RAWRRRRRRRRR ART TRADE WITH @killingerblue ‼️‼️‼️ ZHANE AND ANDROS BUT CINDERELLA THEMED~

This was genuinely so much fun to doooo~ The concept here was playing with ice motifs for Zhane, so of course we have to contrast that with making Andros fire. Does he have an ice slipper? Maybe ;)

Can be one or two pers season, or three from each era instead. Whichever you wanna do!

Ok so the context to this was “who do you think are the gayest power rangers?” and I am an idiot who didn’t realize deleting a draft deletes the ask. My answer:

Oh boy, do I have answers to this…

Number one unquestionably, stone hard fact that cannot be argued, is Andros. That man is not straight. Look at him. And by virtue of that, Zhane is 1.5 on the list.

Number 2: Leo. No explanation. Just watch the season.

Number 3: All of the Lost Galaxy women, including Cassie (as she was technically the lost galaxy ranger for one scrapped episode.) Maya especially, but shoutout to my bisexual queen Karone.

Number 4: Kelsey. Again, nearly entirely presented onscreen, bar an actual verbal confirmation of it being true.

Number 5: Vida. No explanation needed. But in a bisexual kinda way.

I’m not sure why this became a ranking but I don’t really think I should continue in this format?

Random unranked list of those not in my top 5:

*************************************************

-The entire Ninja Steel team. They’re all bisexual and in a relationship (except Brody and Levi because that would be grosssss). This is something about which I feel very strongly and I am of the opinion that they are the team whose poly ship makes the most sense. It's the easiest to imagine for them compared to any others (although the two space seasons are a close second). Also Princess Viera who was DEFINITELY checking Sarah out.

Reasoning: they’re not really ever split into distinct groups or pairs like many other seasons (for example, I can think of maybe two scenes AT MOST that Dana and Joel ever share alone in 40 episodes) and they all seem just equally close and affectionate with each other. There’s no tension or personality clashes, it’s just a normal, close group of high schoolers that you’d see in like Degrassi or something. They all fit well together.

Hayley and Sarah are a power duo, Preston and Sarah get a lot of scenes together, Preston and Hayley had that whole episode where she helped him get more confident in his magic, Preston and Brody don’t need explaining, Preston and Calvin have a lot of background moments together, Preston was always there to back up Levi in his focus episodes and Levi seemed to make Preston more secure as a person, Brody and Sarah have chemistry, Brody and Preston have chemistry, Hayley being a very ambitious and encouraging person helps Brody get out of his shell, Brody and Calvin are like the extrovert and introvert versions of each other, Hayley and Calvin are obvious, Hayley and Levi honestly had a lot of scenes together (I assume it's maybe due to them both living in NZ and therefore maybe being a bit more available for filming, but maybe it's a footage thing) and are the most level-headed and secure of the group, Sarah and Levi are like the chill guy-high energy girl combo but they're both very open and expressive people, Sarah and Calvin had that moment where they dance together and I'm pretty sure there was going to be a plot where they got together but the actresses for the two girls felt it would go against their characters' friendship so they definitely work as the two engineers on the team, and based on how Calvin was with Ace I could see him being towards Levi because, come on, he clearly had a celebrity crush on him.

*************************************************

-Casey and Lily. Lily because of her scenes with Camille and just honestly everything about Casey.

*************************************************

-Mike Corbett

Reasoning: The way he says "yes sir" to Commander Stanton in Quasar Quest Part 1 had me going 🤨. Like, sir, why are you saying it like that? Don't sound so eager. (side note: this happens a bit in Lightspeed Rescue too).

The way he and Kai look at each other at the end of Blue to the Test....i know what u are mister.

The way he looks at Andros on the megaship during To The Tenth Power....He and Leo both 100% have a crush on him. (The Ranger Danger podcast was divided on this, but they came to the conclusion that Mike just has chemistry with everyone he interacts with solely due to the acting and the way he looks at his scene partners, and I agree).

He is not actually affected by Trakeena in Stolen Beauty. Yes he does leave them to go off with Tracy but he had figured out her identity at this point. And he's polite when he meets her at the bar, but he just seems to be that way with everyone.

I saw someone ship him with Carlos and I don't hate it.

This is going to sound completely insane but I can see him with Wes and/or Eric. He seems like he'd go well with someone with a much stronger personality and both Wes and Eric are stubborn and a bit controlling with their like leadership and stuff and I feel like Mike is the exact opposite of that. On the other hand, he and Adam would be just the chillest pairing ever.

*************************************************

-Low key Xander from Mystic Force but in a more fluid/open kinda way where he'll just be down for anything.

*************************************************

-I can see Tyler crushing on guys and like Shelby just laughing along anytime he talks about like Channing Tatum or something

*************************************************

-Jayden is not interested in dating at all. Can't explain it more than that, he just doesn't seem like he'd care for that.
