Ngl, after seeing the newest episode, I immediately started headcanoning them as dating. (Rick and Morty's interactions this episode were *chef's kiss*!) You're definitely not the only one who got the "they've totally fucked" impression

Anyone else get the feeling that they have totally fucked before this episode or is that just me?

What did you think of the kiss scene?!

Holy shit.

Just as I thought they would, the creators of Rick and Morty are going to extreme lengths to accommodate for a significant part of their fandom, and challenge people that say they can't condone or express this kind of affection in their show.

In any other show, it wouldn't have as much meaning: but R&M is infamous for the many, many allusions to a sexual relationship between Rick and Morty. From strip clubs run by Mortys for Ricks, to a very open approach to sexuality by the two specifically, and to the ever referenced "irrational attachments" scene, Rick and Morty challenges the line of familial love. This is something particularly common in other huge shows like Big Mouth, GoT, etc, and is often reflective of mental/emotional state, politics, time/where, etc.

In Rick and Morty, it is all of those things.

Mental and emotional state for the obvious mental struggles Morty has vs the emotional immaturity of Rick, politics through a citadel that has no option for sexual release than the only two people occupying it, and time/where because of the multiverse.

Moving onto my personal opinion, it was masterfully worked in. Rick is a character that is slowly becoming more open to receiving and giving affection despite feeling weak for feeling the need - the kiss was a nod to that as well as a nod to the fans who are keen on what Adult Swim is selling. For me, my interest lied more in Morty's reaction.

I love Rick, but it's an escalation (nod to my last discussion post, squee!) of an already established theme of him getting smashed out of his mind and then seeking affection from specifically Morty. But from Morty, we see acquiescence. A lot of the time we see Morty in shock, or angry at Rick for getting blackout drunk and invading his space - but him doing what Rick said, while not new, isn't something we see often in this situation.

Morty doesn't like Rick getting blackout drunk. He gets angry and belligerent and attempts to exert his sober influence over Rick in whatever way possible. But in this situation, Rick gave Morty a choice:

"Kiss me - on the lips or on the cheek but you have to kiss me" is exactly what that scene means.

Morty isn't given a choice in regards to giving Rick a kiss - but he has been made an active participant in how far he goes. How he chooses to kiss him. In setting the pace. In complying, but only to a certain degree. The new question, contrary to my last opinion post, isn't about how far the creators will go:

It's about how much more Rick can ask of Morty, and what choices Morty will make.

Edit: Tumblr messed up the formatting, the screenshot is supposed to be at the top, not in the middle of the text. Hopefully I've managed to fix it now, but meh, Tumblr's buggy.

I've not been tricked/fooled at all - I know full well C-137cest isn't canon, and likely never will be. Maybe let people enjoy things and celebrate their ships in peace?

You know, since Rickmorty isn't your thing, and those who ship it and other similar ships disgust you, you could always blacklist the damn ship tags and not interact with any posts involving the ship ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ We're all responsible for curating our own online experiences. I tagged my post appropriately; that's my job done. It's your job to blacklist, block, and avoid the things you don't wish to see.

(I was hoping to use a more respectful tone in my reply, but your "duhh" broke any hopes of that.)

There are multiple objections that could be brought up to your point of "They were making fun of the fanbase duhh", including: how on Earth would you know what the people who worked on the show were thinking? But I don't have the spoons to elaborate.

However: Rick and Morty are not real, and so cannot be harmed in any way by people shipping them. Nor will any real people be harmed.

But, most importantly, perhaps you should get off your high horse :/ Rick and Morty is a show about a selfish killer scientist who's an almost total asswipe, his useful-for-cancelling-out-brain-signals grandson, and the rest of their incredibly dysfunctional family. The show is full of disgusting stuff, both visually - the Cronenberg world/creatures, for instance - and morally - like the fact that Rick was perfectly willing to help Morty essentially roofie Jessica, or that murder spree of Morty's on the Purge planet.

It's also a really good show C:

I don't condone relationships like Rickmorty IRL, and I never will. But I'll ship whatever I like; your disgust of me has no effect on my life or on me shipping Rickmorty.
