[missunderstood-with-ideas]

Not enough people talk about how shitty Mentor Ji and Lord Shiba (Lauren and Jayden’s father) is.

Dude fr set his 5-7 year old son up as monster bait hoping that the monsters will hunt Jayden down and try to kill him all to protect his daughter.

Like that’s got to fuck Jayden up knowing that his father give no shits about his wellbeing and cared more about his sister than him. (Also Japan is a deeply patriarchal society and to have a daughter be considered over the son means that the son is useless or just so unworthy that it’s better that his is dead or disowned than be in charge) And Ji perpetuated this by making sure Jayden knew he was second rate place holder who is easily replaced. Not only that it’s shown that literally everyone but the other rangers knew he was the second son/place holder. (As Urther pendragon (another major AH) once put it “he isn’t worthless he is just worth less.”)

And Jayden is quite literally a Child soldier made by his dead father. Trapped in a house with little to no contact to the outside world to prevent distractions from the Plan. That Plan is that Lauren goes to master the symbol while Jayden draws the Nighlock away by goading them into fighting/killing him. And when Lauren returns Jayden is to leave immediately to prevent sibling infighting/power grab. Imagine telling this to a 5 year old, a 7 year old, a 12 year old, a 15 year old.

Like “Hey! So your sister was sent away to do a very important task and to make sure she succeeds in her very very important task you need to be a soldier and die for her no matter what! Oh also when she comes back you need to leave the only home you know immediately so that you aren’t tempted to challenge her or the other people in the house reject her for you because you aren’t a real Ranger you are just her place holder thus they can’t follow you over her. You got that? Good! You’re such a great brother.” Like???????

Not only that but at the end every one got a happy ending BUT JAYDEN. The other rangers got to leave and return to their lives. Antonio left AGAIN (after crushing so hard for 15!!!years!!!!) to go fishing around the world and go back home. And Lauren got to leave. Lauren got to pack up her stuff and decide to travel the world to find herself and her new purpose. (Good for her!) BUT What did Jayden get? To sit on a bench in the same damn house he was trapped in for his entire life with the man who trained him to die. He gets to sit there. AND CONTINUE TO TRAIN AND BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR ANY NIGHLOCK THAT MAY COME BACK!!!THATS IT!! THATS WHAT HE GETS!!! HE WILL DIE IN THAT HOUSE NEVER KNOWING THE OUTSIDE WORLD BESIDES WHAT HE SAW WHEN HE WAS FIGHTING OR WITH THE TEAM. THATS HIS ENDING!! AND WE ARE SUPPOSED TO BE HAPPY FOR HIM FOR THIS????

JAYDEN ENDS EXACTLY WHERE HE STARTED ABANDONED ALONE AND TRAPPED IN A HOUSE AND HIS DUTY

ALL BECAUSE OF HIS FUCKING FATHER AND MENTOR JI

Jayden has DADDY ISSUES AND THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPLORED MORE

When there's loving in the air

Don't fight it, just keep breathing

I can't help myself but stare

Double check for double meanings

I'm a man who's got very specific taste

They shouldn’t be doing this, and Kevin knows it. Not when Soulmates hang over them, their bond left unspoken in the middle of tangled limbs and quiet laughter and heated kisses. Not when Kevin can taste his own sweat on Mike's lips, when he can feel Mike's hands against his skin.

They shouldn't be doing this- or at least, that’s what Kevin keeps telling himself when he and Mike jerk each other off before bed. He never seems to listen to himself, though.

-aletterinthenameofsanity, my words are wrapped in barbwire (my actions speak for what I can't say)

Mike/Kevin surprisngly angsty and well-written characters in a friends-with-benefits Soulmate AU? Don't mind if I do!

(Shout out to @glitterfairy-21225 and @augment-techs! This is also one of my favorites in the series and I just had to make it early when making this aesthetic board/music series.)

Mike: Are you an F5 key? Because that ass is refreshing. 

Kevin: Are you a software update? Because not right now.

Antonio: *to other rangers* if i run and jump at Jayden, he'll drop anything he has in his hands to catch me.

Jayden: *walking in with take-out bags*

Antonio: *runs towards Jayden*

Jayden: Toni no, I have- *drops everything to catch Antonio*

Jayden: *wrapping arms around his boyfriend* you're lucky i love you

Mike: *staring at dropped food, trying not to cry* THAT WAS MY FOOD

Where's the lie?

[sbd-laytall]

Mike, you can't let go!

It's okay. You can carry on for me. You can do it. I've always been so proud of you, Leo. I always will be.

Every Green Ranger is at least a little bit queer. This is both true and non-negotiable.

Except Joel. Joel Rawlings, Sky Cowboy, is thoroughly and unwaveringly heterosexual. In fact, he's the only straight person on his team.
