To Snaters

Miyagi-Do Theory

I theorise that a lot of Mr Miyagi's teachings revolve around his own experiences, or are fuelled by them. I think that the tradition of passing it from father to son had to do with a father wanting to protect his son from the horrors of the world. I believe each son (and daughter?) experienced some kind of hardship, and learned from it. Yes, their father probably preached to them, but they didn't understand what was being preached until they went through it themselves.

The Miyagi-Do way is tied to living and learning. It's why the training process is doing basic everyday chores as a routine, instead of outright practising moves from the first jump. It is why peace and balance is so important to them.

I think rebellion plays a role in this as well. In the 3rd film, Daniel is being harassed and assaulted by Mike Barnes, so he wants to be retrained. Mr Miyagi is against it, so Daniel rebels against him and trains with Silver. Mr Miyagi forgives Daniel and then agrees to retrain him.

Mr Miyagi was against the tournament, but gave in once he saw for himself how severe Daniel's situation was. I'm pretty sure he had his suspicions, and went to the dojo to investigate for himself.

I think what happened here is that Mr Miyagi could see where this was going. Following the Sekai Taikai storyline, he probably met plenty of competitors like Mike Barnes in his time. I believe that's why he was against using karate for tournaments. There's no point wasting your life away competing in a sport that you will always look over your shoulder for. Once you lose after getting so close to the top, you will begin to lose yourself. That almost happened with Mike.

If we're really going to be real about it, we should address that he killed his opponent. Going back to the fight with Sam and Tory for the captain spot, Daniel rightfully stops the fight whereas Johnny says it should've continued because it was what Tory 'needed'. Anyone with a brain should know that what Johnny said wasn't correct.

Grief does not belong in competition. Mr Miyagi lost his wife and son during his enlistment. He left Okinawa, was fighting for his life in a war, and lost his wife and child. What does he do? Goes to the deep end. After becoming a thief, he might as well get into fights, right? Joined the Sekai Taikai, and look how that ended? All that frustration and anger he had at the world ended with someone's death.

I headcanon that this event was a turning point to him turning back to his ancestral teachings.

The other side of Miyagi-do is rooted in rebellion.

Rebellion can come in all kinds of ways. It can be extreme, or even the small stuff. Mr Miyagi told Daniel that one day he would make his own karate. This gives the idea that each Miyagi son made it adaptable to fit themselves. Yes, they all have the same lesson, but how they use it will be different.

One example that I will bring up is that the Capoeira we have now is different to one that was created centuries ago. It is a martial art from Congo that the Brazilian slaves had to disguise as dancing. Break dancing was inspired by Capoeira. Like a language, it changes over time.

Mr Miyagi trained Daniel and Julie Pierce even though neither of them were his children (biologically). Thing is, Miyagi-do wasn't supposed to be taught to anyone outside the family, maybe not even to women (considering how sexist things were back then). Mr Miyagi requested his father make an exception for Sato. Sato went on to teach it to Chozen.

Thus, the balance of Miyagi-do. Peace and rebellion. Going against conformity, tradition, and living a life of learning. Yeah, that's all I got for this essay.

Self inserting myself into Cyrax rn

I want him to talk down on me too.

I want him to look at me menacingly too.

I wanna be on thin ice too. I want him to get close to my face too.

He was defo jealous about Kuai here.

Bellatrix, Andromeda, Narcissa headcanons

Bellatrix has always been a little not alright, but never anything too severe. Most would say she was a bully, but so was Sirius based on whatever stories she heard about him in passing.

Bellatrix didn't get along well with Sirius, but she hoped he would clean himself up soon. He would deny it, but they were very much alike. He could be rehabilitated.

However, that started to change once Andromeda was burnt off. All for that muggle. Bellatrix hoped it was worth it, for Andros' sake. Sirius was burnt off in a blink, and Bella could do nothing but focus on herself.

Then Regulus died. This time it was different. Regulus was her dearest, and most precious baby cousin. Gone just like that.

If Bellatrix didn't get to have her loved ones, then neither did mudbloods. That included anyone that supported them.

Andromeda couldn't stand crazies. If she stayed in this family any longer she would become it.

The constant comparisons. The high expectations. The fake smiles, and high alertness.

She hated it. She could never trust anyone, knowing they were after something. If one couldn't go to Bella, they'd go to Andro. She was the backup plan, and always the backup. 2nd in command. Should anything happen to Bellatrix, Andromeda knew what to do.

Backhanded compliments. Gossiping behind her back. The hateful obsession with muggles. Mudbloods have never done anything to her, so there was no need to hunt them.

Ted wasn't just any old Hufflepuff. If that had truly been the case, she would've married a bloody Macmillan. Ted's kindness was influenced by his survival mode.

His kindness was always genuine, but his eyes were watchful, patient of any slight of hand. A peaceful life would be nice. So nice. She really could just disappear.

Narcissa absolutely had to be seen. She wanted to shine bright too. Unfortunately, she was her mother's daughter. Birthed for her mother to dote on, while Bellatrix and Andromeda were raised to be the perfect heiress'. Narcissa couldn't be the same, but she would show everyone that she was perfect. She would prove it. And prove it she did. She chose her husband wisely, and she played her cards correctly.

Narcissa Black is a clueless blonde? So be it. She would teach others to never underestimate her. Whether it was the personality she presented, or what was on her mind, it shall never be questioned again.

Although it was cruel, she took pride in it. While she missed her sisters dearly, it was great knowing she was the one who survived. Narcissa knew it was stupid to get the mark, and she knew the toxicity given to her was a sign of jealousy. She completed what both of them couldn't do. She handled what both of them couldn't handle.

Any influence she spread was through her husband. Her dearest lover and tool.

This time when family or anyone of importance saw her, there was hope. Admiration. She was seen and not heard, just the way that she liked it.

Mileena Zoldyck

[Warning: This is a long post]

I just want to rant about this story I came up with when I was 15-16 where instead of being killed by D'Vorah, Mileena is banished to a different realm, which is the Hunter realm (HxH). She joins Gon and Killua on their adventure, and becomes fiance to Illumi all the while trying to make Meteor City become a kingdom by trying to gain rulership of it. I'm actually half lying because I don't want to acknowledge the weirdness of the original plot. I also wrote this before the whole "Sindel was evil this whole time" thing, so she's still under Quan Chi's spell somehow because I actually like good Sindel. Also came up with it before Mileena was added to the game so I pictured the mkx version when coming up with ideas.

The whole making a kingdom out of Meteor city thing is because I figured Mileena would be drawn to it, she won't give up being queen that easily and if she's stuck in this realm she might as well make due with what she can. The whole concept of Meteor City is that it's a place that is not only not recognised in the map, but it is a country that is a junkyard filled with, outcasts and inhabitants that have no record of existing. Any trash could be abandoned there including people (children). Only few people know of Meteor City's existence which has played an advantage for the mafia to hire the inhabitants as assassins and hitmen. The inhabitants also have a strong bond with each other. If I did not explain well then please check the wiki page for better information. Mileena herself is an outcast and was an assassin, and growing up in Outworld, a place that isn't very friendly, Meteor City would probably be like a walk in the park.

"We'll accept anything you leave here, but don't ever take anything away from us." - Meteor City's motto.

The goal isn't to take anything away from Meteor City, but to reform it. Change it, using the bond that the inhabitants have for each other and the large population against them. According to the wiki it is ruled by an assembly of elders so I'm not sure how easy it would be for her to take over. I'm not sure if she will rule fairly either, considering she is spoken poorly of when her being a Kahn is brought up. She wasn't massacring tribes like Kotal, so I'm not sure.

When I came up with this idea it was right when mk11 came out. It was another one of those things where I come up with loads of ideas but end up not writing anything. I was super annoyed that Mileena wasn't in the game and read a Naruto x Mortal Kombat fanfic where Mileena is the mother of Hinata, and figured "why don't I make my own version but with HxH". To be honest, mk11 Mileena just feels like a continuation of mk9's Mileena, not mkx. Mkx seemed more mature and adapted out of being a server and to a position of leadership (to some extent).

Nen type: Specialist

Nen abilities

Shadows - The ability to make clones of herself (This ability has set backs as the clones are more of an illusion and cannot make physical contact with objects. If they appear to a non nen user then they appear blurred)

Midnight Pretenders - The ability to make her face look more human and less Tarkatan (ability lasts for no more that 2 hours and cannot be used at the same time as another ability)

Queen - Armour that enhances her abilities and protects her from attacks, and even gives her a pair of sais (armour looks more Edenian than Outworld) The outfit was made by playing a dress up game.

Shang Tsung: I prefer more bearable appearances.

Zeno: Then you haven't embraced dying.

Dairou has Potential

I'm talking about the one from the Midway era, not Havik.

I don't understand the Dairou hate. I understand that he is a forgettable character, but once I heard his backstory I didn't think he was so forgettable. His backstory is similar to Scorpion, but for Dairou I think there's no complicated magic involved, which makes him seem boring in comparison.

I think Dairou has some potential. I mean, he used to believe in the Seidan beliefs until he was wronged, punished for killing the man that killed his family. Leaves prison a changed man, becomes an assassin before joining the resistance, unknowingly working for the guy that ordered the hit on his family.

Scorpion's only objective is avenging his family and clan, but Dairou's is about being against the authority that wronged him. Being against Hotaru's extremist views, and becoming a puppet of Darrius.

I think most of the hate comes from the fact that none of the 3D era characters are given enough attention, thus are not given enough to work with. NRS' idea of 'continuing' the story is having Dairou become the new Havik, and have his motives be driven by anarchy.

Daniel was never the 'Real' villain

I posted this on a YouTube comment section, but here.

Bro, Ali did not want to talk to Johnny, and Johnny was pushing it. He was being hella aggressive about it, Daniel was just returning his energy. The worst Daniel did was spray some water on Johnny, AFTER Johnny and the other Cobra kids shoved Daniel down a hill on his scooter, just because Daniel wanted to learn self defence after he realised he's attending school with the same people who humiliated him and beat him up. Guess what, they humiliated him again at the football tryouts thing, and Daniel wasn't even doing anything to them. As the movie goes on it becomes less about Ali, and more about Daniel, because it's clear the Cobra's enjoy bothering Daniel. I know Daniel isn't perfect, sometimes antagonising them, but only verbal and nothing too excessive, like pushing them down a hill in the middle of the night.I personally think Cobra Kai is an out of character take on the Karate Kid series. They made Johnny an idiot, even though we know from the first Karate Kid film that he's pretty intelligent. Miyagi was also a father figure to Daniel, but they over did it in Cobra Kai. Kreese and Terry Silver are the real villains, two grown adults who couldn't get over a Karate tournament.

They legit gave Daniel trust issues with the Terry thing. Also, didn't Terry break into the Miyagi house?

the comment section

Baby Zuko: My parents had a baby! Mama kissed Daddy and the fairies told the stork! And the stork left a diamond under the fire lily petals! And the diamond turned into a baby!

Baby Sokka: My parents had a baby too. They had sex.

I can't wait for more HxH content, we out here taking bits and pieces of crumbs. Why was Hisoka so funny in the 90s version?

This silly mf just like me fr💀

I be alone giggling to myself too, especially to stupid shit
