Okay but Ranma 1/2 modern au. The original story takes place in the late 1980s, that is over 30 years ago, nothing wrong with that time period but just imagine the story just taking place in 2020, but 2020 that isn't insane and just chill. 2019 but it's just 2020

This au is also inspired by @incorrectranmaquotes concept of modern au Ranma using his female form to be a gamer girl twitch streamer.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

• Ranma and Akane are now in their late teens, maybe 19, and are college students rather than 16 year old high schoolers

• Arranged marriages have now become a rarity, and it would be very odd to be in one, let alone two young college students. But here is Akane and Ranma being in one. This results in their betrothal becoming a skeptical by others for various reasons. Those reasons being: Akane never shows interest in relationships and has turned down ever suitor, they are so young, and they hate each other

• Ranma is actually a professional martial artist. Since we was a kid he was trained to be one and has participated around the world in tournaments which resulted in him being home schooled for a good chunk of his life and then did online school. Though he does wants to study to become a physical therapist in college.

• Ranma secretly hopes that when he goes to a tournament, he'll see his mom there. He knows that his parents had a falling out and he knows his mom travels around with a circus as an acrobat. He hopes that during one of his tournaments, the circus his mom works at happens to be in town. Unfortunately, there have been times where he found out his mother's circus is going to be in the same town but it always arrives before his tournament and by the time he arrives it's gone or after the tournament when he already left so he never gets to see her.

• Ranma doesn't hold resent towards either of his parents over their divorce and his mother having very little contact with him, he just wants to see his mom again since the last time he saw her was when he was 4.

• Akane knows on day she will take over her father's dojo, that's why she's majoring in business. However she's also double majoring with psychology because she always wanted to be a some sort of school teacher.

• Akane is definitely a workaholic. This woman not only is double majoring, but she is an assistant at her dad's dojo to help him teach new students and she works at a local ice cream shop.

• Ranma is just baffled that Akane works herself to the bone while he's taking a more passive work load. That starts a number of their arguments since Ranma is much more lax while Akane is going sicko mode and getting coin.

• Akane complains that Ranma has a lot of free time and he should at least get a part time job. Little does she know this man moonlights at night as a female twitch streamer, using his female form.

• Ramna is your e girl, gamer girl, twitch Goddess. You can't tell me otherwise since it's the modern equivalent to Ranma using his female form to get free food. He absolutely purposely unbutton his shirts as he streams just to appear more appealing to her viewers to get that coin.

• His twitch streamer username is Red_Dragon_Gaming. He just goes by Red and he calls his fans his dragons.

• He probably just streams himself playing PC games and sometimes Nintendo games.

• Akane blows a casket when she finds out he is that infamous twitch streamer since so many of her classmates basically worship that streamer. Doesn't help that Ranma sometimes shows up to college in his female form by accident. People start bothering her if she can get Red's signature or can get them something that Red's owns since she knows their gamer girl goddess.

• Kuno is absolutely one of Red's subscribers and white knights. But now he's torn between Akane and Red even thought both and 100% not interested in him. No doubt he pesters Akane, all while flirting with her, if she can obtain something from Red like a shirt or a sock. He leaves with a bruise on his arm.

• Kuno definitely is a secret, not secret, neckbeard on reddit but at least he's hygienic. He honestly just needs to drink more respect women juice and he'll be fine. He's a Business major as well which makes Akane dread her classes sometimes because he pesters her in class.

• Even though Ranma doesn't like the idea of getting help, he appreciates Akane helping him fend off people when he happens to go to a public place as a girl.

• Also Ranma and Mr. Saotome absolutely could gave avoided getting cursed if they actually read the full article about Jusenkyo. They probably read like the first few paragraphs and then said, "it's free real estate" and went to train there. The rest of the article discussed the curses in great detail. This all happened when Ranma was 16.

• Ranma actually ran into Shampoo, in his girl form, shortly after he got cursed and she challenged him to a duel since she saw him training. By then she was cursed but Ranma didn't know that.

• Course Ranma beats her and she gave him the kiss of death. When Shampoo came swinging with a blade, he dipped. Shampoo has been hunting down Ranma ever since. She would always be a few days late to his new location and by then he already left.

• She finally finds him when he and Akane are actually doing laundry together and for once aren't arguing. And the scene plays out just like in canon and now Shampoo is dead set on being his wife much to everyone's dismay.

• Shampoo definitely transfers to their college in order to get closer to Ranma. She's actually a Business major like Akane and is a Communication minor.

• Her grandmother lives in town and she was always planning to move in with her, even before she got engaged to Ranma. She plans to continue working at her grandmother's shop and will own it in the future. So Shampoo sees all of this as destiny.

• Shortly after Shampoo settles in, Mousse follows. This dude is in love with Shampoo and thought they were going to get married before Shampoo sent him a text that their engagement is off since she's now engaged with Ranma.

• Before her engagement to Ranma, Shampoo and Mousse actually had a happy healthy relationship and are super supportive of one another. They were waiting til they got older to officially get married, probably around age 23, since they both wanted to get stable careers and a home together first.

• They constantly texted each other while she was hunting down Ranma and he would also help her track Ranma down. Shampoo's contact name for Mousse was "My Honeybun 💕" and his contact name for her was "My Queen 💖"

• Rip Mousse because after she sent him that text, she blocked him.

• Now he transferred to that same college as a Chemistry major, he wants to be a chemist, and is trying his best to challenge Shampoo to a duel to win her back. Though Shampoo won't give him the time of day. Again rip Mousse since it makes hin feel as if their several year long relationship meant nothing to her.

• Ryoga is pretty much the same as in cannon. He was home schooled his whole life and does online college. He's a huge traveler and loves visiting different locations. He even has a YouTube channel dedicated to his vlogs around the world.

• His youtube channel's name is Travel Grump. Since he loves pigs, he calls his subscribers piglets. A lot of his merch is centered around pigs.

• Though this clown was hunting down Ranma and just like in cannon fell into the lake. He didn't read the right article and assumed Jusenkyo was like any other training ground.

• He's studying in college to be a journalist and he double majors in Communications and English.

• He starts to fall for Akane after getting to know how more and also the fact she's a martial artist that can kick his ass just sets his heart a blaze. Though he's pissed that Akane and Ranma are fiances and he is secretly, not really, trying to break off their engagement.

• Akane actually struggles a lot with her identity and sexuality. She identities as a cis woman however her struggles lies in her femininity and masculinity. She is caught between wanting to be a traditional, feminine woman like her late mother and her masculine, rash, and aggressive behavior and activities. She feels like she can't stray away from the reputation she build up for many years that she's this strong, aggressive bold tomboy. She feels that because of this she can't enjoy feminine things. It doesn't help that when she attempts to do something that is a gender norm for girls like cooking or knitting, she fails at it. She is trying to find that balance. And about her sexuality, she started debating in college if she might be asexual considering she finds herself having no sexual interest yet does want to have a kid in the future. She is going through a lot of self discovery and questioning.

• Doesn't help that she secretly has low self esteem, body image issues, and is super self conscious. All that is masked under her temper.

• Ranma actually can relate to her since he struggles to understand himself, trying to get comfortable with his own sexuality, and understanding how to live with his curse if he can't find the cure for it. This actually leads to Ranma and Akane establishing an understanding between each other and starts to develop their relationship.

• Though Ranma always screws any attempt of friendship or romance by doing something dumb.
