Discord 1/2

Summary:

Ranma Saotome has a problem.

Ever since he was young he's had certain... feelings. Feelings that someone training to be a 'man among men' absolutely should not be feeling. Feelings that maybe, it would have been better to be born a girl instead.

So what's a burgeoning young trans woman to do, stuck with a father who will probably never accept her?

Join a Discord server about it, obviously.

Notes:

This fic very heavily relies on a custom workskin, please make sure you have custom workskins enabled. All credit to TrojanTeapot for the 2023 Discord Theme Workskin which I have made only slight changes to for use in this fic.

Chapter 1: Welcome to The Jianghu Discord Server

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

2) Go to # roles to pick your roles, which give access to specific channels, pings for events, and other functions.

Last Remarks
This server is meant for all of us to have a supportive, safe environment to discuss being trans outside the mundane world. We have a zero-tolerance policy for slurs, bullying, non-consensual hex-casting, duels to the death, honor killings, non-consensual rivalries, knowledge stealing, binding blood oaths, suicide pacts, necromancy, roaring rampages of revenge, and any and all discussion of bounty hunting/mercenary work. We are required to follow Discord ToS regardless of any claims to the contrary. If you're going to be stupid, do it somewhere else.

have you considered violence?

Queen of Eternal Darkness02/23/2024 at 4:25 PM

I have not tried stabbing my clinical depression, no.

hiYAPPAPPApaya02/23/2024 at 4:25 PM

oh! i can try stabbing it for you if you want! im really good at it!

Doctor Worm02/23/2024 at 4:27 PM

While there are indeed techniques that allow one to physically 'fight' their emotions, they almost always lead to the user's ki becoming dangerously unstable. I would not advise any stabbings. @Queen of Eternal Darkness you know my clinic is always open if you need help, or just a friendly ear.

Queen of Eternal Darkness02/23/2024 at 4:27 PM

Thank you Doctor but truly, I am fine. I apologize that my dark musings upon the void have garnered such concern.

Welcome, martialartslover87. Stay awhile and listen. 02/23/2024 at 4:37 PM

Notes:

Next chapter, Ranma fully introduces herself to the server! (probably)

Some of the characters who show up in the server are Ranma 1/2 characters, others are characters from other properties, and some are just random OCs. Is this confusing? Yes, probably.

So far we have two crossover characters called out by name:
Hibari Oozora, from Stop! Hibari-kun, an 80s manga that has a transfem protagonist (and is actually pretty good except for a few dated bits)
Akemi Roppongi is from Maison Ikkoku, another work by Rumiko Takahashi, but more particularly she's here because of her appearance in various ThrashJazz fics.

This fic is inspired by the various Discord servers I've joined since beginning my journey as a trans woman, the community they have provided, the friends I have made, and the many stupid bits I've done therein.
