Fun Fact
BuzzFeed published a report claiming that Tumblr was utilized as a distribution channel for Russian agents to influence American voting habits during the 2016 presidential election in Feb 2018.
RIP JDF
Shocking absolutely no one, Tommy was my favorite Ranger growing up. Was even able to make a full white ranger suit a few years ago which, sadly, I've had to part with, but I still have the helmet and morpher.
I had originally planned to unveil this as a print at a convention that I will be at this weekend, but the printshop I ordered from said there was going to be a delay and that I won't be able to get the prints until next week. Hence why I am putting this up earlier, rather than at the end of the month like I normally would with Patreon rewards.
Sorry if you're annoyed with the Green Ranger Jason David Frank posts. It's hot me pretty hard.
I have been suicidal in my life.
But JDF was such a positive pro-fan humble but confident dude. Dead at 49. From suicide.
It's left me with a deep cut in.my soul. I'm wondering if someone like him with positivity, success, family, a form of faith, love, his children, love from all over - could kill himself, then what chance do I have to live into old age??
Who he was, that wasn't an act. He's so positive and uplifting. So it's hard to think he died the way he did.
Suicide for me is just a hibernating giant. If he couldn't see a way out to live, then how will I ever??
So I'm deeply hurt. I mean even as a 12-13 year old. I had stopped watching the show, but i was being mercilessly bullied. I mean utterly tortured. I'm talking a Turkish prison here. Nobody to confide in. Noisy to back me up or defend me. No friends willing to step in. There was groups around me. It was practically coordinated. If a few were in my classes, they'd make sure I had some kind of a harassment or attack.
In desperation I found my Green Ranger Karate VHS. and I practiced. Nite so much for a fight, because could fight just fine, but against a group or 3 groups? I practiced you focus and "Imagine" that "training" was to fight these assholes. Like a group of putties on the show.
About 10 years later I followed JDFs social medias. He was such a good role model. I don't care about private matters as much. But what he did for people, his castmates, his daughter, the fans. I mean during covid he was touring comic shops to help them keep their doors open. Masks and all!
So I'm just devastated. Because I feel like he was a long distance mentor. Someone who had a great life ethic. His positivity was infectious. And I even had planned to meet him at some point.
This tragic dark ending is just crushing for me.
So you'll have endure my indulgences in Power Ranger reblogs.
The news of Jason David Frank's passing hit me like a truck. He was one of my heroes and forever will be I'll always be thankful for the lessons I've learned from him and his fellow cast members while watching the series as a kid. My heart goes out to his family. Rest in Peace Jason David Frank. May the power guide you to paradise.
On Sunday the man that played the iconic character of Tommy Oliver died at 49 years old. At first I couldn't believe he had died and thought it was a hoax but soon I was saddened to know it was the truth and worse yet this man I looked up to as one of my childhood heros took his life via suicide. Power rangers was a show I grew up watching and they inspired me to be a good person and tommy chief among them, so in sadness I say farewell to my childhood champion of peace and remember the years of fond memories he created in a young boy from Kansas..... Tommy you will be missed and I hope you rest in peace knowing you laid the groundwork for children to live their dreams of being heros. (Jason David Frank: September 4, 1973 - November 9, 2022)
