Ranma ½ Rosario + Ranma

[iiowyn]

First off, let it be established I am a fan. The scene in Yagami 1/2 where Ranma dumps Kuno is one of the funniest I have ever read, in just about any medium.

I just finished rereading the Ghost in the Shell manga, and the chapter written from a Tachikoma's point of view made me laugh as usual. It also reminded me of Ranma and his spiders (I blame the multiple legs).

So secondly, I demand a chapter, or at least and omake, solely from the point of view of the spiders as they take care of or deal with something of vital or world shattering importance. Which the other characters are completely oblivious about, because they are just spiders.

That brings me to the third part, where you provide. Make it so!

'Kay.
I'll mash something out this weekend.
It'll also be good foreshadowing.

The main reason I like "Guardian" is that Ranma's still Ranma.

Even with the time skip and the curse removed you can still tell he's Ranma. Still getting into the same situations and generally acting the same. Unlike many stories where, using the same general situation, the only reason you'd know that the character was Ranma was because of the name.

Not to say the fic's perfect, but it's still good.

But Nexus Ranma is... oh, right.
And Takahashi Soup... erm... well, he has an excuse, but yeah.
Huh. In Yagami 1/2 he doesn't even have the full name going for him.
Well, there's always Big Human! Still pretty Ranma-like, right?

 

[zeebee1]

He doesn't have enough girls after him to be Ranma. And no, Yukari doesn't count. If Ranma wanted a violent flat chested harpy he would have stayed in Nerima.

Technically he hasn't lost his Nerima harem. They just can't get to him.
So now he has girls for school and at home! How's that?

Plus, I guess Tobaki should count, too, if for no other reason than coming closer than any other girl to actual intercourse with him.

Tobaki can count the same way Kodachi does. There are actual a couple parallels between those two's relationships with Ranma.

 

[varth]

I still say you lost a lot of potential hilarity, once Tobaki stopped going after Ranma when Yukari's curse ended. Especially if she suggested to Mizore and Kana she would not mind foursome very much. Realizing how that would work with Tobaki in natural form could produce planetload of delicious trauma.

Yeah, but how long until that trauma becomes an unbeatable martial arts technique that forces him to mentally become what he fears?

Which in turn would make him even more appealing to Tobaki.

And that's how Keito won.

Her AND the terrorists.

Does insect repellent work on spiders?

 

[Dumbledork]

No idea. Spiders are not insects, though.

 

[Black Dragon74]

Does insect repellent work on spiders?

Insect repellant? Probably not.
Though it would be hard to know, since spiders don't usually approach humans in the first place. Repellants are specifically tailored to repel insects that feed on us.
I'm sure they don't find the smell pleasant, though.

 

[Dumbledork]

Whenever I see a spider my Dalek mode activates. *EXTERMINATE!* *EXTERMINATE!*

 

[Glernaj]

Well, the actual function of the vast majority of bug sprays/insect repellants is to block the ability for the bugs to detect the carbon dioxide and other gasses that emanate from your skin, essentially, they make you harder for bugs to notice rather than driving bugs away. Edit - This is the primary detection mechanism for most insects such as mosquitoes.

Spiders hunt primarily through the use of sight, sound, or feeling vibrations, depending on the species, with scent/taste being used mainly to check if something is actually edible once it's already been caught.

So no, bug spray wouldn't do jack against spiders. Some toxins would though.

Fascinating.
So the noxious smell of insect repellant is an entirely coincidental side-effect, and doesn't effect insects at all? Or does it smell that way specifically to obfuscate the detection of the gases?

Hey, now. Spiders are our friends!
They eat many of the most annoying and sometimes even dangerous pests that infest our households, such as mosquitoes, flies, cockroaches, and cats!

Hmm could be a combination of both.

I can remember this from HS Biology. Most people see repellent and think that bug sprays repell the insects when in fact it just makes us invisibile to them to a certain extent.

This... well...

So the most common "active ingredient" is <a href='http://npic.orst.edu/factsheets/DEETtech.pdf' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>DEET</a>, which does have an odor, but it's mild; it's mechanism is probably as a "deodorant" that interferes with the lactic acid and CO2 olfactors in mosquitoes etc that are used to detect humans (and other mammals).

That being said, essential oils are also common, and they're all over the place chemically, the only thing they have in common is... well, being oils.

Also, especially if it's the spray-on stuff, there are the (highly flammable) accelerates used to make it sprayable.

So, a little of column A, a little of column B?

[shioran toushin]

spiders i can deal with, Mosquitoes and Flies are KoS, cockroaches are not welcome.
Rats and Mice are on the KoS list as well... and cats are too btw.

I leave them alone so long as they're not in the way. As soon as I catch them crawling around in the bath or on the kitchen counter, though, they're dead.
Except for that black widow that was hiding behind my trash can, minding her own business. Smashed her good. I refuse to live with any animal that can kill me in my sleep.
