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.

Realistically it would be difficult to reboot Lab Rats after the disaster of Elite Force, but they should at least make a movie to wrap up loose ends.

lab rats fandom, it's great to see y'all again -> question tho:
Marcus and Leo friendship, where are we at with that?
because honestly- i can see them realizing that they're very similar to each other and becoming besties -> obviously only after very thorough talk and a very steady slow build of trust, of course
Like Marcus will see Leo being talked over or dismissed because he's the baby of the family and just- casually melt something with his laser eyes or knock something off the table
Chase, Bree, and/or Adam: !? Marcus, playing it off: Sorry, it was just- so boring listening to you guys. I've seen reality shows with less pointless fighting Chase: …You watch reality shows? Marcus, holding Chase's shoulder seriously: Of course I do. And then Leo takes the opening to get them all back on track and share his thoughts uninterrupted bc they're all stupefied
just them being silly gossipy drama queens together yk? -> do you see the vision??

i am currently on Season 4, Episode 16: Bob Zombie of my Lab Rats rewatch and I just came across the biggest amount of bullshit ever seen on tv
Tumblr media Tumblr media
you cant see who's saying this cause disney plus hates screenshots but it's Chase who says this
and btw if you didn't know because I had to look it up. Frivolous means "not having any serious purpose or value"
AND CHASE SAYS THIS
BRUV

AND THESE ARE ONLY THE TIMES THAT I CAN FIND SCREENCAPS OF
CHASE HAS NEVER SHOWN ANY SIGNS OF HIM NOT WANTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF PHYSICAL AFFECTION
SEASON FOUR GIVES ME GREY HAIRS I SWEAR

I think it's funny how Adam and Bree fight relatively normally, meanwhile Chase is out here doing all kinds of flips and spins and kicks. It's probably just because he wants to show off but damn, someone get this guy into gymnastics.

We're all familiar with queercoding, but let me present DestielCoding! It's just like queercoding, but instead of writers making characters un/intentionally yet not explicitly queer, it's me taking two characters and projecting dean and cas onto them! And i'm starting with these two:

i'm on the parallel universe episode of lab rats and took notes on a few things
Tasha, despite having the same role as Donald in the main universe, does not keep Leo in the basement and lets him go to school
Tashas last name is still Dooley which kinda leads me to believe that Dooley is her maiden name and not Leo's father name
Also this means that Tasha and Donald never fell in love despite spending so much time together
Im very curious as to who Adam Bree and Chases family are in this universe. Since their last name is Henderson and Donald has no idea who they are
I also took note in the fact that even though Adam Bree and Chase had what we can assume to be a normal childhood they seem to be just as close as they are in the main universe despite them all being so different in personality
do with this information what you will
