That scene where the guys knock Daniel down the hill but he hits his head on a rock and he loses his memories. Someone picks him up, drops him at the hospital and they call his mum.

When Daniel wakes up its to his mum and the handyman of their apartment building, though he doesn’t quite realise that initially.

“Oh my baby. Are you ok?” Daniel kinda smiles and nods, though its obvious he’s pretty confused about who tf they are.

It all gets explained, the two help him through his day to day and help him slowly regain most of his memories. Once he’s deemed ready for school they’re all a little hesitant to send him, bit hes determined to make it work.

He gets there, smiling and nodding at everyone who make eye contact with him. He doesn’t understand why they’re all avoiding him as if he has the plague but also doesn’t feel the need to try and find out.

Then there’s a group of guys yelling out his name, the sound of it a mix of confusion, anger and relief. Daniel turns toward them, smiles politely and waves as he greets them.

They all get confused, staring at him unsurely as the Blonde one speaks, “What the fuck is your problem?”

Daniel tilts his head for a moment before his eyes are widening slightly, “Oh are we friends? Sorry, i got into an accident a few weeks ago and lost my memories. I don’t remember much.”

He says it sheepishly, as if its his fault, and the guys all feel a stone drop in their stomachs at the news. They hadn’t meant to inflict any serious harm on the guy, only meant to fuck around and mess him up a bit or put a bit of fear in him cause it was funny.

There’s a moment where they try and play it off, thinking he’s just fucking with them to make them feel guilty but when Ali comes running over calling his name, and he does nothing more than give her the same friendly smile and greeting they know its not fake.

For the prompt RITUAL @allvalley100 (#2)

“And if I ever hear about you hurting him again, I’ll—“

“Ma, leave Johnny alone, will you?”

Johnny, to his credit, looks more amused than scared by the interrogation.

“How many times have I gotta tell you, we’re good. You don’t have to give him the third degree.”

“As your mother, it’s my job to make sure your boyfriend treats you right.”

“And he is.” Daniel assures. “Now out.”

“Alright, alright.” She tsks. “Thank you, Johnny.”

Daniel grumbles, tugging Johnny close, tousling his hair.

“She wasn’t too hard on you?”

“Nah.” Johnny grins, squeezing his hip. “Probably not hard enough.”

For the @allvalley100 prompt Chemistry.

Characters: Lucille LaRusso, Daniel LaRusso, Johnny Lawrence

Pairing: teen!LawRusso

“Daniel, honey, I’m leaving,” Lucille called.

She opened his door, freezing at the sight of Daniel kissing Johnny Lawrence.

Johnny gazed at Daniel with adoration until he saw her, expression turning fearful.

“LaRusso,” he breathed.

Daniel looked up. “Ma!”

They sat up, Daniel half in Johnny’s lap, gripping his arm.

Lucille’s shock softened. “Studying for chemistry, huh? Guess you’re passing.”

Both turned bright red.

“I’m leaving. Do some actual studying, please?”

Johnny murmured, “Yes, ma’am,” from behind Daniel’s shoulder.

She smiled. “I knew he liked blondes.”

“Ma, please,” Daniel groaned.

She left smiling and called back “Clothes stay on!”

“Ma!”

[diningwiththeasquiths]

The first time Johnny calls Lucille 'Ma' he's a little awkward about it, but she smiles back so warmly that the next time he says it, it feels like the most natural thing in the world

Sorry if it's boring, but continuing with LawRusso AU Johnny princess, I really like the "enchanted" movie and I can't stop thinking about Johnny being Giselle singing to the rats and cockroaches to clean Daniel and Sam's house lol

as a rule of thumb it is NEVER boring to send me asks, especially ones like these where i can have fun and think of AUs! and you picked a movie i love so this is just a win win for me!!

let’s get into it:

lawrusso enchanted AU is such a good idea im almost jealous i didn’t think of it myself!!

i think daniel and amanda got divorced amicably a few years ago and she still lives in los angeles but daniel moved back to jersey to be closer to lucille and he took sam with him (im imagining this as a story without anthony because it fits better, sorry anthony).

daniel still works as a divorce lawyer because that is just funny to me and it’s canon to the movie and he has this perpetual look of "im one shirt sleeve caught on a door handle away from snapping" look because being a single father is hard work and yeah, he and amanda co-parent but sam is with him most of the time and by moving here he’s always made himself more prone to special lucille larusso mother attacks of "you never visit even now that you’re so close" "you’re so skinny, do you cook actual food or just eat take out?" "are you coming for christmas? all your cousins will be there and also that nice girl you liked when you were a kid, judy? maybe it’s time to get back into dating, daniel!"

amanda has planned to come into the city to spend the holidays with her daughter and ex-husband and i see her as a platonic nancy role.

sam is in her full princess era and she’s making both her parents crazy with all the singing and dancing (and kicking furniture because she’s a karate princess)

meanwhile, in andalasia, johnny who is both prince(ss) and hero dreams of finding his one true love and sighs at his window. he’s been locked away in a tower by his evil step-dad kreese and he’s waiting for someone to come and save him (or at least just open the door of his magically locked tower because he can surely save himself).

carmen who happens to be a princess and hero herself has gone on a quest to save the lost prince of andalasia and with her help, johnny manages to escape the tower, defeat a forest troll and take back his throne from kreese’s claws. he and carmen tentatively get together (but deep down both feel this might not be the right fit for each other) and as johnny makes his way to his own royal wedding he’s sent to Real Life New Jersey and meets daniel and sam.

i kind of see giselle’s wedding dress for him but with pants for a more Realistic outfit but… screw realism i want johnny lawrence in that EXACT outfit!

also imagine scott mccall the equalizer soft mullet with a tiara, it’s just too good. ALSO imagine carmen IN THIS!!!!

you KNOW she would rock this!!

oh and yeeees, johnny summoning rats and insects in daniel’s apartment to clean and sam is SOOOOO excited because that’s a real life prince(ss) who also happens to be a great fighter and they do karate moves while also talking about johnny’s best friend, a chipmunk called bobby.

sam and johnny going on a shopping spree and buying a bunch of stuff and eating ice cream. johnny going to the hairdresser and having his hair cut to look more traditionally masculine (daniel doesn’t want to look into why it makes him sad) because he he keeps getting looks from people in the street for his dress and long hair.

johnny making clothes out of daniel’s curtains and daniel is all you could just ASK me for MY clothes you are not THAT much bigger than i am. johnny making a gi for sam out of pastel pink flower fabric from an old blanket and daniel is like okay… i have to admit that’s pretty adorable.

johnny in the park singing to daniel, who has been wondering if he should take his mom’s advice and try to get back with amanda, hoooow dooooes she knooooow you loooove heeeer (johnny stop, people are looking at us) and johnny has that giselle/animated princess innocence but there is still very much an edge of assholery to him where every time he can he embarrasses daniel as much as possible.

(carmen running around new jersey trying to find her prince(ss) and being like i kind of hate this i wish this was more sunny, also why do i keep getting questions about being on broadway what is a broad a way)

daniel and johnny fighting because johnny keeps saying carmen will come get him and daniel is so fed up with it ("no, johnny, it’s just not gonna happen." "no? is that the only word you know, larusso? no?! oh my god you make me so, so so!!!" "so what?" "so angry!" cue sparring in the living room because that’s how they deal with emotions )

johnny and daniel falling in love montage and then CARMEN AND AMANDA FALLING IN LOVE MONTAGE!!! YES I WILL SNEAK CARMANDA IN EVERYTHING EVER!!

kreese coming to new jersey to finish the job, daniel and johnny going to the ball and daniel giving johnny a true love’s kiss, kreese turning into a dragon and kidnapping daniel, johnny chasing them on the roof with carmen’s sword in his hand and finally getting rid of his evil step-father to save his one true love!!

"is this an habit of yours, daniel? falling off of stuff?"

"only when you’re there to catch me."

lawrusso new jersey happy ending and carmanda los angeles happy ending because amanda wouldn’t go to andalasia when sam is there and hey! carmen would love a break from being a fairytale hero! she wants to go to the beach!

daniel quits his job because it makes him miserable and he and johnny open a dojo together which sam is very excited about and lucille is so happy that her son has found someone and seems to be happier than ever.

they all go to andalasia once in a while to visit bobby and the other three chipmunks (you know who they are) and they all live happily ever after.

the end!

@allvalley100 Characters:  Lucille LaRusso, Daniel LaRusso, Johnny Lawrence Pairing: Lawrusso (arguably) Warning: none Prompt: Wild Card ---- Lucille was beaming. “How’d you manage it?” she asked Daniel. “I tried to get in here, what, a thousand times before I left? They were always fully booked.” Daniel smiled, picking up the menu. “You would never believe it.” “Try me.” “I ran into an old…” Bully felt too wrong and would worry her. Classmate too distance for the rush of warmth he’d felt. “Friend,” Daniel said. “He lives in the Hills. Said he could get me in when we visited.” “Lawrence! Back to work! Don’t just stand there gawking.” Johnny turned from the door and went back to work.

[zappedbyzabka]

I need Johnny to be loved- here it is 💖

Johnny’s standing at the doorstep of Daniel’s apartment, eyes red and puffy, tears still streaming down his face. Sid kicked him out, almost hurt him before Johnny ran to the only place he knows: Daniel. He’d been knocking for a while, praying that somebody would answer.

“Daniel-san not home.” Miyagi comes up behind Johnny.

“I’m sorry. I’ll go then, just— don’t tell him I came by.”

“You do not look good. Come with me.” Miyagi takes Johnny down to his quaint little place. He sits him down and starts up some tea. Through Johnny’s still emotional state, he finally connects the dots. This is Miyagi, the old guy Daniel treats like a saint. He sees it now.

“Thank you, Mr. Miyagi. Sorry to bother you though.” Johnny sniffles as a cup of tea is brought to him.

“No bother. You are friend of Daniel-san, so you are friend to me too.” Miyagi sits next to Johnny with his own cup of tea. It’s relaxing. Johnny feels welcome.

“Feel better?”

“Kinda. I just– don’t know what to do. But now that I think about it, it’s stupid to have come here. Daniel wouldn’t want me here. I’m gonna go, maybe Sid will let me back in or something. I’m sorry.”

“No. You stay. If you need place to live you stay here. Daniel-san speak very highly about you. He will be home any minute.” Miyagi is a convincing guy, and Johnny stays. Part of him really does think about going back, trying to suck up to Sid again, but really he needs a safer home. Maybe Miyagi’s right, maybe Daniel would tolerate him living there.

And like magic, Daniel and his mother are home. Johnny hears it first, Daniel’s loud laugh, talking about something to his mother. Johnny feels a twist in his gut, suddenly nervous to show his face. Miyagi does it for him.

“Daniel-san! Your friend is here. He need you. Mrs. Larusso too.”

Daniel perks up immediately, like he does when he’s ready to fight, “Johnny?”

Inside, Johnny is gripping his cup of tea and holding his tears back; he doesn’t want Daniel to see him anymore.

Daniel runs in and immediately he’s at Johnny’s side.

“Hey man, what— what happened to you?” He can see the tears leaving tracks down Johnny’s cheeks, and he can’t stand it. He can’t have Johnny like this: hurt.

“Sorry.” Johnny can’t look him in the eye.

“Don’t be. Are you okay?” The worry in Daniel’s eyes is genuine. Johnny let’s everything go. The tears keep flowing and Johnny’s fighting to breathe through his sniffs. Daniel holds him close, and more hands come to hold him. Nobody pries at the situation, but he spews anyway.

“I don’t have anywhere to go. Sid– he almost… I can’t go back. I didn’t know what to do and you don’t have to let me stay but even if it’s just tonight I’d be so-“

“Johnny, you’re welcome as long as you like.” Lucille pulls Johnny’s head closer to her. Johnny can’t focus on anything but the touch he’s receiving, how welcoming it is and how much it feels like the family he’s never had but desperately needed.

“Are you sure?” Johnny chokes out, holding onto Daniel’s sweater and leaning into Lucille’s touch, all while Miyagi rests a hand on his shoulder comfortingly.

“Don’t think twice about it. We can work the finer things out later.” Daniel smiles. Johnny tugs on Daniel’s sweater.

“Yeah like clothes. Don’t think I can fit into yours.” He laughs, and Daniel smiles back with sincerity Johnny could never find anywhere else.

That night, wrapped in Daniel’s blankets, resting against his chest, Johnny feels safe. He’s welcome somewhere for once. He may feel guilty, but Daniel and Lucille are quick to put and end to it, because he’s one of them. (Lucille is exhilarated when Johnny and Daniel start dating. Young lawrusso wins)

(Miyagi also really loves Johnny too; he sees him like a son.)

😭🫠😭🫠😭

Years later, Daniel proposes to Johnny on the same day Johnny planned on proposing to him (Daniel went ring shopping with Mr. Miyagi, and Lucille went ring shopping with Johnny—somehow they both kept their lips tight and didn’t tell each other about their sons’ plans), and Johnny practically jumped into Daniel’s arms when Daniel stood back up after he said yes, wrapping his legs around Daniel's waist, and kissing him meaningfully for a good minute, the ring Daniel got him shining on his finger, before steadying himself back up on his feet and getting on one knee in front of Daniel.

And one and a half years after that, Johnny turns over to look back at Daniel, who’s big spooning him in their bed, matching wedding bands comforting and snug around their fingers.

“What are you thinking about, LaRusso?”

Daniel hums contentedly. “Not much but you…LaRusso.”

Johnny smothers him in kisses.

[bisexualmultifandommess]

Time for The Karate Kid himself!!!

DANIEL LARUSSO!!

Warning to those who find it uncomfortable or are a minor there’s some adult themes in this post.

My boy is bisexual and he’s proud of it.

Daniel doesn’t really buy into toxic masculinity and gender norms he literally doesn’t care. If you think he’s weird for being emotional or not being what society thinks is the typical man than he will think you’re an idiot.

It’s clear that he is very attracted to blonde people (Johnny and Ali). The first time he saw Ali he was obviously smitten but I definitely think he was attracted to Johnny when he first saw him and was still attracted to him but obviously upset after he hurt him.

I’ve said that the rest of Cobra Kai (Bobby, Dutch, Tommy and Jimmy) were attracted to him too so I think that Daniel also found Bobby and Jimmy attractive but didn’t mention anything because they were all annoying him.

He felt conflicted about liking Johnny but also finding him irritating. He is proud of his sexuality but wasn’t too sure how Johnny would feel about someone being Queer let alone being attracted to him. He kept it quiet.

The first person he properly told was his mum. She was very supportive of him but also upset that she might’ve made him think he couldn’t tell her. He reassured her that it wasn’t that he just needed time. Lucille is always ready to defend her son from bigots.

Mr Miyagi had figured it out from the way Daniel looked at Ali and Johnny and noticed it was sometimes similar. He didn’t say anything until Daniel felt comfortable enough to tell him because he didn’t want to assume or pressure him.

Daniel definitely has a thing for strong and independent people and can’t help but feel connected to people when they challenge him.

He was really in love with Kumiko and I think even though lawrusso is my main ship they were the best of Daniel’s canon ships. They had a real connection and I think they brought out the best in each other.

Daniel was definitely attracted to Chozen even though he didn’t want to admit it when younger because he didn’t like him.

Daniel had a small crush on Silver before everything about him was revealed and Silver used this to his advantage to manipulate Daniel. Daniel was heartbroken for a number of reasons the day he found out it was all a lie.

He dated and hooked up with some guys once he got a little older and though he didn’t realise they all had a similar appearance to Johnny. Daniel was in denial about that and didn’t notice.

His relationship with Amanda was good and they loved each other but eventually drifted apart. Once he was divorced he started to develop feelings for Johnny again. I think he was very conflicted about his feelings for Johnny even once they were both older because they’d both changed a lot and had some much more problems to deal with.

I like to think that eventually they both get to a point where they can explore their feelings and attraction towards each other.

Daniel is very open with his kids about his sexuality and has always explained to them what it means. Sam once she got older bought him a pride flag and he found it cute that his daughter got him it so he keeps it in his office at work.

I think when it comes to his partners in bed whether they’re a man or a woman he isn’t the dominant type. He spends so much time in his normal everyday life trying to control things and feel organised that in bed he likes others to have a little control. It’s this way with Johnny the first time they sleep together and Johnny is really surprised that Daniel lets him take the lead when he’s usually so wound up.

He was quite happy the first time he referred to Johnny as his boyfriend because after so much conflict in their history together they were finally together.

He nearly cried when Johnny was the first one to say “I love you”.

Demetri confided in him about being Queer and Daniel was able to talk to him about it. He understood how scary it could be being Queer and the feelings you can have for someone. He felt good about being able to understand and help his students.

Miyagi Fang took him and Johnny to a pride parade which he really enjoyed. He’d been to a few before but being their with so many people he loves was amazing for him.

Just want to say this for all my fellow Lawrusso shippers but Daniel and Johnny definitely make out at least ten times a day. I mean they definitely only stop when they know someone is around. Their students and their friends find them annoying because they’re obsessed with each other and the only upside is in their obsession they no longer try to kill each other too but sometimes on days where their flirting and making out is too insufferable they almost think it was better when they obsessed over winning against each other.

They’re in love.

[phoomwhoosh]

Fic author's self rec! When you get this reply with your five favorite fics that you've written, then pass it on to at least give other writers. Let's spread the self love. 💜

Ayyyy! Thank you! 💜

Under a cut just because it got long lmao:

Now, i just wanna preface this with: I love many of my fics so I went ahead and tried to pick different ones from another time I think I did this. Also, I apologize (not really) for the way I present some of these. XD

Do you want an Amanda POV fic about her and Daniel having a grand time together (she rails him at one point) after Lucille takes Sam for the weekend? Then Baby, what we have is gold is for you!

How about a Chozen POV fic where, you guessed it, he rails Daniel to within an inch of his life? Yes, I'm talking about Under the cherry blossoms. XD (I'm just saying, it has a sequel too.)

Okay, okay, I'll stop presenting them like a prize on a game show. (I'm lying.)

This next fic is a newer one I posted but that I am quite happy with. It's the sequel to a certain LaKreese fic (Kiss with a fist) and is...Dog days are over! Daniel once again gets railed in this one. I'm starting to notice a theme going on with these favs but, hey, that's the last one, I promise.

One of my favorites that I'm still working on right now is Let me get that for you, which is basically a fic exploring Daniel's life after the third movie (something I do love doing) and has the fun bonus of Johnny apologizing and Daniel now having the Cobras (annoyingly) hanging around. Of course, unfortunately for Daniel, the Cobras aren't the only ones who start creeping back into his life. It is Eventual Lawrusso because my brain went "yes, I love them together, look at them, they're so annoying, I love them." (I did not start-out writing it as Lawrusso but, hey, shit happens in a WIP lol.)

Also, @cookietastic has made some absolutely amazing art for this fic and just in general is an incredibly talented artist. Frankly, without this lovely piece to give me brain worms, this fic might not have existed. 💜

The other favorite that I've been working on is You octopi my heart, which is a MerCobras fic with Lawrusso. Basically, the events of the first movie went the same except it was Mike, Snake, and Dennis (who weren't in Cobra Kai, just assholes) instead of the Cobras bullying Daniel. The Cobras were busy being mermen and not going to a real school. The events of the second movie still happened, although I did write a Before the Beginning thing that gives a bit more of an ending (?) to those events. Anyway, Daniel discovers mermen are real in this fic and it leads to some Shenanigans that have made some of you go, "Oh, god, this Daniel wouldn't survive in a horror movie." XD He's fine, though! No, really, I actually mean it this time lol. For now

[ereiniel]

First of all, your titles all sound gorgeous! “Your Pain, Seared on My Heart” and “The Convergence of Sea and Sky,” perhaps?

OH BOY.  I’m so sorry it took so long for me to answer this, because I had to go back into my notes and sort through everything to figure out what exactly I was thinking all those months ago with those two fics.  The files are pretty sizable, and I had to make sense of a lot of what I’d written there before I could give you a proper answer.  I started writing these concept treatments when I first started writing for the fandom last year and had all sorts of ideas just thrown in there, some of which were good, some of which I look back on and am like, “what the hell is this?”  I haven’t looked at them in months, ever since I dropped everything to work on my current active WIP.

These fics have gone through a few different iterations, and when I first received your ask, I thought both titles were still part of the same Lawrusso fic series, but it turns out I separated Your Pain, Seared on My Heart from A Prize Beyond and The Convergence of Sea and Sky at some point.  Clearly, this is still very much a work in progress, and between now and the time I write it, it may change yet again, but this is how it stands right now:

The Convergence of Sea and Sky was the first longfic concept I started working on last year, inspired by some of my All-Valley 100 ‘Brick Wall’ entries.  It’s a Lawrusso KK3 AU where Johnny and Daniel are already together, and they work together to bring down Terry and Kreese and Cobra Kai.  Terry is a really nasty piece of work in this one, and Johnny knows Mike from All-State (he came in first, Mike second, in 1983-84), so he knows how dangerous Mike can be.  Daniel training with Terry puts a real strain on his and Johnny’s relationship, not least because Johnny knows what’s going on from the injuries Daniel comes home with (since they’re a lot like the ones he himself used to get from Kreese), but Daniel is trapped by Terry and can’t leave without causing even more trouble for everyone.  Some character details, like Johnny being a sports medicine major, ended up in my current fic, which I may or may not keep for this one as well.  My concept notes are a lot angstier and so much darker than I remembered 😬 but at least I have an idea for a happy ending planned for them. 

--

Your Pain, Seared on My Heart is a KK1 Lawrusso soulmate concept AU, in which Daniel and Lucille move to LA because of Lucille’s new job with the in-house IT department at Dynatox.  It starts in Newark, where we get to see Daniel and Lucille’s life before they move, with Daniel’s grandparents and extended family and friends (and Judy!), as well as seeing Lucille finally get her computer science degree that she put on hold when she met and married David. 

As part of the perks for working for Terry Silver, they’ve received a company house in Encino Hills, a fancy company car, and the use of Terry’s personal facilities (pool, hot tub, sauna, tennis court, private dojo, etc.) whenever they want.  As expected, Terry takes a shine to Daniel right away when they first meet, and makes arrangements for him to join Cobra Kai to ensure he has friends in LA.  Terry is very much involved in Cobra Kai and teaches alongside Kreese, though not as often as he’d like due to his other business commitments.

Daniel is introduced to Johnny and the Cobras as a new member of their karate class; due to his limited karate background, Terry gives him ‘extra private lessons’ outside of class to ‘catch him up’ to everyone else.  Little does Daniel know that Kreese is doing the same sort of ‘extra lessons’ arrangement for Johnny, and when they find out about what’s happening to the other and how they’ve both been trapped, they help each other through it and, through that, develop a deeper and closer relationship.  They immediately feel a deep connection to the other when they first meet, and as their relationship develops, can feel the pain the other is feeling when they’re dealing with Kreese and Terry.  It’s their connection and combined strength that give them the courage to fight back.

Mr. Miyagi is a groundskeeper/maintenance employee at Dynatox, and his duties include maintaining Terry’s house, the company homes, and the dojo space.  It’s how he gets to know Daniel, and how he finds Daniel and Johnny in the dojo on several occasions after they’ve been hurt by their teachers, and he takes care of them and helps them and their friends get away from Cobra Kai.

This is the WIP that most resembles a proper fic concept, and the one I was seriously working on and getting ready to write when Rain That Tastes Like Wine popped into my head and I had to set this one aside.  I had to put these fics on hold because Terry is a creepy, nasty piece of work in both and very different from the Terry I am currently writing, and I didn’t want to confuse the characterizations and write them incorrectly.  This is the fic I think I’m most looking forward to writing after I’m done with my current one, so thank you for bringing it back to the forefront of my consciousness.  I’m just trying to focus on one fic at a time right now!

Thank you so much for the asks, and I love that you love my story titles! 💖💖💖

modern lawrusso dynamic: johnny texts daniel poorly-taken photos of what he is eating for dinner (a small pile of poorly-cooked frozen chicken nuggets. a handful of mozzarella sticks. two pieces of fried bologna. etc) just to share, and daniel responds every time in the vein of, “That is in no way, shape, or form a meal. Please come over immediately so I can cook you some actual food.”

[landslided]

the domestic lawrusso polls have spoken!

daniel voted most likely to have a rivalry with the next door neighbors. 60.7%

daniel voted most likely to call johnny « my husband » first (before they’re even engaged) 59.5%

chozen voted most likely to cry the most at the lawrusso wedding. 40% (but miguel came close with 33.3% of the votes!)

johnny voted most likely to get jealous of the karate moms flirting when they come pick up their kids. 59.4% (this was also the poll that was the most voted on!)

amanda voted most likely to get lawrusso together! 37.3% (johnny came in second and daniel third.)

and finally, the thing that is the most likely to happen at the lawrusso wedding, as voted by you guys, is for johnny to write sappy vows that end with « you’re alright, larusso » 18.9% (but chozen and bobby’s karaoke session and lucille’s californian blonds speech almost took it)

i had a lot of fun doing these, let me know if you guys have other poll ideas and thank you for voting!
