I can see why you took on the responsibility with this research...Your assessment of me was...pretty accurate...

"Who the f-fuck- oh, it's you. That booger bitch's counterpart."
"Of c-course I was right, I have to know about dumbasses li-egh-ke that in c-case they become threats. Or... ya know, just f-for fun."

I HAVE ANOTHER RICK AND MORTY OVERANAYLASIS BITCHESSSSSS
Rick pushing people away to protect them is genuinely heartbreaking. Anyone he loves either ends up dying, leaving him, or get put in danger because of him.
I believe he sees himself as a virus. Infecting anyone who gets too close. He hates that he cares about anyone. He wants to be like Rick Prime, he wants to not care about anyone to be by himself doing whatever he wants not being stopped by stupid things like "morality" and "emotions" apart of why he hates Rick Prime is because he's everything Rick wants to be, but can never bw. That also attributes to his self loathing, if you want to be like your worst enemy, the persin that killed your wife and ruined your life, what does that make you? Why does he wants to like someone he hates? That makes his a horrible person doesn't it?
Then in season 2 episode 10 "The Wedding Squanchers" he finally decides to openly show his love and support for Birdperson's marriage, showing that hes nothing like Rick Prime. Then What does he get as a reward for being vulnerable? For showing just how different he was for not being Rick Prime? Tammy shooting Birdperson right in front of him. He loved Unity and what happens? Unity left him, pushing Rick so far that he attemped. He loved Daphane and what happens then? Daphne leaving him when she had no use for him anymore. He loves Morty and what happens to Morty on a daily basis? He's constantly put in danger because of Rick. He loved Diane and what does he get? Seeing Diane blow up in front of him.
Thats why he's awful to Morty. He thinks that he needs to push Morty away to keep him safe. So he constantly insults Morty, hoping that he would eventually start believing what he's saying, hoping that he won't love Morty, hoping that Morty will distance himself so he won't get too close and end up getting hurt, but Morty stays and Rick is stuck. He wants to keep Morty safe, so he pushes him away but he also needs Morty and wants him to stay. But in his mind, people around him get hurt. That's why Healthy Rick was nice to Morty despite not caring about him. And why Toxic Rick treated Morty horribly despite caring about him. He's mean to him because he loves him, because he's terrified of losing him. Being harsh towards someone you love is a paradox, Ricks relationship with Morty is a paradox. He wants Morty to leave but needs Morty to stay.
Thats why he considers him caring about Morty irrational. It's inherently a paradox. He wants Morty to go and stay at the same time. He wants Morty to go to keep him safe. But he also loves Morty and just wants him to stay by him. It doesn't make sense for him to want two completely opposite things. To give such mixed messages. There were so many times where Morty wants to leave but Rick convinced him to stay. He wants Morty to leave so Morty will stay safe. But he genuinely could not imagine (nor does he want to) being without Morty. Morty is such an inherent part of him now. Morty leaving would take a part of Rick with him.
He hates caring about Morty. He doesn't want to. He wants Morty to leave. But he doesn't. He wants to hate Morty. But he doesn’t. He wants to be like Rick Prime, not caring about anything at all. But he's not. Because he cares about people, and he hates himself for it.
I know that analysis of Rest and Ricklaxation (toxic Rick) have probably been done many times now, but I just wanted to have my own go at it.
In my opinion, both versions of Rick are toxic. They both exhibit traits that are negative in their own way. And they both display traits that are healthy.
Here's some stuff I noticed about healthy Rick and toxic Rick.
Healthy Rick
- Both Ricks are equally intelligent. (Makes me wonder why Rick wouldn't think his intelligence is toxic since intelligence is part of what caused his family to get killed).
- Healthy Rick is kind, considerate, modest, and has full control over his emotions.
- Healthy Rick admitted that he "didn't give a sh*t" about Morty.
- Healthy Rick slaps healthy Morty, and shoots toxic Morty without believing that it's a toxic action. (Possible hatred towards Morty because he is Rick Prime's original grandson?)
- Healthy Rick pointedly says that Morty is an "irrational attachment". (Another reference that he believes loving the grandson to his primary enemy is toxic or wrong?)
- Healthy Rick asks that Beth be left out of the dangerous commotion.
- He is capable of manipulation.
- He curses.
- He uses violence to fight when necessary- mostly self defense- up until he manipulated toxic Rick by shooting toxic Morty.
- He couldn't win against toxic Rick in hand to hand combat. He's physically weaker.
- He found toxic Rick's vulnerable reaction to Morty's endangered life amusing.
- He was completely certain that he wanted his toxic self back even though his toxicity wasn't actually necessary or needed.
- Despite believing that his attachment to Morty was irrational, I think a tiny part of his healthy self either still cared about him or wanted to care about him.
Toxic Rick
- Toxic Rick never physically hurt Morty. Yeah, he was a little rough with the manhandling but he still didn't hit or shoot him.
- Toxic Rick's most toxic traits are dominance, narcissism, anger, controlling attitude, lack of self-control, burping, alcoholism, vulnerability, loneliness, sadness, clinginess, attachment issues, lying and manipulation.
- Toxic Rick absolutely DESPISED the healthy version of himself. (Perhaps because he knows that that part of him does not care about Morty. Idk. There's something toxic going on with healthy Rick, I just can't decide what).
- He always needs/has toxic Morty with him.
- He is gentle with toxic Morty and openly displays vulnerability when he is hurt. He even tried comforting him.
- He always asks to make sure that toxic Morty is watching and listening to him. He loves the attention.
- He doesn't care about Summer or Beth very much. Though he does willingly leave when Beth steps into the commotion. (Perhaps he hoped to turn her toxic as well?)
- He is physically stronger than healthy Rick and more violent.
- He openly displayed fear and sadness when toxic Morty's life was in danger.
- Even though he hated healthy Rick, he still sacrificed himself to save Morty.
Things I wanna know.
- Why did healthy Rick want to merge with his toxic self when he obviously couldn't lie and admitted to hating having toxicity in him?
- Why does healthy Rick not care about Morty? And why does he consider Morty an irrational attachment?
- What is so bad about healthy Rick that made toxic Rick absolutely freakin' hate him?
I feel like a muppet that’s controlled by these two assholes.
Huh, a Pirate Rick? I bet Toxic freaked out when he first saw you.
- @t0x1cr1ck (Healthy Rick)
Yeah that dick screams and yells whenever he sees me.
i’m kind of in to it
