#so here's

I mean, I could write a whole novella about what I think OG KK3 Terry wouldn't do.

And what his life between KK3 and Cobra Kai season 4 would’ve been like ---

But here's some, in (angry) snippets;

- Dynatox? He would’ve been running Dynatox in full swing --- which has probably gone conveniently green somewhere between the 80′s and present day to strategically fit the shifting politics, narratives and world views aimed at a new age as he re-brands himself as eco-friendly, with his face on billboards all over LA, on various products, in news papers, on TV commercials. He’s like an inescapable, looming phantom hovering over the city. The grandeur of Terry’s power is never showcased like that which is a shame. Of course, this isn’t an agenda Terry believes in or cares for, it is simply a way to blend in like a chameleon and make even more of a profit by shapeshifting his firm in the public perception and turn himself marketable. He couldn’t care less about the oceanic flora and fauna, the Amazonian rainforest or saving the whales. He’s still very much running a toxic company fronting itself as green. Yet, Dynatox in the show is literally never explored. Why?

- Terry would never allow someone to call his friend essentially inbred, especially considering we discovered John has a history of mental health in his family and that his mother committed suicide back in the days, something that was met with great stigmatization --- a fact Terry no doubt knew about, so to just sit there grinning like a self-content idiot while Emile or whatever rando backhandedly remarks that the best friend he ever had, his comrade, his Captain, the man who saved his life at least a couple of times has a Hapsburg Jaw would’ve had KK3 Terry escorting at least half of the posse at that garden party off of the estate post-haste and suing at least several of them for defamation and slander purely based on that fact Terry would’ve been more offended than John --- as is usually the case with these two. With good reason too. I don’t know why, but this one never sat well with me.

- I just refuse to believe Terry Silver, the Terry Silver, wouldn’t know of John’s whereabouts during those thirty years of absence or rather, that he wouldn’t care. Or Daniel Larusso’s whereabouts. Or the whereabouts of Daniel’s family. Or that Johnny Lawrence had a fully-fledged son. Stalking man Terry? Spying Terry? Obsessive Terry? Snooping, nosy, voyeuristic Terry? Terry who hid in a chimney once? Not knowing? How? Daniel became the owner of this huge car dealership in The Valley and yet when John brings Daniel up to Terry for the first time in decades, Terry is so surprised like he had no prior information about Larusso Auto whatsoever. I somehow literally refuse to believe Terry wouldn’t keep at least partial track of all of these people purely to get a (partially sick) kick out of their lives unfolding. That doesn’t seem like him.

- Also, to expand on Terry keeping track of everyone in secrecy --- he would’ve found a way to help John even if John kept rejecting his aid. If the devil works hard, Terry works harder. I cannot imagine KK3 Terry ever abandoning John to homelessness, living in shelters and general destitution, even if they had a grudge and even if John made it difficult to be aided. I envision Terry slipping John the occasional help, whether monetary or otherwise and utilizing his channels to covertly cover up the fact it is from him, making the support virtually untraceable. John might figure it out eventually, but the help always keeps coming and Terry pretty much forces it upon him from a distance. This is pretty much the guy who forced him to go on an impromptu vacay to Tahiti, sexy masseuse girls involved after personally driving him to the airport. Terry isn’t someone who would just give up helping him.

- I somehow doubt he would neglect Karate and Cobra Kai, but that’s just my personal opinion. Cobra Kai might’ve gone underground after the ‘85 tournament loss, but Terry in KK3 seemed somewhat unfettered by everything ranging from being sued, indicated and sent to court (which he bribed) and so to simply entirely neglect martial arts after a one loss is...strange? Sure, one might argue it deeply affected him because this was to be a victory he wanted to procure in John’s name, but to simply abandon Karate entirely?

- In KK3 we see Terry having an apparent liking towards his staff. He’s chattering and being cheeky with Margaret. He’s amused by Snake and Dennis. By Mike Barnes too. In present day, in CK, there’s this weird disconnect in the company and social circle Terry keeps. He seems weirdly annoyed (with a chagrin) and detached from everyone and I just personally don’t like it. It makes me uneasy and sad.

- Terry would never write off his own behaviour in KK3 as merely ‘being on Coke in the 80′s’ regardless if he was actually on Coke or not. One gets the impression he’s shrugging off his entire personality, knack for devotion, fierceness, intensity, taking things too far, impulsivity, loyalty, undying friendship as merely a side-effect of substance abuse and nothing else. Those are the things that make Terry Terry, so basically, they have the character himself out here implying that he’s none of those things, because it’s all basically the drugs. So, who is he then? I don’t think Terry would ever do that and that he would have too much pride to admit something controlled him enough to have him act out, if anything, at least privately, in front of John, I can see him being cocksure, deflecting and remarking something along the lines of ‘Yeah, I did what I did. Fuck it.’ purely to seem in charge of himself. 

- Also, why is Terry suddenly seeming ashamed of everything about himself? His service in the military? His martial arts? His friendship with John. Again, so strange and I legitimately...don’t think this is in character. Like, maybe Terry would act to be cringed out by himself, but to truly and honestly be? 

hey!! send some of these!!

5. “Can I have you for dinner?” “…” “Sorry, bad word choice. Would you like to come over for dinner?”

longer than i intended, but still short :> something about an au where giants & humans live in relative harmony in modern society & bruce is a giant dc | bruce wayne & selina kyle 653 words no warnings reblogs > likes!! enjoy!!

Dammit. Bruce kicks himself mentally. 

This is what happens when locks himself away to work for weeks at a time: he forgets how to talk to people. Humans especially.

The human––Selina, of course; he couldn’t forget her name or face if he tried––stares up up up at him, her green eyes reflecting her confusion. A painful silence persists for several long moments, during which Bruce is sure he can hear his own heart imploding on itself. Astonishingly, though, it ends with Selina’s chuckle––a sound sweet as a canary’s song or a cat’s purr. She tries to stifle it behind her hand, oblivious to Bruce’s longing that she wouldn’t. He feels his cheeks warm.

Me first you think of when in your feed, pops up the meme. Grateful, I am. (This is the only relationship we’ll ever have)
