#Ranma 1/2 au

[bidisastersanji]

Was thinking more about a Ranma 1/2-esque ZoSan story and hear me out:

Zoro falls in a cursed spring that turns him into a “woman” when doused with cold water and turns back into a “man” when doused with hot water

He of course doesn’t give a fuck and doesn’t even bother turning back sometimes because to him it truly doesn’t matter, masculine or feminine body, he’s still a man no matter what. He just keeps going on with his day and turns back when he bathes. Which isn’t often. Going into the sea to save a drowning luffy happens more frequently then one would think

But for closeted Sanji this is the worst possible situation because he’s been pushing his attraction for Zoro down down down, for so long

And now Zoro has a “womanly” body sometimes and his carefully repressed feelings are spilling over through his well oiled womanizing thought process and fucking hell if the idiot swordsman goes around with his tits out one more time he might just die

Zoro thinks it’s kind of funny until Sanji refuses to fight him when in feminine form

The sexual tension ramps up and up and Sanji finally snaps and makes out with fem!Zoro

Cue angst because Zoro thinks Sanji only likes his womanly feminine body and nothing else- he’s been silently loving the cook and not making a move because he’s sure Sanji is straight

But actually the fem body thing just was the straw that broke the camels back for Sanji and fuck why is Zoro being distant

Zoro starts feeling so desperate and misses Sanji so he douses himself with cold water and thinks maybe he can live with this if it means he gets Sanji, any way he can be with him

Cue confusion and fight scene where Zoro doesn’t understand why Sanji won’t reciprocate when he’s in his feminine form isn’t this what he wanted anyways ???

No! What I wanted was you, dumbass

They kiss and make up and Sanji comes to term with his bisexuality

Bonus steamy fun scenes where they take full advantage of Zoro’s “curse”

More thoughts on some shenanigans that happen in the background:

obligatory Brook asking for Zoro’s panties scene but he doesn’t wear any - Sanji nearly has a stroke

Nami berating Zoro over his lack of propriety when in feminine body mode

Robin being overall very amused by the situation and making plans with Nami to dress Zoro up in some feminine clothes just for the fun of it (they use his debt against him)

Chopper innocently trying to explain bodily things and giving the talk to Zoro about periods etc and telling him he needs to be careful not to get pregnant (they know he likes to fuck random men at ports) in the middle of dinner

Nami and Zoro would go out with zoro in fem mode to get their drinks paid at bars and have so much fun

I've been playing around with his idea, which is strangely 2010s.

Team fortress two: Ranma ½ AU. Cringe culture is dead so hear me out: something goes wrong with the respawn machine, and it is forcibly turned on. The team tries not to go through the respawn machine, but, of course, many of them do anyway.

They turn into one of the previous respawn test subjects at random. Their physical forms follow the rules of Ranma ½, cold water turns them into their other form, hot water turns them back. Scout transforms into a woman, spy turns into a horse, just because I like horses tbh. I'm not sure what character turns into the pig though. I'm open to anything tbh.

Kasumi Saotome (Ranma 1/2)

Type: Poll Winner

AU: Ranma 1/2 AU: Kasumi Saotome AU, Married AU

Summary: Ranma rather than get engaged to Akane was engaged to Kasumi who was quite open-minded about being engaged with the younger man who may not be her type but was still good if rough-around the edge young man

Theme: Rasumi, Older Woman/Younger Man, Wholesome, Marriage Life

—X-xx-X—

Her name was Kasumi Saotome, once known as Kasumi Tendo, eldest daughter of Soun Tendo and Aimi Tendo was now a married woman to Ranma Saotome, a good if rough-around-the-edge young man who was three years younger than her and she was married to him by the promise between her father and Saotome-san to merge their dojo together.

He wasn't her type. Far from it...and yet she was engaged to him and she too her surprise was happy to be with him as despite his flaws and moments, he was trying to be a good and worthy man for her and try to overcome his flaws his father and himself developed in the name of a happy life with her which made her slowly but surely fall in love with the rough-goodhearted man.

She looks at the simple gold ring on her ring finger with a small smile. The ring was so simple yet so beautiful that it filled her with overwhelming joy and delight at the sight of said ring. A testament of her new life as Kasumi Saotome, wife and future mother of his child when the time comes.

"Kasumi-chan. I'm home!" A strong voice echoed across the Tendo household which made her heart leap with joy as she looked away from the ring and made her way to the direction of her husband who gotten back from work.

"Welcome home, Ranma-Kun." She greeted her husband with a beautiful smile on her lips as she walked up to him and give him a quick tender kiss which her husband return tenfold.

You know what fuck it. AA Ranma 1/2 au where Franziska pushed Miles into spring of drowned girl on a family trip and never managed to get it fixed. (Franziska cannonballed into spring of drowned tiger and is still FURIOUS to this day that it was apparently a tiger Cub) Phoenix asks Miles- why change 'her' name? It's all the same to Miles- legal questions in the courthouse library. Falls head over heels for Miles. She is dragged to Fey n Co on his way to take her out on a date (he's got 69 cents and Miles Will end up paying) and Mia gives him the most Wtf i know what you are look.

She's 100% read the situation wrong but Mia's interrogation of the new girlfriend does yield and explanation. One she's not thrilled to hear. Ugh. Get out brat.

Phoenix asks why Miles is so tense when they go home that night and worries a bit at the lack of answer. But Miles wraps around him like a blanket so now he's mostly thinking about how nice she smells and if that sleepy tea will help with Miles nightmares. It's fine.

Hey. Every writers trying to justify your animal-shifter Mike cravings, your blorbo turning into a cuddly kitty so he can yowl into the night, disturbing the peace at 3 am (no I'm not projecting on yall, you are), just say he and his family went on a trip abroad to China and his clumsy ass fell into the Jusenkyo springs. There. All neat and done.

Continuation from that one idea I had about Ranma being cursed with telepathy. Kuno caused it by accident, and doesn’t even know it— go figure!

Also, tryna get a feel for Ranma-styled visual gags, so bear with this crumb of art till I get my bearings ^^

I’ve been holding into this image for so long…

[bidisastersanji]

Had literal (not just inspired) Ranma 1/2 ZoSan galaxy thoughts with @anniilaugh and oh boy oh boy oh boy

Zoro and Hawkeye are japanese martial artists training in Jusenkyo, China, they get to the cursed springs and don't listen to the guide about how they should definitely not fight there

Zoro falls into the cursed spring of the young woman and from then on his body turns female at the contact of cold water and back to male with hot water- his dad falls in the panda one.

Mihawk brings them back to Japan because he and his old pal Zeff had made a promise to marry their kids and join their dojos- he has to fight Zoro the entire way

Scene starts with Zeff sitting down his three adoptive kids with mommy issues (Robin, Nami and Sanji) to tell them they're about to receive his old friend Mihawk and his son Zoro- long ago they agreed to marry their kids to secure the "Anything goes" dojo's legacy, and both thought it wouldn't work out since they didn't have kids at first, but both ended up adopting in later years.

All three are pissed that they don't get a say in this- they've never even met this Zoro guy! Who cares if he's been training in China, they can probably still beat his ass.

Fem!Zoro and Panda!Mihawk are fighting it out in the street in the rain (which is what turned them both into their cursed forms)- Zoro is angry that his stupid father figure just decided this for him- fuck this, he's going back to China, and that's that! but Mihawk knocks him out and carries him on his shoulder to the Akaashi residence.

Back at the dojo, Robin hopes he's older than her, Nami knows she, the town lesbian with a gf (Vivi) won't be forced to marry him if it comes to it, and Sanji is just so angry that Zeff would make this decision for them- how stupidly old fashioned and this guy won't be taking over the dojo from them, no way. Also, who cares about a stupid boy. All that matters to him are beautiful ladies, after all. (still struggling a bit with being bi Sanji what's up)

A panda and a young adult come into the dojo and they're like ??? who the hell is this panda? the panda sets down Zoro in front of Zeff like "voila" and they're like! oh- could you be?

I'm Roronoa Zoro. Sorry 'bout this.

Zeff hugs him, feels the soft chest press against his own, and is like- oh. Did he misremember what Mihawk told him, was it a daughter after all?

Sanji is relieved, thinking Zoro is a woman (Zoro doesn't correct anyone, he doesn't really care, he just wants to get back to China and if this means he can get out of marrying on a misunderstanding, maybe it'll work out in his favour)- and he acts like his usual gentlemanly self with him, treating him to tea and asking him about his training. Zoro asks to spar, and Sanji truly couldn't- but can't say no to a pretty lady so they spar but Sanji never actually hits Zoro- always stopping right before he lands a hit, annoying the shit out of Zoro (what a prissy guy)

Having worked up a sweat (that Sanji guy wasn't half bad at fighting, even if he didn't actually hit him), Zoro goes to wash in the men's baths

Sanji, thinking "she" is in the women's baths, walks into the same bath, naked, and is faced with a very built, very attractive man in his bathroom, stepping out of the hot tub. he definitely doesn't ogle him

He panics and runs to the rest of the family being like "there's a pervert in the bathroom wtf"

Zoro joins them, dressed in the same clothes he was in before and reintroduces himself (I'm Roronoa Zoro, sorry 'bout this)

They all gather to go over what's happened in China (including demonstration as Mihawk throws Zoro into the pond) and Zeff cuts him off to be like

"There's truly no problem. So, Zoro, which of my children do you want to marry- although in his letters your father did mention you preferred men, and I only have one of those."

Robin and Nami pounce on this and push Sanji forwards "oh he definitely wants Sanji"- "what?? why me?"- "well, he's half a girl, so it works out perfect for you!"/"I'm a full lesbian and he's a gay man it's not meant to be"

Sanji fights this- "I don't want to marry this pervert!" "Who you callin' a pervert, you walked in on me, curly brows!" "yeah, well you were a strange naked man in my bathroom, so that makes you a pervert" "Yeah, well you took a pretty long, good look at me, so I'd say you're the pervert, ogling me" "I wasn't ogling you you brute!" "oh, I see, you were just jealous of how better built I am than you"

Sanji kicks him into the garden pond and leaves to take the bath he didn't get to take earlier

Zoro (in girl form) also goes to bathe, wanting to clean himself of the dirty pond water- and of course runs into Sanji, who gets a really bad nosebleed

AND SO BEGINS the slow burn of always bickering, full of misunderstandings, gender shenanigans, enemies to lovers arranged marriage Zoro and Sanji, with Zoro being really annoyed at the traditional gender roles that Sanji seems to be trying to enforce, and Sanji being constantly annoyed at this big brute of a man having no sense of priopriety and going around in his fem presenting form in ways that he thinks are a disgrace to womankind

but here is some more adapting:

Sanji, like Akane, has a crush on the local doctor (Dr. Law) but can't admit it to himself because he's still a bit struggling with the internalised homophobia from his birth father. Zoro finds it amusing in the beginning (before he catches feelings and gets jealous)

Again like Akane, Sanji starts with long hair and it gets cut because of a fight Zoro gets into with Pedro (who fell into the baby leopard spring), who will take the role of P-chan, sleeping in Sanji's bed and pining after him

Crazy love rivals galore and infinite fiance(e)s that Mihawk promised Zoro to of course:

the Kunos- Cavendish falls for Zoro when he meets him in his female form (oh my beautiful green-haired girl...). He always has the dramatic entrances (Cavendish, Age 17, the White Horse of Furinkan High), throwing his red roses everywhere. His just as...passionate? sister, Pudding, is in love with Sanji and thinks fem!Zoro is her love rival and tricks him into the rhythmic gymnastics showdown thing where Zoro has to be in a leotard, chained to baby leopard Pedro, both at risk of being exposed if hit with hot water in front of this crowd, and Zoro beats her with three clubs

Hiyori as Shampoo from the Amazon tribe who's at first sent to kill Zoro because he beat her in fem! form but then keeps trying to marry man Zoro who also accidentally beats her- Sanji is so mad about this specific one

Tashigi could be Okonomiyaki Ukyo (we think she's a man at first) or she could be Mousse (blind AF without her glasses) and turns into a goose with cold water

Brook as Happosai (old man with obsession for panties) who trains Zoro at times

Zoro doesn't get rid of the curse because plot but also even if he tried to, he would get lost if he tried to go to China by himself

Zoro's chest is 110cm no matter the form and Sanji is NOT OKAY

SO MANY NOSEBLEEDS (Ranma was such an ecchi manga and Zoro definitely has just as much propriety with his female form as Ranma does)

Nami makes money off of pictures of fem!Zoro like Nabiki does, selling them to Cavendish and all the boys at school who don't know the green haired girl is actually Zoro

Zoro was traumatised by the cat fu training Mihawk did to him as a kid and can only be calmed down and go back to acting like a human if he's pet and calmed down by Sanji. just like Ranma, he kisses Sanji in his cat form in front of the whole school (and doesn't remember it)

Wanted to draw the children again.

[abluescarfonwaston]

In the Ranma 1/2 au Kotetsu transforms into a tiger when splashed with water and obviously the heroes can't just let a wild tiger (no not That wild tiger) run around so he's been captured and transported to the zoos in and around sternbild a few times.

Sometimes he waits until they release him to an exhibit and just 100 powers out of there (usually resulting in some minor accidental damage) and sometimes he just breaks out of the cage. The zoos refuse to take in the Tora at this point (even if the video feeds of him escaping lead to Huge boosts in visitors who want to see the toras paw print left in the wet cement.)

Barnaby isn't particularly aware of the legend of the tora so he tries to catch him the first time they meet. Origami tries to stop him because "It's bad luck to catch a tigers tail!" "... I thought that was foxes?"

Either way Anges keeps the camera focused on the cage and when he breaks free the chat lights up with

The tiger

He's destroyed his cage

Yes

YES

The tiger is out
