Of Love and Bunnies: Difference between revisions

* [[Arc Welding]]: Though this story primarily focuses on the first MMPR gang and the Dino Thunder one, soon, every group in between comes in as well as mentions of [[Power Rangers SPD|SPD]], [[Power Rangers Operation Overdrive|Operation Overdrive]], and [[Power Rangers Mystic Force|Mystic Force]].

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]

* [[Badass Normal]] / [[Badass Bystander]] / [[Heroic Bystander]]: The citizens of Reefside, who are able to hold off a horde of Tyrannodrones and Triptoids until Rangers arrive to deal with them.

* [[Ballroom Blitz]]: The already somewhat wild "Ranger Kegger" (attended by almost every Ranger on the planet) gets even wilder when space pirates attack.

* [[Berserk Button]]: Whenever Zack laughs, Tommy tries to kill him. This is because {{spoiler|it induces a PTSD flashback of the "Rangers Parade" fiasco, in which Tommy was literally mobbed by so many women that his uniform was ''covered'' in lipstick and half of it was ripped away}}.

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Trini, like many Yellow Rangers (and Yellow Ranger-types like Hayley), is the most [[The Heart|caring]] and [[Team Mom|maternal]] member of the team. But when she's pissed, her fury is incandescent.

* [[Blood-Splattered Wedding Dress]]: After a trip to Wal* Mart goes horribly, horribly wrong, Kira ends up spending the night in a holding cell with two other women, one of whom is wearing one of these.

* [[Brotherhood of Funny Hats]]: The Reefside-set sidestory gives us Doctor Oliver's Royally Kissable Stalkers (D.O.R.K.S.), a collection of high school girls with crushes on Tommy.

* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Sort of. Kat Manx is mostly resigned to the interstellar community not listening to her and Doggie about how dangerous Gruumm is.

* [[Chainsaw Good]]:

* [[City of Adventure]]: Related to the [[Weirdness Magnet]] entry, Angel Grove and Reefside have become used to the antics of the Power Rangers.

* [[Clueless Chick Magnet]]: Kimberly and Trini speculate, amid wailing laughter, that Tommy is this when they find out that he has a fanclub of lovestruck teenage girls.

* [[Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like]]: Tommy at full stop while trapped with Kimberly in Jason and Trini's Secret Chamber.

* [[Contest Winner Cameo]]: Not exactly a contest, but two people who wrote in to the author at various points during the story to give significant input ended up getting cameos starting at chapter 60 as Stone Canyon police officers pulled into the wackiness by force.

* [[Contrived Coincidence]]: The explanation for the Letter. As the author admits.

* [[Deconstruction]]: It's fairly well hidden by the humor, but pretty much everybody in the fic is in varying stages of working through the massive psychological issues resulting from either being a Power Ranger or living under constant threat of monster attacks.

* [[Deus Ex Machina]]: Not exactly, but Tommy seems to see Hayley as his one true solution to all his personal problems, much to her ever-increasing annoyance.

'''Hayley''': I have my limits, you know. }}

* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: During ''Zeo'', Billy revealed his secrets to his family the first time he went to Aquitar (to deal with the Hydro-Contaminators). In this fic his father is unaware.

* [[Idol Singer]]: Tanya is now a pop star. Kira is a HUGE fan.

* [[I Need to Iron My Dog]]: Kim panics when she sees Tommy in his old White Ranger suit.

'''Trini:'''Three years as a superhero making excuses for strange behavior, and that's all you've got? Tell them that you're dead? }}

* [[Intoxication Ensues]]: Aquitian water, beer and interrupted REM sleep ''do not'' mix. Tommy ends of posing as a suicidal ninja stripper, Rocky starts singing deranged versions of "I'm a little tea pot" every five minutes, Adam dreams of belly-dancing mastodons...

* [[Room Full of Crazy]]: While exploring Mesogog's lab, Devin and Cassidy (and later Anton and Elsa) discover that Zeltrax's personal quarters has both a shrine to Elsa, and a wall of defaced photos of Tommy.

* [[Running Gag]]: Tommy as the "Orange Ranger" when he gets old. Zack (and Conner) eating Play-Doh. Objects falling down the shirts of female Rangers. The media mistakenly identifying Rangers as other Rangers.

** In the more recent chapters, "moving as nonchalantly in the same direction" (essentially, following/stalking).

* [[Scary Black Man]]: In his initial cameo, T.J. (Red Turbo Ranger/Blue Space Ranger) plays this trope to the hilt in order to make certain a purse-snatcher doesn't ruin a [[Secret Identity]] preserving cover story.

* [[The Chessmaster]]: Trini is a master manipulator; fortunately, she uses her talents for good.

* [[The Glomp]]: Rocky enters the story by giving hugs that bear an astonishing resemblance to flying tackles to Billy, Trini, Kim, and Kira...despite never having met Kira before.

* [[The Missus and the Ex]]: This pops up at times with Hayley as the former and Kim as the latter, although Hayley and Tommy's relationship is purely platonic. The other Rangers constantly worry about this popping up with Kat and Kim (essentially the Second-Ex and First-Ex).

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Rocky and Adam. Like many things in this story, it's very in-line with canon.
