He's grown so so much since season 1, I feel like a vulnerable conversation talking about Diane isn't too far away.

(sorry for the shitty quality)

The Monkees promoting Head on the West and East Coast in 1968: (photo 2) “Hatchet [The George Washington University paper] Reporter Diane Smith stays on top of the news, ready to pounce on the Monkees’ Peter Tork. Photo by Ickow” (The Hatchet, 1968); The Monkees and Carol Doda at Bardelli's Restaurant, November 1968.

“[T]he Hatchet was invited to a promotion party for their new movie, ‘Head,’ at the Madison Hotel in downtown Washington. […] Finally they arrived. Gasp. Sigh. [Micky] couldn’t make it. Peter Tork, with a heavy beard, white leather pants, a sash, beads, and psychedelic shirt, sauntered in and shouted, ‘OK, everybody up and at ‘em!’ He seemed to have been drinking, but it didn’t smell like it. Columbia executives and photographers started arranging the people, posing the Miss Heads and Monkees for pictures. Everybody was flustered. […] While Peter was flipping popcorn into his mouth and draping his arms around the girls, Mike Nesmith and Davy Jones said nothing, smiling occasionally. Davy, all 94 pounds of him, could have passed for a 13 year old. Then we started talking in earnest to the boys. Someone asked Mike about his philosophy of life. Another asked Davy if he liked Schwinns or English racers better. Meanwhile a WAMU reporter with a tape recorder corner Peter. ‘Peter, would you said Whenever I’m in Washington, I listen to WAMU radio.’ ‘But I don’t,’ Peter answered. ‘That doesn’t matter, just say it.’ Then they started asking him about the movie, ‘Head.’ ‘It could really be a smash or it could really go bad-phoooo-blup!’ he explained. Then he takes about one of the Monkees records. ‘Well we have two versions of that song. One is four minutes long and the other is about one and a half or two minutes. The shorter one is supposed to be a lot better.’ Then about college. ‘I’m trying to unlearn everything I know. Knowledge clutters up the mind and makes it unfit for meditation.’ Then Peter asked the ‘Head Girls’ why they dressed up so prissy rather than hip. They explained that Randy Swartz told them to. He asked who Randy was and everybody pointed to him. ‘Oh, well, no wonder,’ Peter said. Later as Peter was discussing a rock group he had seen in New York, Cat Mother and the Night Newsboys, Randy came up to him and whispered in his ear. Peter scowled at him and said, ‘I wanna meet you outside later — and bring your brass knuckles.’ Randy smiled weakly. Meanwhile, Miss Head of Maryland, obviously considering herself a new Marilyn Monroe, arrived and one of the photographers asked her to sit on Peter’s lap. She complied, fluttered her false eyelashes, and as everyone held back his vomit, flashbulbs popped. Then the photographer posed Peter with the three Miss Heads. Miss Maryland Head, doing her best to remain inconspicuous, innocently fingered Peter’s beads. Nobody got a picture. ‘Could you do that again, honey?’ the photographer asked. She again complied. Meanwhile, Randy was cornering each of the Miss Heads individually and was saying, very discreetly, something like this: ‘Say, honey, we’re having a screening and a cocktail party afterwards with the boys. Sounds pretty good, huh, would you like to go? The boys would really appreciate it.’ Then Randy came over to Peter and said ‘We’re gonna wrap it up in 15 minutes.’ ‘We are, huh,’ Peter said. Randy smiled weakly again. Just before the Hatchet contingent left, Peter, seeming to speak for all but Miss Head from Maryland, said, ‘This is the most insane thing I’ve ever been to. It’s hideous and worse.’ Randy Swartz, mastermind of this promotion scheme, tried to ignore the comment. One of his boys was making trouble.” - ‘This is the Most Insane Thing…,’ by Brian Cabell, The Hatchet, November 18, 1968

“We wanted to do something special. Something a little extraordinary. Something not quite normal. We really didn’t want to make another episode of the television show. I saw the movie of McHale’s Navy, and it was absurd to watch an hour-and-a-half version of a half-hour episode. Basically, you didn’t get a sense that there was anything else going into it, they just wrote a longer script. The four of us, Bert Schneider, Bob [Rafelson], and Jack Nicholson all went to Ojai and talked about what we did and didn’t want. We sort of found a common ground. What exactly that was, we wound up leaving to Bob and Jack — the exact script of the movie was basically their idea. […] Basically, the movie Head is not the story of The Monkees’ release, it is Rafelson’s idea of who The Monkees are. Nobody comes off too good in this movie. If you look carefully, Davy gets called a Manchester midget greenie, Micky is a blithering space case, I am some Indian wise man’s mouthpiece who doesn’t know what he’s doing, and Mike is a con man. That’s because Rafelson is a cynic — he has a low view of life, and he doesn’t mind spewing it in your face. He thinks life sucks, and if you don’t think it sucks, then you’re a fool. The movie is not pure bad by any stretch. But finally, the point of it is pretty grim. The way Head ends is, if we’re not trapped into a black box, we’re trapped in a mobile pool of water.” - Peter Tork, Head 1994 CD liner notes

Y’all I forgot Morty saved that rat in the vat of acid episode.

And that time when he asked Rick for a device to understand animals ?

And the fact that he was the kindest person in the house to Snowball ?

Like imagine spending most of your days with a (so-called) nihilistic asshole who kept repeating how NOTHING matters AT ALL in the universe. People, feelings, governments, battles, wars, whole planets, whole galaxies don’t matter because they exist in an infinite way or whatever. Imagine seeing so much and YET still caring about the smallest creatures !! I’m in tears this kid is so pure and kind wtf.

And on another (but related) point that drives me insane : the fact that the understanding-animals-device was similar to Diane’s master thesis ??

Like Rick keeps saying that Summer reminds him of Diane but what about Morty (and his love for animals) ??? Details like that make me look like an insane person whenever I tell ppl about it irl but also they’re why I enjoy rewatching that stupid show over and over and over.

#Rick and Morty has taken over my life it’s not even funny anymore #anyway I need to scream about how Morty deserves better #he’s such a nice kid ??? #this is a morty appreciation post #rick and morty #morty smith #diane sanchez

Okay here’s my Rick C-137’s childhood headcanon. TW abuse

so I’m p sure his parents are rich, and I love the idea that he went to private catholic schools. His parents were neglectful, and his father was downright awful. I think his father talked to him very similarly to the way rick talks to morty. Back when Rick was a kid abuse was MUCH more normalized (like it was still illegal, but ykwim) so he definitely got “punished” more than the normal kid. I think when he was young he was mostly obedient out of fear of his father, but as he grew he became much more defiant. He got into arguments with the nuns about god and even got into physical fights. I think his dad died unexpectedly when Rick was a tween, and Rick never got to tell him how much he hated him. He didn’t know how to let out that anger, so he turned to alcohol, drugs and crime. His mother was constantly bailing him out of jail to “keep up the family’s reputation”, and rarely even talked to Rick. Rick couldn’t handle it anymore and he left, his mother never bothered trying to find him, she didn’t even notice him leave. Rick dropped out of hs and drifted around doing god knows what until he met Diane. She took him in and helped him get clean, they eventually fell in love and she made Rick forget about his past, until she died. Rip queen fly high

This is all just off the top o’ my dome, so if stuff about his past has been said just pretend with me

"Fear No Mort" was constant whiplash. In fact, I struggled to evaluate this episode at first because it was one twist after another. Throughout the episode, I had flashbacks to "M. Night Shaym-Aliens!" (the rap scene might've been a direct reference) and the Rickbot reveal in "Ricktional Mortpoon's Rickmas Mortcation."

For better or worse, season seven's had a lot of callbacks and episodes that mirrored previous ones: "That's Amorte" played out like "Mortynight Run"; "Air Force Wong" brought together Dr. Wong, the president and Unity; "Rise of the Numbericons: The Movie" was a "Get Schwifty" sequel.

Seasons six and seven have also piled on the fanservice. The first four seasons stubbornly refused to give us what we want, dangling fan theories or a gentler Rick in our faces before yanking it away. Rick started to change in season five, but it's another ten episodes before you get Rick in a suit and tie, Rick announcing that Rickcest is canon, Rick regularly going to therapy, Space Beth joining the family and other content that's floated around the fandom since 2017.

And let's not forget the big one: C-137 Rick and Morty, Prime Rick and Evil Morty in one episode, fighting and teaming up after we saw Evil Morty's once-forbidden backstory.

Some call it cheap thrills, but I call it a gift to the fandom that's patiently waited for the fakeouts to end. And now that I've said that: "Fear No Mort" was one giant fakeout.

But was it, though?

This is the most unpopular opinion in the world, but I'm not invested in Rick and Diane's relationship. As a gay woman, I just don't connect with opposite-gender couples. Also, I dislike the trope of the idolized dead wife that the audience only learns about through her widower. She's not her own character, just an extension of the male protagonist.

When the fake Rick and Diane reconnected, I thought "Oh boy, this is getting cheesy." They're falling for each other again: check. Rick feels guilty about her death: check. We see how similar they are: check. Rick doesn't want to leave: aaaand, check.

I'm also a little lost after the ending. Morty was the only one in the hole, so why did we see all these scenes from fake Rick's perspective? Was an NPC really that busy?

How much we learned about Diane is debatable, too, since Morty never met her. I guess his ideas came from whatever Rick's told him and maybe the ship's voice since she's based on Diane.

I did like how the episode kept reminding us that Morty's still in the Fear Hole. I mean, we didn't know that, but we knew that. No "Are they in the Fear Hole or not??" until all the twists in the third act.

Aside from that, I don't want the show to revisit the past too much because Rick needs to let go. If you're a Marvel fan, you saw the backlash to Steve Rogers traveling back in time to spend a lifetime with Peggy in "Endgame." He had a life in the present, but he refused to move on.

Nostalgia makes us yearn for earlier years, but if Rick abandoned his family to live with Diane in another reality, I wouldn't call that a sweet ending. I'd call that a disappointment and a waste of his character.

Turns out, Rick never had that option at all.

Well...in a way, he did. And when Morty told him what he saw in the Fear Hole, Rick ran back to the restroom. He looked into the hole. He thought about it. And then he did what I wanted him to do, which was walk away. In this moment, he chose the present.

Admittedly, Morty's fear came true: Rick didn't jump in the hole after him, he did just sit there and watch, and he didn't want to say that Morty's irreplaceable out loud. Plus, Rick was bewildered when Morty hugged him. But for the first time, instead of standing stiffly or gently pushing him away, Rick started to hug him back.

We also saw what Morty didn't: Rick smiling to himself after hanging up the picture of Morty that he kept in his wallet. He had the chance to wallow in shadows of the past, but he didn't take it. Rick chose him.

"Fear No Mort" could've ended with Rick just saying "Let's go" and leaving, but it didn't. Seasons one and two Rick would've bitched and moaned about Morty taking so long. Season three Rick would've left him there for a while to torment him. Season four Rick would've found a way to take advantage of this.

But seasons five, six, seven? That's real character development. That's what all the Twitter users saying "Wow, Rick and Morty is actually good" have been missing out on.

And for the first time in the series, a season didn't end with Rick relapsing or getting a (well-deserved) ass kicking. Is Morty going to get the grandfather that he deserves? Or will he move on, too, now that Rick's releasing his iron grip? Speculating is fun, but for now, let's focus on today.

RICK AND MORTY S7 EP 10 SPOILERS

THIS EPISODE WAS SO GOOD! My favorite part is that we get more of a look into who Dianne was as a person.

I always thought that she was smart or was at least a lover of science like Rick was, considering I don’t think it’s likely Rick would have married someone who didn’t share his love of science.

We’ve been able to get hints before of what her personality might have been like through Ricks Garage:

and Ricks Car:

Both have been modeled after Diane and use her voice and both of which have always been sassy or sarcastic towards him.

We also know that Summer reminds Rick of Diane as he’s said twice before in S6 Ep1 and S7 Ep 7 and we all know what Summers personality is like lol

We’ve now gotten the best glimpse at what Diane was like and a hint of what Ricks job was before he invented portal travel:

It’s seems he might have met Diane

1) while he had been working for the government and she may have also been a scientist employed by them

Or 2) she had been arrested by the robot that Rick had built while working for the feds.

(Either way both options are funny)

We see that Diane went to university and received a masters degree and probably loved science like Rick did

We see how her personality is similar to his when they join a drinking contest together, but also how Diane might have been more of a “party person” than Rick was when they were in college.

(I mean this episode suggested she was arrested by a law enforcement drone Rick built)

Considering how she comments on how he used to be a “lightweight” and later on tells him that “her dying made him cooler” (suggesting he didn’t used to be the drunk unhinged man that we’ve become so accustomed to seeing him as) we can assume that she was probably the unhinged one

IN CONCLUSION DIANE IS A SMART AWESOME BADASS WOMAN THAT NERDY YOUNG RICK FELL HEAD OVER HEELS FOR BECAUSE HE THOUGHT SHE WAS COOL IN THIS ESSAY I WILL-
