And I think to myself, what a wonderful world

I think I wouldn’t be so worked up over the current writing!fail if I actually had another good idea to write instead of the stupid crack idea that came up while I was cursing the long story … something about Ichiryuu testing Komatsu for “hands” of his four  sons. You know, the old tried and true storyline of every romcom … the asking the father for the hand of your future “bride”. Even if in this case, the brides are testosterone filled males with muscles bigger than your entire body.

I will admit, I snickered for about five minutes thinking about it. How does one ask the head president of the IGO for permission to “combo with” the four boys he raised as sons (even if we’re not going the romantic route and Komatsu’s just really asking for a platonic gourmet partnership?)  The idea of Ichiryuu as the overprotective papa wolf also is a bit snerk-worthy.

(Canon-wise, though, this doesn’t work — Toriko’s already taking his partner home to see daddy and get his approval at least once. XD)

The idea of Komatsu stumbling through asking for Ichiryuu’s permission then boggling at how he could possibly prove himself worthy really made me giggle however. (Yes, there’s something wrong with me). 

Then … cold hard reality set in. What in the hell could Komatsu do to prove he’s worthy of not one, not two, but all of Ichiryuu’s boys? It kinda fell apart then, and I kinda felt ashamed. XD I can’t write it. I just can’t.

YEAH. THAT IS A KEEPER, BRAIN! *sighs* Dude, I’ve been officially active in the Toriko fandom for what? Three days? And already this happens, and I shall be booted back out on my ass again. I am more mature than this, I swear. Where is this ridiculous crack coming from anyway?! I’m usually more sane than this, and it sounds like something I’d write back on a sugar high when I was in middle school. *Cries*

Maybe I can convince my brain to throw up writing ideas in my old fandoms instead of Toriko. My friends haven’t had me plague them for a while now. All this obsessing over an eating manga can’t be good. *headclutches*

Sometimes when I’m writing something really really long, there will come several points in the narrative when the story wants to branch two ways.

Sometimes I follow the wrong rabbit hole down. Guess what just happened?! *stares at the story, exasperated* That means I have to backtrack to the point where it branched and try again. It ends up in the same place, but arrrrrrrrgh! This completely ruins the urge to write!

Most of the time, I can figure out that I’ve taken a wrong turn a few pages in. For example,  prior to this current u-turn, I went about three or so pages and didn’t lose more than 2,000 words or so. 

Not this time. Why did the story have to wait EIGHT PAGES and more than 6,500 words to tell me “oops, wait, sorry, don’t past GO, don’t collect the 200 smackeroos, just get your ass back to the nearest save point and TRY AGAIN TROLOLOLOL!”

I know I have to do it, because yes, the story will be better for it, but it still makes me rather grumpy. GRRRRR.

So right now I’m sick of writing that @$#!@$ story, so does anyone have any prompts? In the mood I’m in, I can’t write porn (well, okay, honestly speaking, I can’t write porn when I’m in a great mood either) and I’m in the mood for things to be beaten up, so yeah, give me something to hit. :)

Wait, I’m typing  as if someone actually reading this blog. ARRRGH. I’m just going to be stuck with this neverending story, aren’t I? DEAR JEEBUS!
