Out of all the rangers, who do you think is selling feet pics or has an OF on the side?

Wow…that’s the first time I’ve ever gotten an ask like this, I mean not that that’s an issue, just taken aback a bit. Uhhh, I’ll do you one better and make a list of what they’d do but man this is a wild ask☠️☠️☠️

MMPR - Turbo: No one is doing anything nefarious but I’m pretty sure Tommy did some questionable things to pay for rent and college funds.

In Space: Tbh no one

Lost Galaxy: Probably Leo would be a stripper but thats from an old fic I read.

Lightspeed Rescue: Everyone gets paid by the government so they’re off limits.

Time Force: Eric being on his Vivian Ward era back in college, living on some Pretty Woman type shit.

Wild Force: Cole but he doesn’t understand what OF means.

Ninja Storm: The infamous Hunter/Three Motocross Bikers….will not say more☠️

Dino Thunder: Trent is selling steamy art to pay the bills, let’s not question what he’s drawing.

SPD: Sky, don’t ask

Mystic Force: That’s up for you to decide, I’ll leave this ambiguous.

Operation Overdrive: Tyzonn but in his mercury form, some people have weird kinks☠️

Jungle Fury: RJ, both of the original options. Paying the bills incase grass sales are done…and werewolf stuff makes bank Knot

RPM: Ziggy and Dillon, that camera in the garage isn’t just for display.

Samurai: Jayden and Antonio…look they both live in their own and Jayden has no working experience and Antonio has an ability akin to certain animations online…people will pay GOOD money to see them used on that pathetic red ranger🐙

Megaforce: Robo knight, next question.

Dino Charge: Riley and Tyler.

Ninja Steel: Don’t like them enough to think about this, but Preston probably sells drawings

Just a heads up, there are bots going around on AO3 accusing people of using AI. Considering the timing, this is likely AI bros' retaliation for AO3 users calling them out for scraping their work. Examples of what you might be sent:

I hate when I say things like "oh I want an ipod classic but with bluetooth so I can use wireless headphones" and some peanut comes in and replies with "so a smartphone with spotify?" No. I want a 160GB+ rectangular monstrosity where I can download every version of every song I want to it and it does nothing except play music and I don't need a data connection and don't have to pay a subscription to not have ads and don't have popups suggesting terrible AI playlists all over the menus.

Gimme the clicky wheel and song titles like "My Chemical Romance- The Black Parade- Blood (Bonus Track)- secret track- album rip- high quality"

Faith In The Storm: Trusting God When Life Gets Hard

We each have our own walk with Jesus Christ. We may think that it is all sunshine and rainbows as we have peace and joy we find in the Lord. However, that is not always the reality. It is important to recognize that this walk is not always easy.

Life has a way of throwing us into unexpected storms or trials. We experience moments of pain, loss, or confusion that leave us wondering where God is and how we’re supposed to keep going. My friend, if you are experiencing these moments right now, know that you are not alone. God has a purpose for these trials in our walk with Him. I pray that as I share the truth of God's Word with you, you will have peace with The Lord and seek Him always, even as you navigate through your trials.

Why Does God Allow Storms?

We ask one of the hardest questions as believers.

If God loves me, why does He allow suffering?

Why doesn't He stop this storm in my life?

To tell you the truth, we may never have all the answers on this side of eternity. Only God knows the answers. Through scripture, we are given insights into how God uses storms for His purpose.

1)To Grow Our Faith

When we face trials, we are being pushed beyond our comfort zones; making us to rely on God in ways we couldn't otherwise. Our faith deepens through testing. God is testing your faith in Him as you are in a season of uncertainty.

"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience" - James 1:3 (KJV)

When we choose to trust God during our trials, it shows spiritual maturity and growth as Christians. Whether facing a medical diagnosis, the loss of a loved one, or financial issues, God allows these challenges to enter our lives for a purpose. He has a plan for each of us, and placing our faith in His will signifies that we are resting in His work.

2) To Reveal What's Inside Us

Hard times have a way of exposing what we really believe. Are we anchored in the truth, or only to our circumstances? Storms bring hidden fears, doubts, or misplaced hopes to the surface—not to shame us, but to heal and refine us. We may initially feel defeated, but we must remember that our faith in Jesus is far more valuable.

"That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ" - 1 Peter 1:7 (KJV)

When we have faith, we are strengthened to overcome the trials that are thrown our way. We are called to have faith like David, who flung the stone from his sling and defeated Goliath.

3) To Draw Us Closer to Him

Speaking of strength, we often forget that we should not rely solely on our own strength. In calm seasons, it's easy to become spiritually distracted or self-reliant. We may anticipate a nice boat ride on calm waters, but when the storm hits, we frequently find ourselves running back to God—desperate, honest, and open. It is in our moments of weakness that we truly discover His strength.

Strength comes from the grace of God. We are called to seek God daily and surrender to Him, as He provides strength in moments when we stumble or feel weak.

"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest up on me" - 2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)

The more we draw closer to God, the more we rely on His strength for us. True closeness with God comes from ongoing dependence in every season of your life.

4) To Show His Power and Glory

Sometimes, God allows a storm so that His power can be made unmistakably visible in our lives. In the Gospels, Jesus and His disciples were on a boat sailing onto the sea. As a storms hits, the disciples started to worry and fear that they won't make out alive in the storm. While the disciples worry, Jesus was asleep and asked them, "Why are ye fearful, O ye little faith?" before He calmed the sea.

Storms can be stages for God's glory. When Jesus tells us "Peace be still", we must not worry when we are in a storm. God is in control in everyway through every situation.

"And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm" - Mark 4:39 (KJV)

God’s Presence In The Storm

God doesn't remove the storms in our lives, but He walks with us through them. Even in moments of anxiety, His presence is enough even when our circumstances don't change.

In 2018, I was hit by the biggest storm of my life.  I was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer when I was seventeen years old, spending most of my senior year of high school receiving radiation and chemotherapy treatment. While I was undergoing treatment, I felt the devil snaring at me as I was staying at home a lot feeling sick and miserable. There were a lot of negative thoughts going through my head.

"Why did God Allow this?"

"God doesn't love you"

"This world is better off without you"

These negative thoughts led me to contemplate what life would be like if I were no longer around. I began to be like Job from the Old Testament. Job lost his wife and children, and as his health deteriorated, he became doubtful about God and even wished he had never been born. Throughout his trial, Job wrestled with God until his friend Elihu reasoned with him, explaining how God is just in all His ways and encouraging him to magnify His works.

"Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom" - Job 36:5 (KJV)

In the end, Job humbled himself and surrendered to the Lord. As for me, I ended up having victory over the devil’s lies and have been in remission for 5 years now (My Testimony) The truth of His word brings us all peace as it reminds us that we should be content and find rest in all the works God does for us. My faith continues to be strengthened the more I turn to the Lord for anything that arises.

"Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with Thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus" - Philippians 4:6-7 (KJV)

God is always present with you in every storm that you are in. He knows what you are going through and we must keep our faith upon Him as He is always working in our lives.

What Faith Looks Like in Hard Times

Faith isn't always loud. It's not always full of confidence, and it doesn't always feel strong. In fact, during life’s hardest moments, faith often resembles small steps, quiet prayers, and holding on when everything in you wants to let go. Here is what real faith looks like in the midst of a storm:

1)Faith Looks Like Choosing to Trust Anyway

Faith keeps believing even when prayers seem unanswered. It is trusting in God's heart, even when you can't see His hand. We may not know the “Why” of this trial, but only God knows why. 

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts" - Isaiah 55:8-9 (KJV)

2) Faith Looks Like Showing Up

Faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about continuing to show up in prayer, worship, and the Word, even when you feel numb, angry, or confused. Sometimes, faith is getting out of bed and whispering a prayer when that’s all you can manage.

Having faith reflects a real and personal connection with God. When we go to Him in prayer, we’re being honest—bringing our fears, frustrations, and confusion about the storm we’re facing. Faith means approaching Him regardless of your pain.

"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you" - 1 Peter 5:7 (KJV)

3) Faith Looks Like Surrender, Not Control

When we encounter a trial in our life, we have this urge to fix it. We tend to ignore the instruction manuel and fix the problem ourselves. However, if we try to fix things our own way, it will still be broken.

Faith involves surrendering to The Lord as He is the one who holds the bigger picture even when we don't understand it.

"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" - Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)

4) Faith Looks Like Holding Onto God's Promises

God's word is the anchor to your storm. His word lifts us up and gives us peace as He is our ultimate comforter and healer of all things. Whether it is Psalms, one of the Gospels, or other scripture reminds us that to have hope in The Lord.

"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil" - Hebrews 6:19 (KJV)

God's promises remind us that we are never alone, and His love is steadfast and unchanging. No matter the circumstances, God's word provides guidance, hope, and the assurance of His eternal presence.

5) Faith Looks Like Praising In Pain

True faith doesn’t wait for the storm to end to worship—it worships in the rain. Praising God in your pain is one of the most powerful expressions of faith. Worshipping God could be singing hymns, listening to worship music, or even speaking words of praise. When we worship God, our focus shifts from the size of the storm to the greatness of our God.

"I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continuously be in my mouth" - Psalm 34:1 (KJV)

Conclusion

If you’re in the middle of a storm right now, take heart—you are not alone, and you are not forgotten. God sees every tear, hears every prayer, and walks with you even when you can’t feel Him. Your pain is not pointless, and your struggle is not invisible. God knows every season and storm that you are in. It is okay to feel overwhelmed during this storm that you currently dealing with. Just remember, God will always be with you to lift you up.

Faith in the storm doesn’t mean you always feel strong. Sometimes it means you simply whisper, “God, help me,” and trust that He will. Storms may shake up, but God is unshakable. God is working behind the scenes—refining you, strengthening you, and drawing you closer to Him. He is near, He is faithful, and He is inviting you to place your trust in Him right now!

Don’t wait until the storm is over! Choose today to lean into God's promises, surrender your worries, and believe that He is working—even when you can’t see it. Let your storm become a place where your faith grows deeper and your relationship with God grows stronger.

God is here for you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He will carry you through.

For Years my brother has been fucking with me by periodically texting me to say Jimmy Carter had finally died. Today the bit has paid off.

The response to my reaction at work was “what do you MEAN ‘for real this time’?????”

I fucking hate it here I’m crying

Ive said this before but swear the biggest skill to learn as an adult is how to resist high-pressure sales tactics. You do NOT have to answer questions with anything other than "Sorry I'm not interested." No matter how nice they are or no matter how many follow up questions they ask or even how agitated they get when you stand your ground. Just keep saying I'm not interested. Don't answer their questions. Don't give them an opening to try to push back on your reasons. Be a fucking brick wall of I'm not interested.
