[i-am-literal-nightmare-fuel]

okay so I didn’t like Ali x Johnny, I’ll say it, it felt wrong and clunky and it was like when you get mad at a puzzle so you put two pieces of sky that don’t go together with each other

and I don’t like Shannon x Johnny it felt like when you get mad at a puzzle and- you get the point

however

Carmen x Johnny actually works

it makes sense

well, better than the other two do

they work together

4 7 AND 17!!!! -kai

HI KAI my beloved thank youuuu <3

4. Do you prefer writing multi-chapter or oneshot fanfictions?

oneshots full stop. okay well rolling stop. i love multi-chapters in theory but my god i hate the execution they take SO long to write and i have to keep so much straight and i have to pick CHAPTER TITLES and have you noticed how people are the worst about commenting on multichaps? if you post a oneshot people seem to be more likely to leave you a lovely comment with all their thoughts. post a multichapter and people won't comment 'til it's over or just leave a one-line comment like "can't wait til there's more!!" and it's like why did i even put in all this work if it was miserable to write and there's no joy in posting HUH. but also i do love when i have like one person i know is reading it and i have a reveal happening at some point or a crazy cliffhanger and i get to see their reaction to it. moth's reactions to the fey au were very fun back in the day. so yeah i'm a oneshot girlie but i keep writing ill-advised multi-chapters and telling myself "this time it will be different" (it is not different the best it gets is subreddits calling your fic "super underrated" which is not actually the compliment people think it is).

7. What’s a trope you love to write?

love to write a good college fic. found family, of course, is a big one. and hurt/comfort is my beloved.

17. Are there any writers and/or stories that you consider an influence?

writers (fic): @/rebelpeas, @/eirianerisdar, meri, laquearia, @/rarilight, @/blusandbirds, aknightley, YouAreInAComaWakeUp writers (other): maggie stiefvater, tamsyn muir, t kira madden, carmen maria machado, my sister, ann patchett, kristen arnett, edgar allen poe, lemony snicket, tolkien (obligatory), shel silverstein, probably wayne thomas batson unfortunately

stories (not book specific): the scorpio races, the secret life of bees, the twistrose key, the polar express (2004), fnaf, the oz books, home alone 2: lost in new york (1992), parallelograms by agrestenoir, pins and needles by mutterandmumble, national treasure (2004), the truman show (1998), the half of it (2020), frances ha (2012), the goose girl by shannon hale, the starcatchers series, the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe, the haunting of hill house (2018), mabel podcast, welcome to night vale podcast, alice isn't dead podcast, the odd life of timothy green (2012), moulin rouge! (2001), the spiderwick chronicles, over the garden wall (2014), the x-files, object 3921.0045.371, catalog entry by wrishwrosh, this one (well, one and a half) christmas musical production the church where i live put on (that i was in fun fact) that involved two characters reuniting after like 30 years that left an unbelievable impact on my 12 y/o brain, mlp:fim, and star trek....to name a few.

i feel like that explains both everything and nothing about my writing.

ask game!!

[torishasupremacy]

proud to announce that ive officially given myself shannon x carmen brainrot and now legitimately ship them. ive got a fic planned out and everything

[eaglelarusso]

ok but I honestly don't know who I ship with my girl Amanda anymore like her and Carmen are so cute, and then so are her and Ali and Shannon too like wtf stop being cute with every girl if they're not actually you're girlfriends

There had been a time when Johnny was actually excited about being a dad.  He knew, realistically, that his mother wouldn’t be with him for very much longer, but he had hoped at least she would be there to meet her grandson--his firstborn--and she would know that he would be alright when she was gone; that he had a family of his own to love him no matter what.  But those last terrible weeks--she had been in so much pain, her limbs swollen to twice their normal size, unable to move, unable to speak.  He overheard the hospice nurses wonder at how, and why, she was still clinging to life and he knew in his heart it was his fault.  She knew he wasn’t ready to say goodbye.  She was suffering because of him.  

When she died, it was like all the best parts of him died with her.  Every scrap of hope he had clung to that he could still make something of himself had left him.  Johnny had always been a fuck up--he knew that--but at least he was a fuck up who tried his best.  The day his mother died was the day he stopped trying.  

He knew he had no chance of making things right with Robby, but he needed to be with family.  Johnny had left Shannon to do the heavy lifting for the kid’s whole life--was it any wonder she had gone off her rocker.  He knew he didn’t stand a chance, but he had to try, because his mother hadn’t raised a quitter.

He started pounding the pavement, looking for a job, but all the applications were online now.  His computer was at the dojo and there was no way in hell he was going back there without ending up in jail--again.  Before, he would have gone to Miguel, but now...not that Carmen was ever going to let him within spitting distance of Miguel, not that he blamed her. So he went to the library.  A woman with a neck tattoo helped him look at job sites while a group of kids screamed and banged blocks together nearby.

 “I thought libraries were supposed to be quiet,” he said.  The librarian rolled her eyes.  She had a nice rack; he probably would have asked her out, but he just couldn’t get over the neck tattoo.

On his way out of the library he stopped to look at the community board in the lobby.  His eyes fell on a Help Wanted flier--an opening for a lot attendant, $17 an hour with benefits and the promise of a supportive, family-oriented workplace.

“Fuck,” Johnny sighed, snatching the flier off the board.

LaRusso’s greasy cousin spotted him the minute he set foot in the dealership.  

“Oh no,” he started, ducking behind the large desk in the front showroom.  “You gotta get out of here.  I’m calling the cops.”

“Relax, big guy,” Johnny tried to placate him.  “I’m not here to make trouble.  I just want to talk to your boss.”

Daniel was already on his way over.  He would have come across as infuriatingly poised, but Johnny knew his tells--the vein bulging in his neck, the little twitch of an eyebrow betraying that he wasn’t quite as calm as he wanted you to believe.

“What’s going on?” he asked through a forced smile, then added more quietly.  “Are you drunk?”

Johnny was, or at least he had been the night before.  He had been hungover at the library and on the walk over to the dealership in the heat he suspected he had sweated out most of the water in his body and now he was drunk again, but still not nearly as drunk as he would have liked for this conversation.

“Can we talk?”  Johnny asked, opening his arms in a placating gesture.  “Just talk; it’s about Robby.”  

LaRusso gave him a critical once-over before nodding him back toward the office.  

“I want the job,” Johnny announced the moment the door was closed, before he could lose his nerve.

“What?” LaRusso asked, startled.

“I would like the job, please,” Johnny articulated, producing the crumpled up flier from his pocket.  “I’ll wash cars, pick up trash, I’ll shine your shoes, kiss your ass, whatever you want, okay?  I need a job.  Please.”

LaRusso blinked, his expression still lingering somewhere between surprise and disgust.

“I thought this was about Robby,” he said.

“This is about Robby,” Johnny explained.  “I need a job and a new place before the judge will let me bring him home.  They got him living with strangers--I don’t know if they’re treating him right--”

“Have you talked to him?”

“I went to see him last week, but I only got to talk to him for a minute,” Johnny admitted.  

“Well, what did he say?” LaRusso asked.

“He says he’s alright, but I don’t know,” Johnny said.  “Robby always says he’s fine when he’s not.  Ever since he was a little kid, it was like he thought it was his job to take care of me and Shan.”

LaRusso didn’t say anything, but he offered Johnny a sympathetic shrug.

“Plus, the lady they got taking care of him hit me with a bat,” Johnny added.

“Did you deserve it?” LaRusso asked.

“What do you mean, did I deserve it?” Johnny snapped.  “She hit me with a bat.  Twice.”

“You do have that effect on people, Johnny,” LaRusso said.

“If she’ll hit me, maybe she’ll hit Robby, too, you know?” Johnny said.  “She didn’t want me to see him.”

LaRusso nodded.  “If she’s keeping you from visitation, you need to get CPS involved.  Especially if you think she might be getting physical with Robby.”

“Well,” Johnny admitted guiltily.  “Maybe that’s not exactly how it happened.”

“Then what happened?” LaRusso asked.  

“Maybe I was a little late for visitation,” he admitted.

LaRusso blinked.  “How late were you?”

Johnny shrugged.  “Maybe twelve hours?”

“Johnny,” LaRusso snapped.  “You know you can’t do that!”

Johnny had every intention of showing up for his visitation appointment on time, with bells on, but when it was time to get ready he got so nervous about seeing Robby again--the kid probably hated him; he had every right.  So he had a few drinks to calm down, and then he had a few more.  He knew showing up smelling like booze would only cause more problems so he figured he’d try sleeping it off.  So when he woke up at noon on Monday, he figured the best thing to do would be to head down and try to explain himself in person.  Maybe he could still make it up to Robby.  

“He’s my kid, LaRusso,” Johnny said.  “I want to make this right.  That’s why I need this job.  Please.”

LaRusso offered him a sympathetic grimace.  

“Johnny,” he started.  “How many points do you have on your license?”

Johnny deflated.  It had all been for nothing.  He had bared his soul to Daniel LaRusso of all people and it had all been for nothing.  

“Whatever, thanks anyway,” Johnny sighed.  Maybe he could at least raid the popcorn machine on his way out.

“Listen,” LaRusso started up again.  “If you’re that desperate, maybe we can still find a place for you here--for Robby.  Not anything glamorous, but something.”

Johnny chuckled.  “Does it look like I do glamorous?”

Sam LaRusso x Miguel Diaz

( Binary Boyfriends + RobbyxDoug + lawrusso + Carmanda ) part 2

.... ...

Sam thought it wasn't that bad being forced to go on a triple date . She gets to see Miguel ,  that reminds her to text him to bring her favorite hoodie of his . They would be leaving at 7 and by the time they would come back she would be cold .

Letting her dad know she was going out , she goes to her room to get ready . Deciding on a black blouse and jeans with some black sandals that her mom. bought her last week . They started their shopping an annual thing including Carmen .

She was glad that both parents were happy as well . Carmen was awesome and beautiful as her mom . Her little brother was upset at first but he's getting used to it , he decided to stay with mom after the divorce .

She was more closer to her dad , so she thought it was best for her to stay with him . Soon after Mr. Lawrence moved in , and then Robby came along as well . Sometimes Robby stays with Shannon when he's allowed .

They have Sunday dinners  that consisted of her dad , mom , Mr.Lawrence,  Carmen , Miguel , her brother and Robby . Sometimes Demetri comes along if he isn't hanging out with Hawk

Demetri has sleepover visitation and he can stay as long as he wants . His foster mom isn't the best , so dad makes sure Demetri is alright .

Demetri was her best friend aside from Aisha , Aisha is usually now with Tory now they had became an item .

But Demetri was more like another brother that sometimes annoys her but she loves dearly . She would always have his back as well Robby would . And if Demetri needed them to feel comfortable on this important date , well let it be it .

....... ........ Miguel Pov ...... ....... .....

Grabbing his hoodie for Sam , he  bid his goodbye to YaYa once she gives him la bendicion . Quickly texting Sam that they were heading out already , pocketing his phone and keys inside his pocket of his jeans .

He walks out until he reaches the dojo , scanning to see if Hawk was there . He hears him first before he sees him . Guess they both got there at the same time .

" El Serpiente ! "

" Hey man , you nervous for your first date with your first crush ever ! ."

" pftt me ! Nervous ! no way ! I'm chill ."

He gave him his signature ' really bitch ' . Guess he had to refresh his memory of yesterday that he ruined for him to hang out with Sam .

" Yeah chill like yesterday , you were shiting bricks to ask out your life time best friend because you had enough of watching yasmine flirt with Demetri . "

" Receipts or it didn't happen " Oh he really wants to go there , pretending to reach for his phone to show evidence of said events . Watching the smug look disappear and replaced embarrassment.

" Guess I will then "

" Okay ! stop ! I'm really nervous I just don't want to ruin this date . Although I imagined our date to be the two of us , but I guess you can keep me in check if I fuck up . And also hopefully Doug won't cause a scene . "

" Don't worry , whats a wingman for ? " Smiling as they do their cool handshake . Hearing a  car coming close they realise it's Doug . Quickly jogging to hop in , putting  music on to get their confidence and mood on .

.... .... ...

So far so good , Hawk and Doug didn't make a scene once he realised his date was Robby.  Sam was perfect as always, they both tried to ease the air with some casual conversations .

 Throwing out compliments for everyone . And if Sam and him weren't OTP then he didn't know what will . Although number 1 OTP would be Sensei and Mr. LaRusso , nobody  could ever be better than those two .

Hes going off topic , Now here they are sacrificing their day to helping out their friends that are in need to become a couple for they could all finally rest at night and not wonder when those two idiots will realise their feelings ....

At least for him .

Anywho , Robby and Doug seemed not to get the memo of getting rid of the awkwardness.  Looking at Sam , communicating through his mind and eyes for the others wouldn't hear . He could try whispering but he can't risk it .

He totally didn't blush when the waitress caught him making weird faces as she came over to take their orders.

.... ..... ...

" That was embarrasing ! "

" What ! Easy for you to say she only saw me , you had your back towards her . "

He pouted to prove a point and looking at the other way . Giggling as she hold his hand , trying to make him look at her . She tells him she's sorry and promise to buy him ice cream .

Miguel could only ignoring Sam's cute voice and big blue eyes and obviously ice cream for so long . As reward she gives him a quick kiss .

" I love you  . "

" I love you too Sammy."

..... .... ..

His excuse that he would give to sensei would be that he wasn't involve with the disappearance of Robby.  He was there and then in a second he wasn't.  Or .......

He could just put the blame on Hawk , he will be missed .

They all decided to get ice cream as they all came to conclusion that both Robby and Doug would come back . Doug didn't take his car , keys and wallet was there . He has to come back for it , guess now they are all having ice cream as he was promised .

" I don't know about you but this ice cream was the best I've had . Maybe because I shared with you . "

His heart still beats so fast when Sam says cute cheesy things , but he couldn't help but tease a little about it . It was payback for the incident at the dinner .

" Yeah same but mainly because it was free , Ow ! " 

He almost tripped from the sudden push she gave him . Laughing at the cute glare she was giving him . He runs after her once she decides to walk faster to Hawk and Demetri .

" I'm kidding ! I love everything more when your part of it . Especially when you give me kisses . "

" Even Eskimo kisses "

" Especially those but you can't tell anyone it would ruin my status . "

Their joking banter stops when Demetri questions out loud if that was Doug carrying Robby . It was hard when the shorter of the two had his head tucked in and both had their hoodies up . Sam calls out to them , it's confirmed when they look at their direction , showing their faces .

...... ...... Sam ........

 " Robby are you okay ? Where were you two , we were worried . ! " 

" I'm alright Sam , Me and Doug went for a walk and I hurt my ankle , hence why Doug is giving me a piggyback ride . "

" Oh I thought you decided to climb him like a tree cause - "

" Demetri ! " Robby tightens his arms around Doug while  shouting to make Demetri quiet  . By the looks they hit it off , Letting the taller boy take Robby to her car , she says goodbye to Hawk and Miguel .

" Today was a success , and all thanks to you for giving the push hawk needed to finally ask out Demitri . "

She swings their hands around wanting to make their time last . Miguel hugs her as he talks .

" Thank you ! But I couldn't do it without you making Yasmine flirt with Demetri . We make a great team ! . "

" Sam , look ! " By hearing Demetri voice she turns around to the direction of her car where she sees Robby kiss Doug . Turning around giving Miguel one last time before saying goodbye .

Entering the car , she ask if Robbys ok . Once giving the signal to Demetri to voice out their thoughts , she laughs the whole ride at home listening to Robby and Demetri argue .

.

Sidenote : This Part 2 of triple date . Side mention of Lawrusso and Carmanda. Thank you to @oceluna for the boost of confidence!! . Kinda wrote Miguel a lil bit like xolo funny personality in here . Also Aisha x Tory mentioned . Hope you guys like it !

Cobra Kai for the fandom meme ❤️

send me a fandom and i’ll tell you… @vypcr

the first character i ever fell in love with: Miguel!

a character that i used to love/like, but now do not: I would have to rewatch and get back to you.

a ship that i used to love/like, but now do not: Ali x Johnny maybe? Shannon x Johnny? IDK. It's not that I dislike them or hate them but they're not at the top of my list.

my ultimate favorite character™: Miguel.

prettiest character: Lark Leung ;)

my most hated character: Kreese and Silver though the rpérs on this site do a magnificent job with them!

my OTP: damiko! daniel and amanda! johnny and carmen! lark x johnny x carmen. daniel x carmen x johnny. daniel x amanda x johnny x carmen. daniel x kumiko x johnny. daniel x kumiko x johnny x carmen. as for the kids: samiguel, miguel x hawk; tory x robby; robby x sam; sam x hawk; demetri x yasmin; sam x tory, maybe? robby x miguel, also maybe? miguel x tory. aisha x being happy. moon x piper. moon x hawk. i'm a multishipper through and through and i also could definitely see my muse with some of the kids tm! ;P

my NOTP: It's not so much a notp, because they have history and I get the appeal, I truly do but I only like Lawrusso if Carmen and/or Amanda isn't/aren't shunted off to the side to make them happen, if that makes sense? In a lot of fandoms, women get vilified for getting in the way of popular m/m ships. Especially if both men are white and/or attractive. Especially if the woman is a woman of color.

favorite episode: The one where Daniel went to Japan and saw Kumiko and Chozen again.

saddest death: Tommy.

favorite season: I don't know I like all the seasons.

least favorite season: I don't think I have one?

character that everyone else in the fandom loves, but i hate: none.

my ‘you’re piece of trash, but you’re still a fave’ fave: Johnny.

my ‘beautiful cinnamon roll who deserves better than this’ fave: Carmen, Kumiko.

my ‘this ship is wrong, nasty, and makes me want to cleanse my soul, but i still love it’ ship: none.

my ‘they’re kind of cute, and i lowkey ship them, but i’m not too invested’ ship: The Binary Brothers are more of a brotp than an otp to me.

[torishasupremacy]

okay I started shipping carmen and shannon (sharmen? canon?) as a joke but I dont think its a joke anymore because im legitimately into the idea that after johnny and carmen break up carmen meets a woman she really likes and gets along with well because I think once shannon gets out of rehab she’s gonna be a lot more functional as both a person and a mom (she did notice what silver was up to and reach out to johnny about it bc she was worried about robby) and I think it would be absolutely hilarious if shannon and carmen dont recognize each other from the one very brief interaction they’ve had and instead become besties and then girlfriends and it’s only then does carmen realize she’s robby’s mom. And then she has to figure out how to tell miguel that she’s dating again and it’s his almost-stepbrother/rival’s mom instead of his dad this time. The implication that carmen’s type is “robby’s parents” is also fucking sending me
