Me when I find a good, talented Rick and Morty artist, but then find out they ship Rickorty:

Another post I love too much not to repost :)

Pondering on the overall arc of Rick and Morty again. In the past, I’ve said that the point of Rick and Morty is that everything matters, way too much. (At least, there’s an argument to be made there about Rick’s character progression.)

Rick was backed into a philosophical corner by his experience of what it means to be alive. If everything matters, that means that what happened to him actually had consequences on who he is. If, somehow, he can find confirmation that nothing matters, instead— that there are no real consequences and he’s one of the elite few to understand the significance of cosmic insignificance— then he mourns for nothing. Nothing that happened to him and nothing that was taken away from him mattered.

It’s the opposing vice of ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.’ The application of value to trauma is equally as invalid and toxic as removing it entirely. I don’t know about you, but what happened to me didn’t make me stronger, and I loathe hearing that from people. It made me who I am, sure, but I can appreciate that I have my good qualities in spite of what I’ve been through— in spite of those who tried to take them away from me. Those people and experiences don’t deserve credit for anything I’ve become. There is no positive spin on the negative impact of trauma. It was negative, and we keep on going. The truth is, on some level, Rick is broken— and without either nihilism or application of a metric of ‘worth’ to his trauma, he would have to worry that he’ll be broken forever.

Unfortunately, the downside of nihilism comes from the concept that, if nothing that broke you ever mattered, then no effort to heal those wounds would matter. Therefore, nothing Rick does to other people would matter, and nothing he could do to right those wrongs would, either. That is his biggest character flaw. This is what his development has been confronting.

This is why I find it more likely that the resolution to Rick’s moral issues will round out at absurdism. If nothing matters, then EVERYTHING matters, because you have to enjoy and protect what matters to you. If the universe creates infinite idiots just to eat them, then you might as well enjoy the ride instead of trying fight it until you inevitably get thrown off. Maybe the point of life isn’t to deny that our trauma is substantial, or even convince ourselves of its worth. Instead, maybe the point is to acknowledge what we still have when we get to the end of the line despite every curve ball the universe tried to throw at us. It made us, it will eat us, and our only way to give it the metaphorical middle finger is to ensure that our lives will mean something in spite of our cosmic insignificance. If we are meaningful in a meaningless existence, then what does that say about our power over the infinite? If we value fostering our positive traits instead of punishing them for their lack of value, then what does that say about our value on our own, as we are, both unchanged and changed by the insignificance life itself represents?

Maybe it’s special for Rick to be alive (for Rick to love; for Rick to fail and succeed) simply because of how not special those experiences are.

At the end of the day, being 'replaceable' is what makes things special, not the other way around. We get to choose to care, and that's terrifyingly beautiful.

He's perfection and he's my husband thank you I NEED HIM EXPEDITIOUSLY

why does he look so cute in this shot he's literally just sitting there

Rick.

He told me to stop using the device he made me to hide everything I didn’t like about myself. Sure, it didn’t hide everything, but it hid most things…

but..

I argued with him about it.

I told him no.

He said I shouldn’t care about what other people think, and he loved me no matter what.

But, I wanna be normal.

I care what people think.

He took it from me.

Now I have to stare at the monster that I never wanted to see again..

Myself.

((Boom, big reveal!

Well, now you guys know what’s under the mask! feel free to ask Val about it!))

((Hey guys Artist/Writer

I’m here!😭 yayyy?

Anyway, I’m genuinely so happy that people have been interacting and talking with Val, it’s made me so fucking happy. For a while I was debating if I should just stop posting since I was just like dead and no one was interacting😭

But, for everyone who has interacted, thank you so much. It means a lot to me! And for everyone who’s interacted with Val through RP, THANK YOU SO SOSO MUCH!!! I CANNOT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW HAPPY I GET WHEN ANOTHER RP BLOG TALKS WITH VAL, SO THANK YOU ALL SOSOSOSOS MUCH!

Anyway.. I’m planning on revealing a lot of Val’s backstory here soon, since right now they’re kind of.. mysterious regarding what they’ve gone through or who they really are, so yeah! Also, my ask box is always open, so feel free to ask anything at anytime! Val and I don’t bite! Unless you want us too.))

I mean no shit. We just have to be calm about this.

wait. what are we now?

Ughhhh... I think I drank too much last night..

I don't remember anything..

@rickz6725 What happened last night? All I remember was coming home.. A-And why was I sleeping in your bed..?

How do you feel about C-137? I know he's an ass, but how does he act romantically?

Well Rick is definitely someone who doesn’t like to.. show he does care… but he does try romantically.

Plus, me and Rick aren’t in an official relationship yet. We were together for a while, until he cheated on me. Ever since that happened though, we just decided to stay unofficial until he thinks he is ready to get back together.. I try not to think about why he would have cheated on me anymore, but I have to try to not get my hopes up since he could just drop me at any point.. I don’t even know why he would get back together with me anyway..

Anyway, he’s more romantic when we are alone together, or if he’s really drunk. He’ll hold my hand, give me kisses, the whole package when we’re alone together. When we are out in public he’s less show-y about it, but whenever someone stares at me he does seem to get more touchy with me, I’m not exactly sure why he does that actually…

Rick is not the best romantically, I will be honest, but he does try in his own ways! And uh… sometimes his ways are.. very touchy if you understand what I’m saying..

((Hey, this is the actual artist/writer here! If you guys would like me to write some stories about Val with the Smith family, just let me know!! I can also write some more NSFW things if anyone wants to know about Val in that way.. Also, my DM’s are open for anyone who wants to RP, I have a discord so, yeah! Just ask anything y’all want and Val [or me depending on who you ask] will answer even if it takes a while!))

How did you meet Rick and what was your first impression of him?

When he was moving boxes with Morty, he kept bragging about how strong he was.

still an arsehole but..

I love him.

Guys what do I do? Rick keeps trying to give me alien drugs…

Say thank you. Drugs are expensive.

I still am not doing the damn drugs..

have you ever had to switch home dimensions because of some apocalypse or irreversible mistake or somethin?

i don’t like thinking about it much.

Rick took me out on a date yesterday, he took a photo of us at the bar! Thought I’d post the photo he took, even though I don’t look good with my hair down..

Ah, Rick is still passed out from drinking so much yesterday.. He looks really cute.. Might post a photo of him..
