#xolo plot

[effortlesslysweet]

i rewatched blue beetle for the plot...... i swear

[ambcass]

Betrayed.

“I can’t stand him!” Y/N exclaimed, throwing a fit while walking with her best friend, Jaime Reyes. Her anger made her walk faster, making Jaime chase after her. It all started when Jaime noticed Y/N distancing herself from him and he asked why, she said it was nothing and just to mind his own business. During their gym class, Jaime noticed how violet Y/N was when playing a dodgeball match but he couldn’t help to notice how her arm was bruised. He also wondered how she was able to throw and dodge a ball like that. That bruise made him realize that it was the same spot where he hit a specific villain last night. The thought of his best friend being a villain hurts him. He tried removing the thought but it just came back every time he tried to shake it off. After school and on his way home, he spotted Y/N and decided to walk up to her. 

“I know you probably don’t wanna talk about your problems right now but ya’know I’m here for you…” Jaime suggested with a soft smile. Y/N turned to him with a dull expression and kept moving forward. Jaime once again followed up in front of her, “Can I at least walk with you? I do feel bad and I can’t stand to see you like this” Jaime pleaded, making Y/N give in. She nodded and the two started walking to the local 7-11 store. On their way, Y/N randomly blurted out “I can’t stand him!” and started marching towards the store angrily. Jaime followed up, hoping to hear more about this mystery guy. “Who? Who’s bothering you?” Jaime asked. Y/N scoffed as she opened the store door.

“You don’t know him…” She said, trying to keep her cool. She couldn’t expose herself to a guy who would most likely betray him to the heroes. “At least you can describe him. I’ll get a better idea of who the hell the guy is. If he is that much of a bother to you then I’ll make sure he gets it coming.” Y/N started chuckling, “And what the hell are you gonna do to this guy? But fine. He’s annoying, always on my ass, and doesn’t stop until he gets his way. Which annoys me because he went way too far yesterday.” Jaime stop to think too far? What does she mean too far? She was the one causing harm and trying to poison the water supply. Is it her? Please... Please… tell me that (villain name) isn’t you, Y/N. Jaime then felt Y/N nudge him. She mouthed you okay?  and Jaime nodded. They went inside the store and went to the chip aisle. When reaching for a bag of Takis, the sides of their hands touched each other. The two retracted immediately and looked away embarrassed.

“So…What did he do that was too far?” Jaime asked, trying to change the subject. Y/N grabbed that bag of Takis and walked off to a different aisle. “He- uh… I-I can’t say. Sorry.” Y/N tried to explain but she knew that Jaime wouldn’t believe her. Jaime gave a sympathetic nod. When the two finished paying for their food, they said goodbye and left. 

Y/N’s POV

It was very late at night. Almost 4 AM. I had to wait for the perfect time to cause any harm to anyone. Two nights ago, stupid Blue Beetle roundhouse kicked the shit out of me. I thought to myself when I find this bug, I swear I’m going to fucking smash and kill it. As I aggressively put on my suit, a shadowy reflection flew past my window and they left a sticky note on the outside of my window saying “Meet me on top of the xxx building. Rooftop –BB.”  I rushed to my window, opened it, and snatched the sticky note. The writing was in all blue ink. I knew who this was. My heart started beating fast, I felt nauseous and anxious. How was he able to find where I live? Was one of the many questions racing in my mind. I crushed the paper and tossed it over my bed as I finished changing into my suit. I flew out the window and headed towards the address. As I was flying there, I tried to retract where I went wrong and how I blew my cover so easily. Nothing came to mind and while trying to come up with another explanation, I had already arrived. There was a figure lurking in the shadows, eyeing me down as I landed on the rooftop of the building. 

“Come out, Beetle. I see you in the shadows. Hey, if you were a Shadow then you wouldn’t even make it out of Santa Prisca alive. Your dumb blue armor gives you away” I teased, crossing my arms as Blue Beetle slowly came into the light. I glared into his eyes and stepped closer. Pulling out (some type of weapon) out and pointing towards him. “How did you find me? How did you find where I live?” Blue Beetle didn’t answer but he simply just stepped forward. “Y/n…” Beetle murmured. Y/n? What the fuck? How did he know? I stood there in silence. He walked closer, closer, and closer, but I didn’t move a muscle. Now he was in front of me. I looked down at the rooftop floor while feeling Blue Beetle’s hand reach for my arm. I looked up at him and snarled.“Don’t touch me.” He immediately let go and sighed. 

“Why Y/n? Why would you go through this path? You know better than this.”  He said, trying to get an answer from me. I knew better than to answer. After all, anything I say can and will go against me.  As I was still glaring into his eyes, his face armor started to retract back to his suit. I broke eye contact and turned my head away, refusing to lock eyes with him. No, no, no…not him. Not him!  My head started to get foggy and blank. I felt nauseous and took a few steps back. I couldn’t believe that the boy that I cared for, my best friend, Jaime Reyes, is a fucking traitor and gave me that awful beating two nights ago.  “Look Y/n, can we please talk about this? Please just hear me out.” I ignored his suggestion. Still not looking at him. I was angry, betrayed, and sad. Tears wanted to come out of my eyes but I held back. With a sour look on my face, I gazed into Jaime’s eyes and mouthed “I’m sorry”  He looked at me with confusion. “I’m sorry? Sorry for what?” he asked, looking at me like a pathetic pleasing bitch. I shook my head repetitively and walked towards the edge of the rooftop. I leaped off of it, disappearing and never to be seen again.

Jaime’s POV:

I rushed after Y/N when I saw her leap off the edge of the rooftop but when I tried looking for her, she was nowhere to be seen. I attached my face armor back and flew back home. As I was flying back, I kept thinking to myself What does she mean when she said she���s sorry? What was she sorry for? Days went on and I haven’t seen Y/N attack since. Which is probably a good thing but she wasn’t at school either. It’s like she disappeared from the face of Earth. A few months went by and I still haven’t seen Y/N at all! I asked around at school such as Paco, Brenda, and the staff but they haven’t seen her. I talked to the principal but I didn’t get much from him. The only thing I got from him was that Y/N is no longer in their school system.

When I was dismissed from school, Brenda and Paco both offered to walk me home but I declined. Once I got home, I didn’t even think of patrolling for the night. I just wanted to rest. I can’t help the feeling but I miss Y/N. 

I woke up to a crowd outside of my house screaming and yelling but I couldn’t hear anything. My mom rushed into my room screaming into my ear but I couldn’t understand what she was saying for I was still half asleep. She dragged my arm into the living room and turned my attention to the TV. The news reporter was saying something but for some reason, I couldn’t understand what it was that he was saying until I started reading the words that were displayed on the screen. My face froze, I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.

I wanted to do a fic with dad Ralph Macchio, but I figured that alone wouldn't be interesting so I added Xolo as a romantic interest. Lowkey starts kinda crappy but gets better as the story evolves

I also kept his real kids out of this because I didn't feel comfortable including them

Cobra Kai has a tone-deaf problem.

Now, I am a Black woman so all of my observations are through the lenses of that. You can critique my words all you want, but don't be disrespectful because I will be equally as disrespectful in the replies.

I have this phenomenon that I've noticed for a lot of shows I have watched that I call "The Leo Dooley effect," inspired by character from the Disney XD show Lab Rats, where the main character, a POC who set the tone for the whole story, is surrounded by a white ensemble cast that slowly but surely pushes that character aside to serve their purpose.

Cobra Kai does the same thing with Miguel Diaz, as he seems to be the sole reason why any of these things on the show are happening (for better or for worse) and gets one of the worst character driven storylines throughout the series post-coma (I rewrote his story on my blog. Go find it under the Miguel or Xolo hashtags) to further make the show The Robby Show (we'll get into the tone-deaf writing of his character this past season in a minute). He becomes a shell of a character, empty, boring, and in the sidelines all up until the final season, where the writers seem to remember *snaps fingers* oh shit, Miguel's one of our protagonists, and writes an okay story for him. Better than his s5 plot, but not as good as the stuff we got in s1, 2, and the last half of 3 and 4.

Now, s6 has him in his true prime (not in the way people claimed he was in the past seasons). He's got a clear mind, he's goals-oriented, you wouldn't even be able to tell that this kid was paralyzed from the waist down a year ago (in-universe time). However, he's out-performing everyone, was single-handedly saving his team, and it wasn't even enough for Johnny. It was very interesting to watch as People of Color, especially Black and Brown people, tend to have to go above and beyond to prove that we're the shit, but it'll never amount to anything if our white associates (minus Devon in this case - more on her later) aren't doing anything. But the second they do, everyone is getting praised. Miguel knocked his opponent out in forty seconds. FORTY SECONDS. But because the team wasn't doing good overall, he got no attention. I know that feeling all too well and it sucks.

As much as I thought Johnny's "Miguel is our anchor" line was powerful, it also didn't at the same time. The Magical Negro is such an annoying stereotype, as well as the Strong Black Woman/Man, and the Brown and Asian variations that come with it.

Miguel is the Brown equivalent of the Magical Negro, trying to tell the white Johnny what's right and wrong. Teaching him what's okay to say and what's not, despite Johnny being grown enough to probably understand shit on his own. He basically is teaching Johnny in a sense despite the fact that it should be the other way around. And I know that's a typical mentor/mentee thing trope but with how the show goes out of its way to show how self aware of modern problems it is, it's hella tone-deaf.

In terms of the Strong Black Man trope (or in this case Brown), Miguel isn't always strong. He breaks down and cries pretty often but it's viewed by the fandom as annoying, weak, and pathetic, as well as not manly which pisses me all the way off because every time he gets emotional, it's with valid reason. Losing his girlfriend (both times), finding out he's paralyzed, apologizing for running away, his mom possibly dying, not getting into Stanford (tho this would've had more of a punch if Stanford actually mattered but it doesn't whatever). Also, he's a 16/17 year old Brown kid in poverty who was embarrassingly bullied MULTIPLE TIMES. You're telling me you didn't cry as a kid? But when Robby cries every once in a while (which is also equally as valid because he was also a kid in poverty who was bullied), everyone holds his hand and says "it's okay."

"He's our anchor." It just sounds so off to me. Like has to be the one to help everyone else, when you have two Captains who can do the exact same thing. We as POCs have to be the ones to hold down the fort and keep things steady on our backs while white people can settle for mediocrity and not have to do to much because "hey, the POCs got us." It's just like that "if you're in danger, find a Black woman" thing. Because we're expected to be the ones to save y'all when y'all are in trouble. But when the roles reverse, we're expected to save ourselves because we're strong. Y'all don't like it when Miguel isn't emotionally or physically tough because y'all expect him to push through since he's the main character, but it also feels like he's expected to push through because he's a Brown boy in poverty so he's been through enough.

Tory's "we have to fight to get a spot in life" speech was well performed by Peyton List but it felt strange to see a white woman explain privilege to a Brown boy who has less privilege in comparison to her. I have always had a problem with that scene and I never won't have an issue with it.

Moving on to Kenny. Kenny is the only Black character of current time to be in the ensemble. Aisha was on the show but left ofc. Kenny, like Miguel was brutally picked on, primarily by white kids, especially by white rich boy Anthony LaRusso. In the fandom Anthony tends to be the more favored overall. Kenny is primarily favored on the Black side of the fandom (much like Miguel). Similar to Miguel, there was a moment in s6 part two that may have not been intentional but in my eyes, felt very racially targeted.

Hawk and Demetri were very skeptical towards Kenny because they assumed that he was working with Silver despite the fact that Kenny didn't even want to do the Sekai Tekai to begin with after he became publicly bullied again. During a round of tag-teamed fighting, the boys refused to let Kenny in, causing them to lose the round due to Robby not being prepared to be tagged in (he thought they were gonna tag Kenny). Kenny gets mad, rightfully so but the boys didn't back down on their theory (the only reason this theory was even a thing was because they say Kenny and Silver talking and assumed the worst). It took the team's "anchor" to give Robby a pep talk to lead and the others will follow (you know, something a Captain should already know) for Kenny to get the attention he deserves. And then Hawk and Demetri finally accept Kenny. All because the white guy said "hey, we should tag him in."

That sounds so off in so many ways.

It wasn't intentional, I know. But the fact that this was something that happened and the boys didn't even apologize to Kenny after for the assumptions they made only furthers my point on how tone deaf this show can get. Amanda, Miguel, and Robby are literally the only people who see Kenny as more than just a Silver puppet and it sucks because Hawk and Demetri were in the same spot as Kenny once upon a time.

And then there's Devon, the overworking, overwhelmed Asian girlie who tries her hardest to seek validation and gets overlooked. Similar to Miguel in this new part, Devon got ignored badly in the first part. It was so bad that she cheated to get into the Sekai Tekai and got her ass handed to her. And like Miguel, it takes her to have to explain to her white sensei that she's being ignored for him for her to be taken seriously. She's not the best fighter by any means but I thought we were done with this Asian stereotype years ago. And the way Sam talked to her after literally celebrating her victory with all smiles and everything in the first part??? Like it felt so fake as hell.

Finally, Robby. Robby is written well, we all know that. But this shit that they did to him in the second part pissed me off, especially since it's not gonna get addressed apparently. So Robby gets drunk at a bar and basically follows Zara back to her hotel room. Next time we see them, he's disoriented, and she's kissing him. I'm sorry, but that's sexual assault, yes? Robby was drunk and didn't remember anything. So that's her taking advantage of him, yes? Well the creator apparently doesn't think so and is saying that Robby made a mistake and that the interaction won't be talked about next part.

Bitch, Robby is a VICTIM.

Zara sexually assaulted him. Just because he's a man doesn't change the fact that the man got taken advantage of by Zara.

Like did we watch the same scene?

This show has so many problems and I feel like since it's a show about fighting no one cares. But as a Black woman, I see this shit and in between the lines, there's so many issues that won't even get fixed because the show is over.

hi hi !! i am nebula and i am legal (19+). i also go by she/they pronouns and am currently looking for some long term 1x1 rp partners or just some rp groups to write with. ❤︎︎

i tend to write descriptive, 3rd person point of view in past tense… up to 3-5 long paragraphs ( advanced lit or even novella ) !! but i usually like to just mirror my partner’s style.

i have no preference as to what kind of dynamics i write for (whether it be mxm, wxm, wxw, wxnb, mxnb, etc) 🫶

i don’t have many triggers so i can write about most topics, but i will respect my partner’s triggers and not write about the topics they are uncomfortable with :3

i have a lot of ocs !! so i do have a mixture of both female and male muses that i write for !! but here are some of my preferred fcs:

• female: jang yeeun, song yuqi, kim gaeul, bae joohyun, chou tzuyu, ning yizhuo, fukutomi tsuki, kim minji, pham hanni, maitreyi ramakrishnan, jenna ortega, go younjung, jung hoyeon, lara rajagopalan, zhang miaoyi, rayna vallandingham, choi sungeun, jung somin, kim siyoon, park sohyun, chae soobin

• male: wen junhui, park seonghwa, park junhee, bae jacob, manny jacinto, sung hanbin, han hyeongjun, park seokjun, mackenyu, shin hakyun, xolo maridueña, tanner buchanan, heo namjun, nam yoonsu, cha hakyeon, wagner moura, lee soohyuk, cillian murphy, sam claflin

i am fairly active during the day and my replies to tend to be fast !! however if i am busy with things (uni and work) i will let my partner know in advance 🫡 i would expect the same from my partner. life gets busy and things happen !! i will respect that.

as i am of legal age, i would want my partners to be 18+ as well… and i am comfortable with writing about any sort of connection (whether they be platonic, romantic, or negative, etc) !!

i usually prefer to write and rp on discord, but i can definitely give tumblr a try !! it will just take me some time to understand how rp-ing works there 😭

also i would love to make spotify playlists and pinterest boards for our ocs ★ as well as talking about small headcannons for them along the way ! hopefully we can form a little friendship and makes the plotting more enjoyable that way (≧◡≦) ♡

if you are interested, please don’t hesitate to reach out and dm me !! or you can just like or reblog this post and i can directly dm you as well. ♥︎

there are so many great moments in this movie, but my favorites:

- the fact that jaime and the beetle are both like "we are not killers!" meanwhile the entire reyes family is 100% down with murder. Straight up they kill at least 12 people

- jaime, the first on-screen male superhero to canonically have something up his asshole (plot point)

- a joke about jaime's dick size like we don't know xolo mariduena has a baseball bat between his legs

- milagro and the nod towards her being green lantern

- maria del el bairro

- jenny dropping that line in portuguese made my ENTIRE session scream

- chapulin colorado!

- the conclusion of the movie being that the real villain is American power piting latinos against each other

- absolutely hilarious that they didn’t even TRY to make it subtle that they want jason sudeikis to play ted kord. The painting of ted and his family is literally a portrait of jason sudeikis

It had been a wonderful Día de los Muertos, the first where Miguel could honestly say his entire heart and soul had been poured into it. It wasn't the best feeling to realize he hadn't been as into things as he should have been, but to actually have seen the Land of the Dead...well, he understood now.

"Make sure you change before you go to the graveyard!"

"Sí mamá!" As much as Miguel loved the charro outfit abuelita had personally made for him, he was more than happy to slip into jeans and a tank top to cool off, eyeing the guitar in the corner with a grin as he grabbed his new hoodie from his closet. It had taken months for the historical society that looked over things like Papá Héctor's guitar to allow his family the honor of placing it in the shrine they'd all built for Héctor's poems and notes. Miguel took care to clean it every day after they had finally been given the rights to it, and after about a month, Enrique had unhooked it from its case and waited for Miguel to come home from school.

"You are allowed to play it here at home, special shows, and on Día de los Muertos with permission."

His son could have blinded the world with his smile, the teen letting out the loudest grito Santa Cecilia had ever heard.

Now, it was slung across his back as Miguel ran to the graveyard, waving at familiar faces as he crossed the threshold. The area belonging to his family was tucked into one of the far sides, not far from the Marigold Bridge he'd crossed last year. Miguel scowled when he eyed Ernesto's mausoleum along the way, quickly looking around before giving the bust a middle finger before he took his familiar route along the side of the marble structure.

Hah, did you see that! I am so proud of my little chamaco!

A familiar laugh freezes Miguel in place, and for a moment, he looks around, only to shrug. He knows Papá Héctor would have laughed, or so he hoped, and Miguel smiles when he finally sees the worn tombstones adorned with the cempazuchitl he'd spent time carefully placing with his little sister. Some of the mariachi from around town had offered to keep an eye on the site from the many burgeoning fans of Héctor Rivera away from where he'd been laid to rest, tipping their hats before moving a little ways away for privacy. Miguel smiled when it was finally just himself, shifting the guitar so he could start strumming whatever little tune came to his mind as he took a seat in the grass.

"I hope you all had a great time tonight, I know I have." Miguel began, eyes drifting over to the two new additions to the family plot. The first was Mamá Coco's, the woman having passed three months after Miguel had returned with a song that revived her memory and hopefully saved her father. On the other side of the plot was the second new headstone, one that had been missing for far too long.

Héctor Rivera

Loving Father Husband and Musician

Recuérdame

"We found you Papá Héctor...had you buried about two weeks ago." Miguel sighed as he picked at the beginning notes to Un Poco Loco. "Papá let me play your guitar all day, and everyone closed down so they could attend, which was really nice. They wanted to give you Er-his mausoleum, but Mamá Elena said she'd rather burn it down than keep you away from Mamá Imelda any longer." The memory of watching the historical committee flinching at her legendary chancla made Miguel laugh to himself, and his tempo increased a little as he looked back at the invisible bridge. "I miss you guys."

We miss you too nino, last year was certainly exciting!

Miguel nearly dropped Héctor's guitar as he jerked around, knowing for a fact he had heard someone this time.

"Hola? Someone there?" Aside from some townsfolk celebrating a good few feet away, no one else seemed close enough for Miguel to hear so clearly. That changed a moment later when he heard Dante's familiar barking, the Xolo appearing to the world from seemingly nowhere to bound over to Miguel, knocking the boy onto his back to lick at his face.

Dante, get off the poor boy!

Miguel giggled as he lightly pushed Dante off of him, only to freeze when a skeletal hand covered in an orange glow grabbed the alebreije by the scruff of his neck. Said hand belonged to his Tía Rosita, his great-great aunt not noticing that Miguel could see her until Dante was let go, the taller woman freezing before a wide grin crossed her face.

Miguel?

"T-Tía Rosita?" Miguel quickly scrambled up and onto his feet, eyeing her with disbelief as he slowly reached for her hand, fully expecting to phase through her like he had with the living last year.

He did not, and found himself smothered into a tight hug as he let out a loud laugh of disbelief.

Now I don't want to accuse you of anything, but you didn't steal from an ofrenda this year, did you? Miguel pulled back when she finally cleared her throat, one eyebrow raised as he frantically shook his head.

"N-No, I learned my lesson, promise! I don't kno- wait! I-I've been hearing people since I left the house." Miguel grabbed his right arm when he thought of a familiar voice he'd sworn he'd imagined a few minutes ago, and his Tía smiled in understanding. "Is...?"

Come on, I think someone will be happy to see you. Tía Rosita held out her arm for Miguel to link with after he slung his bisabuelo's guitar over his shoulder. To the living, it looked like Miguel was escorting an invisible person through the graveyard and out into town, the boy stuffing an earbud into his ear to make it look like he was on the phone as he filled Rosita in on some of his personal life. There were skeletons every which way Miguel looked now, and while some may have noticed with a start, they mostly left the duo alone as they headed across town to a small park Miguel had been to only once or twice. He could see Mamá Coco dancing with Papá Julio as Héctor played for them, having perched himself up into the branches of the large tree that cast shade to most of the park in the daytime. Victoria sits on a bench watching with a soft smile, sometimes looking away when Óscar and Felipe laugh about something, going through the offerings the Rivera's had left for them. Mamá Imelda was sitting at the base of the tree, just keeping a gentle eye on her family while occasionally glancing up at her husband, a soft look Miguel could never have imagined crossing her face every time she laid eyes on him. Naturally, she's the first to see him, and for a moment, she has to take in the way Rosita ruffles his hair before she shoots up and onto her feet.

Miguel?!

There's a loud twang as the music comes to an abrupt halt, six pairs of eyes shooting over to where Miguel and Rosita stood arm in arm, but the child is only focused on one set in particular.

"P-Papá Héctor?" A year's worth of anxiety melts away at the sight of his stunned bisabuelo, and despite being thirteen years old now, Miguel can't stop the tears that blur his vision. It had been agony not knowing if he'd been fast enough that morning, and familiar arms were scooping Miguel up and against familiar bones before a sob tears itself from his throat.

I've got you chamaco, todo va a salir bien.

Miguel could feel others coming up to hug him, but all he could focus on was the man holding him. His bones were still stained with age and his brush with the Final Death, but after Miguel wiped some tears from his face, he noticed they were a good shade brighter than he saw that infamous night. Sobs of pent anxiety turn to sobs of joy as he hugs Héctor as tight as he could, only to giggle when the poor man's head pops off and into his hands.

"Lo siento!" Héctor and Miguel stared at each other before the elder snorted in amusement. Imelda gently reassembled her husband as the two dissolved into laughter, eyes rolling good-naturedly as the family finally stepped back to give them space.

So, would anyone like to explain? Victoria eventually spoke up, unable to keep the small smile off her face as she watched Miguel and Héctor giggle at each other. You didn't steal from an ofrenda again, right?

"Why is that the first assumption!" The teen huffed, pointedly avoiding the looks sent his way, along with Felipe's prodding to make sure no skeleton parts were becoming visible. "No I did not, I just...well, I don't know!"

It could be

A side effect?

"Maybe?" Miguel shrugged, smiling a little when Imelda took one of his hands and gently squeezed it. "I..it's really nice to see all of you, I uh, I've thought about you every day."

As have we corazón, in fact, it's hard not to with all you did for us last year. Miguel grinned when Julio ruffled his hair, heart constricting when he saw the smile on his Mamá Coco's face. Socorro couldn't get enough of hearing about your adventure last year.

My intelligent little bisnieto, you have definitely taken after papá. If he had been able to, Héctor would have fallen to pieces at the statement, settling instead for a loud sniffle and squeeze of the boy in his arms.

As much as they all wanted to stay in this happy little bubble, the sky was getting lighter as sunrise came ever closer. Miguel escorted his dead family back to the bridge, one hand firmly holding Héctor's as the other was in Coco's, Dante trotting beside his master with happy barks.

"Do you think I'll be able to see you again next year?" Miguel asked when they finally came to a stop beside the barrier, rubbing his right arm with a hesitant smile.

Maybe, maybe not. We will always be here regardless, don't ever forget that Miguel. Imelda knelt down, giving him a small hug before kissing his forehead. We will always love you, visible or not.

She's always right, you know. Héctor laughed, hanging back as everyone hugged the teen before crossing the barrier and out of Miguel's sight. Soon, only Héctor remained, the taller man kneeling down to hug Miguel as close as he could.

"I hope I get to see you every year...I miss you so much Papá Héctor,:

I do too, I'm so so proud of you. Miguel smiled as he looked up at his ancestor, pulling away despite never wanting to let go. He wouldn't be able to handle any sort of delay in getting his Papá Héctor to safety, aware the sun was close to breaching the horizon.

"You should go home, Papá Héctor; no last-minute saves here." He sniffled, watching Héctor get to his feet and look over at Santa Cecilia with a soft smile.

Get some rest chamaco, I'll see you next year. With one last ruffle of Miguel's hair, Héctor smiled and took his step through the barrier, leaving the teen standing alone at the edge of the graveyard.

"Yea...I'll see you next year." Miguel smiled as he began to whistle, the idea for a new song forming as he headed home.

So far, it's definitely the best Día de los Muertos he's ever had!

Thanks so much for this!! Also gonna tag @dancingsunflowers-ocs, @endless-oc-creations, @negative-speedforce-ocs, @aceyanaheim, and @ginevrastilinski-ocs!! <3 <3

NAME: Pedro Becerra.

FACECLAIM: Xolo Maridueña.

LOVE INTEREST: Bruno Carrelli.

SUMMARY: Ever since the four of them were young, it had seemed to be Pedro, Bruno, Kamala, and Nakia against the world. They had been the best of friends for so long, each of them bringing their own special thing to the group - Bruno’s brain and inventions, Nakia’s confidence and determination, Kamala’s enthusiasm and passion for superhero fanfic, and Pedro’s charm and endless supply of jokes - that, to Pedro at least, it had seemed like nothing would ever be able to break them apart. But now Kamala and Bruno are keeping secrets, and Pedro finds himself developing feelings for Bruno, who might have feelings for Kamala, who might have feelings for an entirely new guy, and Pedro finds himself forced to wonder if this belief he’s held on to for so long might be proven wrong after all, and that he might lose his group of steadfast friends altogether.

send me a fandom and a faceclaim/love interest and i’ll make an oc!!

♡ day 4: miguel diaz ♡

sooo there's a lot that could theoretically be said about miguel right? he's a really good fighter, he makes mistakes but usually a really good person, he has a really strong/dedicated/supportive personality? blah blah blah, i wanna get into the MAIN reason i love miguel

MI GENTE LATINO 🗣️

okay so basically growing up with these characters has meant a lot to me. but miguel specifically was such an important part of my development. when i first started the show, johnny and daniel yeah cool great, the legacy lives on, whatever. BUT WHEN THEY SHOWED MIGUEL, i was awestruck. obviously this was at a time when hispanic/latino culture was entering the mainstream in america/internationally but to see a character on screen as the main character who isn't entirely played off as a stereotype for jokes?? hell yeah !

the showrunners making miguel such a powerful and kind-hearted character meant, and still does mean, so much to me as a latino kid. it was so cool and heart-warming to see him up there just absolutely beating the odds and being the coolest. and yeah, there are a couple race jokes (which admittedly i think are really funny) but overall carmen, rosa, and miguel are sosososo important to me and i will never get over the fact that miguel was probably the first time i personally saw a latino lead in a primarily white show

and i'm sure xolo knows this but i cannot be the only one who appreciated miguel and what he meant for television and i'm so glad xolo got a saturn award for miguel bc he really deserved it. miguel and (off-topic but) jaime reyes (blue beetle) mean the world to me and i will never be over them i fear. so to all the miguel haters, you can hate, you can say the writers have no clue what they're doing and he's a bad character, whatever i don't care, miguel is forever my heart (not even just a part, he IS my heart) and he will always mean the world to me, okay? okay. now we move on to business.

his relationship with carmen and rosa is peak. his relationship with johnny is AMAZING and carries the show so hard (it's harder to enjoy knowing robby is right there but i digress). his bonding with daniel in s4 is truly amazing. the way his potential dynamic with any given miyagi-do kid would work and be cute is an amazing feat.

my brain kind of skipped over his paralysis storyline when i started planning what to write in this. which seems CRAZY bc that's his biggest story. but i think the reason i skipped over it was bc the writers seem to have a tendency to employ really interesting conflicts and plots and then abandon them without any meaningful callback. so why don't we get a meaningful callback to his possible ptsd from the fall in s5/6? (ESPECIALLY s6, but i digress) (maybe they'll use it as another motivation for miguel in the end) ("look at everything you've been through, miguel, you can beat anything ! 🤩" /s)

miguel's fall from the second story was insane, right? i remember watching with my mom and both of us sat there in silence while he fell, then flinched and looked away when he hit the railing. they ate SO HARD with that finale, it was amazing how enraptured we were. and i KNOW we weren't the only ones. i've seen reaction videos and this was a moment that really pulled everyone in, everyone felt the shock, everyone wanted to know how miguel was going to come back from this. THIS, to me, is what pulled that final group of viewers. this is the most important part of the show, even six years later.

the show had a good following from youtube, then got a bigger following in season 2 (and from moving to netflix obviously). but this finale is the one EVERYONE still talks about. there are STILL edits made about miguel's fall. the s6 brawl was great but nothing will ever compare to that fall bc it demonstrated the tension that was built up and the gradual change of the four main characters in such a GORGEOUS way. stay with me

(i'd also like to preface this by saying i'm a miguel-plot truther, i truly believe the writers see miguel as THE main character for the teen cast. basically he IS the plot, he is an in-universe reflection of the overarching plot, and therefore anything that occurs plot-wise is going to affect or be affected by miguel in some way. no hate to any other character !! this is my perspective as a writer, you can ignore if you don't like that ig 😭)

so season 2 was great for several reasons, but for now, we're focusing on the love...square(?) of tory, robby, miguel, and sam.

so we start with miguel starring as the dweeb, sam as the mean rich girl (though that was just demetri's perception of her, not actually who she was), robby as the delinquent troublemaker, and tory as the self-assured new girl. now, WE as viewers know they're so much more complex than that, both on first watch and in hindsight; they have to be more complex, otherwise we wouldn't be watching the show. but this is their perceived roles in the grand scheme, in the social hierarchy, in the eyes of their peers, etc.

by the end of season one (except tory obviously), robby has become like daniel: balanced, kind, focused, and righteous), sam has evolved into the nice girl with a big heart, and miguel has become the alpha jerk that has a loyal band of followers right behind him, waiting to cause mischief and wreak havoc. again, OBVIOUSLY we know exactly how and why they change and exactly why they're perceived like this. we see miguel's anxiety spiral about losing sam, we see johnny unintentionally showing him how to be cool by asserting dominance (we also know that johnny failed with ali for that exact reason, though he and miguel don't know that). and we see exactly why robby takes to miyagi-do, why he's driven to take daniel's teachings to heart, bc we know how johnny and his mom have treated him. and with sam, we see that she's just a normal teenage girl, she wants to be pretty and popular but she's not mean. however comma, they don't see this context in each other, and therefore, tensions rise.

a general rule of thumb for the whole show: everything is about perspective, balance, and misunderstandings.

after spending a whole season with tory, we see each of the little instances that drives tory away from being her initial introduction into the angry, revenge-seeking (probably insecure) villain she's made out to be in later seasons. we see every moment her eyes get a little duller, a little darker when she knows she's being compared to sam, when she knows sam is seen as better than her, and for what? what does sam have that she doesn't? so she changes.

by the end of season two, miguel shifts into a mix of his two sides: he is the kind boy he used to be but also a confident and capable fighter. robby throughout the season gets progressively more frustrated with miyagi-do being purely defense and peace, wondering why daniel won't just let them fight back against cobra kai or demonstrate the miyagi-do fighting style instead of katas to attract new students. and sam gets progressively more embarrassed and frustrated with tory's presence and the fact that she's dating miguel; she loses her dignity every time she tries to get back at tory, and slowly chips away at that pure-hearted reputation she built up in season one.

so all of them flip-flopped to either side of the spectrum right? which makes the finale that much better ! personally, sam's peak pendulum moment was the whole party, being petty and going low enough to get back at tory with the drinking game, being her sassy self toward robby, then kissing miguel at the end. then, in the fight, tory becoming violent enough to actually start a fight and also scar sam's arm, miguel (at the end) deciding to take mercy on robby, in a moment that very much could've ended like the golf n' stuff fight. instead it ends with robby's full swing all the way to the angry side of the pendulum, blinded and motivated through violence, and takes miguel's moment of mercy as weakness, kicking him over that banister.

so this is a very pivotal moment for all of the characters but miguel especially. this shows the moment they've all switched. ANOTHER miscommunication. this is the moment we see just how much karate has changed all of them for the worse.

i personally love dream sequences in cobra kai and this is my second fav (the first being sam's sensory deprivation "who am i" dream)

so his coma is important to the plot, it's kind of a stalemate at first. the miyagi-do kids are in shock over the whole situation and try to help miguel with the fundraiser. but the cobra kai kids are enraged and far more motivated/bloodthirsty than ever before. to them, it was miyagi-do that kicked miguel off the balcony, not everyone's ridiculously intense focus on violence instead of cyberbullying each other in their private stories and group chats like normal teenagers.

so him being in a coma means a pause for everyone else, tory doesn't start fights, robby's on the run and m.i.a., and the only ones who are playing dirty are hawk and sam (and their groupies obvi), just picking on each other enough to be a bother but not for another fight to break out. and both sides tell themselves they're doing it for miguel. WHY? just hate each other, why do you need an unconscious kid to project onto? and it's bc miguel is so integral in all of their lives. none of this karate crap would've happened without miguel. so this is both the writers and the characters tracing everything back to miguel, bc thats their only valid excuse that isn't "we have issues and like to punch things to deal with it." he convinced hawk and demetri to join (which encouraged the others), he won the all-valley (unfairly but i digress) which attracted even more students, the only reason johnny even brought cobra kai back was bc miguel begged him to. and on the other side, daniel restarted miyagi-do to compete with johnny, robby joined miyagi-do to piss off johnny, sam joined miyagi-do yes to spend time with robby but also bc the karate craze originated with miguel ! he, like it or not, is the catalyst for a lot of this stuff.

miguel's dorkiness, his anger, his violence, his kindness, his strength, everything cultivated and jumpstarted the series (with help from johnny and daniel obvi). and yeah, obviously you could trace a lot of things back to things that barely connect. i could say all of this happened bc kreese's gf died. i could say none of this would've happened if mr. miyagi didn't work as a maintenance man. and yes, it could be said that miguel isn't necessarily the main reason for a lot of this, but you have to admit he is a reason, which i think the writers definitely intended.

so miguel, coma. everyone's tense but no one's really FIGHTING, not until miguel wakes up. he wakes up, johnny's self-pity spiral finally flips since he's motivated to help miguel, robby gets arrested, hawk and sam's growing tension becomes direct and physical, and tory rejoins cobra kai. so the second miguel is out, the world stops. but the second he wakes up, everything jumps into action due to that built-up tension. (it's giving that one scene in teen beach movie where they're all standing around and they know they're supposed to get in a brawl but the order of events got messed up and they don't know what to do)

then miguel's journey through the wheelchair is so interesting and i'm going based on memory so genuinely if this is wrong, correct me. but we never really see miguel in the wheelchair interact with anyone besides johnny and maybe carmen/rosa. i think this is just a fault in the writing (side note: i don't see it enough but i love disabled miguel art/fics ! seeing him use mobility aids is so idk interesting for him as a character i would've loved to see him hanging out with demetri or hawk or even sam with the wheelchair or the crutches. i think he only ever talks to tory during that time and we all know how that convo went. idk PLEASE SOMEONE MAKE MORE MOBILITY AID MIGUEL I WOULD LOVE TO SEE MORE OF THAT.)

so anyway, miguel, personal journey to learn how to walk again. this is a very sweet storyline to build up the relationship between him and johnny. it demonstrates miguel's internal frustration not just with what he sees as a setback, but also with johnny's self-pity spiral. i also really like that johnny doesn't really give a shit about safety and doesn't try to put limits on miguel. bro LITERALLY set his foot on fire to get him walking again like ?? 😭 it also shows how much johnny trusts and believes in miguel. not just for miguel's own growth but miguel's belief in johnny's growth. he actually listens to this child who's telling him he's great and shouldn't stand to the side while someone takes what's his and johnny's like "you son of a bitch, i'm in." so miguel's frustration (tension) keeps building and building until he finally walks again (just like the ploooot~~)

for story purposes, i'm not even gonna get into how fast it took miguel to recover or the fact that johnny's training actually WORKED, let's just settle on suspension of disbelief dkjfksj

so the second miguel can walk again and starts trying to reattempt karate, the tension just keeps going going going. robby officially cuts off johnny and joins cobra kai, hawk breaks demetri's arm and brucks's face, sam's ptsd is in FULL swing and getting worse, kyler joins cobra kai, and tory is peak kreese soldier.

ANOTHER brawl starts, they're losing until hawk switches sides, miguel beats kyler, then they go to stop tory. so this is an instance in which the plot affects miguel rather than vice-versa.

eagle fang/miyagi-do combine, personally johnny's issue with miguel getting close with daniel sets forward the eventual break up, which happens with hawk's buzzcut obvi. i'm gonna be very fr, i don't remember much about s4 other than the CONSTANT hawkmetri flirting but i do remember there was a lot of conflict with miguel, internally with relearning karate and externally with sam and johnny (obvi also robby and tory as well). i think s4 was also the season with the "i love you too robby" moment (which was another jaw-dropping moment for my mom and i but we laughed through the shock). that's another reflection of miguel feeling that inner turmoil and suddenly all the other characters are off-balance too (hawk, johnny, sam, etc.). then THAT s4 finale, with miguel running away after he gets injured mid-fight.

PERSONALLY his trip to mexico was so important to me when they introduced it but it's like never mentioned again and it ends so randomly ??? i also think that was fucked up of johnny to disguise that as a bonding moment for robby just for him to find out the real reason they were there. (i giggle every single time i watch that scene bc the way tanner changes his voice inflection is so funny.)

BUT THIS ISN'T ABOUT ROBBY, THIS IS ABOUT MIGUEL. and i understand this was important for miguel to reinforce who he is and his trust in carmen and johnny. however, if they were gonna write this storyline, let alone this SHOCKING of a storyline, it definitely should've had more of an impact on the narrative. miguel goes ALONE to another freaking country, gets scammed, finds his dad and at first feels betrayed by his mom, then finds out who his dad really is and is TERRIFIED of him for a bit, thankfully gets away from him, and just when he's at his most scared and alone, and admits he was wrong to his mom, johnny finds him and reinforces the fact that he's ALWAYS looking out for him. AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER. IDK HOW HE'S NOT MORE TRAUMATIZED OR AT LEAST SHAKEN BY IT. also if this is just me but making miguel's dad awful is yeah, correct, perfect, sure. but idk making him a mob boss...something doesnt feel right. i could be tweaking but it's so ridiculous and takes me out of the moment. i don't personally have any ideas to make it better, again i don't remember s5 very much, but i remember thinking "that's it?" with the mexico storyline. the writers fumbled so hard.

also him and sam breaking up, heartbreaking ! the necklace dropping in the dirt gets me sobbing ! every ! single ! TIME ! though i do love yasmoon and hawkmetri totally fucking it up by meddling, they're so funny. and their break was SO necessary. istg netflix is always shoving trauma-bonded/ptsd-ridden teenagers into relationships with each other instead of a relationship to a THERAPIST. how about you go on a date TO A PSYCHOLOGIST? good on sam for once again being the only emotionally intelligent one in the show !

so yeah. i can't speak for s4/5 (sowwy i don't remember those (╥﹏╥) ) but for s1-3 and s6, it's definitely very miguel-driven.

which is unfortunate at times in a show that has so many cool characters (as i've been demonstrating for the past almost week) but i love miguel, i do love (from a writing standpoint) how he reflects the narrative. when he locks in, the narrative seems a little unstable but when he's BALANCED and locked in, the narrative is SO locked in (which is why i'm trying to be excited for pt 3 bc he's definitely a bit more balanced than he started in pt 2)

i also hope in pt 3 they keep up the trend of him supporting robby. and while i love him and robby, i do wish (like sam and tory) there was a way for them both to win without one of them losing somehow.

also excited to see them both with their baby sister.

ALSO i love that in all the fics i've read, miguel is just an absolute sweetheart to every single person. like the fact that he's such a sweetheart in canon that there's no reason to make him a jerk in fanon is so cute personally (i'm sure in kiaz fics he has like a little jerk stint for the enemies to lovers but ya know)

i love that every fic always makes him straight too. like the ONLY time he's not 100% straight is if he's the main queer pairing (like kiaz, migeli, migmetri)

miguel is an ally in fanon (and canon obvi). unless he's gay. then he's gay. but usually an ally ✨

!! headcanons !!

obsessed with sam. quite literally canon but. if she'll have him, he's sticking with her forever. like he doesn't have eyes for anyone else. (in canon, he literally only goes with other girls to DISTRACT from sam) (samguel endgame truther here) (i'm also a samtory truther) (i contain multitudes)

his best friends are hawk and demetri obvi but right below them is robby. this also works perfectly when he needs to figure out xmas/bday/anniversary gifts for sam bc his bffs are her bffs !

he listens to a lot of hip hop and some indie stuff (he does bond with kenny and hawk over kendrick lamar) (when the drake and kendrick lamar beef happens, despite not talking to each other for a few years, kenny and miguel blow each other's phones up each time kendrick drops a new diss track) (just making my favs kendrick fans bc i can)

after he leaves for college, he promises to text every day and video calls once a week (though it's a struggle for johnny and rosa to figure it out at first until carmen and robby show them how to do it) (johnny insists, and rosa agrees, that phone calls are just as effective as video calls and they're not as complicated) (they both still really appreciate seeing him though)

(personally not a fan of miguel wanting to go to stanford bc for what? it doesn't make sense to me. but i support him ig)

idk if this is already on tory's entry but miguel (just like the arcade scene in s6 pt 1) frequently tries to talk to and hang out with tory in a group setting but she's just really uncomfortable. she gets a little more relaxed but they never really get past the awkwardness and don't get as close as they were before the school fight. it's miguel though, so he always gets her bday gifts and tries to make her feel included. (tory appreciates the effort. it's just hard to forgive the guy who cheated on you emotionally and physically.)

during the s6 e7 ending mega platform challenge (idk the official name) miguel pushes down the anxiety he feels about the height and seeing other people fall from the height and focuses his stress and anger into winning the fight. it isn't until kwon's death that his trauma from the balcony becomes too much to push back.

sam, johnny, robby, and hawk assume he's quiet and reserved bc of the actual death they just witnessed (and honestly they're all too shaken up themselves to put much thought into it). but a few weeks later (right before the events of pt 3) they notice he still seems off and try to get him to open up to varying degrees of success.

it's surprisingly demetri (the professional compartmentalizer himself) that unintentionally gets miguel to open up after he makes an ill-timed joke (trying to joke through his own anxiety over the situation). miguel just starts rambling and working himself up remembering how it felt to fall and how scary it was to be at a similar height where he could potentially fall again then to see someone else's lifeless bloody body ("how can i just move past it? why do i still get freaked out when my foot falls asleep? why can't things be normal like before all this happened?") and demetri just kinda 🧍‍♂️ bc miguel, of all people, freaking out in front of demetri is new territory.

demetri deflects (like usual) and talks about rhodey from the mcu. how he gets shot in mid-air by vision during civil war and falls to the ground. and he survives bc of his suit, becomes paralyzed, and walks again through the leg braces tony stark made for him. ("it's never shown, leave it to marvel to leave out the actually interesting character arcs, but i think vision regretted hurting rhodey like that. vision isn't evil, he and rhodey were both blinded by war. and rhodey has to learn a new normal. he didn't die and he's just as strong as before. worse could've happened but it didn't. and things are different but there's nothing wrong with that. and he always had tony there to pick him back up, to look out for him.")

this pushes miguel to finally talk to the others about his trauma (which they're all kinda traumatized too so he doesn't feel so alone)(demetri absolutely does not know how much it actually affected him and sometimes cringes at the memory, thinking it's yet another moment of inappropriate yapping due to his own discomfort)

also yeah, mentioned above but miguel gets nauseated when his foot falls asleep or when he gets any sharp back pain.

miguel doesn't talk to the younger kids much but the times he does, he and devon like to yap specifically about johnny, he and anthony talk about karate and daniel, and he and kenny talk about music

he tries to keep up with hawk and demetri's nerd stuff but can't keep up nearly as well as robby and sam, he's just there for the vibes

in conclusion: miguel IS cobra kai, i know many people might disagree bc they like the other characters. trust me, i do too ! that's why miguel's not my number one ! but i really do think the writers intend for him to be the whole show, which is why he's so social and has some dynamic with all of the main characters, though they like to abandon some (*cough* daniel and tory *cough*). there truly would be no show without him but i digress. he's so special to me, the latino representation means so much to me, all his wins are my wins, all his losses are my losses. i've basically grown up alongside these characters so i truly feel so close to them. a message to miguel: you've been pushed back, beaten down, you've disappointed yourself, you've disappointed the closest people in your life. but you always come back. no matter what happens. you know how to push through. you are strong. and that wasn't johnny's doing. that wasn't cobra kai or karate. you are naturally persistent and dedicated. you're loyal, you're empathetic, you're confident and you stand up for what you believe in. if there should be any spin-offs or reintroductions of miguel in the future, i can't wait to see where you end up bc i know you'll be doing great in whatever it is. it's been a great seven years watching you grow. i cannot wait to see your finale ending.

s6 part 1 will be out in a week. I wanted to share some thoughts about what we've gotten so far. S6 SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

Trailers, character promos, interviews, etc... they're all marketing. They're usually not gonna give away major or important plot/character spoilers. They can also include misdirects. Regardless, their main purpose is to build hype about the show.

Trailers are out-of-context dialogue and scenes edited together.

Although written from the characters' povs, some of the promos so far had some major mistakes. Jon said the promos aren't canon. In their podcast posted this week, Xolo and Jacob said that the Netflix marketing team wrote these promos. They made it sound like the actors all (at least the younger cast) didn't like/agree with their characters' promo scripts.

Interviews are interesting too. Sometimes they're intriguing, sometimes they're misleading, and sometimes they're just fluff. Regardless, the actors and writers won't purposely give away or talk about spoilers, until after the release. So far, I've been intrigued by some things that Hayden, Jon, Billy, and Xolo have said. Tanner has interestingly been contradicting himself, and sometimes Xolo even looks at him like he doesn't agree with him.

I think I'm most intrigued by Billy's admission in this interview (at 11:30). He has wanted Johnny to evolve and has felt every season he has left something unresolved. It's pretty obvious to those fans who pay attention to the actual canon and details that Johnny, the deadbeat abusive alcoholic father, indeed has something left unresolved: ROBBY. In another interview, Hayden said that Johnny will go through the most growth this season. Obviously, this was expected because they had to wrap up Johnny's story eventually.

Now, this doesn't change my mind about Johnny. I still want to throw him away, lol. To me, he is too far gone. They made decisions for him that I eventually wanted to see Robby walk away from. That could have been a possible storyline too, and a healthy one in situations like this. I used to root for a Johnny-Robby relationship, but I stopped after s5. It's really gotten to the point that the message is "It's okay if you give your kid trauma after trauma after trauma... you can magically grow eventually and they'll forgive you, no matter." That's a bad message to send imo. Seems like most of the stories that tackle generational trauma take this approach. Don't get why they don't show the parent making amends and healing the relationship as the journey. Why not send the message: "Don't let things get so bad in the first place. Work on yourself, and help your kids recover from the trauma that your behavior has already caused." That can also still make for good comedy and/or drama. Billy and Tanner would have elevated such a story too.

Does this mean that I think Johnny can't be redeemed? The perspectives on redemption are subjective. For me, Johnny's a lost cause character. But from a storytelling standpoint, I'm curious what is to come. Johnny already foreshadowed in s5e10 that he'll lose everything. That's usually what happens in stories. That big loss late in the story that shakes up the character's world and gets them to stop believing in their "lie" and accept their "truth". In Johnny's case, he's been running from the past, using other kids as second chances, and not making amends with Robby. In this interview (and in another), Billy commented that things fall out from under Johnny. Good! Karma's a bitch! I hope this bitch doesn't leave Johnny alone next season.

I still believe, and will always believe, that the baby plotline wasn't written to last for Johnny and Robby. Neither were Johnny's relationships with the Diazs. The story just isnt organically built out that way. Johnny and Robby seem meant to end the series as just father and son and being friends with the LaRussos, but no Diazs. (Given the baby plot is continuing, it's very possible the baby isn't Johnny's. He was impotent or turning down sex for most of the season that Carmen got pregnant. This would be an organic way to handle a lot of the setups so far. Carmen is also absolutely a flawed character, like all the other characters. Fan choose to deny it, though.) This is of course based off of the notion that the characterizations will be explored and have proper considerations as the story resolves, as would be the case in storytelling. There are too many layers coming together in a way that indicates this. Josh said in an s6 interview, "all the tie ups should be satisfying, from a storytelling perspective, whether they're happy, sad or murky."

Anyway, I'm also curious how they'll handle Robby getting back into school. Robby seems to cut his hair at one point in part 1. He has the shorter haircut in that one shot of him in school. Robby's hair seems to have a journey as part of Robby's character journey. Maybe he cuts his hair after he gets back into school, as an indication of a new beginning. Based on the Hero's Journey, s6 part 1 should be The Road Back to the ordinary world. Him being back in school can fit this stage, as his future/educational prospects are being restored. Though, I hope he gets some better resolutions for how the school fight was handled. My main wishes for Robby returning back to school are that Robby is validated for what he has experienced and that these adults who claim to "care" about him finally step up and stop failing/scapegoating him for that fight. After all, this is the last Act of the story.

I liked the Barnes clip. The focus on Robby's reactions was interesting. Hopefully, Mike can be a mentor to Robby and focus some 1:1 time on him. Oh, and a random thought I had yesterday after Sean Kanan posted the bts pic of him and Tanner. If Mike's wife really has left him, is it wrong to ship Mike Barnes and Shannon? lol One main issue is the implied drug use by Barnes in the s5 finale. But if this issue didn't exist, I like this ship. And, Mike would probably/hopefully be a good stepdad to Robby. Anyway, it's just a fun thought. Regardless, I hope Mike becomes a good mentor to Robby. I of course hope Johnny, Robby, and Shannon finally have at least one scene together and that Shannon has more scenes in general in s6. Wouldn't mind a scene of her and Mike interacting, so I can see if they have chemistry. lol

Anyway, just a waiting game till the 18th. Wonder what news and leaks come out between now and then. The s5 leaks were so bad... both because they were major spoilers and because... that plot and how things went for Robby.

At least, there will be new Robby content and more story to pick apart. I hope s6 part 1 will be better for Robby than s5. That he starts to be validated, his experiences start to be explored, and the adults stop failing him.

With solar power, urban farms, and radical grassroots democracy, eKhenana provides an impressive model for a sustainable low-carbon future community

At eKhenana, there are 109 families on two hectares of land, one of which is dedicated to farming. Each family has a small plot on which a shack is built with recycled materials, with emphasis on open spaces, walkways and even parking spaces. Credit: Nomfundo Xolo.

In recent years, the question of what this sustainable low-emissions future could look like has animated both climate scientists and creatives. They have imagined a myriad of possibilities, some more fantastical than others.

For the residents of eKhenana commune, however, the future is already here. In this settlement in Durban, South Africa, low-consumption lifestyles, shared living in urban villages, and self-sufficient small-scale agriculture are not utopian visions but daily reality.

Former chairperson of eKhenana commune, Lindokuhle Mnguni, was dedicated to creating a “land of milk and honey” and a socialist way of life where everyone is given an equal opportunity. He, and his partner Sindisiwe Ngcobo, were attacked on 20 August 2022 in the early hours by unknown gunmen. Mnguni was killed instantly from multiple wounds to the head. Credit: Nomfundo Xolo.

eKhenana was first established in 2018 when a group of people decided to occupy some neglected municipal land in Durban. They began by building their homes, shacks, before adding schools, shops, and community spaces. The commune are members of Abahlali baseMjondolo (AbM), the South African social movement of the poor that fights for land, housing, and human dignity.

Today, eKhenana is made of up 109 families and the community is a model of democratic, ground-up, climate-friendly self-sufficiency. As South Africa faces rolling blackouts, the commune enjoys reliable solar power that it uses to boil water, charge phones, and keep the lights on. Through its food sovereignty garden and cooperative farming projects, it feeds itself with nutritious and cheap locally grown produce.

The watchword in building locally self-sustaining communes is sovereignty. Communities, they agree, need to be able to take control of their food and ownership of their needs without relying on the government.

To say eKhenana has managed to thrive in the absence of the state wouldn’t be quite right. The commune’s self-sufficiency has, in fact, been hard-won against a backdrop of state-sanctioned violence. Like most land occupations in South Africa, the community in eKhenana have had to repeatedly rebuild their homes after countless eviction attempts. These often-violent operations, enforced by the government and private militias, have led to the deaths of at least eight residents.

This harassment has continued even since the community at eKhenana won the right to legally occupy the land in 2019. The government and police, says AbM’s General Secretary Thapelo Mohapi, “treat Abahlali like a criminal organisation”.

The politics conducted within eKhenana couldn’t look more different to the formal state’s elite and exclusionary approach. In the commune, all decisions are reached by consensus at community meetings through radical democratic participation. Residents regularly gather at Thuli Ndlovu Hall – named after one of their assassinated comrades – where everyone is given a chance to discuss all communal decisions, from where spinach is planted to how resources like the community-owned sewing machine are shared. This agency is coupled with responsibility; all members are expected to be active in, and aware of, eKhenana’s various projects and challenges.

“Our discussion must have one answer, reached communally,” explains Mazwi. “No one can tell us what to do, not even our [former] chairperson, comrade Mnguni, may he rest in peace, because we make our decisions for ourselves.”

Like all AbM branches, eKhenana practices Ubuhlalism, their interpretation of the philosophy of Ubuntu. In stark contrast to neoliberal individualism, a driving force behind the climate crisis, this way of thinking advocates for a communal worldview that prioritises wellbeing over profit.

“Ubuhlalism teaches us how to share with other people, how to treat each other, how to build yourself,” says Mazwi. “Ubuhlalism is something you can’t touch, you can’t see, but something that you practice. It’s something inside you.”

Metamorphosis of a Hero: Jaime Reyes' Blue Beetle Saga in the DC Universe

Blue Beetle is a very cool character within comics lore. There have been several iterations of the character throughout the years in the comics. This film explores Jaime Reyes as the titular hero.

The first 40 minutes of this movie are superb. Some of the best comic book inspired origin stuff that has ever been adapted to the screen. We get to see the closeness of the Reyes family and their struggle to keep their home. We are introduced to Kord Industries and the Scarab which leads directly into the plot of the movie.

The second and third acts are not as thrilling for a multitude of different reasons. The villains are entirely one dimensional, and there are conveniently placed character developments that come across as cringey. Xolo Mariduena is the best part of the movie. He does play Jaime well as a relatable young man just trying to do right by his family. The rest of the plot feels forced, though. Including his love story with Jenny Kord.

The suit is definitely on point, which helps the hardcore comic book fan in me enjoy this movie. However, the idea that it took Jaime the entire movie to realize his love for his family is what gives him strength seemed a little bit ridiculous. It didn't come across as motivational like they had hoped but more preachy. It felt like had he not found the Scarab, he never would have learned that lesson. For a Pre-Law graduate, they never presented Jaime as an overally intelligent character with solid intellect.

While this movie does have more positives than negatives, it does suffer from the same thing a lot of DC movies do. It is way too simplistic in nature when it could have tried to do something different. I called the mid credits scene as soon as they found the Kord mansion. There was too much setup for it not to occur. The only question now is, will it go anywhere?

While I do hope to see this iteration of Jaime again, I do hope it is in a team fashion. There does not seem like a lot of solo avenues they can explore. Jaime has a lot of affiliations with other younger characters in the comics, and that could very well be utilized if we are to see him again. The future is wide open for all DC characters, so we can't quite pinpoint where Blue Beetle will show up next. I do hope all of this was for something as this would be a complete waste of a movie if it didn't go anywhere.
