And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

Erm, it was pointed out to me that if I wanted people to actually answer the questionnaire, perhaps I should have provided a blank one with just the questions (and without my annoying babbling)! Anyway, without further adieu …

The Toriko Fan Questionnaire (AKA: I’m a nosy fellow fan and I want to get to know you better!)

_______________________

How did you get into Toriko?

Who’s your favorite character? Least favorite? And who, out of all the characters, are you the most like?

What would you pick as the “perfect” scene or arc from Toriko? Why?

What scene do you really want to see happen in the near future of the manga?

Are there any scenes that you NEVER wish to see?

Are there any actual scenes that you wish you never saw from the manga?!

What do you wish to see in the Toriko fandom? Do you have any particular “fanon” ideas that you are fond of?

*Looks around craftily, then whispers* What’s your opinion on shipping?! Forbidden loves? TORIKOXMEAT?!

And now, the second most important question … if you were going to eat a dish from the Gourmet World, what would it be?

Finally, the MOST important question …if you were a dish in the Gourmet World, what would you be?

_______________

And finally, the ever awesome tsunderepirate has a forum for Toriko! So go congregate there to be awesome and guts together! Erm. I’d go too, but I guess I’ll have to go find a link. XD

EDIT: Because tsunderepirate is a pirateninjaspyassassin, she answers really quickly, stealthily, and with lots of flare! HERE IS THE LINK TO THE FORUM! I will go … actually, I can’t right now, but I will go when I get some sleep and am less likely to make a fool of my self or stick a banana in my … ear. Huh. XD

Love you all lots! Poke me if you answer. <3

Oh! I just remembered what I wanted to do for Komatsu’s birthday … and before I got sick. 

We’re such a small fandom, but sometimes we feel so far apart. We don’t even have a fandom “question” thingie that I see a lot of fandoms have. And it’s a shame … most people I’ve met here in this fandom are pretty nice. Moreover, all of y’all make me curious. How did you get here? What do you like about being here? What is it about this comic (not to mention its manly men and its meat!) that makes you a fan?!

At any rate, I kinda wanted to throw out a questionnaire about Toriko  for the few people on my dashboard (actually, my tumblr really does have a tiny population … I really would like to get to know you better!) And since I kinda feel weird asking questions I won’t answer myself, here goes:

Umm. Err. That was quite a long bit of radio silence, eh? Oh well. Unfortunately, I got quite sick, had to miss work, whereupon work decide it really luuuuuuuurved and missed me and thus splorted all over me when I went back. -_-” GAAAH.

I’m not totally out of the work avalanche yet, but I thought, huh, I haven’t poked fandoms in a while. So. Um. Poke. X3

Interesting developments in the Toriko verse as of late. I have to admit, I haven’t quite been as errrm …. drawn in? …. by the current arc with the durian bomb fruit and the bubble fruit. Maybe it was the meds? But it definitely looks like we’re going to get some action soon now. (skip the next lines if you haven’t been spoiled buuuut ….) well, the tag says that trouble is headed for the temple, and with Toriko away … hrrrrm. I don’t think this is what is going to happen, but it would be nice for the roles of Toriko and Komatsu to be reversed. Toriko’s the one safe and kinda on a boring adventure on the bubble road … maybe it’s time for Komatsu to hold his own physically with his wonderful knife skills. It’d be hilarious if Toriko runs back, ready to kick ass, and Komatsu’s all like “ummm, ialreadydidthat,um,havesometea?!”

Perhaps that’s his test? 

Though honestly? My other guess is that … well … *blushes* eh. I’m never right about these things anyways. But man, they weren’t kidding about master chefs being able to slice up animals so well that they don’t know that they’ve died. XD Talk about in-flight meals. Poor birdie.

On another note, do I owe anyone any prompts? I think I may have gotten them all (or more likely, pawned them off on other people XD) but if I didn’t, please let me know.

Though … *peers into draft folder* remind me that writing when sick doesn’t exactly promote the most … sane … sort of plot lines. Can anyone tell me what to do with the two Toriko Aus that I apparently wrote underneath the influence of antibiotics? I don’t think the fandom needs werewolves, a horror story, and … wait, there’s THREE of them. Wtf?! At any rate, fandom needs these like it needs a root canal. Or even if these were GOOD au ideas (which they aren’t) they don’t need to be written by me. T___T I don’t wanna even talk about the third. Dear cheebus, WEREWOLVES?! *ugggh*

But yeah. Ahem. What did I miss, Toriko fandom? ^___^

Okay, I think that’s enough of embarrassing myself! It’s been quite a tumblr day though! I HIT 100 POSTS! I GOT two drabbles done!

I hope I convinced some other people to do some drabbles, and in reality I actually have a THIRD fic I’m sitting on for Komatsu’s B-day, but that one isn’t prepared yet.

Though looking at the erm *cough* quality *hackcoughhack* of the two drabbles I did post? YEAH. I don’t think I can actually improve my rep. *headclutchy* Ah well, nothing like public drabbling (without editing or planning) to bring out the embarrassment factor. It’s going to be an “OH GOD WHAT DID I POST?!” sort of morning tomorrow, isn’t it?

Still, this was fun! THANKS FOR THE PROMPTS, TORIKO FANDOM. WE SHOULD TOTES DO IT AGAIN FOR THE NEXT BIRTHDAY.

Though. *Begs* I hope I can get some other people to do it with me?  Cause I feel alone. And kinda nerdy. And very alone. XD OH well.

ps: I’ll take a couple of more prompts because it was fun, but well, I can’t promise anything. *wince*

truffledots:

Fiiinally done~ QvQ This took all day! It’s kind of choppy… but I did what I could OTL
I copied from this cute K-ON gif: here
When I saw it, I just though it would fit Toriko begging for food!

SOOO CUTE. ^___________^ I wish I could draw and animate like this. *stares happily*

Woohoo. I guess it’s fitting I end my 100th post with what I began the whole journal with: Toriko!

Happy Birthday Komatsu! Hehe, I kinda think this picture represents pretty much my view on the manga: it’s somehow a harem manga, with the most UNLIKELY harem magnet ever!

I also like this picture muchly:

SOOOOO cute. Everyone is wearing everyone else’s clothes. ^__^ I just love Sunny’s pose too.

One day, I’m sure someone will write that body switch fanfic. It won’t be me, because I’ve done more than enough damage. XD

But yeah. Happy Birthday, Komatsu, and woo, thanks for helping me reach 100 posts on what is essentially my Toriko blog!

ooooh, sounds fun! lets see, what shall we do to our lovable chef? Demon!kingsxKomatsu? heavenly kings throwing a surprise birthday? the possibilities are endless. X3

“BOW TO US, MORTAL!” boomed the voice across the kitchen. Komatsu could only stare, one hand still clutching a spatula. He had  inadvertently stuck the other into the bowl of batter he had been mixing.

He had a feeling that spatulas and batter, however, would be of little use against the unholy beings that had erupted from a hole in the kitchen floor. They were now advancing towards him, horned heads aflame and red eyes scorching with a searing light. There were four of them and each of them looked as if they could tear Komatsu apart with their pinkies.

“Uh …. excuse me?!”  he squeaked.

“THOU HAST SUMMONED US!” the largest of them roared. “BY THE COVENANT OF BLOOD AND FIRE!”

“But I was just making apple turnovers!” Komatsu wailed. “I’m certain I wasn’t making a covenant! Just apple turnovers!”

“APPLE TURNOVERS?! ART THOU CERTAIN YOU WERE NOT MIXING THE RECIPE FOR ETERNAL DAMNATION?!”

“Pretty sure,” Komatsu wavered. “Unless eternal damnation comes with a side of dried figs.” 

“Huh,” said the demon. “Guys, we might have a problem …”

whoever writes one, don’t include those terrible poppers, the kind that got Komtasu killed during the Puffer Whale arc lmfao

Come and join! You have just prompted yourself — three gifts that Toriko NEVER should’ve given Komatsu. XD

(Come on, please don’t make me write all this stuff alone. Pleeeeease.)

Komatsu thinks Toriko isn’t aware it’s his birthday and is depressed. Turns out Toriko was just planning a surprise party. I’m thinking of doing this, but I’m not confident with my skills…

Considering I’m having a LOT of problems with my allergies tonight and I’m writing like crap as well … *shrugs* I don’t think I can do your prompt justice.

Hoooooowever … let’s make a deal. I would love to have someone out there writing with me since I feel alone and kinda stupid. Why don’t you write this prompt and give me another one — that way the fandom gets TWO fics, and I don’t have to feel so alone? XD Or I can take this prompt and prompt you? Either way. But DOOOO EEET! Your skills can’t be worse than what I just popped up as a drabble response!

The Kings trying to bake something for Komatsu’s birthday! With varying levels of success. Ugh, I’d take prompts myself but I’m about to leave for the evening. ;__;

The water was on fire.

Toriko wasn’t sure how he had accomplished this near-miraculous feat, but he couldn’t deny the fact that the flames were shooting up from the clear liquid in the pot.

Anyone up for a drabblethon? I did have a piece that I wanted to publish today, but it got really long. And I’m not sure it makes earth sense. <_<.

Soooooo … opening the journal for Toriko Drabble Prompts in celebration of a certain Chef’s birthday. *G* (I’ve actually never done this before, so … huh.) Wonder if anyone will take me up on the offer. *curious* Nooooo don’t! It’s a TRAAAAP!

Ps:pleasedon’tletmedothisalone.therehastobeotherfansouttherewho’lljoinme!

That Toriko is written by a guy presumably for young guys …

Shima-nevermetapunIdon’tlike-bukaro is on the job!

Not only do we have a character with a questionable name … there’s the … ahh … shape of things.

I think it’s the ring of hair at the top that is most disturbing. But wait! What are we going to call the ladies?!

Everybody sing with Parco now!

Though, seriously, to give him credit, Chiru isn’t designed with much to moge. XD And finally, we have Weenie man’s combo partner. Who could possibly combo with Weenie man? Take a wiiiiiild guess!

Yeaaaaah. Again with the suggestive hair. Stay classy, Toriko manga, Stay classy.

Noooot the first time for all these jokes, but dang I got distracted by them this time. This didn’t help …

At least you remembered us ladies, I guess. XD

Not much else to say, except well … bring on the flaming temple of Weenie. *mutters* If that’s not a metaphor for not sticking certain stuff into wrong places, I don’t know what is. Hey Toriko and Komatsu, make sure you practice safe … temple exploring! Yeah!

It ain’t easy to be in a small fandom when your other friends don’t enjoy it. XD

So everyone was drawing, including me (though really I can’t draw, but meh details) and then people go “huh … err … okay” when you go “Tadah?!” -_0.

Okay, okay, it also doesn’t help that I can’t draw people … and this is especially bad when I only have a mouse and microsoft paint to work with. So even if they knew Toriko, they wouldn’t know wtf I drew.

My poor Toriko cat. *cries*

So looooonely. Ah well, that’s what the internet is … that is, an infinite amount of keyboard smashing, each smash crying aloud, “why you no like me?!” XD.

*pokes fandom* *curious* I think I remember something about Komatsu’s b-day coming up. Anyone doing anything? (I actually have TIME this time around to do something, so … curious?)

Um, I just wanted to make this absolutely positively clear — no matter what anyone has to say about what I write … it’s all good. Comment away.

Even if it’s harsh criticism. (Um, not that anyone’s actually done that *blush*)

I will always try to think through what you say. I won’t always agree with you, but I will think about it.

And yes, I know it sounds like what your grade school teacher used to say, but there aren’t any dumb comments. If something’s confusing about a story, just tell me; most likely, I didn’t do my job as a writer correctly (since, well, writing is all about communicating.)

Even if that’s not the case, criticism and questions often get me thinking, and well … that’s what I need to be doing. So yep. Go ahead and fire away.

That said, much love, luck, and lollipops go to fuyuhana-san, celloowls, kingcarp and lotusblossomz2061! 

Heh, you guys are STILL hanging in there for the next chapter, huh? *is impressed* ALSO much love and hugs to fabelyn who gave me some wonderful comments and made me think. My message box is always open (Though erm, somedays it’ll take a LOT longer to get back to you. This week is a light work week.) X3
