Stan is No Doubt the Type of Lover to Pretend to be a Christmas Present Just so He Can Spend an Entire Day in Bed with Fidds

Stan: Hey, Honey Bunches?

Fidds: Hmm?

Stan: Ever hear about the tradition where people open one of their presents on Christmas Eve?

Fidds: Well, I can't particularly say I have, Oats.

Stan: I'd be willing to show you, if you'd like.

Fidds: Stanley, how do ya plan on showin' me how to- *Notices Stan is Suddenly Shirtless* Oh. Oh... I s'pose I wouldn't be opposed to lettin' ya show me.

Stan: Yes!

I am actually. I am so emotional over the Salazar parents and I need to share this to tumblr too.

A lot of stories where the MC is adopted I feel. Either dismiss the biological parents and the impact they have on the kid's life, or makes them evil and abusive, framing the loss of the bio parents as a good thing, or at least something we shouldn't think about just look at this new family.

But Genrex doesn't do that. From the start, Rex wanted to find out more about his parents - it's one of his primary character motivations, next to helping people. He loves them, even though he doesn't know them.

And the more he finds out about them, the more he realizes they loved him. Rylander is consumed by guilt but as Rex's first connection to his pre-Event life, the first thing he does is hug him. And when he tells Rex about his parents, the two things Rex knows is that 1) they were scientists, and 2) that when he was in danger, they were desperate enough to use their secret, experimental technology to save him. Technology built from their desire to help the world, to save countless lives and end countless suffering.

And then. When he finds out that they were dead, he doesn't stop caring. It'd be so easy, too, to tie it up there - his parents were good people, he got his answer about them, the end. But they don't. He doesn't. Because the show is saying once again that they are his parents. He still calls them mom and dad, even as the show makes it clear Holiday and Six adopted Rex as their son. Even as the show even parallels Six and One with Rex and Six (and I will talk about that more later if I don't forget, trust me), to really drive home how much they're family. Rex even says he considers the two of them family, and later that he considers Noah, Claire and Annie family.

He has new family, the show tells us, but his old family still matters to him. He's upset that he never has the chance to meet his parents, that everything he hears about them, about his time with them, is secondhand knowledge. It tells us clearly that not only does Rex still love them, but that he still wants to know them. And everything we find out about them reinforces the love that they had for each other.

We see Abuela and the family in Mexico, who connect him to his birth family and tell him that he was so loved back then, and still is now. We see their office in Abysus through Rex's eyes. The picture of him and his dad on his desk. The drawing Rex drew, proudly pinned to the wall.

We see it in the familiarity of the drawing. That that robot, that build, was what Rex created when he was lost and scared and alone - that it was made to keep him safe. That it first appeared in his mind in a place he felt safe.

The show says, tenderly and softly, that the love is still there. That the fact these people died was nothing but a tragedy, that their love is a big part of what made Rex who he is today - that every molecule in his body is filled with their final gift to him. That every time he cures someone, every time he uses a build, every time he makes a machine - we see the love that they had for him.

And the way he quietly absorbs his father's face. The way he freezes and whispers "Mamá?" when he finds out Zag-Rs has their mother's voice. The fact that she even has her voice as a testament to Caesar's love, too - that it was meant to bring comfort and safety. The way Rex yells at Caesar when he finds out they have a family property, a connection to their past, the way he fights to protect it.

And, none of this takes away still from Six and Holiday being Rex's family too. None of this removes the work either set of parents did for him, the love either set has - the show says that it was unfair that the Salazar parents were lost. That Six and Holiday are not replacements, that they still love him as parents but play different roles in his life. They can not, and have no desire to, replace the Salazars. But Rex needs parents, he needs protectors, and so they will do what they can for him - at first out of necessity, to keep this kid they barely know safe, but then out of love. They aren't replacing what was lost, but are doing their best to do what Rex's bio parents would do. And they do mess up in it - they mess up in ways Rex's bio parents might not have. Six is clearly bad with showing affection, affection we saw the Salazars give Rex so easily, and Holiday is overworked and stressed constantly, sometimes breaking under the pressure and snapping at Rex and Six, things we never saw the Salazars do.

It's just. It's about how sometimes things will not be the same. They will be different. That doesn't mean the people you lost aren't still with you.

Realistically I do not think Roy actually proposed to Keeley in the canon timeline but I do think there’s a non-zero chance he had a ring.

Noelle was creeping into the mayor's office and while looking around for extra Christmas decorations... oh hoh ho ho ho HO.....! (She found the giant red button that says "Eternal Winter" on it)

Apparently someone had tried to cause an eternal winter some few years ago...

And they added the "Eternal Summer" button just in case someone ever pressed the first button again. Anyways, Noelle decided that the eternal winter button would serve as a backup-plan for another day.

Mooncrew all being at Sector J during Op Holiday is that yeah these kids deserve a break but that’s like four of the highest ranking operatives in Global Command including THE Supreme Leader. Who did they leave in charge of the KND while they were gone

Going to Turkey soon and am quite (very) nervous because I have heat intolerance and every day it’s going to be at least 29 degrees with a uv index of 9 (which I have never experienced?? that can’t happen at this latitude). Everything I wear in summer is either linen or cotton so I know I’m okay on that front, I wear spf 50 every day in summer here anyway cause I’m ginger so will be very on top of that, got a hat, just have to buy a tonne of chewable electrolyte tablets… 🫡

Hiii I'm going nuts rn trying to find a specific fic - it's an office setting, vegaspete centric, Pete worked for Kinn and Vegas had a rival company. Pete winds up working for Vegas but he almost gets fired for working for the rival company first. Vegas and Pete meet at a mask night in a bdsm club at the beginning I think 🤔 if anyone has any idea what it was called or who wrote it I would be so grateful!

Hmmmm, i'll admit the premise seems familiar but I'm drawing a blank! It's definitely not something I've recc'd before but the mask night at the BDSM club both narrows it down and doesn't - you'd be surprised at how often VegasPete ends up at mask night at the bdsm club.

So once again I'm going to have to pass this one on to my followers to help track down - If anyone can think of which fic this might be, please leave a link in the replies or send me an ask!
