SPIT YOUR SHIT🗣️‼️

SPIT YOUR SHIT🗣️‼️

The thing about Cobra Kai that’s so unfortunate is that it’s not a character focused show.

What I mean is, I think the writers approach things from a place of, ‘I would like X to happen, so we will make the characters get there no matter what.’ Rather than from a place of, ‘What would the characters do if X happened?’

And, yeah, some cool stuff happens in Cobra Kai, but so often at the expense of characterization. And in the process of getting to a certain place they leave no time to really explore these cool characters that they’ve made.

So many of these characters have such deep traumas and insights, but the audience never gets to see anything come of them. It’s all just left in the background.

And, possibly even worse, you end up with these 2 dimensional characters like Zara and Kwon who are just doing bad shit for the sake of doing bad shit (and I’m not even gonna touch on the racism aspect-that’s its own post). I’m not saying every antagonist needs a redemption arc, but the things they’re doing should make sense, especially if you’re going to kill one of them off. Like, if they had done ANYTHING to show that had Kwon had a different mentor things could have been different, that would have hit HARD. But instead the only real sadness is because he was a kid and Kreese brought the knife. It doesn’t hit the way it could have because Kwon was more plot device than character. He should have been a parallel to characters like Hawk and Kenny. Like, this is what they could have been had they not had the support they did to get them out of Cobra Kai. This is what happens when you let hatred lead you. Instead, asshole kid got stabbed 🤷‍♀️

And it’s just so unsatisfying to have all of these characters and never get to see the things they’ve been through get unpacked in a meaningful way.

It’s always episodes worth of conflict that they decide to gloss over in one line to get to the next thing. And it’s so underwhelming. You have these great moments of building only to have the world’s most pathetic climax.

Cobra Kai has great characters with interesting backgrounds if they’d ever follow through with the effects of those things.

Simply Miraculous REWRITE

That's right, y'all, I rewrote (the first two episodes of) my old Simply Miraculous fic. As I explain in the note, I noticed a lot of inconsistencies and aspects I simply was not satisfied with. So, I just did it again. The format will be largely changed, I'll be doing important episodes as individual works and others as shorts, and I'll be throwing in some original episode ideas as well.

I managed to write 7 chapters out of the first two episodes, so I hope everyone likes it.

I've always had the headcanon that Miguel and Robby have the Cain and Abel instinct turned up to 11 until somebody tries something with either of them, then it's a temporary alliance to bully the mf who built up the stones to do that

Miguel : Robby you suck

Some random : yeah you suck!

Miguel : kys??? Who tf was talking to you??? I’ll kill you??? That’s my best friend ???? My literal brother????

Came up with more lyrics for an upcoming song in Cobra Kai The Musical, try to guess who’s singing them

Is this the end of an era?

Is this the end of my spark?

Uncertainty plagues, whatever remains

And creeps through the cracks on my heart

Is this the start of new age

Is this the beginning of something new?

And does it start with me walking away from you?

Rewatching School Spirits Season 1 and I just realized there’s like, three unnamed characters in the support circle 😭

Where did they go? Did they just fuck off somehow?

Samtory. The ship I accidentally converted myself to.

At first I thought it was just gay for the sake of gay, which, I had no problem with but personally it wasn’t for me.

And then I started thinking about it as a joke, cooking up several comedic situations that revolved around Sam being obsessed with Tory and that obsessing kind of turning into lust.

And then I realized that’s just canon lmao

Jokes aside, it’s genuinely a great ship, boosted by the fact that since they’re no longer trying to kill each other, I actually know what their platonic dynamic is like.

This ship shares a lot of similarities dynamic-wise with Narusasu. Rivals so deep into the rivalry that they start making out.

Anyways, yeah, my thoughts on this ship are super unorganized but here they are. 10/10 ship

Crazy how a doc can go from 2 pages to 37 in three days because of a random surge of midnight motivation

Ah, Robmetri. My two favorite male characters dating each other. It’s a pretty alright ship, especially when you realize how snarky both of them can be. Well, Demetri’s more bitchy than snarky but still.

I think the most likely period for this to actually happen would be in Season 2, when they start training together and everything’s relatively lax. Robby comforts Dem over the heartbreak of Hawk’s turn, they develop a deeper friendship than in canon and that naturally evolves into a relationship, yada yada.

The FUNNIEST period for this to happen though is in Season 3, after Robby gets released instead of going straight to Cobra Kai he decides he needs somewhere else to stay, so he goes to Demetri because you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take. Demetri lets him crash and suddenly, he has an emo guard dog living in his house. Eventually it evolves into a relationship from there, etc etc.

If I were to write this ship into the show, it’d be a mix of both scenarios.

But forgetting the hypothetical execution for a moment, the ship itself is good. Their dynamic would be cute and I feel like they could have common ground over a lot of things. Like, I headcanon Robby as a horror fan so him and Demetri could bond over horror games and the scarier episodes of Doctor Who (like that one with the monsters that melt people into the walls and floor).

Overall, a solid 8/10 ship
