Island Breeze And Lights Down Low

Pairing: Oscar Piastri x Reader

Warnings: none unless you count Oscar being an adorable boyfriend

Words: 1.5k

Summary: Spending the break with your boyfriend and his friends is great but you're craving some alone time with him. Luckily he knows you well enough to understand that without you telling him.

When Oscar had asked you to spend the summer break with him in Mallorca, you had immediately agreed. You had always wanted to go but never got the chance to and it seemed like the kind of place you wanted to visit with someone so Oscar's offer was perfect.

The first few days on the island had been pretty busy between visiting the cities, spending some time on a yacht with other drivers that were on the island and partying in clubs until the early hours of the morning.

It was a nice way to spend the break but you had hoped for some alone time with your boyfriend. You had thought about asking him but he seemed to be having so much fun. You didn't want to look like you were complaining so you just kept it to yourself, tagging along wherever the rest of the group wanted to go.

On your 6th day on the island, you woke up to Oscar caressing your cheek as he called your name softly. You opened your eyes and saw him crouching next to your side of the bed with a big smile on his face.

" Morning sunshine" Oscar smiled placing a kiss on your cheek

" Good morning baby, did I oversleep ?"

" Nope, I thought we could spend the day together, just the two of us for once because I did invite you here in the hopes that you'd fall even more in love with me." Oscar said, wiggling his eyebrows at you with a cheeky smile that showed his dimples

" Oh well, let's see what you have planned then." you smiled back at him

Following your boyfriend's suggestion, you went for a shower and put on a swimsuit under your summer dress. When you came back to the bedroom, you found the balcony door open.

In the time you spent in the bathroom, Oscar had ordered breakfast for you both and installed it on the balcony so you could enjoy your meal with a view.

Your boyfriend stood up as soon as he heard you coming, hugging you tightly and kissing you properly as you smiled through the kiss.

The breakfast was amazing, Oscar had ordered all of your favourite things and spent the whole meal making jokes. You had barely been awake for 2h and you could already tell that today would be your favourite day of the trip.

The rest of the morning and half of your afternoon was spent walking around to wherever you felt like stopping in a beautiful restaurant for lunch.

As nice as exploring with your boyfriend was, your legs were starting to feel a bit tired and the heat was finally getting to you. Before you could even ask Oscar if he planned on going back to your hotel soon, you were headed exactly where you wanted.

Instead of heading towards your room like you had expected to, Oscar guided you towards the pool area of the hotel. The Australian headed straight towards the sunbeds, sitting down on one and patting the other for you to seat in.

Wanting to cool down a little, you went into the pool for a quick dip quickly followed by Oscar. At first you were just staying close to the other but soon enough, the distance seemed too big.

Oscar swam towards you, seemingly thinking the same thing. He wrapped his arms around your waist, smiling as you wrapped your own around his neck. The two of you stayed there, enjoying the freshness of the water and the warmth of the sun against your skin.

You grew tired of the water and hopped out of the pool to go tan a little bit. You had asked Oscar if he wanted to come with you but the Australian had decided to stay in to swim a few laps.

You had noticed when Oscar came back on his sunbed because he kept tossing and turning, not finding a good enough position to stay in.

Feeling how he was starting to grow restless, you extended your hand towards him in the space between your two sunbeds. When Oscar finally noticed, you hooked your pinkies together and used your thumb to rub circles on the back of his hand. Oscar seemingly relaxed, settling in a position for a while.

You thought Oscar was going to stay like that for a while and almost dozed off but as you felt yourself starting to get drowsy, Oscar spoke

" y/n ?" you hummed, keeping your eyes closed. " I can't get comfortable, can we share a sunbed ?"

" Baby, it's really hot, are you sure you want to be this close now ?"

" Well yeah, you look a lot more comfortable than my side does" Oscar chuckled

" Okay then come here but if we get all sweaty and sticky you better not complain, Oscar" you grumbled, not able to hide your smile

" Thank you sunshine." your boyfriend smiled, making his way towards you

You tried to scoot away to give him half of the sunbed but he stopped you, making you open your arms instead. You watched, an amused smile on your face, as Oscar laid his head on your chest, intertwining your legs together so he was as close to you as possible.

Once he stopped moving, you tried to put your hands on his back but he grabbed your wrists and guided them towards his hair. You tried not to squirm as he laughed against your skin, tickling you with his lips.

Oscar loved when you played with his hair almost as much as you loved doing it so you complied happily. After a few minutes of having your hands buried in his soft hair, you felt his breath get even as he drifted to sleep.

You were starting to get a bit hot but Oscar looked so comfortable you didn't dare to move. He had planned this whole day for you so you didn't mind doing this for him. Especially when it involved cuddling with your boyfriend.

When you opened your eyes again, Oscar was looking at you with sleepy eyes and a small smile, watching you carefully. When he realised you had woken up, he slowly peeled himself off you, putting his weight on his elbows on each side of your body.

Giving you that sheepish grin you loved so much he kissed your cheek before standing up quickly, extending his hand so you could also stand up. You didn't think much of it until he slipped his arms under your legs and grinned at you like a boy about to do something he knew he shouldn't.

Before you could wrestle out of his arms, Oscar was heading towards the pool and jumping in the water with you in his arms. Now wide awake, you clung onto his shoulders for dear life, holding your eyes shut as Oscar laughed so hard he struggled to breathe.

" I hate you so much Oscar I swear, we were having a moment and you ruined it."

" I know you don't sunshine." he affirmed pressing a kiss on your head as he hooked your legs around his waist forcing you to face him " you love me too much to stay mad"

" You might be right but that doesn't mean I'll forget this. I'll get my revenge Piastri, trust me" you muttered with a devilish smirk

" Wow, last name, huh ? Can't wait for that revenge then."

" Stop smiling like that"

" Like what ? I'm smiling normally."

" Like you did something you're proud of, stop that you look cute and I'm supposed to stay mad." you tried to stay serious as Oscar's smile widened

" You’re cute when you try to be mad, sunshine. Now what do you say we go back to the room, order some food and watch whatever movie you want while cuddling as an apology."

" I'd say you're on the right track so hurry up and get me out of this pool." you said tightening your grip around his waist and his neck

" Your wish is my command, let's get some food for you."

" Now we're talking, hurry up then."

" Yeah yeah, I love you too sunshine." he laughed as you nestled your head in the crook of his neck

As you laid in the bed after a copious meal of your favourite things, you couldn't help but place a few kisses wherever you could reach on Oscar's face. Your boyfriend chuckled before capturing your lips in a soft and long kiss, both of you melting into it.

"Thank you for today, Oscar. It was perfect."

" I'm glad you liked it, I had a lot of fun too."

" I love you."

" I love you too. Now go to sleep if you want to go back to the pool before we have to meet the others tomorrow."

" Promise we'll cuddle on the sunbed like we did today ?" you mumbled as tiredness slowly got to you

" Whatever you want, sunshine." Oscar smiled, tightening his grip around your waist, pulling you closer

" You're my favourite person Oscar" you mumbled with your face pressed against his chest

" The feeling's mutual y/n" he smiled as he let himself fall asleep against you

The Greatest Sailing Movie (N)Ever Made

Discussions of sailing movies online tend to circle around the same dozen names or so. How many errors did you spot in All is Lost? Was Master and Commander just too jargon-heavy to be a hit? Wind— love it or hate it? And just how bad is Waterworld?

But a recent discovery in the archives of Universal Studios revealed how close we almost came to having another name— or two?— in Hollywood’s somewhat dubious pantheon of the sport. While sorting old personnel files for digitization, archivist Tasha Durak discovered extensive material in the files of now-retired Universal screenwriter Avril Debile related to a project called Sunny Sets Sail. The documents suggest that Debile first got the idea for the story when visiting San Diego in 1991, during preparations for the following year’s America’s Cup competition.

Sunny Sets Sail (some documents use the title Sunny: America’s Pup) was to be a children’s sports comedy in a style common in the 1990s, combining cameos from real pro athletes with the hilarious antics of a fictional group of children— and, naturally, their adorable dog.

The story centered around Hannah, a young Navy brat recently moved to then-contemporary San Diego after spending most of her life overseas. Trying to help her feel more at home, Hannah’s parents give her a Newfoundland puppy named Sunny for her birthday and enroll her in lessons at a local sailing club. When Sunny tags along with Hannah to her first lesson, the instructor reluctantly allows the dog to accompany Hannah and her friends Jenny and Robby, noting the Newfoundland breed’s famous swimming abilities.

As the weeks pass by, Hannah, Jenny, and Robby discover Sunny is a natural crewmate, following commands to shift weight and pull on lines with her mouth. As there is nothing in the sailing club’s rules to prevent canine crew, the three compete in a junior racing series with Sunny onboard, and end up winning.

The prize is presented by Robby’s parents, Frank and June Arnold (apparently based on Peter and JJ Isler), who are both sailors for an American syndicate preparing to defend the America’s Cup. Sunny and the kids are invited to come watch the racing. They meet both the American team and the challengers, the usual sports movie band of villainous rivals, this time wearing an Australian coat of paint. (One draft which badly attempted to write out their dialogue phonetically was rejected by an editor for its potential to cause an international incident, as it sounded closer to a hideous mix of Cockney and Bostonian accents.)

The worst of them, of course, is challenging skipper Charlie “Crusher” Mackenzie, a bleach-blond meathead in sunglasses, introduced stepping on Sunny’s tail during a visit to the American compound and barking “Bloody mutt, I outta throw you overboard to the shahhks!” when she whines.

(Although few concrete references to the history of the America’s Cup are made during the script, Robby’s comment “The Australians. They won once before and they want it back.” seems to indicate a recent history vaguely like the real world’s.)

After Sunny jumps onboard the American IACC boat during a practice session and proves to be as adept at following commands as big boat crew as she did on the kids’ dinghy, Hannah and Robby suggest she become part of the American crew. At first, the skipper says no, but after losing the first two races of the match to the Australians, he relents.

Sunny, in a dog-sized windbreaker and ballcap with earholes, assists the Americans in the Cup match, and performs a traditional Newfoundland rescue when Mr. Arnold falls overboard during a maneuver. (In the first draft, she improbably swims fast enough to bring him back to the racing boat itself, in later drafts she more realistically drags him to a chase boat.)

As we might all hope, there indeed is a protest room scene where a white-haired old yachtsman adjusts his reading glasses, clears his throat, and declares “Nowhere in the America’s Cup Deed of Gift does it state that a dog cannot be part of a racing crew!”, followed, according to stage directions, by “swelling, triumphant music”.

Champagne being not-quite G-rated, the final victory scene features the spraying and guzzling of orange soda, and Sunny being showered with kibble poured out of the America’s Cup.

Avril Debile visited the 1992 and 1995 America’s Cups while researching the script, making connections with most American teams involved. The file contained a transcript of a research interview with the Islers and an educational brochure from the PACT 95 syndicate. Both Dawn Riley and Dennis Conner expressed interest in playing themselves in the film, although Conner wrote to Debile to request more lines.

While the commercial failure of Wind initially caused Universal to doubt the project, eventually Sunny Sets Sail was set for a tentative Summer 1996 release, a year after the America’s Cup, to help keep enthusiasm high for the next edition in San Diego. However, with Team New Zealand’s victory in the 1995 competition, the plot suddenly seemed dated, and production was shelved. A story with the heroes traveling to New Zealand as challengers was judged too complex for young audiences to understand. This was still the pre-Lord-of-the-Rings era in which American knowledge of New Zealand, among both children and adults, was judged to be nil. Avril Debile moved on to other projects, but the only one of note to sailing fans was the similar Tsunami: Extreme Cat. This film, created with input from Cam Lewis, would have covered a cat named Tsunami who stows away aboard a trimaran attempting the Jules Verne Trophy in her owner’s seabag. Although charming and with fewer scenes that strain belief, this script had the misfortune of being submitted to the studio in August 2001, just weeks before the 9/11 attacks changed national concerns. With the 90s extreme sports fad now out of fashion, Tsunami was also cancelled.

It’s easy at a distance of a quarter-century to look on these projects with regret, thinking of how they might have raised the public profile of sailing in the USA. As cheesy and corny as the plots sound— surely if they had been made, “Sunny the dog” and “The Deed of Gift does not forbid dogs!” would be as much of a running joke on Scuttlebutt as “The Whomper”— they could have made the sport of sailing part of the childhood of an entire generation of young people.

Our cold comfort is that it is widely suspected that the scripts for Sunny Sets Sail that were passed around Hollywood in the early-mid 90s could have inspired other films of the era about improbable animal athletes, such as Air Bud, Racing Stripes, and MVP: Most Valuable Primate.

“Avril” is of course French for “April”, and “Débile” means “Stupid” or “Foolish”.

What a typically Australian story, Sydneys Bondi Icebergs ocean pool dates back to 1929. It is the only licensed winter swimming club in the world.

Built to help keep fitness up for the surf lifesavers in the winter months.

Open to the public, it will be busy as usual today.

wish I could submit as @ricstappen but oh well. have a maxiel proposal au I will unfortunately never write fully.

---

they go to perth for christmas.

max took so long to find the perfect ring. daniel loves jewellery and especially his rings and it has to work with the rest. has to

blend in so daniel can wear it and no one gets suspicious

it ends up being thick and silver and max wouldn’t be so obvious to have a lion embossed on it (though something is roaring his chest to tell him to). fans would clock it in the first second of the next unboxed. but it does have a light zig zag pattern engraved in black. not obvious at all. but it could be an M and V if you knew what you were looking for.

anyway they’re in perth and daniel is just so happy the entire time like he always is around his family... bouncing around his parents’ house, throwing the kids into the pool, getting browner under the sun by the day

max is just watching it all like he wants to do it - propose - a million times, they’re all good moments. but knows he’ll know the right one.

it's boxing day aus time and they facetime vic and the kids for christmas day. daniel nods along as luca excitedly shows them all his new toys, thrusting them at the camera before dropping them and moving onto the next. daniel asks lots of serious questions about them even though luca is too young to respond. he's taking it very seriously.

max is smitten but he doesn’t want a proposal to take away from a holiday. it needs its own day so he holds off even though the ring is burning a hole in his pocket.

they have a nice new years with daniel's friends. it’s crazy and they’re out 'til sunrise (a rare luxury). they have a drunken sloppy blowjob in the bathroom at a club and every second daniel is looking up at him with blown out pupils and wet lashes max is crazy with it thinking now now now

they go for a bushwalk on one of their last days before flying back to spain for testing. they’ve driven a few hours to get there, the hired range rover big and bulky and shiny against the dusty roads. daniel is in the passenger seat chewing on a mintie and playing air drums to the playlist he gave max no say in.

max forces himself to keep his eye on the road lest he stop the car and pull over to drag daniel into the spacious back seat and then get down on one knee on the rough carpet

they park, the only other car in the gravel parking lot is a beat up '92 corolla. the range rover looks expensive and out of place next to it, next to the trees that have been there hundreds of years and will be for hundreds more.

they make their way to the waterfall at the end of the track. 5 kilometers one way in the scorching western australian sun. sweat trickles down max's neck and he knows his face is red and blotchy. daniel is glowing.

daniel used to come here a lot as a kid. joe would bring him and michelle to swim when it got hot and daniel had always insisted that he would take max here one day.

to share that bit of his childhood with him. max thinks of an alternate timeline where his dad takes him on road trips for fun, not just to get to another race. another bitumen track. another lonely-----

it’s hard to picture.

“one day we’ll bring our kids here, right maxy?” daniel asks, randomly. max whips his head around to make sure he heard right and sees daniel grinning at him.

not the big fake one that shows everything to his molars - the one that he saves just for max. it’s softer. smaller. but just as bright

and finally the ring gets so hot max has to pull it out. it’s not even in a box, his pants are too tight for that.

he fumbles for a moment trying to fish it out. doesn’t want to drop it and lose it in the scrub. daniel watches him with a laugh and it’s clear he’s wondering what the hell max is doing the way his eyebrows raise.

when max pulls it out he realises he hasn't thought this part through. doesn’t have a speech prepared. knows that if this was the other way around daniel would waffle for minutes before max would tell him to just get to the point.

“marry me” he says instead. tries not to inflect up to make him sound unsure

daniel flicks his eyes between his face to his outstretched hand, the ring glinting in the harsh overhead sun “marry you” daniel repeats. it’s not a question, but it is “yes?” max says. “yes. daniel, marry me.” the ring is burning hot now. physically this time as well. “shouldn’t you be down on one knee?” daniel questions with his eyebrow raised. he hasn’t moved “mate these shorts are so tight I don’t think I can do that,” max replies, honest. daniel laughs and max fiddles with the ring in his palm. “okay” daniel smiles. “let’s get married maxy”

and max finally gets to do what he’s been thinking about for months. watching the silver and black slide over daniel’s tanned bony knuckles where it will sit for the rest of their lives.

Hey could you do general headcannons of Haru, Makoto, Nagisa, Rei as tiktokers, they will be so wild as tiktokers lmao thanks

style five as tiktokers

➳ character/s: nanase haruka, tachibana makoto, ryugazaki rei, hazuki nagisa, matsuoka rin

➳ warnings: mentions of food (rin)

➳ notes: i added rin just so it'd be nice and would be easy if we just added the missing style five member. also, i’m so sorry this is so late :((

── 𝐍𝐀𝐍𝐀𝐒𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐔𝐊𝐀.

he's a lurker.

he has an account, but doesn't post on it much

mostly just scrolls through and likes or favourites videos

never comments

but when he does post

it's sometimes beach ambience

or honestly

it's him cooking mackerel into different dishes

so he teaches the world the glories of mackerel

though, once he did a swimming tiktok

and everyone started thirsting for him

that was the moment he realised he'd made a mistake

even then

everyone is just thirsting for his hands??

he'll be cooking

all you can see is his hands

and people are still after him-

── 𝐓𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐁𝐀𝐍𝐀 𝐌𝐀𝐊𝐎𝐓𝐎.

he's recording cats

no doubt

always posting tiktoks about the white cat in his neighbourhood

otherwise, he's trying to join in on the trends

and sometimes it fails

but sometimes

it works

and it works WELL

the ring light trend

and sometimes he does words of affirmation

if you're having a bad day

HERE HE COMES WITH THE

'it's ok to feel sad, you're valid and we love you :))'

and it's so wholesome

i imagine he tries to do the dancing trends as well

but for the most part, he's your cat content provider

and we live for that, honestly

── 𝐑𝐘𝐔𝐆𝐀𝐙𝐀𝐊𝐈 𝐑𝐄𝐈.

troom troom better watch out

rei is coming through with the hacks

that actually work

but he's also an education man like hank green

also updating people on the world as it happens

but mostly teaching them maths hacks

like how to calculate percentage really fast

he's teaching you real life things

like how to pay your bills

because school doesn't do it

so he said

'fine, i'll do it myself'

sometimes he will teach you how to make cool things for projects

he's also on booktok

and he's probably accidentally crossed over to smuttok

he's been scarred for life.

── 𝐇𝐀𝐙𝐔𝐊𝐈 𝐍𝐀𝐆𝐈𝐒𝐀.

is he even on any side of tiktok??

he's so chaotic that he's on all sides of tiktok

once, he was on furrytok

the next day he was on some dream smp lore

and now he’s on gymtok.

as for his upload schedule

there isn’t one

he probably attempts to do tiktok dances but fails

especially about damn time

he can’t for the life of him do the helicopter part

if not, he takes random videos of things

probably takes really choppy videos of swim club shit

and for sure makes multiple versions of the same sound so he can reach a wide audience

nagisa has definitely done the virginity corner tiktok

i also imagine he’d be super active for a day and then dip for the next 3 months

OH YEAH

he was there when it was musical.ly-

── 𝐌𝐀𝐓𝐒𝐔𝐎𝐊𝐀 𝐑𝐈𝐍.

thirst traps incoming

he’s done fitness things as well

educational diet thingss

also many versions of the ‘6 feet tall and super strong’ trend

he probably does some spicy content every now and then as well

other than that, it’ll probably be australian travel stuff

has made multiple posts dedicated to the meat pie

and the mcdonald’s hash browns

also has reacted to others eating vegemite with absolute disgust because they put too much on

other than that, he’s probably got some feminist stuff on there

100% stitched the clip of the guy saying a girl having an instagram counts as cheating

it was just him staring at the screen like ._. and then >:((

also also

body positivity man

will always be there to tell people they’re beautiful etc

and if you say otherwise

he’s gonna hunt you down

{ JOSH HEUSTON, 21, CISGENDER MALE, HE/HIM } Is that NATHANIEL SHAW? A JUNIOR originally from SAG HARBOR, NY, they decided to come to Ogden College to study UNDECIDED on an ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP. They’re THE BRUISER WITH A SOFT CENTER on campus, but even they could get blamed for Greer’s disappearance.

THE ESSENTIALS

Nathaniel Shaw hates rich people. Raised in a poor family, by an on-and-off single mother thanks to his absentee father, he had to work for every single cent he’s ever had. He dealt with this with bitterness and resentment, choosing to take it out by punching whoever pissed him off, getting into fights and trouble more often than not as he was growing up. With his athletic talents, it was enough to get him a scholarship to Ogden, but not enough that he’d ever get the chip off his shoulder about being the poor kid around the unbelievably wealthy. He’s over-sensitive, withdrawn, and tactless, but if you get on his good side, he may just allow you to share his weed and show that underneath that, he does have a pisces stellium, and does in fact have feelings beyond just letting them get hurt so he can start hitting people.

CHARACTER INSPIRATIONS

HOBBIES: ….smoking weed, contemplating the misery of his existence, punching people in the face, fucking bitches and getting money (except the money part because he’s poor), playing the guitar/lowkey fucking around with music production

HABITS: his habits include smoking a joint daily, punching whoever pisses him off, scowling when people speak to him……there’s probs more but that’s what i got tbh

SMOKES? weed, constantly.

DRINKS? most definitely

DRUGS? has dabbled, but will certainly get worse if the plots i want work out

HOW THEY EMBODY THEIR TROPE:

Nate is the BRUISER WITH A SOFT CENTER because, at the end of the day, he is far more sensitive than he will ever let on. Everything hurts this Pisces moon, even as he glowers and glares, and yes, punches his way through them. He’s quick to react with anger - which often translates into violence - all while hiding how things are constantly hurting him. It’s easier to ignore it, because there’s nothing he can do. It’s just the hand he was dealt. And if he’s good at anything (which he still thinks may be debatable), it’s throwing a punch.

EXPANDED PERSONALITY:

Most of Nate’s personality is negative. Even what could be a positive trait (such as competitiveness, honesty, sensitivity, intensity….) he tends to turn it up to 1000 until it’s damaging. But honestly, most of it just negative to start with. He’s very withdrawn and broody, spends most of his time and interactions just glowering at people, and yet has an extremely short fuse, so will go from no reaction to swinging in the blink of an eye. he basically throws tantrums like a toddler, albeit a very large, 6′5″ toddler who actually knows how to fight.

However, he is extremely loyal if he decides someone is worth it - spoiler alert, most people aren’t - he will be there for them in the best way Nate knows how. Still tactless, but like, he tries his best. Basically his way of showing emotional support is being like so, uh, you wanna smoke a joint? Because at the end of the day, Nate is not very smart. Emotionally, or in a book smart sense. He can come off a bit of a himbo, just with his attempts to be charming and flirt with women (when he wants to). Plus he’s hot. And he knows it. And isn’t afraid to use it.

When it comes to women (ladies, please run), Nate likes to be pursued. He hates having to make the first move - probably due to of feeling like he isn’t worth it, more on that below - and he will flirt, charm, seduce, but when it actually comes down to it, he wants the other person to make that final leap. Some sort of validation or something. He likes when girls pay attention to him, and tries to coax it out of them. However, he also has a lot of resentment towards his mother for chasing after his father and bending over backwards to try to make things work, so he also loses interest as soon as a girl is too interested. And when he loses interest, he won’t say anything, he’ll just ghost or cheat. The only kind of confrontation Natey boi is good at is one that involves his fists.

His default way of connecting with people is...well, sex. Nate has no examples of a healthy emotional relationship, and he isn’t good at making friends, so typically, when a girl wants to get close to him, he fakes intimacy with his head between their legs, making them feel like they have him because he’s sleeping with them. Like he’s open and connected to them just because they boned. In reality, it’s just his way of avoiding the emotional intimacy he’s petrified of, because he knows it’ll come back to hurt him. The only downside to all that is the rare times he does want to emotionally connect with someone, he has no idea how to. All he knows how to offer is his body, really.

Nate’s very dry, prone to swearing (he did grow up in Australia), and his sense of humor is very deadpan. If you actually talk to him, you realize there’s a lot of sarcasm in his cynicism, put the issue is that he’s extremely withdrawn from most people, and honestly doesn’t even see the point in having conversations with them. He also uses this to hide a lot of his fundamental insecurities - he genuinely feels like he’s not going to amount to much, mostly because he’s been made to feel that way. He acts brash and confident, but he really does struggle with feeling like he’s worth anything. It’s part of why he gets so over-competitive, because he wants to prove he’s good at something.

CONNECTION IDEAS

CONNECTION PAGE TBD

always down to brainstorm and put nate into anything that would fit !!

RELATIONSHIP WITH GREER:

When the Shaw family moved back to Sag Harbor from Australia, where Nate’s mother grew up, they instantly realized they were not on the same class playing feel as everyone else. They had never been wealthy. Four children and barely steady incomes from their parents - when they were even together - guaranteed that. The kids all realized pretty quickly they were going to have to get jobs, especially now that their father was completely out of the picture. Nate ended up working for a few families who ‘summered’ (god, he hated that word) nearby, working as a pool boy. One of those families…yeah, you guessed it, was the Morrison’s. Greer took interest in the pretty Australian pool boy who was her age, inviting him along to join some of the parties she and her friends had, despite him being her family’s staff. No way was that going to end badly.

Also, they may have hooked up a time or two their senior year of high school. But that’s irrelevant.

FAMILY

BIOGRAPHY

Nathaniel Shaw is the 3rd of four children to a very unhappy couple. Ella was twenty, and Luke, her very new Australian boyfriend - a deadbeat musician who wasted any money he got on drugs and alcohol - was twenty-seven, when they got pregnant the first time, and spent the next five years popping out four children. Ella was from Sag Harbor (aka the Hamptons), and she planned on raising her children there, but when Nate was three years old (Finnegan, the youngest, was two), Luke decided to go back to Australia, not giving many fucks if Ella and his children came with them. Ella, having felt like the last seven years of her life would be a waste if she let him walk away, despite their tumultuous, on and off again relationship, picked up the four kids, moved them to Melbourne with their father, and married him. Even married, they broke up a lot, Luke going off and disappearing for months at a time. Ella was inattentive, cold, and distant to her children, even though it never managed to extend to their asshole of a father. All of her emotional output was in that relationship, and her four Shaw siblings ended up holding themselves together to raise each other.

When Nate was fifteen, after twelve years in Australian, Ella decided she had enough, moved back to Sag Harbor, and immediately began the process to divorce Luke. The sibling’s were all shocked, a move around the world confusing enough when you’re a toddler, but nearly impossible for teenagers. Especially for lower class teenagers moving into a place like Sag Harbor, where people - the people who actually lived there - were comparable to them, but there were mansions worth millions of dollars, celebrities, and whole shit ton of wealth that came there to vacation. Nate took the move the hardest, and he started getting into a lot of fights while refusing to adjust. Nate and Liam had always had a rough relationship, and brawled as siblings do, though they tended to get more violent - egged on by their father, who could contribute little, but could contribute how to throw a punch.

After a few months, one of his fights ended up constituting as assault. It was bad enough, and the other kid had no chance to get any fighting back, so Nate ended up in juvie. He had no idea what he was going to do - he knew his mother couldn’t afford to pay for a lawyer, and he pretty much resigned himself to staying in there for however long he got sentenced for. Luckily, the charges were dropped, which would make you think would scare him straight - perhaps get him to stop fighting, but no such luck. Instead, all through high school, Nate had a bit of a reputation. He was a stellar athlete, particularly in swimming, but even more than that, he was spectacular at kicking someone’s ass.

That reputation quickly got him an invite into an illicit fighting ring, which, as you can imagine in the Hamptons, ended up having a lot of money thrown around as bets. Did he enjoy making these rich kids even more money? No, he didn’t. But, he was a surefire bet to win. And what that meant was that he got a cut of the money for himself too. And as desperate as Nate was for money, that was worth it. Plus, the fact that he had no healthy emotional outlet, well...fighting with people was a good way to let it all out. But it got him a reputation for being dangerous, and it got the Hamptons vacationites intrigued to say the least. So he started getting a lot of invites to hang out with them, to go to parties, to be part of the in crowd. When rich kids - like Greer Morrison - were in the Hamptons for the summer, or sneaking out there during various other vacations to party with no supervision, Nate (and often his siblings) would be invited along. And for the first couple years being in Sag Harbor, as a sophomore, a junior....he was fine with it. But as he got older, as he got more aware of the opportunities they would always be presented that he would never even get a chance to sniff at, he grew resentful, he grew bitter, and he grew to hate them.

All of that came to a head early in the fall of his senior year, when they were having a back to school party in a home that was still being built, music blasting and copious amounts of drugs and alcohol. Of course, young and feeling invincible, no one ever expected for them to be caught. But they were when they accidentally threw a still lit joint out, setting the house ablaze like it was kindling. Honestly, at that point of construction? It basically was. And every single kid there - except for Nate - had rich, influential parents who pulled strings to get them out of trouble. Except for Nate. And he took the fall for it, almost ending up in serious trouble, until he threatened to rat out one of the kids who was there with him. Who’s parent happened to work in law. Then, mysteriously, the trouble mostly went away. But it was still known that he had burned that building down, and invitations from the top schools that had been courting him disappeared, Nate suddenly faced with the sobering realization that he may have completely fucked up his future, because he didn’t have the connections that the rich brats visitng the Hamptons did.

It infuriated him. Enough so that even though he had been dating one of the rich kids - Parker, a senator’s daughter - for over a year, he had no qualms about ghosting all of them after the party, bitterness coating his every thought and opinion towards the rich kids he had previously tolerated. And while his partying may have gotten more under control - slightly, just due to the lack of access - his fighting got worse. There were multiple times where he was almost caught, almost in serious trouble, but everyone managed to cut him a break. They felt for the Shaw kids, especially Nate, with his talent and yet no parent to support him, and the fact that he had almost ruined everything with a stupid party. So his teachers and even a cop or two, cut the kid a break, knowing - hoping - that so long as he got through this last year of high school with his nose relatively clean, he’d be able to get out of town with a scholarship.

And he did end up getting a scholarship. He got a full ride to Ogden for his athletic talents, and even though it wasn’t the type of place he wanted to be, knowing the crowd of students would be much like the ones he grew up seeing descend on the Hamptons every summer, he went anyways. Did the scholarship come through thanks to some strings pulled, hoping his mouth would stay shut about the arson he didn’t commit? Maybe. But he had no other choice - it’s not like he could pay for college on his own.

SOME FUN FACTS

yes, nate has jacob’s real australian accent

worked as a pool boy and mowed lawns and shit during the summer once he moved back to the Hamptons as a teen to make some extra cash, so rubbed shoulders with a lot of rich kids, which just made him more bitter about all of it

he did in fact sleep with several milf housewives while he was doing above jobs

he is basically ryan atwood and i regret nothing

he came to ogden as a freshman in college, but is very much behind in his schooling - as in, he came as an engineering major (why? no idea - think someone told him too and he was like, well, i have no hopes or dreams of my own, so y not), failed a bunch of classes, and then ended up switching to an undecided major for his junior year...so is he going to graduate on time? absolutely not

plays the guitar and piano and likes to fuck around with music production in his free time - his father is a musician so his lack of acknowledging this/sharing this/actually allowing himself to enjoy it is due to his ~daddy issues~

here’s his pinterest it’s not a good one but alas it’s a bit of somethin somethin

50 things I probably won't get done before 50

Let's face it, I've been working on varying versions of this list for 12 years. I've never come close to hitting my goal. BUT I have done a whole bunch of things I've always wanted to do, that I probably never would have done other wise, so whether or not I reach the goal, I think this is a good thing to keep going.

The Joker & Harley Quiin

(Jared Leto y Margot Robiie)

Jared Leto. Luisiana 26 de diciembre 1971 actor, cantante, director y productor estadounidense, fundador de la banda de rock alternativo 30 Seconds to Mars. vivió en diez ciudades distintas durante su infancia llena de artistas, su madre era trapecista y su padre, tras abandonar a su familia por otra mujer, se suicidó cuando Jared tenía ocho años.

*Jared Leto. Louisiana December 26, 1971 American actor, singer, director and producer, founder of the alternative rock band 30 Seconds to Mars. He lived in ten different cities during his childhood full of artists, his mother was a trapeze artist and his father, after leaving his family for another woman, committed suicide when Jared was eight years old.*

En 2014 se anuncio que sería el Joker en El escuadrón suicida. Se compró la guarida de un supervillano: una base aérea del ejército estadounidense abandonada, de 9.200 metros cuadrados y muros de 1,2 metros de grosor, donde se efectuaron ensayos atómicos, 50 habitaciones e incluye un gimnasio, una piscina, una torre de control, una serie de sótanos que se adentran varios metros bajo tierra, una sala de cine, un refugio nuclear y una guillotina.

*In 2014 it was announced that he would be the Joker in The Suicide Squad. The lair of a supervillain was bought: an abandoned US Army airbase, 9,200 square meters with 1.2 meter thick walls, where atomic tests were carried out, 50 rooms and includes a gym, a swimming pool, a control tower , a series of cellars that go several meters underground, a movie theater, a fallout shelter and a guillotine.*

A la hora de enfrentar al Joker (personaje icónico que llevó a Heath Ledger al abismo de la locura) Leto se preparó viendo vídeos de violencia real hasta sentirse cómodo con ella. Pero al empezar el rodaje, su proceso transformativo se limitó a gastar bromas más propias de un adolescente que de un anarquista: en vez de acudir a los ensayos, envió a un mensajero para que tirase un cerdo muerto sobre la mesa de la lectura de guión, una caja con una rata viva dentro (a Margot Robbie). Y al resto del reparto, condones aparentemente usados, cajas con balas, consoladores anales y una revista porno con las páginas pegajosas.

*When it came to facing the Joker (an iconic character who led Heath Ledger to the abyss of madness), Leto prepared himself by watching videos of real violence until he felt comfortable with it. But when filming began, his transformative process was limited to making jokes more typical of a teenager than an anarchist: instead of going to rehearsals, he sent a messenger to throw a dead pig on the script reading table. , a box with a live rat inside (to Margot Robbie). And to the rest of the cast, apparently used condoms, boxes of bullets, butt plugs, and a porn magazine with sticky pages.*

En El club de la pelea interpretó a Cara de Ángel, un chaval cuya belleza era tan insoportable que Taylor Norton deseaba destrozarle el rostro a puñetazos (y así pasó)

In Fight Club he played Angel Face, a boy whose beauty was so unbearable that Edward Norton wanted to smash his face with his fists (and so it happened).

Margot Elise Robbie. Dalby Queensland; 2 de julio de 1990. Actriz y productora de cine australiano. Criada en una granja, Robbie debió trabajar desde temprana edad para ayudar a sustentar a su familia luego del abandono de su padre. En su infancia siempre había mostrado interés por la actuación y a los 17 años se mudó a Melbourne en busca de oportunidades. Robbie se convirtió en la primera artista en representar a Quinn para la pantalla grande.

*Margot Elise Robbie. Dalby Queensland; July 2, 1990. Australian actress and film producer. Raised on a farm, Robbie had to work from an early age to help support her family after her father abandoned her. In her childhood she had always shown an interest in acting and at the age of 17 she moved to Melbourne in search of opportunities. Robbie became the first artist to represent Quinn for the big screen.*

"Relación disfuncional, pero muy adictiva" explica Robbie. "Cabe señalar que él es prácticamente imposible de manipular, pero también pierde la cabeza por ella"

"Dysfunctional relationship, but very addictive" explains Robbie. "It should be noted that he is practically impossible to manipulate, but he also loses his head for her"

La actriz también reveló que Rata Rata (la rata viva que le regaló leto en una caja) se convirtió en su mascota, hasta que su casero se dio cuenta y tuvo que entregarlo a otros miembros del staff.

*The actress also revealed that Rata Rata (the live rat that gave her leto in a box) became her pet, until her landlord found out and had to hand it over to other staff members.*

The celeb that made Mel Buttle realise she was gay

New Post has been published on https://qnews.com.au/the-celeb-that-made-mel-buttle-realise-she-was-gay/

The celeb that made Mel Buttle realise she was gay

Each month we ask Queensland entertainers to spill the tea about themselves, their craft and the local scene. This month it’s national comedy star Mel Buttle who reveals how she got into comedy, who made her realise she was gay and what her first-ever gay bar was.

Mel was born and raised in Brisbane and is a regular on Australian radio and TV. She has appeared in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Australia, The Great Australian Bake Off and recently co-hosted ABC’s Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras coverage.

Growing up in Samford, Brisbane was….

Pretty cool, if you liked playing in the creek and setting things on fire, which, surprise I did, very much. I would now kill to live out there on acreage, but as a teenager, I thought it was boring and too far away from my friends who all lived somewhere cool in the inner city. Now, I realise it’s the lesbian dream to live on a big block and grow your own veggies.

I got into comedy because…

I was a high school drama teacher, and I was always into watching the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Gala and one day I saw a flyer for a short comedy course and gave it a go. Then, I got bitten by the bug and wanted to chase the high of performing all the time. Also, sleeping in was a huge factor in my decision. I’m no good before Dr Phil’s been on.

Being a teacher taught me…

That I’m not all that interesting.

I knew I could make a career out of comedy when…

You think I can? Gosh, I’m still surprised when the phone rings.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by MEL BUTTLE (@melindabuttle)

The best gig I did was…

In regional NSW. The whole town came, the mayor gave us a tour of the beetroot farm and we had dinner at the RSL. The gig was in the school basketball court and it went off.

The worst audience I had was…

A football club luncheon, I wasn’t experienced enough and should’ve said no.

The most famous person I’ve met is…

Hmm that’s subjective, but Matt Lucas from Little Britain was up there.

My dream gig is…

Breakfast radio and some tele show where I cook food with chefs in my pyjamas.

I knew I was a lesbian when…

I had impure thoughts about Nigella Lawson.

My first gay bar was…

Sporties in The Valley for Karaoke!

My celebrity crush is…

Hayley Raso from the Matildas, she’s a babe.

youtube

Becoming a parent is…

Doing wonders for my ability to multitask, I can now make a curry, play monster trucks and book in swimming lessons.

The inspiration behind my character Lyn is…

Every mum I’ve ever met lives in Lyn.

The joke that got me into the most trouble was…

About my pubes and Julia Gillard.

What people don’t appreciate about Brisbane is…

No one gives a shit about being fancy.

The best thing about doing comedy in regional Australia is…

The pub feeds and the yarns afterwards with the locals, my gosh the best jokes I’ve ever heard that I can’t repeat here.

Mel Buttle is currently on a national comedy tour until August. Follow @melindabuttle on Instagram for details.

The Ledge #610: New Releases Pt. 2

This week's continuation of last week's new release episode features, once again, no drop off in quality. There's plenty of great new music from both relatively new artists and longtime veterans. I mean, who could have guessed that we'd still have vital tunes from two of America's first punk bands, T.S.O.L. and Nervous Eaters? Let alone the return of The Bevis Frond, the latest from super-prolific songwriter Daniel Romano, and a plethora of Australian bands?

Oh, and by the way, I'm looking for some suggestions for next week's show. Earlier this week, I pulled out my collecton of ten-inch vinyl EP's, and I'd like to do a broadcast based on those generally forgotten records. But I don't have enough of these types of releases to fill a whole show, so please let me know some of your favorites of this format!

PHYSICAL INFORMATION

FACE CLAIM: Jacob Elordi

EYE COLOUR: brown

HAIR COLOUR + STYLE: dark brown, worn like this (yes, the mullet, sorry).

ACCENT + INTENSITY: Australian - it comes and goes with how strong it is. He lived in Melbourne from age 3-15, so it’s definitely there, but it also is faded at this point, especially on certain words. it can come out stronger as well, and he definitely do be emphasizing it sometimes

TATTOO(S): a thin line around his left forearm, with a wave above it on the inside of his arm (going almost up into his elbow), coordinates of sag harbor and melbourne on the back of his left arm above his elbow, rowing oar along the outer bone of his right forearm, initial tattoo on the inside of his right forearm (gotten with all four siblings when his younger sister turned 18)

He also wears all the jewlery/rings/necklaces and often has his nails painted. and this pic is the ultimate nate style for me.

SMOKES? weed, constantly.

DRINKS? most definitely

DRUGS? has dabbled....and will get worse if the plots i want work out

HOW THEY EMBODY THEIR TROPE:

EXPANDED PERSONALITY:

Speaking of women (ladies, please run), Nate likes to be pursued. He hates having to make the first move - probably due to of feeling like he isn’t worth it, more on that below - and he will flirt, charm, seduce, but when it actually comes down to it, he wants the other person to make that final leap. Some sort of validation or something. He likes when girls pay attention to him, and tries to coax it out of them. However, he also has a lot of resentment towards his mother for chasing after his father and bending over backwards to try to make things work, so he also loses interest as soon as a girl is too interested. And when he loses interest, he won’t say anything, he’ll just ghost or cheat. The only kind of confrontation Natey boi is good at is one that involves his fists.

His default way of connecting with people is…well, sex. Nate has no examples of a healthy emotional relationship, and he isn’t good at making friends, so typically, when a girl wants to get close to him, he fakes intimacy with his head between their legs, making them feel like they have him because he’s sleeping with them. Like he’s open and connected to them just because they boned. In reality, it’s just his way of avoiding the emotional intimacy he’s petrified of, because he knows it’ll come back to hurt him. The only downside to all that is the rare times he does want to emotionally connect with someone, he has no idea how to. All he knows how to offer is his body, really.

CONNECTION IDEAS

some wanted dynamics -

a childhood friend from australia (one day i will submit this wc to the main)

i still really would like nate to get into music, so someone to help encourage him along that path would be....amazing. he really loves music, but his father was a deadbeat musician, and since nate HATES him sm...he's gotta come to terms with that side of himself

in general, someone(s) who encourages his artsy soft boi side to come out

hamptons enemies - people who summared in the hamptons, dynamic would be dependant on muse. maybe people whose families he worked for (outside of the Morrison's?)?? Bonus points if they had a hot mom he could've banged !!

fight club - nate street fights for money, so ppl who participate or aware of that would be funsies

hook-ups/fwbs/ons's to help him get over the girls in his past since they are all no longer options rip

flirtationships - bc nate rarely makes the first move

the other man - nate has no morals, so if u need someone for ur muse to cheat on their significant other with...here he is

and as always - down to brainstorm and put nate into anything that would fit !!

RELATIONSHIP WITH GREER:

Also, they may have hooked up a time or two their senior year of high school. But that’s irrelevant.

FAMILY

FULL FAMILY PAGE

SOCIAL CLASS: lower class

FATHER: Luke Shaw

MOTHER: Ella Shaw, née Quentin

SIBLING(S)? 3 - older brother; Liam Shaw , older sister; Melanie Shaw, and a younger sister; Quentin "Quinnie" Shaw.

CHILDREN? do not let this man reproduce no matter what you do (also having children is also his worst nightmare, since the last thing he wants is to his father)

ABOUT NATE

FULL BIOGRAPHY

nate is the third out of four kids in five years to two highly incompatible people

his mom followed his dad back to australia when he was 3, only to call it all off 12 years later, and move back to sag harbor when nate was 15

nate took the move v hard in general, got into a lot of fights, briefly ended up in juvie after being charged with assault

couldn't pay for a lawyer, but the kid he was defending became his best friend (xoxo keys) and his father was a public defender and got the charges dropped, so he doesn't TECHNICALLY have it on his record

shortly after he got invited to an illicit fighting ring, which had money being given to winners and tossed around in bets by the rich kids who vacationed in the summer

that's how nate ended up hanging out with them and partying with them despite being poorTM

early in the fall his senior year, there was a back to school party where the house they were in ended up burning down - since nate was the only one who didn't have rich parents, who do you think took the fall? (hint: nate)

stanford stopped recruiting him & he broke up with his girlfriend at the time (actually, he just ghosted her, but that counts)

did he end up getting a scholarship at ogden in return for keeping his mouth shut? maybe (yes)

when he came to ogden as a freshman in college, he came in as an engineering major (why? no idea - think someone told him too and he was like, well, i have no hopes or dreams of my own, so y not), failed a bunch of classes, and then ended up switching to an undecided major for his junior year…so is he going to graduate on time? absolutely not. he is very much behind in his schooling.

SOME FUN FACTS

yes, nate has jacob's australian accent

he is basically ryan atwood and i regret nothing

he worked as a pool boy and mowed lawns and shit during the summer once he moved back to the Hamptons as a teen to make some extra cash, so rubbed shoulders with a lot of rich kids, which just made him more bitter about all of it

he did in fact sleep with several milf housewives while he was doing above jobs

deep down he is an artsy soft boi, and he just refuses to acknowledge that he loves music because of his father, and the fear that exploring that side of himself will just turn him into his dad. it's definitely something he needs to come to terms to still

he started taking more art classes this semester now that he is undecided and he signed up for a wheel-throwing class so he QUICKLY became one of those slutty shirtless wheel-throwing tik tok boys. his first successful pot he made he gave to rhia so she could plant things in it.

FALL SEMESTER TOUCHBASE

jesse threw nate under the bus, nate threw jesse under the bus, they kissed fought, the cops were looking at nate real sussy

so yeah from the very first sit down with the cops, nate was not making a good impression

he did get dragged outta the pool during a swim practice to be questioned

after their second interview, he is in their list of suspects :)

overall, nate is trying very hard to not be involved with greer or her disappearance at ALL because he does not want to be held responsible

he did overhear (with pippa) penny saying that she knew why greer left

oh also, he hooked monty and ollie up with a half built house to use as a drug base, thanks to his connects in the construction industry near ogden

he has those connects bc the summer between his freshman and sophomore years, he worked for nat's dad while they were dating. and nat's dad hates him. so nate said fuck u i'ma have my friends deal drugs outta ur house
