Summancing The Stone (Part 3 Summer Analysis)

My second Summer analysis blog EXPLODED, so first of all, thank you so so so much for nearly 60 notes as of writing this. Moving to Tumblr, I love that people are listening to what I have to say about Summer, it even seems that I'm one of the few people that TALK about Sum-Sum. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Moving on to the main topic with a recap to start us off. In my first blog, I talked about how 'Wedding Squanchers' features the single most impactful Summer scene, despite no dialog from her and how it lasts a few seconds

Going off this scene, I then talked about how Summer felt the need to address her insecurities and 'avenge' Rick, as she blamed herself for befriending Tammy for feeling alone and then causing a chain reaction that tied in Rick, The Galactic Federation, Earth, and the whole family

I forgot to mention that there's a seeming consistency that before this, Summer goes with the norm to survive and if it will make her popular and/or loved

When she turns to Headism, she strives to be the best version of herself and for her parents, stressed when a single flaw slips through the cracks.

In 'Big Trouble In Little Sanchez', although she rides the wave of Tiny Rick for popularity, she at least addresses that Rick is endangered

In 'Meeseeks and Destroy', she uses a Meeseeks to become popular

In 'Rick Potion #9', we see the inverse with Morty trying to be popular and Summer surviving despite the apocalypse happening around her. We also see a theme of Summer loving apocalypse scenarios (which is the basis of Rickmancing the Stone), which I imagine is because she can show her survival instincts skyrocket alongside popularity when the world is crumbling

In 'Something Ricked This Way Comes', she handles working with the devil/Mr. Needful in order to be accepted for her hard work

The point is that Summer wants to be accepted and fights to survive. This culminates in the aforementioned 'Wedding Squanchers' scene, which is also the pinnacle of wishing to be accepted and having to survive being tracked by the Galactic Federation. And on a final note before we actually talk about Rickmancing the Stone, Summer also has a parallel to Morty's narrative (this being a condensed way to put it). Although Morty dealt with the horrifying reality around him from Rick showing it to him, Summer deals with thinking every action results in horrifying consequences and that she is inherently a product of said horrifying reality Today I rewatched 'Rickmancing the Stone'. And holy shit, talk about a Summer episode. It rounds off this trilogy. 'Wedding Squanchers' marks the end of Summer trying to be outright popular and dealing with all her actions and insecurities in one flash. 'The Rickshank Rickdemption' shows how she's done with going with the norm to survive and goes against the Federation, trying to undo all of her actions and saving Rick. Now we have 'Rickmancing the Stone', an episode that highlights how she's lacking empathy and being blunt. It's time to break this beast down and analyze Summer

First off, we see her ignore her dad in the cold open and already want to go with Rick. I know she doesn't ALWAYS address him as 'grandpa Rick', but just calling him Rick also emphasizes this. Considering the previous two episodes, she wants to be close to Rick after almost losing him for something she blamed herself for. I think it also makes sense because Rick is not only someone she admires, but he's family. She doesn't have to 'befriend' Rick, in a way. He already holds her to a regard, so it works. This logic works in the other way too. She already had a rocky relationship with her father, seen in 'Look Who's Purging Now' because she doesn't hold any respect for her father or in any high regard - just like how Rick views Summer. She ignores Jerry and doesn't care about saying goodbye. It's likely because it's pointless - she'll already be seeing him, it's not some final goodbye, and even if it is, she already didn't have him as involved in her life. It's not like when Rick was ripped out of her life, someone who loved Summer and understood her

Of course, Summer is a killing machine in this episode. As I mentioned, she's fighting to survive and reigning supreme, except it isn't entirely for love and her self image. Although everyone knows this scene, the line 'Okay, but not because you told me to' is not just an angered teen saying. It shows she's still against being told what to do and is now showing she won't take orders, but do what SHE wants - such as killing someone because SHE wants to, not because someone else wants it

Strength.

A core part of Summer and this episode is strength. She joins Hemmorhage and his group when he literally says the group is stronger now. Summer is obviously showing her physical strength, but also her mental strength by choosing to push through (as we saw with all three of these episodes). Because after facing all her weaknesses from no love, she tries to overcome it by being strong and somewhat 'selfish' (not in a negative way)

Again, part of that strength is family strength. She parades Morty and proudly displays HIS strength (and yes Morty and Rick have awesome arcs but I'm focusing on Summer, you see the theme of strength). That's because again, she's focusing on the family and the bond with her brother and grandfather. No friends to be made here, just going with her brother and grandfather

The scene with Hemmorhage is pretty good. I think the foundation of her attraction is that Hemorrhage is flawed. Rather than going for someone who's seemingly flawless and makes her swoon (although this kinda goes against her going after Ethan in 'The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy'), the moment Hemorrhage goes on about his insecurities, it's like she finds it relatable and predictable because SHE went through it, just going in for a kiss. This also comes after when he takes off his helmet and she goes on a lil' nerdy rant about mustaches and helmets, which seems to me that it's rooted in trying to show off her intellegence like Rick, but it just shows her passion and trying to comfort Hemorrhage

Side note, I think this robot Summer managed to help Beth call Jerry because of a mix of her old ideologies and new ones, coming together to AGAIN, have her family bond together. Don't forget that Summer was the one who wanted to bring Rick back, people forget how she brings the family together

Let's talk about Hemorrhage.

Summer does not deny that she's still the same and says she's as crazy as when they first met. Instead, Hemorrhage is the one who softens up. She regrets marrying him and can't continue with it, which is going to culminate in an ultimate breakdown of Summer, the past episodes and blogs, and consistencies/incosistencies

Summer has wanted to focus on herself or closer bonds. Rather than trying to make a friend, she focuses on the strength of her nearest family and being aware of how weak family CAN be. Realizing how fragile it is, is why she doesn't care for Jerry and doesn't take the divorce too close. At the same time, this is why she cherishes Rick and Morty for knowing how one wrong move can break this all apart. In fact, this is probably why Night Summer...was the HEAD OF THE NIGHT FAMILY?? Just a thought...

Back on topic. We do see her insecurities pop up in Season 3, but they also focus on family, such as Jerry's girlfriend and how she appreciates her mother trying to connect and help her cope with her body alongside rejection. She's not perfect, but she works so hard to fix these things. Rickmancing the Stone shows that from now on, we'll see a Summer who is at the top of her game to simply BE at the top of her game. It's rooted in keeping in mind that everything is fragile, but she shouldn't mess up and blame herself. She should be cautious, even if this happens as a lesson AFTER she falls to her insecurities and negative thoughts. She's almost THE glue that keeps the family together this time. She doesn't try to listen to authority but herself, which explains why she still listens to her insecurities that linger. Rickmancing The Stone perfectly rounded off this trilogy I'm studying We go from Summer blaming herself for her insecurities and loneliness, realizing she's put everyone in danger even if she is the ONLY one that thinks this

She then tries to make up for it feverishly by bringing Rick back and trying to make her family reject the Federation

Finally, with Rick back, she doesn't let go of him and excitedly shows him how she's changed not just for him but for herself. She holds his respect high and we've come a long way from Rick saying she and Morty are both whiny pieces of shit he can't tell apart. She focuses on being strong, not on weaknesses. I think Rickmancing The Stone is not only fucking amazing in showing this, but the third part in this sequence of Summer's arc that forever changes her character from a mostly insecure teen to basically being a girlboss who just says and does what's on her mind

tldr summer is so cool and people should talk about how they made her cool it's not an accident or thing they randomly put in episodes #respectsummer

Drabble woth an genji and a fellow teammate who can summon a beast?

((A/N: Sorry, this came out WAY more Hurt/Comfort than intended, it is also a little Angst. I don’t think it is what you wanted, but I actually like how this one turned out~))

((Long Post Under Cut))

Genji Shimada

It wasn’t something you were proud of that you can do…

It was a result of some very bad people, doing some very bad things to you, and many many others that you don’t even know how many.

Yet, you survived somehow, and they didn’t.

They told you it was because you were stronger than them and the weak have no need to have this power, but you know now it was because you were a later version of whatever it was they were experimenting with.

You survived because they perfected the process.

You don’t know the logistics of it yourself, but they told you that thanks to some Old War Research that some determined scientists did in the past, they found a way to “tune you into” the “spiritual world” and allow you to call upon allies whenever you see fit.

Two problems arose from this.

One, a price must be paid in order for this summance to occur, and what that price is can vary from beast to beast.

A drop of blood, an internal organ, a human life.

You have paid each price in your own blood, with your own body, and on multiple occasions… with your own friends…

You don’t like to think about the ones you’ve accidentally lost…

You try to only use this ability as a last ditch effort, it is never worth the cost of a life.

Two, no matter the price, it will always come at a cost to your physical health.

It makes you sick to summon, it causes so much strain on your body that you will lay sick for weeks nearly unable to move as you recover from the sheer toll it has on you physically.

You had so many ugly scars, so many tender muscles and never healing bruises on your skin…

Yet, There was a light at the end of this sick tunnel, though.

As you were taken in by the Secretive Organization known as Blackwatch, it would seem the Scientist Moira was able to help quell the cost just a little.

You weren’t sure how, and she wouldn’t tell you how, but now it only comes at a cost to you and not others.

However, It was still a heavy cost for you.

You were lounging now in this bright white recovery room all by yourself, just listening to all the monitors and machinery whirl and beep, as you tried to remember what it was that brought you here… and how much of a cost it was.

You can recall talking to Reyes about a maniac that needed to be stopped and normal means were not effective at taking him down, you remember being transported on a Blackwatch Aircraft and being dropped down into the middle of a mad man’s destructive ranting as he was a literal killing machine that mowed down anyone and everyone in front of him.

You remember getting shot, and you remember summoning something- you didn’t see what it was as the last thing you remember being enveloped in darkness after that.

You’re alive at least, so someone patched you up.

It was probably Dr. Ziegler, she was always good at patching you up.

You felt a need to look over into the only dark space of this bright white room, and you were greeted to a pair of red eyes glaring at you from the eerie blackness that existed in this one particular spot.

You were not as alone as you thought, it would seem.

You knew it was that silent cyborg ninja, Genji, so you felt no panic at the sight of his menacing glare.

“How long was I out?” You ask as you looked away from him and focused back onto the monitors in the room.

“Three Days.”

“Oh, a new all low record- what are you doing here, anyway?” You asked as you began to feel the IVs in your veins itch a little as you fought off the urge to scratch them.

“Observing.”

Oh, Genji, your short answers are oh so comforting.

“Thank you, for doing that.” You said as you reached up to scratch your arm unconsciously, but a swift hand grabbed your wrist to stop you from accidentally ripping out a line and causing more damage than necessary.

“Don’t.” He warned, while leaning in to show you how serious he was about this.

“I won’t, I’m sorry.” You said as he began to let go of your wrist at an agonisingly slow pace, and as he began to pull away, you became aware of just how warm his metal grip really was. That made you a little sad as you felt his warmth leave your small bubble as his grip becomes non existent on your sensitive skin.

“Thank you, for being here watching over me all of this time.” You said as he turned around and went back to his post in the dark corner.

This isn’t the first time he has done this, and with the way this organization works, it won’t be the last.

He tutted in response, as your simple words filled him with anxiety each time you thanked him for watching you.

Every time you have to summon a beast, he is fearful that it will be your last, he was forced to watch your body get ripped apart as a “cost” one to many times for his comfort.

He cares about you.

He doesn’t know why.

The idea that your body will get damaged to the point where repair is not an option, and you will end up having to be in a situation similar to his, where you are more machine than human…

It quakes his soul to the core… and he just can’t figure out why.

AS his eyes were on you again from his makeshift perch on a stool in the dark corner of the room, he felt relief at your small smile as he continued his vigil watch to make sure you came to a full recovery before Reyes even thinks about calling you into battle again.

Promise

Summary: Bucky has always thought he was damned to never find his soulmate, Etkatrina always thought she was damned to walk the earth alone forever. Apart these two have had a cursed existence, but together maybe they came finally see how one word can mean such an unbreakable bond.

Warnings: depictions of torcher

A/N: This gets deep fast, trust me @lovelynemesis

Chapter one:

The quinn jet had an alomst pallable tension as the team crossed the sokovian borders. Bucky reconized this and instantly knew the team had been thrown back into the fight with Ultron. It seemed as if they were competley hollow inside, but as time passed he began to pick up the old soviet bounderies he was forced to learn and quickly guessed they were quickly approching the base along the outskirts of Moskow. As shaken as the team was with the wounds barly healed over from sokovia and the mending wounds from the recent civil war, both physical and emotional, he knew this wasn't going to be an easy mission for anybody, especially since they were dealing with Hydra.

Landing the jet, it seemed was the easiest part, because once landed the team sat frozen in their seats, unwilling to move. It wasn't until Steve stepped foward, that the tense atmostphere began to fade into one of determination. " Avengers". The word rung through the quinn jet, an alomst forgein term to the team now. Everyone turned thier atteition to Steve, giving him the floor. Steve took his time looking at everyone of his teammates before taking a deep breath.

" Our mission is simple. Get in. Free any captives. Destroy the base. Get out. Panther, Widow, and Hawkeye will take the south entrance. Scarlett , Ant Man, and Vison will take the west entrance. Spidey, Iron man and the Iron patriot will cover the east entrance. Falcon, Soldier and I will take north. Go in head strong and rendezvous here" he said pointing at the main room where the electrocution chair was. When he found it Bucky would take great pleasure in reducing it to scrap metal. That machine had caused him to lose too much of his life. He refuse to lose anymore. Looking to the group one more time Steve sent the a subtle nod, and turned to unstrap his shied. " Avengers, take'em down."

It worried him, how quiet the base seemed. The halls seemed to have been neglected for some time now, dust covering everything , as if this place hadn't been touched in years. This on top of the years of wear and tear lead bucky to believe this place really was abandoned. " Cap, this place seems a little empty" Hawkeye said over the coms. "Yeah capsicle, this place is deserted" Tony put in. " Indeed, further exploreation of the base may not yeild any conclusive results Captain Rodgers , No one is here." Vison added. Bucky looked to Steve for any new orders but Steve just shook his head. He had a hunch. " Tony run a full scan of this place. Look for any hidden passages or secret entrences we can't pick up from here." It took a moment for Tony's reply but as usual Steve's hunch was correct.

" SouthEast corridor Cap, near Widow, Panther, and Hawkeye. Theres an elevator switch hidden behind an old portrait. the elevators behind the bookcase." Suddenly there was laughter over the com units. " Could Hydra be a little less cliche. " Falcon snorted. Steve's face went from a smile to sullen. " They are expecting us." The unit went silent. " How" ,Hawkeye inquired, " We didn't even know we were going to be here until this morning durning the breifing?" Bucky's eyes narrowed at the sudden movement down the hall, and glared as the shadow began to take form.

"Steve, we have company". He whispered, pulling his pistols from the hidden holsters. That's when all hell broke loose. Bullets tore through the air, percing the silence that had once consumed the base. Ricocheting off the walls a bullet managed to lodge itself in his shoulder. A small grunt a pain escaped his lips, but that was all the acknowlagement he allowed himself to give the wound. Pain was just an illusion, a self preservatory defense the body concived as part of the fight or flight responce. He shut it down in his mind putting aside all thoughts of the wound, and pushed forward opening up with three sharp recise shots, each finding there victim with percise accuracy.

" We need to get to that elevator." Steve shouted, while simotainously battling with two hydra soldiers. Bucky looked to Falcon who gave him a nod, signaling him to help Steve. The trio faught thier way to the southeastern wing of the base, while somehow miraculously managing to maintain minimal injuries. When they reunited with the rest of the avengers, they quickly assesed the state of each teammate, and upon deciding no one had any life threating injuries, proceeded to activate the elevator.

Etkatrina had never seen her gaurds so paniced. Thier movments were ridged, and they continueously paced the halls, wary of every movment or sound. They had accumilated a thin layer of sweat above thier brow, and could not for the life of them stay still. Not that she could blame them with the sounds of gunshots and screams of pain ringing throughout compound above them. It wasn't until she heard the sound of the elevator coming down, did she allow a sliver of hope to rest upon her heart. The moment the elvator came to a stop her gaurds took aim at the strangers.

They moved as quick as lightning. Flashes of blue, red, black, and gold crossed her vison, but in her drug indued state she could barly make out thier forms. From what she could gather, thier were twelve of them, a team of people obviously well endowed with gifts that allowed them to work well together in combat. So it did not suprise her that they were quick to dispatch all the gaurds on her cell block. When the sounds of gunshots and screams of the gaurds ceiced, she knew the battle was over. What felt like an eternity later, a woman with the most vibrant red hair came to the window of her cell door and gave a small gasp. " Cap you might want to see this." Etkatrina could hear the shuffle of footsteps coming towards her cell door, and suddenly the scent of blood overwlemed her. She let out a shriek as the scent hit her throat and burned away her senses. The footsteps froze. Suddenly a laughter was heard in the hall

. " You think freeing her is a good idea. You have no idea what she is." The fallen gaurd croaked, his face forming a cruel smile as blood dribbled from his lips. There was a single gunshot heard followed by a strangled chocking sound, then a thump. " Buck, was that really neccessary" She faintly heard the one they call Cap complain. There was a small grunted, followed by a sigh from the Captain. The brillant red headed woman opened the door to her cell, and slowly made her way next to Etkatrina, careful of her every move. " She's bound and muzzled, lacerations to the ankles and wrists, badly brusied everywhere else. Cap, I should be able to...." Etkatrina watched as the woman because speechless at the sight of her mark, her eyes growing wide in disbelief. "Steve". The woman yelled turning back towards the door.

A man entered the room upon the summance. Most of his face was disorianted but she could clearly make out the symbol on his chest. She understood the Cap refrence now. The man that stood before her now was none other than Captain America. "What is it, Natasha" The red head, or Natasha as she had just learned, gently unbound her wrist and showed it to the Captain. Etkatrina watched as a smile slowly crept upon his face until it was a full blown grin. " I told him" was the only words he spoke before leaving the room. Natasha smiled down at her while she stroked her hair, and whispered the words Etkatrina had wanted to hear her entire existance. " He's here. He came for you."

Bucky couldnt beleive it, that any of it was real as the truth struck him. After all these years, there she was just beyond that door. Bucky looked at Steve for reassurence, and Steve gave him a small nod telling him it was okay, that he wasn't dreaming. Coming back to himself, he took cautious steps as he made his way into the cell. The sight before him both made his heart swell, and crushed his soul. His body tensed as his mind tried to digest the scene before him. There she lay, his chosen, bound like wounded animal. That itself was enough to enrage him, but what set him off was the muzzle, one just like he had been forced to wear. The moment he saw it, it sent him reeling back to his time as the brainwashed assasin. Faces flew acrossed his memory, each one reopening wounds he had worked so hard to close, each scar hurting worse than the day the wounds were inflicted. Without comprehending his movments, he stalked up to her and deafly unfastened the muzzle of shocking both Natasha and his chosen. He bent down to her level and finished undoing all her bindings, unable to see her like this, like he had been so many times before. It was then he noticed the tiny dots covering her arms, Injection sights. It was the only probable dedution. He followed the trail of dots down all the way to her right wrist, and gently traced he elegent scrawl of her mark with his thumb.

" I'm sorry" he whispered to her in a deaf tone, one so quiet only she could hear. It was the only thing he could say to her. The only thing that mattered was that she understood how sorry he was for letting her go through this, for not getting here sooner. But the moment was ruined the second the scent of his blood hit her. Once again she shrieked, but recoiled from him grasping at her throat in a vain attempted to rid herself of the flames that licked at her throat. Her eyes narrowed at the sight of the wound on his shoulder, and she tried her best not to inhale through her nose anymore. " Knock me out" she croaked to him her eyes pleading with him to comply. T

o say he seemed shocked was an understatement. " What? NO!" he argued unable to comprehend why she would say such a thing. He went to move closer, to comfort her in her pain but she moved further away from him. " If you don't knock me out, then i'm giong to hurt you" she rasped the burning in her throat intensifing at the close range of her chosen. Her eyes flashed red and he recoiled in surprise. She knew her hunger was getting the best of her, but she didn't know how long she could fight it off. " Please, I promise you wont hurt me" she pleaded. He looked at her closely noticing the way her face contorted in pain. Bucky blew a deep breath from his nose, and reached up to lay a soft kiss againt her forhead.

Trusting her judgment, he lent forward and whispered. " Close your eyes." not being able to stand the thought of what he was about to do. She did as she was told, and in a few seconds she went limp in his arms. He picked her up bridal style, cradling her agaist his chest and carried her out to meet the others. He looked to Natasha in obvious distress, guilt for his action clearly displayed. " You did the right thing, she was in pain and we don't know what she's capable of yet. If she believed she was dangerous, then we did what was best in following her wishes" Her words did little to comfort him but it eased his mind for the moment.

" Does any body else feel as if this was way too easy" Falcon asked as they begin to exit the compound. Hawkeye groaned and turned to Sam. " Don't make me shoot you Bird Boy, you never say that on a mission." Tony laughed at the pair. " Come on guys Sams probably just....." But Tony never got to finish his sentence because in that moment an explotion with the intensity of two suns, shook the entire compound.
