Mal rambles about Saw traps while they watch the movies

The text for those who want to read it:

The laser collar was interesting, but it was a trap that wasn’t satisfying as it was too quick and didn’t fit with all the other traps in the franchise. I like the angel trap for its brutality and how it was rigged to be unbeatable, but it felt like a double edged sword as it doesn’t follow the same rules as most traps did with giving the target a chance to get out. I get that was the theme of Amanda’s traps, but it wasn’t as satisfying as any of the others. I’d have to say the reverse bear trap, the Venus fly trap, and the pit of needles are my all time favorites. The bear trap is a classic, it was simple, but also a brutal display that relies on the target gutting someone to escape and if they would do that to live. Additionally the huge amount of pressure from the trap opening would be enough to cause fatal damage, and the pain and shock could easily cause a sudden cardiac arrest. The Venus Fly trap is just like the iron maiden version of the bear trap, but with the way to escape requiring you to gouge out and dig into your eye. It’s an ingenious idea. Do you know how it feels like to even take out your own eye without anesthesia? The pit of needles itself isn’t one that is as gory or as complex as the others, but it’s still one of the more disturbing ones. I mean, used needles? Even accounting if the target has doesn’t have a fear of needles it’s still skin crawling to see needles sticking into the skin and nauseating to think that it’s used needles of all things.

Summer isn't like, totally thrilled about her brother and her grandpa being replaced with imposters but...

It's Father's Day and she finds herself gift shopping on the newly rebuilt Citadel, anyways. Wandering the streets, she can't help but feel like something is wrong with this place. Something sick. And she wants to know if that sickness is in her Rick and Morty, too.

I want to buy a cassette player, but everyone online says that new ones have the durability of wet toilet paper and that vintage is the way to go, but the good ones were discontinued 20 or 30 years ago so they're few and far between and the ones that still work are expensive as hell. We live in a time when you can't just buy a quality product anymore. They simply do not exist. Everything is designed to break and need replacing, planned obsolescence. I want physical media, I want tapes, I want CDs, I want DVDs, I want to own something and know I own it forever.

Excerpts of the Curve

This was meant to be a response to an anon ask, but unfortunately I lost the original draft and the ask along with it. The anon was asking how I thought Morty and Prime would interact if Prime had showed up before c137 even had the chance, and how that would change the show. Warning that this ended up being kinda long, it's a concept I love thinking about.

I think when it comes to imagining what Prime and Mortys dynamic would be like, a big part of it comes down to how you view Prime as a character. Is he a sadistic egomaniac with no regard for others? Or a man who's ego runs so deep he considers himself a God, isolating himself from those he deems inferior to the point you could consider his existence lonely? I personally view him more like the latter.

Honestly, I can't really picture Prime taking Morty on adventures all the time like c137 does. Prime works alone, and I think he'd find Mortys more upstanding morals irritating, especially if Morty tried to get in the way of some of his more questionable research. Some dialogue in Unmortricken seems to suggest Prime views Mortys as what they really are. Kids.

I think he'd find the idea of dragging a teenage boy along with you to constantly belittle and force to do your bidding pretty pathetic. A true genius Rick like himself would have no need for a human brainwave cloaking device.

The way I picture Prime first meeting Morty is him returning to his dimension shortly after Morty is born to make sure there's no way someone (potentially a vengeful Rick looking for him) could use the kids dna to trace back to him. After making sure that wouldn't be a possibility he'd be about to portal away when the sound of the Smiths arguing in another room would cause the infant to start crying. Prime decides to at least get the kid some food to get him to shut up. It is his grandson, after all. He tells himself after he leaves it's just a one-time thing.

Except he keeps going back. He doesn't trust his estranged daughter and her sad excuse of a husband to give the little thing the care he needs. Prime doesn't exactly want the kid to starve. Morty is his grandson, a descendant of his greatness.

As Morty grows he gets used to Primes visits, looking forward to them. I imagine Prime would be more like a cool uncle to Morty than a grandfather, showing up at random times to give him things he found on different planets and telling him facts about places he's been to.

Morty would probably be a lot more confident if Prime had been the one around him instead of c137. Maybe a little too much. Prime would encourage Morty to stand up for himself, giving him shooting lessons and showing off different inventions he could use to get rid of people bothering him permanently.

I don't think Prime could care about somebody without there being some sort of possessiveness at the core of it. The only reason he gained interest in Morty in the first place is because Morty is his blood and he wanted to see what potential the kid might have. He doesn't want Morty to be some timid little thing doing whatever is asked of him like he sees other Ricks force their grandsons to be. No grandson of his is gonna be a meek, pathetic lapdog. That would be an insult to Prime's genius dna flowing through the kids blood.

Eventuallly after Morty asks enough times about going with Prime to a different planet, Prime gives in and starts taking him along for simple adventures (at least, simple at first). It would play out similar to the actual show, with Morty being absolutely dumbfounded and terrified at the sort of things he sees whilst Prime treats it like a regular tuesday. The most noticeable difference would probably be that Prime wouldn't belittle Morty as much as c137 (except if the kid tried to get in his way), and Morty would be more confident from the start and probably start to like the mayhem a little more. Mortys morals would eventually start to deteriorate like we see in canon, possibly even faster due to Prime's influence. He'd definitely start to grow more distant towards his other family members and people in general.

But still, I don't think Prime would take Morty with him all the time. He works better alone and having to cater to Mortys needs can be a nuisance when he's trying to work on something. I can picture him requesting Morty to help him in other ways instead, like fixing up his weapons and repairing some killbots.

I'm a fan of the idea that c137 pretty much let the earth in Primes dimension go to ruin on purpose. But if c137 never gets to meet Morty in the first place in this hypothetical au, that would never happen. Prime especially would have no reason to destroy Mortys home. He wants Morty to respect him, there's no point traumatising him like that if it will make Morty fear him and not want to be like him. Because then Morty would end up just as mediocre as other versions of himself.

You could have a lot of juicy drama with Morty finding out that Prime killed every single version of his grandmother throughout time and space. He'd probably start to question Prime a lot more and wonder if he's becoming like him for the worse. It'd be especially fun to throw c137 into the mix. He'd definitely be a lot worse off without Morty in his life. Hell, you could make him into an antagonist always searching for Prime, posing a threat to the duo.

I hope this makes at least a bit of sense. I'm sad we'll probably never see the two of them interact, but in a way imagining it yourself is the fun part. If the anon that sent the ask is reading this, I hope it didn't disappoint.

There was a game that was never officially released before apparently shutting down that was called Rick and Morty Clone Rumble, and I'm only hearing about this game now despite the promo stuff being from 2020. 😭 It had some really fun-looking models and levels, and some Ricks I've never seen before!

WE SERIOUSLY MISSED OUT ON THESE RICKS. 😭 AND THE MIAMIS WERE IN THIS! Miami Morty has a hot pink bat as a weapon!!

Here's a look at some of the level environments:

"kids don't pay attention in class anymore Because Of Phone" is so funny as an argument. students haven't paid attention in class since school was invented. my parents' generation were in there making flipbooks out of the corners of their notebooks and doodling random shit instead of taking notes. and they didn't have phones.

Evil mfs

I've been wanting to do designs of my own Evil Rick and Evil Morty, I had a lot of fun with 'em :)

"Erick" also known as "Evil Rick" "The near embodiment of those corny and cheap evil mad scientist tropes." - "Mal" "Mal" also known as "Malice" or "Evil Morty "Wants to come off as the mysterious and cool rebel, but he's just like a cringe theatre kid wannabe emo." - "Erick" They are part of the same Curve as the Primes of the rp blog. || @imaginary-grandpa

I don’t think this thing knows it’s alive. It has been described as a “half-croissant” by a friend.

I had no idea what I was doing when I was drawing this creature. I was just looking at sea bunnies and sugar gliders.
