Let’s just pretend I said something profound about Rick’s ability to heal the physical injuries he causes, but not the emotional ones; something about how all of his rays and gadgets and genius are useless when it comes to how he’s scarred people the most; something about how the only solution he’s ever found is to erase the memories of the people he’s hurt, and how that does nothing but make the hole he leaves in his wake wider, emptier, and more agonizingly pointless.

Someone should write a fic about Rick using his robot parts to accommodate his autism (robot eyes dim the light if it feels too bright, a voice projector when he doesnt want to speak, ears able to filter out background noise if it's too loud ect) and him forgetting how much he struggles with shit and giving morty a hard time when he tries to deal with overstimulation and morty calls him out on it and so they bet to see if Rick can last without his accommodations for a set period of time and Rick just has the worst time trying to pretend he's fine because fuck morty he can't admit he's wrong but also not dealing well after years of his accommodations helping him
Preferably him ending in a meltdown and having to admit he's being an ass to morty and helping out his grandkid accommodate for his own needs

so, I love analyzing the body language in this show. and bless the animators for always giving me a lot to read into
I’m far from the first person to point this out, but Rick often freezes up or moves away when someone touches him or comes too close. He does this pretty visibly when first meeting Birdperson
But something I haven’t been able to stop thinking about….
Later, when he asks Birdperson to come with him. When he finally is actually reaching out for him, both physically and emotionally ….
Birdperson takes a step away.

Campaign Manager Morty
I mayyy be splitting hairs here, because Evil Morty had exactly zero qualms over killing literally every Morty in the Citadel to escape and, even worse, over having hundreds of poor, innocent, deformed Mortys whipped during his times as president (it's like he put up a nice façade but was still internally seething and had to make someone suffer)--
--but what he did to poor Campaign Manager Morty was especially heartless, and it's always very painful to see it unfold, no matter how many times I re-watch it.
It's just that Campaign Manager Morty was so good. He had integrity. He had courage. He took it upon himself to murder his evil ex-boss to protect everyone else, even though he knew it would be a death sentence. He could have tried to leave the Citadel when he found the truth about EM, to save his skin, but he decided to act instead on behalf of everyone living there. When they brought him to the air-lock chambers where he'd be executed, even though he could tell what his imminent fate was, he showed no fear of death nor regret over having to face the repercussions of (what he thought was a successful) assassination. He was okay with throwing his life away for everyone else's sake. He only wanted to explain to the people executing him, that this was a good thing, that they weren't missing anything by having their favorite candidate executed. He had to explain why he did this. He wasn't evil, please understand...!
And when he found out that his ex-boss was still alive, his face filled with panic, because at that moment he knew that him surviving meant EM would be seen as a poor innocent victim, and this assassination attempt just made things worse.
And then he finds out that Evil Morty is still alive and panic takes over completely, even though he had nothing to win or lose any more. Even with his last breath, he tried to warn the others.
His death was truly tragic. He was a good Morty, undeserving of that fate. It was one of the cruelest things Evil Morty has done.
I mean, EM killed everyone, but he knew this Morty personally. He set him up. And he picked him for this very cruel fate because Campaign Manager Morty had the integrity to voice his honest (and negative) opinion on the campaign's chances of success. Which, if EM listened to him and left the race, would mean Campaign Manager Morty would lose his job. Campaign Manager Morty was honest enough to say to his boss something that would result in him losing his job.
Which in turn meant that EM knew Campaign Manager would have the guts to put himself in a self-destructive situation, if it meant "doing the right thing". EM knew (or at least took an educated guess) Campaign Manager Morty would act to protect everyone else, that he was a fundamentally good person, and still, not only killed him, but set him up for a very, very cruel fate, over trying to do the good thing and having it backfire completely, over losing all hope.
And today it hit me (again, I may be splitting hairs, because it's not like EM has a moral bar anyway) if one more reason EM did this completely heartless thing was... because Campaign Manager Morty was actively demoralizing him?
I mean... think about it. Evil Morty looked very smug in those sequences (I actually remember thinking "what a moron" at that scene XD):
He already knew what to say in the debate and how to act to gain support. He had the confidence that he could pull this off.
But he didn't know he would pull this off. In fact, he barely won ("almost close enough to trigger a re-count") and this was with him getting himself shot and gaining votes through sympathy. If he hadn't arranged for his assassination attempt, he would have lost. He must have watched the polls closely, weighing his chances and deeming them Not Good Enough at that point.
And... he had given it his all to this attempt to take over the Citadel. By making himself a public figure, he invited scrutiny on his person (whether Trenchcoat Rick was hired/manipulated/mind-controlled by EM, or honestly stalking EM we have yet to see, but it's not unlikely someone would decide to look into this particular Morty more closely). I mean, they asked him his dimension number in an interview and he deflected. They could have kept pressing into his past. This whole thing risked blowing up to his face. And even if it didn't, if he lost the election race it'd be unlikely he'd get another chance like this one. He had to give this his all, he had to make it work, no matter what.
Evil Morty, who defaults in hiding, in making himself look harmless, in disappearing in the safety of the crowd, was desperate enough to make this work that he put himself in the metaphorical frontlines, turning himself into a public figure, getting himself shot, having to put up a permanent nice act to all those people he despised, in the hopes of freeing himself one day in the distant future. He may have been confident that he could pull this thing off, but actually pulling said thing off couldn't have been easy for him.
And there was obviously no one actually supporting him, because he had no friends. Sure, other Mortys supported "him", but not really. They had no idea what he really had in store for them. They didn't want him to win, they wanted the "nice Morty Candidate" to win (duh).
Any self-doubt, any emotional wavering, any exhaustion, he had to deal with by himself. Any cheering up, any hope, any courage he needed, he also had to provide himself, so that he could escape what he viewed as the unbearably horrible fate of being trapped in the CFC.
...And on top of that, when you are giving this your all, when you are at your most desperate to make this work because your first plan already failed and you might not get another chance like this, imagine having your own campaign manager telling you "no, actually, you won't succeed. Give up. Give up. Give up."
...And he sets up his Campaign Manager over giving it his all to make sure everyone else escapes a very horrible fate, only to make him watch himself fail, to force him to face the desperation he kept (unwittingly) insisting Evil Morty should resign himself to.
...I don't know if I'm overthinking this, but Evil Morty's treatment of his campaign managed suddenly felt a lot less cold and heartless and a lot more furious and vengeful.
(I will still mourn Campaign Manager Morty forever; he was the best Morty)
#prev tags u r making me gag#(in a feelings way not a bad way)#evil morty has so so few attachments and relationships. I think even tho he rejects the entire concept#he wants them. ugh. spinning in my grave rn

Imo, people don't talk about this scene from "Promortyus" enough. Rick flat-out admits that he never goes on the same adventure twice because he doesn't want to see the damage that he caused.

This man is an alcoholic
[Image id: digital portrait of Rick Sanchez. He taking a flask out of his stupid coat and has a judgy half monobrow lifted expression. There's a green light on the right half of his face changing the shading. ]
