Thallen:

I think it’s great! I am admittedly picky about whose Thallen fics I read simply because of how fiercely protective I am of Iris, and I do admittedly prefer them in a Westhallen context, but Thallen is wonderful, I love them 🥰 both as Thallen, and as Savithawne/Saveddie (and I want to write more of the latter tbh, Savitar makes Barry’s various relationships sooo much more interesting).

I like them romantically/sexually, and as friends, hence why both squares are labeled!

Amaniel (or Damanda):

They’re great! One of my OTPs of Cobra Kai 🥰 the show doesn’t give me a lot to work with, but they love and support each other, and that love is strong even after two kids…and even Daniel’s karate drama doesn’t drive her away. Can’t get any more in love than that, am I right 😂

There aren’t a lot of fics out there for/about them, so not too much to be picky about, but…the one I read where Amanda was related to Eric McGowen (from The Next Karate Kid) absolutely changed my life, that’s a hc for me now. Hey, she’s already canonically related to Jessica (from KK3), why not Eric (and therefore also Julie) too?

I also really really love these two as part of a Daniel/Johnny/Amanda OT3, and more people need to write fics for that ship 🔫

Superwest:

I have fics in my TBR for them that I still need to read 😅 but they’re so sweet!! Iris and Kara are canonically pretty good friends and admire each other—Kara names Iris as a journalistic inspiration to her, and Iris is in awe of her singing (and Kara helps Iris with the Dead Man’s Switch thing…a scene that SHOULD’VE BEEN KEPT IN THE SHOW UGHHH)

Plus:

I mean. Come on 🥹🥰 girlfriends!! They have even more fodder than Snowest, which…is simultaneously depressing (given Caitlin and Iris are prominent characters on the same show) and also sweet (for Superwest 🥰). AND they’re similar to Clois in the superhero x citizen reporter way!

The “not in canon” square is just bc it’s a fanon ship 😅 and also bc Westallen is forever my Iris OTP. But…Superwestallen 👀

Anyways Iris is the most shippable character in the show, she has chemistry with basically everyone, and we need to talk about it more ✋ thank you and goodnight

Taking advantage of @robbyykeene’s open tag, thank you for that! 🥰

It’s the year 2021 and you’re obsessed with The Karate Kid. How are you feeling?:

Pretty good tbh! I only just got into it last month and it’s certainly not slowing down anytime soon 😂 not with me having a WIP for this fandom and S4 releasing in December

Did you grow up with TKK or are you new to the series?:

I’m new! Just got into it at the end of March/beginning of April. My parents actually wanted to watch the series as a family, but we never made it all the way through together 🤷‍♀️ I ended up finishing it myself, and here I am, still obsessed

We gotta do the basics. Favorite character:

Daniel in the movies, Sam, Robby, Johnny, and Miguel in the show! Aisha too, but idk if she’s even still a character in the show 😭

Favorite ship:

Samguel and Damiko! I also love Amaniel and Lawrusso

Underrated character:

Does Aisha still count as underrated? 😂 other than her...I guess the Topanga kid? He was sweet

Underrated ship (don’t say therapy, lol):

Amaniel! Even though they’re literally canon, I barely see any content of them (I don’t even know if they have a ship name so I just made one 🤷‍♀️). I wanna see headcanons and fics focusing on them and backstory stuff!!

Wax On, Wax Off or Sweep the Leg?:

Wax on, wax off!

Which of Daniel’s dumb little outfits is your favorite?:

That outfit he wears in KK2 with the black tank top and the Miyagi-Do headband

Character from the films you most want to return, who’s not Terry Silver:

Julie Pierce from TNKK! I feel like she and Daniel would hit it off 🥰 he needs more friends (like...he really needs more friends)

Scene that lives in your head rent-free:

The last scene of the show, with the dojos combined, and Daniel and Johnny bowing to each other...AHH!

Either that or Daniel looking up at Johnny, his faces streaked with blood, Kreese immobilized at his feet, and Johnny giving Daniel a single nod as they come to a mutual understanding that Kreese needs to be Dealt With

Will Anthony LaRusso ever be relevant?:

I’m holding out hope for that arc of him joining Cobra Kai and Daniel remembering that he has more than one kid 💀

You live in The Valley and are forced into the karate gang war.  Which dojo do you join?:

Definitely Miyagi-Do

What’s your training montage song?:

Hold Steady by Justin Forrest, right off the CK soundtrack! Which was actually playing over a training montage, funnily enough

It’s the crossover event of the century! Which TV show are you combining with Cobra Kai for an hour-long Saturday night special?:

Avatar The Last Airbender! Mostly because I wanna see Waterbenders Sam and Daniel, and Firebenders Robby, Miguel, and Johnny

I also really want the parallels between Zuko&Katara and Robby&Sam to be talked about!! They would be such a powerful, chaotic sibling duo

Wizards of Waverly Place would also be an interesting crossover 😂 All-Valley Champ Alex (La)Russo, anyone? Maybe in an AU where Alex comes to The Valley 🤔 and maybe she’s part of the LaRusso family through a distant relative or something, and moves in with them because of her parents (maybe to keep her safe after that whole drama with her evil half). Like...karate + magic = PURE CHAOS and I live for it 😌
