For @augment-techs and @ajgrey9647

Drakkon: Pfft it's not like in another universe I got degrees in paleontology and decided to give all that up to teach some children.

Tommy: ....

Drakkon: Oh my god...BRO WHY????

Tommy: If it makes you feel any better I'm indifferent about them.

Conner, Ethan, Kira and Trent: What?

Tommy: YOU'RE ALL MISTAKES.

Trent: Just like your hair.

Conner: I know right, he's so old.

Ethan: Not to mention that fashion sense.

Kira: Ugh and that voice.

Jason: And he's a terrible kisser.

Kimberly: Whore.

Tommy:

Drakkon: I love this universe. *smirks*

"it's time... to set things right. We will invade their worlds, and we will tear down everything that might protect them. And then when it's too late, when they're powerless and alone, they will realize the truth: they could've been gods." - lord drakkon 2018

[estel-eruantien]

“Please kiss me.” + Shattered Grid; Ziggy/Dillon (because this just feels right)~

Ziggy didn’t think he was capable of being quiet, let alone completely silent. He tried, he really did – but Dillon squeezing his thighs while sucking his cock made it pretty damn impossible. He was whimpering and he knew he was – he tried to be quieter, even with Dillon’s warning hum against his skin. 

He and Dillon had been out with the others, trying to socialize while everyone got their upgrades from Doctor K, and suddenly he was here, in a dark room, pants pulled down, with Dillon everywhere. Normally he was the touchy-feely one of the two, but not this time.

With an obscene pop, Dillon slid off of Ziggy’s cock and rose up the thin body, throwing the green and black leather jacket to the side before Ziggy could protest. One hand was under the boy’s ass, lifting him up and forcing him to wrap his bare legs around the larger man. The other came up his green shirt, teasing his chest and pinching his nipples. 

At that, Ziggy did moan aloud, quickly being shushed by Dillon, who removed his hand from underneath the green’s shirt. “Do you want every ranger in this universe to hear you?” He hissed, then bit Ziggy’s neck, sucking hard on the same spot. This earned him more whines, muffled from behind his hand. He might have to shut Ziggy up more often, he thought, his dick hard at the strained sounds. 

Releasing the squirrelly ranger’s mouth, Dillon quickly cut off any comments as he demanded, “Bite down on my jacket. Now.” His tone left no room for discussion. Ziggy did as he was told, awkwardly taking the shoulder of Dillon’s jacket into his mouth, head laying into the bigger man. Dillon used this as a chance to shift the boy’s weight so that one arm now secured him in place as the one at his ass began to ease him open. 

As predicted, Ziggy squealed into the leather. Dillon squeezed him, whispering, “Shut up, even Drakkon will hear you.” He kept going, stretching him further before slipping out to slide out of his own pants. 

The anticipation was killing Ziggy, clutching tightly to Dillon’s broad shoulders. Somehow he was still whimpering, even with leather between his teeth, face buried in hot black ranger. He could feel the rustle of fabric against his thighs and Dillon’s warmth entered him achingly slow. He groaned. He couldn’t help it. He thought Dillon did too, but he couldn’t be sure of anything at the moment.  All he could focus on was feeling Dillon everywhere, all over him. 

The pressure built for both of them as they moved together. Ziggy released the jacket to kiss and bite along Dillon’s neck, just as he liked to do to the green ranger. With the treatment he received when they first got in here, Ziggy knew he wasn’t going to last long. 

“D-Dil–”

“Come for me, Zig.” Dillon ordered, pushing himself deeper. He leaned his forehead against Ziggy’s, taking in his little gasps and moans. 

“Please kiss me.” Ziggy begged, eyes wide and desperate. How could Dillon say no? 

Their lips met as passionately as the rest of their bodies had been that night, greedy and needy, but full of love and promise. It didn’t matter how bad things got in this war. Yes, they were scared, but they were together. They would fight alongside each other and protect each other just as they always did. 

And once they finished, cleaned up, and collected themselves, they would go back out and mingle with the other rangers. Ziggy wanted to, and Dillon, well, Dillon couldn’t say no to Ziggy.

----

Okay, listen, I can explain - I started to write something completely different and it felt much more complicated, so I may have to write a larger thing for thissss buuuuuuuuuuut I was thinking this could be when all the rangers are socializing and stuff when Doctor K gets teleported to the main dimension? And Dillon is having anxiety about being surrounded by a bunch of rangers and people he doesn't know and just wants to feel Ziggy.

I literally just reread that whole part in Shattered Grid so I could find a good point for this! But I also need to branch out and have some fun with the Coinless 'verse other than just what we see in the storyline, so I may try something else out soon :)

The Power of Community Overcomes Evil in Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Shattered Grid

In the letter at the back of his first issue of Radiant Black, writer Kyle Higgins reflected on his time stewarding the launch of BOOM! Studios’ Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers comic. “I didn’t write the property as it existed. I didn’t write the property as I remembered it existing. I wrote the property as I remembered it making me feel. Epic scope, epic wish fulfillment, and even more epic…

Happy 30th Anniversary to the first appearance of Tommy Oliver

[infinitysgrace]

Drakkon really woke up on day and decided to run the fade with the entire Power Rangers multiverse and nearly won.

Not to mention when he killed himself multiple times lol

and he would've gotten away with it too if it weren't for those meddling kids

Power Rangers: Battle For The Grid

[augment-techs]

The Ranger Wikia Billy/Skull Introduction:

Skull and Bones is the queer ship between Billy Cranston and Eugene "Skull" Skullovitch from Boom! Comics Power Rangers and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, etc.

Canon:

In the original live action series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers they were often at odds with each other as bully vs nerd, natural enemies; but as the series progressed they developed a sort of mutual worry/tolerance for each other. Throughout the original series and carrying on through over thirty years they were known to constantly be within each other's orbit, albeit often only in passing. During the Alien Rangers series, it was implied that they were friends before reaching middle school, but scholastic and personal differences took them in different directions.

In the Comic series, they were shown in Go Go Power Rangers issue #3 to have been best friends in grade school with the implications being that something went wrong due to Billy developing some sort of superiority complex that Skull wasn't willing to tolerate. Bulk and Skull were prone to throwing water balloons at Billy--but he was not special in this, as they also did it to other Angel Grove students. Billy was a target of other such annoyances, but never absolute violence and Skull was seen on multiple occasions trying to lessen Bulk's provocations and aggressions--even outright trying to talk Bulk out of his targeting Billy so often in the aftermath of the Blue Ranger saving Skull from being crushed under fallen construction debris and commenting that Skull was not "just like a Ranger" when Skull tried to ingratiate Bulk and himself to him, claiming, "Rangers see everything." Which lead to Skull making an effort to change for the better moving forward.

In the World of the Coinless Universe, Billy was taken out by Drakkon very quickly in the aftermath of taking over the world and it was implied that Skull took up his duties as a spy soon after.

Moments:

Skull trying to apologize/excuse his and Bulk's behavior towards Billy after a fight where Billy yells at him about the reasons why Bulk and Skull seem to enjoy humiliating him, with the belief it's because he's smarter than them. Skull rebukes this by claiming it was only because he acted like he was smarter than them.

The Blue Ranger saving Skull from being crushed under debris and the subsequent conversation that leaves the both of them somewhat changed in little ways moving forward.

Coinless Skull being at the old abandoned Juice Bar with the other Coinless to greet the Prime Universe Billy, Trini, and Zack to get them up to speed on what was happening in their dimension after having gotten Coinless Zack out of the palace (possibly) without blowing his cover. He made it possible for the Rangers to rescue Ninjor, despite it leading to his own sacrifice.

Billy observing Skull's introducing Candice Clark (aka Zelya of Eltar) to Bulk as "Kinda my girlfriend...Kinda." With Kim being curious as to what was happening with Billy calling the situation "mutually assured destruction".

Skull performing 'bunny ears' behind Billy's head during a photoshoot for the homecoming dance.

Skull and Billy both being in attendance for Tommy's funeral; both brought to tears.

Billy not at all being surprised when Skull's first canonical girlfriend in the comic series turned out to be an alien spy. Disconcerted, but not surprised.

Children:

In the original series canon, Skull was father to son Spike Skullovitch, mother unknown.

Billy Cranston in the Once & Always special became guardian to Trini's daughter Minh alongside Zack Taylor.

Quotes:

"You're, like, my best friend. And besides...Skull And Bones protect the galaxy, right?" -Pre-Teen Billy Cranston, Go Go Power Rangers #3.

Skull: "Billy, all the stuff we do, we're just...ya know, messing around..." Billy: "Messing around? You make every day of my life a living hell. And why, because I'm smarter than you?" Skull: "...No, it's because you've always acted like you are." -Go Go Power Rangers #3

Skull: "My buddy Bulk and I, we're a lot like you..." Blue Ranger: "Are you? Because Power Rangers see everything." Skull: "Um..." Blue Ranger: "Everything." Skull: "...Oh." -Go Go Power Rangers #4

"Everyone always tells me how smart I am. But you know what comes with being smart? Fear. If there's an undesirable outcome--no matter how minor--trust me, I find it." -Billy Cranston, Go Go Power Rangers #6

Skull: "Hey, Bulk, maybe we lay off of Billy for once?" Bulk: "Is it my fault he makes it so easy? Buddy, if we don't challenge him, who will?" -Go Go Power Rangers #10

Behind the Scenes:

"I wanted to be Billy!! I just wanted to be Billy, that's all I wanted!!" -Jason Narvy, Power Rangers Q&A at ConnectiCon 2015.

Songs:

"The Next Time I Fall" by Peter Cetera and Amy Grant.

Fanon:

It is considered a rarepair by the general fandom that simply coasts by while looking through the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers fanfiction or fanart. However, in the comic fandom, it is the pairing with the highest number of fics and does fairly well among fanartists.

Oftentimes, the fandom ships the pair in a fix-it fic, hurt/comfort, angst and fluff capacity. Childhood friends to Enemies to Lovers is a common trope, and when it comes to the Coinless Universe, there is the exploration of the What If scenario of Billy surviving, Haunting as a Grid Ghost, or Resurrection.

People most often claim to have started shipping for them very late into the third season of the original MMPRs or the third issue of the GGPR comic.

-Romantic: Nine times out of ten the relationship is walked into with a slow burn or excited utterance on the part of either Billy or Skull. Consistently is not often found in the fandom at large, except among the writers who advocate for them most often. -Friendship or Family: There have been no family centric works for them, but friendship is sometimes touched down on in Skull making an effort to change from being a bully or Billy finding himself feeling somewhat abandoned by his Ranger friends or out of sorts from his time on Aquitar.

Trivia:

Billy Cranston started working for Promethea behind his Ranger friends' backs and at one point was almost kicked out of being a Ranger during the events just before the Eltarian War Arc in the comics, which gave off the impression that he was both depressed and willing to take his punishment without much of a fight. This ran parallel with Skull's desperation to find his kind-of-girlfriend, looking into every nook and cranny throughout Angel Grove, despite her actually being perfectly safe and merely bailing on him without any kind of explanation for her actions. Both of them were undergoing new changes and revealing deeper parts of themselves the further into the Arc the comic went.

Skull can play piano and a couple other instruments in both the original series and in the comics. However, in the original series he was ashamed to be known for specializing in classical piano until Adam Park talked him into playing in the school talent show; in the comics it was revealed through the Instagram Alternative Covers that he openly plays where people can see him and appreciated immensely.

Billy created a backup system in the Command Center in the event that Zordon's tube was ever destroyed, which then had him transferred to a robot body he created within Promethea without Grace Sterling's knowledge. This allowed him to fight during the ending of the Eltarian War Arc and confront Lord Zedd (aka Zophram of Eltar) and Zartus of Eltar about a ruse that was the reason the two had become mortal enemies.

In an Annual for the MMPR comics, Bulk and Skull were both given never-before-seen Power Coins by Zordon due to the sage having no other choice but to recruit them to save the other Rangers from a monster that had devoured the entire group. Bulk became the Purple Mighty Morphin Ranger and Skull became the Orange Mighty Morphin Ranger. Their memories were erased without any thanks at all, despite their getting the job done, with the implication that this was not part of canon events for the timeline. However, in the Charge to 100 comic event, the artist Dan Mora featured them in a massive poster of all canon Rangers throughout the television and comic series, which gives alternative implications for many of the Rangers featured.

In the comics, Bulk and Skull are merely interested in maintaining a journalistic podcast of the Rangers in their battles against Rita and have thus far given no implication of wanting to unmask them.

The Coinless Universe version of Billy Cranston died before the age of twenty-one, with Lord Drakkon having either shot or stabbed him right through the heart while Billy was defending the Coinless Trini. Among the Coinless Rangers, only Billy's coin never fell into Drakkon's hands.

Billy lobbied for Matthew Cook to be the Blue Ranger during the Go Go Power Ranger's Infiltrator Putty Arc, and lobbied for Matthew again when he obtained the Green Dragon Coin for Grace Sterling's New Green Ranger.

In the World of the Coinless, Skull was the only spy working espionage within the Red Sentry ranks of Drakkon's army. When Drakkon was banished to a prison dimension, he was moved up the ranks to Brigade Commander, which made him 8th in Command of the entire sentry army.

In the Darkest Hour Arc, Bulk and Skull--as well as Ernie--were some of the few human individuals to sign up for Promethea training to protect Earth in the even that the Rangers failed/were possessed by Dark Specter. They were also allowed into the Command Center, though were never let in on the Ranger's identities in spite of already being involved in fights against invading forces with Jason vouching for them.

I totally forgot I had this on the backburner for @skyland2703 and had it here in drafts the whole time.

Reading Shattered Grid and I wish the app let me take screenshots because the way Drakkon manspreads on his throne is hilarious. Dude is conquering the multiverse with his whole pussy out.
