My uncle (very near my age) also had a Green Ranger costume, I think there was a lot of gold lame involved. We generally weren’t allowed toy weapons though so I’m envious of yours.

I didn’t use its proper name because I didn’t think people would know what I meant but I see now I was foolish.

I was using the Dragonzord “flute” for a while but switched to the siren from Silent Hill. My partner hates both but if I need a wake-up alarm I need it to flood my body with panic adrenaline.

I think it’s a weird attachment to a glorified idea of heritage that puts too much emphasis on the patriarchal line, it strikes too closely to the concept of divine-right-of-kings and the general familial privilege of wealth. It’s a title, like Baron, with a whole lot of baggage.
