Today is the 30th anniversary of Power Rangers! What are some of your favorite teams, characters, theme songs, moments and/or zords from the show?⚡️⚡️⚡️
This moment is always going to tickle the fuck out of me.
When it comes to favorites Zack was my dude and the entire universe had love for Kimberly. Like, I would have Hip Hop Kido'd my ass through all of Rita's forces to save her too. Part of me wanted to throw hands with Tommy solely over her but as time went on I really couldn't even try to deny that he was an MVP.

I'm also going to always be a mark for this scene. When it comes to this movie I absolutely love their version of the theme and above all else the suits they used in this film.
That's my favorite versions of the suits ever. I also really liked the ninja variations they get towards the end of the movie. Costume design to me was just A-fucking-1 for this film
and I mean that.
I saw some other series here and there like Lightspeed Rescue, Lost Galaxy, Dino Thunder and the Turbo movie but Mighty Morphin was always going to be the one for me at the end of the day.
Once & Always really hit home in a lot of ways with getting to go back to that world and acknowledging the losses in the series and in life.
Also, while the suits can be debated from now until the end of time I really was a fan of the 2017 film. That movie not being given a chance for more is always going to be a crime in my eyes. Especially considering how well that cast worked on and off screen. Studios left a lot of chemistry on the table.
And you better believe one of my personal favorite moments was when they teamed up with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
I'mma also use his moment to say SOMEBODY needs to do Venus again. Like, I fucking dare them. Next Mutation was an era; it happened and I refuse to forget it.

Also, just gonna leave the Lost Galaxy theme right here to bask in its glory.

And of course this is a moment that you just can't not bring up as a franchise highlight. Power Rangers is eternal spanning several generations and Jason David Frank was there for damn near all of them. He truly was the living, breathing legacy of Power Rangers.
Why was Megaforce and Samurai's dialogue like... that?
Like Power Rangers dialogue are cheesy and quippy across the board just the way I like it. But Samurai and Megaforce so often had this… placeholder lines vibe at times where they just say, "We gotta [thing we know they're gonna do and doesn't need saying]" or just… stuff that barely feels punchy as well as generically heroic.
That and the weird way they talked during combat, especially close-quarters. Nothing quick or snappy but full sentences that feel tacked on. Even Mighty Morphin' didn't make the dialogue this dumbed down.
It's just… weird, weird, weird. There's a deep dive to be made about the peculiar presentation of the initial Neo-Saban era.
“I can’t imagine who I’d be without you” + Gia/Emma
These girls are the best, I love them! Another Valentine's day gift.

"You're a big softie," Emma murmurs, Gia's head in her lap.
"Tell anyone and I'll end you," Gia replies without opening her eyes.
Emma laughs softly, not worried about the threat. Gia's never followed through on any of her threats, so Emma knows she won't start now. Emma hums, running gentle fingers though blonde hair. "Gia," she hums. "Have I ever told you how grateful I am to you?"
Gia hums questioningly. Her eyes open a sliver, blue eyes pinning on Emma's.
Emma smiles. Gia knows what she's talking about. "You saved me, Gia," Emma whispers. "You saved me from the monsters."
Gia's smile curls slowly up her lip. "You're my favorite person," she murmurs. "How could I not save you?"
Emma giggles. "Baby," she replies. "My wings."
"My heart," Gia says, sitting up. "You're mine, I protect what's mine." She leans over and presses a kiss to Emma's forehead, then her lips. "I can't imagine who I'd be without you," she whispers against Emma's lips.
Emma grins into the kiss, pressing closer to Gia with a little smile. "I don't know who I'd be without you," she says back. "I never want to find out."
Gia hums, laying back down with her head against Emma's shoulder. "You'll never have to find out, love."
It's now been 1 year since we sadly lost beloved Power Rangers actor Jason David Franks.
David played the role of Tommy Oliver in ''Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers'' where he first started as the Green Ranger then the White Ranger and finally the Red Ranger.
In-between seasons, David played Tommy in ''Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie.''
He returned in ''Power Rangers Dino Thunder'' where he became the Black Dino Ranger. He would later gust star on ''Power Rangers Super Megaforce'' and ''Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel".
In 2017, he had a cameo in the new Power Rangers film with former Pink Ranger Amy Jo Johnson

New ABC list! Noah/Jake
A (aftercare), D (dreams), G (games), H (humor), K (kissing), M (masturbation), R (recording), Z (zones)
I love this so much. I gotta see if I want and did any of these. Hold on! Okay, I did not. Let's go through it!
~
A - Aftercare
Jake can be really rough. Like, not allow Noah to come at all until Jake's satisfied. On those days, the aftercare is extensive, usually involving bubblebaths and Jake reading to him as Noah falls asleep. Jake adores Noah, he never minds. When Jake wakes up, Noah always tales care of him back.
~
D - Dreams
Noah has a fantastical imagination and Jake has a list of kinks he wants to try a mile long. The dreams are extensive. Jake always recreates them to the vest of his ability. Noah's favorite is the one where he's tied to a chair surrounded by rose petals, and Jake feeds him chocolate covered strawberries, that was a Valentine's Day to remember.
~
G - Games
Roleplay sometimes. Once Noah let Jake dress up as a burgler and "break in" to "assault" him, but it wasn't all that great for Noah, so they never did it again. All in all, foreplay is all they get to. Jake's too impatient.
~
H - Humor
They're both pretty steady people. They're more interested in the actual sex part than joking around. Also though, Jake's a goofy guy, so Noah doesn't mind a few laughs here and there
~
K - Kissing
Kisses are important to Noah. Noah's mother often used physical punishments and would show affection as a "reward" so any form of physical intimacy is extremely important to Noah. Jake understands this and kisses Noah whenever he feels like no matter who's watching. Kisses good morning, good night, "good luck," "you got this," "I love you," "thank God, you're alive," etc, are commonplace between Noah and Jake.
~
M - Masturbation
Jake more than Noah, for sure. Noah has a habit of not masturbating until he's so physically frustrated, he can't. So, Jake does it for him.
~
R - Recording
Jake likes watching back their recordings. He does it to make Noah squirm because Noah has a kind of performance kink. The second Jake found that out, he turned their second bedroom into a studio for them. Noah’s never been redder and he couldn't be if he tried.
~
Z - Zones
Neither of them really have them. Jake’s legs are kind sensitive though.

Thank you, you lovely human being you. @estel-eruantien
I am currently revamping the characters from Megaforce (Jake is next), and someone suggested Emma have some boho chic elements in her design. Shouts out to @specialcolorfulshabon for the idea
I thought it was a great idea since I was about to go the boring route and do sporty casual for Emma!
I remember really liking how the old one turned out. It was my first time drawing this pose (that I draw all the time now!)
I know the bar was set so phenomenally low by the latter but it's more how Kyuranger elements are being adapted as part of Ryusoulger's adaptation.
Megaforce could've made it work by starting with a team that operated on its own before inheriting the powers of their predecessors could've worked but having their pirate suits as just a power up kind of made it weird. See no further that Gosei's lack of a simple explanation for Jake going green.
Here, Cosmic Fury is to be an upgrade from Dino Fury given the new suits (love 'em or hate 'em) are designed based on the latter. It feels like the old team we grown to love but in new digs rather than getting a completely different suit and passing it off as an extension.
I guess they could've drawn more inspiration from Kyuranger's suits below the helmet. Definately needs a team insignia for the black chest area ala Overdrive at least.
For Megaforce, they should've taken the opportunity they had with the first season finale where the rangers can use their morphers to launch attacks. Robo Knight could revive them but only temporarily until Vrak vanishes, leaving them to demorph for good before the Armada arrive.
THAT would justify them receiving totally new powers and totally new asthetics from the ground up. Basically an overdone homage to Zeo. Them having new weapons would explain their new fighting styles as they adapt on the fly. At least a little.
That and at least justify the pirate theme by calling them rebels to the Armada's self-imposed authority onto Earth. Heroic pirates were a thing.
...
BTW, I will bust a gut if Ryusoulger Ten Years After happens with Cosmic Fury suits adapted and modified as a power up. Make it SPD all over again. XD
