Forcing you to Look At Them

[youandthemountains]

Daniel, Jimmy, Kreese, Robby!

Daniel

character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with: i'm sorry.... i'm the daniel fandom bicycle culprit :(

Daniel/Johnny OBV what even is cobra kai without this

Damiko my beloveds

Daniel/Amanda/Johnny and Daniel/Amanda

Daniel/Chozen

Daniel/Johnny/Shannon

Daniel/Jimmy

Daniel/Bobby

Daniel/Mike in very particular settings

okay real talk I ship Daniel/Ali strongest as Danielle/Ali

Daniel/That Hot Young Fisherman He Mistook For Miyagi

general opinions: Do I really need to embarrass myself further? I love him SO much. If I wasn't averse to sounding like Gollum I would have highlighted the "my precious" line. He's an absolute fantasy of a boy. I tear up thinking of him. I am afire with tenderness thinking of him. I'm excited to see him finally work through his shit instead of repressing it but I'm so proud of him working through the pain his whole life just like he did in that first fight. About time to face it head on though, instead of living a purely reactive, huh?

Jimmy

character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with: Daniel/Jimmy, thanks to you! I'd believe him with any of the OG Cobras too.

general opinions: Okay real talk I don't even know how people knew each of the Cobras names and details, I def didn't really catch anyone besides Johnny and Bobby on my first viewing. I love the Jimmy you write so much though, I love the quiet competence that takes charge in the tennis fic and the gentle teasing as he gets comfortable in tell me about it, stud. I think the personality you flesh him out with gives him such an interesting dynamic and intersection with Daniel as well as the rest of the cobras.

Kreese

character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with: Kreese x Obsolescence, Kreese x Semi Truck, Kreese x Public Humiliation, Kreese x Getting tag-team KO'd by Daniel and Amanda in defense of Johnny and Robby and the rest of their kids. (Amanda would also be in it specifically in defense of young Daniel and Sam. You know that scene in Anastasia where she stomps on the phylactery while growling "This is for Dmitri, This is for my family, and this, this is for you - Dasvidaniya!"? That's what I'm picturing here)

general opinions: I don't think this man has said a single honest word in his life. I also think he should shut up about the war. We should talk more about how easily Miguel debunked his war stories. He's really a master of manipulation too and I think he sometimes slides under the radar bc Silver is just so batshit insane with it.

Robby

character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with: I really don't have ships for the teens, but I do think Robby/Sam worked better as bffs/step-siblings lol. Honestly I also think I like Miguel and Robby best as eventual step-siblings too. I've seen people ship Robby/Shawn? idk. I think he'll find someone great once he gets out of this crazy karate town. oh you know what, Robby/Topanga Karate Kid. I believe he can show Robby a lot of love and help him come to terms with finding peace in his lack of a father figure and reconnect with his mom once she's gone through the recovery process.

general opinions: Man, this poor kid just slipping through the cracks for everyone. I really want to know what Shannon knows about his situation, Robby does seem close to her and it seems like she had distinctly gone downhill at the start of the show too.
