#Also thinking about Kim da x Johnny again

I understand all the men that can’t keep their hands and arms away from Johnny’s throat

I saw the new poster for season 6 and Terry is not in it but Kreese and Kim are UGhhhhHhhhhHHhHh already annoyed and disappointed

If you let Terry Silver in, he completely takes over the show. Which is what saved the show in S4, because how often can we see Kreese go, "This is really your last chance, Johnny. Are ya in or are ya out?" But you put Terry and John Kreese together, out Kreese goes, Johnny Lawrence who?? What kids? (Though I think he would have gone for Samantha, or, much more intriguingly, neglected Anthony in an effort to ensnare his Danny boi 🥰), Terry is impossible to contain! They might have thought that Kreese and Terry would be an epic finale adversary duo, but in my completely biased opinion, Thomas is too good a writer and too epic a fighter compared to all the other actors not to pull focus. We saw this in the third film already! Daniel is not afraid of Kreese, but Terry? There's too much history there. And it's Johnny especially that he completely wipes off the board. And with Johnny the main character, that's rather a problem. So I kind of get that they put him on a bus. You can't go back to Johnny x Daniel vs Kreese with him around. And Ralph and Billy do so love playing together. And they have so much to wrap up.

What I am annoyed about is that they still want Tang Soo Do to be the main antagonistic force. Casting Master Kim, bringing in Da Eun and fabricating some bond between her and their version of Kreese (we've seen how they write Terry, that's not the same character. I can make sense of it in my head, but still), which they seem the audience to want to take at face value, and yet they want to leave out Terry? Tang Soo Do was Terry's obsessions. The Sekai Taikai was Terry's idea. In the way they write him, Kreese isn't that fussed about Master Kim or Tang Soo Do in the first place. He seems to have gone to Korea to indulge Terry, he would have never tried for the Sekai Taikai. So to now make that all about Kreese again because the writers have a raging boner for Kreese and Johnny's bond even if they can't write it well enough to keep it interesting... That annoys me. You're going Tang Soo Do, you're dealing with Terry.

They didn't have to go there. They could have left Terry to his hors d'oeuvres in the first place, but they didn't. And then they tried to make it about Johnny when it never was, and they failed to properly involve Johnny as an adult.

And they're like: "Oh, but this is where the backstory is!" Newsflash, if you're good enough a character writer, you don't need that. Case in point, I saw a Great Expectations adaption lately. And since I'd seen BBC's Dickensian first, I thought that the characters of Arthur Havisham and Compeyson would be major presences in the main story. But they're not. At all. And that's fine, because what the BBC writers wrote in no way contradicts the novel. So even if Johnny and Kreese were originally more thinly drawn, that needn't have stopped the writers from making them characters that could carry a show for six seasons. But they can't! Without backstory, they're lost. So they can't think of anything without building on whatever crumbs of canon they haven't milked yet. And they can't handle Terry Silver, who is an amazingly rich character because TIG created him and is a better character writer apparently. They have trouble containing Ralph because he knows Daniel so well and has lived with him even more intensely than Billy has and is an amazing actor. But for all his gifts, Ralph is not a writer. He couldn't write a series for Daniel. Thomas could write a series for Terry! In fact, he wrote a film for Terry. It's called Excessive Force! Also, TIG himself conceeded that he thought the LawRusso angle would carry the series, and there would be no need for Terry. Apparently, not in these writers' hands. And now they're trying to put him back in a box while still milking Terry's backstory. And I get why, but it shows. It's like how they've replaced Aisha, an interesting well rounded character with ties to Sam and a great love of Cobra Kai, with Devon, a girl who has been given barely any personality. Imagine what Aisha in Cobra Kai in S3 could have meant for drama. Her relationship with Tory, Sam, and Johnny already there. Why not give her Kenny's arc? Because - and I know I'm being salty - that would take skill. What they also could have done? Leave Kreese in jail or write him out for a bit, send Da Eun home, deal with all the kids for five episodes, then once they arrive in the Sekai Taikai, have Terry come out with: "Surprise, bitch. This has always been my dream, and you've now stepped on my turf. I told you not to." Terry could have spun that story about the ref, he could have turned it on Daniel and Johnny and Chozen. And maybe there yet will be a storyline about Terry in there. Because logically, is prison where it would end with Da Eun taking his place? Come on!

Hi, idk if you do requests, but if you do, may I request a cobra Kai Kim da eun x reader headcannon

Quandary Cobra's headcanons

pairings - Kim Da-Eun x you/non-binary reader

kg's notes - i just wanted to make something for the Kim lovers out there, so if you have any suggestions then let me know! i am going to be working with platonic then i will shift into more of a romantic aspect if you're wanting that. i won't being doing that tonight though.

She certainly has a lot of pictures of you lying around in the dojo or in her office somewhere (primarily on the floor).

She would get into Kreese's ass (figuratively not actually, unless you're wanting her to) if he was being too strict on you.

She has never really celebrated Halloween so you're the first to introduce to the spooky spirit!! 👻

You and her do not share a lot of common things that would spark interest, but you certainly are in a trance when she speaks about what makes her happy vice versa her with you.

You are definitely the one who makes the most messes and she's the one to clean them up without you noticing.

You are the only one to call her Kimmy; the others get tossed or thrown around even if they tried saying it.

She doesn't like being separated from you so she stays close to your location no matter where you are.

She is always quick to defend you, but will correct you in private.

You asked her for her favorite color which she didn't have one so you told her a color that she might like which became her favorite

She seems to know all your allergies without you telling her

You might want to look into how she did that, especially since you didn't disclose that information...

The two of you hate seeing the other get hurt and would do anything to prevent it happening again

Kreese teases you two about this in a more private setting, like having dinner at Silver's house for example.

She likes to spoil you with whatever she can find that you might like and there are definitely some questionable things in there

One time, she gave you a decapitated frog that was sealed in resin for your birthday

You gave her a keychain, but she didn't put it with her keys, she kept it around a loop of her pants instead

She admitted to you when she visited home that she named one of her snakes after you which is sweet yes, but it also made you wonder how many of those snakes she has

You found out that Kim has a sweet tooth and to this day, she denies having one though you see her eat the candies in her office.

She offers you some candy when you don't bring the fact up. Kim: "It's mostly sour candy not sweet candy." Reader: "Right, sure it is, Kimmy" Kim: "Do you not believe me, Reader?" Reader: "I will once you give me a piece." Kim, handing Reader a piece: "Don't say I didn't warn you" Reader, putting the candy in their mouth: "Oh that's not too- Oh!" Kim, laughing: "Believe me now?" Reader, coughing out the candy: "Oh, yes, I believe you."

You think about one-uping her after the candy incident, since your cheek still hurts day after the fact.

She tried apologizing to you for the candy, because she could have warned you a bit better than just saying it's "sour".

You eventually do forgive her for the candy as you give her something involving vinegar in return.

You two go back and forth with this shinnegains for a little while before returning the usual programming.

She gave you another frog for any future misfits, but hey, this one is alive instead sealed in resin.
