(Its beau btw lol main blogs be damned)
hey beau ily /p <3 tysm!!
RAY MY BELOVED!!
ray gives me massive ‘my childhood was awful but my i will give my children a better life’ vibes so based on that alone, here goes nothing
(potential tws for: grief, loss, childbirth)
ray’s mother died in childbirth and his dad was... not the best. things weren’t bad but they were never good. ray mostly kept to himself and stayed out of the house, staying late after school to work on projects. ray and his dad could smile at each other. and that was that.
consequently he was /really/ good in school. he got okay grades to begin with but ray dives headfirst into anything he sets his mind to and is quite adaptable so picks up skills really well and eventually gets so good at most subjects that he volunteers to tutor people after class
ray’s reliable and caring and any kid that has ever needed tutoring completely respects ray as much as humanly possible and always smiles or nods at him when they pass in the corridor, regardless of any stoic appearances
ray’s gentle. he could defend himself and he’s proved that he’s capable in doing so. but he would really rather not. ray’s also really good and staying on people’s good side for as long as possible so attacking and defending is never really necessary
ray met rose when they were both working as servers in a diner to help cover the cost of college photography classes or band expenses. they’re the youngest of the waiting staff and bond quite quickly, often trading shifts last minute so that rose can attend that performance slot that opened up last minute at the bar down the street or so that ray can pull an all nighter to finish an assignment or portfolio
ray sobbed the entire time rose was in labour with julie. obviously it’s a very emotional moment but rose is in so much pain and he hates it
he then proceeds to sob for about three hours after the birth because julie!!
(the exact same happens with carlos)
he loves making dens with the kids. the whole bottom floor of the house is taken over by pillows and blankets one morning and rose just sighs and resigns herself to crawling amongst the materials to go and make her morning coffee
ray makes the best! breakfasts! he even makes the pancakes into smiley faces or hearts or stars etc when the family have important, exciting events that day or need an extra boost
in conclusion:
ray molina my beloved <3
