Top 5 Power Ranger Side Characters

Top 5 Meme

Former Lt. Stone; he goes through SO much while having Bulk and Skull under him, but even then... he believes in them and honestly thinks they can do good in the world. Even after everything, Stone's still there for them supporting in the background. He's probably the only parental figure they trust completely.

Ernie from MMPR. The original adult that I'm pretty sure figured out the identities of the Rangers straight from the get-go. And no one can convince me otherwise.

Angela Fairweather. Let's be real. She's the only reason Lightspeed is as successful as it is.

Kat Manx. I love how motherly but also stern she is with the Rangers, and with Boom. She's helps them grow into better people and rangers, and her knowledge of ranger technology plus Space interrelations is invaluable.

Hayley from Dino Thunder. Do I really need to say more? It's Hayley. She's Queen and deserves more than just a pay raise and a vacation.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"

just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible

I’ll never quite get over just how integrated kids are into daily Jedi life and the implications of that.

Dooku’s Temple "job" for years seems to have been “teaching lightsaber preschool.” Sifo-Dyas, the guy with the scary doom visions? Oh yeah, they have him working with infants, bringing babies to the Temple as a Seeker. Jocasta Nu is constantly depicted interacting with the younger generation of Jedi, teaching, helping, or mentoring. In TCW, she knows all the Padawans on sight. 

There’s just something really ordinary and charming to me about this. Sure, Dooku is a terrifying 2m of spider limbs in a robe, but he’s still going down on one sinister knee to check out the little crying kid who got a finger crunched by one of those wooden training swords. How many of the TCW-era Jedi were once babies who played with Sifo-Dyas’s hair loopies or cuddled on his chest as he pointed his T-6 back toward the Temple after another successful Seeking mission? (Space is, after all, cold. 🥺) You just know Jocasta is in very reluctant possession of knowledge of every single teen Padawan drama, crush, or breakup. She tries to stay out of it, but she’s broken up fights and pulled particulars into her office for tea and a gentle lecture on the inherent self-destructiveness of gossip. 

And these are not “just some” Jedi - they are all combat trained, politically important, at the top of their rank and even each sit on the Council at some point in their lives. The Jedi Order really went “super powerful space wizards with laser swords, yeah, but they should also all definitely know how to change a diaper."

Same As The Day I Lost You

I...

This came to me as I'm making dinner so I'll be quick.

What if we mix deaged Danny and twin/older sibling (either one works) Damian, AND he gets tossed to his sibling in a last minute escape.

Like what if he was fighting Vlad who was doing his whole "denounce your father and join me as my son Daniel!" Thing while in the Zone and knocks Danny into something that's floating in the Zone with the ability to deage or was hit by a new Fenton or Plasmius invention while fighting in town that accidentally deages him.

Danny, who in this was adopted, gets put back to the age of six. The same age he had been found by Jazz in a 'haunted' forest Jack and Maddie were visiting/investigating while also using that time as a family vacation. (They were shocked to see a little boy with a stab wound bleeding out and rushed him to the nearby town, almost completely forgetting about the glowing green tiny puddle they found nearby and bagged most of it as evidence when they heard Jazz's scream of terror over finding the hurt little boy)

The sudden revert into that traumatized age, along with the child response to a fight or flight scenario, and add Danny's deepest need/wish to be protected his child fogged mind wishes to go to the one person who always made him feel safe.

His twin/older brother.

Just as quick as it was with Danny being turned into a child, his ghost powers ripped open a portal and sent Danny to the person he wants to be with...

Only he didn't know that right at that moment his seventeen year old twin/older brother is currently fighting the League with his family's help (his mother was trying to convince him to return to the League and be it's heir) in Nanda Parbat (the very place Damian lost the last/only person he knew loved him without any strings attached.)

So imagine everyone's face when a portal opened up, some muttering its a new pit being formed before them or something, and crawling out of it is a very scared and confused six year old Danny.

Be awake!

(A short story about common sense and civil courage.)

Young law students are gathered in a lecture room of their university.

Ready to learn their first lesson - and it's gonna be a true life lesson.

The professor enters and takes a look around.

"You there, second desk. Blue jacket. What is your name?" he asks a student.

"My name is Alexis."

"Please leave my lecture room. I don't want to see you at one of my lectures ever again."

Everyone is quiet.

The student is irritated.

"I don't understand."

"I am not going to ask a second time. Thank you."

The student packs her things, gets up silently and leaves the hall.

The other students are speechless too.

Quite shaken not to say shocked.

They stare at the professor who looks at them attentively.

"Why are there laws?" he asks the group.

Still, nobody dares to speak.

Everyone looks at the others.

"What are laws for?" the professor asks again.

"Social order." someone says hesitantly.

"To protect a person's personal rights." Another student says.

A third replies.

"So that you can rely on the state."

The professor is not satisfied.

"Justice!" calls out a student.

The professor gives her a warm, encouraging smile.

"Thank you very much. Did I behave unfairly towards your classmate earlier?"

Everyone nods.

"Indeed I did. Why didn't anyone protest?

Why didn't any of you try to stop me?

Why didn't you want to prevent this injustice?" he asks.

Silence.

"What you just learned you wouldn't have understood in 1,000 hours of lectures if you hadn't lived it.

You didn't say anything just because you weren't affected yourself.

This attitude speaks against you and against life. You think as long as it doesn't concern you, it's none of your business.

I'm telling you, if you don't say anything today and don't bring about justice, then one day you too will experience injustice and no one will stand before you.

Justice lives through us all.

We have to fight for it. In life and at work, we often live next to each other instead of with each other.

We console ourselves that the problems of others are none of our business.

We go home and are glad that we were spared. But it's also about standing up for others.

Every day an injustice happens in business, in sports or on the tram.

Relying on someone to sort it out is not enough. It is our duty to be there for others.

Speaking for others when they cannot.

I am here to teach you the power of your voice.

I want you to learn criticial thinking

to empower you to stand up for what is right even if it means going against what everyone else is doing.

Let's begin."

Based upon a post by Joerg Storm and a short film by Chiara Gizzi.

Broke: Saying the only reason Mai acted against Azula in the boiling rock was because of Zuko but that's okay

Woke: Saying that Mai was probably not the biggest fan of Azula in the first place because of her treatment of both herself and Ty Lee, but demonizing her for being selfish and not caring/ understanding Zuko's decision to leave the FN and join the Gaang

Bespoke: Realizing that although Mai's character and her relationship with Zuko was flawed, she genuinely cared about him and Ty Lee and she still has more of her journey to complete without being an accessory to Zuko's story

AU where Loki doesn’t interfere with Thor’s banishment at all and it takes Thor years to prove himself worthy and when he returns to Asgard everything is just. The same. Nothing seems to have changed at all and everyone greets him like his absence was a minor obstacle that didn’t fundamentally change Thor and the worst part is Loki stepped down from the place as regent without any delay and Thor can’t help but feel there’s something underlaying the way his brother looks at him now and won’t let him touch him and Thor doesn’t know what he could have missed because he doesn’t think he would have found anything wrong with the things around him and how everyone behaves if he hadn’t spent time on Earth reflecting.

I think if I could give the QSMP team one piece of advice, it would be to hire someone who's a really good and experienced TTRPG gamemaster as a consultant

That's a very specific and difficult skill to acquire (I definitely couldn't do it) but it could do so much for the storytelling and the events. Even just small things that an experienced GM could tweak subtly because they know how to direct or redirect players smoothly in the directions they want them to go, without having to force it

And they would probably be able to predict certain player reactions and prepare for them better

I mean obviously it's not all transferable to this format, livestreamed Minecraft roleplay is very different from a tabletop roleplaying game, but I think a lot of it would be, understanding player psychology, etc.

And I get the feeling that the current admin team is maybe more experienced in like video game design? or maybe Minecraft adventure map design? rather than a fully interactive medium (I mean it would make a lot of sense to hire adventure map designers for a project like this, and it definitely seems like they have people who are very talented at those kinds of skills, so I'm assuming that was a priority in their recruitment efforts)

My point is, having a different perspective would help, I think, and good GMs are still such an underrated talent
