Antimony, what's your favorite teen Lawrusso moment/picture and your favorite old lawrusso moment/picture? Can be both on and off screen whatever you prefer. I just wanna know what moment between them makes your heart jump out of your chest due to the LOVE.

Also, who is your fave karate kid/ cobra kai charachter (you can chose anyone).

Hohohohohoo, I'd certainly say my favourite KK era Lawrusso moment is basically this post of mine, when Johnny's eyes lock onto Daniel as he's lifted:

It's so easy to miss, what with it only being a second that's overshadowed among the celebration around Daniel. But the pure earnestness in Johnny's teary gaze as it follows upwards makes him look vulnerable in a way that hasn't been seen previously in the movie. There's nothing hiding his eyes, what I described as reverent on my post, when it trails Daniel like a dog or a worshipper, or s poor boy with so big a crush that he can't do anything to stop. It's pure naked yearning in one split second, and I EAT IT UPPPPPP!!!!

As far as CK era Lawrusso, there's almost nothing that tops the first moment Daniel and Johnny reunite for the first time in the car dealership ahfkskjfjjf. It's so awkward and with an undercurrent of tension (from both men, because they're idiots), and it's due part to what's been said — but also what is kept quiet. Daniel looks so light and happy to see Johnny, which you could reason it's in part to schadenfreude, but I'd like to believe there's a level of genuineness too; him saying to Johnny that he blames Cobra Kai more than he does the man for their bad history, paying for the car, etc. And I can't NOT mention the "golden locks" comment HELLOOOOOOO. Johnny himself is obviously the more apprehensive and gruff of the two, but even in spite of his evasiveness and resentment, there's still this air of wanting that exists in spite of, or because, of years burrowing it:

Stop staring at the man or else I'm going to think of uncharitable thoughts, Lawrence.

And of course, the fucking finger brushing:

Jane Austen, are you seeing this shit

And as for my favorite character: Mr. Miyagi 😌. Daniel comes to a close second though hehehe

Why is Daniel Larusso so fruityy??? 💅like???

I had posted a quote from the book A View from the Bottom: Asian American Masculinity and Sexual Representation by Nguyen Tan Hoang that interviewed Eric Cho, a filmmaker who made a queer short film based on The Karate Kid called We've Got Moves You Haven't Even Heard Of (Part One), who said, "In the original narrative of The Karate Kid, [Daniel] finds his identity and overcomes his enemies, not by taking up gun in typical 8os Rambo/Chuck Norris style, but by disguising his training, becoming more invisible and turning into a beautiful crane over water, therefore connecting to femininity and feminine wisdom.” Hoang summarizes this point on the queer/queerer reading of Daniel LaRusso, stating, "It is under the tutelage of Mr. Miyagi (Noriyuki “Pat” Morita) that Daniel develops a novel masculine-feminine technique of the self that enables his ultimate triumph over his opponents."

While I don't agree to categorize traditional Okinawan karate itself as "feminine", Cobra Kai, its sensei, and students are certainly promoting a heavily (American) masculine presence and doctrine. So in opposition, Daniel is thematically transcending from American values of militarized, societal expectations of masculinity by training, not by the standards and methods his adversaries are practicing, but his own that merges the physical growth of training with beauty, sensitivity, and disguise — a masculine-feminine technique. While Daniel LaRusso may not be queer according to the text, I argue he's often picked up by such (whether derisively or appreciatively) is because of his thematic transcendence of societal ideals of masculinity.
