OC-cember Day 2: The Demonic Blazers and The Blaze Family (Power Rangers OCs)
The Blaze Family are my OCs for the Power Rangers franchise, specifically for the series, though they do show up in the movies (especially in the 2017 reboot movie as different interpitations of L.G. and her friends) and I do plan on having them show up in the comics here and there (once I've read them, that is). They are PR-excusive villains, with the main ones that appear throughout the series are the Blaze group: Luna Gwen (L.G.), Lucy, Frederick (who is called Freddy by his friends), and Eleanora Sayara (E.S.), with L.G.'s older twin siblings Lucifer Rori (L.R.) and Solaris occasionally appearing here and there, and her parents (who at this point in time and as of this post don't have names) who rarely appear due to how busy they are, but they do have their appearances from time to time (whether they be calls or physical appearances in person).
They are essentially the Team Rocket of Power Rangers, with L.G. and her friends essentially being the Team Rocket Trio of PR (Jessie, James, and Meowth; technically L.G. and her friends are a group rather than a trio since there are four of them and not three of them, but I think you get the point of what I'm talking about).
Similarities between The Demonic Blazers and the Team Rocket Trio:
They appear in every season
They are a constant pain in the ass for the heroes outside of other antagonistic forces (Ash and his friends in Team Rocket's case and the Power Rangers in The Blazers case)
They play into the "we're bad guys, but we're not "bad guys" trope, as in while they do work for the bad guys of each season and have no problem helping them with their evil plans and goals (except if they've been betrayed, at which they would have no problem aiding the Rangers in taking them down), they do possess some redeeming qualities (aside from the aforementioned teaming up with the Rangers from time to time), such as loyalty, friendship, empathy, sympathy, and compassion.
I have a feeling jungle fury would definitely have the therapy animals. Also the similar type of rangers so their element or animal would have a separate group .
General Ranger Headcanons
Ranger Teams are protective of their youngest members and their Reds. Sometimes, this does coincide, but for the most part, the youngest and the Red are separate people
Red Rangers generally have zero self-preservation instincts, either because of trauma or daredevil personalities
Blue Rangers can be the 'tech wiz', but generally, they're just extremely intelligent
Rangers all have a pretty solid relationship with gender and pronouns. Mostly because they see and fight aliens literally every day and have decided they have Bigger Things to worry about
Reds, Yellows, and Blues are usually always there on the Ranger teams, so it's common for them to be close
Rangers have a list that they pass down to the younger teams. This list details little things like how to help give each other strength to what pain medications can help the aches and pains go away fastest, because yes the suits take most of the blows, but that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt later
Some Rangers have PTSD, some have anxiety, some have depression. There are, in fact, numbers of former-Ranger therapists that the Rangers all know by heart
Teams don't really drift apart, they stick together because who else is gonna understand what it's like to witness the people you hang around daily almost die every other week?
Rangers drift toward other Rangers. It's due to the Morphin' Grid power they've been imbued with and the Morphin' Grid's pull to itself
There's a point in every Ranger's fight that shift-sleeping becomes the norm amongst teams. It's to stop nightmares, but also because of the paranoia that strikes when you're in fight or flight mode too long
Rangers from space or space-adjacent stick together
Rangers in general stick together, always. Where one Ranger is, another is typically not far behind. Some teams go so far as to get houses together, others just in the same neighborhood or town. Never far from each other, and never away for too long
The Power will never, can never abandon its chosen people. Once it makes its choices, it will not deviate. It doesn't stop looking out for its chosen ones either. Once you've bonded to the Morphin' Grid, you're stuck for life, regardless of being active or not
In Universe, people write fanfiction about the Rangers. Yes, they read it, sometimes they even like it. (Megaforce and down in particular find it hilarious)
The scone the Rangers find out about their Super Sentai counterpart shows, it's on. Some find them hilarious, some find them uncomfortable, but it's all in good fun for all of them
A list of common triggers is passed around to the Ranger teams, including but not limited to: loud noises, bugs, fog, robotic voices/static
Some of the Rangers (especially those who've been fighting for years) get therapy animals
Rangers have problems connecting to people who aren't Rangers or don't know about Rangers. Similar to military or police or doctors, Rangers are never truly off unless they're inactive and even then, it's a roll of the dice as to if they'll be pulled back in. Most of them have been doing this since they were teens, so they never truly got a chance. Preston Tien, Ninja Steel Blue, once described the experience as "playing with a half-deck whilst the other decks are rigged against you" and most of the other Rangers agreed
Every Ranger knows the pain of Nightmares, which is a big part of the reason shift-sleeping became so common amongst teams. Sleeping disorders are also common, which is not easy for the Rangers to deal with. When you're trained from a young age to be fighters and saviors of the planet, you don't walk away without trauma
Rangers who've gone Evil (or started Evil) and come back to the side of Good have each other's direct lines, Tommy Oliver, Karone, Trent Fernandez-Mercer, etc, all of them share a similar fear of suddenly turning evil again
Rangers do not like Zordon for his express need to put teenagers into a war that isn't even their's
Jarrod appreciates your efforts to save bi lions.
... Like himself.
whatttt pff no of course i don't have a type of course i don't have a favorite pr ship dynamic (the obsession is getting worse i fear)
MY GOATS!!!
They were both Purple Rangers AND mentors (and absolutely slayed while being hot)
I love this so much you ate <33
my favorite purple rangers :3
RJ/Fran textposts (dw I'll be back on my Kendall/Heckyl bullshit soon I just need to make my adoration for these two apparent on my blog)
why are there no edits of fran on tiktok
literally everyone there has at least 1-2 edits EXCEPT my girl y'all sleep on her so hard 😒😒
Pinterest pose studies (ft. my otps)
YESSSS YES YES I LOVE THIS!!!
At first I thought it was gonna be too much when I proposed the idea but I'm glad it's actually coming to fruition (speaking of which I need to actually go write the fic lmao)
So far we've got:
Red Rangers
Leftovers
Main girlies
Leftovers but chaotic
Blue/Gold who have no clue wtf is going on
Team Boring
Team Dumbass
...and being hosted/moderated by the mentors (2 of whom unfortunately have boyfriends in Team Dumbass, the third just enables them)
They're all so cooked someone's gonna end up dead, I adore it
dino charge × jungle fury × rpm playing cards against humanity 😁
the teams were decided in the anything and everything discord server!!
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
RJ: Okay, listen up folks. We have a security situation here. As you know, when we reach a location, I will be conducting a security sweep. Also from now on, we'll be using codenames. You can address me as Eagle 1. RJ: Dom, codename 'Been There, Done That' RJ: Fran is 'Currently Doing That' *RJ & Fran high-five* RJ: Lily is 'It Happened Once In A Dream' RJ: Casey, codename 'If I Had To Pick Another Dude' RJ: Theo is...Eagle 2 Theo: Oh thank god.
Chat they're literally me 😂😂 (I'm cooked)
For the three people who give a fuck about RJ/Fran, after around 30 minutes of trying to come up with a ship name for them (which was exceptionally difficult given how RJ uses his initials), I propose the name Werewolf Novel
Werewolf Novel bc werewolf romance books, + he's got the wolf spirit (and literally became a werewolf for around 2 episodes) and she's an avid reader
YAY all of my top 3 otps have been on sky's ship bingo!!!
tbh fran strikes me as more 23 while rj is like 25 tops but all i know for sure is that homegirl is in her 20s
gonna yap for a bit but god i love them so much, love me a team mom x team dad dynamic (and she keeps him and the restaurant in check despite not being a ranger!! + he took her in and was her first friend even BEFORE the series started <333)
orange and purple are complementary colors and the same applies for fran/rj, they've got the whole sun & moon motif with her sun pins and how werewolves are associated w/ the night, and how she's always his guiding light
if dom weren't such a flat character i would've liked him & fran together but nothing is topping that werewolf scene...they're so beauty & the beast coded🫶🫶
(also casey/rj/fran would be amazing. casey & fran canonically have chair AND ice cream privileges so you can't tell me it's not bc they're rj's bf & gf)
since you already did kendall/heckyl.....rj/fran for the ship bingo plsplsplspls
Hear me out: they’re orange/purple. If we know ANYTHING AT ALL, it’s that these two colors go SO well together. And the both of them really ARE adorable. Okay, so yes they might have a bit of an age gap— but Fran’s very mature for her age (i hc she’s like 20 and RJ is ~27-30) BUT. Crisis management mom and calamity dad for the jungle cubs + the annoying traveler uncle (Dominic) for the jungle cubs is juuuuuuuust one of my favorite brainrots.
I love them platonically too tbh. RJ/Casey is one of my top ships, so *Yeets them together* Fran is supreme >>>>>
Ask me a ship for ship bingo UwU
i know this meme is super old but it fits too well
HAHAHAH YES HE WOULD TOTALLY DO THIS (definitely not because he's a tall purple guy himself)
Fran at first is confused as fuck but as he goes on she's lowkey into it
You cooked with this again lysm twin <333
rj explaining the fnaf lore to fran after sex
because he would.
honestly that's so real
i see the cubs as around 19 years old, so really the main ppl i'd feel super comfortable shipping casey with are theo & lily (and they really sunk the casey/lily ship early on lol, casey/theo's rivals to friends dynamic is pretty interesting to me so i'm more open to that but it's not like an otp)
ik i've talked about rj/casey & casey/rj/fran before but at the same time i see the dynamic as more of fran/rj being the parents while the cubs as their kids (and dom as the bachelor uncle who drops by every so often), so i'm torn bc i perceive it as more of a familial thing yk?? (especially that hc you have about rj being like an older brother to casey, that makes a lot of sense considering rj's ability to connect with the youth so you're not alone in that lmao)
similarly, the only rj ship i can say i'm a fan of with my whole chest is rj/fran, since she's way closer to his age and knows him a lot longer compared to the others (except dom, but rj/dom is giving a more 'amiable exes' kinda vibe and i have my own gripes w/ dom's character)
i realize probably don't ship Casey with really anyone. He's like the youngest of the group, I see him as like 17 while Theo and Lily are 18-19. RJ and are like 24.
Lily and him are a no. Especially after episode 3. Theo and Casey.. not a fan of the ship.
And I kinda saw his relationship with RJ as like as brothers (please don't kill me) Like he mentions only having sisters, I think he looked at RJ as like an older brother since RJ does take him under his wing a lot with training and small talks. (I actually don't ship RJ with really anyone beside Fran now thinking. I don't like mentor ships.)
normally don’t post my edits on here but i’m super proud of this one so rj/fran edit :]
