so we have plenty of people protayed as trini's cousin but think about this... santana lopez as her cousin this is where trini got her resting bitch face this is why trini knows how to deal with douchebag football players, bitchy cheerleaders and asshole people santana taught her how to sing, how to fight back, and eventually how to accept herself santana also gets quinn to help her intimidate trini's girlfriend and ask about their intentions with her baby cousin

some trini headcanons for y’all

Trini is really close and protective of her younger brothers

she sometimes skips training to spend time with them

youngest outta the rangers

shares AP classes with Billy and Zack (when he goes to school)

used to smoke weed

reason why her relationship with her mother is strained

her mom is a doctor

secretly a daddy’s girl

btw her dad knows she’s the yellow ranger (that’s what she gets for being a sarcastic little shit before)

constantly forgets her glasses at home

technology isn’t really her thing

abbreviations are evil

constantly steals the other rangers sweaters and hoodies, specifically Jason and Billy’s since they’re the tallest

she likes it when clothes are big on her

reckless driver unless with brothers or Billy

can’t swim well

Trini tells Jason about her crush on Kimberly first, since she thought he had a crush on the pink ranger himself and had more of a chance than herself (jokes on you nerd!)

Trini is shy about PDA

tough cookie, soft center

Bonus trimberly

kim likes to cover the scars on Trini’s neck with hickies 

Trini’s zord tries to engage Kim’s zord in a mating dance

Trini avoids Kim for three days after the ordeal and hides out at Billy’s house

the first time Kim holds her hand when walking to class Trini blushed so hard and stuttered all the way to bio

goes to Kimberly’s house on the weekends to make breakfast since the taller girl sucks at it

plans study dates with Kim to actually study and protesting when Kimberly tries to distract her

.

confession time dudes and dudettes; it's a bit personal

Okay, so I love Zack. I really do, but I don't always like the way people characterize his relationship with Trini. Like, I get that they'd have a close friendship and basically be brother/sister but... That doesn't mean he's got to tease her about every single thing, or constantly point out she's gay and "can you be more obvious about it" type of deal or basically pressure Trini to so things she's unsure of even of he has good intentions Like, I read fics where (in my opinion) he needlessly pokes fun at her for being herself and "wow, that's was really gay of you to do" Fuck, when my friends did that when I was going through the whole ordeal of figuring out my sexuality I would get so damn sad and angry at myself. Cuz, at the time, I was denying myself of who I really was and when they'd start doing what Zack does it would just fuck with my whole day. I'd become withdrawn from my friends and snap at them because I didn't want to admit I liked girls even when I knew my friends would still love me. I just, I'm sorry but I don't like Zack overly hyping the fact that she's gay when she's still trying to figure herself out or endlessly pushing her to do things she isn't 100% comfortable with.

this was supposed to be short, but my rambling got the best of me

Okay, Trini being a cute and awkward gay mess is adorable asf but Trini being a chivalrous sweetheart gets me in the feels. Like she wouldn't even have to be doing big stuff, just holding the door open for Kimberly or buying her a flower just because or sending Kimberly a picture that reminded Trini of her.

Zack trying to make fun of Trini by poking fun at the fact that she would literally jump over the car to open her girlfriend's door and Trini just raising her eyebrow and him and saying, "romance and chivalry aren't dead y'know" before slamming the door into his face when he tries to get out.

Jason trying to tell Trini to tone it down because she's going to attract unwanted attention when she's literally blurring to stand in front of Kim when a car splashes onto a puddle or carrying Kim around town without breaking a sweat

Billy being confused when Trini lands herself in detention for the rest of the year because she usually just saunters in without reason but understanding once he sees the faded bruising on her knuckles and face plus the fact that Ty and some of the other football players aren't at school for a week or two due to some mysterious fight that happened after school.

Kim just playfully rolling her eyes at her adorkable gf while secretly swooning when she does things like this.

The rangers ship it

The Harts and Scotts ship 

 Alpha and Zack are #1 shippers

Billy's mom and Zack's mom ship it

Jason giving the "if you hurt her" big brother speech to Trini

Trini paying rapt attention and taking it seriously

Zack trying to give the same speech to Kim, but Kimberly can't really take him seriously when he's hanging upside down by his shoelaces

Kim being intimidated and taking it seriously when Zordon gives her the overprotective "wall-dad" speech because he knows what Trini goes through at home, especially when he's seen Trini wander into the pit to release some frustration and cry because of her parents

Mateo and Isaac (Trini's brothers) originally not liking Kim because they feel like she's taking Trini away from them before eventually and slowly warming up to her when they notice how happy she makes their sister and how Trini smiles more

this is kimberly anytime trini asks herself if any of the rangers would like to hangout

kim would just burst through the wall like the kool-aid man and be like “i volunteer as tribute!”
