This is a compilation of highlights from a panel held at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force with Kirk Saduski (executive and producer at Playtone), Donald L. Miller (author of Masters of the Air), and Nate Mann (you know who he is 😌). The whole discussion is very insightful and really fun to watch, especially because Don knew Rosie very well, so I highly recommend that you watch it in its entirety. You can watch it here. There's a summary below if you don't want to watch the compilation 😉
Don on Rosie and Nate: “I’ve never met a more impressive human being in my life… his poise, his coolness, his composure.” He thinks Nate “played [Rosie] to a T.” 
Nate on the cast getting to know each other and the friendships formed: “A mission like [Münster]… took probably three weeks in a replica cockpit… all the while, Josh Bolt, my co-pilot is sitting right next to me… this was going on for a year… I was just texting him today… that kind of friendship is really the foundation of something like this… because they’re really up there for one another.”
Don on the show: “What makes the film for me is what Kirk talked about… the attention to detail is incredible and the dedication on the part of the actors, they jumped into these roles… I never saw a group of actors so emphatically committed to the project as these guys were; it was really incredible.”
Don on Rosie and Nate: “Rosie was [the] kind of guy who walks into a room and commands the room.” To Nate: “I thought you did that brilliantly, in an understated way. It would have been so easy to overstate that.” —> Nate: *nods vigorously and mouths 'thank you'* 😊🙏
Kirk to Nate: “You’re at the beginning of what we know is going to be a brilliant career, Nate.” —> Nate: *embarrassed* 🤭🙈🙉🙊🫣
Nate on how playing Rosie affected his life: “Things stick around… It’s always a good sign when you keep coming up with questions you might ask of your character. I would love to just sit down and talk to [Rosie] about jazz… I still feel this curiosity about him.”
Nate on how the incorporation of Rosie’s love for music was helpful: “When I first encountered Rosie, the thing you’re struck by is the magnitude of what he went through and what he chose to do in spite of what he went through, and that warrior-spirit... juxtaposed with this incredible warmth and this grace, and that’s where the music lives for me... He had this sense of trying to bring a buoyancy into others’ experiences, and I think he did with his crew. That balance there, between that steel-headed courage and his effortless warmth with others, was kind of where I tried to pivot.”
During the pandemic, Nate found a letter from his grandfather on his father’s side: it was from 1941 and mentioned how “unhappy he was.” 
The letter said: “I just feel this frustration… this sense of wanting to do something with my life, this sense of responsibility, this sense of responsibility to you, to my parents, to my country, and to this society that gives me, a jew, a chance to live.” 
Nate thought of that letter when auditioning for MotA because “that personal sense of duty, for Rosie, was so pivotal to his inspiration and helping him fight.” He further said that “getting to explore that connection to [his] grandfather… it’s one of those unexpected great wonders of getting to do the work that [they] get to do.”
Nate on what stands out with this project: “This is unique in that, feeling connected to this history and being able to be part of sharing it with you guys and helping to educate the public on these men, on WW2, on that sacrifice, brings a whole other dimension of meaning to our work.”
The rest of the video is made up of clips of Nate being an adorable, sweet, thoughtful, and supportive human being 🥰

blah blah blah aging tumblr population etc etc if you are ever visiting a family that just had a baby, and you know that they have other small children, bring a little something for each of the other kids. it doesn’t have to be anything fancy but, even the most charitable, well-behaved child starts feeling left out and lonely after the nth visitor brings gifts and attention for their parents and new sibling and, either isn’t there for them at all or the only engage with them about their baby sibling, especially since their parents have probably been completely consumed with the new baby. make their day and they will remember that bit of kindness and attention from you forever.

Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
over spring break you watched a few “videos” to get a better idea of what you and luke should be doing in bed because i mean neither of you are very experienced so you wanted to try some new things so when you got back to camp you suggested a new position to luke and he was more than happy to oblige.
it wasn't anything like super crazy though, just that your lower back was raised off the bed by your pretty pink pillows, allowing luke to cock to hit deeper.
his thrust were slow, caluclated, drawing little whimpers from you with each thrust. he was asking you something, however you have turned into a cock-drunk mess. his question struggling to resonate in your mind. all you could focus on was the rhythmic squeak of your bunk, the coil in you stomach threatening to break, his fingers digging into the flesh of your hips already leaving bruises…
and then everything stilled. there was a foreign pressure on your lower abdomen. the sensation sending goosebumps throughout your body, your warm walls instantly clenching as your eyes shot open to be met with him already staring at you.
"that got your attention, huh baby?”
"luke...wha–" you could only let out a whine as he did it again, you clenched around him making him let out a choked moan.
"look," you did as you were told and followed your gaze down until you saw it. there was a small bump protruding from the skin of your tummy. your eyes widened as he thrusted his hips forward to demonstrate, his cock visibly moving inside you. "looks like my dicks about to break ya open” he chuckled.
he began to thrust his hips forward again, using his finger to trace the outline over your stomach, enchanted by the sight of his dick ramming into you. “lu-muph!”
“awh did i fuck my poor baby dumb?” he cooed as he pressed down on your stomach again and this time you saw stars, toes curling as your jaw dropped , you’ve never came so hard before. so i guess it was safe to say your little research helped.
Tumblr media
authors note: again im sorry if the english is bad :) also tell me why i was helping my parents at their restaurant and one of the customers mocked my accent while i was taking their order and the thing is we live in hawaii and like you could tell they were tourists so like who has the audacity to mock someone who actually lives hear when you on our land which we dont even want you on like wtf (i have a spanish accent but still) also i saw something like this with this like idea but i think it was for nate jacobs (is that his name?!?)or something idk credits to them i guess

my brother's best friend (pt 1)
pt 2 pt 3 pt 4
pairing: matt sturniolo x y/n
summary: over the years you find yourself falling more in love with your brother's best friend.
warnings: none yet
this is the first story I've ever written, so sorry if it's bad. anyway, hope you guys enjoy.
· · ─── ·𖥸· ─── · ·
(the first day i saw him)
"mom!" I ran down the stairs. "yeah, what do you need?" "where's Nate? he said he would go to the movies with me over an hour ago." I was beginning to get upset, Nate promised that he would take me to see Spider-Man Homecoming with him. "I'm not sure, he said he would be home by 5" she responded. I let out a heavy sigh before walking out of the kitchen.
I went into the living room and sat on the couch, aimlessly scrolling on my phone. I watched as the minutes on the clock slowly ticked by, my eyes flicking to the front door every few seconds. it had been 3 hours before Nate had finally showed up, laughing as he walked through the door. three boys followed close behind him.
"dude that movie was so good" Nate said as he kicked off his shoes. "yeah, I still can't believe the way Spider-Man saved the Avenger's plane" one of the other boys spoke. I coughed loudly drawing the attention of my brother and his friends in the entryway. making eye contact with Nate, his face flashing with realization. "oh shit, y/n I'm so sor-" Nate tried to speak, but I stood up abruptly off the couch walking to my room and slamming the door.
the second I closed the door I could feel my eyes watering. it was one thing for Nate to blow of our plans because his practice ran late or something, but for him to go without me even though we had planned this out ever since the trailer came out, hurt. especially since he went with three people I've never met instead.
I jumped onto my bed, burying my face into the pillows. I could hear four sets of footsteps approaching my bedroom before someone knocked on the door. I knew it was Nate because he used the secret knock combination we came up with in order to tell if it was each other or our parents knocking. "go away Nate" my voice was muffled by the pillow. Nate had opened the door anyway, "y/n look I'm sorry, I totally forgot that we were planning to go to the movies today" I turned to face him when he spoke "yeah, yeah whatever Nate."
I glanced around him, taking in the appearance of his friends, each looking similar, but I could tell the differences once I looked a little longer. I made eye contact with the boy who was standing behind them all, almost not visible. I blushed and turned my head away so none of them could see it. "you can go, you obviously want to hang out with these people more than me anyway." Nate gave me a sad expression before walking out of my room, closing the door behind him. as I listened to the sounds of footsteps furthering from my door I decided to read a book instead of wallowing around.
the next time I looked at the clock it read 12:37 am. I decided that I might as well call it a night and changed into my pajamas, which consisted of a tank top and a pair of women's boxers. assuming that Nate's friends had gone home by now, I didn't bother to put on something more presentable as I left my room to grab a glass of water.
when I walked into the kitchen I was met with three pairs of eyes on me, with Nate being in the bathroom. "oh, you guys are still here" I uttered as I went to grab a glass. ''yep, seems like it" the one with longer hair spoke. my back was to them as I filled up the cup with water from the fridge. once finished I turned around to face the three boys. "look I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be rude, its just that Nate promised me he would take me to see that movie months ago. anyway I'm y/n." holding out my hand to them. The one with a nose ring takes it first "Nick" he shook my hand. "I'm Chris" the one with long hair spoke, dapping me up. "and you?" I turned to the last boy, realizing it's the one that I locked eyes with earlier. "Matt" he smiled slightly as he took my hand. my face flushed feeling the electricity buzzing through my fingertips.
"okay well nice to meet you guys, but I'm off to bed. tell Nate that I said he better take me to see that movie tomorrow, I don't care if he just watched it." "will do" Chris spoke, Matt and Nick nodded along. I headed back towards my room and closed the door, still thinking about the feeling of Matt's hand on mine. "well this is going to be a problem" I mumbled to myself before shutting off the light and snuggling under my covers.
· · ─── ·𖥸· ─── · ·
Nate had brought the triplets over again, many times over the next few years. each time my crush on Matt grew a little stronger. besides that I had actually gained a friendship with all of them.
· · ─── ·𖥸· ─── · ·
a/n: I'm probably going to move this story on pretty quickly I just wanted to get a little backstory out first.
let me know if there is anything I can do to write better, criticism is appreciated

can i request where you and Colby have been friends since childhood and you have never gone on a ghost hunt with him until now. It's just you and him at one of the places he's gone to before. It's going great till you feel your neck scratched and you have a panic attack. Colby is super sweet and gets you out asap and makes sure you are ok
Ghostly Encounter
Tumblr media
Again, this imagine isn't written to entirely match the actual video of The Hospital Of Nuns
Mentions of rape, violence
Slight changes of the request, i think
Colby and i have known each other for a lifetime now. We've been friends for a lifetime, our parents used to go to the same college, later on becoming neighbours and when both our mothers gave birth to us months apart, they kept on bringing us to each other's house to play together. I've always supported him and he supported me and we even talked about getting into the same college program. But he decided he wanted to pursue another type of career, which i fully supported him into. No matter the choices we've made in life, it looks like destiny has another plan for us, because a while back I've been accepted at UCLA, which made things so much easier for Colby and i. We've basically never gotten apart from one another, which is wild to think about.
Today, him and Sam invited me to go ghost hunting with them and Nate at Hospital of Nuns. I got really exciting when they proposed this to me and i was eager to accept it and to also get there. It's also a very good opportunity to catch up with Nate, since i haven't seen this man in a minute.
.
.
"This doesn't look like a hospital", i say as i get out of the car and scan the building with wide eyes.
"I know right? It looks insane", Colby wow's next to me and scans the surroundings
"Insanely damaged tho", i scrunch my nose when we almost enter the building, the mouldy, dusty and cracked walls still trying to keep up the structure of the old hospital after a lifetime. Colby chuckles behind me and we get ready for the tour of the rooms. We walk from room to room almost, spending more time in the most active rooms in the hospital. "You heard that? They don't like guys with tattoos. I'm finally out of any ghostly danger", i chuckle and the boys laugh. However, the guide raises his two point fingers in the air to stop us from laughing, signaling he disagrees with me.
"Actually", he pauses to capture our attention, "there is a certain room that women seem to be targeted and there is also a reason for that.", he leaves the room for us to follow him. I gulp and give Colby a concerned look. He puts a hand on the small of my back to comfort me.
"You brought me to the wrong place, besties", i nervously laugh and i almost bump into Sam when we suddenly stop in front of a door. The room is down in the basement and let alone the fact that it's a basement, the whole way down here is creepier than the Chapel.
"Here, it's the priest's bedroom. It's said that he used to rape two of the nuns who ran this hospital-church, which later on found out they're pregnant. The priest wouldn't have allowed that to happen, so, legend has it that he was either violent with them until they lost the kids or he made the two women abort them, which led to the nuns' deaths. He's known to be a pretty violent spirit and a few days ago, this woman had her hair pulled and another one had a bruise on her hip."
I gasp and cross my arms at my chest, feeling discouraged all of a sudden. I left this morning with great vibes and eager to experience what the boys do all the time. Now.. I'm questioning my choices in life, but also want to live the most out of this ghost hunting investigation.
The tour ends shortly after and we take a break to make up the investigation plan. Who goes where, what we use and so on.
"I'll take the prison room with Nate", Sam says and we nod, Nate exhaling in relief he doesn't go alone.
"Thank you brother", Nate hugs him and we laugh.
"I'll take the priest's room", i blurt out, shocked by my own choice. I frown at how direct i was.
"What? No, you're not. You heard Eddie. He is violent towards women", Colby almost shouts at me and massages his temples with his fingers. "You can't go there, I'll go"
"Colbs, you can't go to a room where you won't get any answers from because you're not a trigger object", i say and hand him one of the spirit boxes.
"You're not supposed to be a trigger object, y/n, you're supposed to be safe", he takes the spirit box and i feel the anxiousness in his voice. Sam and Nate go to the car to get the equipment that's missing. Colby clears his throat and lowers his voice almost to a whisper. "I'm sorry, y/n, i just want you to be ok, not a target for tonight. You never kniw what can happen and i don't want anything to happen to you", he puts a hand on my cheek and pinches it. A heat of wave hits me and i clear my throat, taking a step back from Colby. He takes his hand away and clears his throat too, a soft shade of pink visible on top of his cheeks.
"I'll be fine, of there's anything wrong at any time, I'll shout.", i give him an assuring smile, but his face remains straight, concerned.
"So, all good?", Sam asks, holding dozens of equipment parts in his hands. I smile at the view and nod.
"I'll take the room where the nuns don't like my tattoos", Colby sighs
"You came prepared for a week of investigating, not a night", i say amused
"This is what Sam and Colby is about", Sam laughs and we enter the building. We go our separate ways and we all hug each other amused, like we're not going to see each other again in half an hour. I think this is our coping mechanism when it comes to fear. Colby stays a few seconds longer with me when the guys leave for their room. He hugs me tightly.
"You call me of you hear anything, if you see anything, if you feel anything. I'll run down those stairs if needed.", his voice is calmer, but it breaks when saying the last words.
"I'll be fine, i won't do any of those. I'm not a crybaby.", i say amused, still hugging him.
"I know, you're so stubborn", he chuckles and kisses the top of my head. "Good luck"
I smile and turn my back to him, heading down the stair with a flashlight. "Good luck". I enter the room and place the camera on a chair next to the bed, filming myself, half of the room and also lightning up my surroundings. I have a clear view of the hallway, which freaks me out, but i sit on the bed and start scanning the room. I hold the spirit box and take a few deep breaths before i start doing anything. I place my phone next to me on the bed, preparing to call Colby, just in case.
"ok guys, so this is my first investigation with the boys, also the first one ever of this kind-", a loud boom interrupts me from talking to the camera. "The fuck was that?", my voice shakes and i make silence when i hear shuffling coming from the hallway. "There's shuffling outside the room", i barely say something, just mimicking the words and pointing towards the hallway with my thumb. I stay in silence a few more seconds, a clicking sound coming from the corner of the room, behind the camera. "I'm so glad i can't see anything behind that chair, you have no idea.", i say outloud, amused, trying to cope with my fear. I turn on the spirit box and frown when the noise fills the quiet place. An uneasy feeling grows in my chest when i think i see something down the hallway. I inhale and concentrate on the spirit box.
Down with you
"You're down here with me?", i ask the deep voice that came through the radio frequencies.
>> Yes
Wanted
"What do you want?"
Revenge
This place evil
"I got chills, oh my God, how can the boys do it all the time?", i ask, looking towards the camera. "Do you mean the whole place or just this room specifically?"
>> i have power
"Am i talking to the priest?"
Yes
No
"Yes and no? Are you two different people getting in contact with me?", i jump when i hear the bedroom door creaking, but it doesn't move. I try to calm myself down and i shut off the spirit box. "Ok, so, what i think is that there's the man talking to me and also one of the nuns maybe? Because it also seems like these are two different voices.", i stay silent for a moment when the shuffling noise comes back and two loud footsteps approach the bedroom. I start shaking, but play it cool so i wouldn't lose my mind. I turn on the music box again.
Leave
Call for help
"Why should i call for help?"
He's evil, he hurts-
"Who does he hurt?", i ask and i feel a stinging sensation on my neck. I wince in pain when i turn my head around to look for my phone to check my neck. I open the front camera and put it to the side where it hurts and i drop my phone when i see three visible scratch marks and a fourth forming one. I start breathing really fast, getting up from the bed and grabbing the t-shirt I'm wearing in a fist, at my chest level. I feel like i don't get enough air in my lungs and that I'm close to collapsing. I kneel on the floor and grab my phone to call Colby. A shadow passes my peripheral view and i put a hand on the side of my face to block anything to come through. I call Colby.
"Are you -"
"Colby, please come get me, I'm so scared", i almost shout, my voice breaking, hands caressing my thighs as my body is rocking back and forth, still trying to catch my breath. I hear loud footsteps approaching me and i note in my head that if that's not a human being approaching me, I'll probably faint of i don't see anyone coming into the room. Luckily, Colby appears and gets on the floor instantly next to me. He grabs my face to make me look at him to calm me down.
"Breathe, slowly.", he breaths along with me, showing me the rhythm i should follow. We breathe in sync a few times and i calm down. My body shakes uncontrollably when he helps me get up from the floor. Colby hugs me tightly, as trying to stop me from shaking. My eyes are teary, but no tears fall on my cheeks. He rests his chin on top of my head and buries my face in his chest. He caresses my hair and my back and i grip on his hoodie like someone's going to take him away from me now when i need him the most. "What happened?", he asks and i try to talk, but my mouth is numb and i feel like i can't speak. I take another deep breath, but i turn my head around to show him, instead of speaking. His eyes grow wide. "What the fuck? Let's get you out of here", he grabs the camera, i grab my phone and the spirit box and then grabs my hand to get me upstairs.
"Get Sam and Nate, i need a break", i let go of Colby's hand and rush to get outside the hospital. I sit on a big rock a few steps away from the building. I hear the door open behind me and jump from the rock, my body shaking again.
"It's me, I'm sorry i freaked you out", Colby raises his arms in defense mode. We both sit on rocks.
"Did you get them so quickly?", i ask surprised, my mouth still numb
"No, i wanted to check on you", he offers a lazy smile
"I'm as good as i can be in a moment like this. I'm sorry i messed up your investigation", i shake my head, disappointed in me
"Never apologise for that. Who knows what would've happened to you if you didn't get out of there", Colby says in a grave voice. "I'm so stupid for putting you in this position, i am so sorry, y /n", he shakes his head and comes closer to me on another rock and sode hugs me, his arm around my shoulders. He brings me closer to his chest and i inhale the so familiar scent of his cologne and clothes.
"I want to come to more investigations with you, if you still want me to", i say and let go from his side hug. He still keeps his hand on the small of my back, as a comfort gesture.
"We would love to, you were great", Colby smiles and i take a moment to memorise his face in this moment. Big, proud smile, rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes. I smile back at him and give him a proper hug.
"You're the best"
"You had to find someone to match you"

Nate’s little sister x ….sturniolo
A/N: if you don’t get who miles is. It’s gonna all make sense next chapter. I hope u guys enjoy this series though 😪😪
Warnings: swearing,not proof read, angst, anxiety, panic attack, (ish?) crying, Uhmm idk.
Summary: y/n and Nathan get assigned to a new family, a whole new life, and more. This is just the beginning of her new school and love life. Y/n (isla) gets asked on a date by one of the most popular guys in school. But something seems off. Isla isn’t popular and they barely talk. Why would miles as her out?
“Y/n, y/n!” My older brother yells to me from the driver seat and my eyes flutter open.
“the fu.. yeah?” I whisper rubbing my eyes and sitting up pushing my hood down. “We’re here dumbass.” Nate grumbles.
My eyes shoot to the center console of the radio and is see the time says ‘8:32 AM.’ I let out a yawn and start to pull my blanket off and put my shoes on.
“Veno called before you fell asleep. He was giving us the ‘ground rules’ as he called it. It was basically dont fuck with the enemies blah blah blah.’ Just the usual mission.” I nod my head as Nate talks and I look around as we pull into a small house driveway.
“So before we go inside, we have to fucking change our identity apparently which is fucking stupid but whatever, and we’re getting like assigned with a bitch ass family.” He grumbles and I lean forward to look at him. “You’re joking.” I yell and roll my eyes.
“I’m not happy about it either.” Nate yells back taking out files for us. “Y/n Doe.” The first file reads. Nate hands it to me and I slowly remove the paper clip and open the file.
“Isla Tellangelo.” I read out loud. And scan over the file.
Favorite color: purple.
Sports: lacrosse, basketball, volleyball.
Friends: any.
School: Somerville high.
Parents: Angelina tellengelo and Ryan tellengelo.
“What is this? The fucking witness protection?” I say jokingly and Nate pauses.
“Um.. kinda? But with drugs..? I don’t know.” Nate mumbles closing the file and clipping it back together and I follow suit.
“I’m Justin tellengelo.” Nate reads out loud and looks at me with a smirk. “Remember don’t call me Nate, Nathan, natty, or anything.” He reminds me and I roll my eyes and nod.
-
A whole day of moving in, getting a new family, a new house, new everything. I’m fucking exhausted.
I plop down on my purple comforter bed and pull out my phone. What the fuck.
“JUSTIN.” I yell running to his room. “Why the fuck is my phone reset?!” I yell.
“Holy fuck- calm your tits. Everyone’s phone got reset. Even me and our parents. Relax.” Nate reassured me and I roll my eyes.
I re put in my old information but it denies it. “The hell?” I whisper under my breath.
“New identity dumbass.” Nate whispers and I literally want to punch him across the fucking face.
-
A few days go by and this school is actually kind of ass. I haven’t been paying attention in class, which isn’t new but I’ve gotten sent to the dean already for not ‘doing’ the work even though it makes no sense.
There was this guy next to me when I got sent to the office. I don’t know who it was because he had a hoodie on with a hood over his head. I swear I’ve seen the sweatpants before though.
‘Fresh Love’ it read on the side of the pants. It sounds so familiar but I’m probably just going crazy.
“Mr. S. Let’s go.” The dean said when he walked out of the office pointing to the boy next to me.
-
I swear it’s been like an hour I’ve been waiting out here but oh well.
I hear the door open and my
Head turns to the deans office. The boy walks out holding a blue paper in his hands. He scoffed as he walked out and out the small hallway.
“HOOD. OFF” the dean yelled and the boy smacked it off his head. “Mrs. L?” The dean says walking out and pointing to me.
My heart race picks up and I slowly walk into his office closing the door behind me. I sit down on the chair across from his table and my leg starts to bounce from my anxiety.
“Alright mrs tellengelo. Why didn’t you do your work?” He questions me and i swallow. “I-it was t-too hard and I didn’t get it..” I whisper feeling anxious im gonna get in really big trouble.
“Alright. Well i understand you’re new but.. that isn’t an excuse. You should’ve asked for help or something.” I nod and start to feel my breath pick up and emotions get the best of me.
I’ve never been like this before.
He keeps talking to me and unexpectedly start to cry. The dean glances up at me and sighs.
“Alright, stand up.” He orders and i shakily stand up. “Come with me.” He mumbles and walks me down a hallway to a door with a metal sign hanging from it that says ‘counselor McNeil’
“Excuse me?” The dean says opening the door to be met with mrs McNeil and a boy with a black hoodie and pink sweatpants.
-
Im sitting in the guidance counselors office next to this boy and I’ve been here about ten minutes. He has his face in his hand and his elbow resting against the armrest nearest to me.
The room is silent and I’m just sitting there sniffling and trying to calm myself down. “Here, try this.” The boy next to me breaks the silence and hands me the stress ball that was in his hand, gently brushing against the tips of my fingers.
“Th-thanks.” I whisper and sniffle before looking up to him and smiling. He smiles back. I squeeze the ball in my hand and then take a breath.
“I have panic attacks all the time, just try to find 5 things around the room, name them, spell, them and thing about what they feel like.” The boy next to me suggests.
Mrs McNeil looks up and raises an eyebrow.
“Wow, Miles using you’re knowledge to help someone else? This is new.” She calls him out and it makes me laugh a little as his face turns red with embarrassment.
“I-well—yeah.” Matt stutters his leg starting to bounce a little bit and he fidgets with his fingers.
I notice and throw the ball back to him and he smiles. “I think I can go back to class now.” I whisper and sniff one last time.
“You sure, mrs. T?” The counselor asks me and I nod gently smiling before fixing my shirt and leggings as I stand up.
I turn around and I could’ve seen the boy smirk and wink at me as I turn.
I get a butterfly feeling in my stomach and my cheeks turn bright red as I realize how cute and sweet he seemed.
-
A few weeks go by and it’s been getting better. I’m on the boys and girls mixed lacrosse team and the girls basket ball team. I’ve made a few friends and started to really like this one boy. I think his name is Miles. He’s on my lacrosse and I’m the goalie and he protects me a lot since I’m the only girl.
“Isla!” My friend Sydney calls out to me as she sees me walking out the women’s locker room. I turn my head. “I saw that Miles guy you’re talking to and his brother kept on talking about you. He didn’t see me, I was kind of eaves dropping.. but I think he likes you!” Isla screams across the hallway. “Sydney shut up!” I yell giggling as she catches up with me.
“Sorry, sorry forgot. Pineapple. Anyways- he’s sooo cute and I think their twins! They look the same!” Sydney whispers
“Actually triplets.” Some guy comes up saying and smirking at us. I have no idea who it is because he has a helmet on but I can see the faint line of a tattoo on his wrist.
Miles..
“Sydney! You were talking so loud!” I yell and she giggles before running the other way as I laugh and walk onto the field.
After our practice I’m taking off my helmet and mouth guard as Miles and his brother come up to me.
“Hey, I’ve been seeing you for the past few weeks, I was wondering if you wanted to..go out with me? I think you’re absolutely gorgeous and hilarious.” Miles says making me smile.
“I-uh-I yeah- of course! I mean Uhm Yeah sure.” I stutter out and sigh. “I would love to go on a date with you.” I answer before he takes his phone out for us to exchange numbers.
I, of all people is going on a date. With Miles?..

neteyam te sully tseyk’itan x fem!reader
warning; age up neteyam (22), events on the stories happened after the war on metkayina, grammatical and spelling errors
author’s notes; Hello! This is my second series, I was supposed to write a lo’ak x metkayina series but decided to push it behind and make this first. This’ll have a spoilers for the lo’ak series but not that much.
Feebacks + reblogs with tags are appreciated!🤍
Prologue
With the advances of the sky people they are now also able to produce a avatar that looks like from the people of metkayina. It was a project that they were planning from the start upon discovering a new type of specie in Pandora. Several people have participated and have given their DNA, you were one of it. Not like you know, it was your parents plan. RDA offered big amount of money and your parents badly needed it. Force by it you have no other choice but abide to them. Now you’re off to a planet that you have always known only through the news and articles. What awaits for you in there?
Chapter 1 | The Pandora
The school bell rang hinting that it’s time for you teacher that have been blubbering their mouth even though no one is listening. Immediately packing your things, you made your way out and there you saw your friends waiting for you.
“Finally! Let’s go grab some pizza!”
You’re friend Nate said ushering you and the others to hurry up, you rolled your eyes and smack him on the head.
“We are supposed to meet those government people, remember?”
You said making the boy in front of you frown.
“Still it is a surprise you agreed so willingly..”
Fara the other female on your friend group said and you shake your head letting out a sigh as you start walking ahead of them.
“What am I supposed to do? Both of them are so hardheaded.”
Nate and Fara just pat your shoulder as the three of you got inside your car. Those men in black told your group to meet them at their company. The reason of Nate on why his also in this, it’s because his family badly need the money and for Fara she doesn’t really need the money.
She’s going because she doesn’t want to lose you. You guys have been friends for so long plus she doesn’t have any family left.
When you got there, the three of you are amaze to see how big and tall the building is. Going inside you notice that there’s not that many people, you went to the front desk and told the woman in charge that Parker Selfridge wants to meet you, Nate and Fara
“This way please”
The woman guided you and when all of you got on the elevator, it was dead silence that one tiny movement will be heard. You look at Nate and his just scrolling on his phone while Fara is scribbling something on her notebook. You shuffled on your pocket and found the bracelet that is broken which you always carry, it belong to Mira. Your friend. Who was killed when her house was raid all because her father smuggled some drugs. She loved Pandora, always telling you how she always wish to be born there.
She loved that planet more than her life in here, some call her freak for that but she didn’t pay any attention. She wish to witness in her own eyes the scenery in there. Sadly she died in the most painful way, you remembered how you blame her father, he never loved Mira. How many times have your friend called just because her father is beating her up?
You can’t count it.
“We’re here”
Brought back from your thoughts you saw a man sitting inside the office, the entire floor is his office.
“Oh finally! Come, let’s get you three see your avatars.”
The three of you exchange looks
“No dilly dally!”
You guys ran up to him and followed him inside a room and it was full of holograms, you recognize this. It’s Pandora. Parker walk through a hologram and press something and you’re on full view of species you saw on the news. Instead of blue it’s more of sky blue. Two females and one male.
“That is your avatar. They are different from the ones we have made, with our technologies and intelligent scientist we have manage to make a avatar in the form of Metkayina. Take note, we used to make avatars with five fingers, similar to what our hands look like. But that, it has four fingers. Making it look like full na’vi.”
Parker exclaimed you heard Nate and basing on his voice his excited. Fara on the other hand is feeling more nervous.
“Na’vi?” Fara ask
“That’s the civilization living on the Pandora. This man..” Parker press a button and someone appeared
“I know this man..”
You uttered and remembering it correctly he once appeared on a article you were reading and it said he was once a human but now he turned to a full na’vi.
“Jake Sully. I know you guys are familiar with his name, the traitor of the human race.”
You really didn’t like how he said that but you kept it to yourself, you listen to what he says and have learned that tomorrow you guys will begin your journey to Pandora. It will take 6 years to arrive and you will be kept in a cryosleep, it will not make you age. So technically, you are leaving the earth 22 years old and will still be 22 when you arrive but you’re technically 28.
“Once you get there, you will be kept on the base for months not too far from the Awa’atlu where Jake Sully is said to be living now. You will need to be used to your avatar body by the time you’ll be send to spy on the clan.”
Parker said then he turn around and face the three of you, you felt Fara’s fingers gripping on your shirt sensing how nervous she is, you held her hand to help her calm.
“Now, I hope the three of you are more smart than Jake. Don’t ever betray the mankind.”
+ timeskip 6 years, where they are already entering the Pandora +
Like being woken up from a deep slumber you let out a groan when you felt yourself getting pulled away from something or more like where you are laying is being pulled. Blinking twice before your sight gets clearer your jaw drop at how many people are there on this ship, you saw Nate and Fara just getting out of the capsule you were just in and the two of them also had the same reaction.
“People who agreed to take part of avatar simulation, please come here!”
A normal reaction for a person who have gone to space should be full of excitement but you can’t seem to get yourself to be excited.
“Fara! Nate!”
You called their attention and they immediately move their body towards where you are and the three of you look at each other before laughing. If you remember correctly, the three of you spent your last days on Earth eating and drinking everything you can consume, knowing full well that you won’t be able to taste it anymore.
“Last call for the people who agreed to take part on the project!”
“Come!”
Nate exclaimed and all of you immediately went to the woman you also notice it’s mostly people around your age. A door opened and you saw that you guys can walk and not just float around. You nodded to Fara and the two of you entered the room. After everyone else got inside, the door shut down and you are now in a room of six.
“I take it that everyone of you knows what you signed up for. This is not a kid’s game or so whatever. All of you needs to take this seriously.”
You nodded and so did everyone making the woman before you to continue
“The six of you will be sign to be spread out on different clans of metkayina-“
“Wait what?!” One person exclaimed and the woman glared at them
“Obviously you didn’t read the manual that was sent ahead of time before you traveled here.”
Biting your lower lip, you glance at Fara who appears to be more nervous than ever but you saw how Nate wrap his arm around her shoulders making you sigh in relief. He knows enough how to calm Fara.
“As I was saying, you will be spread out throughout different clans and when you get there. You only have to say you were from ‘Ta’unui’ it is one of the clans we have took over.
She proceed to show a video on a screen where the soldiers destroyed their home, your eyes darted at the date below and it already has happened many years ago. Then the next clip showed how the humans built their own camp and guessing by it, you and the others will be staying for months.
“Now, change your clothes and ready for the insertion to Pandora.”
Looking out from the window, you can see the planet Pandora. It look very much like the Earth except it is not dying. You felt sick knowing you’ll be a part of the cause of it’s destruction. If only you are strong enough to talk back to your parents.
*flashback to the day you were informed*
“Mom, who’s this men?”
Sitting down at your living room, there are 6 men and all of them are carrying a brief case. Your eyes almost got out of your eye socket when you saw the money. Your parents squealed in happiness.
“You should inform your daughter. Along with the money, here’s a manual on what she would need to learn. She must learn the na’vi language before going to Pandora.”
Your head snapped to where the voice came from and you turn again to face your parents and the two of them look at you. No, they are glaring at you. After sending the men out, your mother throw the manual at you.
“Learn that. Be useful for once in your life.”
You scan the pages and you felt your self crumbling, you heard about the RDA Company searching for people who wants to volunteer to take part of their project. Another test drive for their newly invent avatars.
“Did you two decide this? Why..”
You heard your father scoff before taking a sip of his coffee
“What? You’re our child. We get to decide what’s good for you.”
“Good for me? Really? Because to me it is more like good for the both of you! How can you do this?! Do you even care for what I feel?!”
Your mother went up to you and slap you across your face
“What are you bitching around? Didn’t you always wanted to be there? Together with your freak friend? Oh wait, you’re the only one who can witness it now!”
Your blood boil at what your mother said and glared hard at her before storming off. You have always known that something’s wrong when you saw pamphlet of RDA laying on your house. But to think they will go this far.. you hit the steering wheel of your car before driving off. Maybe this is a good sign too.. because finally you are away from them.
*flashback end*
“Welcome to Beach Camp!”
Ironic.
You thought as the ship you were in landed. Grabbing your mask, you put it on and walk towards the exit as it opens, a strong gust of wind engulf you that it almost made you fall down. Shielding yourself from the intense light, you slowly adjust your eyesight and your mouth agape seeing the tall building.
Looking to your side, you saw the avatars the same one you saw back on the office. You heard the leader telling everyone to follow so you did. Getting inside the building, more like it is a camp. The six of you are already assigned to your rooms and you can’t never been more happy that you are with Fara.
“After settling your things down, go to Hilarch Building. There you’ll try out your avatar.”
The woman closes the door and you immediately throw yourself at the bed and let out a sigh. You fet the side of you sank, looking up you saw Fara hugging her self.
“I’m scared Y/N… this is a whole new world to me. To us.”
You got up and hug her close to you
“Hey, me and Nate is here okay? The three of us will stick together. I’ll try convincing them to let us three be together.”
You said trying to assure her, you cup her cheeks and she relaxes to your touch. Nodding her head she excuse her self so she can start unpacking her things, you did the same and when the two of you are done. You got out from your room and walk towards the Hilarch Building, when you entered you removed your mask since it is safe now to breathe the air in here.
You saw the other people that were with you, you held Fara’s hands as you both walk inside. There are six link pods and you squeeze her hand.
You felt somebody tap your shoulder, looking behind you saw Nate smiling at the two of you.
“Goodluck to us.”
“Yeah, goodluck to us.”
You said before laying down on the link pod. The door closes and you did your best not to panick. Remembering the words the people have told you, you close your eyes and forces yourself to sleep.
“Transfer complete. She’s waking up.“
“Pulse is good, heart beat is stable. She just opened her eyes!”
Groaning out, you bring your hand towards your face but your eyes widen seeing it only has four fingers. Getting up you saw the people below you. Wait, below?
You got up and shove one on the side as you stare at the mirror before you. Long black hair, blue eyes, teal green or aquamarine colored skin.
“Is this me?”
You uttered and you touch everything you can. Starting from your face down to your waist. Your eyes darted at the tail swaying behind you, making you giggle as you try turn to take a good look at it.
“Okay okay, I know you’re excited and can’t wait but let’s check everything first, alright?”
Finally listening to your surroundings, you sat back down and the scientists have began to their work. After some minutes of checking they finally let you go, a woman guide you to a locker room. Big enough to you size and your jaw drop seeing two people you definitely know who.
“Fara? Nate?”
The two of them stop talking to one another and turn to look at you, it took them two seconds to recognize you and took big steps towards you.
“Y/N!”
“Fara! Nate!”
The three of you hug and begann squealing, it ended up with a laughter then you decided to change from your white hospital dress to a white tank top and black shorts.
“Crazy how they made clothes that fits to our avatars size!”
Fara said heing mesmerized as she chose a gray loose shirt and long pants while Nate chooses a black tank top pairing it with khaki shorts. After changing, the three of you got out and saw the others already playing.
“Gather around guys!”
Lucia, the head of the very very first people to accept this project. If you count you are up to 14 avatars, including those who have been here long before you. Also, today marks the start of your training
“Your forms are very similar to metkayina. You might be wondering why they look different to the forest na’vi, the ones you have known throughout your life”
She began talking as she walk around infront of you
“The metkayina people live by the sea, their bodies have adapt to the water in order to survive. Now, all of you also have to get used to their daily life.”
She stop in front of you then averted her gaze to the others, she pointed at her side and you followed it. You saw something in the water, swimming.
“Those are called ilu’s. Metkayina people rides them in order to travel faster under water. We’ll show you how to ride them in the next few days, for now we’ll teach you how to take longer breaths.”
You are more excited to ride the ilu but you know better than to break the rules. Lucia began to group you up and luckily you are with Nate and Fara
“The three of you follow me”
Lucia got your attention as you follow her towards the big rock in the middle of the water. The wall circling the camp is quite big that it occupies a certain amount of the sea.
She dive right into the water and when she resurfaced again, she signaled you to follow her.
“Well? Let’s enjoy ourselves! Woohhooo!!”
Nate shouted before running and diving into the water and he let out a cheer once his back up, you held Fara’s hands and the both of you ran.
You felt the water engulfing your body and when you opened your eyes, you couldn’t help but be mesmerized at the scenery before you. At your peripheral vision, Fara pointed at something and you saw Lucia urging you to follow her
When you got to the rock, she’s already sat down waiting for all of you. You sat down not too far from her then followed by Nate and Fara.
“How old are you ahmm miss Lucia?”
You smack Nate and he look at you with a shock expression
“What?!”
“That’s not a question you ask a woman!”
He scoff and crosses his arms, Lucia can only let out a soft chuckle
“I’m 30 years old, I was 19 when they took me here.”
“Took?”
Fara couldn’t help but ask because the word ‘took’ sounds weird to her. Lucia just smiled at the three of you then divert the topic, teaching you how to breath. She said this is how the metkayina manage to be under water for how long as they want.
You guys only stop when it’s time to eat and immediately goes back to learning. When it was night time, a specific room was assign only for the avatars where they are kept safe.
You opened your eyes once more and you are back to your human body, you stretch out your arms and body as you got out from the link pod.
“Go back to your rooms. Your activity today will resume tomorrow.”
The woman said and handed you your mask, nodding as a response you grab it and waited for Fara and Nate, once they are out from the pod the three of you put on your mask and walk back towards your room. Nate bid his goodbye since his room is on the other side.
“I like Lucia”
Fara blurted out once she’s comfortable to her bed, you look at her and a smile appeared on your lips. Remember how she gave off the feeling of being a older sister.
+++++
Want to be tag for the next one? Just comment down! Don’t forget to like!
“Me too..”
You said before drifting off to sleep, excited for tomorrow’s events.

Adult dreams.
Seth Borden x Fem! Reader x Nate Hardy
Unedited
**********************************************
Her heart was racing as Lilly looked at the old Harriette Manor from the car as everyone unpacked and got set up.
She looked at every small detail and thought the house itself was gorgeous but something about it made her shrink in her seat.
Suddenly the door beside her open.
Someone tapped her shoulder causing her to jump.
"Sorry.
You ok?" Seth said as their eyes met.
"Yeah.
Just a little freaked out" she said.
"I can drive you home if this is all too much" he said.
"Hey the tour guide just got here" Nate walked to Seth.
"Sweet.
Hey I might be a little late.
Lilly isn't sure about all this" Seth said.
Nate's face softened as he looked at her.
"I'm ok Seth" she said.
"It shouldn't be too bad.
This place is pretty tame compared to other locations" Nate said as he smiled softly at her causing her face to heat up.
"Yeah im just getting weird vibes.
You don't mind if I cling to the both of you right?" she asked.
"Not at all" Nate said with a smirk.
"Yeah it's fine.
Remember my offer still stands" Seth said.
She smiled before getting out of the car.
"Hey, you alright?" Colby asked.
"Yeah" she said.
Lilly never went to haunted locations with her friends.
She was invited as Sam was out of town and she was good with cameras.
She didn't mind though as she knew that nothing was keeping her here if things got too overwhelming.
Nate put his arm around her shoulder as they filmed the intro to Colby's video.
She blushed as he pulled her close.
She tried not to show her attraction to Nate and Seth as one slip up and it would be plastered everywhere.
They were her best friends but deep down she wanted more then that with both of them.
Once the into was filmed they walked into the house.
Lilly was blown away from how beautiful and preserved it was.
"Hello everyone.
Welcome to Harriette Manor" the guide said as she walked into the room.
She was a middle-aged woman and seemed very kind and calm.
"Hey im Colby.
This is Seth, Nate and Lilly" Colby said.
"Nice to meet you" the guide said.
"Do you mind being on camera?" Seth asked.
"Not at all.
We get a lot of YouTubers here" she said.
"So what's the backstory of this place?" Nate asked.
"Well it was built by Ignis Harriette after his parents mysteriously disappeared.
See once they were missing her got all of their riches and everything so he built this and filed it with women of the night and the upper-class.
He was quite the ladies man as well.
He was charismatic and kind which at that time was the two qualities you would want in a husband.
He had three wives in his youth.
Each of them was gifted with the best of the best and after they had fallen for his charm he would then do some rather questionable things.
He would tie them up in bed for hours and use a very strong aphrodisiac on them so they physically begged him to help them.
He was what you would call dominant but he was also very sadistic.
He would cut them and cause them a lot of pain but because he used an aphrodisiac they would let him.
But then tragically one-night Ignis and his current wife went missing and years later they were found buried in the garden in pieces.
So a lot of things happened here and not many of them were good" the guide said.
"He drugged them?" Lilly asked.
"We think so" the guide said.
"Have you ever experienced anything here?" Seth asked.
"I haven't but a lot of our guests do.
I've lived here for seven years now with my husband and the ghosts leave me alone when he's around" the guide said.
"What kind of things did they experience?" Lilly asked.
"Well it was more the female guests.
The men usually see and feel spirits.
You'll get a lot of Ignis trying to mess with you tonight but for our female guests they report being touched usually around your waist but it can be anywhere and the one thing you need to pay attention tonight.
We've had a lot of female guests that sleep in the upstairs master bedroom.
The covers get ripped off, they feel something beside them or watching them and the one thing you don't hear a lot about.
You will be at risk of more adult dreams so pay attention to that" the guide said.
"How often does that happen?" Lilly asked.
"It's our most reported occurrence.
Women that come here experience a lot of things that Ignis would do to his wives.
When you're walking around he will touch you and usually like I said it's the waist of other more innocent places but other times it's not like that so I recommend keeping these three close as Ignis won't do that unless you are alone" the guide said.
"Don't worry we'll protect you" Colby said.
Lilly looked at the guide as she struggled to believe what she was hearing.
"I've been to a few haunted locations but they've never been like this" Lilly said.
"You don't have to do this" Colby said.
"It's ok.
I'm curious now.
A little worried but if these things do happen it would be cool I guess to see if they really do happen" she said as she leaned into Nate slightly as her heart pounded in her chest.
She was curious, yes but she was still scared.
Hours passed as Lilly sat in the living room in the Manor as Colby set up in the basement.
She kept thinking about what the guide said and thought about if she should annoy the spirits when she was most likely there target.
Suddenly Nate walked into the room.
"Hey you coming?" he asked.
"Yeah im just thinking" she said.
"You ok?" he asked as he walked to her.
"I think im going to miss out on what you all are planning and go to sleep early.
It just makes me nervous" she said.
Nate sat next to her "No ones forcing you.
If you want I could join you so you feel a little more safe" he said.
She looked at him.
"Thanks but im ok.
I know where you'll be just in case" she said.
"I'll tell Colby and Seth.
Sleep well" he said.
Lilly smiled at him as she looked into his angelic eyes.
"Thanks Nate," she said before walking to the only spare bedroom.
The master bedroom.
She felt uneasy but the other two free rooms weren't safe enough and the third was the boy's room whenever they decided to sleep.
She got changed into a baggy shirt before getting into bed.
The bed wasn't the best but the sheets were soft and the room was surprisingly warm.
She went on her phone for an hour before drifting off.
*******
Lilly cuddled into the sheets before groaning as she felt something get into bed with her.
She fluttered her eyes open to see Seth.
She jumped "Sorry.
We're done for the night are we wanted to check on you" Seth said.
Lilly looked around before seeing Nate in the doorway.
"I'm ok.
This bed is surprisingly comfy.
Did you guys find anything?" she asked.
"Yeah.
It was awesome.
Wish you could have joined us though" he said before brushing through her hair with his fingers.
She let out a sigh before looking at him.
"Don't get ahead of yourself" Nate said as he stood on the other side of her before placing his hand on her stomach.
"What are you doing?" she asked.
"We wanted to give you what you've wanted for a while.
We know you like us angel" Nate whispered into her ear giving her chills.
"I'm sorry.
I thought it wasn't that obvious" she said.
"It was.
I can see when you blush from a simple glance or touch and when you rub your thighs together when we're around you" Seth said before kissing her forehead "We know you touch yourself while pretending it's our fingers in your pretty pussy darling" Seth whispered.
"I never..." she said.
"Don't lie angel.
We know" Nate said before kissing her causing her heart to nearly break her ribs from how fast it was pounding.
She broke from his as her face turned fully red.
"So beautiful.
Want us to fuck you angel?" Nate said.
She gulped before nodding "Words love" Seth said.
"Yes" she said.
Seth chuckled darkly before kissing her.
He was softer than Nate but more passionate.
Nate tore her baggy shirt before squeezing her breasts feeling her lacy bra.
She whimpered into the kiss before breaking from Seth.
Seth began to kiss her neck as Nate tore her bra releasing her breasts.
Nate then took one of her breasts into his mouth causing her to gasp.
Seth stopped kissing her neck before taking her other breast into his mouth causing her back to arch.
It was overwhelming but euphoric.
She let out a moan as she grabbed the bed.
Nate slid a hand down her body before slipping her hand into her panties.
He looked at her "Open your legs" he said before licking her nipple.
She opened her legs as far as she thought they would go before moaning as Nate slipped two fingers inside her causing a slight burn to surround her dripping entrance.
"You're so tight" he said before kissing her.
She then threw her head back as he curled his fingers causing him to hit the spot inside her that made her see stars.
"That's it.
Lat it swallow you" Nate said.
"Beautiful" Seth as he took off her panties before rubbing her clit causing her eyes to roll back.
She had never felt anything so amazing.
Lilly could feel her abdomen warm up as she got closer and closer to her release.
Her eyes filled with tears as Seth and Nate watched her.
"I'm gonna," she said before moaning loudly as the pleasure got more intense.
She then screamed out as her whole body began to shake.
"Good girl"
******
Lilly shot up as she panted.
She looked around before rubbing her face.
She had never had a dream that intense.
It felt so real that she questioned if she was reliving a memory.
She got out of bed before walking into the bathroom.
She looked in the mirror before washing her face.
It was just a dream.
She walked back to the bed before questioning if she should really test if the ghosts could mess with her again.
Lilly put on some leggings better walking across the hallway to the boy's room.
She knocked on the door hoping one of them was inside.
Lilly then felt her heart stop as Nate opened the door.
"What's wrong?" he asked.
She blushed at his half asleep appearance.
It was four in the morning and she didn't even realise.
"I can't sleep" she said.
"Come in" he said before shutting the door.
"Can't sleep?" Colby asked as he sat in bed on his laptop.
She nodded as Seth continued to sleep.
Lilly got into the largest bed in the room with Seth and Nate as Colby would only cause her to stay awake until six.
Nate got into bed behind her as her heart pounded.
Her mind wandered to a place where that dream laid as Nate wrapped his arms around her causing her to melt.
All that dream did was make her realise how much she wished it was reality.

My love, I come with a request 🧎‍♀️I humbly ask for some more protective dad!Timo, similar to that blurb of him at Lio’s chippy game…maybe this time Lio is a little younger but obviously everyone can tell he’s going to be a star…and that he’s the son of THE Timo Meier. The opposing team that is having a hard time keeping up and the only way they can think of having a chance is sending out their enforcer after him… Timo is there and parents are yelling, kids are fighting… 🤝 🍻
I am loving our Timo day RN. Yes! Of Course! So this happens when he is in the NHL, but yes, let's explore this when Lio is much younger.
Timo, Liv and I are all watching Lio’s tournament game. The twins are with Lexi and Nico because they’re too wild to sit through a hockey game right now. Lio is playing up in this tournament with U12 kids because of his skill level. However, this tournament has international competition in it, including some big kids on the other team from Canada. I am admittedly nervous and spend the first ten minutes of the game clutching my necklace.
A frown tugs the corners of my mouth down before I glance at Timo who sits with his arms crossed over his chest. There is an opposing player, number 14, that keeps getting very close to checking Lio. He keeps rubbing him out into the boards, keeping it borderline enough to not warrant a call. This latest one is well before Lio got to the puck though.
“How is that not interference?” I mutter to my husband. Timo shakes his head in annoyance.
“I don’t know. Cause this ref is fucking blind.”
“Bad word.” Liv says from where she is coloring between Timo’s feet on the bench below us. Timo looks at the top of her head, then at me. I purse my lips against a laugh, returning my attention to the ice.
Three more interactions happen with this player and Lio before the period ends. 
“Good job, Ben!” A man hollers down. “Show that kid who is boss.” His clapping is thunderous and I have a suspension he’s talking about the same player I’m getting frustrated with. I grab the tournament program, scanning the roster. Sure enough, number 14 is named Ben. I nudge Timo who looks down at the paper.
“Lio’s used to stuff like this. He is fine.” Timo insists, but he tightens his arms against his chest until his muscles balloon larger. His jaw is clenched and I can tell he is grinding his teeth.
“Mommy, can you braid my hair?” Liv asks.
“Sure.” I uncross my legs for her to sit between them. I comb her hair down her back, then split the hair into three sections. I’m just about finished when I hear a thud into the boards, then a gasp from my husband.
“What the fuck was that!” Timo screams next to me, jumping to his feet. I snap my head up, looking to where Lio is crumpled on the ice. Lio’s teammates begin to shove at number 14, his best friend, Nate, taking serious exception. Nate begins to shove at the player until he’s on the ice, then jumps on top of him to continue with his punches.
“Sweet!” Liv cheers, eyes wild with excitement. 
“Livia.” Timo scolds. She cowers down into a squat, still beaming at the ice. I grab Timo’s hand as we watch Lio struggle to a sitting position. The trainer and his coach are talking to him. He nods his head and the two adults help him to his feet. Lio skates off and sits on the bench, seemingly fine, but a little stunned. 
Timo and I are shocked when number14 doesn’t even get a penalty. Only Nate gets a penalty for roughing.
“No way.” I shake my head in disgust, feeling fear lodge into my chest. No consequences for this kid either? There is still half a game left to play and he’s been targeting Lio all game. 
“Awww he’s fine. What a pussy just like his dad. Should call him Nemo with the way he flopped.”
“What the fuck did you just say?” Timo bolts up, taking the bleachers two at a time to go after the man. “You’re real tough calling a nine year old a pussy, you old fuck.”
“Oh that is so many bad words.” Liv says seriously, eyes wide at Timo’s reaction. She suddenly looks very small and unsure, reaching for my arm.
“Ohmygod.” I mutter, clasping a hand on my forehead. Timo gets to the man and immediately knocks two hands in his chest to shove the guy backwards. The guy steps forward again to square up when he regains his balance.
“Timo!” I yelp, leaving my daughter behind to climb the bleachers after him. “No, absolutely not.” I grab at his jacket, trying to pull him away. Both their faces are so close together their noses are touching.
“Tell your kid to keep his head up.”
“Keep his head up?” I scoff, suddenly, snarling in disgust.
“Em. Go back and sit down. I’ve got this.”” Timo’s voice is dangerous.
“No, you need to come back with me and calm down.” I lean closer, switching to Swiss German so the man doesn’t understand. “You have everything to lose here. And our daughter is scared and Lio needs one of us to go down there and make sure he is okay.” 
“Hit me. Pussy.” The guy gloats over me speaking.
“T. No. Protect our family the right way.” I’m not sure if I have gotten through his red haze. HIs shoulders shake with heavy breaths while his nostrils flare. His blue gaze is molten and fierce for several more difficult seconds.
“I hope your son turns out to be a better man than you.” Timo finally says. My shoulders relax. The guy is stunned to silence. Timo grabs my hand and works us back down the bleachers to Liv. He picks her up into his lap. She buries her face into his chest. “You’re okay baby. I’m sorry. That was bad. Daddy lost his temper. I’m sorry.” He smooths her back over her jacket. “You okay?” He asks me. I nod my head. “Go check on Lio. I’ll stay here.”

Ted Lasso 3x01 - Episode Review
It's that time again!
For anyone who has yet to catch the s3 premiere, I'm posting my review under the cut. Are you ready Greyhounds? Let's go!
There's a lot to pack into 46 minutes, and boy does this episode pack a punch.
The episode opens with a close-up of a visibly anxious Ted at London Heathrow. He checks his phone - a text from Michelle - 'Have a safe flight! I love you!'
They know how to throw us for a loop. Is Ted leaving? Is this a flashback?
All is revealed. The text wasn't meant for Ted.
Henry is heading back to Kansas.
Not only is this a deeply personal and conflicting moment for Ted, it's a gut punch for anyone who's ever been in his position as a parent, as a partner, as someone away from home. Sooner or later, you start to wonder if you're doing the right thing.
From the outset, it's made clear that this is going to be one of the major themes of this season. One of the many things this show does well is the level of attention to detail. Everything connects. Everything means something.
The opening credits are darker. The color palette is more muted.
Change is afoot in our beloved Richmond.
We're in the dark forest.
It's jarring, because even though we see the team going on another one of Ted's classic unorthodox training adventures, even though there are laughs along the way, things feel different. A lot has happened in six weeks.
At the end of season 2, we knew there would be a focus on mental health with the irreplaceable (sorry Marcus Adebayo) Trent Crimm, independent, hoping to publish an article on the subject after Ted's very public panic attack.
At the beginning of season 3, Ted addresses his mental health in a press conference with self-deprecating humor that at times makes you feel a little uncomfortable. But it's supposed to - we're watching a man on the brink. Anyone who's suffered the same mental health struggles as Ted will recognize the walls he puts up. The facade of happiness. Behind every joke is a search for validation - confirmation that the world sees him the same way he sees himself, for better or for worse.
This is the most obvious and brutally honest depiction of mental health struggles we've seen in the show so far. We have more sympathy for, and a more visceral reaction to Ted's journey. This season is about facing demons, finding yourself and healing.
It isn't limited to just one character either - in the first episode alone, Rebecca, Roy, Keeley and Nate have their own demons to exorcise.
Rebecca is still haunted by Rupert, Keeley is suffering from burnout, Roy's insecurities are starting to show, and Nate's identity crisis has landed him in an abusive working environment.
Keeley tells Rebecca that she 'trust[s] in the universe'. But we start to get the feeling that the way things are working out will prove to be a case of right place, wrong time.
The journey s3 is taking us on is a much rockier road than previous seasons, but if we've learned anything from previous seasons, it's that we have to trust in the process. After all -
'it may not work out how you think it will, or how you hope it does, but believe me, it will all work out. Exactly as it's supposed to. Our job is to have zero expectations and just let go.'

Parent Trap Avalance Style Snippet
“Wow.” Laurel said as she looked at them side by side “I just never thought that you would both look so much alike.”
“It’s kind of creepy like little clones or something.” Nate said and both girls looked at him with the same angry face. “See that’s even worse seeing that side by side.” Nate adds and Laurel laughs. The girls just look at each other and both roll their eyes.
“So, what’s the plan?” Laurel asks
“We didn’t have a plan.” Angela replied and looked at Abby “Did you tell them we had a plan?”
“No.” Abby says
“What do you mean you don’t have a plan?” Nate says. “You swapped places and you had no plan to tell either parent about it? What were you guys just going to live each other’s lives?”
“No, I told you we were going to talk at school.” Abby said watching as Laurel and Nate just looked at each other in shock.
“So, you switched places and then you were going to talk at school?” Laurel repeats and Abby nods.
“We were going to figure out what to do at school. And swap back eventually.” Angela says.
“You guys are the grown-ups.” Abby says pointing at them “Help us make a plan.”
“Yeah, but we have a problem.” Angela says
“What’s that?” Nate asked
“Alex.” Angela replied
“Oh, crap I didn’t even think about her.” Laurel said and Nate looks at her.
“So, you didn’t think a plan about getting Ava and Sara back together would affect Sara’s current girlfriend?” Nate asked and Laurel shrugged
“She lives in Central City, and honestly I’ve never been a big fan of hers.” Laurel says.
“What?” Abby asks, “You said you liked her.”
“I said that because your mom was standing right there, I couldn’t say I didn’t like her right in front of Sara.”
“Why not?” Angela asked Laurel looked at Angela
“Because that’s mean, well it would have been mean.” Laurel added
“Well, I don’t like Alex and you know I don’t.” Abby said pointing at Laurel
“I know.” Laurel said and started to laugh causing Abby to look at her confused. “You’re sister threw up on her…. Twice.” Laurel couldn’t help but laugh harder as the words came out.
“You what?” Abby said looking at Angela who looked embarrassed.
“I have never been to a carnival, ok?” Angela said shaking her head. “I may have eaten too many corndogs.”
“You went to the carnival without me?” Abby asked looking at Laurel who started to shake her finger at Abby.
“Nope, you don’t get to do that. I thought YOU, were with us.” Laurel said pointing at Angela.
“Trust me I don’t want to go again, and she was definitely mad when it happened. I mean she didn’t even stay she left and went back to Central City that night.” Angela said.
“Okay so what I am hearing is…That Alex doesn’t live here which means we can use that to our advantage.” Nate said as he moved to sit on the bench. “Okay so first we need to swap you back.” Nate said both girls protested.
“No way I want more time with mom.” Abby said looking at Angela
“And I want more time with Mommy.” Angela added as they both looked over at Laurel and Nate.
“Okay so we wait to swap, you’re both sure about that?” Nate asks and both nod.
“Okay so now we have to figure out how to get them in the same room.” Laurel said pacing back and forth.
“Don’t you work with Ava?” Nate asked looking at Laurel
“No, we work in different buildings I’ve seen her from afar but kept my distance.” Laurel said
“Well stop keeping your distance.” Nate said standing up “We need to set a fly trap.” Laurel looked at him and raised her eyebrows.
“I…okay what?” Laurel asked.
“Okay it something that gets the flies attention and then they cant stop flying around it because its all they want and then they are stuck.” Nate said smushing his hands together.
“That’s a horrible analogy. Don’t ever use that again for anything, like ever.” Laurel said and turned to the girls. “Okay if we do this then you have to understand we have to live with the consequences of it. I can’t promise that it’s going it work out. But I will promise that I will stand up for the two of you being in each other lives and both your moms’ lives.” Laurel said and took a deep breath looking over at Nate “No more of this she has one and she has the other crap.” And Nate nods in agreement.

Tumblr media
Steve P.O.V
It’s been a month since Steve saw you. He went abroad for a while to meet with new potential company partners. 
But something unexpected happened; the rival company stole Steve's team proposal plan. The reason why the proposal leaked was his new secretary Peter. 
The night before the meeting, he met his old friend at the bar. It seems like his alcohol tolerance was pretty low and ended up with him spilling everything about the proposal. His old friend worked with the rival company and stole the plan. 
Because they lost their chance to expand the business, Steve won’t stop scolding his new secretary Peter, ��Even though he is your old friend, you shouldn’t tell him even just a tiny bit about the company's new proposal.”
Everyone outside the office could hear their boss scolding. They looked at Bucky for help to stop Steve and help Peter. 
Bucky received the help signal and went to Steve's office.
Knock, Knock!
Bucky's presence made Steve stop talking, but he still looked mad. He gave Peter a consoling look and gave a sign to him to leave the room. 
Peter bowed his head to Steve and left the room. Bucky told Steve, “You have to be chill, Steve; besides, we have discussed this with our investor and board member. They trust Steve's capability. 
Bucky tried to lift the mood by giving Steve something “Look what I’ve got.” He handed his best friend a cake box from his wife, Natasha. 
It got Steve's attention and made his face look bright. Because the cake box came from your bakery, looking at it made him sigh deeply. 
If these things happened months ago, he wouldn’t mind staying at the office to develop a new plan since he is a workaholic. But everything is changed since he met you. Steve looked up at the window, wondering what you were doing. 
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, at Dear Cake
Reader P.O.V
Inside the cafe, everything looks like usual, customers enjoying their food and drink while Toby works at the cashier. 
And at the bakery kitchen, Natasha is sitting behind one of the counters, watching you humming a song while making a new batch of cake.
“So, do you want to tell me who the person that made you keep singing (Y/N)?”
Her sudden question made you blush. "What…aat?"
"I've been trying to matchmaking you with my friend. Turned out I was too late."
You giggled, remembering the disastrous date you’ve been through before. "You know that I'm awkward with blind date."
“So, could you tell me more about your company party for this weekend?” You asked Natasha while looking through the desert list she requested. 
“Just a small gathering. The CEO of my company came up with this idea to appreciate employees' hard work. They could have fun, eat and drink all day.”
“That’s really nice. But I still think you work in a big company Nate.”
Natasha just winked at you while eating the berries. You always wondered about her, who was always full of mysteries. Even though you have been friends since boarding high school, you still can’t figure her out. 
You and Natasha lost contact almost ten years after attending different universities. You were studying abroad to follow your parents, who work as researchers, and Natasha is staying in the States. 
Even though you separated, she will always be your best friend. When you got burned out and betrayed from working at your former company, the first person that came to your mind to talk to was Natasha. 
Thanks to social media, you could contact her again. She was angry and livid hearing your stories. She said, 'It’s painful right now, but you could do whatever you want after this.’
‘What I want?’ You asked yourself that question and remembered always wanting to open your bakery and cafe. 
You told Natasha about the idea, and she fully supported it and said, “You made a hella out of cake back at our high school bazaar. It always sold out.”
That was good enough to build your confidence, and you appreciate her helping hand. Natasha gave you a good list of locations with a good price to open your bakery. 
While you recall the past, the kitchen door kicked, making you and Natasha look at the door. You thought it was Toby thinking his hand full of holding flour bags. That’s why he kicked the door.  
It turned out it was someone else—the person who made you quit your former job. With a smug smile, expensive clothes, and sting cologned, he walked towards you and said, "Nice to see you again (Y/N).”
.
.
.
At Dear Cake (same day but different time)
Steve P.O.V
Steve finally could step his foot at his favorite place once again. He wished that he could see your face even from afar. But his prayer isn’t answered because he only sees Toby at the cafe. 
He approaches Toby and notices something. Steve knew how to read someone's mood, and now he could feel that Toby was looking mad. 
“Hey Toby, you’re good?”
Toby looked surprised since it’s been a while since Steve didn’t appear. “Oh, Steve.” He sighed. “Well, there’s an annoying guest today. He completely ruined my day and (Y/N).”
Steve raised his eyebrows when he heard your name got included. Did the guest hurt you? He asked Toby, “Do you need any help?”
“I had it under control.”
Steve hummed. Since Toby doesn’t accept his offer, he will back down. Then his eyes look around for your presence. 
“What about you, Steve…?” Toby wants to ask Steve what he’s been doing, but it seems like he wants to see you.
‘He looking for (Y/N).’ Toby thought. “She went to buy ingredients; we got a big order next weekend.”
‘Seems like he couldn’t ask you out next weekend to his party.’ He thought. Steve looked at Toby, hiding his shyness. 'Was it obvious he’s looking for you? ' 
He couldn’t lie but felt disappointed. “Well, I guess I’ll see you both next week.”
“You don’t want to stay for a while?”
Steve shook his head. “No, I have to catch a flight.”
Five minutes after Steve left, the cafe door opened.
“Oh welcome back, your boyfriend was just here a few minutes ago.”
“You should’ve called me when he arrived.” You gritted your teeth while holding your annoyance with your brother. 
“If you didn’t go out, that person would keep bothering you. I was this close to hitting him,” said Toby. 
You never saw Toby this mad since he was always calm. You changed the topic and pointed at the grocery bags “Well, at least the ingredients for next weekend are completed.” 
Toby looked at the grocery bags and said, “Perhaps you could see Steve sooner.”
“Hmm, how do you know that?” You asked him while shaking his shoulder. While Toby inwardly screamed, seeing his sister being so dense.

Cass i need to know more about Kayla and Nate. How did they meet? How did they become friends? Your story looks really cool 👀
HI THANK YOU FOR ASKING
so I'm gonna do a character study for Nate first just cause I have another ask in my inbox about Kayla I'll do a character study for her there(this will have the story of them meeting and stories about the two of them I promise)
so you know that post that's like yes I am smart yes I am stupid it's called being flexible? that post was made for Nate. they are the biggest idiot on earth but also the smartest person ever.
(before this gets confusing he goes by he/they)
they are really involved in the conservation of nature and how the people of the land are driving the creatures in the land out (similar to how our environment is slowly being destroyed).
this is how he got to the Summit, through their advocacy work. most of it was about nature but there are also other issues they often work with. he is often chaotic and playful but when it comes to things they care about, he is very serious and attentive.
when he first heard the fae were back, before they understood the situation, he was excited that they were back because the magic creatures in the land have always fascinated them. he had only ever read about the fae. most of the books in the land are very negative towards them, but still the fae intrigued him.
so guess what the dumbass does he goes into the land the fae have captured. without a plan. unsurprisingly, he is taken captive almost immediately.
this would all be a flashback about halfway through the story, and how more information about the fae is learned. we see the fae's world through Nate's eyes. (ask me separately about the lives of the fae, it would be a very long post if i put it in this one) we also learn that Nate is more than just the amusing jokester he is on the surface. they have ✨️emotional trauma✨️
in all seriousness, this takes a very large toll on Nate mentally, as his instincts were wrong, as they so rarely are. they also learn that not everything is as it looks on the outside and how dangerous the world truly is.
backing up a bit, Kayla's town has been forming a defense team to attempt to keep the fae at bay. she joins because her family lives in the town too, and she desperately wants to keep them safe. on this specific day, on her patrol, she notices that the fae have advanced into more of the land. she calls for backup and gets clearance to lead a team into the fae's land to reclaim it.(complete contrast from nate)
the team overwhelmed the small amount of fae in the area and took back the land. Nate had been captured a few days prior, and he had not been taken further into their land, so Kayla was able to save him and about three other people who had been with them.
she could see that they were in bad shape, and being in the fae's world had only made it worse. the fae did not treat their prisoners bad, but they were not treated well either.
Kayla brought Nate home to her family, at first because she needed him to feel good and trust him in order to get information about the fae out of them, but then kept letting them stay because she saw who he was and started thinking of them as a friend. his parents were not fantastic people and certainly not able to help them through this, so Kayla's parents stepped in to help. after a while, he began to warm up to them and sort of recover.
this is how Nate and Kayla became friends. Nate owes their life to Kayla, but he's repaid it over the years. they've both grown since then, and they work together so well at the Summit.
They're simultaneously the chaotic best friends, judging best friends, and the best friends that are constantly yelling at each other. they've worked together for so long that now they work almost seamlessly together. one will start a sentence and won't even have to finish it. they have one of my favorite dynamics and I love them.
bonus: picrew of Nate in their Summit attire

Vent and PSA (tw: Grooming, incest, pedophilia)
Tonight i had a realization that I was groomed a year ago. The definition of grooming is an adult building a social/emotional relationship with a minor with the intention of exploiting/abusing them.
I always put off using the word “grooming” when thinking about how my groomer treated me. I was never forced to send nudes, i was never raped, hell she outright stated that she wasn’t attracted to me because I wasn’t biologically male (which is fucked on its own but i’ll get back to that), she even asked if she ever came off as if she *was* grooming me (and when I said yes, she attempted to give me a sob story because THIS FUCKING HAPPENED BEFORE but we’ll get back into that)
I didn’t have it as bad as other kids, so I wasn’t groomed. They were a simply just a toxic friend.
But here’s the thing, a groomer doesn’t need to be attracted to you to want something sexual from you.
They talked to me about their sex life a lot, their incestuous sex life. My memories are fuzzy i’ll admit, but she would talk about how she was dating her brother in law (someone, SHE STATES, was like a little brother to her) and her sexual feelings towards her siblings growing up and them projected that onto our Infinity Train rp.
Making an OC who had a crush on Simon but saw him as an older brother figure as well, (i should mention the OC was a minor) i’m happy we never got to Jesse and Nate reuniting in our rp.
But before some of you ignorant motherfuckers go “Oh, but they stopped what was happening in the rp once you said something” one, yes but they never stopped talking about their sex life irl and two YOU SHOULD KNOW RIGHT OFF THE BAT TO NEVER IMPLEMENT YOUR SEX ISSUES ONTO YOUR CARTOON RP WITH A THIRTEEN YEAR OLD.
I’m fully convinced she is a pedophile and would’ve been sexually attracted to me if i was biologically a young boy and that thought terrifies me
You don’t really think these things could happen to you. You’re smart, you know the signs, block them if they make you (as a minor) uncomfortable
Yet I didn’t even realize when she said I was “very mature for my age” or when she asked if she was coming off as a pedophile, It still boggles my mind to be honest. Hell I didn’t even listen to my closest friends who desperately tried convince me to get rid of her.
“I could never be manipulated,”
Its one thing reading about the signs, but being confronted by them is a whole other ballpark.
I vented to her about my parent’s divorce, my loneliness, my craving for *any* attention. It didn’t matter what she said to me because I was her #1 for a long time. Being someone’s #1 feels like everything fades away and that title is all that matters, being someone’s “best friend” quote on quote. And she took advantage of that.
So to all my young followers, an adult should *never* rely on you for anything, whatever it is. Adults should never talk about SEX with you, especially if they don’t stop when you ask them to.
And to Elena, if you’re still stalking my account, fuck you. No matter what sob story you pull out of your ass or mental gymnastics you try to pull in your mind, you *are* a groomer. Pedophile or not. Do not DM me, contact me about this or anything. You’ll get immediately blocked and i’ll @ your username where all hell will break loose for you. Suck a piss wet dick and fuck off.
To Tina and Jacks, I love you guys so much and the fact you guys stuck by me through that saved my life. Without you guys, I would probably still be with her and others, maybe even worse. You guys were so patient with me even when you knew what was happening and I wouldn’t listen. I would probably be dead if i never met you guys and you mean the world to me. Thank you and I love you from the bottom of my heart.
This is the only text I still have from our conversations, do with it what you will

As today is the last day of Pride Month I just wanted to say this Pride has felt the least like Pride for me. I've not even hardly been able to think about the fact that this month is for us in the lgbt+ community, for our visibility, for resistance to a world in which we aren't safely able to be fully ourselves.
I just wanna wish my fellows alongside me in our community a safe and good rest of the year. Never be ashamed to be yourself, you'll always have someone on your side. Happy pride ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

Hey yall! So idk how many of yall kno but I am an artist and I'm very much pushing my art these days. Call it a new years resolution call it passion or whatever you want but I'm very excited to say I'm finally putting the same love into my art as I've learned to put into myself.
With this I'd like to promote my Redbubble a little, I've put a few of my original designs on Redbubble and am very excited to show everyone what I can do!
I'd also like to say I've been in a very rough spot for the past year. I live with my fiance now and have been for almost a whole year at this point and its been amazing being with him, but we've been living a hotel the whole time, barely able to feed ourselves. Come the end of February we're going to be kicked out, and we don't have the money to move as Orlando is legit in the top three poorest cities in the United States and we cant drive. It's not been easy to keep a job because all of the restaurants are disgusting and pushing and stressing me way too far and being lousy managers and I just can't mentally handle that anymore. I'm looking for a new job as I just lost my job at Chipotle
It would mean the world to me and my fiance if yall could spread the word of my Redbubble and maybe buy some stickers or something!
Here's my Redbubble link!

Lowder Reviews: Yo-Kai Watch (2014) Episodes 1-3
I'm gonna taking a look at the first anime of Yo-Kai Watch but I'm gonna be watching the Japanese version instead of the English dub to see what is different. Warning: So for the first episode I'm gonna make my own summary but for all the others it's gonna be how the wiki describes the story of these episodes because it's probably gonna be hard for me to describe these episodes without missing important details. Warning: Opinions below.
Episode 1: "Yo-Kai are Real" and "The Spooky Intersection"
Plot summary: Nathan Adams(Keita Amano) encounters Whisper, a self-proclaimed "Yo-kai Butler", when he is catching stag beetles with friends. Whisper later gives Nate a watch that enables him to see Yo-kai when his parents are fighting over who ate the last treat and sees the Yo-kai, Dismarelda(Donyorinu)(a Yo-kai that causes the mood to be darken due to its gloomy aura), due to her husband not loving her but, eventually, her husband, Happiere(Honobono), appears and tells her how much he loves her, which causes the atmosphere Nate's parents to stop fighting. Nate finds unusual events happening at a crosswalk, and ends up meeting Jibanyan, a cat that had an owner but was runover by a truck, and Nate befriends the Yo-kai and gets a Yo-kai medal, a device that is a sign of friendship that allows someone with the Yo-kai Watch to summon Yo-kai by inserting it into the clock face of the watch.
My Thoughts: It was a good way to start the series because it served as an introduction to our main characters, it introduced characters that would appear again, it introduced us to what Yo-kai are and what they do. The faults of it were mostly things that would probably won't be seen again like Whisper's ability to summon bugs or him being able to think it's the work of Yo-Kai instead of refusing to believe it is. So in conclusion, it was a great to start a series that would last 4 years.
Rating:8/10
Episode 2: "The One In The Water", "Why Did You Say That?", and "Katie's Secret"
Plot Summary:
The One In The Water:
Whisper attempts to teach Nate more about various Yo-kai at a nearby aqueduct. He mentions the mythical Kappa, which Nate recognizes as a famous Yo-kai. While this is happening, Walkappa walks by and, realizing that Whisper and Nate are talking about him, tries to get their attention. At Whisper's suggestion, Nate scans the water and finds an upturned, chipped plate, which Whisper claims is the top of a Kappa's head. Just then, a passing delivery boy retrieves the dish, which turns out to be a normal plate. Whisper and Nate discuss this just as the delivery boy trips, causing the plate to fall on his head, making him resemble a Kappa. Whisper, Nate and the delivery boy laugh off the incident as Walkappa gives up in frustration.
Why Did You Say That:
Nate stealthily makes his way to the boys' room as class break begins. After dropping a deuce, he breathes a sigh of relief as he exits the facility. Katie happens to be passing by and notices the stench exuding from the restroom, immediately recognizing it was caused by Nate's fecal matter. She then confronts him in the classroom, flagrantly describing the vile smell his bowels were capable of producing to their friends. Nate is desolated, adorning a pale face that persists even after school.
As school ends, Whisper concludes that only a Yo-kai would make Katie do something like this. Nate confirms Whisper's suspicion when he uses his watch and reveals Tattletell hanging on Katie's face. He then confronts Katie, but is soon dealt another blow when she blurts out about his big stinky poo to her two friends. Nate is devastated once again but manages to compose himself and focus his attention on the Yo-kai. Tattletell then leaps from Katie and hightails it down the road. During the chase, Tattletell attaches herself to several people revealing their unfortunate secrets: a barber butchering a kid's hair, a woman's dislike for her date, and a thief's confession of larceny.
Tattletell gets cornered by Whisper and Nate, and soon Jibanyan is summoned to face her. However, Jibanyan is reluctant to cooperate because he was training against trucks just before. Jibanyan eventually gives in and attacks Tattletell with Paws of Fury, but Tattletell dodges all his punches and attaches herself to him instead! His face turns blue as he reveals his deep love for Next Harmeowny, a girl band whose posters adorn his entire room. Jibanyan hopes his friends will forget his secret, but discovers them talking behind his back which causes him to sob and flee.
Tattletell jumps around with glee as she makes her way to the park. Nate follows behind, and Whisper suggests he summon another Yo-kai for assistance. Nate calls upon Happierre, but surprisingly cannot reach him because he is vacationing in Hawaii with his wife. Nate then pulls Walkappa's medal out of his pocket. Whisper asks when he had received this medal, but Nate responds that it is not important. After arriving and exchanging pleasantries, Walkappa finds himself in the same situation as the others: Tattletell makes him tell his secrets. However, Walkappa's dull secrets prove unsatisfactory to Tattletell, who faints in an effort to get juicier information from the kappa. Nate then befriends Tattletell and thanks Walkappa as the tale ends.
My Thoughts: This episode was a nice way to introduce us to myths and legend being used as a Yo-kai is a good idea that works for a serious like this but the flaws of this episodes were mostly when it came to the jokes but you can still find something to enjoy from enjoy.
My Rating:7/10
Episode 3: "The Rare One", "Yo-Kai Manjimutt", "Here Comes Roughraff", and "Manjimutt Part 2"
Plot Summary:
The Rare One:
As Nate watches television, his mother comes in dressed in conspicuous clothing. She sheds them to reveal that she had done so because she had just bought a whoopie pie from Banter Bakery, which Nate says that bakery has the chef being noted as an absolute perfectionist with his crafts, selling none that's no less than perfect. The reason Nate's mother got one was because she stood in line for a long time, then praised his mom for her commitment.
After he happily eats the food his mother got him, Whisper mentions the occurrence of rare Yo-kai, though resorts to his pad when asked by Nate. He eventually pulls out info on the Noko, a snake-like Yo-kai noted for its jumping prowess. When Whisper turns away to fiddle with his pad, a Noko appears behind Whisper in view of Nate, vanishing as soon as Whisper turns around to look at Nate. Once his back was turned, the Noko reappears, only this time, another one accompanies it.
While Whisper keeps looking away back-and-forth, several more Noko appear until Whisper explodes in irritation, sending all the Noko in the room flying. Ignoring some Noko that bounced off of him, Whisper continues his point of the rarity of the Noko, despite the fact a Noko just replaced itself with his pad. Afterwards, A Noko offers a Yo-kai Medal to Nate, unsuspecting of Whisper.
Yo-Kai Manjimutt:
After being annoyed by Whisper's sleeping habits at home and on the way to school, Eddie tells Nate and Bear that there is a rumor going around which is of a "human-faced dog" that resides in Springdale. After Eddie shows a photo of what it looks like, Nate and Bear doesn't believe at first but Katie steps in to say that she has seen it last night.
Katie saw it while she was coming home from school during an evening, whereas she mistakened it for a lost puppy but screamed in fear when it looked at her. While this gets the others scared, Katie said that she didn't get a good enough look at it, but knew it was no ordinary dog. From Katie's explanation, Nate thought to himself that it may she may have seen a Yo-kai.
Later on in the evening, Nate goes on to fearlessly find the human-faced dog. Whisper assumes that he's acting this way because he wants to save Katie from the human-faced dog, to the point of even impersonating a possible outcome between the two. Whisper warns him to be more careful because Katie saw the human-faced dog without a Yo-kai Watch and says that it's rumored to be powerful and can turn anyone into them when it bites an unsuspecting human.
They both notice a regular dog walking down the street, which turns out to be the human-faced dog they were looking for all this time, who introduces himself as Yo-kai Manjimutt. At first, they're unsettled by his appearance, but he turns out to be gentle, yet depressed about being a human-faced dog. Nate asks it's because of how he's scary-looking he is.
Nate's reasoning makes Manjimutt feel even more depressed, leaving him to sit in a corner but Nate asks him why he's feeling that way. At first, he disapproves Nate of still calling him a "human-faced dog", which makes him feel sad about his appearance but after that, Manjimutt goes on to tell his story.
Afterwards, Manjimutt goes to an oden stand where he orders a drink and urges Nate to sit with him. After ordering some drinks for the others, Nate notices that the man running the stand could see him further revealing that everyone else can normally see him. After they drank some of their beverage, Manjimutt tells Nate and Whisper about how he became a Yo-kai.
Manjimutt was originally an average business man that one day lost his job due to his business having budget cuts. He was so depressed that he ended up drinking at the oden stand, feeling too embarrassed to face his wife anymore in the process. On the same night, he mindlessly danced around in the streets (getting drunk in the original) and carelessely crashes into the pile of wooden boards while a toy poodle was in sight, turning him into Yo-kai Manjimutt.
Despite Manjimutt being turned into a Yo-kai, he thought of it as a good thing and liked his new look, hoping he would gain traction with people who likes dogs, but everyone thought of him as scary, except for the man running the oden stand, making Manjimutt feel extremely depressed about himself. Manjimutt wanders off to another area in sadness, only for two policemen find and arrest him.
Nate and Whisper find Manjimutt being arrested by the police and hurriedly hands him his Yo-kai Medal before he gets handcuffed and escorted into the police car, where Nate blankly accepts it into his collection.
Here Comes Roughraff:
During a school cleanup session, Bear runs to Nate and tells him about Eddie's unusual change in behavior. Eddie is shown as rebellious-looking than usual with his underpants and socks more visible, and plays pranks on the teachers, leading Nate to think that a Yo-kai is on the loose. Nate and Whisper follow Eddie around outside of school who keeps acting this way, leading him to use the Yo-kai Watch and find Yo-kai Roughraff.
Whisper explains about Roughraff's inspiriting effects whom causes innocent children to enter a stage of rebellion, sporting a meaner look and attitude which makes Nate worried even more about Eddie. Roughraff runs away from Nate, but Eddie is still acting rebellious with Whisper explaining that Roughraff must be defeated to end the effects of Eddie's inspirit.
Nate and Whisper chase down Roughraff, who runs away like a motorcycle until they eventually stop near a riverbank, leaving Roughraff has no other choice but to fight him. Nate summons Jibanyan to use as combat, but Jibanyan is startled and nervous by Roughraff's appearance. Roughraff jumps while Jibanyan tries to attack, but he lands on Jibanyan and causes the two to be fused into Baddinyan.
The unexpected occurrence surprises Nate and Whisper, scaring that Jibanyan has turned towards a stage of rebellion. Despite their warnings, they cringe at his bad habits such as eating two Chocobars in one go and before dinner, and in bed while not caring to clean up the wrappers, and not bothering to clean his teeth or wash his hands after eating.
Fearing they have no other options, Nate summons Manjimutt who surprisingly has his prison bars and toilet brought along with him. Whisper uses his swirl to break open the lock, while Nate orders Manjimutt to fight off Roughraff, resulting in him being scared to do so. Nate motivates Manjimutt to talk Roughraff out of the problem, which gets him to do it, but is suddenly punched in the face.
Manjimutt eventually retaliates, by getting back up and both fight against each other while they make insults for a long time before they both eventually stop. They laugh off their actions and unexpectedly form a friendship with each other. It was until the next day that Eddie went back to normal and Manjimutt was sent back to jail.
Manjimutt: Part 2
After the events of the previous segment, Manjimutt is given some dinner in his jail cell and hopes he will get out while the police officer hopes that he has learned his lesson. While Manjimutt contemplates, he notices the police officer reading the newspaper containing a career for a hair stylist, and hopes to get a job when Manjimutt is released.
My Thoughts: It was an interesting to see how rare Yo-kai can be, how some can be seen by people, and some that have antagonistic traits that allow them to show how different they are. The faults of the episodes are more so the jokes than the episode itself.
My Rating:7/10
