The temptation to start this caption with "hey" was unbelievably strong. Anyway.

This is a redraw of a fiance smooch from 2015! This is one of my favorite little drawings I've done, but I wanted to see how much I've improved. In defense of myself, back in 2015 it was a popular move to make your backgrounds transparent

Ranake (WLW) Wedding Question

I don't want to hear "Who is the bride and who is the groom?". I want to hear "Who will wear the modern wedding dress and who will wear the wedding kimono?"

The Obscure Hidden Yaoi of Ranma 1/2

CW: Mention of Suicide, Period-Typical Transphobic and Homophobic reactions

There's a scene in the manga where Gosunkugi crossdresses to get Ranma's attention(this isn't the first time btw) and sabotage his role in the Romeo & Juliet play.

When he rejects the bomb, they parody a love rejection scene.

Whenever one of Ranma's rivals catches him with a girl that's not Akane/Shampoo, they normally celebrate it and even root for him since he won't be "getting in their way" anymore.

But Gosunkugi gets weirdly jilted about it, heart pumping sound effects and all.

In chapter 200 Gosunkugi gets a set of paper dolls that can control people when given commands. Though accidental, he only puts romantic commands on men.

In particular, Ranma and Gosunkugi's date gets a lot of spotlight, lasting 2 pages out of a 16 page chapter, culminating in this exchange.

After this happened Ranma starts blushing when Gosunkugi walks by and asks what his intentions were earlier.

The next Gosunkugisode is about him reconsidering his thoughts on Ranma since he saved him from bullies, but this gets rebuffed by Gosunkugi buying a mecha armor to defeat him. His crush on Akane gets mentioned less and less.

If the armor doesn't punch the desired target in 30 minutes both the wearer and the target will explode. By the end of the chapter, Ranma has a speech about pride and fighting Gosunkugi fairly. The only part of it that he notices is "man to man".

After this Gosunkugi tearfully swoons over Ranma acknowledging him, describing his current situation as a lovers' suicide and apologizing for not wanting to do it.

The chapter ends with Gosunkugi not being able to finish a sentence directed to Ranma with similar wording to the earlier scene about him being accepted.

Even though he sits directly behind Ranma, this is the last time Gosunkugi ever ambushes him. Even though he sits next to Akane, he never shows any reaction to her anymore and seems to be looking at someone else instead. He only uses his straw dolls to fidget with.

The last line Gosunkugi ever has in the manga has him sweating heavily with his heart beating fast after finding a supposed wedding ring that Ranma had buried in the ground(with Ranma blushing in the back for good measure).

This was just an excuse to list the fruitiest moments these two had.

As a bonus, here's a minor detail that I noticed. Whenever Ranma's rivals want to insult him, they all go "Yurusan!(Unforgivable!)" or "Onore!!(You!!)".

But Gosunkugi instead repeatedly says "Saotome no Baka!!(Stupid Saotome!!)" just like his suitors do.

Daily Doodle 1 - Ranma Saotome

Ranma was such a huge part of my childhood. Like I think many trans people of a certain age, the original Ranma 1/2 was one of the first times I was presented with this idea of people being able to change genders. I dreamed of visiting Jusenkyo. Needless to say I'm loving MAPPA's remake so far.

Starting a new Daily Doodle streak. Forth attempt of the year. The previous streak went 62 days, let's see if I can top that

Guess it's safe to say I'm back into regularly reading manga/comics for the time being XD

1) Reading Ichi the Witch (forgot there was a chapter and caught up in time for the next one coming in a few days)

2) Catching up on Dandadan (Currently on chapter 108)

3) Reading One Pound Gospel

4) Reading Webtoon's Wanna Be Friends

5) Started Firefly Wedding

I love that we’re shown Akane’s male-type through Dr. Tofu.

Dr. Tofu is sweet, soft spoken (except when he’s tweaking from Kasumi exposure), gentle, and knows a lot about martial arts. He even has longer hair tied back in a ponytail.

I think this is really important because when Ranma isn’t performing toxic masculinity and he’s allowed to be soft, you can see some of the things they have in common.

Ready for some anything goes martial arts cosplay? Yeah, I'm gonna do a Ranma 1/2 project.

Not getting too nostalgic but it is time to do a cosplay from the first manga I ever bought with my money. That's right, I randomly picked up a copy of Ranma 1/2 at the bookstore, paying that $15.95 (corrected for inflation, $28.97) for the original first edition left-to-right formatted copies. A whole new generation of anime fans are being introduced to the Rumiko Takahashi manga now with the remake by Studio Mappa. Just like another 90s cosplay I did in 2023 I too can have some fun with this one as well. I could be very basic and go for the classic Ranma outfit. The red top with black pants and call it a day. But why would I make my life easy? This is a cosplay project it has to have to be a challenge to sew! The manga has such a diverse amount of outfits that are featured in it as well! I'm currently between two different outfits from the manga:

Color artwork from the third edition cover with Ranma in yellow with a red floral pattern. OR

The Cat Cafe outfit he wore when he was working as a waitress.

Which is so stinking cute with the light yellow apron and the ruffle headband! Interestingly, there is anime artwork with this with a different pattern here:

A quick breakdown for both of these outfits.

1.) Top - yellow short sleeve, red three-quarter length sleeve but same bias binding.

2.) Pants - length is the same, just past the knee. 3.) Apron - very much typical maid style with ruffles and fitted around the waist and chest with an A-line flare out 4.) Headband with ruffle Fabric - Since the outfits have drawn in details, there is no way I'm going to find a fabric that will match these, let alone be a close dupe. I am leaning towards drawing out the pattern and then printing it via Spoonflower so I can get my preferred fabric and match the pattern exactly.

Thankfully both sets of clothing have the black bias tape binding. Pattern -

This time, instead of drafting the pattern myself, I think I will try an established pattern for the top and the pants are gonna be very simple with a tie waist. I will go ahead and modify one of these two patterns to make the top so it falls around my hips.

A Shampoo inspired pattern from Cut/Sew

Or this one from Porcupine Patterns

I can already tell that the Cut/Sew pattern has some modifications/shortcuts with a zipper on the back instead of on the side seam under the armpit. It additionally puts the darts in for the bust horizontally while the Porcupine Patterns has vertical darts. However, I have worked with a Cut/Sew pattern previously and they give a very liberal range of sizes and maybe I don't always feel like tweaking it the way the other one will require. I can already see myself smooshing the patterns together since I'd prefer to use the vertical darts to make the shape. This will definitely require a mock up to make sure I get the fit of the top correct before dropping serious cash on the Spoonflower fabric. I'm leaning towards the Organic Cotton or Organic Cotton Sateen since it will have a slight sheen. I do want it to be breathable and not a sweaty mess. Even though they have a Satin, it is poly so that is a hard no.

I think the first step will be getting a pattern or two and moving onto that mock up stage!

draw akane beefy pls and thanks she deserves it

Ranma Saotome: Hey, you! Yeah, you! The idiot with the stupid hat! Leave that girl alone! [Ranma walks over] Ranma: Listen, buddy. I used to be like you… always treating girls like crap… But, ya know… Over the years, I've learned that girls deserve respect like everyone else. Some girls are pretty strong, too. I know a more than a few who'd kick your teeth in if they heard half the trash coming outta your mouth. [Ranma grabs some guy's iced tea and throws it in his own face, poofing into his female form. Ranma then flashes a wicked grin, the iced tea dripping down her face only adding to her unhinged look] Ranma (girl-type): And I'm one of 'em!!

You’re not the only one

Oh boyy not me in the ranma hell hole

Ranma ½ headcanons, in light of the upcoming new anime:

the thing about Ranma 1/2 as a manga is that each character mistakenly believes they are the protagonist of a different genre than the one they are in.

most of us recognize that Kunō believes he is the romantic protagonist of a jidaigeki or some other samurai drama, where those who oppose him are comic villains and he cuts a dashing figure, his morality defined by being the handsome samurai. In a cowboy movie, his character would have a white hat and teeth to match.

Kodachi, in turn, believes she is the heroine of a shojo manga, and will force this view on the world if she has to scatter the flowers herself.

those who have read far enough in the manga may recognize that Konatsu views herself (arguably justifiably) as the star of a Cinderella story.

perhaps less apparent is Ryōga's perspective on his life as a romantic tragedy. This is a young man who speaks of his own "heart of glass", whose fantasies are full of flowers and wide sparkling eyes. Estrogen would not fix him, but it couldn't hurt.

Mousse and Shampoo live as though they are the stars of more traditional romantic comedies; their uses of martial arts, poisons, magic, and other forms of violence are justified in the view of each one by their perspective that they are the Good Option.

I would argue that Shampoo even seems to see herself as her personal cultural equivalent to the "All-American Girl Next Door" character type; she works for a living but has conventionally beautiful features. If you were to compare them to Archie comics characters, Shampoo sees herself as the Betty; the only opponent she really seems to spend much time worrying about in the manga is Akane, who from Shampoo's perspective perhaps seems like a pampered daughter of wealth (look at the size of the Tendō property) who lacks traditionally feminine skills like cooking and murder.

Genma and Sōun are convinced they're in stories about filial piety, where they will be rewarded by their children being skillful, loyal, successful, and fitting ideals of masculinity and femininity while caring for them in their old age.

we don't see as much of Ukyō's perspective, but it's evident that she sees Ranma as a side character, the man she's going to marry in order to mind the home while she focuses on building her career as a cook.

Akane in the manga is maybe the most grounded in the reality of her world: she recognizes the martial arts anarchy around her, she calls out other characters on their delusions, and her big flaws in her self-image are less about genre and more of a conviction that she should be able to succeed at something just by trying really hard. If she's stuck in an idea, it's the notion that her life is an inspirational story of what you can achieve with raw effort alone...never mind things like following recipes or actually practicing sewing or swimming, Akane's ready to skip to the end of the training montage!

and Ranma?

what is Ranma's delusion about the nature of the story?

it's simple.

Ranma is convinced she's the male lead.

[jams-sims]

Something something- Ranma and Akane first meeting is how all of Ranma obssessed would be sutiors meet him. Let me explain- the formula for how Ranma ends up with his none harem (because he dont like them hoes). Is they all pick one form of Ranma to like and refuse to get to know the otherside.

Ranma and Akane first meeting, Akane is only really interested in female Ranma as a friend. Akane was super happy to have a girl partner to train with. (Theres a whole ass post to be made about Akane life, before Ranma and his father moved in.) Shes so alone which is weird- Akane is not disliked by the female body of her school. Akane is popular! Again why is she the only one doing any form of fighting. Thinking of it now i dont think akane has friends "friends".

But its clear, she wants a connection in fighting with another girl. When Ranma turns out to be a guy, and her fiance. The illisuion of having a friend of the same gender to do matarial arts with is broken. But this in turn has more to do with Akane current gender experssion and hang ups. (We can't get into yet-). This rejection makes Ranma retaliate.

Its only when Akane comes to terms with her own personal problem, does she fully accept Ranma. This moves her out of the space with the other would be suitors. An into a lane of her own one, Ranma contuines to go back into. But there something there in that small space of Akane and Ranma first meeting.

Its so hard to pin point/explain it. Its a deep loneliness on Akane end that isnt really explored outside that small window when she had long hair. Theres also a fic to be made about Ranma hiding his male identity to hang out with Akane more.

The tendo house becomes way more lively once Saotome moves in. The dojo is used more often, its not just Akane trainning by herself. The long hair seems to repsent everything a girly girl should be. The- you have to be more lady like, a lot of unneed pressure Akane puts on herself with that long hair. Ranma a high fem girl popping up probably felt like vindication in Akane eyes. Look see a girl whos is super feminie can do martial arts as well!! Only to have that betrayed, when the girl turns out to be a guy. An then you say a bunch of shit you dont mean. Resetting your relationship to negative 10. But! There something so idk how to explain it. There something there-

Ranma and Akane fall in love in that first meeting.

Maybe its different type of love, maybe its only from Ranma end. But there something so undefinable about it, that makes it feel like love. Love at first sight, rejection, and then the rest of the show is reconciliation. It feels like this is the first time Akane has ever liked someone outside of the doctor dude. Which was probably really jaring for her. Ranma has spent all his time trainning i dont think romance even crossed his mind, let alone a friendship. Akane becomes one of the only character (im being hyperbolic) that accepts Ranma as both guy and girl. In that single isolated moment breed so much.

I don't think they ever have a moment like that again. Akane and Ranma from that point onwards are never truly left alone. When they are its interpurted, or they're going somewhere- Especially! With serious moments. It really does feel like their first meeting they fell in love, broke up, and tentatively got back together.
