Lab Rats as text posts

liking Lab Rats is a red flag. and an orange flag. and a yellow flag. and a green flag. and a blue flag. and a purple flag. liking Lab Rats is a pride flag. you are queer.

these are fun to make so here's another meme

Lab Rats meme time

i'm sorry but this pic of Bree i found on Google is the funniest goddamn thing ever. why is it so badly cropped. who did this. i want to meet them and give them all my money im actually crying right now

I've had this Lab Rats episode idea for a while, so what if Leo went to another parallel universe again for whatever reason and in this universe everybody's roles are switched. I'm not good at explaining things so bear with me.

Donald is the former evil brother. Tasha married Douglas instead of Donald and Leo is just DISGUSTED by this knowledge. but then it gets worse for Leo when he finds out the Lab Rats in this universe are Marcus and Daniel. he doesn't have an issue with Daniel but he's just fuming when he has to pretend to be all brotherly with Marcus so he doesn't give away his situation and Marcus is just like "ah man I sure love spending time with my annoying brother :)"

this would probably take place in season 4 since that's when Daniel was revealed. on the topic of Daniel, Adam takes his place as the had-no-idea-he-had-bionics kid of Doland's. so Leo could have the chance of interacting with a normally raised Adam who just found out about all of this crazy stuff. I don't think he'd be that different but you could get some funny jokes out of the situation.

Bree and Chase would both be androids that were left to die by Donald but they wouldn't be brought up much because... well... they're supposedly dead and in the original reality Marcus is revealed to be alive in the finale and this obviously would take place before that so yeah. maybe when Leo gets back he could mention this to Douglas and he'd see things from another perspective and finally feel guilty or sad or ANYTHING about Marcus's death like goddammit anyway.

mainly it would be funny to see Leo interact with Marcus as his brother and also I want more Marcus content

if the Lab Rats writers had decided to give Marcus a redemption arc, I think it would have been interesting to see the parallels between him and Chase.

Chase is a human who doesn't feel human enough because of the nature of his bionics and Marcus is an android who has emotions and feels like a human.

idk I think there was potential there.

each time I scroll through the lab rats fandom on ao3 or fanfiction.net and see those ships i take physical and psychological damage

Lab Rats rant? in 2022? more likely than you think!

ok let's get started. also I apologize in advance I'll probably get carried away and start talking about Marcus a lot

why did the Lab Rats kids ever forgive Douglas

and before anyone comes at me I don't have an issue with Douglas but that man did some pretty fucked up things ESPECIALLY to his kids??

he experimented on them when they were literal babies and wanted to make them bionic soldiers and rent them to the highest bidder?? like i don't know about yall but if I ever heard my dad wanted to sell me as a kid i would get as far away as possible

he proceeds to fake his death and build an android to "befriend" and capture the lab rats so he could take control over them with the triton app and make them do whatever he wanted. also don't even get me started on Marcus oh my god.

he makes an android and then realizes "well shit he's not gonna last long with all these bionics in his body". he probably doesn't really care at first but then oops! turns out his android son has feelings! who would have seen that coming!!! and before anyone comes at me yes Marcus does have feelings like cmon. he could have easily fooled Leo if he wanted. in the ep "Concert In A Can" at the end he could have apologized to Leo and maybe he would have bought his lies after a while! but he didn't apologize! this guy went at Leo for NO REASON. he would have had an easier time fooling the others if he befriended Leo too but he didn't cause he's just a kid! he wanted some drama in his life and what's more dramatic than having an arch nemesis? also he's literally in drama club. come on now.

plus he mentions he has pizza nights with Douglas which would be kind of weird to have with an emotionless android just saying...

and you can say "oh he's programmed to fake emotions!" or whatever. no he isn't. or maybe he was but then learned to have real emotions from Douglas or whatever. the point is this boy has emotions!! just watch the episode in season 4 when he confronts Douglas and tell me he doesn't have emotions.

anyway back to Douglas he lies to Marcus about him DYING before 16 and even says he's gonna buy him a car at 16?? he didn't HAVE to lie if he was emotionless, why would a robot care? but Marcus does have emotions and the news would give him psychological torment and Douglas KNOWS that and that's why he lies. anddd I don't know about you but that's pretty fucked up!

he also just. allows Marcus to attempt to kill Leo. he doesn't say "hey maybe don't kill my brother's brand new kid" he just lets Marcus do his thing. and Marcus does his thing because Douglas is his only parental figure and Douglas is Fucked Up™

then he allows Marcus to kill Leo again!! and when his plan fails and the lab rats escape he leaves Marcus to die even if he knew to some degree he had emotions. so that's fun!!

anyway I have a love hate relationship with Douglas. I think he's a fun character and the episodes with him are great it's just that HOW IN THE HELL DID HE GET A REDEPMION ARC OH MY GOD. I'm not saying people can't learn from their mistakes and grow as a person but this guy tried to sell his own kids!! and kill Leo who's very much a kid!! I have no idea how or why the lab rats crew forgave him but it's probably cause it's just a Disney show for kids and I'm looking too much into it. but that's why it's fun!

at the end of the day as I said it's just a silly children's show from 2012 and I have way too many feelings about Marcus to not be biased lmao. this is all /lh and its totally fine if you disagree :) also it's like 3 am so if there are any mistakes no there aren't
