*He paused for a moment before climbing onto the bed and breaking down.*

i-im sorry.. *hic* I just- fuck.

*He curled up into a ball. The blood from his nose got on his clothes, but he didn't care.*

i can't fucking do this anymore.

Rick.

He told me to stop using the device he made me to hide everything I didn’t like about myself. Sure, it didn’t hide everything, but it hid most things…

but..

I argued with him about it.

I told him no.

He said I shouldn’t care about what other people think, and he loved me no matter what.

But, I wanna be normal.

I care what people think.

He took it from me.

Now I have to stare at the monster that I never wanted to see again..

Myself.

((Boom, big reveal!

Well, now you guys know what’s under the mask! feel free to ask Val about it!))

I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD IF YOU TOUCH ME AGAIN I WILL FUCKING DESTROY YOU AND THIS ENTIRE GODDAMN PLANET.

*He began to breathe heavily, tears flooding his eyes and dripping down his face. He was trembling. Hard.*

*He stands up, wobbling a little as he gains balance.*

im *cough* fine. I didn't need to run.

*He stares at Val in the object, a look of sorrow flooding his eyes as he attempts to run out of the room.*

Yeah, i- I'll get there sooner or later.. just gotta ga- gather some things before I go. I probably won't even be there for a long while.

Gotta sober up a bit.. my drinking issue is horrible.

Well, I-I got to the hospital a few hours ago.

Val apparently had a h-huge freak out in the middle of the night. The fucking doctors won’t give them their damn m-meds.

M-Morty is here with me too, h- UrrGhh-he was worried about Val. Jesus fucking Christ.. The crash wasn’t even that terrible but they look like they’re in so much pain. I know Morty cares about V-Val, honestly it sucks seeing how bad Morty feels right now.

i also know how val cares about morty, he’s like their own son.

Any-Anyway.. Val’s asleep right now. Don’t wanna wake them up.

Also, @rickz6725 you coming up here at some point? V-Val misses you.

This is something that's been bothering me for a while so I'm gonna post a rant about it. So male abuse victims aren't really shown in the media, I can only think of like 2 that were shown well, which is Hunter from the Owl House and Bojack Horseman from, well, Bojack Horseman. Now I don't watch a lot of TV, but that's still a little in comparison to the female abuse victims I know that were portrayed well. Diane, Adora, Amity (You could agrue that her parents aren't abusive but they do seem emotionally neglectful and that is a form of abuse sooo) Etc., etc., you get the point.

And now we've got Morty, a male abuse victim, and the show just completely ignores his trauma! And it makes me upset! They have this golden opportunity to show a male abuse victim and the effects the abuse has on him, especially since we already see the low self image he has curtesy of Rick, and that he has repressed rage towards Rick, but that's just about all we get. We never see anything more. And it's upsetting, ik the show isn't over yet, they still have 3 more seasons, but I'm just starting to worry. While I love Morty as is, he has so much untapped potential that, if it was unleashed, it would make me love him even more. I just really hope they use Morty more, but I'm scared that they won't explore his trauma because (Credits to @hazelnut-u-out for pointing this out) it would make Rick less sympathetic, since it would be hard to sympathize with an abuser with the effects of their victims being shown, although I would agree Rick could still remain sympathetic since Bojack is sympathetic to many people despite the effects of his horrible actions being shown, I don't sympathize with him but that's for personal reasons.

I just really hope they care less about making Rick sympathetic and more about giving Morty the attention that he deserves and giving our boy justice. What do y'all think?
