How it feels going on Cobra Kai AO3 and trying to weed through all the porn to find good fics
I didn’t spend 30 minutes of my life writing this just for nobody to read it BOOST THIS SHIT🗣️‼️ (I’m joking)
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
I love Demetri sm but Season 6 made me want him to stfu for the first time ever😩
Oh, Demetri, I’m sorry I wasn’t your writer.
s6 pt 2/3 demetri: *exists*
ck fans:
like half of the fandom was hating on him for petty reasons and the other half was pissed at his mischaracterization and the fact that he still had the pompadour hair, there really was no winning for my princess 😭
Demetri:...why do I feel like I'm about to get jumpsca-
Sam, dropping down from the cieling: DEMETRI.
Demetri: GAH!
Sam: I found out how to beat Tory!
Demetri: Sam, you're one of my dearest friends, but we have got to talk about your Tory obsession.
Sam: Didn't you use my mom's industrial printer to print out a poster of Hawk so you can tape it on your wall?
Demetri:...proceed.
Sam: Tory and I have been on equal footing up until now, but the biggest advantage she has over me isn't skill, it's height.
Demetri:...huh?
Sam, grabbing Demetri's shoulders: God has foresaken me with my father's genetics, so it's time to level the playing field. That's where you come in.
Demetri: How the hell am I going to-you're gonna sit on my shoulders.
Sam: I'm gonna sit on your shoulders.
Demetri: Yeah, no, this is just asinine. I'm not letting you-
Sam: You remember when she pressured Hawk to break your arm?
Demetri:....
five minutes later
Tory working her seventeenth job: Why do I hear boss music?
Samtory AU where Sam is obsessed with Tory but in a “our rivalry is sacred and I despise you but our competition drives me to better myself in ways I never even dreamed of before also I kind of want to kiss you”
Sam: I have to defeat her, but how? She’s too strong, too skilled, too hot, too smart, too hot-
Miguel: You said hot twice.
Sam:…I mean, yeah, look at her? Are you blind?
______
Daniel: Sam, you might have a problem.
Sam, standing in the middle of her room that she covered with pictures of Tory: Whatever do you mean, father?
Daniel: What do I-I mean all of this!
Sam: Oh, I’m just getting locked in for the tournament by focusing on my greatest adversary.
Daniel, pointing at the punching bag covered top to bottom in Tory’s headshots: and what about that?
Sam:…image training?
Sam: *bursts into Robby’s room* YOU!
Robby: Hmm?
Sam: Stop stealing my dad.
Robby: *takes long sip of ice tea*…no.
Sam: You son of a BITCH-
Robby: LET ME HAVE THIS!
On EVERYBODY’S soul INCLUDING mine this woulda made the show peak 🗣️‼️
My boyfriend broke my arm then saved me from his evil henchmen like two weeks later?!1?1! (EMOTIONAL STORYTIME) (NOT CLICKBAIT)

I forgot to mention this but I want yall to know I got something NASHTY planned for the Binary Bros in Season 3
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.
Miyagi-Do: Our fighting style resolved around focus and strategy, predicting our opponents moves to properly evade and counter-
Cobra Kai:
also hilarious that every sports movie ever has a scene where the main character is losing and either mad or frustrated about it which is causing them to lose before they calm down and lock the fuck in. focused. its a staple scene. and cobra kai says no. do NOT do that. aren’t you tired of being nice (you were never nice) don’t you want to go ape shit
So...Kiaz.
I don't really like Kiaz. Aside from the obvious reason (incest), they deadass have no reason to even consider each other in a romantic sense.
From Season 1 to Season 4, they thought of each other as 'the twink my dad replaced me with' and 'the asshole that kicked me off a railing', even in Season 5, they'd JUST made up, they weren't even close.
And it's not even the problem of their personalities, I think they're personalities are compatible, it's just...their situation.
And the fact that they're literally brothers. Yeah, Kiaz sucks imo (no offense to anyone who ships Kiaz).
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
Moon: It's pride month, Sam, you know what that means. Sam: Huh, what- Sam: Do you want us to do like, gay karate-what?
