Well, this 'ought to be worth a few laughs. "MILF 1/2"

[Tuisto]

Back in February I had an awful, awful idea. I thought and thought it over, and then decided to offload my idea onto Materia_Blade, and well... he liked it.
I'm still not certain if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

But anywho, my insane thought was just yet another take on the Ranma falls into a different spring at Jusenkyo genre.

Here's what I wrote to MB:

I was recently rereading through HerWar and my Own Daimakaicho Ranma, trying desperately to putz out some more paragraphs that I could be happy with when an idea so absurd came to me I KNEW I had to share it with someone that might be more receptive to the idea.

You're first on my list. Poor you.

Now, this may seem insane... hell, it probably IS insane, but bear with me now.

Ready?

MILF1/2
Follow the adventures of an aquatransexual that goes from being a 16 year old boy to a 32 year old woman depending on the weather!

We're all very familiar with Ranma who fell into the spring of "Drowned Young Girl" with the emphasis on Young, she's a teenager. Yadda-yadda.

Now what say happens when Ranma falls into the spring of "Drowned Mature Woman"? I'd reckon Hilarity!

A few simple scenes to run through your brain, just to torment you.

"Genma, newly pandafied looks out over the pools of Jusenkyo, to see his son turned daughter arise from the waters. When she turns to face him he craps himself seeing a younger (mid 30's) knockout MILF, that could be Nodoka's (younger & foxier) sister."
Much pandabashing ensues of course.

"Ranma, now in HER older cursed form, actually gets a kick out of being older, SHE gets respect, A LOT of respect. At the Amazon tourney she finds a new skill with her cursed form, 'The Power of Mom' that unique ways of speaking that conveys disappointment, anger, and chastisement (aka Yenta voice) that most Moms seem to know instinctually. She uses it with devastating effects on Shampoo.
As we know from Manga, Shampoo's birth mother was dead/gone from her life, and at this moment Shampoo imprints on obasan-Ranma as being a suitable replacement mamma.
Queue ridiculous kiss/confusion and chase across China as Shamps chases Ranma for motherly affection. Instead of Shampoo shouting for "Airen!" she shouts for "MaiMi!" (mommy in Chinese)

"obasan-Ranma and Panda now enter the Tendo's. Soun is instantly smitten, Akane gets in a huff for this woman who dares seduce her Father. I have no clue how a bath or sparing scene would go, but it would be priceless!

in cannon it's Akane that never gets the connection between Ryoga and PChan, however in THIS reality, it's Ryoga that never makes the connection between Ranma and obasan-Ranma. As she's 'got it goin' on' as the song goes... He might even figure that she's the Tendo-girls step-mom!

Kuno might be tough to fit in... something more along the lines of "ah the mystique of a mature woman, but alas our love shall be unrequited, like the gulf between our ages..." blah blah blech...

Furinkan school you ask? Why that's actually simple, she gets mistake for the new school Secretary! No classes for Ranma, plus she lords it over Nabiki the power she holds. Silly martial arts fights might include Anything Goes Dewey-Decimal Filing and Anything Goes Secretarial Rumble where the Scretaries of Kohlkotz and St.Hebereke challenge obasan-Ranma! Much hilarity!

The scene that I've thought of most would be a early meeting between Nodoka and obasan-Ranma. The two "women" meet in a park as just complete strangers but take a seat and begin to chitchat. It's fascinating to watch two (or more) women that can be complete stranger chat each other up, for HOURS over nothing... but I digress.
As Ranma speaks Nodoka starts to draw some lines to connect the dots.
Her husband has been away for 10 years with nary a word sent her way.
This woman claims she sleeps in the same room as a man named Genma
Nodoka rationalizes that there could be any number of men named Genma... then obasan-Ranma mentions Soun Tendo.
little lights go off in Nodoka's head, the dots connect and 2+2=5, and she in her mind realizes WHY Genma and Ranma haven't returned to her yet... he's been cheating on her with this hussy!
Nodoka screams "YOU HOME WRECKING WHORE!" or something to that affect as she unsheathes her sword and proceeds to attack obasan-Ranma.

It's all very insane and all oh so very rough, but it's something I wanted to share... see I've been DREAMING this one, and the Mrs. has found my sleep laughing more disturbing than usual.


Well, I hope I've not scared or scarred you with this rambling jumbled insanity that I've pounded out here at 1:00am... but well my muse is a sick twisted little masochistic SOB that wouldn't let me rest until I vented this idea.
So what say you?
Should I be calling for a nice padded room? Mmmm... padded rooms.... (drools)

Here's his reply:

Haha. It sounds good. Honestly I don't think i've ever seen an 'older Ranma before.' Only thing I can think of that's near is the one with a 'younger' Ranma. Ranma = Hotaru and thus Saturn in Destiny's Child.

Hehe. Akane opens the door. Sees Ranma's male form.

"OH MY GOD! There's a pervert in the bathroom trying to molest Obaasan!"

"Excuse me."

Blink blink. "I assure you, I was not trying to molest myself child." Obaasan Ranma says.

"But I... You...! But...! But that boy...! And..."

"And you're very attractive without you're clothes dear."

"...!!!?!?!"

Lulz.

Soooo.... yeah... What do the denizens of Fukufics think if this little WTF!-ism that I've cooked up?

We all knew that Ranma had a unwanted affinity to felines, but who'da guessed it would be a Cougar?!?!

[PCHeintz72]

Something like this has sort of been done... though not quite the same way.

Think of the Ranma and Kim Possible crossover with Ranma turing into Shego... Or Shiela Go, as a assitent teacher at Furinken, with adult interaction, and respect from many, including oddly enough Kuno.

R-KP 'Take the Green and Go' by Usagi-Hasano - [Dld Date=02/10/2009] - [Dld Size=721kb] - [Dld Files=16] - [Status=Inactive]

Wish it would be continued.

[Tuisto]

I believe that I did in fact read that one. I didn't really enjoy it, mainly because it crossed with a show I initially did not know, then after viewing some of the Kim Possible, I found that I did not like the show.
Then as I recall, Shego was around-about 22 (at least early 20's), yes?

I MY thinking that doesn't really constitute a "older Ranma chan" fanfic so much.

I do find it interesting that the idea hasn't been explored more. I mean, you, the encyclopedic authority on all things Ranma-fiction on this forum, can only dredge up one other vaguely remotely similar type of fanfiction? le-gasp! It boggles the mind!

[Crescent Pulsar R]

I like the general idea. Unless there's some mental affect that's a part of the curse, though, I'm not sure how soon Ranma would adopt such a behavior, or how far he'd take it. But I reckon that some of the fun would be in him discovering the usefulness of his age, as a woman. Though, technically, one can't really be a MILF without first bearing a child, amirite? ;p

I don't think I'd follow some of the specific ideas given, but I'm toying around with the general idea in my head already, so... Maybe I'll write something along these lines in the future. Priorities come first, though.

Now... no need for that. I did not say that was the only example ever, only the one to immediately come to mind. This was not a search thread after all, and that was merely an idle comment. And I never once stated I've read and know everything of the Ranma Fandom.

Shego in that by the was was mentioned as being 23. Which is only a year off.

I can think of others where Ranma becomes older girl/woman... the issue is in most of those it is either grown into the older form, or is a crossover character and thus preventing Ranma from experiencing it form a older perspective.

For example, there are a few Ranma as Pluto ones out there (recently 'Ranma the Prophetess' by ejhawman)... likewise Ranma as Washu or Ryoko ('Two in One' by Proteus comes most to mind, others exist), Neither is a good candidate for this idea though.

I can even think of one where Jusenkyo has him controlling briefly a older woman's body and living in it ('A Stitch in Time' by Michael Fetter). But it does not overly meet the terms of the idea.

The AA thread 'Divine Blood' mostly by Thythlind has Ranma locked for some 17 years as female, though she gets unlocked. She now in her/his mid 30's is respected for her skills and abilities, and 3 kids... though it is not really a normal life. But Ranma was not cursed to turn into a older woman, Ranma merely grew up with the form.

'Age of Titans' by Ozzallos has a grown up cursed Ranma, exact time frame uncertain though. Quite some time after Nerima. But again, grew into it.

'Well After Christmas' by Siaru has a grown up female Ranma... but little is known of it, since it was a one shot. Again, she grew into it.

Other examples abound. But most have her grow into it. I do vaguely recall running across one with Ranma becoming a female Nodoka (she apparently beat them to Jusenkyo and drowned, could not tell you where I came across it in passing years ago.

I recall one where Ranma became an adult Phoenix female (not the one by Ozzallos), but that would not meet the terms either.

More has been done with Ranma as a kid than an adult.

EDIT1: for an adult perspective, but not an adult body... there is 'Passenger Revision', or 'Passenger Along for the Ride' by Selene Starblade.

EDIT2: One bad thing does occur to me with this sort of setup... the childhood destroyed and the lost years of life should it be done... you guys are talking basically doubling his age to 30ish... that is 15 lost years of life.

[Crescent Pulsar R]

I know this isn't the place for this, so I apologize if it's unwanted, but I thought I'd mention a story that I vaguely remember reading once, a long time ago, where Ranma became the Tendo girls' mother. I think there was at least one other story like that, but this one was caused by a wish that Ranma had made. That's about all that I can recall of it, though. ;/

Well, that probably won't be too much of a problem, unless his curse gets locked. Or the story progresses to the point where his cursed form is old enough to die each time he changes.

There's probably been three or four that have Ranma as the Tendo's mother. One was a one-shot called "The Schools Are Joined in Me" (I think) and another is an active one called "The Secret Origin of Kimiko Tendo". Pretty sure there's been one or two others, though.

[Dumbledork]

In one of borgrabbit's stories Ranma is changed into a copy of Nodoka after falling into the spring.

As I understand it females have a life expectancy that is on average is 5-9 year longer than males, which would help to offset the problem of early death problem slightly. Or since the springs are age specific you could have it so the curse form doesn't age pass a certain point or slowly ages until his normal form catches up (maybe have Cologne explain it as a form of mercy from the Cursed Springs).

[Ellen Kuhfeld]

I'd like to see the story. The spring would need mental (as well as physical) effects - but there are enough springs like that in fanon that nobody would be completely surprised.

There is at least one spring with mental and physical effects in canon. The one of that penetent monk that was part of the Jusenkyo Preservation Society.

Canon I wasn't sure of. Fanon, I was.

[Shanami]

I would definitely read it. I'm big into humor fics, especially with Ranma at the base. This actually reminds me in a very different way of Blonde 1/2 (can't remember the author) in that Ranma will have people falling all over her, but mostly older men.

I can't see a way it wouldn't be funny. Personally, I think it'd be amusing if Ranma could fight through the mental effects (assuming there are some) giving her a sort of split personality. If you write it, I'll read it.

[frice2000]

Sounds like a really quite interesting story. The Shampoo interaction alone feels worth the price of admission.

Another bit of interaction I'd toss in if you do some mental effects would be to have one of the Tendo sisters act pretty against type with the new older Ranma cursed form. Maybe Nabiki to really change the dynamics around or hell have Kasumi break out of her shell either one of those with them 'modeling' on her would be a interesting dynamic.

I love your idea about her getting a job as an adult at the school though I'd go for a non-physical education teaching position just to see the chaos of how she would attempt to deal with it though Secretary would be interesting too. It's been done in another fic but Chestnut fist would be amazing for typing speed . Oh and collating documents with a little tornado every now and then? Maybe chi blasts to destroy documents rather then a shredder. Maybe a breaking point for opening well sealed packages, envelopes and software? Better still have these skills be the same as cannon Amazon techniques but taught to her by an older longer serving secretary with totally different names, training regimens and variable purposes which she could then adapt to fighting...Would be funny to go into the need to be fashion conscious as well as a superb martial artist to fit in with the other stuff you outlined. Could see her countering the cannon Ukyou gun powder bombs with glue and then defeating her by tossing a few thousand paperclips to pin her to the ground.

The Nodoka scene I'd have her spread that out over a bit of time not just right in one chapter reveal all of that. Make them friends first and then slowly introduce the elements you had outlined. That way there is a little more tension then all at once going 'bam' here is an info dump...Hell maybe even have Nodoka bring her over for tea one day and then have Ranma offer on another day and have her meet Genma again...then have your wrong conclusion segment . Much more satisfying with possible strewn panda parts included!

All in all I really hope to see that fic sounds like it'd be a great read.

[Spokavriel]

Why couldn't that Secretary with the Amazon skills idea be an actual Amazon who is living out in the world with her Husband and daughters? Maybe even shoehorn her into being the Mother of one of Akane's friends? Have her go by the name Condi people will think its like that fameous Rice woman in America but really is short for Conditioner.

That friends before mistaken identity idea though could end up more tragic too. Ranma may be a bit thick but given that much of a time frame she could work out that this is actually her Mother. The one who: for all she knew, from how much Genma refused one word about, was dead.
