The final meta and headcanon post of this short series is here! This was prompted by @zenmasterspalace / @buckybarnesisnotafuckingvillain ~
One of the many constant jokes in t70s is the question, “From where is Fez?”, a question we are NEVER, not even in extra material, ever answered.
We are told Fez’s country is an island and people’s phisical appearence and accent changes from where side they are from. In season 8, we meet Fez’s best friend from his country, who is blond and has a different accent.
Fez came as a exchange student to the USA, stayed with religious foster parents until he finished High School and his VISA expired. We are told around this time that he is, in some sort, his family’s hopes and dreams, since they expected him to become someone in the USA.
This has give most fans the idea that his country must be a third world one, probably with a poor family and very native costumes as we are told every racist joke of the show.
Between the laugh track, we can hear Fez has a little sister and both his parents are still together, and alive. He doesn’t seem to register when people makes fun of him for his accent, culture and color until it’s make too obvious like it happens in season 5 when he meets the racist parents of his girlfriend Nina.
Fez, to me, comes as proud of his origins even when he has admitted he wouldn’t go back to his country. As a part of a third world country myself, I can understand that and seen from the context of the time, the USA was, and still is to some, the dream for kids that grow up with nothing.
I believe Fez still loves his family, but has lost most contact with them. Seeing his old friend in season 8 prompted him a desire to go back home and see everyone. He ultimatelly decides to stay because of Jackie *rolls eyes*, but he misses home and again, I can find myself in that feeling.
My headcanon for Fez’s family and country is that he misses the island dearly and tries not to show it because if he does, and someone makes him talk about it, he may end up crying or wanting to go back home.
He saves money to one day visit again and has the dream of bringing his siter to the States so she can have better oportunities, too. Once he starts working, he starts sending money to his parents and tries to mantain contact with letters and a phone call at least once a month.
The relationship with his parents is one of respect, he appreciates the sacrifices both did for him and sometimes feels like he has no way to give them back all they gave him. He is closer to his mother and is very sweet with her.
Fez is also a sweetheart to his little sister, she is the light of his world and the first love of his life. He is protective of her and only wants what is better for her.
He also has a looot of uncles and aunts, and cousins, and grandpas, and grandmas, and in-laws. His family reunions are quiet the event, but he enjoys it more once he gets to visit them at least once a year.
Also, he is godfather of half his nieces and nephews.

He promised his sister he was going back to their country before leaving, even when he knew his parents intentions were for him to never come back all along.
As the years goes by and the calls are less, and so are the letters, Fez knows he would love if he could take his sister out of their country too, but also knows it may be a titanic work.
He is still trying.

At the begining, he didn’t like the english language. Not because he thought it was bad or boring, but because he hates having to change even his language to have a chance. He was very young when this happened.
Nowadays, he loves it. And he ends up teaching it for free to immigrant kids like him once he is an adult, this is something he likes a lot.
