shitposting rave 2, electric boogaloo

Killed people because they were trying to kill you? Sometimes you do what you gotta do, dog. Weirdmageddon taught us about that. But if he's making you kill people because he's getting in trouble that's not cool.

 

I, uh, I would like to stay in my dimension. Life there is okay. It isn't really bad, but not good either.

Well, they did try to kill me and Grandpa Rick and the universe.

 

That's absolutely true, but I am reasonably sure that it's not what my brother was arrested for.

 

Don't worry, I took Morty to an arcade *burps* once. *sarcastically* Or is that really bad?

 

What kind of arcade, Rick?

 

The arcade as in where we play video games and shoot little plastic guns.

 

That was also the arcade where I lived in a VR and you messed with my mind.

 

Not now Morty, the adults are talking. These bozos think they can remove you from me. but they have no idea of the consequences.

 

Pugs, please. Their faces look so squished and cute.

 

That is not okay.

 

Rick, do you even know what I am? I am merely telling the child that if he needs to run, we will protect him. Because we will. Take better care of him. Presumably your daughter lived to be old enough to go into season, so you must know how, but evidently, you are not doing it.

 

Valiska, first of all, my daughter is still living with her idiot husband, second of all, Summer is okay as well, third of all Morty is still living, so I am doing a good job.

 

No, you're not. If you were doing a GOOD job, that child would be a lot happier. "Not dead yet" isn't actually the minimum parenting standard, Rick. Look at that boy. He's got anxiety.

 

Because we don't have it to bring.

Speaking of which, hello Rick.

 

Sounds like a decent minimum parenting standard to me.

 

*scoffs* My parents never even fucking met me, and yet they managed to meet that standard.

 

I realize different societies have different methods of raising young, but... why is it any business of anyone else here how he takes care of (or does not take care of) his own charge? "Not dead yet" is a very important first step, followed closely by "in most of their original pieces".

 

Yeah, this! 'Happy' is like... the third step.

 

...It depends on the circumstances, I'd guess. Magra Qhor was always very insistent upon all her residents' well-being, and did go through with separating families if she deemed it necessary.
On the other hand, Magra Qhor also abhorred conflict of any kind, and might have viewed a lack of verbal or physical altercations as 'peaceful' and 'happy'.

 

...but how does separating a sparkling from their crew make anything better? Either they'll crack under the pressure or they'll mature strong enough to deal with anything the universe throws at them, why would removing their support system help?
