I was gifted a Cobra Kai fic with Johnny and Daniel breaking up and making up!! I adore the snappy dialogue, and Johnny being an unreliable narrator - plus all of the supporting character appearances are so nuanced and fun, too.

Summary:

The thing is, Johnny never thought it would last the week.

Just finished the Hawkeye series. ( Some negativity about the show )

This reminded me that last snowflake I wanted to make a Cobra Kai themed rec list! It seems like there is a disproportionately high number of great vids in this fandom - and maybe that's because they were posted on AO3, which makes it way easier for me to search for and find them. It's almost impossible to search on Youtube these days.

The snowflake challenge was fun this year. I'm not done reading through all the comments but I wanted to post about the new places I discovered so I don't lose them:

911_911lonestar Yay a comm to discuss episodes and find fanworks.

cobrakaikink and

cobra_kai_snake_pit for all my CK kink and fanwork needs.

This Karate Kid/Cobra Kai fandom primer with reccs is so good :D

ficreadersadvisory seems like it's going to be a fun place for discussion.

Also I can't remember where I found this comm but

birdfeeding has been fun so far.

We finished Hacks season 1 on HBO Max. This show takes the trope of shitty female leads and gives them room to grow and care about each other. It's also very funny. The most interesting part for me is how Deborah chooses to use her money. I think this show is a little more nuanced and/or realistic look at new wealth. I really liked Deborah by the end. I'm excited there will be a season 2!

I've been watching season 1 of The Great. I love the whole attitude and aesthetic/costumes!! Plus, so many f/f ship possibilities. There are definitely some content warnings, like bad dubcon sex - but the show manages to be fun and hopeful too, instead of dark and gloomy. I think I have enough dark/gloomy shows :P Catherine definitely gets to hold her own, and I'm excited for her new coalition.

Finished s4 of Cobra Kai. ( Spoilers under here )

4x05 is my favorite episode so far (I thought the new season was a little slow to start).

I participated in the

fffc Fandom Battle to celebrate the comm's 10 year anniversary, and I was proud of my productivity! The weekly posting schedule kept me motivated. I finished with 489 points, which put me in seventh place.

Here's my tag.

I got into two new fandoms because of the battle. When it started, The Umbrella Academy was the only fandom I recognized so I binged the rest of s1 and 2. I wrote my first Umbrella Academy fic about Leonard even though he's definitely not my favorite character. I also got into Cobra Kai, even though I'm not quite caught up. WOW the tropes! The action! The heartwarming moments! The comedy! Amazing.

I also got around to watching Pacific Rim: Uprising, which was a fun ride. I liked it better than I expected, but the first is still such a classic.

I learned how to use pixl and made icons and headers and fanmix covers. I haven't made fanart in years so that was a fun experiment. I also made fanmixes for Teen Wolf, Julie and the Phantoms, and Pacific Rim.

I finished two Band of Brothers fics: a webgott piece and a crack Stephen Ambrose piece. I also started a Batman/Superman fic that seemed so ridiculously tropey that I abandoned it. I wrote meta for Teen Wolf and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier.

As for my Julie and the Phantoms fic, hopefully I will finish/edit it sometime soon and actually post on AO3.
