big fan of how classic who doctors are like "i will defeat this opponent with my intellect and skills" and then they beat the shit out of said opponent

Imagining Johnny's idiot ass standing up whenever Daniel walks into a room, like a confused but gentlemanly British man

isn't it crazy that kickin' it has an episode where two fifteen year olds are tricked into filming a movie where they fight grown ass adult warriors, run from wild dogs, "dodge spears & escape traps" [according to kim because this is an off-screen event], presumably spend several hours in this fake? forest with no food or water & are told that one of them has to kill the other to survive? and this still isn't the most intense episode of the series?

The ultimate aim of karate lies not in victory nor defeat, but in the perfection of the character of its participants.

sometimes you just need a college update

and woo boy do i have one for you!

Literature: class last tuesday got canceled again. turns out “being sick” meant something nerve related bc. he mentioned a neurologist! (also explains why he bounced back so quickly). anyways his idea of great media was watching the british crime show Luther. yes THAT Luther. (hes right btw but also why.) just the first ep but. man. also we have to write a paper on it lmao

Calculus: my teacher is definitely terrified of me in a good way. he learned i already took AP calc BC so! (sorry im very happy with this guy) also we FINALLY LEARNED DERIVATIVES!!! im so excited derivates are so easy to use (however i was banned from Cheating [power rule])

History: OH MAN. so today we were vibing in class, class ends at 11:15am. 15 minutes out from class, there is a SUBWOOFER outside, BLASTING the bass. you can hear it from inside. prof had to stop and go “?????”. TURNS OUT! IT WAS A DJ! FOR A CAMPUS SECURITY EVENT (i am Not Kidding). anyways that was hilarious.

Physics: Please Get Me Out Of Here (so much is wrong with this class)

this shit is baffling to me

going insane thinking about the months and months that 13 y/o t.im had to train before being let on missions and how much stricter b.ruce and a.lfred probably were on him than they were with the other robins

Okay but can you please elaborate on Miguel as a teacher? Like what is his teaching style like? Did/does teaching others come naturally to him?

oh, you BET i can! this is definitely gonna be more of a ramble than i'd planned because i'm excited. <33

i think even before the events of the show, miguel seems like the kind of kid that would help his friends with schoolwork if he understood it. he's very good with a handful of subjects, but i don't think he would have opened it up to people he wasn't close with. he's been very vocal through the seasons about getting picked on and bullied at every school he'd been to pre-s1, and showing off his smarts to everyone was a one-way ticket to another target on his back.

but that mindset definitely changes once he gains more confidence in his abilities. one of my favorite things to note about miguel's growth through the seasons is how he turns from a student to practically an assistant sensei as cobra kai picks up off the ground and gains more traction. from the very beginning of the show, he's trying to recruit eli and demetri because he wants his friends to be able to feel the strength that he's found with johnny's help. on his "not-date" with sam, miguel offers to teach her a couple basic moves because he's proud of what he learned. he, eli, and aisha are seen leading warm ups multiple times.

i bring it up all the time, but my favorite clip when talking abt miguel as a teacher is in the sparring fight on tory's first day at ck. he starts giving her tips and pointers about her stance or the way she's telegraphing her next moves AS he's fighting her. he takes a step back and speaks without a second of hesitation, like he's focusing more on helping her out than trying to beat her. from that line delivery alone, you can tell this probably happens with almost every other ck student he spars with.

he's also the one seen talking to and welcoming the new students that show up after ck's win at the avt, as well as adult visitors that show up (kreese before he gets introduced). that same energy translates into eagle fang even while he's going through his recovery arc. even though he's still building up strength, johnny has him sit out from the physicality of training whilst still utilizing miguel's teaching skills to get the rest of the dojo up to speed for the second all-valley. there aren't a lot of scenes with him helping eagle fang students the way he did with cobra kai, but i like to think that a lot of that happens off screen!! (they can pry the devon's first mentor hc's out of my cold dead hands)

ignore the terrible quality but this has been plauging me for a good while. is the lightbulb just really big, or is it normal sized and karate joe is just really small. i thought the latter option was funnier so i did some very approximate math to see how tall he would be compared to the lightbulb

to make a long story short, using the lightbulb as a unit of measurement, he is smaller than a newborn child.

rough explanation under read more

my first step was to find out what size the lightbulb would be if i were to use it as a unit of measurement. since i didn’t feel like getting too specific of what lightbulb it is (remember, this is very approximate and mostly done for goofs), i did some research and then calculated the average length of a standard A19 bulb, and i ended up with 4.1 inches.

after that, i used ibispaint to trace the lightbulb and stack them until they reached joe’s height, and it got up to 3 1/4 lightbulbs. 4.1 x 3.25 = 13.325 which would equal 1 foot & 1.325 inches (or just 1’1”) or 0.33 meters (when rounded to the nearest hundredth)

so there you have it. if the lightbulb was regular sized in the above image, karate joe would be super tiny. if i used different units of measurement i’d get very different results but the lightbulb was funny to me so i only did that. if anyone else wants to try and calculate more accurately go ahead. i am not a math expert so this was mostly done for the sillies

children portrayed in video games is always so strange to see.. it's always just a smidge off. they so rarely seem like they would gleefully beat the shit out of you if given half the chance. thinking about the tiefling kids you meet practicing swordplay mostly - the fact that not one of them tries to hit you with their fake weaponry is a travesty of immersion-breaking proportions

I will never understand how I manage to have anxiety about things like making a phone call or respond in group chats but still be ready to verbally curse out someone when I'm angry about something I care about... also it's been too long since I've had a debate about politics with people irl I should really have another verbal fight with someone just to release stress lmao
