Carmen’s canon nicknames for Johnny.

Hoping season 6 (or a season 5 deleted scene) blesses us with Johnny’s nickname for Carmen (something other than babe, something cute he came up with just for her, like Amanda did with ‘hubby-san’).

It would also be super awesome if either of them has a Spanish nickname for the other.

For the character ask game: Johnny Lawrence from Cobra Kai?

favorite thing about them

When he really tries, he’s a great Sensei! He took Miguel from a white belt to an All-Valley Champ in a matter of months.

least favorite thing about them

Pretty much all his S4 behavior–Robby and Miguel in particular, though the Robby issues have been festering since S1.

Also...his favoritism of Miguel is very heavy. I wish he’d extend that to his other students. Also a since-S1 problem.

favorite line

Although the cement truck lesson was super unsafe...I do like him teaching his kids to keep moving, to take failures and use them as motivation. To never get stuck like cement. That’s important to learn!

brOTP

Daniel & Johnny (I do also ship them), OG Cobras & Johnny, Johnny & Miguel (pre-S4)!

WAIT ALSO SAM & JOHNNY!! How did I forget omg 😂

OTP

...oh boy. Honestly none? I’m not really opposed to any of the Johnny ships, but I don’t love any of them honestly...especially after S4. Though I do like Lawrusso, and Johnny/Bobby intrigues me!

(So does Adult Jali tbh)

nOTP

Johnny/Kreese, Johnny/Silver...I’ve also seen really weird ones (yeah, weirder than those previous two), but I never list those as nOTPs because I feel like that’s self-explanatory (like Johnny/Miguel. Yeah, that exists)

(Jarmen isn’t a nOTP but I don’t really ship it all that much? I ship it more in fanon than canon)

random headcanon

Johnny stopped doing karate altogether after KK1. Since Bobby wasn’t traumatized by it in quite the same way, he continued doing it on his own. And Johnny, over time, rediscovered his love for it through Bobby!

unpopular opinion

Johnny should’ve been the one to apologize to Robby, to make amends (like in @emletish-fish‘s Good boy fic!). I absolutely hate that Robby had to come to Johnny and extend the olive branch a lot this season.

song i associate with them

"The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac!

favorite picture of them

This is just so funny I’m sorry XD

character ask game!

[krytus]

hey for the character ask meme: that lawrence fellow from the karate show?

johnny lawrence.....

favorite thing about them

he's SUCH a loser and the narrative doesn't cut him any slack for it. constantly deals w the consequences of his own actions. also i love how he always tries to solve his problems w his fists and sometimes it works!!! also its so relatable how he would die for miguel :)

least favorite thing about them

everyone stop being horny for billy zabka its weird he's like sixty

favorite line

"he said i have a small wang? tell him he has a small wang."

"if you go anywhere near miguel or his family i'll kill you"

"i even learned feminism!"

brOTP

mmmm his dynamic w all the kids!! he really cares abt them and its so sweet to see. his dynamic w miguel is the best but i also really love how they did his dynamic w sam 🥺

OTP

JARMEN SUPREMACY!!!! mostly bc i project on mister karate king and i think carmen is great :)

nOTP

not gonna lie everyone on the tag has killed any love i had for lawrusso like....there are other characters guys. i can only stand it as the karate centric bisexual polycule

random headcanon

he would definitely ask if he can change his last name to diaz once he marries into the family and carmen is like sure why not

unpopular opinion

STOP BEING HORNY FOR BILLY ZABKA ITS WEIRD HE'S SIXTY alsooooo i dont care if johnny doesn't fix his relationship w robby the kid has bad vibes :)

song i associate with them

you stupid bitch, crazy ex girlfriend soundtrack

OC VALENTINES DAY

Day 7: Love, An Admirer

Carmen Bauman and Jonathan Byers have been allowed to call each other for months, and yet, they still like to write each other letters monthly just to keep tradition alive. Though Jonathan is not exactly big on celebrating Valentines Day, Carmen decides to write a letter anyway - she even attempted to make a mixtape for him, results may vary.

I wasn't going to share this originally because I made it with an AI generator (I cannot draw, cut me some slack please) but I made Carmen and Jonathan and this is way too good not to share. Like, look at them!

If they had a kid meme Carmen and Jonathan

YES OKAY, as I stated in this post, Carmen and Jonathan go on to have three kids, in the previous post you'll find their middle child. Let me introduce you to their oldest!

Name: Willow Vanessa Byers

Gender: Female

General Appearance: Kind face, soft eyes which she also gets from both parents, resembles her mother, usually wears flowy dresses or other flowy outfits, does not like to be restricted

Personality: Empathetic, dedicated, insightful, adventurous

Special Talents: Skating, acting, decorating

Who they like better: Carmen, they click very well, though she obviously loves Jonathan as well

Who they take after more: Again, Carmen

Personal Head canon: Willow has powers, but chooses to not use them unless absolutely necessary, she also learned how to skate from Max, was like, a total surprise to Carmen and Jonathan

Face Claim: Melissa Barrera

[ginger-grimm]

jarmen for the faceapp kid ask!!

Yes thank you so much!

[ginger-grimm]

Jonathan and Carmen's love languages?

This is so cute!

Carmen is a master at taking a bunch of responsibility off his back and making him realize that it's okay to be selfish every once in a while. She's also a pro at making him like flowers when he really didn't think he would.

Jonathan takes a picture of Carmen literally any time he thinks she looks like a Goddess...so always. No, but seriously, he has an entire box of pictures of Carmen. Vanessa always jokes that it's creepy but Carmen has never felt so seen and loved.

[ginger-grimm]

This is how it happened

[ginger-grimm]

❤️‍🔥 Carmen and Jonathan

So, Carmen first falls for Jonathan when he's taking care of her after he was shot, meanwhile Jonathan first really falls for her when he first sees her using powers the way she likes to.

Carmen makes a whole garden of flowers bloom again and it's so beautiful to look at on its own, but all Jonathan is marveling at is Carmen in her element. He knows he loves her then and there.

[ginger-grimm]

Well, you already did their oldest and their middle child... I they had a kid meme for Carmen and Jonathan? 🥺💚

Yes, thank you so much!! Meet their youngest!

Name: Carlos Murray Byers

Gender: Male

General Appearance: Dark, long hair which he refuses to cut shorter than at least an ears-length, dark brown dreamy eyes, he drives the girls wild, usually dresses kinda "silly" and carefree (t-shirts with funny prints and stuff) before graduating on to more mature outfits

Personality: Enthusiastic, generous, sociable, joyful, easygoing

Special Talents: Ice hockey, creative writing, running, much knowledge of plants

Who they like better: I think he'd like Jonathan better because he's more encouraging of him going out into the world for adventures - Carmen is scared to let him do his own thing sometimes (really, it was the same issue with Willow and Josie) because of her own past

Who they take after more: It's a 50/50 split, really by the time Carlos arrives on the scene both Carmen and Jonathan have learned a lot more about parenting and, like Vanessa and Nancy, try their best to instill the best of themselves in him

Personal Head canon: Like his father, Carlos is a track runner and Jonathan is in the front stands for every competition, cheering him the hell on

For the if they had a kid meme ask game: Carmen & Jonathan, please?

@dancingsunflowers-ocs 💜

THANK YOU SO MUCH, MY DARLINGS - I ENVISION THEM WITH A COUPLE OF KIDS IN THE FUTURE, THIS IS THEIR MIDDLE CHILD

Name: Josefa "Josie" Joyce Byers

Gender: Female

General Appearance: A bit rugged, she's the 'out there' child of the bunch, takes after Carmen with darker hair but inherited the brown eyes from both parents, boots and chokers are a must

Personality: Feisty, outspoken, artistic, quick-thinking, always wandering

Special Talents: Climbing, photography, can solve a Rubik's cube in under two minutes

Who they like better: Jonathan because she feels more connected to him (though she does love Carmen as well)

Who they take after more: Aunt Vanessa Jonathan again, they're both skilled photographers, and just like her father, Josie is considered to be a bit of a loner/freak type of person in her youth

Personal Head canon: Josie, unlike her two siblings, did not inherit her mother's powers, which often makes her feel like an outcast in her own family - though Carmen makes it crystal clear to her on a daily basis that she loves her daughter immensely
