terajk: Ryoga, grabbing Ranma by his pajama-top and shouting: "Do you remember where my house is?!" (ryoga: do you remember where my house is)
I wrote a squeetastic post about how Ryoga Hibiki is an Awesome Disabled Person (not that I'm biased because we share impairments or anything, or because Rumiko Takahashi portrays these impairments so fucking accurately and in ways that get right what "experts" frequently screw up), but I lost it. Ryoga would be proud--or maybe he'd just weep sympathetically. Oh, well. Have a poll.

Following other people is a very important life skill for me, and other people frequently take me places. While the two of us may lose each other (say, if they turn a corner or I stop to look at something), but we don't often get lost together. And yet, whenever Ryoga and Ukyo go places together (so far), they've gotten lost.  Ukyo is like: "You directionless jerk!", etc. Why doesn't Ukyo find their way? Or, you know, just leave him there?

Psst! Even if you're not familiar with Ranma 1/2, I want your opinion! Canon isn't particularly helpful, and anyway, I love you.

Why do Ryoga and Ukyo (and *only* Ukyo) get lost together?

The places they're in (an obstacle course, caves) are difficult for anyone to navigate, spatial impairment or no.

Ukyo's sense of direction isn't stellar, either, or she doesn't give very good directions, or both.

Between Ryoga's arrogance/defensiveness and his Chivalry Reflex, he doesn't accept Ukyo's help.

Should I (re-)write the "Ryoga is an Awesome Disabled Person" post, with references this time?
