I know it’s not hard to point out reactionaries hypocrisy when it comes to like safe spaces or hug boxes or whatever but genuinely how much of an echo chamber do you have to exist in for you to think this is a reasonable thing to say

The thing they say about if you want to get good at something just get unhealthily obsessed over a character is unfortunately true because I've spent the last week learning to use editing software in real time because I had a vision for an edit about robby keene and it's possessed my brain and won't let me rest until it's been realised

#I just have the text left to do!! #I'll definitely post it here once I'm done because I've spent wayyy too much time making it to not unleash it onto others #the amount of recording's I've had to take is making my phone absolutely chug #and capcut crashed about three times last night while I was working on it but it's gonna be worth it!! #personal #robby keene #editing #beginner editing #hyperfixation

The first rule of tragedy is to be yourself. The second of rule of tragedy is to be literally anyone else. The third rule is that however much you try, there is no escaping being yourself forever.

#now when I say robby keene the crowd starts ripping me to shreds like wild animals #prev yes when I take over a ted talk this will be my opening statement about The Boy #robby keene

Why do people need subtitles to watch a show in English? I don't get it. What is wrong with the ears of young people?

#I have audio processing disorder which is great when I'm a fan of smaller podcasts #sometimes I'll rewind to try and catch smth that I missed the first time #and I just have to admit defeat and be like well that word's lost to the sands of time ig #whats a queue ass bitch?

There’s something about Amanda and Daniel as a couple in regards to not just Daniel being considered “incorrect” by men for how he performs his gender and how he presents his masculinity, but also. Amanda’s performance of womanhood exists a little to the left of conventional as well. She’s tall, blunt, assertive; she dresses fairly femininely, but she also has to lean in to the “corporate woman” role, which affects her presentation.

Where Daniel’s gone through life getting picked on because he’s perceived as weak or feminine, Amanda’s experience probably involves a lifetime of trying to make herself smaller, softer, more palatable. Trying to dumb herself down into something considered “appropriate.”

It’s an interesting combination for a couple to have, and I don’t (just) mean in a “girlboss and malewife” way. I mean in a “the ways they’re both relating to gender is complex and they probably both carry a bit of bitterness about it” way. And also “they can understand each other, which offers both of them a bit of a reprieve” way.

#yeah me staring at the ceiling and thinking about amanda and daniel and amandanddaniel for days on end now

platforming palestinian joy is just as important as sharing the suffering they're enduring during this genocide. despite continued displacement and bombardment, you cannot steal their joy and spirit. happy birthday to this sweet baby 🖤🇵🇸 may they grow up to see a free palestine

I must not mock Gen Alpha. Mocking Gen Alpha is the mind killer. Mocking Gen Alpha is the little-death that brings total generational solidarity obliteration. I will engage with Gen Alpha lovingly. I will permit them to be cringe. And when they grow up I will turn my eye to their accomplishments. Where mocking has gone there will be nothing. Only generational solidarity remains

Wait… Isn’t Ed Balls day coming up? ED BALLS DAY, I HAVE TO GET READY TO CELEBRATE

I fucking love how messy the circle of blame is in cobra kai between daniel and johnny like yes you can argue the karate war and kreese and silver coming back wouldn't have happened if johnny hadn't brought back cobra kai but then would johnny have brought it back if daniel didn't poke fun at him at the dealership and have the most humiliating moment of johnny's life as his marketing strategy, BUT THEN it's like daniel integrated so much of the cheesy karate symbolism to keep his best friend close to him, the best friend that protected him from johnny and it just keeps going round and round and gets even messier as the seasons go on and I just- RUFFRUFFRUFFARAGFKLFKLSAGRHH

#DISCLAIMER: I know they were things that both of them did that were absolutely their fault!!!! #and also things happened that both of them were completely innocent in!!! #I just love how goddamn messy these fool are #cobra kai #the karate kid #karate kid #ck #johnny lawrence #daniel larusso #lawrusso

[soupforsoup]

You'd think cobra kai is about breaking the cycles of abuse and toxic hypermasculinity that have kept you in a spiral of shame your whole life, and how holding someone you love up on a pedestal and ignoring their mistakes only limits you from self-acceptance in your own human flaws, and it is that but mainly it's just about how much Gay on Gay violence four old men can commit on each other before they either fuck nasty or kill each other

#I was gonna say 'before they get arrested' before remembering kreese johnny AND silver have all been arrested at least once now SKFGHISLHSKL #god thinking about what this show could be gets me SOOOO #cobra kai #cobra husbands #lawrusso #ck #karate kid #daniel larusso #johnny lawrence #john kreese #terry silver
