Johnny and Bobby in The Karate Kid (1984) and Cobra Kai (2018-2025)

[zappedbyzabka]

There’s something very scrumptious about Daniel staring at Johnny, who’s surrounded by the cobras who are also staring at Johnny, but him still being the one Johnny locks eyes with—and that being the reason the Cobras decide to even acknowledge Daniel is there—watching. “Why is Johnny not paying attention to us rn? Oh :|”

[perplexed-angel]

so when the brothers got older would John just leave them in a town for a month or so and hit a load of hunts nearby? Because most hunts only take a few days yet their only on their 3rd school of the year

[bibuckagenda]

Madney are so in love with each other I’m gonna sob

[sam-and-dean-codependency]

I always see people talking about early seasons Dean interacting with late seasons Sam and that's fun but sometimes I wonder about other characters. Obviously John is the main one but what about early Bobby? Pastor Jim? Jo? Ellen? Ash? Pamela? Heck even early Cas could have interesting opinions.

Idk I'm just having thoughts

For the wips Break the loop

So as stated before this fic is currently abandoned. Honestly can't say if I'll ever go back to it. We'll see. Anywho... here is another snippet.

Eddie internally rolled his eyes.  Evan wasn’t lost.  He was running. Most likely hiding out until the nosy town members pulled their attention away. Mr. Nash nodded but was probably thinking the same as Eddie. “Yea, he’ll come around eventually, so introductions can be made later. Robert Nash, but everyone calls me Bobby or Cap.” He stuck a large hand out. Both the Mayor and his father shook it.  “Welcome to Harmony Bobby.  I’m Gavin Johnson, we spoke on the phone.  This here is our pastor, Ramon Diaz.” “Ah, thank you for coming out here to meet me, Father Diaz.” Ramon laughed and shook his head, “None of that here. Just call me Ramon.  Guess this means we’ll be seeing you and your son on Sunday?” Bobby grimaced slightly and rubbed the back of his neck, “Ah well, you will most definitely see me. But my son… look I’m going to be perfectly honest here. Evan hasn’t had the easiest life before I adopted him, so his outlook on belief and God is,” he shook his head. Eddie, alongside his father and the Mayor starred at the fire captain in surprise.  Shannon just looked mildly interested but wasn’t too bothered by this whole situation. “Oh, Evan isn’t biologically yours?” Mr. Johnson asked. It was completely insensitive and rude, and Eddie almost smacked the mayor in the back of the head.  “Mayor Johnson, I suggest you apologize.” Ramon reprimanded, “A child does not need to share blood to be loved.”

#this man is an actual christian in that he's living the actual teachings of christ #the evangelicals are charlatans who do not honor god or christ #what christ taught above all else was radical love #love and compassion for every person on earth #christ taught in a spirit of inclusion and generosity and helping #christ would storm the evangelical churches and overturn their tables and defy them for their lies and their greed and their hate #christ has been falsely turned into a weapon against the very people he stood up for #it makes me angry and it makes me unbelievably sad #christ taught love above all and it's so wrong that that has been lost

I'm very much a Christian (not going to hide or apologize for that), but like another person reblogging this said: to me it goes hand in hand with being very progressive and liberal -- and it's baffling how many so-called "Christians" take it in the other direction.

I HARD AGREE with all the above tags, and with the original posts by Rev. Benjamin Cremer. I wish more Christians were REAL Christians, like this guy. I wish it was easier for me to find a church with real Christian values and a pastor LIKE THIS GUY. I wish being queer and liberal and an ally to other marginalized groups didn't make me an outcast among the very people who are *supposed to be* my "brothers and sisters in Christ."

I’m an atheist. I despise evangelical christians. That said, if more christians were like this guy, I imagine there would be a lot less misery in the world.

Bobby sighting !!!!!! Ahhh I wonder if it’s what I think it is

[gl-cult-archives]

Bro. Bobby Roberson pastored Gospel Light Baptist Church for over 61 years until he passed in 2018. (1956-2018)

[zappedbyzabka]

Thinking about the fact that the Cobras really were in the palm of Johnny’s hand.

Always surrounding him—smiling at everything he did; even if Bobby thought he went too far, he’d still end up smiling.

The way they wouldn’t have bothered Daniel or even really noticed him if Johnny hadn’t been so upset at him. Had Tommy not thought it would have been funny to point out the dude Ali was with because just maybe he thought Johnny looked...neat when he was angry.

With the constant touching and unconditional enjoyment for everything he does, I like to think those boys had some repressed not so platonic feelings about him.

Their characters had so little information about them, but what we do know is that they adored Johnny, one way or the other.

I’m so normal about this. (Just gifs of them⬇️)

[hippychick006]

A++++ casting, would love to have seen more from their relationship.

Dude, I full-on Swayze'd that mother.

John & Mary used to call Dean their “little piglet” because he liked to eat so much. [13.21 (this is technically in a dream of Sam's)]

Mary would feed Dean tomato-rice soup when he was sick. [5.13]

They know Pastor Jim by this point. [1.18]

Dean: "You couldn't been more than 5— you just started asking questions. How come we didn't have a mom? Why do we always have to move around? Where'd Dad go when he'd take off for days at a time? I remember I begged you, 'Quit asking, Sammy. Man, you don't want to know.... I just wanted you to be a kid... Just for a little while longer. I always tried to protect you... Keep you safe... Dad didn't even have to tell me. It was just always my responsibility, you know? It's like I had one job... I had one job...'" [2.22]

Dean and Sam (5) play dress up as Batman and Superman and jump of the roof of a shed. Sam breaks his arm and Dean takes him to the E.R. on the handlebars of his bike. [9.15 (mentioned again in 11.08)]

At some point before now Dean is given his first beer by Fred Jones in Salt Lake City. [8.08. He also apparently gives Sam his first beer too but it's unlikely it was this same time?]

In the flash back Rufus guesses the year is around 1989. “No, we didn't shoot rifles, as a matter of fact. We threw a ball around. He's a kid, John. They both are. They're entitled.... Yeah, I know I ain't their dad.” Bobby hangs up and throws the phone down. [7.10]

Dean says he believed the TV ads about Sea Monkeys having families [5.06]

Dean mentions a babysitter, Mrs Chancy, who was obsessed with the TV show Dynasty [5.06], which ran until 1989 when Dean was ten. This could be a lie he's just telling a kid to get him to open up about his babysitter though.

"Alright, here we go. John Winchester's famous cure-all kitchen sink stew. There you go. Enough cayenne pepper in there to burn your lips off, just like Dad used to make." [8.21]

"You used to read to me, um, when I was little, I— I mean, really little, from that— from that old, uh... Classics Illustrated comic book. You remember that? ... Knights of the Round Table. Had all of King Arthur's knights, and they were all on the quest for the Holy Grail. And I remember looking at this picture of Sir Galahad, and, and, and he was kneeling, and— and light streaming over his face..." [8.21]

“You used to take us hunting. Remember? Dad had a case, he'd just dump us on you. Shoot, you must have taught us most of the outdoor tracking we know.” Bobby: “Yeah, what I could get to stick. I never could get you little grubs to pull a trigger on a single deer.” Dean: “You’re talking about Bambi, man.” Bobby: “You don't shoot Bambi, jackass. You shoot Bambi's mother.” [7.09]

“Not young like I was when he actually taught me how to drive.” [15]

Dean says soft rock always put Sam to sleep. [7.16]

Dean: “I know things got dicey… you know, with dad… the way he was. And I just… I didn’t always look out for you the way that I should’ve. I mean, I had my own stuff, you know. In order to keep the peace, it probably looked like I took his side quite a bit. Sometimes when I was… when I was away, you know it wasn’t ‘cause I just ran out, right? Dad would… he would send me away when I really pissed him off. I think you knew that.” [14.12]
