#beth and rick stop talking to each other sometime before diane dies so he doesn't learn she died until he reinvolves himself in beth's life

anyway thinking about diane rick and morty

#random thoughts #guess what motherfuckers it's blue man time #have not seen the new season btw im too lazy ANYWAY #i really like the idea of diane being dead and rick being fucked up having nothing to do with each other #i think rick should be really fucked up about diane being dead but in a 'i didn't care about her before she died why should i care now' #kind of way? like him not caring about her death is a symptom of him being super fucked up #i really like the idea of beth being the result of a teen pregnancy because it runs in the family ig and that's why rick hates jerry #so diane's pregnant and their parents made them get married because that was the trend at the time #loveless marriage exacerbated by rick's rickness which leads to rick dipping a few years in #working 'abroad' or smth idk #he eventually leaves for good when he finds out diane cheated on him and he realizes his life is a fucking telenovela #diane marries the new guy (beth's new stepdad!!! she hates him) and rick keeps up correspondence with beth #to sow seeds of discord #beth loves her distant space dad and hates her mom and her fucking stepdad #beth and rick stop talking to each other sometime before diane dies so he doesn't learn she died until he reinvolves himself in beth's life #beth has an older stepsister named rebecca (becky) #and a younger halfbrother named bandit #she hates becky cuz she's a bitch and hates bandit because she viewed him as a replacement for herself #she absolutely bullied the shit out of bandit but he idolizes her #golden retriever energy. she says jump he says how high #becky was like an older teen when their parents got married and beth was like? four? they have no relationship at all #(diane and the stepdad got married pretty soon after rick dipped btw) #i have not named the stepdad. he remains nameless in the show for comedy purposes and because beth hates him that much #rebecca was like a redhead poodle skirt wearer despite being a teen in the mid-70s #(their hometown had a mid-70's fashion reversion to the 50's it's not important) #she was homecoming queen bee cheerleading captain girlfriend of the quarterback who she married and had 2.5 kids with #bitchy pta wasp mom with a beehive haircut #bandit is in an emotionally abusive relationship with his girlfriend who is an artist (beth meets her and is like 'oh god what did i do') #bandit was also treated like a showdog by his parents (hence the name) #little tykes child pageant star winner. his parents fed him dog food and kept him malnourished so he'd be smaller and pass as a tyke
