Rise of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers (Non-Canon) - Madame Drakkon & The Ranger Slayer

In another timeline, the Rise of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers was much, much less of a rise.

(Rise' World of the Coinless deets under the cut, i'm having fun)

In another timeline, Rita's attack on Grace Oliver left her severely injured and near death. This threw Tommy into a fit, which forced the shadow out of her body in an incredibly traumatic and painful manner. Desperate, she pleaded with Zordon to help her mother, but the White Light confirmed her fears. Grace was gone.

Unstable and still reeling from Rita being ripped from her body, Tommy would seek out where the shadow was hiding, tracking her down to an abandoned warehouse on the docks. She would witness the partial resurrection of Lord Zedd and barge in, demanding the Dark Spectre bring her mother back. The Spectre agreed, on the condition that the Green Ranger help him recover the other five Power Coins and reunite the Zeo Crystal.

Over the next few months, Tommy would slowly lose more and more of herself as she pursued more power and learned dark magic from a weakened Rita inhabiting the body of Dr. Finster. A final assault against the Rangers would see Jason attempt to combine the spectrum of the team's powers to become a White Ranger, only to be struck down by Tommy. She would claim the coins for herself, corrupting and forcing the coins into her own White Ranger form.

Zedd and Tommy, with their combined powers and now endless source of energy, would then conquer the Earth unopposed. But as more time went on without Zedd's promise fulfilled, the more Tommy began plotting to overthrow the Dark Spectre. She's be encouraged by Rita, now unable to leave Dr. Finster's deteriorating body and kept alive with salvaged parts from the destroyed Command Center.

As the last of Earth's defenders fell, Tommy struck down Zedd with the Black Dragon Saber, laying claim to his seventh Zeo Crystal shard and the planet and taking the name Madame Drakkon.

Years later, tired of her friends being captured or dying and at her wit's end, Kimberly Hart would decide today is the day Drakkon dies. But she would be captured, her mind taken over with a spell Drakkon had been perfecting for some time, and become her right hand with her old Power Coin as the Slayer Ranger.

Kimberly would later break the spell with the help of the Coinless Resistance, who'd been built by the combined efforts of Trini, Richie, Bulk and Skull. She'd then lead the Resistance against Madame Drakkon's regime, taking on the name Ranger Slayer as a symbol of her goal to slay the last Ranger on Earth.

So I saw rocky horror with my friend last march, it was AMAZING Anyhew we all dressed up and I made Magentas space suit from the end of the movie

It’s a cheap yoga mat, I made a mock-up on several bits of newspaper taped together and tried it on and then cut it out of the mat, then I covered it in a sequin fabric (because I didn’t want to quilt the thing, my fingies don’t deserve that) and i hot glued it on the back of the mat, I cut out the neck hole and glued the fabric to the back there too, the shoulder bits, pauldrons? Yeaheahhhhh pauldrons! Are made of black glitter foam (after several newspaper mock-ups) and got glued together, in the front and back they had a strip attaching them so I could tie em on with a strip of fabric to help keep ‘em in place and to help synch the waist before adding the belt, otherwise it’s soooo hard to fanangle it all, and the cuffs are also foam and hot glue and the jester anklets are glitter aider facing in and then curled down so it shows the glitter side and had some shape, I heated it briefly with a lighter then curled it in itself and let it cool, and I added Velcro dots later on when my mate wore it in a shadow cast because what I did when I wore it was just hot glue it to itself and hope I didn’t destroy em taking em off at home

I made a second costume for the shadow cast for magenta and it was the same but I added a deep v neck.

So it’s really just a lot of newspaper mock ups, try em on, pin them to yourself, measure twice cut once cos crafting can be pricey!

Also you probs need more hot glue sticks than you think

I don’t think I would change anything on the costume it turned out really well but make sure you’re cutting thing out on the correct side of the foam cos otherwise you will end up with two left pauldrons and then you’ll do it once again when you make the second costume, idk how I managed to do it twice but eh you’d never learn if you never made mistakes

Also the yoga mat has a slit cut up the front and back to aid walking and movement, I was worried to add em but I knew if I didn’t need em I could fix the underside with hot glue and foam, if you can repair something don’t be afraid to break it

Oh yeah and I dressed as the usherette to hand out popcorn and my headpiece is glitter foam with a gem either side of Roxy and it’s all hot glued together and I sewed it to a tiara cos I wanted the option of taking it off the tiara for all my tiara needs, the popcorn bucket is a tiny washing basket I nicked from my ma and I added pink tissue paper on the inside and as a fringe and then double sided taped it all together and threaded a long ass bit of ribbon on to it to make a strap, and the collar and cuffs of my dress I sewed on, the cuffs are from my Transylvanian costume because I was warm and my shirt was a lil small (I’m just too buff for sleeves) so I cut off the sleeves, then I used the excess fabric to slap together a collar and I straight up used a mini hair tie to affix a circle of fabric over the button cos it was black, oh and the popcorn letters on the front are glitter foam too!

I make the mistakes so you don’t have to, learn from em, ask me the things :)
