happy belated birthday to my beloved @thedragonemperess

Thinking about Lab Rats as I often do. What would sleeping standing upright in their capsules do to their bodies after... what 20 years?? That can't be good for their knees. Did they have to sleep standing as babies, or did they transition when they got old enough? How did Donald train 2?3?4? year olds to sleep standing up? Did he strap them in until they could do it on their own??

wdym this isn't how lab rats vs mighty med went

Something I’ve always liked about Lab Rats, even back when it first aired, is how untraditional the family structure is. Not only is the family a mixed race, but is also blended family.

Once you add the idea of Donald being the biological uncle of Adam, Bree, and Chase it doesn’t take away from Donald being the father figure to the trio and they don’t start calling Douglas ‘Dad’. Donald raised them. Douglas even moves in and he’s more like uncle to Leo and the trio despite being the biological father. Going even further, Donald is father figure to Leo yet Leo never calls him dad. In fact, the trio doesn’t call him dad either. Still it’s very clear that Donald is the father figure.

What is even more interesting is how quickly Leo and the trio accept each other as siblings. It’s never step-siblings or adopted siblings, it’s always brothers and sister. This happens in like episode 2. The fact that Leo and trio are siblings are never questioned by anyone. It’s just accepted, even the villains.

Tasha from what we see from the show is quick to accept Adam, Bree, and Chase as members of the family. She even seems to pretty okay with Douglas. Granted, she never really interacts with Douglas, but we are never given any reason to think she has any issue with Douglas.

I think Daniel even adds another layer to this messy family. He’s sibling no one knew about, but calls Douglas ‘dad’. It always felt to me as someone trying really hard to fit in when calls Douglas ‘dad’. It’s implied that Daniel has an adopted family that he is very close with. Still, everyone just accepts Daniel as family right away. Daniel is interesting, unexplored, and underdeveloped part of the show.

The only person who has an Dooley-Davenport Family as unit is Rose Dooley aka Leo’s grandma/Tasha’s mom. She doesn’t like Donald all that much and seemed a little freaked out by Adam, Bree, and Chase. She never interacted with Douglas as far as I remember(correct me if I’m wrong). The narrative of the show frames this as wrong point of view. Rose is always has to learn the lesson that Donald and the trio are family and good for Tasha and Leo.

The Dooley-Davenport family is messy and confusing from an outsider’s point of view. There are tons of people in real life with confusing family structures like this. Some people are raised by grandparents or uncles or family friends. Sometimes, people can be close to cousins like they are siblings. Families are messy, but that’s okay as long as there is love. That’s really why I’ve always loved the Dooley-Davenport family it’s messy and non-traditional like so many people’s in real life.

rip quality

[rumoredtoexist]

does ANYONE HERE like LAB RATS??!?

[bananaactivity]

I did it…

“Do I Look like Him?” X Lab Rats “Avalanche”

.

Yeah sorry buddy you guys are twins 💀💀💀

I guess this is canon to my AU but ignore how evil Dougy looks, he loves his children/ niece and nephews actually.

Before he started being all good and stuff Chase spent a long time staring at himself in the mirror. He looks a lot like his dad, he acts a lot like his dad, in another timeline would he have been a lot like dad? Maybe that timeline is this one. Then he gets over that cause I love when characters are happy, not a total perfect happiness, but they have an overall good outlook on the future ya know?? Unless it’s Descendants tho, gotta stay stressed over there.

Bonus: non lighted pictures of the twins

Feel free to ask me stuff! I miss asks….

[psychicbluebirdmiracle]

Only lab rats can have a character actually say the line "*gasp* ITS EVIL UNCLE DADDY" and have it make complete and total sense

[eatmarcus]

trans! the whole family!

bi! the whole family!

help! this whole trans family!

nevermind! HELP! this whole queer family!

[kohakuts]

Yes... Why?

Wait, we forgot about our iconic boy.

▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀

Just bonus. I love him.

[lettingthoughtsflow]

i'm just going to leave this here and think about how marcus was literally an android who was created to destroy others and his character deserved more development.

if they had fleshed his character out more and decided to give him a redemption arc, it literally would've been a "idk why i bite" kind of thing because he was literally programmed for destruction.

[tootalltech]

realized yesterday that i very much still have this lab rats clip just. easily accessible on my phone. so here’s one of my favorite moments from the show that kind of kills me but is also just a little funny

[ephemeralst4r]

i think it would be really funny if the guitar marcus smashed actually belonged to douglas. marcus comes home like oh yeah i had to smash your guitar into the ground so i wouldn't blow my cover and douglas is just standing there yelling youWHAT

[davenweenie]

Lab Rats got Bree’s character totally wrong like after the first eight episodes. She was raised in a basement with all boys and as someone with an older brother who basically raised me and my older sister, it definitely rubs off on you. Wrestling with your best friends, throwing each other around, loogie contests at the river and just roughhousing in general. Where is ‘raised around boys’ Bree? Where is ‘struggling to fit in with girls your own age because you were raised only with boys’ Bree?

[sinceisawviennaa]

this whole scene is so silly to me. i know it was meant to be funny but the idea that kaz, who if i remember correctly has like 50 siblings, has no idea how to act around a baby is so odd. you’re telling me that this boy who would have done anything for his baby brother to think he was cool is actually an absolute goof with kids? you’re telling me that chase davenport, smartest man in the world, gave his all when doing one of those fake baby assignments, doesn’t know how to pick up a baby? also i love how william unger was a father in real life for pretty much the entirety of the show, he actually had to go out of his way to pretend like he knew nothing about kids.
