Daniel: Johnny, it's no use pretending to be upset at us. No offense, but I can read every emotion you're feeling on your face. Johnny, growling: Can you read this one? Daniel: Yes! You're trying to be tough and angry, but deep down you're super impressed by what Sam and Robby accomplished today, and you're proud of your whole dojo for coming together. Johnny: Johnny: Damn, you're good.

All It Took Was A Twisted Ankle: Robby Keene x Reader Imagine
This is a request! If you would like to make a request take a look at (this post) for all of the characters I am currently writing for.
My Multi-fandom Masterlist
The request is for @gpiggy98
Robby Keene, he was a boy that just rubbed you the wrong way. You two were fire and ice, oil and water. You fought like cats and dogs and did everything in your power to piss the other one off. But at the same time, there was something that was so enthralling about him. It felt so strange how you could fight with him one minute and then find yourself swooning over his teasing smirk the next. So, you think that you would try to lessen the fights you had with him. But due to your conflicting emotions it somehow made you bicker with him even more.
People found your dynamic hilarious and sometimes painful to watch. Not because they found your bickering annoying, but because it was so obvious to everyone else around you that you two clearly had feelings for one another. But things are never as simple as they may seem to someone else. Certain people (aka you two) don’t exactly deal with emotions like that very well. You both complicated your emotions more than you should have. And at this point you thought it would take decades for you two to finally admit how you felt about one another
But, the universe works in funny ways... who would’ve thought that all took for you two to finally get together was a twisted ankle?
~~~
Skateboarding, it was one of the things you did that cleared your mind easily. There was just something about it that just relaxed you. You could rant or yell all you wanted to, but nothing made you more calm than skateboarding. You never knew why but you weren’t going to complain. It was a moment in your day that just cleared you head. You didn’t have to worry about school, or troubles that plagued your mind, or... Rob-
“You follow me where ever I go Y/N?” You heard an all too familiar voice ask nearby.
You were on the edge of one of the steep ramps about ready to dismount off of it when you heard his voice. Your head whipped toward the sound of his voice. There he stood looking over at you with his usual jeering and teasing expression toward you.
“I was here first Keene, it looks like you’re the one following me.” You huff out in annoyance.
He laughed at my already annoyed stated. “Whoa calm down Y/N, are you really getting angry already? I really have an affect on you I guess.”
You scoffed at his inflated ego (even though he technically was right about the affect he has over you.)
“Yeah you do have an affect on me, but it’s not a good one!”
“Sure it isn’t a good one Y/N, sure it isn’t.” His voice was filled with humor, the smirk he sent my way made my breath stutter for a split second.
"Ugh, you are such a-” You began to rant breathlessly.
Your brain seemed to have forgotten that you were resting on the edge of the ramp. Your foot that rested on the front of the skateboard put a bit too much pressure onto it. You were suddenly sent down the ramp unexpectedly making you lose your balance. You felt my ankle tense and twist painfully as you landed onto the concrete.
“Oh fuck, are you okay Y/N?” You heard Robby asked from above the ramp. You weren’t use to hearing him talk to me in such a concerned way.
“What do you think?” You spat out, glaring up at him while gripping my ankle. You saw Robby carefully lower himself down to the bottom of the ramp.
“Here let me help you out.”
Your skin felt as though a bolt of electricity traveled through it when he touched me. You brushed his hands off not knowing how to react.
“Hey I’m trying to help Y/N, relax.”
You couldn’t even look him in the eyes as he helped me up. Any words or reactions I had before just melted away. I focused my sights on my ankle that was now bruising and began to swell slightly.
“Just sit here for a second, it’ll be a bad idea to walk on it right now.”
“Okay.” Is all you could mutter.
You saw Robby’s shadow lean forward, you could tell he was looking at me.
“You sure had a lot to say before, I figured you would be ripping my head off by now.” Robby said, a laugh followed his sentence.
“I guess you’re getting lucky today.” You reply still not looking over at him.
“You’re wrong about that, I like how fiery you get because of me.” He admitted bluntly, taking you aback.
“Shut up.” You say with a nervous laugh. You locked eyes for a split second before your shot back down to your ankle. You began to feel your face heat up due to the situation that you were in.
“What? Are you getting flustered because of me?” He asked teasingly.
“No.” You say with a scoff.
“Then look me in the eyes then and say it. Say that you are not getting flustered because of me”
You slowly turned your head to look at him. As much as you wanted to utter the words he wanted you to speak you couldn’t. The more you looked into his eyes the more the tension and anger you felt just seemed to melt away. All you could do was sit there and bite back a nervous smile.
“I can’t.” You speak up after a bit.
“Why not?” He asked, his tone cocky and all knowing.
“Because I’d be lying.” You admit bashfully.
He let out a laugh making you fight the urge to roll your eyes.
“You’re still annoying though.” You added jokingly, it didn’t damper his mood at all.
“But that’s one of things you like about me right?” He asked cooly.
“I guess so.”
“I knew it.” He said confidently.
A idea suddenly sprang into your head, you knew exactly what would bring him back down to Earth.
“Hey Robby?”
“Yeah?” He asked turning his head back to you. As soon as his head faced yours you pulled him in for a shocking kiss. He didn’t know how to react at first, he felt frozen and stiff. Much like how you felt earlier. He eventually got over his shock and finally began to react to the kiss. You both pull back slightly breathless, Robby’s face was stunned, his eyes slightly widened in shock.
You gave him a teasing smirk at his reaction before uttering.
“I guess I know how to shut you up too.”
Cobra Kai headcanons
Not x reader. Just general headcanons I have for the main characters. Will probably do a part 2 for the adults and side characters
Tw for quite a bit of swearing.
Miguel:
The cursed child craves raisin cookies
Like. He just? Eats them? For fun???
This boy gets lost taking the trash out.
His sense of direction is so bad it makes his GPS cry
Kicks ass at arcade games like pinball or pacman
Could fall asleep in the bed of a moving truck he doesn't care. When he's tired, he. is. tired.
i was not expecting the kiaz content but oh my god the premise is just TOO GOOD. 'how could you take me down to mexico and not mention that we were coming to get miguel?' 'we're not friends' 'we never will be'
this screams enemies to friends to lovers + roadtrip au to me. robby reluctantly helping johnny to find miguel because he does want to patch things up with his dad, robby wondering why the hell he even bothered once they find him because how could he ever forget for a second that the guy is the world's biggest asshole, robby and miguel being outright belligerent at the beginning of the trip back home, them bargaining to be just baseline civil for johnny's sake because he keeps sending them these miserable looks when they keep hating on each other, that gradually developing into them getting closer while the miles go by. of course there's going to be at least a motel where there's only one bed and a street fight with the resulting gently cleaning of each other wounds under the neon lightning of a cramped bathroom and deep talks because they do have more in common than they ever thought they would after all. and then all these Moments keep happening and will they won't they and maybe they do kiss the night before getting back and then they're home back to real life and was the connection ever even real or everything was just magnified by the liminal-space quality of a roadtrip? because it's them there would be angst born out of some big miscommunication mixed with carried over guilt over what happened at the school and worry about johnny's opinion. but they do figure it out eventually

The Hypocrisy of Miyagi-Do
Finished all of Cobra Kai season 4 in one sitting and so spoilers ahead.
Also, this is a longer one.
Obviously this show is great and everything about it is great, but I want to bring attention to the disproportionate way it favours the LaRussos and Miyagi-Do.
In the original Karate Kid, Cobra Kai was clearly evil. More than that though, it was kind of trash. It was good against anyone who didn’t know any proper karate, sure, but the moment Daniel learned how to defend himself, he became top dog. Even more than that though, its philosophy of “strike first, strike hard, no mercy” was clearly meant to incite violence and hatred. When Johnny restarts Cobra Kai in season 1, all this sort of came back, but with a twist.
Cobra Kai is confidence and outer projections of strength. While Johnny took an aggressive approach to everything in his life and, indeed, when starting Cobra Kai again, it developed into something else. It would be wrong to say Cobra Kai didn’t start breeding bullies again, but it instilled a sense of confidence that characters like Aisha, Miguel and Eli didn’t have before. Even as Johnny softened up, he began dissuading his students from being little monsters. It was Daniel and his refusal to let go of the past that kept Cobra Kai festering in villainy. By the time Kreese came on board, it was just right for corruption.
To bring it back to Daniel: as stuck as Johnny is on the past, Daniel is as well. Johnny is bitter because his past was a mess while Daniel only seems to have gotten over it because everything went right for him. You can tell that the two are different sides of the same coin when things don’t go Daniel’s way. He throws his power and influence around to harass Johnny despite the former being no threat to him.
The LaRussos are just the worst people and that is a hill I will die on. Starting with Daniel, he is as stubborn as Johnny if not more considering that he is used to getting his way. Several of Johnny’s relapses into his old self are either because of Daniel’s direct harassment or his refusal to consider how something would affect Johnny. I keep remembering how, in season 2, Johnny takes care of Sam after she drinks herself stupid and Daniel’s first reaction is to trash Johnny’s apartment (I mean, it was Johnny that kicked him into the tv, but still). Daniel has a tendency to get aggressive first, but he gets off scot free because he never actually throws the first punch, he just antagonizes until someone does.
Sam is the worst of the family. She has an entitlement that makes most royal heirs tell her to chill out. In season 4, she was at her absolute worst and I give her no breaks whatsoever. If I’m not mistaken, she still hasn’t even apologized to Johnny for Yasmin wrecking his car. Sam gets angry and, like Daniel, wields whatever power she has over people like a warhammer then screams bloody murder when they actually strike back. The way she treated Tori this season was way out of line even without her knowing what was going on in Tori’s life. Several times Tori was just minding her own business when Sam went out of her way to antagonize her. While I also blame Miguel for doing Tori dirty, Sam had a hand in it and yet she tries to spin it as if Tori was the villain.
Amanda, I used to think, was the reasonable one. She was the one telling Daniel to stop messing around and focus on his actual job. Even when she relented, it was less about actually getting on board with karate and just knowing that she couldn’t stop him so it was a waste of both their times to try. All that went out the window in season 4 when she went out of her way to threaten a child. I get it, Tori hurt Sam, cool, but there was no reason to go to this girl’s workplace to make a scene. I can’t say Tori would have listened otherwise, but maybe meeting her outside of work. Or actually trying to figure out why. Or even just waiting for Tori to get violent first. But no, she went into this child’s workplace guns blazing and then went about her day when Tori got fired.
Not much to say about Anthony, but he’s a little shit. That is all.
Now, the show villainizes Cobra Kai (I group Eagle Fang in there too as it’s the same style) and everyone associated with it. I have mixed feelings on how this is portrayed because, on the one hand, yes, John Kreese might actually be Lucifer himself and Terry Silver is the war god Ares, but there is some good in Cobra Kai that I’d touched on earlier.
Cobra Kai is about strength and, in the wrong hands, it’s a tool for bullying and destruction, but, in season 4, the Cobra Kais were all pretty happy just being themselves. We don’t spend much time in the high school this season, but Kyler seems to almost always be having a party with his Cobra Kai friends and not harassing the other students. Granted, he could do both, we never actually see this while we do see Miyagi-Do students showing unnecessary aggression to those they don’t like such as Kenny. Tori and Robby, while they set out initially to be a nuisance to Sam and Miguel, decide on their own that they’d rather just be in each others company than bother with their exes. It was those exes that started a fight and even post-fight left seething while Robby and Tori were just happy to be together enjoying normalcy for once.
Say what you will about John Kreese (I mean, I just called him the devil) but he actually seems to care about his less fortunate students. In as much as it helps him somehow. Whatever his rationale, he gave Robby a place to stay and took care of Tori’s abusive landlord. It was Daniel and Amanda who blamed and judged these kids for circumstances beyond their control before doubling back once the circumstances were revealed to them. Kreese went looking for the problem and helped in the ways he knew how. Granted, these are short term solutions. Threatening to cut off a landlord’s willy and letting a homeless kid stay in a warehouse isn’t going to do much for these kids’ futures (whom Kreese seems to think is going to be spent practicing karate with him until the moon splinters), but it is leagues better than what Daniel and his family are doing.
In conclusion, Miyagi-Do is toxic. No hate to Mr. Miyagi himself though. In fact, Miyagi-Do worked for him and the lessons he wanted to impart onto Daniel. The very fact that he insisted that Daniel find his own way meant that he didn’t intend of Daniel to form a cult-like reverence of him.
Daniel might preach peace, but his students and his family and even himself show that he has no interest in a non-violent scenario, just one where he always wins. As a consequence to this dissonance, Johnny has to be made to be even more unreasonable. When Sam and Miguel picked a fight and then ran away, he almost seemed upset at the fact that they picked a fight to begin with, but then doubled down on the idea that it was the running away that was the problem.
