the power ranger post? HOW DARE YOU? you give him a perfect little family and then destroy it! the feels I can't! he had everything and now he just has neil. he hates max because she reminds him of his first little sister aghhhhhhh nooooooo
the power rangers post for anyone curious
He wants to keep being Jason Scott. He wants to run around the park with Trini as they chase after his little sister and her little brothers. He wants to listen to his mom wonder about what she should serve for dinner because Billy’s coming over and she knows how restricting his tastes can get sometimes. He wants to feel his dad squeeze his shoulder as he tells him he’s proud of him after he’s spent the day helping Zack do all of the house stuff that Zack struggles to do on a day-to-day basis since his mom is sick or because he’s gotten in a little bit of trouble at school for saying shit to the cheerleaders who still torture Kimberly.
His mom is dead and his dad is dead and Pearl is dead. And the other Power Rangers are trying so hard to help him because they love him (and he loves them too, they are a team and family and five pieces of the same whole) but there is a truth settled amongst them that their families are still alive and Jason’s isn’t and it’s because they weren’t fast enough or strong enough and Jason finds it hard to look at them suddenly.
And then Neil Hargrove takes him away from Angel’s Grove after the funeral, and he was so young when he was taken from his man but he remembers burning stinging slaps to his face and being shoved around and his mother curling around him in his toddler bed with bruises on her neck from him choking her when she mouthed back, and he calls him William when he’s angry and Billy when he’s not.
He hates Neil Hargrove, but it’s so much easier to be Billy Hargrove than to hold onto Jason Scott.
That doesn’t mean that he takes it laying down they get to Santa Monica and Neil introduces his wife and her daughter as Billy’s mother and sister. Because Billy might not want to remember his life as Jason Scott - but he had a mom and he had a sister and these are not them and they never will be.
