Rewatching the episode and just- the pure joy on Sandra Lynn's face when she's talking to Adaine during the ice cream party.

Imagine you're her. The weirdness going on at your work is the least of your issues. The man who ruined your life is back in Elmville and regularly interacting with a kid you have guardianship of, who's around the age you were when he started abusing you. You're freaking out, but you have to maintain a calm face for the kids around you who don't know.

Then, your adopted-step-daughter throws an ice cream party to say thank you to you and all the other adults who took her in. Finally, you have a chance to relax. A second to breathe in the swirling vortex of stress that is your current life. To her, it's just an ice cream party, but to you, it's everything.

Hey could you do SMAU for Toto Wolff x wife reader? With his busy schedule , there's not enough time to be together as a family so she and their son, Jack surprise him at the paddock?Just something fluff and cute. Add something you'd like. Thanks!

A/N: hope you like it, anon! i added something i'd like - carey mulligan lol. sorry if it's a bit short! CW: pregnancy, mentions of nausea

ynwolff it's missing my husband hours again, come home soon!

mercedesamgf1 putting him on a plane as we speak, Mrs Boss!

georgerussell63 do you miss us too yn?

ynwolff ...yes george

As much as it pained you to admit it, being away from your husband this much this often bothered you. Toto always apologised and treated you and your newborn son, Jack, like royalty when he was home. When you were pregnant, the nausea stopped you from flying to races with Toto, and you knew he was desperate to show off your little bundle of joy to everyone. With Austria, his home race, coming up, you knew what you had to do.

f1wagsupdates yn wolff was seen arriving in the paddock today with her son jack!

Was it a good idea to take a newborn to the paddock? Probably not, but it was worth it for the look on Toto's face when you walked into the garage, Jack safe in your arms. "Liebling? What are you doing here?" Toto asked as he took Jack into his arms, every woman in the room swooning as he cuddled the tiny baby. "Surprise?" You replied, "I just missed you, that's all" Toto kissed you, then, and you found the world's smallest ear defenders for your son.

ynwolff it's tradition that jack comes to austria now. it is, after all, where his papa is from.

mercedesamgf1 austria wouldn't be the same without the wolff cub!

ynwolff next year there'll be two wolff cubs!

"If the goal of this game is who can be in the Middle, I'm gonna lose so fucking hard it's going to blow your fucking mind" I love you so much Mr Mulligan thank you for your incredible energy

[podcastwizard]

realized that in both of my wips rn the villain is essentially capitalism and thought maybe i should branch out until i remembered mr. brennan lee mulligan. king of writing stories about the evils of capitalism thank you for your service

[dead-potato-monster]

thank you mr. brennan lee mulligan.

ngl, genuinely felt inspired after hearing that.

[pb-dot]

This latest Adventuring Party really drove home my favorite aspect of Brennan's DMing style. He genuinely loves seeing his players succeed, even against odds he considered to be nigh insurmountable.

Let's take the Last Stand as an example. Now, Brennan made no secret out of the Last Stand encounter being very hard, and for people who do not play D&D it may even seem like he overhyped it, but from a mechanics standpoint, the CR, functionally the difficulty rating of this battle royale was sky-high. Yeah, none of the Bad Kids went down, but that is entirely thanks to a combination of excellent strategic play from the Intrepid Heroes and some choice luck.

To mention some of the game changer moves, the Scatter spell really re-defined the battlefield more favorably for the Bad Kids, the disguise self was a value proposition because it split the flying monsters, which was the greatest threat to the proctor by far, in two, functionally halving the threat to the squishy normie, not to mention dealing with the mega-mosquitos in combo with Spirit Guardians. Those little flying bastards would have been such a pain in the ass if Fig didn't bug zapper them to kingdom come. And the bless. Dear god, the Bless saved so many asses in this encounter.

This isn't to say magic was the only thing that defined the battlefield. The single-target damage dealers did some truly astounding numbers and managed their attention and abilities shockingly well. Yeah, Gorgug crit like a madman, but he also tanked like three or four non-barb PCs worth of effective HP damage without going down even once. If he had failed his saves and gotten eaten by the Purple Worm things would have gotten nasty for him, but again, the touch of luck (and bless) saw him through.

So, this is all to say that this was an encounter meant to kick the players' ass. Not an unwinnable one, evidently, but this was supposed to be a considerably worse experience even without getting into the non dice-roll exam questions. And how does Brennan react when the Intrepid Heroes put their game face all the way on, get really smart with their level 1 spell slots, and dismantle the whole thing? He's overjoyed, he's cheering for his strange adventure children, and we're cheering with him because frankly it's rad as hell.

This illustrates one nuance I feel sometimes gets glossed over about the DM-player relationship. A lot of people have talked about how Junior Year is the "Revenge of Brennan" or what have you, and I feel that kind of misses the central appeal of DMing and Brennan's style in D20 in particular. Yes, Mr Mulligan enjoys playing the heel on occasion. It's good fun to play the personification of everything going wrong and the inherent shittiness of the world, but like the wrestler heels, all that wicked charisma is meant to do one thing, and that is build up the faces, or the players in this case.

Now, the ghost of Gary Gygax may come after me for this, but I firmly believe it's not the DMs job to kill the player characters, or even to inconvenience or torment them. A good DM's job is to make it seem like they're going to kill the player characters, as to provide an environment for the players to succeed, a challenge for them to overcome. It's all one big improv exercise (or kink scene if you prefer to view it that way), where the DM derives their (near)absolute authority over the world the PCs inhabit from the shared understanding that they're going to show the players a spectacular, if not on occasion harrowing, time.

This is Brennan's biggest strength as a DM I think. He genuinely wants to make a spectacular time for his friends, and he understands that to do that he must on occasion be the monster they oppose, and on occasion he must be their breathless cheerleader. On occasion, one imagines, he must also be both.

@undocumented-terriaki you’re the only person on this godforsaken website i respect

saw someone somewhere say that stacy fakename is secretly flight and i am officially saying that i wholeheartedly agree

[purrassicjet]

The tone shift between the still light and joyful "What?" and the concerned-aggressive "What do you mean she has five jobs?" is PEAK acting from Brennan everyone say thank you Mr Mulligan

[happyunbday2u]

So I saw Venom and oh my god did that movie almost make me cry-

• venom liking the dogs and saying he won’t eat them was strangely cute

• “We. Are-“ “WE ARE A VENOM!” “..We. Are-“ “VENOM!” “No-“ “OH” “Yeah.” “We-“ “WE” “Are” “VENOM” “We need to work on that”

• How the fuck did Mulligan survive? I thought he was dead

• OMG THERES MORE SYMBIOTES

• I have an urge to draw the venom horse and all the other animals but the motivation to do it is so LOOOOOWW

• I understand that Dr. Payne sees the symbiotes as these amazing creatures and that her main goal is to fully understand them but ma’am when a soldier tells you he lost three people because of some other freaky ass alien you do not ask if he can collect any samples

• The Moon Family seems like the type of family I’d hang out with tho why would you name your kids Echo and Leaf and OH MY GOD RHYS IFANS IS THE DAD HOLY SHIT

• For anyone who doesn’t know actos he played Dr. Curtis Conners/Lizard in the Amazing Spider-Man with Andrew Garfield

• Venom singing along in Eddie’s head with the family is funny and cute to me

• “you would’ve been a great father, eddie”

• Guys I think Venom has a gambling addiction also he canonlly thinks that Eddie looks like someone who would win the Sexiest Man Alive award

• MRS CHEN!!!!!

• Also when did they learn to dance in sync?

• The shoe gag is so funny to me and idk if that��s cause my humor is broken or it’s actually funny

• Oh look it’s the Moon family again I sure hope nothing traumatizing happens to them 😃

• OH MY GOD MORE SYMBIOTES THEYRE SO COOL AND THEIR DESIGNS ARE SO- NOOOO WHY ARE THEY DYING

• Venom being so nice to the little kid will forever be cherished by me

• Holy Shit Dr. Payne has her own symbiote

• The fact that Venom still protected Eddie even as he was about to die was the saddest part of the movie and there’s no way it could get sadder-

• “Hey buddy, I just had a crazy dream… buddy?” "He’s not coming back." "But I need him back." "He wasn't meant for this place, you couldn't have kept him. and he couldn't have kept you."

• At least Eddie made it to New York and saw Lady Liberty just like Venom wanted and wHO THE FUCK CHOSE MEMORIES FROM MAROON 5 AS THE SONG FOR THAT SCENE?!?

This movies was amazing and now we all say thank you tom hardy for making this movie, tho I would like to see Eddie helping Payne with her symbiote

Venom: The Last Dance

This movie.

Has.

Broken me.

WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

I know I have a lot more backlogged movies to review in my drafts section, but I watched this movie last weekend and I am still recovering from the depression I feel from watching this movie.

The story itself and the in-between pacing, to be fair, is a little bit mellow and a little bit dragged out. I mean, I get it, we're looking at the perspective where it has only been a year (a year? Really? Only that long? I thought it felt longer) in this movie universe timeline since Eddie and Venom's relationship began, so not much extra development can be said other than the fact that they have to be on the run and the plot sorta takes place almost straight after the events of Venom 2, but come on. I thought it would've been a little bit more of an exciting adventure than just running around getting drunk, getting over hangovers, losing and acquiring shoes (which is a pretty funny gag, ngl) and just traveling and hitchhiking in the middle of the desert.

The part where Venom hitchhiked on a plane to get to NY was pretty hilarious though, and the part where Venom infects a horse to give Eddie a faster ride kinda reminds me of their bike scene in the first movie, and that was pretty epic. Them having to get away from Strickland's men and wrestling with them in the water was also pretty exciting, and I was like screaming internally for Venom to quickly reach Eddie before he drowns or dies or get caught, got my heart pumping there.

When they added Martin Moon and his hippie family into the mix, tbh, they were technically kinda an unnecessary plot device. I mean, I guess they were sorta just there to give the human element? To fill the gap that was supposed to Eddie's ex-fiance's spot that she had been occupying for the first 2 movies? Yeah, totally unnecessary. They could've just have a very short scene of him hitchhiking with Martin (or any other person for that matter) without needing to delve into their character development or building any sort of bond, and just leave it at that and not get them involved in any part of the alien battle, that would've been fine.

Also, there can be no Venom without Mrs Chen LOL Their little dance scene was maybe a little cringe, but at the same time it was just hilarious and cute at the same time

The other symbiotes were interesting and got me guessing which symbiote is which based on the colour and my limited knowledge of other symbiote characters (thanks to Wiki and Tumblr), though I couldn't remember when exactly was the part where Mulligan got infected by a symbiote, but then the story had him infused with another symbiote to save his life, which felt a little odd since I've never seen this version of a symbiote anywhere in the comics or online, and that symbiote kinda reminds me a little bit of that fish man character in The Shape of Water LOL

The Xenophage alien was pretty cool and brutal at the same time, and the symbiotes, after they merged with the humans (which included Christmas and Teddy), look really really cool. It's a shame the fight scene on that one was a little short. Could've worked in a bit more fight scenes with the other symbiotes, and Teddy/Agony moment was also kinda short, but Christmas' symbiote was pretty awesome. I have a feeling her and Mulligan's symbiote were sorta an OC of sorts coz they defo did not seem to exist in any research I've seen of the symbiote characters.

And don't tell me I didn't see the attraction between Teddy and Christmas. My gaydar for men maybe a little weak, but my gaydar for women seems pretty spot on between them.

The climax. OMG the climax. The part where Eddie and Venom agreed that as long as they're both alive, Knull would just keep sending in more Xenophages, and Venom sacrificed himself and tossed Eddie out so he can die along with the Xenophage army, and when he said "Goodbye for now" instead of "Goodbye" like in the first movie... and then this scene...

I just cried. I cried and I died and my heart was just ripped to pieces as I watch Venom just melt before my eyes. The sacrifice he made for his Eddie. The way he said "I'll never forget you" and "Don't forget me either". I cannot. I just cannot...

And the ending scene where Eddie wakes up in the military hospital and realized Venom is no longer in his head for reals, the way he said "I need him", and the way he walks through the city alone with flashbacks of him and Venom from all three movies while Maroon 5's "Memories" was playing in the background? Oh god, it just broke me into more pieces and I cried even more. I've never cried harder than I've ever cried for a ship. The last time I cried this hard is when Dreamworks killed my Toothcup ship, and now this? I'm crying even harder. I'm still crying now as I'm typing this. I will never hear this song or feel about it the same way ever again.

The only other beef/nitpick I have for this movie is that the villain Knull was kinda weak. He hardly had any role in the movie, and it was just wasted cameo by Andy Serkis in there. All he basically did was just sit there in one spot and just sent the Xenophages to do the dirty work, which any Tom-Dick-Harry villain can do. I know now that's they're sorta setting him up as an intro character like they tried to do with Kraven, so hopefully? Maybe? Knull would end up in more of the SSU verse and also maybe MCU's upcoming new Spiderman film that'll be in 2026? Hope so.

Also, why did they need to end this amazing franchise?? They have so much more potential. When they put the end credit scene in which Eddie/Venom woke up in the MCU verse, I was hoping that it would spark a nice crossover movie or two about Peter "Tom Holland" Parker would have to deal with Venom and have an adventure or two (or three, or four, I'm not complaining). Let Spidey and Venom have their hero-villain rivalry moment before Venom slowly becomes established as an anti-hero or something.

Remember one of the end credit scenes in Spiderman where Eddie and Venom gets sent back to their universe thanks to Dr Strange's spell and a small piece of Venom was left behind? I've heard rumours about maybe that would be the tie in for SSU and MCU and for Venom to return and shine, but I also know it may be that MCU wants to have their take on a Venom for Tom Holland's Spidey, but to go through all that all over again with another new backstory for Venom and another character playing Venom? No. No way. There is no one else that can be a better Venom. Tom Hardy's Venom or bust.

Anyone who stayed all the way to the end to see the end credits for Venom 3 (seriously, the credit role was way too long though), there is a hint that the tiny piece of Venom that Strickland had captured when Venom also left behind at the bar in his universe maybe free, and that there is hope that this Venom would make his way back to Eddie and they can become whole again but still, they said that this was the final installment of the SSU Venom franchise, so...

Fuck you, Sony.

You and Dreamworks have officially killed another ship of mine.

I love and hate this movie at the same time and I. AM. BAWLING.

Word Count: 2.4k

A/N: This was at 1.9k but then I added a cute scene and I'm so happy with it! I love Eli and Reader's relationship, they're so freaking adorable it makes me sick! I'm glad I'm able to push these chapters out, glad you're enjoying them!

Thank you to those who already reblog and comment, I see you and I love you all for it!

I don't consent to this work being copied, translated or reposted.

It was a beautiful day on the beach. Sun shining down, breeze blowing away the heat, the sand soft under your feet, and the waves crashing on the shore.

You watched Demitri crane his neck as he got ready to serve. So much wind up for him just to hit the net. You dropped your head, hiding a laugh. 

“Mulligan, send it back,” Demitri said. 

“There’s no mulligans in volleyball,” Eli said from the other side of the net.

“Says you,” Demitri argued before he stalked off. “Water break.” 

Sighing, you walked closer to the net just in time to see a girl hit on Demitri after assuming he was part of Cobra Kai. 

Going along with it, Demitri pretended to be part of the famous dojo.

Once the girls left, you chuckled, patting him on the shoulder. “Seems like you have a few admirers,” you beamed. 

“It’d be actually nice if you earned the Cobra Kai cred you’re so happy to take,” Eli stated, not amused. “When are you gonna sign up?”

“I don’t know. I’m kinda enjoying the gain without the pain,” he smirked.

You raised your brow. 

Before being given a chance to respond, Miguel showed up, pulling Eli’s attention away. 

“Cobra Kai would be more fun with you,” you hiked your shoulders, offering your friend a smile. “You could be badass like me,” you playfully jabbed a few punches at him.

He frowned at you. “You were inside a cement truck the other day,” he deadpanned.

You laughed. “And it made me stronger,” you shrugged. “Maybe it could tone up your noodle arms,” you joked.

He sent you a look. 

Shaking your head, you walked over to greet Eli. 

“Wait till you get a load of this, babe,” Eli said.

“What is it?” 

“Robby Keene is Sensei’s son.”

~

Stretching next to Eli, you reached for your foot, feeling your hamstrings stretch. The conversation you were having was a continuation of the revealed information on Sensei’s lineage.

You were shocked to hear about it. You never considered Sensei to be a dad and even now as you assessed the situation, you figured there was more to the story considering Keene was mentored by his father’s enemy.

“So I did a deep dive online and you were right,” Eli began. “Sensei’s definitely Keene’s father.”

You blew out a breath. 

So much drama to unpack. 

“I just don’t understand why he wouldn’t tell us,” Miguel sighed.

“It explains why he’s giving us shit for kicking Keene’s ass at the tournament,” your boyfriend scoffed.

You pursed your lips together in thought. “Umm, I don’t think that was the reason,” you disagreed. 

Both boys sent you a look.

You rolled your eyes. “I just think it’s more than what we’re assuming,” you shrugged.

“It’s simple. Show no mercy unless it’s his son,” Eli said, kinda aggravated that you didn’t agree with him.

You shook yourself out of the conversation, focusing on your stretching.

“Did you guys see the commercial?” Aisha walked up to the three of you. “Sam’s dad started his own dojo and he disses Cobra Kai,” she handed Miguel her phone.

Listening, you could hear the little joke “snake in the grass”. You were more shocked that Mr. LaRusso actually said it than feeling any anger at all.

“Bet it was Keene that suggested that,” Eli scoffed. 

“What the hell were they even thinking? Karate is all about defense?” Aisha furrowed her brows, getting her phone back. “Yet you throw a pussy move like that in your commercial?”

You exhaled. “Are we going to strike back? Seems only fair,” you suggested. You had to, you figured. If Miyagi-Do’s willing to throw a hit-or-miss joke in their commercial, clearly poking the bear, you had to go in with your own play. 

That’s how the idea of creating a commercial for Cobra Kai came about.

Now Aisha was filming Sensei as he advertised why joining Cobra Kai would be badass.

You stood next to Eli and Miguel as the video recorded, impressed at how easily Sensei was able to sell it. 

He was clear-cut, straight to the point—something you admired from having him as your sensei.

“And cut,” Aisha said, ending the recording.

“All right, did we get it?”

“I think so,” she stared at her phone, making sure the video was captured.

“Great, just make sure the Cobra Kai snake comes in at the end. I really want it to pop, make it chrome,” he stalked towards his office. “And throw “Thunderstruck” under it,” he added.

You raised your brows in amusement, wondering if he would be able to afford the rights for it.

“I think the rights for that song cost too much,” Aisha stated.

“No, I already own it, cassette’s in the car,” he pointed. “Oh and put one of those hash browns on it, like “Hash brown Team Cobra Kai,” he gestured. “And then send it to the internet!” 

You snickered. 

Eli and Miguel left to go talk to Sensei about his son so you made your way over to Aisha. 

“You think we could manage to get more female recruits at Valley Fest?” You asked her. 

She was putting her phone away, a smile appearing on her face. “Oh I’m planning on that, we seriously need more estrogen in this dojo,” she snickered. 

You glanced around, between the smell and the number of boys in the class, you longed for one more girl in the dojo. “Maybe it’d give the incentive to build a locker room, I hate changing in the bathroom,” you sighed, resting your hands on your belt.

While the boys had no problem changing in front of each other, you and Aisha had to take turns changing in the bathroom. Not only was it so gross in there but it wasted so much time. You prayed for a day when you wouldn’t have to worry about that anymore.

“I know, it’s disgusting in there,” she grimaced. “Maybe we could take the night to have some fun, it’s been a while since we last hung out,” she said. 

The two of you make plans at least every other week to hang out. Consisting of shopping trips, hanging out at the beach, or going to those fun painting classes, you loved spending time with her. Between that, the boys are joining in or you’re with your families, and in your case, you have a boyfriend who enjoys spending time with you. 

It had been a while since it was just the two of you.

“That sounds like fun,” you smiled. “I have been spending a lot of time with Eli,” you trailed. 

“Thanks for finally realizing, but don’t worry, we can use that time to talk about all the juicy details of your relationship,” she giggled. 

Your cheeks warmed up. “It’s not that interesting, but there are some things that have happened,” you grinned at the memory of saying “I love you” for the first time.

“Can’t wait to hear all about it,” she said, touching your shoulder before she walked out of the dojo.

You headed to the bathroom to change and by the time you got out, Eli was back in his clothes, though he didn’t look amused. 

“Guess who’s stuck on mat duty for the next two weeks,” Eli came up, hands landing on your waist with an irritated frown on his face.

“I hope not me,” you answered, showing a smile in hopes to cheer him up. His frown didn’t change and you sighed. “Sorry, but now you have an answer, right?” You reassured him, rubbing his shoulder. “It’s obvious it’s a sore subject for him.”

“Yeah, whatever,” he sighed. “You ready to go?” He wrapped his arm around your shoulder.

You nodded before making your way outside to his car.

~

Eli’s hand was in yours as you sat next to each other in the booth. Both of you preferred to be close compared to sitting across from each other. It also made stealing food off his plate easier.

Today marked your eight-month anniversary. 

You couldn’t believe how different the two of you were now in such a short time. You were happy.

“I know we’re not gonna do gifts until our first anniversary, but I wanted to give this to you,” you reached for your purse, pulling out a flat canvas.

His eyes widened as it came into view, his mouth curving upward in amazement. “Badass, babe,” he reached over to kiss you. “How’d you reference it?”

The painting was of his hawk tattoo, a complete replica. It was a symbol of his confidence, carrying so much meaning yet he never got to see it when he wanted. 

You wanted him to be able to. “I have my ways,” you smirked playfully. 

He kissed you again, more tenderly this time before he pulled away, and reached into his pocket. “I actually have something for you too,” he said, clutching something in his hand. “Close your eyes,” he said. “And hold out your hand.”

You grew excited as you did, feeling the soft brush of his fingers around your wrist. You felt something wrap around it and when you opened your eyes again, your face melted as you stared at the pretty flower-beaded bracelet. 

“Eli,” you gasped.

“I got it in lavender since it’s your favorite color,” he said. “It’s also a bracelet so you don’t have to take it off during class,” he explained.

“I love it,” you pressed your hand to your chest. “Thank you, Eli,” you leaned over to kiss him.

“I love you,” he said. 

“I love you.”

After finishing dinner, you drove to your place. You wanted to get more summer work done and Eli promised he’d help.

Toeing off your shoes, you grabbed Eli’s hand and walked down the hall, only to be stopped by your mother who was sitting in the living room.

“Hi, Mrs. L/N,” Eli greeted, a smile on his face. 

“Hi, sweetie,” your mom said, looking up from her book. “Still rocking the mohawk, huh?” She grinned. 

“Yeah, don’t think it’s going away anytime soon,” he smirked, glancing at you as he rolled his lips together. 

“We’ll be in my room, doing biology,” you said, pulling Eli along with you to your room.

You left your door ajar, putting on some study music before you were pulling Eli close to you. 

“What happened to doing biology?” He spoke low enough that the music drowned out his voice.

“We’ll do that later, I want to take advantage before my dad gets home,” you implied.

His eyes widened in realization before you began kissing. 

The moment was nicely shared between you two, the soft music playing, the privacy you had without anyone bugging you. It was just you and your boyfriend, sitting on your bed, kissing. 

You smiled into the kiss, cupping his cheek. His hand resting on your side. 

Afterward, you were putting the study music to good use, a pencil in your hand and Eli’s arm draped over the back of your chair as he watched you work, making sure to correct you along the way. 

Thankfully, you’ve been getting better at understanding the material, and not needing much of his aid as much. It was a relief to have him there though. 

When you got a problem incorrect, you pushed the packet over to him so he could see where you went wrong. You rested your head in the palm of your hand, being less discrete about watching him. 

This was your time to take in his features, pointing out all the things you loved about him. His long lashes, his striking blue eyes, his smile—those were just the few that were obvious. 

Unable to contain the playful aggression coursing through you, you reached out, grabbed his face, and repeatedly kissed him all over his face. 

He began laughing, leaning back in his chair to make room as you invaded his space. His arm wrapped tightly around your waist while he allowed you to assault him with kisses. 

With only a couple of minutes passing by, you both doubled over in laughter, your forehead dropping to his shoulder as you attempted to suppress the giggles that escaped you. But you couldn’t and you didn’t care to hide it.

~

“We’re really gonna do this?” You asked, tightening your belt around your gi.

“No better way than to show those bitches we’re not pussys,” Miguel said.

You blew out a breath, standing behind Miguel as you got ready.

The announcer drew attention to the LaRusso Auto Group stage. The lights dimmed, three silhouettes showing. 

You noticed it was Mr. LaRusso, Sam, and Robby.

They began moving in sync, their movements captivating the audience. While they were supposed to be the enemy, you couldn’t help but feel intrigued by their demonstration. It was controlled, and precise, and it looked like a dance. 

It was calling out to the artist inside you.

“What kind of lame-ass karate is that?” Eli scoffed.

You ignored him, watching the lights on the stage turn on, their movements becoming quicker. None of them attacked, which you found odd. Still, you wanted to know why. 

“I think we’ll get more recruits this way,” Aisha said, pulling you out of your thoughts.

Sensei devised a plan to sabotage LaRusso’s demonstration for dissing Cobra Kai in his commercial. 

“I agree,” you said almost on auto-pilot, your eyes trained on the stage. Anticipation grew in you as Mr. LaRusso called out for the big finale but then the lights dimmed, the sound cutting off and you remembered why you were here.

“Cobra Kai!” You shouted in unison with your team, trotting toward the main stage, gathering the attention of the crowd. 

As you chanted your dojo name, the crowd cheered, rushing over to see your demonstration.

You did your fight choreography, showing the audience what you were able to do. You fought off your teammates in the showcase, sweeping their legs as you punched them. Aisha broke boards blindfolded and Eli brought Demitri on stage to kick a board mid-air. 

You threw out Cobra Kai merchandise, the crowd roaring with excitement. 

Sensei broke a stack of cement slabs in half for the big finale while on fire. 

Standing in a line, you smiled proudly, listening to the crowd chant your name. 

“We did it,” you heard Sensei say and you couldn’t stop a smile from appearing on your face.
