The Blanket Scenario

Hehehehehehehe. Today is a good day. I'm in a good mood and I've thought of an extra special topic to speak on today (hehehehehehehehe) - ahem - the blanket scenario. I'll bet you're wondering what the blanket scenario is. Well, wonder not. Today I will talk about the two most obvious romantic scenarios. Maybe I'll do more later, but for now - only these two.

• The Blanket Scenario
• The Alley Scenario

First off - The Blanket Scenario

This is when the main boy and the main girl somehow end up stuck in closed space (a place they cannot leave) with no heat and ... only ONE BLANKET. There are a zillion of these on fanfiction.net for every genre. But since it has been pointed out to me - this scenario appears everywhere. It's really disgusting. The other day I was reading a cheesy little romance novel and it showed up there. I was lying on my back flapping the cover back and forth like it was a birdy and seriously contamplating chucking it out the window. I would have been setting it free, right? I've also seen it in many MANY mangas. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like this situation has been used so many times that it's hard not to wonder exactly what satisfaction the author got out of writing something so ... ordinary.

Second off - The Alley Scenario

I'm a little more forgiving about the alley scenario. I wonder why. It's probably just because I think that the essense of it is more appealing. This is when our main girl is walking alone down an alley at night. As she's walking she's attacked by thugs. Then all of a sudden a mysterious shadowy male character appears out of nowhere and kicks the crap out of every last one of them. She's accidentally knocked unconscious, so she can't thank him or get up and leave. Instead, he doesn't know her and so he does the only reason able thing ~_^ ... he takes her home with him. Why that makes sense is beyond me. Later, she wakes up at his home and the mystery of the person who saved her is half way revealed. We still don't know why she's somehow in different clothing and why it was necessary to change her out of her clothes. This is what bugs me the most about this scenario. There is almost never a legitamate reason to change her clothing. I guess it adds a creepy demension to it that women, who are not me, find appealing.

Okay, that was sorta fun. I've been thinking of shutting down this blog and just doing Wild Moon Swings. I think I'm getting too big for my breeches.
