Cobra Kai + Headlines (3/?)

Saw someone saying Miguel was villainizing Robby in his Stanford essay by writing about what happened and I wanted to talk about it because I honestly don’t think that makes any sense.

Most people will agree that Robby didn’t mean to kick Miguel over the balcony, it was obviously an accident and that is important context that matters in the story.

However Miguel still got kicked over a balcony because of Robby and was paralyzed and had to relearn to walk and experienced a lot of trauma as a result of Robby’s actions.

Miguel’s trauma doesn’t go away because it was an accident and it’s a totally reasonable thing to write a college essay about. It’s also totally fair for Robby to feel guilty and upset at the reminder of what happened. But Robby’s trauma doesn’t mean Miguel isn’t allowed to talk about what he went through, Miguel can forgive Robby and still acknowledge that it was a real thing he went through that impacted him. Just like Robby would be totally justified in still struggling with some of the things Miguel did to him in the earlier seasons.

And either way in the scene Miguel does feel bad for bringing up something that hurts Robby and immediately offers to change his name which probably isn’t what Robby’s upset about but Miguel tries to make him more comfortable anyway.

In fact I think their dynamic at this point is shockingly healthy for Cobra Kai, they’ve talked about it and are actually building a respectful relationship that doesn’t just ignore what they’ve done to each other. Sure Johnny’s attempts at helping were horrible and I would’ve loved to see more in depth conversations between them but overall for the kind of show it is I think this season has really demonstrated a sweet relationship between them.

returning to this blog very briefly to say: same group dynamic

No because I never asked for cash name origin story and I would like to go back to 2.5 seconds ago when I didn’t know that

Stop it, stop it! You can't keep hurting each other forever. Enough! Do you realize how stupid this is?

Don't kill yourself, please.

If you’re suffering from depression and are looking for a sign to not go through with ending your life, this is it. This is the sign. We care.

If you see this on your dash, reblog it. You could save a life.

to every critic who claims that the Uglies cast is too attractive to be playing the "ugly" characters and it doesn't make sense for them to calling themselves ugly for having completely normal facial features:

red is to spider-man as pink is to miles, in that pink is the color of: self-expression, confidence, compassion. if you side with miles, if you want to support his growth, you're going to be in pink

that being said...a pink robe can be removed, and pink hairdye can be washed out
