#ck predictions

[terrence-silver]

How do you think the dynamic is gonna change betwen terry and the other characters in season 5? What im hoping happens is a plot twist( like insert character was working with cobra kai)😭 i honestly love the conflict and drama

Uh, well, let me try and predict? Don't hold me to my words, though.

Daniel Larusso: I think we all collectively agreed that he will try to make this guy come off as absolutely insane and paranoid when he in fact isn't. Daniel simply recognizes his past abuser's patterns and tactics at play. Daniel very much is someone who was groomed in his childhood and someone not too many people will believe this season, perhaps? Terry makes Daniel seem irrational and delusional. Jealous, even. Jealous of Mr. Silver's successes, surely! John's in jail, right? Justice has been upheld. There is no conflict to be fought anymore. That's the news coming from the great, big grapevine, at least. So, why is Danny-Boy still so adamant and fidgety about it, when Terry, the new head of Cobra Kai is merely just a kindly, egalitarian, charming Billionaire with a heart of gold helping the youth of The Valley? Terry understands, though. Terry is a humble, smiling saint. It is PTSD and the nerves that are ailing Mr. Larusso. Might even suggest to Amanda that her husband should get therapy. Kindly advice, because it helped him oh so much too.

Amanda Larusso: Superficially enchants Amanda, but in the sense where he comes off as everything Daniel (who's a nervous, overly careful, jittery wreck by now) ought to be; a seemingly stable minded, polished businessman who just gets it. He gets it, okay? He's in charge of himself in ways Daniel isn't. Terry comes off like the image of the perfect American industrialist to Amanda, maybe a bit transparent with his charm he flaunts around so readily, but she really doesn't see why Daniel freaked so badly out about this guy. He gives off a corny, cheesy air, if anything else. Fake in the way an empty flatterer is fake. Like he tries too hard to get under your skin with every weapon available and like he tries to woo the public with a bit too much tenacity, but ultimately harmless beneath all of that TV evangalist-worthy razzle-dazzle...which is exactly what Terry wants her to think and something Terry entirely embraces. Of course, this serves to gaslight Daniel from a distance even further when his own damn wife disbelieves him this guy's dangerous.

Johnny Lawrence: Hard to tell, actually, but I'd like the angle where Terry sees Johnny as the prime inheritor of John's affections and devotion (maybe even figurative legacy, which is deeply infuriating because Terry feels cast aside and sidestepped by a nobody), and his ultimate adversary, in that regard. Johnny, naturally, might not grasp the profound gravitas behind it all, lacking half a century's worth of context and history, but Terry very much does understand. When it turns out someone who was so irreplaceably important and detrimental for a big chunk of your life loves someone else just a bit more than you, that someone else simply must be terminated and squashed into the ground. There can be only one. Terry's gonna prove his loyalty to his incarcerated Captain alright and he is going to prove it by destroying this punk's life and everything he's ever held dear by bit bit. Best thing is? There won't be a single thing John Kreese is going to be able to do about it from behind the bars. This is what he gets for breaking Terry's heart.

Chozen: People...think Chozen will have some big master plan on how to take down Terry but I literally feel the jist of it will be Chozen 'striking first' and utilizing a Cobra's ideology against a Cobra --- which is something that is revealed to us in that new clip that just dropped, among several other major clues. I might be wrong, but that's what I feel. He has insight into Terry's old Sensei, The Way of The Fist, I think he perfectly gets how downright deceptive and deadly this guy is and that he will bring the 'war' to Terry's doorstep. I mean, he is seen threatening Terry and telling him 'He is Gasoline.' among others. Anyway, what I think it will irk Terry, if you will, that there's a rare handful of somebodies who at all believe Daniel concerning Terry's own nature and are ready and able to stand up for him, meaning his attempts to isolate his victim and make him seem entirely irrational would've, in part, failed. Terry doesn't like that. He doesn't like that one bit. Then again, watch him actually try and use deception and infiltrate / join Cobra Kai (which...would anyone fall for that?)

Tory: Another person John cared for and another person Terry will hurt for it in a roundabout way, or at least, put through hefty amounts of pain disguised as training. Naturally, he will take John's sentimental pet project and make it better still all while making her suffer all throughout, polishing her through pain, which is deserved and a lesson long since overdue, Terry might think. He procures a trophy for her because while she could've won on her skill alone, she kept showing unnecessary mercy to her foe, and now she is being an ingrate too? Would Samantha Larusso ever don the same for Tory? Terry thinks not. Either way, nothing is for free. Every favour has a price and the price of Tory's All Valley trophy is her, in layman terms, shutting the hell up and not outing and betraying her own victory to the public and making herself seem like a fool when her and her family's livelihood depends on what she can earn by maintaining her status --- a la 'You're a champion, kid Don't be an idiot.'

Miguel and Robby: Their stories and relation to Terry might be extremely interconnected this season because Robby is with Miyagi-Do (Again) and Miguel is nowhere to be seen in any dojo thus far. Of course, Terry doesn't take lightly to betrayal and a stark change of colors like that. That's where the Cobra Kai invite arriving to Miguel's house address in the trailer comes in. If this is how Robby wants to play and flip-flop between dojos and alliances whoever he deems fit, that's how Terry will play too. There's a vacant spot in Terry's newly minted studios opening up all around and it can very well be occupied by Robby's greatest foe, which is Miguel, a former Cobra himself...and for all intents and purposes, Johnny Lawrence's favourite adoptive son --- a wound Terry will press into deliberately. Maybe Miguel could get cozy again with Tory too. Maybe Miguel should take everything Robby has, if Robby doesn't want it. Would Terry manipulate this angle to, in effect, punish Robby and fuel the fire of this rivalry further? I think he would.

Kenny: I don't think Terry's relationship with Kenny will be any sort of wholesome like some people think. I mean? At least I don't see it. In fact, I envision Kenny more like Terry's Trojan Horse, of sorts. I literally feel, to quote Terry himself, he will simply wind this kid up and set him loose into the world, fuelling the aggression and newfound power that comes with knowing martial arts...and his status as an actual child, yes. Kenny can attack people and be antagonistic, but people won't really strike back or will at least majorly hesitate to, because, he's, well, yes, a kid. Terry takes advantage of this as only a shameless tactician would. Terry takes advantage of the fact Robby just automatically jumps to Kenny's his defense too to cause even more chaos through this relationship. Having a wind-up imp who can do anything from enthusiastically sharing Cobra Kai fliers around, being an energized star student with a lot of potential, being a valuable poster child to pushing people around is a spectacularly useful figurine on Terry's colossal chessboard.

[tal-vez-o-quizas]

We always discuss how badly El needed a female friend (she got Max), how Nancy needed a female friend (now she has Robin) but why do we never discuss how badly Steve needs a friend that is around his same age?

Sure, Steve's friends with Dustin and is very close to Robin (he's the only person that knows she's a lesbian) but imagine Steve becoming friends with Jonathan?

That would be so beautiful, poetic and it will literally kill two birds with one stone: Steve gets a male friend closer to his age group, he bonds with Jonathan, they both see how great each other are as a person and regardless of what happens with Nancy, more character development ensues and everyone is gonna love to see those two interact.

It's a win-win situation!

That's how we get Stonathan.

[petra-creat0r]

guess who's going crazy!

this is why I didn't wanna try predicting anything for the next chapters.

Bonus Britni doodles

[everlastingcastiel]

All I bloody wanted was Johnny to focus on his relationship with Robby but noooooo

[iamfitzwilliamdarcy]

the adults: try to have a good time away from Karate

the kids: this is the best time to get into Shenanigans

[altruistic-meme]

the trailer and teaser for young royals s1 are so ???? like idk if i could have possibly guessed what it was about if i had actually watched those BEFORE the show. but also there are SUCH important scenes in the trailer?? and there are some very not important scenes as well so i just. i'm wondering what's going to happen with the s2 teaser and trailer :')

[senka-mesecine]

Watch John Kreese kidnap Johnny and Carmen’s baby once it is born and hold it as a psychological warfare blackmail bargaining chip or whatever and it becoming the driving point of Season 6, if and when a Season 6 even happens. Basically, a Karate Baby’s Day Out rehash, except even more hot podge nonsense.

:T Hello there, Thought(tm) of the day...

I? Just remembered that Constantine's "Laughing Magician"(?) title is... f*ckin HEREDITARY?

Like?? As in The Constantine Meances have been out here, harrasing divinity and demons alike for GENERATIONS on behalf of a Good Time, the Lols, and probably Humanity if they can be arsed and you make a good case.

W... What chance would there even BE of at least like? HALF those f*ckers(conflicted but affectionate) NOT becoming Realms Ghosts? With the sh*t they're exposed too? With THEIR luck??

You think DEATH can trick them? Take them away for good? Take away the local Rat B@stard, Tricks Gods Just To See If He Can, Fate Is My Second Mistress and I Cuckold Glory On Your Mother's Bed, Constantine?

They run down main street, *ss in the breeze, wearing someone else's shirt and two shoes that don't match, not a stitch else, like run away lovers. Let Death TRY and catch them. Sorry, Luv, it's not them, it's definitely you.

..........I bet they're the wooooorst~~✨️

No joke, I bet they set up a whole *ss TOWN of Constantine.

Where the odds are in THEIR favor, gods fear to tread, and reality straight out stops working right. Like Diagonal Ally for B*stards, extended to a whole floating island. Everyone's related. It's Chaos. They can barely stand each other. Would sell each other for a toothpick.

Mess with ANY off them... and you can kiss your afterlife good bye.

They have NO neighbors because both no ones dumb enough to get NEAR them AND no one can stand to be around that many Constantines at once. The physical Manifestation of Fate wants to take the whole LOT of the handsy F*CKS to court for child support and a restraining order.

Somehow... they keep getting Earth Booze.

They SHOULDN'T have access. It's been anywhere from decade to centuries since they died. Millennium for a few. Howms't The F*CK, do they keep getting cheap gin and vodka? Bourbon and beer? Even the odd fruity cocktail for funnies.

Please... PLEASE! Tell the Zone at large, that their innate birthright powers STOPPED at Death. They... they are just REALLY good at smuggling right? Excellent con men?

Tell us they can't f*ckin PREDICT AND INFLUENCE Natural Portals!!!

*smug sipping noises from a large room full of Dead @ssholes*

Okay... They Won't Tell You~ 🍺🍺🍺🍺🍺 *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip*

Now! I hear you ask? Why are John's Terrible, Terrible, God Awful Ghostly Relatives relevant? Absurdly powerful as they are... they seem to take the afterlife as an extended "Ha! GET F*CKED, DEMONS WHO WANTED MY SOUL!" Vacation/Family get together.

Minded their business and expected everyone to mind THEIRS, or ELSE.

Didn't give two solitary SH*TS that Pariah woke from his little nappy-poo to cause a tantrum. After all, in their family? When DOESN'T some "great and terrible Power That Be" get itself in a snit? Meh... it's baby Johnny's turn to clean sh*t up. Best of luck to 'im~!

But THEN!

They must've been drinking... making out with their equally terrible and bamf trainwreck significant others... sitting around playing "who can cheat best at cards"... when? Huh.

Never seen the Fate and The Odds... STRANGLE like that.

Billions of billions of What-Ifs, Maybes, Could-bes, and more... suddenly YANKED towards a single spot. The allowance of Only One Outcome. Almost like what they can do, but... not, WRONG, per say...

Just... impossible.

There's NEVER.. JUST one way this plays out. You can control the big notes. The script. But the details and set dressing will always decide themselves.

NO ONE can just... Decide What Will Happen. And yet?

...............was....... was that Little Johnny? Has to be. Right? Where's his old man? Oi! Was that your Kid??! John's closest relatives are baffled. Nope. They can still feel him laying a beat down on some demon in Norway. So then? Who?

How?

Well mark them CURIOUS(tm).

They decide to actually get up. Put their various drinks and cards down. Put pants on. Somebody's done something... INTERESTING(TM) and they want to know what's up. So? Off they trot.

It's traumatizing for everyone who sees them. The Constantines have breached f*ckin B*stard Containment and are spilling into the Zone. On this! The DAY Pariah Waged A War! THEY JUST GOT RID OF HIM!

And Danny? His everything hurts. The Eyeballs are starting to come out of the woodwork and ARGUE about him like he's not even there. He's DANGEROUS blah blah blah. Give them the crown. Right now! Etc etc.

Somethings telling him not too.

It's... it's HIS isn't it? Has been for centuries and seconds. And... and... everyone one of him is King. There is only one of him. The Zone covers all the multiverse and all of the Hims that were and aren't here and helped and... and...! His head is starting to hurt.

But the more they try to push him to hand it over, the less he feels like unhanding the dang gaudy thing. No. His now. He'll use it as a DOOR stopper if he dang well feels like it! Stop yelling.

Then all these blonde ghosts saunter in... and all he can think is "F*ck. I think they noticed."

Huh?

hello! can you do c-ck warming?

the f!reader is sitting on her boyfriend's lap, whimpering. she's c-ck warming him while he's on a meeting.

"shh.. you wouldn't want them to hear us, right?"

Kento Nanami x Reader (Instructed Silence) (NSFW)

I wasn't a hundred percent sure if you wanted this to be an unnamed male or just were leaving it open to interpretation/my choice, so I went with Nanami because it just felt the most right for him :)) NSFW below cut!

warnings: established relationship, cockwarming, slight praise if you squint, unprotected sex, light exhibitionism

word count: 1.2k

You hadn’t quite predicted that your actions would lead you to your current predicament. You’d been just a bit too needy and desperate, Nanami was getting ready for a virtual meeting with his company and had instructed to you be quiet and behave, but you were determined to do neither until you got what you wanted. That kind of bratty behaviour had led you to Nanami’s lap, seated on his cock and forced to remain still and silent.

The rough material of his sweatpants against your ass keeps you somewhat focused, but barely enough to be able to obey his instructions. He’d stayed almost completely clothed while you were stark naked, thanking whatever dignity you could still claim to scrape together that he didn’t have to turn his camera on. His face was infuriatingly neutral, looking down on you with unsympathetic eyes as tears slip from your eyes. “Nanami~” You whisper softly against his neck, hiding your face, “Please,” You hear him click a button before his hand returns to your hip, gripping softly. Always gentle with you despite the lack of emotion on his face, “You think you deserve to move?”

You clench around him, fingernails digging into his biceps as you shake your head. You whine again, wordlessly this time, squirming your hips and trying to get some friction or some semblance of a rhythm going, but your legs are like jelly and refuse to aid your desperate movements. He taps a finger to your lips, holding you speared down fully on his cock with oppressive strength, “Shh, you wouldn’t want them to hear us, right?” The hand at your lips reaches behind you for the mouse of the computer and your eyes widen with panic as you hear him click something, presumably the unmute button, curling your toes and screwing your eyes shut in the next moment to try and take your mind off the feeling of being so full but being unable to move.

His hands shift down to rest on your ass, holding you there with an unspoken warning as you feel him throbbing inside you. He pulls you slightly closer to him which changes the angle of his cock buried inside you and allows it to press insistently against your most sensitive spot, making you choke on a moan that you so desperately wish you could let out, swallowing it back down painfully instead. You’re in agony and Nanami is practically bathing in the satisfaction gained from the lesson he’s teaching you. A few more tears slip down your cheeks, falling onto your breasts as you try to even out your breathing, you did technically ask for this after all and you’re determined to do your best to hold out.

Unphased, he talks over your head into the laptop before him about some mundane topic you couldn’t care any less about even if you could hear what he was saying. One of your hands creeps up to the back of his head and you bury your face against his neck, breathing deeply and only ever so slightly curling your fingers in his hair, trying not to make it seem like you’re being bratty. You’re just looking for new thing to hold on to to keep yourself sane, and thankfully it doesn’t seem to bother him, but he does start to shift you back and forth on his lap which makes your breath catch in your throat as you hold back your noises once again.

You feel a pressure building up in your stomach and your lower body becomes tense, clenching around him as you grind down into his lap. The squelching is quiet but it makes your face flush hot, mouth partially open as you pant eagerly. It seems like he’s finally decided to humour you, giving you the stimulation you crave, but you soon find out why that is when you catch the word ‘goodbye’ falling from his lips.

You hear the laptop shut behind you and his hands shift it away and barely have a moment to open your eyes when he’s stood up and pushed you down onto the table, the backs of your thighs rubbing against his white cotton shirt and his hands gripping your calves, “You’re such a naughty girl,” He groans, finally beginning to thrust as your hands struggle to grip the smooth surface of the table. You’ve been silent for so long it seems like you’ve forgotten how to make noise altogether, arching your back with your mouth hanging agape, eyes unfocused and flickering around the cracks on the ceiling as you desperately try to hold onto reality.

“But I suppose you did stay quiet in the end, so I can’t really fault you,” You’re barely taking in his words, even now that he’s directly addressing you having ignored your desperation and your squirming for almost an hour. One of your hands reaches out for him and you finally tilt your head to look, he looks ravishingly handsome and you gasp as one of his hands slips down and he gently rubs the thumb against your swollen clit. His thrusts never falter, his hips against yours in a slow but hard pace that is bringing you steadily to your climax, like a trainwreck you can see coming a mile away. “Nanami!” You sob, your hips coming up off the table for a moment, high enough that it hurts for a moment when you drop them again, but you can’t care about that, not when you’re so close.

The hand on your clit finds the one reaching for you and he leans down slightly, putting you into a slight mating press, “You can do it my darling,” He murmurs, pressing his lips to the palm of your hand, “Come on, this is what you wanted, wasn’t it?” You nod, swallowing thickly. Your tongue is heavy and your head full of cotton as the knot in your stomach slowly unravels, leaving you a whimpering mess beneath him as he leans further into your space, pushing insistently into you as your entire body seizes with the most intense orgasm you think you’ve ever felt.

“Nanami!” You cry out again, throwing your head back and arching your back, hands flying around his torso to dig your nails into his back. An afterthought of annoyance for his shirt only barely disturbs the moment as your body fills with euphoria like a jug being filled with water. “Y/n,” He murmurs in reply, pushing his hips once more and spilling his warmth deep inside you, his body heavy and hot as he rests on his elbows either side of your head.

The sounds of heavy breathing fill the room, you can’t keep up with your fast racing heart. His elbows shift until his hands can slip under and cradle the back of your head, pressing small kisses to your jawline, “Was that too much?” He murmurs softly and you let out a huff of laughter, loosening your grip on his back, “Perfect,” You manage to sigh out, eyes fluttering shut with exhaustion. He smiles against your skin, taking a few deep breaths before pulling out. You shudder at the feeling of his cum spilling out of you but he gently fingers some of it back in, “Come on, let’s get you cleaned up,” His arms slip around your back and he lifts you into his arms where you cling to him like a baby monkey, still caught in the afterglow of bliss, now heightened with his love and care.

Thanks for my first request btw, I enjoyed writing this once I got into the swing of it!!

for two weeks now @septembermonologues and I have been fully insane about a possible/probable dorym reunion tonight

we’ve gathered all the clues, including:

• dorian headed to zephrah after orym’s ‘find the tempest’ message (which @septembermonologues predicted) • dorian dice in the cr shop

• the dorian dice has the bell’s hells logo and not the crown keepers logo (well spotted, @evilauthor!) • the dorian storm camp shirt • the cr shopfront devoted to dorian merch

• the official cr twitter account retweeting dorym fanart (thank you for your continued service, @teaweltzer 🫡)

• liam wearing the dorian storm camp shirt • within the bh timeline keyleth just let imogen know she’s going to try to get to them as soon as she can (maybe as soon as the next morning), and • within the ck timeline dorian already got the ‘find the tempest’ message weeks ago and since they’re currently on their way to zephrah they will soon be able to tell keyleth directly ‘orym told us to find you,’ and • dorian will likely get the ‘I’m struggling’ message any minute, WHICH MEANS • as soon as dorian gets to keyleth he can make it clear he needs to get to orym and SHE CAN TAKE HIM WITH HER

[she-posts-nerdy-stuff]

Just re-listening to my ck audiobook and I realised that the oyster knife Kaz used to cut Oomen’s eye out in six of crows is the same oyster knife that Inej uses to kill a Stadwatch officer in Crooked Kingdom by throwing it so it hits him directly between the eyes. Not only is this a great Kanej parallel, but it could also be symbolically representative of their approaches to violence; Kaz’s is slow, deliberate, designed more than anything else to cause pain and to bring across his point, whilst Inej’s is faster, neater, and perhaps more predictable in action because she has clear purpose and intent whilst Kaz’s true intentions are buried beneath layers of façade. She kills this officer on the bridge during the hostage exchange, and Kaz famously kills Oomen after he attacked Inej, so the use of the same knife could also be representative of Kaz’s care for and need to protect Inej, emphasised by him giving her the oyster knife in the seconds before the kill in crooked kingdom. It could also be linked back to Kaz being the one who gave Inej her first knives and how empowered she felt by him believing her to be “dangerous” - even when she thinks she’s going to die she considers what will become of her knives, and decides that “perhaps they could go to some other girl who dreamed of being dangerous”. It’s these moments, these seemingly tiny things Kaz does, that truly solidify him for her and give us so much understanding of all the specific reasons she loves him.

Loved 4-Sided Dive last night (especially that hilarious card game at the end). But I appreciated what Matt said about Dariax being on the ace spectrum and seeing Dorian as someone he admired and aspired to be like, like an older brother figure, because that’s exactly the vibe I got from him the entire time. (Wow, he’s good at acting, who could have predicted this.)

I guess it’s just nice to see that not everything has to be romantic, especially when many aspects of a character’s story and personality often feels read through shipping goggles. I say this as someone who has only clocked and shipped the canon pairings throughout the whole of Critrole (and is also on the ace spectrum). Sometimes it’s nice to appreciate the platonic relationships between characters, which are just as valid and important.

Other notes:

- We all knew Orym had feelings for Dorian, right??

- Aimee is hilarious. I need to see her in more games.

- Loved that Dariax would have stayed until the end to save Opal. (Glad she forced him to leave.)

- The whole CK arc and what BH just experienced is going to make for an interesting episode this Thursday.
