so, I have a few things to say
141 power rangers somehow manifested in my brain without any remorse, mainly because I was pissed that two of the original zord powers/suits werent dinosaurs and were mammals. so now we got Ghost(Ankylosaurus), Laswell(Pterodactyl), Price(T-rex), Soap(Triceratops) and Gaz(Stegosaurus). I also switched the Pterodactyl colours because as much as I love pink, it is a little too on the nose with the whole stereotypical gender colours and also I dont think Laswell would appreciate that. Yeah anyways so the way that rangers become rangers is they have to die so that the government cant have any identification ties to the current rangers. If they die with the core values that rangers follow there is a chance for them to be ressurected as a ranger(if there is a spot open on the roster, and its not 50/50, more like 13/87, it can take a good 20-30 years for the roster to be full) where they get their body modified to endure the battles and become retroactively immortal(NOT PERMANENT, they can die from really severe injuries, but then they get ressurected again, but are put out of commission for like a good week(they can also die on the spot when they retire their abilities(this is for comedic purposes)) The suits have a catalyst item(usually an item that was on their person when they die) that the rangers must wear if they want their suits, which they can morph into the three different options on command, usually verbal, with Ghost as the exception(for plot reasons(trust me)) The very patterned suits are what they wear if they are doing like, public service, since the rangers do some o that in the series, with the whole like, entertaining the idea of interviews and putting on little shows for kids. Those suits arent meant for battle because I keep twitching while watching any fight scenes because the suit fabrics look so thin. So in this the suits are more to appeal to the public eye more if they appear because they are percieved as more friendly and approachable. And then there are the battle suits(which Ghost is wearing in the second drawing), those are fully armoured but still flexible for the battlefield. There are two versions, day camo(havent drawn yet) and night camo. oh yeah and these guys are shapeshifters, with or without the catalyst they can morph, contrary to expectations, small AND large forms are the hardest to morph into alone. They can also morph into a conglomerate and manage the form coodependantly while doing things independently so that less time is wasted on just one persons reaction time hindering an attack(This is my version of the Zords in this AU) anyways that is my yap fest over.

Tali’s first Halloween
Wrote for a drabble challenge for the MEFFW FB group ^^
October 31st. Tali didn't understand the importance of that day on the Earth calendar, but Shepard is so excited about it that is making all the crew wait for it expectantly. She has organised a little party on her Citadel apartment. A costume party. How they expect the team can find time to make or buy costumes in the middle of the war surprises her, but as always, EDI has been more than resourceful, helping them to find the perfect thing for them, ordering what she can't create on the Normandy replicator. Tali has sat with Shepard and Sam for hours, thinking about a costume for her, and why not, for Garrus, if he was amenable to the idea. Ideas flow, but nothing stirred her brain until Sam's omnitool sounded, a call from Garrus to ask her to run a new test on the weaponry. Nothing surprising, he does it almost every hour, but the music, the song that sounded related to him, brings the idea to his mind. "I know what I will wear! Keelah! How I've been so blind? Fleet and flotilla! I can be Sarve'er, and he can be Hierax. He will look hotter than Kaeli'steiz on this costume!"
Sam is clapping on the chair, "That will be awesome, Tali!"
Shepard is grinning like a little child, "Can't wait to see our stern Garrus dressing in casual clothes, I never saw him outside his armour."
A little cough coming from Tali makes Sam and Shepard exchange a knowing look, but the quarian hits their legs to stop the teasing. "I can--" another cough and Shepard knows, even without seeing her face under the mask, she must be blushing. "I can vouch he will wear them very well. Now I just need to convince him to do it. I'll let you know what he says!"
Leaving Shepard's quarter, Sam and she giggle together, knowing beforehand what will be Garrus answer.
The night of the party arrives, and after days of preparation, hours spent walking the Citadel searching for the perfect pattern for her hood, and lots of swearing in the little space she and Garrus created on the main battery to work on their costumes, they are ready. Getting ready on the Normandy, they leave the ship with a happy grin, Garrus even risk to grab her hand on their way to the skycar, making her giggle happily.
Reaching Shepard's apartment, Grunt is working as the doorman again, dressed in a cute costume of a t-rex, one Shepard has ordered specially for him, with tiny fake hands on his chest and a long tail. Instead of his usual greeting, he fakes a loud roar, swinging his tail before stepping aside, making Tali laugh. The sound of his 'heh heh heh' follows them inside.
Reaching the kitchen, they find there all the crew and all the teammates, including Jack and Miranda, who are dressed as princesses, with a grinning Joker beside them, dressed as a pirate. He was almost screaming how he has beaten them at poker and won the right to choose their costumes. Jack is looking at him with daggers in her eyes. But every time Miranda looks at her and smiles, the softness returns to her eyes. She is enjoying this part of the bet at least. Shepard and Sam are dressing as characters from an old movie from Eart, War Stars or something like that. They look gorgeous, Shepard in a white military uniform and Sam in camo suit. James is there too, wearing a blue catsuit with his underwear over the pants? But he looks hot, all muscles and defined abs. She was ogling him when Garrus hits her shoulder playfully, making her giggle and returning his attention to her partner. Kaidan and Cortez are wearing matching costumes too, vampires. They have tried to describe the idea to them, but she didn't understand it, and Garrus just said 'nice teeth', and they stopped trying to explain it.
Jack is the first to see them. "Hey Tiny! It is a costume party! No one told you? And Spiky, is good to see you outside the armour, but civies aren't a costume!"
Tali is the one to answer while Garrus just chuckles, knowing what is coming. "We are dressing up as Sarve'er and Hierax, you bosh'tet!"
The biotic's face shows clearly that she didn't know what the hell is she talking about. "Fleet and flotilla? Main characters? You know, that thing called movies that normal people watch?" With a huff and a dismissive movement of her tiny hand, Tali leaves the kitchen, moving directly to the bar behind the fireplace.
Jack is looking perplexed to the retiring form of Tali, not knowing what has just happened. Garrus shrugs, following Tali and leaving the rest to deal with Jack. Shepard is the one who moves closer to her with a sigh. "Ok, let me explain the short version. She BREATHES Fleet and Flotilla. She dreams about it, like the cute cinnamon roll she is, with the romance and the love between their characters." Jack keeps looking at her with a raised brow, arms crossed under her chest, the image ridiculous with the tattoos showing in the neck of the dress and her hair falling on a side of her face. Shepard just points behind her, in the direction of the bar. "The movie tells the love story of a Turian and a Quarian..."
That seems to make Jack understand and she swears loudly. "Damn fuckity! I need to-- EDI, do you have any pic of the movie?" EDI, who is dressing in a maid costume, to Joker dismay, shows her the cover of the movie. Jack's grin turns into a happy grin. "Come on, robo-lady. We have a photoshoot to do on one of Shepard's railways."
Soon, Tali giggles reach Shepard, making her smile fondly.

These Early 2000s Trends are Coming Back Strong in 2019
The early 2000s were an enigma in the realm of fashion, when bare midriffs, orange spray tans and Britney and Justin’s denim-on-denim moment at the 2001 American Music Awards were all considered the height of fashion.
While we assumed that many of the questionable fashion trends of the early 2000s would remain in our photo albums and on VHS tapes, plenty of the era’s style staples are undergoing a renaissance thanks to top models and It-girls like Bella Hadid and Sofia Richie, taking them from cringe to crave. Here are four trends from the early 2000s that are ready for a redux in 2019.
Low Rise Denim
Just when we all got comfortable in our high-waisted mom jeans, the low-rise trend is creeping back. This denim trend is stirring up a lot of controversy across social media. In the early 2000s, starlets like Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan adopted the denim cut that shows off the whole midriff. Now that the trend is returning, people on Twitter seem to be polarized, either begging for this trend to die or hoping that low rise is back for good. Love it or hate it, the pendulum seems to be swinging in the opposite direction of our favoured comfortable high-waist denim, with designers like Linder featuring low-rise on their runways.

Camo
Camo has a sneaky (yes, pun intended) way of coming and going every few years. Destiny’s Child rocked the look on stage numerous times in the 2000s, and now it has become a trend that refuses to dissipate. Off-White brought camo back for their Resort 2019 collection, and The Weeknd had a camo-themed birthday bash, where his whole entourage (including Bella Hadid) sported camo from head-to-toe. This print will finish your cool-girl streetwear look with the perfect amount of edge.

Cargo Pants
While we shudder at the thought of wearing cargo pants tucked into calf-high boots ever again, it appears the multi-pocketed pants are making a comeback. Celebs including Fergie, Gwen Stefani and Christina Aguilera all sported the baggy trousers at one point in the early 2000s, aiming for the perfect mix of stylish queen bee meets rule-bending misfit. Now, streetwear brands like I.AM.GIA and Prix Workshop, reviving the staple piece with bodysuits and sneakers.

Baby Tees
Crop tops have been trending for a while now in all cuts and colours, but we’ve noticed the shrunken proportions of the baby tee have been creeping back. Now that athleisure has become a style staple, what better way to style baggy sweats than with a cropped tee? We’re down for anything that includes wearing sweats more often.

Lessons from Beychella: how to dress like Beyoncé this summer | Fashion
A new word was invented on Saturday night: Beychella, the rightful portmanteau for Beyoncé performing at Coachella and making it a festival – indeed a world – where she is queen and everyone else should just admit defeat. This was as true in terms of fashion as it was in performance. Beyoncé is a full-package kind of superstar after all. All clothes were designed in collaboration with the creative director of Balmain, Olivier Rousteing, and two costume changes occurred in the first five minutes of a two-hour set. While they were all kinds of fabulous, they also contained secrets of your style for the months ahead, along with some insights into what Beyoncé is thinking. Here are five points of interest from the Beychella wardrobe. Bow down.
1912 is the year to namecheck

That was when the bust of Nefertiti was discovered in Egypt. The queen has since been an icon of regal female beauty, so Beyoncé rightly feels an affinity. This dates back to Sorry, when the singer wore her hair to resemble the Nefertiti sculpture’s headpiece, while her most recent line of merch is dedicated to the Egyptian queen. Beychella’s opening outfit with headpiece and bodice is more than a little Nefertiti, and, to underline the point, she also features in sequins on the back of her cape. According to Rousteing, Jay-Z was a big fan of this look. Pharoah costume incoming.
Education, Beyoncé-style

Beyoncé is a woman who knows about optics. See a T-shirt she wore featuring a Beyoncé-themed crest: there’s a bee for her fans, the Beyhive; a black-power salute; a black panther; and Nefertiti, overseen by the Eye of Horus. The internet has said it nods to “black Greek” culture, and African-American sororities on university campuses. Political statement through icons – kind of like emojis if you think about it – feels very now. We would be willing to bet this crest will feature on merch at tour stops this summer.
Blue and yellow

A yellow hoodie and jean shorts are set to be the everyday outfit of Beyhive members this summer. It’s a bit surfer, a bit out-all-day-so-better-take-a-jumper. Beyoncé has history with yellow – she wore it in the Hold Up video from Lemonade – but this shade is slightly more urban, more multistorey car park, if you will. It is also a perfect match for denim and, if so inclined, white-fringed go-go boots.
Army of Bey

The accessory of the summer? For Beyoncé, it’s her former bandmates. Destiny’s Child collaborators Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams made a cameo at Beychella, all dressed in various versions of camo. OK, it was a route-one reference to them singing Soldier, and fitted the marching-band backdrop, but it was also an endorsement of a trend coming up in mortals’ wardrobes too, even onsite at Coachella. Make it your festival fabric of choice. And if you don’t have the other members of a 90s R&B band to accessorise with, a pair of Timberlands will do just fine.
The beret is the woke hat of choice

The beret is Picasso in a Breton top, it’s Bonnie in Bonnie and Clyde, it’s Che Guevara. At the subtly politically charged Beychella, however, it’s the favoured headgear of the Black Panther party, one of whom described the beret as “an international hat for the revolutionary”. While Beyoncé herself was bare-headed most of the time, her dancers all wore matching berets, as did the 200-strong marching band sourced from historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) across the US. This isn’t just a hat, then – it’s a radical statement.

'It requires a certain confidence to pull it off' - why I love Stone Island | Fashion
Of all the sportswear labels to go hip, who saw this coming? But Stone Island is hip, and this summer it’s everywhere. Its outerwear is on billboards in major cities, and even GQ is writing fashion pieces about it. Across the Atlantic, rappers Drake and Travis Scott have become Stone Island’s unofficial US ambassadors.
To me it makes sense. Stone Island takes a certain confidence to pull it off. I own a 1989 Camo Ice jacket and these jackets can sometimes wear you and not the other way round.

And elsewhere, the evidence is stacking up. This week it was announced that a third of the Italian heritage business is being sold to the same company that owns Farfetch, the online retailer, in a bid to send the label global. Matchesfashion.com describes Stone Island as “incredibly popular” this season, while Harvey Nichols has earmarked its lightweight outerwear as part of the “sports lad” look for this coming autumn/winter. It’s unusual that the department store even stocks it – £100 for a T-shirt is a lot, though not by Harvey Nichols’ standards. “And yet Stone Island consistently remains one of our best performing brands, with sales growing year on year” says Olly Smith, its menswear buyer.
Perhaps the most pivotal moment came when Drake Instagrammed a picture of himself a couple of years ago, mentioning Top Boy (the Channel 4 drama set in London) while wearing the label. Drake loves London. Everybody knows that. So much that the Mercury prize-winning grime artist Skepta’s label, BBK (Boy Better Know) put out one of his tracks. He wore the label for every UK date of his recent Boy Meets World tour. Of all the reasons why Stone Island is peaking, Drake wearing it is surely one of them.

Stone Island was created in 1982 in a design lab in Bologna by Massimo Osti. The Italian’s roots lay in industrial design, hence Stone Island became synonymous for its stripped-back aesthetic, which focused on technical fabrics and functional design, topped off with the unmistakably iconic compass logo patch. This might feel at odds with Italian fashion, particularly in the 1980s, geared as it was around sophisticated ready-to-wear. But soon after it launched, it became something else – to many of us it was code for a particular type of lad.
Outerwear from the Stone Island autumn 2017 collection.
It was initially synonymous with two European tribes: the Paninari, 1980s-era Milanese youth who loitered around burger bars, and casual-wearing football lads in the UK. The Paninari looked like Duran Duran meets The Breakfast Club, wearing brightly coloured winter coats over Levi’s or Armani jeans and Timberland, and were signifiers, in one way, of capitalism in Italy. Stone Island would become a marker for their movement.
In the UK, meanwhile, the label proliferated on the terraces of Stoke City, Motherwell, Blackburn and in the post-industrial towns and cities of the north, entering into fashion folklore as a tough, working-class premium brand that could set you back a couple of months’ wages for a single jacket.
Its popularity has waned over the years but it still resonates with a certain type of man. When Liam Gallagher got enraged after someone stole his Stone Island jacket at Glastonbury this year, those same men felt for him. So the fact that it has become popular with a new generation of youth is surprising. As with anything involving a brand that has obsessive loyalty, fans may take umbrage with fashionable types co-opting their stuff. I was a bit baffled myself. But the truth is, it’s still there, on the terraces and among the pints.
And it makes sense – there has been a shift back to this sort of style: nostalgic, comfortable, hyper-masculine, unfiltered, all of which may explain the resurgence. That said, sometimes fashionable people just want well-made, technical clothes. Smith thinks it’s part of a wider movement within the luxury market: “We’re just noticing an increased interest in that sort of casual style label,” he says.

There are other theories. A recent article in the New York Times chanced upon a trend called “gorpcore” to represent fashion that borrows from the more practical brands worn by outdoors types. This is fashion as function, with labels like Stone Island (alongside Patagonia and North Face) being worn in a fashion-happy manner. Not head-to-toe North Face, but North Face paired with Calvin Klein and Palace. Gorpcore isn’t responsible for the return of Stone Island, but it does mark the tipping point for the practical, sportswear look that Stone island has been doing so well for the past 30-odd years.
It’s difficult for fans like me to write about Stone Island in a fashion context. Before the internet made it acceptable to have entire message board forums dedicated to the discussion of jackets, trainers and menswear brands, the men I knew didn’t talk about this stuff. We would see our friends wearing a nice jacket at the football or the pub and think, “Bastard, he’s got one of those” and then sneak off to find one in a different colour.
I sense that classic British working class ethic of, ‘Can’t afford it? Watch me, mate.’ And with the added factor of its past on the football terraces, it is a no-brainer that it became the go-to label for today’s young “roadman. For every angry-Stone Island dad there is a new Stone Island road youth, complete with side-bag and pair of Air Max. It is the natural law of the universe.
As to what happens next, we’ll see. There have been some clever collaborations with NewYork skate brand Supreme, as seen on Zayn Malik, and an opening of a grand Manhattan flagship store. Who knows, the Italian brand may finally have got the global foothold it deserves.
