Morty dissappear.

This way both Rick and Morty get a ¨second chance¨: Rick doesn't load all his problems on Morty and the rest of the family and is a nicer grandpa for Morty this time around and Morty gets a Rick that is nicer and it is implied he grows to be way healthier than his future version at the start of the comic.

I really like how this comic shows the negative impact that Rick had on Morty growing up and Rick actually apologizing and trying to find a way to fix his mistakes. I also like how both of them get a second chance in a way for things to happen right this time around- for Rick to be nicer and not bringing everyone down with him and for Morty to have a more normal life.

As a kid I never realized how dangerous Robin is but after seeing all the memes people made me understand just how dangerous Robin is... I knew he was intense but in reality, that boy was more of a beast than Beast Boy ever was

He dropped like…. At least 20 feet to knee drop this dude 6 feet under ground. LOOK at his position y’all, he wanted to KILL
