what are your top 5 rio moments?

Wow. Everyone knows how obsessed I am with my main man, Rio. He’s one of my all time favs, definitely top 5 characters across my history of fandom. Honestly, the question is more like what Rio moments don’t I like. 

Okay! I’m going with my intuition. In no particular order:

1. Rio’s apartment and 20 questions. 

Oh my godddd, can you believe we lived before this scene??? Some thoughts:

Our boy wears cashmere pullovers? I still cannot believe. 

His closet overall... he keeps pictures of his parents or grandparents (???)  in there. Ugh, my boy. There aren’t necessarily a lot of Mexican folks who have access to pictures of their ancestors, so it definitely inspires questions as to what Rio’s class background/family immigration story is. 

He’s a confirmed art-heaux?!?! 

He likes the color GREEN!?!

He’s a cute doting dad who purchases jumbo hamburger stuffies for his sweet angelic child who apparently knows how to clean his room. Does Rio pay someone to clean his house or is this level of meticulous just his Virgo/Cap moon coming out to play? 

He has a record player and not a tv. Like wow, my hipster millennial spirit transcended. 

He has copper cookware. I just- I cannot. I burn. I kind of want him to adopt me? Idek as what? Like I’m happily partnered but do I want him to be my baller, sexy af boyfriend? Obviously. Do I want to be his best friend who he invites over for bougie dinner parties who armchair diagnoses his lack of success in romantic relationships? Absolutely. Do I also kind of want him to be my rich dad? I mean... yeeeah. He’s really got me fanning myself over here on this copper cookware. 

We also learned that there are not any significant others worthy of display. HMMMMM.

And his bedroom has no walls. 

Wild. The whole scene, even before he’s actually in it is wild. I’m a Libra y’all and the fine-living details in this set are just so much for my heart. 

And then he actually fucking shows up. I think about this scene ALL the time. 

2. Can I just pick 2x09 as an entire moment?  Rio letting himself be lured to Beth’s house for sex (It’s lonely at the top, the heart-eyes at the bar, “what am I doing here, Elizabeth?”, ALL OF THE GAZING, THE KISS, fuck, even the break up???). 

I guess objectively I can recognize that the above is potentially five separate moments. Oh well. 

But, the layers of mounting vulnerability in this episode were wonderful. My heart still hurts for him. It hurts for Beth. I love these moments where we seem him vulnerable and intimate. 

My sweet prince you are  in love  deep feels with someone who has only been in one very shitty relationship. The last time our girl went on a first date she was probably 15. She doesn’t mean to be an asshole, sweetie, also, I know you just had a lot of sex made love~~*** lol you troll that came back to bite you and it’s what you deserve  but she still doesn’t think that you like her. I love the transparency of want and feelings mixed in with the layers of misunderstanding and miscommunication in this episode. It’s so dumb and wonderful. 

3. Intimidating killing? Gil

Everything about this scene was A+++ to me. I love watching Rio at work. I love watching him be boss with someone besides Beth. It’s great to get information about who Rio is independently of Beth, but it also helps shade in just how nice he is to her, and what’s unique to their relationship. 

But yes, give me twenty more gratuitous scenes of Rio being a smug king pin, please. 

4. That S1 scene at Cloud Nine

The hoodie

The straw

The sass

Getting called a bitch

Rio in a playful scene with ALL of the good girls? 

Again, can we get twenty more iterations of this scene? Please? 

I love these early scenes before the show fully picked what they were going to do with Rio’s character and he comes across as so young and playful. It’s delightful and I love the way Manny/the show have found other moments to carry that forward. 

5. The bar scene where Beth says she lost the pregnancy

Rio’s so raw in this scene. He’s exhausted, and vulnerable, and suddenly thrown into feelings of grief. He’s grieving the ridiculous situation they’re in, being fully faced with a future where he kills Beth and it hurts him now that he’s been reminded of her humanity and how much he legitimately used to like her. He’s kind of devastated in that scene? The emotion on his face is so rich and such a nice counter beat to the fierce anger and resentment in Season 3.  Manny did an incredible job - the scene is magnificent.

Honorable mentions:

Rio being his most petty, terrible self at the clinic. When he fake smiles at Beth in the waiting room, it’s not his sexy smile, it’s a particular brand of hateful and condescending and I LIVE FOR IT.  

The last Rio scene in Season 3 between him and Beth in the empty showroom. That level of chemistry between them and the quick resurgence of the emotional investment from Rio, the flirting... My boy, I ship you with Beth 1000% but sweetheart, what are you doing already genuinely liking her so damn much? Please, never change.  

The break up in Season 1 <3 This scene is such a treat. I love that they gave it to us so early. 

#this came up in my notes and made me smile #I miss him/them/the show #rip

my favorite genre of man is one that is head over heels obsessed with his love interest that he can barely be in her presence without screaming crying or throwing up

[septiembrre]

#its so nice to take a break and then have years worth of fanfiction to catch up on #and reread old favorites
