I read denial as Daniel...

Cobra kai has taken way too much space in my brain

the five stages of grief: writer's edition

denial: "this draft is amazing. no need for edits. it’s practically perfect as is." you’re so confident that you close the document for the day, smiling like you’ve just discovered the next great american novel (or swedish, or british, whatever). plot hole? who is she?

anger: "why did i ever think this was good? this is garbage. i am garbage. my characters are flat, my dialogue is cringe, and my prose sounds like a robot swallowed a thesaurus and threw up on the page." rage-quit the doc and go aggressively scroll pinterest for "writing inspiration" that you will never use.

bargaining: "if i fix this one scene, the whole thing will click into place. i just need to write one more subplot, maybe five more chapters, a quick rewrite of the entire ending, and then it'll be fine. totally manageable." queue up 17 youtube videos on "how to fix your plot" that you play in the background while staring at your ceiling.

depression: "i will never finish this book. it’s doomed. i’m doomed. why do i even write? who let me have ideas?!" lay dramatically on your bed, considering taking up knitting or rock collecting instead. cry a little over how your characters deserve a better writer.

acceptance: "this is the best i can do right now, and that’s okay. i’ll take a break, come back with fresh eyes, and remember why i love this stupid, broken story." suddenly, your MC whispers something brilliant, and you're like wait… maybe i'm a genius after all.

and the cycle begins again. writing is a joy.

I don't even know which one I want to pull on, this event will be the death of me (in a good way, hopefully)

Cultural Anatomy: Kyoshi Warrior Weapons

Tessen

The Kyoshi Warriors’ trademark war fans are formally known as tessen (鉄扇), which translates literally to “iron fans”. They were most famously used by samurai to fend off swords, throwing knives, and poisoned darts. Like a sword, the tessen could be dual-wielded to parry with one hand and attack with the other. I think in a 1-on-1 fight, Mai would probably have a lot of trouble fighting Suki.

Katana

Does the katana even need an introduction on the internet? Oh well, here’s the Wikipedia description: “A katana (刀) is a Japanese sword characterized by a curved, single-edged blade with a circular or squared guard and long grip to accommodate two hands.” Katana are pretty iconic to Japan, particularly samurai, so it’s not surprising that all of the Kyoshi Warriors wield them.

all robby needed was some actual words of affirmation and for someone to believe in him for him to actually focus.

at the start, EVERYONE clocks that robby might not be okay. miguel says ‘robby is gonna be fine’ ,, demetri responds with ‘i wouldn’t be fine’ and shit he’s right because i wouldn’t be fine either. i’d be in a shambles 🙁

in the hotel room, where they’re yapping about robby with no shame knowing he’s in the room WITH them just taking a shower and talking about his performance. they KNOW what the issue is.

but noooo instead of being good friends / teammates we’re gonna shit talk him, and not be there for him.

it was OBVIOUS what the issue was, LIKE SEE-THROUGH, GLASS, VERY CLEAR. like after watching that shit you can’t tell me that people in miyagi do actually gaf about him. poor dude was obviously not okay and struggling but instead, people taking slick ass jabs at him, yapping and bitching and moaning about a captain title.. instead of simply being there for him.

to further emphasise on that let’s talk about bar scene.. robby in that bar, sam left. but his team WAS there. you’re telling me that they all just left knowing damn well robby still in that fucking bar drinking up a storm. more so, how could they NOT know?? and people expect me to believe they CARE?

maybe in another universe, not this one.

i said this before but it took miguel way too long to apologise to robby + ask what’s wrong. robby just got done dirty over and over again in this part.

i was expecting robby to be unbalanced becasue of tory, i was thinking it would’ve happened maybe twice? but it was literally annoying continuous. it pissed me off actually.

like no one believes in him, girlfriend put him on break, gets SA’d, doing terribly in fights, what the fuck man?

i was gonna add johnny in this and say that johnny should’ve picked up on it but he cares more about devon, miguel than his actual son.

FATHER OF THE YEAR !! #whatajoke

part 2 did robby keene incredibly dirty. part 3, is kinda looking promised.. i saw that clip of robby kicking axel in: inside the dojo on netflix 👀

please ck writers do this one thing and maybe robby keene win🙏

edit: miguel was not giving him tough love. HE WAS BEING AN ASSHOLE! get off miguel dick for ONCE and call out bad behaviour when you see it. if anything, miguel making him doubt if he deserves to be captain on top of kwon fucking with him AND him being unbalanced becasue of tory..

miguel might’ve just made shit WORSE. y’all it’s a full time job defending robby keene im telling you. im TIRED 😞😞

Lee form the tea shop!

I think Katara's many, many moments of childish immaturity that come from her literally being a child (like lashing out at Aang for picking up waterbending well or directly mocking Toph for being blind and unable to admire the stars or telling Sokka that he never truly loved their mom), would get less backlash from the fandom if fans didn't constantly adultify her. People pretend that Katara was ever actually the mature adult they portray her as or project onto her, and then get annoyed because there are so many instances of her being the confused little kid that it already established she still was from the very beginning.

Blows my mind how the writer of cobra kai hayden had said that there was no sexaual assault like um no he couldn't consent so shut the fuck up

So did anyone else see the cobra kai s6 part 3 spoilers or just me?

I remember reading a dokja x yoo jonghyuk

Dokja worked at a convenience store, whi yoo Mia frequents, she stays there with dokja multiple times, and at one point him yoo junghyuk and the kids going on a trip and they get separated.

I don't remember many details form this fic but I read it long ago, and I couldn't find it again, so it is either I can't find it or I am delusional and fabricated a whole memory of me reading a fanfic.

I don't know which is worse losing a good fic or being delusional to that point.

peace at last.
