The Battle of Blood Ridge | Rick and Morty | adult swim

[NatashaZooks]

The saddest part is that memory rick says he doesn't love bird person, which means that bird person never noticed that Rick loves him

[jaredfranklin]

Bird person really shows his intelligence in this scene. He seems to grasp and fully accept that rick can jump realities with very little explanation, and asks the next obvious question of "why did you help" and then immediately points out rick contradicting himself in real time. It's obvious why rick respects him

[Kentrc]

Rick tells Birdperson he matters to him even though never else matters, & Birdperson tells Rick their friendship is cringe. Such a relatable moment.

[beaniepq]

"This relationship isn't worth my integrity." Damn, what a line. Birdperson is essentially saying that he has a completely different outlook on life than Rick--that shit does matter, like his homeworld, his family, his friends--and he won't betray his own personal values by going on nihilistic adventures with Rick. But it's said in such a blunt (I mean, he always is), devastating way. Basically Rick was shot down because of a difference in values...feels bad man.

[FirstLast-cgnk]

So, what hurt Rick wasn't the fact that he lost a lot of good friends that day, but because he was rejected by his best friend. Rick wanted to go on reality-jumping adventures with the one true friend he had, but Birdperson wasn't comfortable with it. It is hard to blame Birdperson on that, given that was just suddenly dropped on him right after an intense battle where he lost good friends.

[filipvadas]

I love how young Bird Person didn't like the idea of him and Rick being too attached, only for him to be one of the few people in the universe to genuenly understand and care about Rick decades later

[ionceateapinecone]

It hits the feels pretty hard when you remember, Rick can have any Birdperson from any of the universes, but he wants *his* Birdperson.

[NtFoundo]

regardless how you look at it, rick confessed his feelings to birdperson whom promptly shuts him down. platonic, romantic, neither or both, that still hurts bro.

[daikaijukris]

I think what also speaks to their relationship is Rick has a softer tone when he rejects him. He doesn’t call him a fucking moron or idiot or something in line with something Rick would say that usually comes out super callous and rude. He calls him a “judgemental dork”

[justifiedcorn]

“Even though nothing matters?”
“Okay… You matter, to me.”

This sums up the tone of Rick’s entire character in such a heavy way.

[ACatNamedOrwell]

Rick outright says “because you love him” even Rick acknowledges vocally his feelings for his best friend. One thing he really does seem to struggle with but when it comes to BP he has zero hesitation. He was absolutely destroyed when BP was shot at the wedding and was even more distraught when they saw what the federation turned him into

[notarmchairhistorian]

Rick can actually be friends with anyone. Remember that toilet episode? Hes not an entirely unfeeling supreme genius. But because of his constant rationalizations, it always spurs him on to do things that excite him and to despise mundane things. Like a drug addict addicted to the high. And Rick knows it. Thats why he always tries to bury his emotions because when he gets too obsessed with something or someone, he goes all nuts crazy imagining all the possible things he or they can do. Rick is a man trying to catch the wind with his bare hand. Thats what makes his life so sad.

[hahahe]

is nobody mentioning that even rick’s manifestation is calling him out on his ego and he does NOT like the idea of growing up to be him?

[UrbanLegend]

When you then see Rick's full backstory, Bird Person's rejection hurts all the more. Since Rick was healing from the grief of losing his whole family.

[idiomasentusiasticos]

The “because you love him” actually shocked me when I first watched this. This was the first time in the whole series we hear Rick say that he loves somebody, not as a joke, but sincerely.

[TheSummoner]

This remix of the main theme deserves to be released as an stand-alone track.

[delink]

it's funny how all of the three Ricks in this scene had the same thought about Bird Person, none of them felt bad for him for being offended by Rick's proposal, in fact, they all thought he was stupid for doing so.
But only the older Rick, cared about BP.
Rick's complicated with his emotions and motivations. This episodes shows how selfish but how kind he is when it comes to the people he cares.

[audreym]

what gets me is that Rick could probably find a universe where Birdperson does love him back but he clearly cares about this specific version of him- even if he rejected him, based on what he said to his garages ai: “yeah, run off to find a version of my best friend that suits me, thats not how this works.”

[kalebwe]

Rick: "Come with me"
Birdperson: "to...somewhere nearby?"
Best lines in the whole episode

[threeholepunchjim]

2:16 I like that detail that Rick had to look around to see if anyone else was there before saying that Bird Person mattered to him.
