At best, Power Rangers was likely some laughable concept to the average person. Most adults never comprehended what it meant to us. They never cared what it meant to us. The two-parent households (housewives with nothing better to do) wanted to do away with it because of the “violence” of, you know, altruistic heroes defeating evil tyrants. Single-parent (fatherless) households just saw it as a helpful distraction to keep from interacting with their offspring immediately after work. Very few saw it for what it truly was. This campy but charming, fun, and inspirational show. That is no exaggeration. The actors have reported meeting kids who their characters inspired to join the military, the police force, the peace corps, etc.
Pre-Grand Princess, I grew up with two teenagers who took very little interest in me. All things considered, I might as well have been an only child most days. The Mighty Morphin Power Rangers were around their ages but nothing like them. Even before they gained their powers, the iconic Teenagers with Attitude spent their free time coaching and helping tweens around their local youth center. Not for any school credit or the like, but because they wanted to. They wanted to build those kids’ self-esteem up, teach them self-defense and other skills to help them become the best version of themselves. Those are the people I fell in love with. Yes, the cool suits, colors, weapons, and battle sequences were all amazing, but none of it would have meant anything if not for the people who filled those suits. Austin St. John’s Jason Scott, Amy Jo Johnson’s Kimberly Hart, Thuy Trang’s Trini Kwan, Walter Jones’ Zack Taylor, David Yost’s Billy Cranston, and later Jason David Frank’s Tommy Oliver.
These six super teens became not only role models but family for me. I especially grew attached to Kimberly and Tommy. They were all my older siblings and I retreated into them throughout grade school to combat my constant loneliness and despair. I was never among the most popular in school, but I always wound up playing the Pink Ranger to the boys’ beloved Green/White/Red/Black. We used to draw our own mini comic books based on their adventures. They truly brought boys and girls together and the Rangers continue to be an influential force in my life.
We were already devastated to lose Thuy Trang to a car accident back in 2001. Now, Jason David Frank. Unlike our big sister, however, our big brother left us by his own hand.
Tommy was the last to join the original team, but Jason David Frank became the face of the Power Rangers franchise. He reprised his role the most, appeared in guest specials, and participated in practically every convention and event they ever had. Little girls loved him and little boys wanted to be him, going straight into adulthood. Then, he turns around and does THIS to us! HOW COULD HE TAKE HIS OWN LIFE THIS WAY?
Look, I get it. He’s not the first celebrity or public figure to do this and, unfortunately, he won’t be the last. It’s impossible to know the full weight of another’s misery, no matter what mask they don for the outside world. I know this personally. AND I DON’T FREAKIN CARE! HE HAD EVERY REASON TO LIVE! He not only had his own four children but ALL of us! Countless fans around the world now left crushed and distraught. I will not be surprised if a few in crisis copy his example and likewise choose to end it.
I am hurt.
I am livid.
I am out of my mind.
I cannot believe he’s gone.
I cannot believe he betrayed us this way.
I hate him.
I love him!
Regardless of anything, I pray for Jason’s soul and only hope he’s received peace from whatever pain he suffered. I also pray for his family and my fellow fans.
God Bless, God Rest
Jason David Frank
1973-2022
💚Beloved Big Brother-Ranger💚

glass onion trended for like a solid week, if not more. puss in boots is still trending, and has been for at least over a week.
meanwhile, i still haven't seen avatar 2 content. no theories, no fanart, not even fans thirsting.
bizarre.
avatar is such a bizarre mega billion dollar franchise. a cgi spectacle bereft of cultural staying power and creative energy.
the normies might watch it, and throw their cash in a colorful wet dumpster, but the artists of tumblr have SPOKEN.
they are thirsting over that white wolf and headcanoning weird benoit blanc scenarios.
god bless us all.
impeccably deranged tastes. as always. good show, tumblr.

All the buffs they've added to the cooking mods is hilarious to me. Like it's for sure super fun and exciting. But imagine the world cracking apart at the seams and from the moment you wake up you are immediately pounced on by "DAD! DAD! LOOK WHAT I CAN DO!" *places brick oven*
I just imagine Chayanne has been surrounding his dads' beds with various plates of food. Cuz you KNOW he's a stress cooker.
And Talullah's like "bro that's a loose popsicle on the floor Missa's gonna slip and die"

my theory is that the last shadowhunter actually refers to alec who will then become immortal and live happily ever after adopting tons of kids with magnus.
i hear you asking "but what about all the other shadowhunters?" and to that i say i do not care <3

of course oliver quick is a pervert and a creep. sure.
but "it must've been awful. was it? was it awful?", "you're such an inspiration to me", "oh fuck off with this, you'll save my sanity, seriously", the silent and distant and curious gaze at the awkwardness and tension at the table, the voyeurism, the childish jealousy of a boy that has his entertainment suddenly gain consciousness and wander off to a sister, the final "i'm not taking no for an answer".
the felix catton ease of presumption; the sick, spoiled, sweet felix catton normality. and oliver quick. a pervert and a creep. sure.

Back Hugs in Tian Guan Ci Fu:
1. Volume 2, "To Ascend is Human, to Fall Is Also Human", pg. 380
The Deputy State Preceptors hurriedly moved aside, and Mu Qing and Feng Xin didn't know whether to act. Seeing that everyone was avoiding him like he was poisonous vermin, the child was shaken and started thrashing even harder, biting and screaming with all his might. "I'm not! I'm not!! I'M NOT!!!" Suddenly, a pair of arms wrapped around his waist, encircling his small form. A voice came from above his head. "You're not. I know you're not. Don't cry, now. I know you're not." The young child pressed his lips closed tightly, grabbing on to the pair of snow-white sleeves around his waist with a desperate grip. He forced himself to hold back for a long time, but in the end, he couldn't. A stream of tears suddenly rolled down from that round black eye, and he burst out into sobs. Xie Lian embraced him from behind and reiterated with conviction, "It's not you. It's not your fault." Honghong-er whipped around, buried his face in Xie Lian's chest, and wailed.
2. Volume 6, "Cave of Ten Thousand Gods- Faces of the Ten Thousand Gods Revealed", pg. 78-79
Hua Cheng inclined his head slightly- it was like he wanted to glance back but was too afraid to look Xie Lian in the eye. Only the two streaks of blood on his cheek could be seen. "Your Highness, would you please... not tell me?" His voice cracked as he asked. "I'm sorry," Xie Lian said. "Something like this has to be made clear." Hua Cheng didn't need to breathe, but he still sucked in a deep breath. Although his face was awfully pale, he still smiled and replied courteously, "That's true. It's for the best." He was like a criminal on death row, waiting for his sentence. He closed his eye. Yet his eye didn't remain closed for long- soon it snapped open once more as a pair of arms suddenly circled him from behind and caught him in a forceful embrace. Xie Lian buried his face in Hua Cheng's back, but he didn't speak either. Though nothing was said, it was enough. It was a long time before Xie Lian felt the man he was hugging turn around. Hua Cheng fervently returned the embrace, engulfing Xie Lian in his arms.
3. Volume 6, "Warm Words of a Cold Ghost Beguile the Lost Child", pg. 203
And then, Xie Lian abruptly froze. White No-Face was hugging him. As Xie Lian tilted and fell to his knees in a slump, he had been captured by a pair of cold, powerful arms that pulled him into a lifeless embrace. At some point, White No-Face had sat down on the ground with him. "So sad, so sad," he murmured. "Your Highness, look. Look at what they've done to you." He whispered softly as he stroked Xie Lian's head, his hands gentle and full of pity. It was like he was petting a wounded puppy or his own gravely ill child on the brink of death. The smiling half of the crying-smiling mask was hidden in the darkness; the moonlight revealed only the half that was crying, looking like genuine tears of grief shed for Xie Lian. Xie Lian remained stiff and curled in on himself, moving no further. The man in white behind him raised his fingers to wipe the filthy mud from Xie Lian's face. He sensed a peculiar kind of loving compassion in the man's touch. Like the embrace of a close friend or a dear family member, it miraculously returned a bit of warmth to Xie Lian's shivering body. He never expected that this sinister creature would be the one to finally offer him compassion.
4. Volume 7, "Dominate Heaven and Earth, Divine Being Breaks Through the Kiln", pg. 19
Xie Lian stood on the giant's palm, one hand pressing the bamboo hat down on his head while the another blocked his face from the snowstorm. The stifling hot air was swept cleanly away, and Xie Lian took a deep breath of fresh, freezing air and shouted: "San Lang-!" The first syllable was still echoing in the air when a pair of arms pulled him into an embrace from behind. Xie Lian stiffened at first, but he relaxed when he looked down and saw red sleeves and silver vambraces circling his waist. A deep, forlorn voice came from above his ear. "...I was about to lose my mind!" Xie Lian hurried to turn around. He cupped his captor's cheeks with his hands and soothed him, "Don't... don't. I'm here... I'm out!" Hua Cheng stood before him. His raven hair was mussed, and there was a lost look in his eye. He gripped the cry-smiling mask Xie Lian hadn't been able to remove no matter how hard he tried, easily tore it off, and tossed it away.
Bonus: Volume 7, "Dominate Heaven and Earth, Divine Being Breaks Through the Kiln", pg. 29-30
Before Xie Lian could finish his thought, the three mountain spirits besieged them together. They surrounded the giant stone statue and pressed firmly inward, trying to crush the state to pieces. The divine state couldn't move a single limb, nor could Xie Lian. He poured all of his strength into getting the statue to push them back, but it didn't budge- and at that point, it was probably powerless to fight back! As he tried to think of another way to escape, he unconsciously took a step backward and bumped into a chest. When he looked back, Hua Cheng grasped his shoulders. "Fight freely! It'll be fine- none of them are a match for you. Nothing in this world can stop you!" His chest was the strongest backing in existence, and in an instant, Xie Lian was brimming with confidence. A refreshing current flowed through his body, and he struck back with all his might.

Your writing is so amazing! 😲
You mentioned that you like people sharing blurbs so I thought I’d share one!
In Sagau I imagined the statues of the creator to have an aura around it. Like it changes depending on their mood. so sometimes people will visit the statues to feel closer to the creator or to talk to the statue. It would be customary to visit the statues when one is really happy to share their happiness with the creator. Which would cause little bursts of happiness within the creators everyday life.
I just thought it was a sweet headcanon to share! I hope you have a good day!
AHH this got buried in my asks :'(
GOD UR SO SWEET IM SO SORRY I DIDNT SEE THIS FUCK ME-
This gif is what it feels like when ppl send me little snippets or blurbs fr:
Tumblr media
Just 😭😭😫😫😫🤲💌💌💝❤️‍🔥💖💔💕💗💝💘💓💞💗✨️
Thank you so saying that about my writing 🥺<333
this is actualy the best headcanon, i love worldbuilding stuff like this, like reader having statues/how ppl treat them/emotive statues like?? genius??
idk if yall are into the ship, but the worldbuilding in this zhongli/childe fic goes so hard, and this kinda reminded me of how the author descibed genuine/"filling" offerings to the gods being like, less of a business transaction and more of a, "i got so happy seeing all the flowers i handmade a flower crown just to share it with you!" and THATS what you give a god to give them a satisfying meal
EDIT 4/10/24: SORRY I FORGOT TO PUT FIC NAME AND LINK HERE YA GO <3
anyone that being all said i like to take ur headcanon in that way, where ppl make a song or something w/lots of emotion (usually positive) and send it ur way as an offering <3
THANK U AND SORRY AGAIN FOR NEVER REPLYING,
Safe Travels Pebbles,
💀♒

man. you know what i fucking think about all the time? vex and vax and the deities that they become champions to. how even those gods reflect the entanglement that is their life, how vax steps in front of a goddess on his stalwart hope in the world and demands she choose him and how vex is so tentative, barely speaks up because she’s fighting against every instinct she’s learned that tells her not to hope that she could be worthy enough, certainly not to a god.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and the gods that choose them, the gods they choose? they’re both reflections of one another to each other. vax, whose championship arose out of his commitment to never leave his sister’s side? his god is the matron of ravens, a sad woman who dons a mask. a mortal who fought tooth and nail to arrive at the power she has. vex, whose championship arrives after her brother’s hope in the future and her future specifically has rubbed off on her and encouraged her own growth to believing? she is greeted with pelor, who stands strong and painfully bright, but she’s granted the gift to see through it to warm eyes and a bright smile. who affirms the hope that lives in her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and man, it’s even more extraordinary to me that the comparison between the given twin’s god and their sibling gets made by that sibling in scenes where they directly speak to the gods their twin has chosen. during vax’s resurrection ritual, vex bargains with the raven queen because she knows she’s someone who bargains like vex herself does, and she’s someone that values vax, maybe not quite as much as she does, but enough. and during vex’s trial, as the dawn father searches for his hope among the love for vex among vox machina, vax’s affirmation is that vex is his hope, so she should certainly be sufficient to be pelor’s.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and god the black death walker’s ward and the white dragon armour? vax’s wings and vex’s blessing? vax as a shroud of darkness visiting this plane, embracing the literally glowing shape of his sister on her wedding day? the poetry of vex and vax and pelor and the matron of ravens is enormous and so much of it is fucking. improv.
