I adopted 2 lab rats at the end of november. It has been a lot of fun to see them figure things out. Todag they finally found out they can sit in the pink fluffy sack. They look so cozy🥰

i definitely read this somewhere a year ago and im regurgitating it but
i absolutely HATE the way that spike slowly becomes a chill dude, albeit slightly unhinged, but stands up for his friends and is chill around women to a raging misogynistic asshole by the fourth season. we get four spike appearances and they literally just show the decline in his alter ego throughout the whole show. first season, spike literally puts together a football team (and counts bree in as an equal which he would NEVER do by the fourth season since women are so delicate omg). and they work as a team! he’s not trying to impress anyone and is just kinda vibing. season two things go downhill slightly but not by much. he really only fights perry and tries to make a few unsuspecting students eat it. again, he’s regarding perry as his equal (even though the show may say she doesn’t count because she’s not what most people would consider a women). third season really ruins the whole character and gimmick. like it’s already devastating enough that chase is stressed out enough on his date with sabrina for spike to pop out and then spike’s actions just make it ten times worse. like he’s never shown any inclination of needing to “woo” the lady or stupid gender norms in general. like it’s actually so disgusting watching him “flirt” with over the top pet names and trying to impress her by beating up adam. his motivation is to take care of the threat which is infringing on him (in this case, adam) NOT complete the side mission of ogling women. fourth season is the absolute worst spike episode, and not just because i literally stopped watching the show for 5 years solely because of it LMAO. here, spike is a full blown misogynist and there’s no beating around the bush anymore. like after being set on kate or spikette to turn her back, he merely starts flirting with her and then proclaims that he doesn’t fight girls. AND THEN when spikette and bree or now spikerella are ready to duel, he’s like “this should be good. everyone knows girls can’t fight.” and it’s meant to be this offhand remark that eventually gets shot down at the end, but the way they went through with it pisses me off so much. AND EVEN CHASE AT THE END IS LIKE “I guess girls can fight, who knew?” LIKE DOES HE STILL HAVE A TRACE OF SPIKE IN HIM OR????? he would literally never say that???? so yeah, that is how the evolution of spike has gone from chaotic to pure sexism throughout the span of lab rats.
please please please if you know the person who said this first let me know and i will credit them i know i did not think of this on my own

uhmm i haven't been seeing a lot of discussion about till aside from his relationships with other competitors and i think it's something that must be addressed because i think among the competitors he's the anomaly.
unlike his peers, Till is nothing special. Ivan is beautiful and talented and so is Mizi, and they're both treated as valuable things by their alien owners because of it. You can see this in the way Ivan's constantly surrounded by attention and food and Mizi's pampered lifestyle pre-alien stage.
but then you get to Till and he's literally just strapped to a medical table. Mizi and Ivan's "foster family" treat them with some degree of humanity, even if it's in the way that humans now treat their beloved house cats. If that's the case, Till's treated as a mildly interesting lab rat.
His owners go lengths to further dehumanize him, and you can see that from the way he's so often muzzled when no one else is. They also quite literally brand him !!
This type of dehumanization in my opinion is also something that contributes to Till's aggressive behavior, because he is constantly in the circumstances that force him to do so.
Till is neither too attractive or too talented at singing, and I'm pretty sure he knows this --- that's why he relied so heavily on the element of gruesome surprise during his first round.
It's also worth mentioning that his unhealthy attachment to the idea of Mizi as some kind of saving grace also reflects on his own perception of himself, as some sinner in need of saving. Whenever he imagines Mizi in the Round 6 video, he is someone tainted in the colors of his captors (red) and sweaty, whereas Mizi is bright and glowing.
He didn't expect to live past round 6, I think that's made pretty clear. His expression isn't one of someone who expects to live (especially when Mizi is now either dead or gone). His expression is of someone defeated.
Another thing about Till is that he felt alone. Ivan loves him, we knows this, but Till doesn't. The few instances we see through Ivan's eyes, his kindness towards Till is either from somewhere Till can't see or when he's unconscious. The only time we see them interact where Till is aware of what's going on is when they're fighting as kids, and their one escape attempt.
As far as I know, Till has nothing to go off of in recent times. The only time that he's touched is by alien captors and scientists, both who see him as less than human. It's easy to be beat down and dehumanized when there is no one around you to humanize you.
No other competitor, from what we've seen, is treated as awfully as Till is treated. His idealization of Mizi stems from delusion, and there is no indication to him now that his ex-best friend Ivan still gives a shit about him.
That changes after the 6th Round though, and Till is so well set up to be a character who gets his entire worldview shattered, with Ivan's final show of affection and Mizi's disconnect from the one he has in his head (symbolized by her cut hair).
Till, a hotheaded human who is nothing special but lived on until the final round through the idealization of one competitor and the sacrifice of another ... the silliest of all time

What monsters do you think would struggle to parent a human and why? (Ex: drider, werewolf, orc, etc)
Monsters that would struggle parenting a human.
This was fun :)
Vampire
They’d suck at parenting a human. (Pun intended) I feel like this one is controversial, being that they are a humanoid. Vampires probably wouldn’t understand human hunger. Only their own hunger. They’d definitely have impulse control with a blood bag constantly around. On top of that, they wouldn’t be awake during the day like humans are.
Alien
These guys know nothing about humans. We are as much of aliens to them as they are to use. Their parenting skills are just using you as a lab rat. Plus, humans can’t breathe in space. Huge lack of oxygen.
Ghost
This would be 50/50 depending on the type of ghost. Regular house ghost? Yeah they couldn’t help care for a human. They can’t even touch anything. A poltergeist? Maybe.
Tentacles
They’d accidentally drown the kid. That’s all I have to say about that.
Merfolk
Same as tentacles, they’d accidentally drown the kid. I also feel like they’d try and teach them how to be a siren. Probably wouldn’t go well but they’d b sure you look pretty at all times. Just isn’t idea to raise a human when you can’t even live on the surface.
Gargoyles
Gargoyles I feel would be too protective. They’d know whoever they’re parenting would be fragile. Really fragile compared to the gargoyle species. They’d make sure the kid would be so sheltered. Good luck having your freedom as an adult.
Fae
The fae are bullies. Also, most of the time there’s a size difference (not always). Picture it, a small evil little creature trying to parent a human. That would end in the human having some trauma. Just like having human parents, but meaner.
Mimics
These guys? Good lord. They’d try mimicking a toy and end up traumatizing the poor kid. It’s the thought that counts I guess.
