❝ I must never reveal my weaknesses to anyone. I must never waver. If I did, a demon would get the better of me. Inside, I am an ordinary woman, yet I cannot reveal myself as such. In many ways we are similar, both outsiders. That is why I was unable to kill you. ❞

The prompts were chosen in order to encourage everyone to participate. Any form of participation is welcome. Drabbles, graphics, fanarts, gifs, fanfics, playlists, collages, scans, colorings…
Rules
Your work must be original. No AI. Don´t repost other people´s work.
Don´t edit other people´s work. Don’t use fanarts for your visual creations (colourings, graphics et cetera).
Use warning tags if needed and in case you’re using a “read more” write the warnings before the cut too.
In case of nsfw content use a “read more”. If it’s something that would show up in the manga or anime the ¨read more¨ wont be necessary (to quote tumblr stuff female presenting nipples are fine).
You can pick one prompt or use all of them, you can take part only once or every day. It’s up to you.
The tag will be tracked for a month. Late posts will be reblogged. If you post them earlier they will be reblogged for the corresponding day.
If your posts weren’t reblogged feel free to send an ask. Sometimes tags won’t work, sometimes tumblr is being tumblr.(mentioning is a better in this sense)
Have fun and if you have any questions don’t hesitate to ask!
They have been my comfort ship and otp for a looong time! Whenever I see them together I get happy.
Bonus:
I know if the manga had continued longer and we got more moments with these two, Ranma looking on while eating crackers like his favorite romantic comedy show is on would have definitely been a running gag.
Rumic World Week -- A Second Post Favorite Relationships
As everyone in this community knows, I am the number 1 Ryoga and Ukyo shipper and have been on this train for like, over 10 years atp. Just real quick I wanted to mention some reasons why I find the ship compelling!
I like their similar histories, friends with Ranma forced to give up family and community over a grudge with a boy who thought they were best friends. And I think the different ways Ryoga and Ukyo respond to rekindling their relationship with Ranma is interesting. Opposite in execution, but both remain unable to define themselves outside of him.
They also have a lot in common. They are some of the only characters in the manga who are friends without complications (at the end of the day, pretty much all rivals are friends, for example, Akane and Shampoo, but they still have their grudges). And I like seeing them interact as sincere friends. I think Ryoga has a tendency to mope and be intensely melodramatic, unable to separate himself from his emotions or the situation. While I like Akari, I wish he didn't end up with a girl who thinks the world of him. I think he needs someone who's more of a realist, who won't take him too seriously and will bop him on the head when he's depressed and snap him out of it.
Ukyo is strong and confident, and I think she compliments him well. She has her own goals and business, so she wouldn't be as bothered if he were missing for long stretches of time. She also implies on a few occasions that her ideal partner plays more of a domestic and/or parental role, allowing her to maintain her restaurant. I think Ukyo can be harsh and demanding at times, and I think it'd be interesting if she had to learn more emotional patience in a relationship. She's not an intrinsic caregiver, but she is a fighter and a defender. Whereas Ryoga is a martial artist, but emotionally he tends towards the sappy and romantic route, rather than the vocal protector. I think they contrast each other nicely in their personalities and their dynamic.
They also are two characters who are not the protagonists of the manga, but still manage to grow ever so slightly by the end, which is huge in a gag based Takahashi comedy. I think they have great potential to grow together, and are a positive influence on each other. I will always be sad they never spoke again as friends after the Tunnel of Lost Love. I also think there's so much angst potential considering their biggest rival is the one the other person fell for.
But to be honest I just like them in any context, including platonic. I find their platonic interactions to be fun and humorous, and tbh when I write them I almost always write them platonically. I'm basically in this fandom because I'm always seeking out new art/fics/content of this duo, in any capacity. Thanks for listening to my little Ryoga/Ukyo pitch. And if anyone knows a good fic or artwork, feel free to tag or DM me! :)
The reason why this piece of shit is my fav antagonist is that he has zero redeeming points. No sad backstory whatsoever. No silly jokes. He is just a horrible person and his looks isn't going to save him. A villain through and through. He makes me want to sock him.
An A+ villain.
(Fun fact; Mermaid's gaze was the only story never to get animated due to being too violent. It was apparently worse than Mermaid's scar, with its piano vires and eye poking and all)
