Did anyone else who stayed up for at least part of the S7 marathon last night get ✨️emotional✨️ when the S8 trailer came on during the commercial break halfway through Unmortricken?
Granted, the fact I'd been awake for about 20 hours at the time may have played a part in that, but when it came on, I was so overwhelmed (in a positive way!)
It's been a while since I talked about this, but Unmortricken just... means so much to me. Not only do I absolutely love it for everything it is in-story, but this is the episode that jumpstarted my really being active in the fandom.
And it's been even longer since I last mentioned THIS, but I love you, Rick and Morty Tumblr mutuals. The year and a half since I first found my way here after Unmortricken premiered has been, hands down, the best fandom experience I've ever had.
As every new promo for Season 8 has come out, I've thought about how this is a first for me - not only being excited about New Upcoming Thing, but being excited to share New Upcoming Thing and thoughts about it with people. I'll talk about this more in another post, because this one's already so very long (and I have to get ready for work).
But yeah, all of that just hit me at a whole new level when the trailer came on during that commercial break last night. I can't wait for my first full season officially IN the fandom, and for sharing that with all of you.
