If Sam Stood On Demetri’s Shoulders, It’s Over For Everyone

That moment when you were about to make a ‘happily ever after’ edit for the vks but then remember that Carlos and Jay have like 10 minutes of screen time across the entire trilogy

POTATO GANG RISE UP

I forgot to mention this but I want yall to know I got something NASHTY planned for the Binary Bros in Season 3

Hypothetical Cobra Kai Musical Songs (Season 2)

WE BACK IN THIS HOE

Yall know what it is. What if Cobra Kai was or had a Musical? Well, this is what I think a couple of the songs in Season 2 would be like.

I was a little confused on what the first song should be but then it came to me. It starts as basically a celebration song between Miguel, Aisha, Hawk, and the rest of the cobras about how they won, they’re badass and all that. It’s trumpet heavy, with some guitars and drums. And then halfway through the song, Johnny cuts in and changes the whole vibe, talking about how they won unfairly, and admonishing them for their dishonorable tactics and cheap moves. His lines would be cold, strict and the music behind it would be mostly drums and perhaps a few trumpets, etc etc. Not quite sure of a name for it, ngl.

I try to think of at least one song for each episode in a season, but I’m drawing a blank on Episode 2. Hmmm. I guess a reprise of Pain is Power while the students are training in the cement mixer, sung by Johnny and Kreese.

Then, another Johnny song, wow, I’m really giving this man a lot of screentime, ion even like this guy. Anyway, it’s him explaining all of the Keene-Lawrence lore to Miguel, telling him about how he was never there for Robby because he could never build up the courage, and by the time he did, it was far too late. It would be uncharacteristically sullen, with a background track composed of violins, flutes, piano, etc. I think the song should be called Fall Again, and in the feel of the lyrics, I think it would be a lot like Die Together by Fabvl, primarily the chorus.

Episode 4 doesn’t get a song because I can’t think of one rip.

Next, maybe a short sonata during the Eli flashback at the start of the episode about how much of a fucking loser everyone thinks he is, ending with Hawk saying the last words in the present day. It’d be about a minute long, wouldn’t take up too much time. No idea what to call it, ngl.

Next, a dramatic ass song from Daniel about him admonishing Johnny for the vandalism of Miyagi Do, starting with pure accusations towards him and his dojo, and then him lecturing the students about the true nature of Cobra Kai, which results in half of the leaving as in canon, It would be exactly like Mastermind from the newest episode of Helluva Boss, well, not ‘exactly’, but like, the same genre and feel. I’d call it Too Far. 

I REALLY want to put a Kreese solo here in Episode 6, but I feel like that should wait until Season 3 since that’s the season where he’s the sole and biggest antagonist. So instead, I’m going to have a song with Johnny’s three friends on their road trip. After Johnny brings up how he brought the dojo back and allowed Kreese to put his grubby little hands on it, each of the friends launches into a musical number about how their lives went downhill after Cobra Kai and all the bullshit it put in their brains. Tommy’s section at the end would be especially passionate, all of this would really put some doubt in Johnny’s mind. No clue what I’d call it lmao, I’m sorry-

Next up, a song between Miguel and Hawk. It’s a song-rap battle type deal, think Fight of Our Lives from Descendants Rise of Red except significantly less cringe. So basically It’s Goin’ Down. It’s starts when Hawk reveals that he did all the vandalism and stole the medal, and it’s an argument that conveys that Miguel leans to Johnny and Hawk leans to Kreese. Hawk calls himself a revolutionary while Miguel calls him a criminal. …yeah I don’t have a name for this one either, I’m SORRY-

And then, a Robby and Sam love duet. Now, I do feel bad about giving Robby and Sam a duet like this and not Tory and Miguel (which is honestly just because I have no idea where to put it), but I think it works because imo Robby and Sam’s relationship was way more genuine and interesting than Tory and Miguel’s. I think Tory and Miguel got together just because the other was there. Anyway, this would be a short bop, in the same vein as Meant to Combine from Zombies the PEAKanimated series. I’d probably call it Sugar and Spice, because they go together like, well, Sugar and Spice. Also to show how Sam’s from a good place and a sweetheart (Sugar), and how Robby’s rough around the edges because he’s from a bad life (Spice).

Then a short Daniel and Amanda duet, mostly of their reconciliation, I’d take inspiration from ‘Wouldn’t Change A Thing’ from Camp Rock 2 (I think it was 2, I’m not sure). It’s mainly about Amanda talking about how the company’s going under because of Daniel’s obsession and Daniel opening up about the trauma and pain he faced at the hands of Cobra Kai and how he wants to stop them before they hurt other kids. But in the end, they resolve to come to a compromise. Calling it Priorities, because, well, that’s what it’s mostly about. 

For the next song, I’m thinking maybe a Johnny Daniel duet? About the stories of their past or something? It could take place when they’re all at the Mexican restaurant and Amanda and Carmen go to the bathroom. Honestly, not sure of this at all, I just wanted a song for the events of Episode 9 (and to prepare for the emotional sniper shot the next song is going to be).

Up next, Robby solo. Taking place after Daniel banishes him for the second time. It’s an emotional, orchestral solo about how Robby has been being abandoned and cast away his entire life, and how he thought he was finally in a place where he was valued, cared for, even loved, but then it all got ripped away from him like all the times before. You know how in all musical, there’s always one singer that’s just unabashedly a better vocalist than everyone else? I imagine that’s what Robby’s actor would be. So this one would just hurt to listen to, but also be heat. Think Waiting in the Wings from Tangled The Series. Actually, it’s EXACTLY like Waiting in the Wings from Tangled the Series. Legit can’t think of a better basis for this song. Maybe some Everything I Ever Thought I Knew from the same series. I’d probably call it Clockwork because of how he feels like everything’s repeating.

And then the finale song, taking place during the school fight. It’s absolute pandemonium with harmonies, clashing lyrics, all kinds of lyrics, each main teen rivalry would get a verse, it would be insane. First starting with Miguel and Robby’s lyrics, basically insulting each other about their places with Sam and Johnny respectively, Miguel takes cheap shots at Robby about how his father gave him up, weaponizing the information he learned in Fall Again, but then Robby claps back about how Miguel basically fucked over his own relationship with Sam. 

And then Hawk and Demetri, it’s a Hawk heavy segment of him hunting Demetri down, talking about how he can’t run forever and how he’s going to get what’s coming to him, mocking Demetri about his philosophy, maybe calling back to Under the Radar and Flip the Script. 

And finally, Sam and Tory, I would have Tory call Sam a Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing and tell her that karma’s come to collect her debt (only peak enjoyers know that reference). Tory heavy segment, very bitter, angry instrumental. And then when Hawk and Tory have Sam and Demetri on the back foot, Sam and Demetri launch into a sort of duet, reiterating Daniel’s teachings as they use their Miyagi-Do techniques to take down their aggressors. 

But then when it comes to Miguel and Robby, it’s way different, because it’s actually pure action until Miguel has Robby on the ground, and then Miguel apologizes. And that’s when Robby gets pissed, attacking Miguel as he wrathfully sings about how it’s dumb that Miguel thinks a sorry is supposed to erase everything. He’s blinded by rage until he accidentally kicks Miguel off of the railing.

And then Miguel gets a slow, soft version of the chorus, sung as he falls down the rail and his thoughts slow down to reflect on every action that got him to this point. It’s sullen until he’s cut off by the sound of his spine breaking on the stair rail. The screen cuts to black. And then Miguel sings the last words as the camera fades to him laying on the ground, blood pooling from his mouth.

“From here~” 

Okay, yeah, I think I cooked with that last one. Anyways, just like last time, feel free to suggest names and other songs you think could fit in. But overall, I hope you all enjoy.

Crazy how a doc can go from 2 pages to 37 in three days because of a random surge of midnight motivation

Amanda in her soccer mom era 😭

Samtory. The ship I accidentally converted myself to.

At first I thought it was just gay for the sake of gay, which, I had no problem with but personally it wasn’t for me.

And then I started thinking about it as a joke, cooking up several comedic situations that revolved around Sam being obsessed with Tory and that obsessing kind of turning into lust.

And then I realized that’s just canon lmao

Jokes aside, it’s genuinely a great ship, boosted by the fact that since they’re no longer trying to kill each other, I actually know what their platonic dynamic is like.

This ship shares a lot of similarities dynamic-wise with Narusasu. Rivals so deep into the rivalry that they start making out.

Anyways, yeah, my thoughts on this ship are super unorganized but here they are. 10/10 ship

Random Sentimonsters In The Paon Royale AU

➤ Storming Dove: Storming Dove is Aurore's sentimonster, and it's replacing Stormy Weather. It's a large bird with brown feathers, some white feathers, and a spiked beak. This bird controls the weather and can speak, as most sentimonsters will in this AU. The name is a play on the Mourning Dove, which is a type of bird. I congratulated myself after coming up with that.

➤ Pigeon Lord: Another bird-based sentimonster because I was too proud of Storming Dove to change it. This sentimonster is analogous to Mr.Pigeon and he has the same powers. The difference is that he is shirtless, muscled, and has a pigeon head. Some of Pigeon Lord's pigeons have special abilities such as coating themselves in flames, sharp teeth, and super strength. Honestly, I feel like the writers of the show were simply having fun when they came up with Mr. Pigeon, so I'm gonna make this crazier.

➤ The Chronicle: The Chronicle is replacing The Evillustrator. It's a sentient floating sketchbook that can create anything it wants. It can create anything, but it can only exist 30 seconds. Didn't really want to make it too overpowered so that it's able to be defeated. Nathaniel helps defeat it by throwing water on it, since that's a weakness all books have.

➤ Bodybuilder: Kim's sentimonster, replacing Dark Cupid. I felt like this fit Kim more than Dark Cupid due to his athleticism. It looks a lot like a human but has steel skin, slick red hair, and a sleeve-less jumpsuit with Dark Cupid's color scheme. Obviously, it has super strength and super jumps. It can also release beams from it's eyes that have the same effect as Dark Cupid's arrows.

➤ Eyebrarian: Gabriel's sentimonster, replacing the Collector. This sentimonster was modeled after what Gabriel thinks of Natalie. It has three eyes and the third eye can emit light, causing whatever gets hit by it to disappear and become a drawing in a book that it holds. It has enhanced agility, making it hard to hit.

YEEES

Cobra Kai would be 10x better if it had goofy sound effects but only specifically whenever Demetri did something

I think I’m gonna do another Hazbin-Descendants rewrite.

Yeah I’m gonna do Stayed Gone, but you guys can guess which two characters will be singing it.

"Just Look My Way" - Ben Florian Rewrite (Helluva Boss)

It is expected, an oath by birth to rule the land

As the starlight passes overhead

And settles in my hand

I am a sovereign, protector of the people’s rights

Yet my eyes can only drift to you

And the classic tale we write

Let me hold you, keep you close to me

I long to hear your voice

But dearest, I know better now

I must give you this choice

I know you’re the only thing I need

I’d fight to bring you back to me

So look my way 

Please look my way

If there’s something more that I don’t know

That you won’t say till we’ve both grown cold

Just say, please stay, look my way

This strong connection, a bond that drew us ever close

Even when you’re gone, and I can’t see you, my longing for you grows

I don’t care if you were born to evil

Or grew around unholy people

Why don’t you understand? Let me explain!

That I’m terrified

As I cry

To make my wish come true

What’s left for me

And my breaking heart

If I cannot have you?

Unless it’s me

And all it was you wanted was support

But alas

My duties grew, and time was cut too short

Is this how you feel?

Stressed by a land that cannot comprehend

What you are

So I’ll make you this promise

These binds on your soul need 

To end

I will try to best atone

For leaving you to fend alone

So, look my way

Please look my way

And however long to break your fears

I’ll sit and wait a thousand years

If you’ll stay, and just say

Look my way
