Returning To This Blog Very Briefly To Say: Same Group Dynamic

Saw someone saying Miguel was villainizing Robby in his Stanford essay by writing about what happened and I wanted to talk about it because I honestly don’t think that makes any sense.

Most people will agree that Robby didn’t mean to kick Miguel over the balcony, it was obviously an accident and that is important context that matters in the story.

However Miguel still got kicked over a balcony because of Robby and was paralyzed and had to relearn to walk and experienced a lot of trauma as a result of Robby’s actions.

Miguel’s trauma doesn’t go away because it was an accident and it’s a totally reasonable thing to write a college essay about. It’s also totally fair for Robby to feel guilty and upset at the reminder of what happened. But Robby’s trauma doesn’t mean Miguel isn’t allowed to talk about what he went through, Miguel can forgive Robby and still acknowledge that it was a real thing he went through that impacted him. Just like Robby would be totally justified in still struggling with some of the things Miguel did to him in the earlier seasons.

And either way in the scene Miguel does feel bad for bringing up something that hurts Robby and immediately offers to change his name which probably isn’t what Robby’s upset about but Miguel tries to make him more comfortable anyway.

In fact I think their dynamic at this point is shockingly healthy for Cobra Kai, they’ve talked about it and are actually building a respectful relationship that doesn’t just ignore what they’ve done to each other. Sure Johnny’s attempts at helping were horrible and I would’ve loved to see more in depth conversations between them but overall for the kind of show it is I think this season has really demonstrated a sweet relationship between them.

Don't kill yourself, please.

If you’re suffering from depression and are looking for a sign to not go through with ending your life, this is it. This is the sign. We care.

If you see this on your dash, reblog it. You could save a life.

Pope is the hottest guy in OBX but TikTok is not ready for this conversation

to every critic who claims that the Uglies cast is too attractive to be playing the "ugly" characters and it doesn't make sense for them to calling themselves ugly for having completely normal facial features:

Devi Vishwakumar is one of the best main female characters and I will deeply miss her.

I love how unapologetically messy and chaotic she was. It was a wild ride seeing her make some questionable decisions. It was great to see a woman of color allowed to be messy and entangled in romantic affairs. It was amazing to see Tamil representation and how it focuses on family relationships and how difficult it is to handle cultural and generational differences. Ultimately, NHIE is about a teenager navigating grief and such a traumatic event. Devi and Nalini’s relationship was extremely complicated but perfectly illustrates how difficult it is to raise your kid when you have been raised differently so seeing their relationship grow and evolve to such tender and supportive bond was such a beautiful journey to have witnessed.

Devi was messy, cringey, confused, frustrating but also funny, driven, smart, kind and deeply human. She was allowed to make mistakes and try again until she figures it out. Her growth this season was so brilliant to see and she’s going to make many more mistakes in the future but already has such great support system in her life. Has learned to value herself and her worth. I love she got to have her romantic ending, her dream school and loved for all of her messiness.

I will miss Devi and every character in NHIE, as a show is definitely one I will rewatch multiple times and I cannot wait to see what Maitreyi does with her future because she’s brilliant.
