"There are three things that make a champion. The three D's. Desire. Devotion. And discipline. The first two I can't give you. The last one I can, but you have to be willing to receive it." --Terry Silver

They had to know this sounded incredibly sexual, right? There's no way they didn't know what they were doing.

[mindlessbehavior2011]

What's with so many people in the Cobra Kai fandom saying Daniel is petty/holds grudges? Obviously he's made a lot of mistakes and isn't perfect by any means, but saying he holds grudges is weird.

He had more or less forgiven Johnny and only started their rivalry again when Johnny started Cobra Kai. As soon as Chozen showed him he had changed, Daniel forgave him. The minute he found out Mike wasn't working for Silver, he had no problem with him. And honestly, even if he decided not to forgive them, that would be reasonable. Why does he owe forgiveness to people who tried to kill him??

The only people he didn't forgive were Kreese and Silver because they were grown ass adults that terrorized him as a child for no reason. People are really out here saying with full confidence that he should have just accepted Terry's apology. Miss me with that bullshit.

I hate how so much of the discourse around Daniel is just straight up victim blaming. Big yikes.

"I watch The Karate Kid II for the plot"

The plot:

Watching CK S3: idk kids breaking into a house and destroying property is a bit much

Watching CK S5: yaaaas old men fighting each other with katanas and sais in a fountain is everything i ever wanted

I know we talk a lot about how hot 1993 Lawrusso would be because of NINY!Ralph and Shootfighter!Billy, but can we please take a moment to admire 1993 DAMIKO????

This is Ralph from NINY (obviously) and Tamlyn from Joy Luck Club.

Daniel/Amanda!

I think they're so adorable together! Daniel needs her as the voice of reason in his life and I think he's a good support system for her as well. I really, really want the writers to give us a Daniel/Amanda origin story!

ooh, Silverusso, Damiko, Johnny/Bobby & Lawrusso

Silverusso:

I'm so conflicted about Silverusso tbh. One one hand, it's very morally objectionable to me since Silver is an older man who manipulated and abused a minor/very young person, so shipping them makes me uncomfortable. But on the other hand, the idea of Daniel having been in an unhealthy, traumatic romantic/sexual relationship with someone when he was young makes for a really fascinating story and provides a lot of interesting insights into why he acts the way he does in the future. Also, I'm a hoe and I love Silverusso smut because of the D/s dynamic going on so...

Damiko:

I truly love Damiko so much. They connect on such a deep level and seem like an extension of Mr. Miyagi and Yukie. They are 100% my favorite canon ship.

Johnny/Bobby:

I have nothing against this ship at all, but I like them as friends and don't really see them as anything else. I like the dynamic of Bobby being the reasonable friend trying to curb Johnny's impulsiveness.

Lawrusso:

Love them! Lawrusso needs to be canon because the sexual tension between them is SO APPARENT ALL THE TIME. Also Lawrusso fics are my favorite.

wake up gang a new ship bingo dropped, anyway send me a pairing and I’ll answer!

[mindlessbehavior2011]

Would love to hear you wax on about lawrusso &/or any other characters or ships you've been feeling lately. Also as a toxic multishipper, what's your favorite tongue-in-cheek rando pairing?

Thank you for the question! In terms of Lawrusso, my favorite era is post-TKK/when they're in their 20s. I just graduated college so I find that time period pretty relatable (especially the job search grind 😭). I also really like reading anything where they're both still trying to process trauma from their pasts and need to work through it together. That's what my current WIP kinda focuses on, so it's been on my mind a lot lately.

I'm also really into Daniel/Kumiko (definitely my favorite canon ship). I have a fic in mind about them, but I'm having major writer's block on it unfortunately, so idk when I'll actually end up posting anything. I also read Silverusso stuff sometimes, but it's pretty much a guilty pleasure ship that I could never see myself writing.

Mr Miyagi and Daniel + stages in their relationship

[mindlessbehavior2011]

I know I usually only post fandom stuff here, but I've been thinking about how white kids from high school were incredibly racist to me and I really didn't have the ability to do anything about it back then.

And I was kind of excited about seeing them at a high school reunion and stunting on them because I was assuming karma would make them miserable in the future, but then I paused for a moment and realized that they're all probably fine because they're white people and racist white people rarely face consequences 🙃

We hate to see it.
