Kinda rare for it being sand, just floating there.

Appropriately recreated the Justice band symbol in the last shot.

It's Stuttering Light, by Chad VanGaalen.

Thought it would be cool to share here

I discovered it this year and it took me right back to the 2010s of the show

I have a theory that not only the Morty clone factory, but also the Central Finite Curve were both created so that Rick could survive.

He said he needs the Morty brainwaves to disguise his own and to protect/hide himself from people who want to catch him or go after him.

However, Morty is intelligent, as we can see from evil Morty; and in Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind, Rick says "Just don't get too big for your loafers, Buster Brown. A cocky Morty can lead to some big problems. Can be a real bad thing for everybody.".

Evil Morty is also portrayed as clearly arrogant in Unmortricken, to the point that he's wrong sometime even if he's realized his intelligence. In other words he's a cocky version of Morty that Rick tries to prevent Morty from becoming.

My theory is that an arrogant and self-actualized Morty always led to Rick coming close to not surviving. So, Rick has to continue to be an asshole to Morty and keep him thinking that he's "stupid"/keep him in check, keep him subservient, and keep him from becoming self-actualized, so that Rick can survive in general, or to find the Rick who killed Diane and avenge her, which now he's already done.

Self-actualized and confident are maybe some things that Morty does become in other versions of the infinite universes, which Rick had experienced before if he was lenient with Morty.

In that case, a self-actualized and confident Morty either led to: a) Rick's downfall or close to not surviving; or b) prevented him from looking for his wife's killer. Or maybe another reason we have yet to see or learn.

So, he had to create the Central Finite Curve of all the universes where he's "smart" to keep Morty from becoming self-actualized and confident, so that he can survive and/or look for Rick Prime.

He had to make Morty clones as well to keep him surviving, not just hide himself. But...I guess those serve to hide the other Ricks, not c-137 since he doesn't have a clone Morty as far as we know.

Rick deep down feels bad about having to do this to Morty just so he himself can survive. Which is why he gives in or listens to Morty from time to time; and why he let evil Morty escape; even let Morty decide for himself whether to go with evil Morty or not, because he still cares about Morty as his grandpa.

So it's not about vanity or plain selfishness (him being the smartest man in the universe), my theory is that it's about... survival and avoiding his own mortality (which we already know he does in one way or another, by cloning himself or shooting himself with anti-aging serum). Keeping Morty "dumb", and keeping the Central Finite Curve in effect. Also the mega seeds might have something to do with his intelligence, as other people on other posts pointed out (he said he's put the seeds up his ass too many times in the pilot episode, and there were mega seed farms on the citadel).

Evil Morty doesn't pose an active threat to Rick that Rick is aware of, because all evil Morty seemed to have wanted was to escape the Curve. Though, we don't know what his real motives are.

What do you think?

Ryan Ridley has plugged on a podcast that he's coming back and working on Season 10. The season has reportedly been written and is currently in production since late 2025.

He's a writer and producer on the first three seasons of Rick and Morty, and he's the first writer Dan and Justin ever hired for it and comes from a long collaboration with them.

He's also known as the writer for the evil Morty plotline episodes "Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind" and "Tales from the Citadel".

He's credited as writer for the following episodes: 

"Lawnmower Dog"

"Meeseeks and Destroy"

"Close Rick-counters of the Rick Kind"

"Ricksy Business" (with Tom Kauffman)

"Auto Erotic Assimilation"

"Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate" (with Dan Guterman and Justin Roiland)

"Look Who's Purging Now" (with Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland)

"The Whirly Dirly Conspiracy"

"The Ricklantis Mixup"/"Tales from the Citadel" (with Dan Guterman)

"Morty's Mind Blowers" (with Mike McMahan, James Siciliano, Dan Guterman, Justin Roiland and Dan Harmon)

Including among other scenes he's said to have written the Szechuan sauce and the Morty experiences true level scenes from Season 3.

He announced it on a podcast. And it's a major OG writer and producer.

(With some research I've suspected that Rickmurai Jack is based on him leaving, and Unmortricken on him consulting)

And it's not J.R., but someone very involved who left before that, when J.R. was still on the show as the creator.

I haven't found if he's involved in season 9 yet though.

I'll post the podcast clip in a seperate post.
