power rangers jungle fury anyone? anyone???

[lizzardwitch]

noticed something so i decided to make a meme out of it (can you tell what my favorite pr character archetype is)

edit: just wanted to clarify that this isn't me calling rj dumb by any means 😭😭 he's easily one of the smartest if not the smartest character in jf and i know his hippie behavior doesn't reflect on his actual intelligence; it's just funny how all of them canonically have doctorates/have "dr." in their titles except him

'AFTERMATH'

gif belongs to me

The chill of the space beside him alerted RJ that you were no longer sleeping beside him and had been gone for at least ten minutes. He sat up, looking around the room, the moon outside peeking in through the curtains granting enough light that he could see you weren't in your bedroom. He glanced at the clock as he got out of bed and quietly made his way to the living space, finding it was encased in darkness.

He looked around in confusion until he heard a noise from downstairs in the pizza parlour. A smile formed on his lips as he headed downstairs to the kitchen where he found you spreading sauce on the pizza dough you had made.

RJ chuckled, startling you, and you looked at your husband when he approached you. "Let me guess, midnight snack?"

"What? I'm eating for two now." You placed a hand on your bump, and RJ smiled as he stood behind you, placing his hands on your arms while kissing your cheek.

"Here." He took over the cooking, and you helped add toppings, looking over at him.

"Did I wake you?"

He shook his head, "The bed was cold."

He didn't have to elaborate for you to realize why he had started looking for you. It had been months since the incident, but the look in his eyes told you that it was still very much on his mind. RJ could never shake the fear that overcame him when he found you were gone. It took him back again and again and revisited him in his sleep. The night you were taken by Dai Shi, who stole your animal spirit to make himself stronger, haunted him every day since.

You frowned, observing your husband, whom you had met at the academy. You got married weeks after graduation and have been together ever since, and there was no greater test than helping him mentor three teenagers who could save the world.

You couldn't imagine how it must've been while you were gone. RJ had spoken about it after a nightmare, and you discussed his need to be closer to you once you returned. You knew that if the roles were reversed, you would've lost your mind with worry. And since your pregnancy, RJ was more protective than ever.

You approached the Purple Ranger, wrapping your arms around his waist, pressing a kiss to his shoulder after he placed the pizza in the oven. He smiled softly as he turned to you, and you rested your head on his chest as you stood in the lit kitchen, in his warm embrace.

"I'm sorry. I never thought - "

RJ shook his head, "I know. It seems silly now, months on, but I can't shake that feeling." He pressed a kiss to your head, meeting your gaze when you lifted your head to look up at him. "I thought I'd lost you. And I couldn't survive that." He placed a hand on your cheek, and you sent him a small smile.

"Do you remember what I told you at our wedding?"

"No matter what happens, we'll always have each other."

"Which means when - if - something happens to me, I'll haunt you forever."

RJ cracked a smile, and you smiled when he began to chuckle. He kissed you tenderly before walking to the oven to check on the cooking pizza. You placed your hand on your stomach in surprise, a smile forming on your lips.

"RJ," You called softly, gaining his attention.

He met your gaze, glancing at your hands. "What's wrong?"

"They're kicking." You told him.

He approached you, and you held his hand on your stomach. Moments later, he felt pressure against his hand, and he smiled brighter than you had seen in a while.

You met his gaze when he placed his hands on your cheeks and kissed you tenderly. "I love you."

"I love you too."

That night before time ticked by into the early hours of the morning, you headed upstairs and back to bed. RJ laid on his side while you sat with your back against the headboard, sharing the pizza you made as you added to the list of names you liked for both genders.

After the pizza was finished, RJ shifted until his head rested on your lap, and you smiled softly, combing your fingers through his hair, leaning over to turn off the lamp to allow your husband to succumb to sleep, knowing it didn't come easy to him lately.

While you still felt the void left by the absence of your animal spirit, it was nothing compared to the prospect of losing each other. And you were thankful that he and the Rangers had found you when Dai Shi went to extraordinary lengths to hide you away. He was growing stronger, but you knew the final confrontation between him and the Rangers was coming soon. And as you looked down at your husband you silently wished for him not to come to harm, and the Rangers.

Right now, you were still healing through the aftermath.

Jungle Fury Comics

Almost forgot to post these- So between 2004-2010, Power Rangers used to have these annuals, with mini Power Rangers comic strips. I did some research and they’re super hard to find, so I’m compiling and posting all those that i found over the next few days. They include Dino Thunder, SPD, Mystic Force, Operation Overdrive and Jungle Fury. Here are the Jungle Fury ones~ Enjoy!

1) Feeding Frenzy

2) Pack Attack

3) The Enemy Within

Round 1 Poll 12

Propaganda under the cut

Fran Propaganda

Literally carried the team despite not being a Ranger, ran Jungle Karma Pizza almost entirely on her own when the Rangers would go out on missions (way before she even knew they were Rangers), and finds out that they're Rangers COMPLETELY on her own. When RJ's wolf spirit got out of control she helped him (again all on her own, after literally being TACKLED BY A WEREWOLF it she still stares him down and talks to him and insists he won't hurt her, and gets him to snap out of it). When Lily gets hit and poisoned by a quill which causes her to act like a massive bitch, Fran handles it all on her own, takes Lily's morpher and threatens to go fight the MOTW with Casey and Theo herself (also gets fought by Lily which helps her snap out of the poison). Fran is the unsung GOAT of Jungle Fury and I will die on that hill, everyone on that team (especially RJ) is destitute without her

RJ Propaganda

Probably the best mentor of the Disney Era, is able to keep a small business afloat during the economic mess that was the 2008 recession, looks like a hippie who’s stoned 80% of the time but is actually the most qualified person you could expect to take care of and train a bunch of teenagers His weird phrases and training are actually meaningful and he isn’t an idiot in the slightest, is also a skilled inventor (bro literally made a cannon and a fucking tiger motorbike come on now), and is generally the gold standard of what men should aspire to be (Also silly dancer who plays ukelele :3)

[skylandart]

If your still doing the Chibi requests can I request either Casey or RJ from Jungle Fury please? Also your art is really pretty

Thank you so much for the lovely words :3

Chibis#21 Casey/RJ for youuuu~

Idky i love koala-energy Casey. It just FITS.

[nebularanger-art]

I've always held this headcanon that the wolf side we see from RJ, while integral to him as a person, was not supposed to be a form that's to be brought out. Compare how feral it appears to the other Masters' animal forms, which clearly have a sapient mind and still retain their original personalities.

A while ago, I ended up drawing what I feel could be RJ's true side, the form that's a completely perfect blend of his human mind and wolf spirit. i might've taken this as an opportunity to show a lil spice but let's not worry about it

Bonus mini-comic:

[mahi-wayy]

RJ really is like the best mentor out there, seeing him you would think he should be anything but inchrage of a bunch teenagers with powerful animal spirits, who are definetly not a team yet he is actually the best man for the job.

[isadorajaneschaos]

RJ: For self defense reasons, I'm going to pretend to be a burglar and you guys have to act wisely. 

Lily, Theo, and Casey: Okay. 

RJ: If you don't want to die, give me all your money. 

Lily: Bold of you to assume I have money. 

Casey: Bold of you to assume I don't want to die. 

Theo: Bold of you to assume I can die.

Saw a cosplay of these rangers kissing yesterday and….IVE BEEN VALIDATED💜🩶💜🩶💜🩶

Also Lunar was taller than violet so like canon Merrick is taller than RJ so he has to reach down to kiss him😭🐺

[mayo-advance]

In relation to my last post about the jungle fury team's nightmares... there's more

RJ doesn't have a nightmare in this episode because he's already living it. He spent his whole life being pushed further and further by his dad, with this grim determination to make him the best. And he succeeded, he became a master, and a damn good one at that. But then he had spent so long achieving that goal... he didn't know what else he wanted out of life. So he ran away, opened a pizza shop and just spent his life observing those around him, Dominic occasionally stopping in, but other then that being alone. His perfect dream of escaping that responsibility.

Suddenly three teenagers show up at his door (Theo and Lily 19, Casey 16) and he can't hide from this anymore, but he tries. He has a morpher but he doesn't use it because surely they have it under control, right? He trained them, he knows they are capable.

But no, his past finds him and he is whisked away to Dai Shi's layer where the most suppressed part of him is ripped open, and the animal spirit that he had once been so in tune with rebels. He had been repressing that part of his past for so long he could do nothing to stop it, and it controls him. It turns him into a monster who cannot feel empathy, who does not see the value in peace, the exact opposite of what RJ has strived to embody.

His nightmare ends when he gets himself back under control. But there was no lesson, no moral. He knows he has to fight Dai Shi with his team, because his attempt to stay out of it warped him into a monster. His real nightmares start when he's better, visions of bloodlust and the monster that he know knows exists inside him. His only hope is to face the past he tried to forget in the hopes of reuniting with himself again.

rj definitely did this while fran was in europe (he was stoned and tweaking in the middle of the night)

"YOUR PATH IS MY PATH."

gif belongs to me

When RJ returned to Jungle Karma after being captured by Dai Shi, you were upstairs above the pizza parlour, training to keep your mind occupied while hatching a plan to rescue him. You were startled when he stumbled in. The first thing you noticed was his torn clothes and how exhausted he looked.

Despite the pain and exhaustion weighing him down, seeing you again gave him the strength to smile. "You have no idea how glad I am to see you."

"Oh my god, Robbie." You rushed to his side, hands hovering, afraid of touching any injuries.

You wrapped an arm around his waist and walked with him to the bedroom as you asked him about what happened during his capture. RJ left out some details, knowing how worried you would have been the past few days, and he didn't want to worry you further by mentioning his shattered connection to his wolf spirit.

After a shower to freshen up, and an examination for any injuries, you joined the team in the living area. RJ knew you were acutely watching him for any signs he was lying about any pain he was in, so he acted as he did before, and after a few hours when you were listening to his heartbeat as you spoke in bed about what he'd missed, RJ sensed your worries leaving you for the moment, granting you peace to sleep.

While you slept peacefully, his night was more eventful. In the morning he caught a news reporter detailing a supposed animal attack that left people injured and from the claw marks, RJ suspected he was the cause. He had arrived in the early hours of the morning before you had woken, slipping into bed without you noticing, and while the events were cloudy in his mind, RJ wasn't willing to put you or the Rangers at risk.

The parlour was busy that afternoon and Fran had enlisted your help to cook in the kitchen whilst the three Rangers took orders and got customers their drinks and take out their food, keeping the service running smoothly. In the few hours you were gone RJ began to pack a backpack with essentials, believing he could sneak out undetected. However, he had not expected you to come upstairs where you caught him closing the carved box containing his morpher and he quickly replaced the box on the shelf inside the red cupboard, closing the doors. He turned when you spoke and his chest rose and fell with a silent sigh when he saw your expression.

"What are you doing?"

RJ glanced away when he noticed your eyes squint, knowing you could read him better than anyone.

"Were you going to say goodbye?" You continued softly, moving closer. "Of course not." His eyes lifted to meet your gaze when you scoffed and you tilted your head. "I knew something was wrong. I could feel it, but I chose to ignore it because I didn't want to overwhelm you with questions on your first night back." You paused when he sighed. "I can't help if I don't know what's wrong."

"It's my animal spirit. Ever since Dai Shi attacked me," He held his shoulder, his features portraying the pain he was experiencing since the attack, before continuing, "I can't control my animal form."

"Why didn't you tell me?" You asked quietly, glancing at the wooden floors.

"I didn't want you to worry. And I didn't tell the Rangers because they would lose focus on Dai Shi."

"So you were going to - what? Sneak out when everyone was downstairs?" Your gaze lifted to meet his apologetic stare which only intensified when he saw your tears. "How could you do that? After everything we've gone through - you were just gonna leave?"

"It wouldn't be forever. Just until I learned to control it." RJ explained.

"I can help you."

RJ shook his head, "The Rangers need you now. To be their mentor in my absence."

"If you think I'm letting you go through this alone, then you're wrong." You stepped forward and when he glanced away briefly you knew he was faltering, unable to leave while you were looking at him with nothing but understanding and love that showed through everything you did. "Remember what I told you when I diverted from the path the Masters planned for me?"

"Your path is my path." RJ recited.

"And I meant it." You placed a hand on his chest, tilting your head up to hold his gaze. "Let me help you."

RJ lowered his head, slowly nodding as he met your gaze. "I don't want them to know." You nodded in agreement, the Rangers had enough to worry about with Dai Shi who was growing more powerful every day, and their worry for RJ would be a distraction.

You smiled softly at the man you had risked everything for. While the Masters voiced their opinions about your relationship, you and RJ knew you were stronger together than apart and so you left your position at the academy to join him in preparing the Rangers to defeat Dai Shi and you hadn't looked back since.

RJ lowered his shoulder, letting the backpack fall down his arm before allowing it to drop on the floor, and wrapping his arms around you. He closed his eyes when you kissed his cheek, promising that everything would be okay.

And he knew that it would be because he had you by his side.
