not to defend s6 in any way but. i saw how they paralleled dem and eli with the straight couples. i saw it and i know there were people behind the scenes making that happen. and i appreciate it.

anytime anyone on cobra kai opens their mouth around each other it’s like “oh wait, you’re performing a gender that experiences a moment of release when karate transforms you from crushing girl/boy expectations to a moving, fluid, transformative body too? wild. anyway I’m gonna kick your ass now”

[nonbinaryhawk]

I CANNOT be the only one who sees how transmasc coded Hawk is. It could be canon and I’d just be like ‘yeah that tracks’

[nonbinaryhawk]

The Cobra Kai writers really gave us NOTHING when it came to actual relevant queer representation like..

“But Moon and Piper !!” Yeah they were cool until the writers just kinda broke them up and made Moon into Hawk’s motivation during the All Valley in season 4 like what is up with this show and making the female characters into “prizes” :-:

Yknow what would’ve been cooler? Literally just reprising Demetri’s little speech to Hawk in episode 6 of the same season and making that Hawk’s motivation liek it’s that easy. Just have Demetri give him a lil pep talk like “Hey man just so yk this is rlly crazy but you’ll always be my binary bro whether u win or lose” or something and there u go it may not be the best thing but it takes away the forced hetero-ness and makes use of already established strong character dynamics

This show isn’t a stranger to making gay implications with them either considering in the Hawk vs Robby fight literally like minutes after that Robby threw his gi to Tory (his love interest) while Hawk threw his to Demetri?? That’s crazy??

In conclusion Cobra Kai needs more gay, especially for a seemingly “woke” show

Gotta love how Eli and Demetri just became glorified extras because Netflix caught wind that some people thought they were gay

Now they’re literally just the emotional support gays and nothing more because they don’t do anything other than give relationship advice

I wish I knew how to quit you making dumbass shitposts

(not really. no. not actually at all.)

Cobra Kai + Headlines (2/?)

[nonbinaryhawk]

writes many thousands of words of meta over the course of years to explain why cobra kai is about closeted gay people, when really I could've just left it at "it's a martial arts sports show in which everyone has a same-gender rival that they're obsessed with but can't admit to being obsessed with, while they blunder aimlessly from underwritten het-romance to underwritten het-romance"

on the other hand there are some characters that i KNOW in my heart are not cis but heres the thing . THEY wouldn't know. they would have no idea. or they're not acknowledging it. i love trans headcanons as much as the next guy but angel devil from chainsaw man does not know that he's not cis because all angel devil is thinking about is that he's got a job to do and he'd rather not be doing it but ah well its that or being killed. oh well

theres also some characters that if you took them out for drinks for like 2 hours and talked to them they would realize very quickly they arent cis. but the resources simply dont exist in the situation they are in. do you understand my vision

Prompt: First and Last

Pairing: Hawkmetri

So this week's prompt kinda reminded me of this roleswap au I wrote forever ago, and the mental image of Demetri chasing Eli through the computer lab like a psycho instead of vice versa (which, hilariously, was probably my absolute fave mini-scene to write in that AU). Demetri seems to be canonically faster, so I don't think it would end well for poor Eli D:

***

“First place!”

Demetri dashes off the playground’s edge, cheering. Eli’s left stumbling after.

“Unfair!”

Demetri leans on a tree, flashing a gap-toothed grin. “You’re such a sore loser.”

“Who cares about winning a 2-person race?”

---

He cares now.

8 years later, being chased through the computer lab by a Cobra-Kai-brainwashed Demetri, Eli’s losing again.

“Little Eli Moskowitz! Can’t run forever.”

Spidery arms ensnare Eli’s waist, turning him and slamming him against the wall.

“Always in last place, aren’t we?” Demetri smirks.

Green eyes flash in the darkness, a bony fist raising.

“Let’s see if you’re still a sore loser.”

I drew everything in this, everything in the background, went to all this effort -- just to post that burger pun. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME.

Screaming.
