season 8 finale is so much... abstract metaphor for the adult consequences of childhood mistreatment, the way it encapsulates the entire trajectory of beth and rick's relationship to this point (rick's single-minded quest to avenge Diane tearing them apart, using her like a tool, affection mixed with violence), seeing up close what he did to her, earth beth being the one who has to keep the family together. Normal beth kills space beth, her sci-fi alter ego, her weird life her independent life, to "stay a family." give yourself up so you'll be loved. her real desire to kill herself. "I remember loving my dad and hating my dad" you real dad is heeeeeeeeere healing from abuse through closure and repaired binds..... the omega device erasing memories, grief. Your entire life was ruined because of this person you can't even remember. But it's everything. Rick passed it on to her

[tootiredforaname]

so okay Rick vs Rick prime? Mental illness addiction metaphor. His family was destroyed by another version of him. They say they're the same bc they are the same. Your brain is so fucked you blew up your life and you left the wreckage. And now your daughter has too much in her head and its too confusing to live with and you're not either of those people anymore you're trying to change but she's still stuck. GOOD SHOWWWWWW

[tootiredforaname]

Okay. So. Pretend Rick and morty is the shadow on the cave. And the thing its describing is:

Man has wife and kid. Man becomes depressed and uncaring and cold etc. Puts strain on the family until it collapses and he fucks off. Years later he comes back into his child's life. So. Abuse metaphor. Disclaimer: still stoned

[tootiredforaname]

Season 9 episode 2 reinforces this interpretation. A more cynical version of you destroys your simple life and all you can do is cope

[tootiredforaname]

but also. You're trying to be better, or to ignore it and live a better life, but this ASSHOLE keep ruining everything. And it's youuuuy

[ID: Rick and Morty fanart featuring Rick, Beth and Morty.

The piece is entirely lineart. It shows a cutout view of Rick's hip flask. Inside, Rick is sprawled at the bottom, a beer bottle in hand, looking pissed off and pissed drunk. A ball and chain is around his ankle. The chain connects up to Beth's ankle shackle. She's floating above him, holding her wine glass, arguing and pleading. Above her, linked into the chain too, Morty's head is above the liquid but he's flailing for help. Neither of then look at him.

If your system doesn't account for the fact that Parents Are Going To Be Abusive/Neglectful/Insufficient then it objectively sucks I'm sorry I don't make the rules

[galaxycepheus]

Monitored bank accounts for those under 18. Requiring parental consent for medical procedures. Parental controls on personal devices. "We won't teach this at school because parents are supposed to address it at home." Anything that puts all of the child's power onto the parents' hand, anything that assumes parents are going to inherently do enough of a good job no one else needs to interfer, every single one of these IS going to be used by controlling, neglectful or unprepared parents and already are, and if the system did not account for that very real, tangible, dangerous tendency, then it's not worth fucking anything. You shouldn't make things "for the youth"/with children in mind if you are going to overlook this painfully common aspect of their lives u_u

What if the reason we haven’t seen Summer that much this season is that she’ll become pivotal in the finale? Lemme explain.

Summer is the most Rick-like member of the family. She’s the most desensitized, manipulative, and ruthless. You know what I mean, plenty episodes shoecasing this. The point is: the concept of an Evil Summer is so much scarier than the concept of an Evil Morty.

Now hear me out.

If I were going to introduce Evil Summer, or something similar, I’d start the season with Evil Morty to remind everyone that evil counterparts exist. Then I’d take him off the board so he’s no longer an issue. I’d keep Summer off-screen to get her off people’s radar, so the eventual reveal feels more sudden and impactful. And then I'd end the season on a beat nobody expected, having her become a threat to the max.

I’m not really sure what I’m theorizing here. This is wild and like only 5% chance of happening.

But the season’s structure so far definitely allows for this...

All the love to Summer. She’s the fucking best 💪

Let her kick everyones ass.
