#Generator Rex EVO

[anyoldfandom]

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.

#This is also. Why I dislike the 'Rex was secretly made for the nanite experiments the accident was a lie' theory so much #Bc it assigns malice where the show says over and over again there was only love. #That this was only ever a tragedy of good people whose good intentions were manipulated and twisted. #And I think giving them something shitty to have done in the past especially goes against the message of the show's perspective on adoption #The family we choose is not always stronger than the family we are born to. Sometimes they are equal in different ways. #Rex's bio parents are gone but not replaced. They have also shaped who he is #Six and Holiday are just picking up where they left off. Because they have to. #Also I don't like the theory that Rex's parents are EVOs somewhere bc I think it diminishes the impact of the tragedy too. #I get. Wanting them to have a happy ending. But I think it's important to realize that this is the closest they can have to a happy ending. #Some things cannot be replaced. Or fixed. Sometimes life takes what we love and what loves us. And that is okay. #It is okay to be upset at that and it is okay to never fully move on. #'What about Caesar?' I have. Another post's worth of thoughts about him. #But I think he's also a character who is defined more by Rex by their relation and defined by the story by his guilt #I think he is the closest thing Rex has to a shitty bio family member and he is shitty in plenty of ways #But he's also a parallel to Rex in a lot of ways. He fails where Rex succeeds bc of it. #generator rex #genrex #Anyways. Sorry for the big post.

Silly little comic I made.

#the burnt lettuce part is probably true tbh #van kleiss just seems like the kind of guy who would smell like burnt lettuce #even after he’s no longer literal dirt just figurative dirt #rex actually does regrow limbs he’s like a freaky little mechanical axolotl boy #i wish we’d gotten to see what rex regrowing a limb actually looks like in the show and not just in the comic #it probably would’ve looked really cool and i want to see it #van kleiss probably learned that rex could regrow limbs by nefarious means and rex probably doesn’t remember it #which is probably for the best that man has traumatised him enough #i honestly didn’t mean to have van kleiss deciding to be a dick by giving an answer to noah and not rex #but i didn’t want to just have him stand there in the background because that’s boring #and it somehow fits the pettiness of who he gives information to willingly because it’s not rex and it almost never is #every time i watch the show noah and rex become even more boyfriends to me #also i think noah deserves to get in a dig at vk every once in awhile #like van kleiss did almost have him killed and he had to see van kleiss stabbing rex in the first episode #and van kleiss turned him into an evo once so like #yeah he should get to roast him sometimes #sarcastic unhinged trans noah my beloved #generator rex #generator rex fanart #genrex #genrex fanart #rex salazar #noah nixon #van kleiss #noex #theaxolotlart

good morning all 5 members of the generator rex tag. I am new to this fandom and I have written fanfiction. it is about biowulf having generally a bad day and circe looking at castle van Kleiss and saying 'damn bitch you live like this'

i've been consumed by madness and it's @bambeptin's fault

#generator rex #biowulf #also the bouncer evo is there you know the bouncer evo? #if this is a tonal nightmare it's bc I meant it to be a comedic fic but biowulf had to be obsessed with his boss #they sure gave us alliance and then just washed their hands of it huh! no issues there! certainly this did not have lasting effects

Meta White Knight clearly winning against EVO Black Knight. Thanks for the request @bambeptin!

Explanation + alt versions under read more:

I picture meta wk to kinda have the nanite effect his suit outlook (I do not believe that man would get rid it no matter if he was infected with nanites, meta or not. He is simply attached to his creations.) He has the orange meta nanite specifically (energy and anti-matter manipulation). I REALLY like WK's suit so the idea of it being slightly modified, esp with a meta nanite and the trend of having kinda a robot form with having a meta nanite easily allowed one to go into the other. WK has a lil' cape and something that is meant to be halo like in imagery flowing out from his suit as extra energy/nanites but you know, cool looking.

EVO Black Knight STILL alludes me but more or less in regards of me not having the skills to execute it. EVO BK nanites cannot handle being in her, her becoming an EVO is literally eating away at her body and thus human looking form to reveal the EVO form underneath, which is a gross mangled skeleton and bits of flesh. Nanites literally stripping her humanity away in front of herself to reveal the monster that has always been. Also parts of her skeleton glow neon purple against the more charred remains of skeleton :)

Similar to how I view an EVO WK to be, the initial view of "oh wow, that's all? that's not bad?" to quickly devolve into "oh shit, that's kinda gross and weird representation of humanity viewed threw their own personal lens and how it can be applied to themselves."

Also have the sketches because I liked them and I am forcing you all to see them

#requests are simply a means to abuse fun brushes on csp #also i can't figure out how the fuck to color her how i want to she uh looks a lil nakey im sorry i really am #i will like always be redesigning evo bk it is her fate now #mine #my art #generator rex #bk #wk #black knight #white knight

[yuriinadress]

Me going through the Noah Nixon tag with Bernard tunnel vision: holy fucking shit they're the same character

#notable similarities so far include: #blonde #bestie is a superhero #loss of car due to superhero shenanigans #iconic green jacket #got into some shit with a cult/secret agency #like i cant not make a post about evo tim and bernard now it's too perfect #timbern #generator rex #yuri yelling #bernard dowd

If you could of change one evo design with one would it be how and why + do you like the ending of the show or you are not happy that Rex just deactivated the nanaits.

I presume you're asking if I could change a canon evo design, which one would it be. The first ones that come to mind are Black Knight and The Consortium. They just look way too robotic and play into a lot of the problems I have with the metananites stuff. I have done my redesigns for them, with Black Knight getting her own one, while the The Consortium become a fused Evo.

In terms of your second question, and I am very much not a fan of how the show ended for many reasons, reasons I could list off in an entire rant, but I will contain myself, lol. In general my biggest problem was it felt rushed, was way too crazy for the grounded story the first season planted, and I just didn't like how they handled the end of certain plot lines. Including how Rex handled evos and curing them. Generator Rex presented itself as a more complex show, trying to show things aren't always black and white, and to not take things at face value. This includes evos and how they were presented. The ending kind of sours it, along with ending a lot of unanswered questions in the air.

Okay but hear me out.

What if Generator Rex had adult coloring books?

The problem with starting to think about the Pack more is the fact that now I want to grab Skalamander the same way I grabbed Bobo like. My house now. I want to use your character potential.

#Generator rex #genrex #Just. Ough. OUGH. #Bobo was just a bad use of his potential but Skalamander is just a nothing use of his potential. Very little character there. #But looking at his design I just. Cannot get the question out of my head of 'Is it painful?' #Is he an EVO who lives in constant pain? We see that he can't stop drooling and is blind on one 'side' of his head. #And his tongue flops around when he has his mouth open. His skin stretches and sags in awkward places #It makes me think that he probably lives a pain-filled life and has probably got a wrecked mind bc of it. And then follows VK #Someone who looks at him and says You are not broken. I have use of you. I have salvation. #And with the disability symbolism with Genrex Skalamander also looks the most chronic pain having #Though granted most EVOs with significant body changes probably have chronic pain #I just. Head in hands. Fucked up lizard. How much of his mind is actually still there. #Do you think he has good days and bad days. Bad days where he can't move or days where his mind is more of a mess than usual. #He definitely has to struggle to eat and drink. With no other mouth. #Thinking also in context of Rex Pack AU of like. Skalamander having his bad days and having people who actually care about him #Doing the best they can to help. Bringing him food and water with specially designed straws and utensils #Sitting and talking to him on days his mind isn't fully there so at least he's not alone. Giving him space if he needs it #But making sure to keep a close eye on absolutely anything he needs. #Bc they're one big disabled family and they take care of each other

Me watching the episode “Exposed” for the first time as a kid: haha Rex wants the news station to give him attention

Me rewatching that episode now, coming to the realization that the reason Rex wants so much attention from the camera crew is because he’s been disregarded so many times in his life as nothing more than a weapon and has never received any attention from other people besides Holiday and Six that aren’t negative for so long, which also explains why he’s such a people-pleaser, since he just wants positive attention and be accepted outside of just being a literal weapon:

#everyday I think about the implications of Rex living in Providence #and how ridiculously fucked up it was for a literal child to be there #ah the moral ambiguity of Generator Rex will forever make me lose it #its so goddamn interesting #honestly if it weren’t for the fact that Rex was an EVO id like to think CPS would have Providence’s head by now #its kinda like an X-Men thing but worse since no one out there is really fighting for like EVOs rights as living breathing creatures #the majority of people just accepts the fact that these things are just monster and nothing more #not to say that there aren’t people out there who care about EVOs #there was that one group who kept freeing wild EVOs but that’s also another side of the coin really #they were causing more problems because those EVO were kept locked up for a reason #they’re dangerous and having them out in the wild would be recklessly stupid #characters like Hunter Cain are people who don’t think EVOs deserve to live #meanwhile there also people who would free wild and dangerous EVOs who could definitely kill a human #its just. so nuance and it makes me want to go feral #Providence does so much dehumanization its kinda ridiculous #its fucked up but thats what makes it so compelling for me #maybe I *should* write an essay on this show at some point #generator rex #the fire burns #rex salazar

after completing the first level of the genrex game, where i got my ass kicked, i tried to play the second level and fell down hole and died

Hey~! If you're still doing requests, can you do something with the Black Pawns from Generator Rex?

Thank you for the request! Sorry for the wait!! Besides having a cooler color choice than White's Pawns I personally think Black lets them go a little ham and a lot more accidents results in the "termination" of EVOs.

They just have idk, this thing about them that seems more dangerous under Black Knight and the idea of Black Knight, while going towards a "cure" with so many more resources than White had at the beginning but man! The cruelty is the same, in some ways worse than before White took charge. She lets the black pawns have a lil treat (government sanctioned experimentation and termination of EVOs)

also I the basic EVO design I had in mind fueled directly by my fear of ungulates esp horses, esp esp esp wild horses
