#tkk 3

Okey I'm starting to think in every Karate Kid generation there's going to be a rivals-to-lovers duo the fandom is going to ship-

[disbear]

with Silverusso, it's the intimacy of the trauma for me. The way Daniel is utterly incapable of honestly explaining what he went through in KK3 to any of his loved ones - he always twists it and makes it vague and places the blame on himself just becoming 'an angry kid' and joining Cobra Kai. He keeps warning everyone about evil and treacherous Silver is but it just makes him look crazy because he can't even open up to his own wife about the specifics of WHAT SILVER DID TO HIM. Jessica has to be the one to do that, in the end.

But when he's alone with Silver? He's blunt. He speaks the truth. 'You tortured me.' He can show the scars at last because Silver's the one who put them there. guys it's so fucked up I just.

YOU 🤨🫵 #2 for Ali, Kumiko, and Jessica EACH. Feminism Moment

Oh gee whiz let me get into something more comfortable (pulls on a scratchy grandma sweater with the lesbian flag)

For #2, Favorite canon thing about (these) character(s):

So for Ali, my favorite thing is her fire. And yeah, that can be a classic dudebro thing to say like "she's feisty 😍", but I don't really mean that. Ali speaks her mind and steps in when things aren't fair and she's not afraid to handle it herself, despite being taught by her bougie ass parents that she should only be a quiet, pretty bargaining chip. She hits Johnny when he's an ass (and in the middle of a country club!) and she criticizes her own background (even if she still can't quite extricate herself from a place of privilege). She all around has a lot more personality and agency than most 80s love interests. Another thing I just have to mention is as a kid I wished I was Daniel so bad. That was for gender reasons but also for lesbian reasons - I LOVE YOU, ALI MILLS

For Kumiko, my favorite thing is her unbreakable curiosity and lust for life. She dreams of being a dancer and she constantly strives to teach herself and find joy in her interests even when she is almost sure her dream will never come true. She expresses genuine interest in Daniel despite his adorable hyperactive rambling in his unfamiliar diction (and yes, this could simply be because she is a Love Interest - but I adore her and Daniel together because they are both so curious and open-minded). She finds wonder in her village and showing Daniel the beauty of her home even when U.S. imperialism threatens said home and she has every right to want to shelter it and herself. She teaches kids, has a new experience with them every time! She is so positively curious and I love her!!!

For Jessica, my favorite thing movie wise is the fact she didn't end up a love interest - not really. That was so refreshing, her simply being allowed to just be Daniel's friend and nothing more. But actually about her is her loyalty. If I was in Jessica's shoes, not even from this city and only here temporarily, I would not spend so much time and effort with a guy in such a wack situation. And again, since these are 80s young women written by men for men, this might simply be because Daniel is the Special Male Character, and she has to be into whatever he's got going on. But I like to think this is just who Jessica is. She's an athlete, a hiker! She's an artist! She commits and doesn't quit! She's loyal and she's got your back!
