Hell No Just Because I Took Choir For Around A Decade Doesn't Mean I Retained Anything

hell no just because i took choir for around a decade doesn't mean i retained anything 😭

I heard @lizzardwitch wrote an eight verse song about #dino charge ?????

sorry it's been a while but prdc textposts part 3/?? (probably the biggest one yet)

it's halloween season bitches you know the vibes (pr/tim burton film redraws)

kendall/heckyl as kim & edward (edward scissorhands)

rj/fran as jack & sally (nightmare before christmas)

rant incoming but thinking about how kendall and fran had so much potential to be explored in the seasons they were in (dino charge & jungle fury) only to be neglected by the writers and pushed into support roles legitimately makes me wanna crash out

the entirety of the energem finding operation in dino charge would not exist without kendall. she ran the museum, she gave half the team jobs, she created constant technology and upgrades in order to find more energems and aid the rangers in battle, and when she finally gains the chance to be a ranger, what does she get rewarded with? FURTHER shoving out of the spotlight and into a support role DESPITE being a ranger, and on top of that, NEVER gets an arc of her own!! wow!! no exploration of just how fucking tired she might be from having to deal with essentially the weight of the world (if not the UNIVERSE) on her shoulders on top of having to get a bunch of teenagers that work for her under control!! no exploration of how she even managed to form a bond with keeper and agree to find the energems in the first place!! how fucking amazing is that /s (even the villain that shows up halfway through the goddamn season gets more development than she does what the fuck, i love heckyl but come the FUCK on)

fran actually had SOME potential in the beginning of jf, because she was actually allowed to voice her frustrations (hell homegirl even quit at one point because of just how terribly the rangers were treating her, even if she got rehired in the same episode it's still something), and actually had an assertive, witty, spunky side to her that felt refreshing when paired with her otherwise sweet, shy, socially inept character. on top of this, she's allowed multiple badass moments despite not being a ranger (confronting a corrupted lily, staring down werewolf!rj, finding out who the rangers were on her own, etc.). and then.........it all comes crashing down from episode 19 onwards, and what does fran become?? the girl who likes dominic. yep!! love it when a super cool intelligent girl with so much potential to be explored OUTSIDE of supporting the men in her life (or exploring how being pushed into that role has an effect on her psyche) becomes reduced to nothing more than having a crush on a guy who's Wonder white bread personified!! fucking awesome!! fran doesn't get an episode or chunk of one exploring anything in depth about her but we get an entire episode about her tweaking over a guy or moments where she helps theo & lily get together, how fucking brilliant

and don't give me some bullshit about how kendall and fran aren't meant to have as much emphasis as the other characters because claire blackwelder and sarah thomson got credited as main characters from day fucking one. if they were able to get main character credits they should've been handled with just as much emphasis as the others in their respective casts, ESPECIALLY due to how integral they were to keeping their teams afloat. fran doesn't even get a goddamn last name despite having been there since ep 1 ffs i made a whole tag about that

I'm not even asking for much, I just want my girls to have an arc and development + episodes to themselves PLEASE

You absolutely should get a picture with her next time 😭 got so lucky with the drawing omg (< insanely jealous)

So glad she was super nice though, she was so talented playing Fran and was integral to cementing Fran’s status as one of the best & most memorable non-Ranger allies of the Disney era (if not the entire franchise)

And this was her first con too I’m seriously hoping she comes back she seemed so adorable, if she has any social media I’m following asap

So I watched the Jungle Fury panel when it dropped on YT last night, and nothing was more cathartic than hearing Sarah Thomson sharing her idea of Fran as an Orange owl-themed Ranger after having that same headcanon for weeks

(Also hearing her talk about her favorite moments on set being when she was covered in food was hilarious)
