if you still want tkk art suggestions (lawrusso stuff bc im obsessed w/ them)

-them dancing (we’ve seen Daniel do whatever type that was in tkk2 and Johnny was probably forced to learn some formal one bc of the country club or whatever it’s called)

-golf&stuff shenanigans (arcade things, laser tag, Photo Booth, actual golfing, winning prizes, etc)

-I think you mentioned something w/ weed and drawing them so you could do that???

i fear they would have been that couple i find myself rolling my eyes at every now and then with how publicly smitten they are. get a room.

i have so many things i want to say about how the thing… the thing about Miyagi and Daniel is that it was never supposed to be about teaching Daniel to fight- Until the confrontation next to the chain fence, Daniel doesn’t even know he knows karate, and Miyagi wasn’t planning on teaching him.

So, sure the movie is a sports movie and it ends with a fight and it’s very simple and reassuring and all that. There’s this message about proving that you can fight back. The underdog can win. And it is there, and it’s fine. Im not saying it isn’t, but…

But in between that structure, there’s a relationship that is based around an act of unconditional kindness. That’s how it’s starts. The first thing Mr Miyagi does for Daniel is fix his bike. After the the OG cobras have wrecked it and after Daniel has his emotional breakdown, Mr Miyagi goes and says: i’m going to fix this.

He’s not expecting anything in return. Maybe some company but. It’s still all about love. And then Daniel goes down to say thanks and they just. Have a quiet moment together. There’s the metaphor of the bonsais and thinking about who you want to be, which is part if the point. But it’s also just a moment where Daniel gets to be calm. The whole time he has been going from painful moment to painful moment, this is like.  It’s like. I wish I had the word or the metaphor for this. Es como el sol filtrandose por la ventana? 

And in that sense, the movie is  about the value of unconditional kindness in the face of unrelenting pain and loneliness. That’s the point of the teacher-student thing. He’s leading by example. he’s saying this is possible, even if its not always what you encounter. You don’t necessarily have to stand on your own, earn your place, show no fear. It is possible for people to care for each other without asking anything in return. it is possible. It is!

Whenever I hear "It's Not Over" by Daughtry, I can't help but think of Johnny. The song just fits him so well.

cat and puppy ㅋㅋ

but honestly, I think Johnny's more like a tiger.

Only somebody like Daniel LaRusso could see the guy who's been tormenting him all year almost immediately beat somebody in a fight and roll his eyes

My love letter for The Karate Kid (1984) film ❤

[zingaplanet]

Listen, the reason Cobra Kai is the greatest sequel tv show ever is because it's a fun-ass mockery of some stupid karate rivalry in high school that they made way too big a deal out of but also made fun that they actually made a big a deal out of, and it makes no sense and complete sense because sometimes real life sucks and if a silly martial arts movie that you watched (or lived through) in high school is the biggest thing that ever meant something in your life because it reminded you of youth, your childhood dreams, old friends, first loves and some of the best goddamn summer parties you've ever been in, then who's to tell you these things don't matter?

Growing up is realising that what matters is whatever the hell you want to matter, and life isn't that big of a deal, so take it easy and enjoy the goddamn ride.

Oh also because everything could've been solved in 10 mins if they'd just bone.
