Line 2:
A [[Darker and Edgier]] and [[Lighter and Softer]] ''[[Power Rangers]]'' fanfic by Ellen Brand. Expect lots of angst. Lots of it. And lots of crossovers. Pretty long and engrossing, so consider dedicating several weekends to it.
 
=== Tropes featured in [[Personality Conflicts]] include: ===
 
* [[Aborted Arc]]: ''For Want of a Nail'' was intended as an alternate universe to Personality Conflicts where Rito and Goldar never dropped the Zeo Crystal in the finale of MMPR. When the PC series went on protracted hiatus the "elseworlds" project got discarded.
Line 18:
** Ellen has a great enthusiasm for kid-heroes, which crops up more and more throughout PC's expanded universe. Aside from the (canon) Beetleborgs and (sort-of canon) PC Turbo Rangers, the [[Yu-Gi-Oh!]], [[Danny Phantom]], and [[Detective Conan]] casts all play enormous roles in their respective corners of the universe.
** Ellen loves to place strong women in situations where they can prove their own strength against a somewhat misogynistic regime. See [[No Woman's Land]] below.
** Benign non-crossovers using analogous versions of alternate universe characters leads to [[The Mighty Ducks (animation)|Duke L'orange's]] counterpart The Black Falcon among dozens of other lawyer-friendly cameos. Ellen seems to enjoy non-crossover [[Mythology Gag|Mythology Gags]]s at least as much as she does crossovers.
*** Clark Lane and Lois Kent seem to hover between a [[Namesake Gag]] and Ellen's usual [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]] tendency. They mostly just exist to make Parker O'Neil's own reporter-gag name less ridiculous by extension.
* [[Bad Future]]: Rocky gets transported to one where the Shadow Empire invaded Earth, all but six of the rangers are dead, those six and Drew are all [[Shell-Shocked Veteran|Shell Shocked Veterans]], and {{spoiler|Tasha's one of [[The Heartless]]}}.
Line 51:
* [[Crystal Dragon Jesus]]: Dealing with Tommy's mother's beliefs in the prequel.
** The revelation that the Archangel Michael exists (and by extension the Abrahamic God) in the [[Expanded Universe]] reduces the entire series and its own [[Fantasy Pantheon]] into a [[Crossover Cosmology]] of mammoth proportions.
*** I wonder if Ernie serves [[Interfaith Smoothie|Interfaith Smoothies]]s?
* [[Crystal Spires and Togas]]: Eltare.
* [[Curb Stomp Battle]]: Shadowborg does this a lot.
Line 166:
* [[The Un-Reveal]]: Ernie always knew they were the Power Rangers.
** {{spoiler|So did most of their parents.}}
* [[The Unseen]]: A rare non-character version. There is an entire year of continuity separating the finale of [[Power Rangers Zeo]] and the first [[Personality Conflicts]] story. During this time period the newly re-ascendant Rita and Zedd resume their attacks on Earth while the two factions of the Machine Empire continue theirs. While characters allude to some plots and a handful of characters from this period, it is never explored in any detail. See [[All There in the Manual]] above.
* [[Uriah Gambit]]: Shadowborg pulls one on Ziktor.
* [[We Are as Mayflies]]: Zedd's 20,000 years old, Dex and Trey a few thousand years old, Zordon and Rita are at least 10,000 years old. Master Vile has to be [[Over Nine Thousand|over 10,000]] years old.
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]]: Adam. Naturally, his father doesn't like the rangers at first.
* [[Xtreme Kool Letterz]]: Nyghtmayr, Fyar, Hatryd, etc.
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere (disambiguation)]]: Ashley's last boyfriend. Played [[Bastard Boyfriend|deadly serious]].
