ill be honest, the keeler family from make it or break it is HONESTLY one of the healthiest families like
mom and dad talk and love and communicate and have sex and joke and are FRIENDS oh my god and the sisters love each other and look up to each other and they can talk to their parents even when they're afraid and their parents will always love them like
god i fucking love that family out of all the drama on that show they were such a stable, nice thing even when they were part of the drama when the storyline called, they never abandoned each other.
Flashback Friday this week to one of my all-time favorite teen dramas from ABC Family / Freeform, Make It or Break It. The drama, the costumes, the look into one of the most elite and demanding youth sports, with actual gymnastics tricks performed by college gymnast stunt doubles! What's not to love? (per usual, a lot of cattiness and slut shaming, and an unrealistic teen pregnancy plot, but that goes with the genre).
I love this show because I'm obsessed with teen dramas and also the gymnastics world, so put them together and you've got me hooked. I come back to it again and again.
Other bonuses include Peri Gilpin (Ros from Frazier) as the badass mom of one of the main characters (apparently her illegitimate daughter grew up to be an Olympic gymnast, but no one seems to have told Payson -- geez that name -- that her "Dad" isn't her biological father), and a very young Amanda Leighton (Emma from The Fosters) as Wendy in season three (apparently Emma moved to CA and settled for wrestling after she got booted from the US gymnastics team at 14).
LightningLad may have lost an arm, but he got his sister back, and in a way his brother too.
And he got a pretty good upgrade thanks to Brainy and Vi.
“I’ll be right back, Kell, keep an eye on Mekt, Bouncy, keep an eye on Ayla, and Kell,” Garth hums as he walks out.
He finds the two younger legionaries in Brainy’s “room” on the ship.
Both of them are sitting on Brainy’s bed, ShrinkingViolet has a pillow tucked under her chin.
“...while I agree with you on principle I have to point out—“ Brainy pauses mid sentence when Garth pulls them both into a hug.
“Thanks, you two,” Garth pulls away, smiling, a hand on each of their shoulders.
“Uh...you’re welcome?” Vi smiles back, though a little confused.
“For helping save Ayla?” Querl questions.
“For...everything, okay? You two did a lot of good today, and I just...I want to tell you both I’m proud of you,” Garth explains, before ruffling both of their hair.
“It’s what we do,” Vi giggles.
“It’s nice to know you appreciate us,” Brainy hums.
“We all do, promise,” Garth assures, before headed back out.
