I absolutely love Ricks character development. It's the type that keeps you on the edge of the seat, wondering if he'll do the right thing or not. When he does, it's super satisfying, but when he slips into his old habits, you want to yell out in frustration. Throughout the seasons, you notice subtle differences. His yearning to better, but he thinks he doesn't deserve it. It's easier to be the piece of shit everyone knows you as.
I think with the newest episode, we can see he is really trying. Rick went to therapy on his own because he was finally able to admit he needed help. I think that was a huge step. Rick has struggled with admitting the fact that he needs help, so much so that he would rather suffer than show that weakness.
I also want to point out how much I love Dr. Wong. She is one of the few people Rick actually respects. When he first met her, he tested the waters on what she'd allow him to get away with. He shat on her profession and tried to dig at anything that would potentially hurt her to make himself seem bigger. His efforts were useless. She didn't lose her stoicism and calmly explained the situation. She is one of the few people Rick can't provoke, nor make them feel inferior to him.
Dr. wong isn't afraid of Rick. She doesn't bat her eye with whatever insane cosmic bullshit Rick brings to her. He was a pickle for Christ's sake, and this woman wasn't fazed what so ever. I feel like Rick likes the fact that she isn't scared of him.
She'll set clear boundaries with Rick and correct him whenever he crosses them. The craziest thing is that he responds well to it. He, in facts listens to what she has to say. Even though he is the 'smartest being in the universe', I think he feels safer to be vulnerable in front of someone who doesn't depend on him, nor have any sort of expectation. She is well aware that Rick is a nillistic asshole, but she also knows there's good underneath it all. Rick has all sorts of trauma that he refused to process, hence the drinking and substance abuse. Dr. Wong could be really good for Rick. She's someone Rick could confide in with no judgment or ridicule.
i think it’s interesting that a lot of people’s takeaway was that mortys great fears were ricks actions or ricks self destructive tendencies or his selfishness, because i think the hole showed us the exact opposite of that. like, these are all things morty fears, sure. and for good reason! but they’re also all things morty already knows he fears, these are fears he’s already faced, and has already conquered. hes been abandoned by rick, he’s watched rick succumb to his own self destructive tendencies, he’s seen rick reject happiness and he’s been replaced by rick over and over.
morty is afraid of rick’s suicidal tendencies, but he also knows that rick would never sacrifice himself if it meant sacrificing morty too.
while the hole is taking morty through avoiding facing his greatest fear, it’s showing him what he expects to see. which is everything revolving around Rick.
Morty’s greatest fear isn’t that he doesn’t matter, to the universe or to Rick. his biggest, unconquered fear isn’t that Rick will let himself die before accepting happiness, or that rick will let him die, or choose a fantasy over him, or even abandon him.
his final, greatest fear was his own reliance on rick. and he doesn’t conquer it by no longer fearing it. he conquers it by letting that reliance go.

happy ten years of evil morty for all who celebrate
alts + step by steps under cut
#this is way too good
something about the person you remember me as vs the person i've become
silly questions
right person, wrong time
#its about breaking from trauma cycles goddamn I love Evil Morty
Evil Morty just being a normal Morty who finally snapped is SO much more gripping to me rather than "Oh yeah, uh he was just evil from the start whatever." No he was one Morty who snapped. Who had enough. Literally any Morty could become Evil Morty at any time when they finally had enough
silly questions
