Random Thought about season 4 finale

rick and morty season 4 episode 10

Is Rick Sachez a bad parent? 

In the grand scheme of things, Yes, but in the season finale of season 4, No.

Let’s paint a picture, after being called out on his sh*t by his family rick is left alone rewatching the memory of the aftermath of season 3 episode 9 called “The ABC’s of Beth”, where he offers Beth a chance to be free and explore the universe and leave behind a clone to stay with her family. At the end of that sequence of events, rather than make her own decision, she pawns it off on her father to make for her. 

So he did what he thought would be best for her.  Then he Russian rouletted his daughter and her clone.

That line near the end of the episode keeps ringing in my ear quote ‘ holy sh*t I am a terrible father”, but at that moment and for this decision, he wasn’t. It felt like a healthy conclusion for both him and beth. I can’t wait to see what happens next after this with rick’s depression and loneliness getting worst.

I also loved the composition of these scenes from the music, script, choices of camera placement and movement for emphasis plus the subtle acting.

Check out this mash-up below.

Bunny Plushie

My first crochet amigurumi bunny using this tutorial.

Well, I thought it was going well but I guess not. I think I lost track of how many chains or stitches there were, seems to be a common thing for me 😓 because I am not sure how this went so wrong. I think this pattern may be a bit too hard for my current skill level but I must say it was a good try 😄.

This pattern called for the use of a magic circle, which is my first time doing it. I did it so many times and ended up making multiple slip knots, even so, I managed to get there in the end.

After kinda getting the hang of the magic circle, I ended up noticing that I had made some mistakes when moving onto the next step of the project. The body of the doll was too small, and the head seemed to be misshapen. Then I ended up creating 3 versions of the doll’s legs as one of the legs was too small. Another thing that stuck out to me was the large gaps in my work.

I am still unsure of what caused this but hopefully I will find the answer. Nevertheless, I have decided to pause this project and find a simple one to practice with.
