All the families together!

Even made one for Rick. 

C-500a- Mortyfan Rick’s universe.  This is the Beth and Jerry seen in “Rixty Minutes.” This Beth got pregnant at 17, like in the main universe, but instead of marrying Jerry and having Summer (and eventually Morty) she had an abortion. She would go on to become a surgeon (on actual people) while Jerry became a movie star. 17 years later however he still couldn’t let go of his ex-girlfriend and tried to get her back. This resulted in him being frozen to death by Rick. 

C-063- Morticia’s universe.  This version of Beth went through with her first pregnancy but had a son instead of a daughter. She stayed with Jerry until sometime after Morticia’s birth, at whihc point they had a divorce and she married Paul Fleishman. 

O-356- Rabbit’s universe.  A universe where humans evolved from carrots. Rabbit Morty got bit by a radioactive rabbit, which resulted in his current form. 

C-034- Superfan’s universe.  Rick left after the events of the pilot episode due to an argument with Jerry. This resulted in even more arguments between Beth and Jerry and Morty would grow to resent his father, a lot. 

C-71a3- Eyepatch’s universe. Beth had her first baby, but went back to medical school shortly after, leaving Jerry to raise her, so this time she’s still a human doctor but with a family. Rick’s been around for all of Morty’s life, but Morty’s been kind of terrified of him since early childhood, he even tried to kill his grandfather several times.

Finally decided to make designs for Morticia’s family. (Rabbit’s is coming soon too). 

This one’s a bit unusual... For one she has a brother instead of a sister.  Secondly as seen in Mortynight Run some Beths remarry. This one of those Beths. 

Sam and Morticia’s father is still Jerry Smith, which is why they have his last name. But they have a stepfather in Paul Fleishman. (Probably not the same Paul as appears in Mortynight Run however, as he specifically refers to Morty as a boy)

Seedfolks: By Paul Fleischman

A Vietnamese girl plants six lima beans in a Cleveland vacant lot. 

Looking down on the immigrant-filled neighborhood, a Romanian woman watches suspiciously.

 A school janitor gets involved, then a Guatemalan family. 

Then muscle-bound Curtis, trying to win back Lateesha. 

Pregnant Maricela. 

Amir from India. A sense of community sprouts and spreads.

Buddhas are rare. They are so radiant, inspiring and exemplary that they lead millions of people for thousands of years. The further we follow the path they have walked, the closer we will get to the fruits that they have won. But in this lifetime we are likely to lack some strengths and have many common frailties. Vipassana meditation blossoms when we have realistic acceptance of ourselves. In every setback, whenever we are knocked down, there is no better time to activate what we have developed so far. Every moment is new, and an opportunity from which we can benefit no matter how long a chain of problems we have yet to solve. Vipassana is like walking through a series of doors in the house of your own kamma (karma). Door after door must be patiently opened, in room after room. Maybe one of these rooms with its slippery marble floors may take you lifetimes to cross. But if you keep going you will at last step out onto the back porch and beyond the house of yourself, beyond all doors at last. Someone may be singing the famous song burst that the Buddha sang at the moment he became fully enlightened, about how he had broken through all walls of himself. It may be you who is singing.
