tennesee whiskey (n. kento x reader)

a.n.: this is basically a drawn out version of the prompt i posted earlier. fic title is in reference to the chris stapleton cover song (felt appropriate for the bar theme) (and and also also lets admire how cute the dividers i made in canva are) does this jump around in characterization? yeah maybe. go ahead, call the whimsy police on me! summary: nanami teaches you how to play pool c.w.: reader referred to using she/her pronouns, alcohol (reader is 21+), suggestive themes, smut if you squint, jealous nanami, and the ever-present risk of writing ooc. barely beta read (though what fic of mine is lmao) w.c.: 1.4k

You and Nanami were sent out to the middle of nowhere to exorcise a curse, in hopes of stopping it before it had the chance to propagate into something worse. Even though it was a Grade 3 curse, the higher ups deemed it safest for the two of you to go as a pair.. It was an in-and-out mission, the two of you making quick work to intervene. Soon enough, you were back in the car and headed back to campus. The simple pitter patter of raindrops hitting the windshield brought a strange sense of comfort. But the calm could only last for so long. A barricade of rain began to drop, bringing a swift end to the peace. He drove until the road was unnavigable, pulling off into an empty parking lot. The two of you were stranded. Your options were to either wait out the storm in the car, or attempt to find solace somewhere nearby. You chose to press your luck with the latter.

“Over there.”, he points out, pulling your attention.

Across the street, there was a dive bar still open despite the storm. The flickering neon lights were your own personal Eden. When you enter the bar, you’re immediately hit with warmth. A concoction of body heat and cigarette smoke fill the room. You can’t seem to mind it though. It draws the attention away from your clothes starting to form a second skin on your body.

“Now don’t you two look wonderful.” The bartender jokes. He bears a giant grin, and you can’t help but to feel unsettled by it. “If you got a change of clothes, restrooms are over that way.” Today was one of the days you were grateful for the spare set of clothes you kept on hand. Missions were unpredictable, and you never knew when you’d be stuck somewhere. You seize the opportunity and head to the restroom, eager to remove the soaked clothes. While you change, Nananmi orders two drinks from the bar.

“For you and your girlfriend?” “Hell, if she’s not spoken for, I’ll have to make her mine!” It’s not like he had a claim over you or anything. But as your partner, and even more so as your friend, he made your protection a top priority. It didn’t matter if they were one off comments. Nanami had lost too many to be careless.

“She’s fine.” Nanami’s tone is dry, unimpressed by the barkeep’s boldness. You return from changing, noticing the blond standing closer to you than before. It’s probably just a safety thing. Better to stay close together than apart, right?

“Drink this.” He hands you the other glass of whiskey. “It’ll help warm you up.” The liquor goes down relatively smooth, and you revel in the warmth of it. “How about a game of pool to pass the time?” You nod over at the table in the corner of the bar. The rain wasn’t letting up any time soon, and you figured it was a good way to pass the time. “You’ve played pool?” 

“I’ve dabbled in it… online.” He rolls his eyes and hands you a stick. A hint of a smile crosses his face. That stoic exterior he fronts at all times slowly starting to chip away. “We could make it fun. Loser has to do something for the winner?” An opportunity for the adult of all adults to let loose. You were curious to know what was behind that rigid exterior. “If I win, you buy me a drink.”  

“And what if I win?” A virtual win does not a professional pool player make, but you weren’t completely oblivious to the game. Even if the odds were stacked against you, you weren’t going down without a fight.

“Given the likelihood of that, I’ll do whatever you want.” He breaks, immediately shooting 3 balls into the pockets. Show-off. “Where’d you learn to play like that?” Of course the man of many secrets would turn out to be a semi-professional. Or he just really wanted a free drink. “Shoko and I used to play all the time when we were younger.”

It’s your time to shine. You step up to the table and ready your shot. “You’re doing it wrong.” Nanami smirks at your rigid form.You’re stiff as a board, awkwardly hovering the stick over the table. “Then show me, Mr. Professional.” Nanami moves from his spot across the table and positions himself right behind you. He places one hand on your stomach, arching your back out to him, and lets the other rest on your waist. “Now place your hands here.” He moves your right hand to grasp the pool stick; your left hand rests on the table forming a hand bridge toward the end of the stick. “Line up the shot and pull back when you’re ready.” He guides you to move, yet never adjusts his position from behind you. Hell, if you moved even an inch back, you’d ram right into him. You couldn’t say you minded though. 

Just as instructed, you line up your shot and pull back. Once you release, the pool stick makes perfect  contact with the cue ball. It spins for a moment, then promptly hits a striped ball into one of the six pockets. “Good shot.” His breath tickles your ear as he speaks. “Now do that about 8 more times and you’ll win.” You line up your second shot and- “Fuck.” The cue ball bounces off the side of the table and right into one of the pockets. “You’re overthinking it. Try not to be so stiff.” His tone is soft, sickly sweet almost.“Relax yourself.” He gives you a simple smirk as you relax, albeit into him. His strong hands hold on to your shoulders, kneading into them gently. Were you not in the middle of a game, you’d melt into his touch. Right here, right now.“

Easy for you to say. You’ve got like 4 balls left!” You whine, and his smirk grows wider. “Anything could happen.” Cocky. Such an easy claim for the blond to make! He was practically prodding a reaction out of you. And you would give it to him. A slap on the arm that he’d hope would linger for a second longer, but you pull away to align your next shot.

It had to be a fluke. The two of you were tied; it could’ve been anyone's game. But Nanami slipped up, knocking the 8 ball right into one of the pockets a turn early. Meaning you had won. Despite his banter with you about playing, he didn’t seem all that upset about the loss. “Alright, winner. Name your prize.”

“Kiss me?” You test the waters, careful not to scare him off. Be it the adrenaline rush from winning or the liquor, something emboldened your choice of prize. Nanami didn’t seem opposed either. His hands found their way to your waist, pulling you closer to him as you lean in. You can feel the heat radiating from his body, his touch sending shivers down your spine. Your arms wrap around his neck, fingers tangling in his hair, as you lose yourself in the intoxicating taste and feel of him. Nanami is the one to deepen the kiss, pinning you against the table with his thigh. You let your hands fall to his shirt collar, playing with it and pulling him in closer.

As he cast a pointed look towards the bartender across the room, it became clear that Nanami had no intentions of letting anyone encroach on what was rightfully his. His lips trail down your jawline, leaving a trail of wet kisses in their wake, and finally rests against the sweet spot between your neck and shoulders. Nanami nips at the skin, deep enough to leave a mark. You pull away, trying to catch your breath. “If I didn’t know any better, I’d think you lost on purpose.” You smile, fixing the creases in his shirt collar. Nanami’s bruised lips pull into a cocky grin as he brushes his thumb over your lips. “Don’t doubt your ability. If anything, call it a newfound talent.”

“And what if I wanted to take this celebration somewhere more private?” You raise your brows, desperate to keep going  but without prying eyes. Nanami picks up on your request immediately, releasing you from the pool table. Possessive, his grasp pulls you close. It’s firm but gentle, a simple comfort as he leads you. You both shuffle into the small bathroom and lock the door. And right now, more than ever, you’re grateful for the deep drumming of the thunder and the loud pour of the rain.

Yo! The most basic idea for request - sfw and nsft hcs for the character you like - Tomizawa :D

I'm a very simple woman, I see Tomi, I get to work immediately. God knows how down bad I am for this wet dog of a man 😭

Anyway, here they are!

Tomizawa headcanons (SFW + NSFT)

• Yes, he is a sarcastic asshole. Mostly with his friends. And although it sometimes slips when he's with a partner too, he's generally super freaking dotting. And thing is, ever since the whole Marie thing, he thought that side was gone for good, it very obviously is not. If anyone asks though, he definitely doesn't give you free taxi rides, he doesn't remember all your favorite foods and you definitely didn't buy him that new swimsuit. 

• He makes KILLER coffee. Man has wanted to open his own café pretty much his whole life, and he may or may not have practice and perfected a lot of recipes he found online. If someone asks though, he definitely didn't learn how to make your favorite coffee explicitly so he could make it for you every morning. 

• A sucker for a nice little accessory. Necklaces, bracelets, he even has a few earrings to choose from. Anything except rings, because those are annoying to work around when you have to deal with cars. But again, if someone asks, that bracelet he wears everyday wasn't a gift from you. 

• Blowjobs in the car? Blowjobs in the car. Never while he's driving though, he doesn't disregard road safety THAT much. There is something so deeply arousing about parking at some random alley and having you sink to your knees while he just throws his head back, rests a hand on your head and relaxes in the driver's seat. 

• You know how Tomi goes "What is your wish, master?" when charmed in battle? Basically, yeah. He's not strictly submissive or anything, but he is not about to pretend he doesn't get a kick out of being ordered around, hair pulled and lowkey bullied into eating you out. Except if you're in public, in which case, he WILL deny it. 

• All that manual work has REALLY paid off, this man knows how to use his hands very well. And since he cares more for you enjoying yourself than he does for his own pleasure, you bet your ass he's putting all that experience to good use pretty much every time.

Eight-year-old Haneen Abu-Shamsiya is supposed to be sitting in her classroom in Hebron in the occupied West Bank, but, for months now, she has been forced into online learning after her school closed down due to Israeli military restrictions around the city.

Since the war on Gaza broke out on 7 October, about 2,000 Palestinian students in Hebron have been studying online. The Israeli army has closed all roads leading to around 50 schools in the city, installing barriers and checkpoints that have made the route for students treacherous. Residents have also been facing increasing attacks and harassment by Israeli settlers, making parents afraid of sending their children out on the streets.

“I wish I could go back to school like before. I miss school a lot. I want to go back to my classmates. These online classes are not clear, and we don’t understand well compared to face-to-face classes,” said Haneen, who is a grade-three pupil at Qurtuba school, one of the few schools providing online education in the city of Hebron.

Haneen is not alone. Brothers Ramez and Murad, 11 and 10, are also not thrilled about the sudden change. On normal days, before their school was forced to close, the two boys had to pass through three Israeli military barriers to reach Qurtuba school in the southern part of Hebron.

“When we used to go to school they [the Israeli army] would check us. Now, the Israeli army has deprived us of education ... although it was hard to reach my school because of the barriers. I am yearning to go back, to study with my classmates and meet my teacher and head teacher,” Ramez, who attends online classes for grade six, told MEE. His brother Murad, a grade five student, agreed.

“I have not been to school since 7 October. I study online, but I prefer the school. In the online lessons, we do not have a whiteboard, we cannot take our books. I miss doing PE lessons, playing football and buying food from the school canteen,” he said. Out of 50 schools in Hebron, only four in the Old City managed to turn to distance learning, with lessons set via Microsoft Teams or Zoom.

Some lessons are broadcast via television, according to an education official. “We are working hard to find a solution to have students resume face-to-face tuition, but it is extremely difficult now. In order to protect our pupils, and for their safety, they are studying online,” Atef al-Gamal, head of the Palestinian education authority in Hebron, told MEE. He added that the authorities were obliged to resort to distance learning as a temporary solution given the situation in Hebron. According to a report by the Palestinian education ministry, 46 schools were attacked by the Israeli army and settlers between 7 October and 13 February.

In areas that are deemed relatively safe, hundreds of thousands of students have been engaged in hybrid learning, attending classes at school and receiving e-lessons at home on alternate days, the ministry said. “Face-to-face education is still the most efficient ... it allows better interaction between students and teachers and a better follow-up as well, compared to the online education, where the student is behind the screen at home. But students’ safety is a priority,” said Gamal. “We are trying our best to compensate with online education. We hope that in the coming years there will be more contingency plans, but for now we ask the parents to closely follow up with the students’ performance.”

Parents are also facing challenges as their children struggle to settle into online learning. Raid al-Sharif, the father of Murad and Ramez, said students were forced to abide by this transition to distance learning, which entails many challenges. “Online education is full of challenges. Not all children pay the same attention while attending e-lessons, because they are kids in the end. We follow up with them, and we are not saying the situation is extremely bad, but face-to-face education is much better,” Sharif told MEE.

Sharif also pointed to the financial requirements of online lessons that some families might struggle to meet. “I am able to provide my two sons with smart phones to use to attend the lessons, but other families could find that very difficult. Not everyone can afford a device that could cost around 500 shekels [$132]. We are talking about six months of online schooling,” he said. The children’s wellbeing is also affected, according to Sharif. “Their psychological state also gets worse.

They are staying in the same room to attend all the lessons. They don’t get to see faces or meet anyone. They have energy that is not vented out, so this definitely affects them negatively,” he said.

Given the fact that many schools in Hebron were forced to shut as the Israeli army imposed strict road barriers, Sharif cannot think of any solutions to have his children go back to their classrooms. He said the only option would be to withdraw the students from Qurtuba and register them in other schools that are in accessible areas, but he believes that abandoning these institutions put them at risk of being taken over by Israeli settlers.

“It would be a crime against our own neighbourhoods and schools. The situation should then remain as it is,” Sharif said.

“We will try to help our children reach a safe zone, but not at the expense of our neighbourhoods that are in danger of being stolen by Israeli settlers and the Israeli army.”

as always ezcosplay is a very hit or miss place to buy cosplay lol.

pros:

regular garments like pants, shirts, jackets, etc tend to be alright in quality and usually is true to the sizing u ordered (i ordered an xl. the pants had give so it could easily fit an xxl)

usually a good amount of wiggle room ! comfortable!

all parts are included (minus shoes, shoes u must order separately). yes i got the armor with my claude cosplay. they do a thorough job

the gloves are good and u can actually use your phone with them for the most part (in my experience anyways)

they have every character known to man. and if they dont have that niche character u wanna cosplay u can commission them!

cons:

not very breathable. im gonna be dying in my claude cosplay in august i promise u this.. but ig if you WANT to be warm for a winter con or winter photoshoot, this can actually be a plus!

sometimes the belts/ties, such as elbow armor or knee armor do NOT work. like they straightup need to be secured with something else because theyre so hard to keep on. this is likely due to the belting being pure fabric, with no actual function to them and no real means of attaching it in the first place. youre on your own with this one

smelly out of the bag. sometimes wrinkled but not always. good practice to iron it probably, but i do not own an iron so RIP

armor pieces often attach with literal safety pins. this isnt ALWAYS bad like if it works it works but theres gotta be a better way, esp for the money i paid

the colors werent 100% accurate to the character; for instance i noticed my wrist/arm/knee/elbow armor was purple instead of gold? confusing.

tend to be rather expensive!

for people like me who dont have annnyyyy sewing/crafting talent and have to order their cosplays online, ezcosplay is kind of middle of the road? not as good as dokidoki or uwowo or even miccostumes. not as bad as generic amazon cosplay.

Life is Strange - What if Esteban hadn't died? - Part III

Esteban drives towards Mount Rainier National Park. Sean looks lost in his thoughts while Daniel plays Minecraft on his phone. ─ Sean, are you okay? You've been quiet, hijo. ─ I'm fine, dad. It's just… a lot has been going on my mind recently. I'm thinking about some things, but I'm okay. ─ If you ever need to talk, I'm right here. ─ Thanks, dad. He decides to stop by a gas station. ─ Okay, hijos. We are having a quick stop to use the bathroom and buy something. He gives Sean twenty dollars. ─ Dad, what is this for? ─ You can buy something for you and Daniel. But please, choose wisely. Money isn't infinite. I wish it were, though. Daniel and Sean enter the little store. ─ Buy some Choc-O-Crisp for me, please, please!!! ─ Come on, Daniel, we need to buy something healthier. ─ But I want… ─ Okay, okay, Daniel… I'll buy one bar of Choc-O-Crisp, okay? ─ Okay… Sean looks at the price. It surprises him. ─ What the f-… this costs seven dollars! Are you sure you really want it? ─ Yeeeah, please, bro…

Sean sighs and takes the bar. ─ Do not ask me for anything else! Sean looks at the food while Daniels walks around the store and meets a man. Sean hears his brother talking to someone and goes after him. ─ Fuck! He approaches Daniel. ─ Daniel, what are you doing? He looks at the man. ─ I'm sorry. He can be annoying sometimes. ─ Annoying? He is quite friendly. And I kind of got carried away. How old is he, by the way? ─ He is nine. ─ I'm almost ten. ─ Still not ten, Daniel. ─ Is his name Daniel? It is a nice name. My name is Brody, by the way. I' am an online traveling journalist. ─ My name is Sean. Oh, if you don't mind me asking… what is an online traveling journalist? ─ Basically a fancy name for someone who drives around in a car and writes about people and stuff he sees. There are a few websites that pay me for it. Nice to meet you both. Are you traveling with your brother? ─ Our dad is with us. ─ Sean! Daniel! ─ Esteban calls them. ─ I think I will go back to work now. I'm already working against a deadline, so... ─ That's okay. ─ Oh, you're here ─ Esteban says as he finds his sons. ─ Look, I found a marshmallow bag. We can't camp without marshmallow. ─ Oh, yeah, dad! ─ Sean agrees. They go to the checkout to pay for what they've bought. The cashier is an old lady. ─ Good morning, guys. ─ Good morning, ma'am ─ Sean answers. ─ Seventeen dollars. Sean gives her the money. ─ Here is your change. His brother hears a dog barking. ─ What is that? ─ He curiously asks. He sees a cute dog. ─ That dog… she needs to find a new home ─ the cashier explains. Daniel looks at his dad and begs. ─ Dad, can we adopt him, please? ─ Wow, I wish we could, but you know I'm allergic to dogs. I wouldn't stop sneezing and coughing. He keeps begging. ─ Pleeease! Sean looks at him. ─ Daniel, come on. Don't you care about our dad's safety? Esteban surrenders. ─ Okay, we can adopt the dog. But you'll have to promise to me that you'll keep everything clean and keep that dog at a safe distance from me. ─ I will, I will! ─ Daniel jumps in joy. ─ I think we are going to need to buy her some food. You can wait for me in the car. ─ Okay, dad. The cashier gives the dog to Daniel. They go outside the store and wait for their dad inside the car. Esteban comes back two minutes later. ─ Great! Now let's get back to the road. He sneezes. ─ Daniel, I told you it wasn't a good idea to… ─ I'm fine, Sean. It's just a sneeze. My allergy isn't actually that bad. I think… He sneezes again.

It's almost 6 PM. Shaun, Daniel, and Esteban are walking through the forest to find a place to camp at. ─ It's getting dark ─ Esteban says. ─ Dad, when I look at those signs, I remember the time when you taught me to read them. Those memories are so important to me. ─ For me too, son. Daniel runs with his dog. ─ Slow down, Daniel! ─ Esteban requests. ─ We are tired of walking already. ─ That enano never runs out of energy. ─ He reminds of me when I was his age. I was unstoppable. I miss those times, when life was easier. ─ Sometimes you just have to slow down and rest a bit, dad. ─ It's hard to find an opportunity to do this, you know. I have a family now, two sons to raise… ─ I appreciate how much you try to be a good dad for Daniel and me, but sometimes you need some time to yourself. Why don't you go out with your friends? You can even go out alone. Sometimes it helps us reorganize our thoughts and… Daniel interrupts them. ─ I need a name for the dog. ─ The dog is yours, so… you choose the name, hermano. ─ What about Mushroom? ─ That's what I call a creative name, son! I'm proud of you ─ Esteban laughs while he hugs Daniel. They find a place to stay the night. Esteban unpacks things and Daniel and Sean go find some wood for the fire.

How did you get into processing animal remains? I've wanted to learn how to do that ethically and legally but there seems to be so many laws and hoops to jump through that I have no clue where to start

I grew up hunting deer, rabbit, ducks, elk, et cetera and was taught how to skin/process animals for eating. I began salting parts that were inedible (hooves, wings, horns) to keep for myself and slowly learned as I grew older more "professional" ways to taxidermy For laws all you need to do is search what animals are legal to keep in your area. If youre in the US be very diligent on bird laws. Theyre very serious. More under the cut

Resources for animal processing Maceration [Removing flesh] : Level Easy

Diaphanized [Staining Flesh] : Level Advanced

Dermestid Beetle [Flesh Eating] : Level Medium to Advanced

Skinning for pelt : Level Easy

I know the video is of a conservative...its very difficult to find left leaning people in this trade lol but maybe we can change that You can also search the different ways to skin a pelt Different ways to tan a pelt are hard tan and soft tan Pretty self explanatory and can be used depending on what you want the hide for Some states it is against the law to pick up road kill (this is due to safety and hunting regulations to protect animals. So people dont just hit a fox or something with their car so they can keep it)

A good way to practice or get animal parts is contacting local hunters/ranchers or butchers and asking for parts they dont want to use and will otherwise throw out. You can also visit a local butcher and buy a whole animal (if thats a service they provide) Some animal breeders will also give you the animals that dont make it (it is very common and the babies would otherwise be thrown away) Some spay and nueter facilities also practice TNR (Trap, Nueter, Release) Some cats are early stage pregnant and the spay will abort the fetuses. You can ask them for the bodies. This is not legal everywhere (and some may find it disturbing/unethical) so ask with caution and professionalism.

Be VERY cautious of where you buy animal parts and bones online. Do NOT buy bat parts. They are almost all poached unethically and there is no way to trace where they truly come from. If you have bat parts then experienced collectors will cringe. Many online sites will claim "ethically sourced" however "ethical" is subjective and may not align what you find humane. Keep this in mind. Try to source only from those you KNOW are trustworthy. It is not uncommon to see "raccoon/cat skull for sale : ) ! " and its actually a poached tanuki I hope this helps!

Some Tips Let You Riding Electric Skateboard Safer

Although electric skateboarding is a very fun and exciting activity, it presents a serious risk of injury. We could be seriously injured by falling on the hard tarmac. The best way to avoid injury and damage to our bodies is to wear proper protective and safety gear! If you do realize the risks, when you buy your first circuit board, you also buy protective gear. Please do not leave your local store or online store without a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads and gloves. To ride safely, we should wear protective gear and safety gear! I have done a lot of research and in this article I am going to present the most reputable and reliable electronic skating protective gear.

We definitely need helmets when riding electric skateboards. Knee and elbow pads are also a good thing. Gloves are very practical and also reduce pain. I would never recommend protective gear that has not been proven safe. Even though safety is by far the most important factor in choosing protective gear, I only choose safety gear that doesn't make us look like fools!

1. Wear a helmet and protective gear.

Electric skateboards are faster than traditional skateboards. Once you fall from above, you will be injured. Therefore, it is very necessary to wear protective equipment such as helmets, knee pads, and wrist pads. Also, make sure that the helmet is sized for the age of the wearer and adjusted so that it fits snugly on the head for maximum protection.

2. Check your electric skateboard.

The entire board should be carefully inspected before each ride. Tighten loose parts and replace damaged parts. Turn on the motor and do a test run to make sure the motor is running properly and the brake is not damaged.

3. Regular basic maintenance, especially the brakes.

Regularly service your electric skateboard after every ride. Check the tightness of your wheels, bogies, brakes, bearings, remotes, batteries, bogies, and even tighten all the screws on your electric skateboard. (especially when riding on rough roads)

4. Use the correct riding posture.

The riding position is divided into a normal position and a silly position, that is, the left foot is in front or the right foot is in front. Correct posture can allow you to better control the skateboard and stay away from danger.

5. Ride in the right weather.

Electric skateboards are not completely waterproof. If you're driving on wet roads with heavy rain, your board could get water and then short out and be damaged. In addition, severe weather such as rain, snow, fog, and freezing is not suitable for riding, because it is easy to cause accidents.

6. Ride at night and make sure others can see you.

When driving at night, in order to ensure your safety, you need to install a headlight on the skateboard, with a reflector on the back so that other roads can see you. In addition, it is possible to wear reflective clothing and install lights on the helmet.

7. According to your skills, choose the appropriate speed.

Riding beyond your skill level is very dangerous, especially at high speeds where swaying can occur. If not handled properly, you will be at risk of falling. Before riding, please use the remote control to adjust the skateboard to the riding mode that suits you. In addition, practice more and improve your technical level to avoid this from happening.

In conclusion

I hope everyone can enjoy the fun of riding electric skateboards, but safety always comes first. I hope you keep these safety tips in mind.

Landing

05-02-2023

I finally have time for a more elaborate update!

The moment I entered Brisbane airport and saw the terminal for my Air New Zealand flight indicated on the screens, I was getting giddy with anticipation. The vibe at the airport was vastly different from that at Incheon and CDG. I only had a 1:35 layover, but was quickly greeted by a lady with that lovely Ozzie accent letting me know there was absolutely no need to rush. My gate would be right up the stairs, and everything was all right. I thanked her and went to empty out my water bottle for the next luggage check. The air flowing in through open doors or windows was hot and humid, and it had that tropical smell to it that instantly brought me back to my backpacking trip around Australia seven years ago. It felt a little like coming home 🥰

Even on the plane, people seemed much more cheerful and welcoming than on the previous flights. Other passengers were singing along to the songs playing during boarding, the safety video was stunningly beautiful, and during the flight I found out they have a little app on the entertainment system called 'seat chat', which allows you to message other passengers. I took some chances and randomly invited a couple of seats to a chat, and one of them accepted! We had a really nice chat and shared some amazement about the gorgeous views from the plane as we made our approach to Aotearoa:

I'd been worried for about thirty hours that my luggage wouldn't successfully be transported all the way with me, but to my relief it was one of the first to roll in. After getting through customs and biosecurity (which luckily allowed me to keep all of my items), I was kindly picked up from the airport by my friend ♥️ She drove me into the city to say hi to her husband, and then we headed to their home, where I am lucky to be welcome to stay for a while. The whole drive I was gaping out the window, in awe of both the hot weather and the hills and ocean. She hit me with a lot of cool information about the area, and my heart was just about ready to leap out of my chest! First impression: absolutely wonderful ♥️

After getting a much needed shower, I went into town with her to grab a bite to eat, and after that we went for a walk along the beach in the sunset:

In the supermarket later that evening a stranger came up to me and said they liked my hair so naturally I'm already IN LOVE with this place ☺️

It's funny how, when you're planning a move like this, you can feel like you won't find your way in a new place at all. Especially if I haven't travelled for a while, that's the one thing I forget the most quickly. It feels like you'd panic, or won't find a place to sleep at night, or won't find a job to support yourself. But then when you get there, and (if you're as lucky as I am) you have some people helping you get settled in, it all works out so easily. All those walls and fears come crumbling down in a single conversation, and it feels magical. You find out you still have your wits about you, you still have your skills and your intelligence, and you can still ask questions, get answers, and make sensible decisions that work for you. All of that applies no matter where you are. And of course it's still scary, don't get me wrong. It's a vastly unfamiliar environment, everybody drives on the wrong side of the road, I am actually having some trouble properly parsing Kiwi English, and living costs are high. But I'm reminding myself regularly that I have a whole year to find my way around here!

So after getting a good night's sleep, today I've gotten a local phone number, done some groceries (sooo many nice vegan products here!!) been invited to a board game night, have found several jobs to choose from when I'm ready, have looked around for accommodation options, figured out the public transport situation, have looked up open mic night events, and have found several second hand guitars online that I'm interested in buying :)

Looking forward to the next 363 days!

But how do you choose the right tyre supplier? This comprehensive guide will walk you through the importance of selecting the right tyres, the benefits of working with trusted car tyre suppliers in Galashiels, and tips for getting the most value for your money.

Why Tyre Quality Matters

Your car’s tyres are the only part of the vehicle that comes into direct contact with the road. This means that they are directly responsible for grip, stability, and overall vehicle handling. Poor-quality or worn tyres can lead to reduced fuel efficiency, longer braking distances, and even accidents, especially in adverse weather conditions such as rain or snow. In Galashiels, where weather can often be unpredictable, it's important to ensure your tyres are in good condition and suited to the local driving environment.

Choosing a reliable tyre supplier in Galashiels ensures you’re getting high-quality tyres that are designed for both performance and durability. The right supplier will provide tyres that not only match your car’s specifications but also improve its handling and fuel efficiency.

Types of Tyres Available from Car Tyre Suppliers in Galashiels

Before diving into where to buy tyres, it’s important to understand the different types of tyres available from suppliers. Knowing the differences can help you make a more informed decision based on your driving habits and needs.

1. All-Season Tyres: These tyres are designed to perform well in most weather conditions, from wet roads to light snow. For many drivers in Galashiels, all-season tyres provide the right balance of performance and durability without needing to switch to winter tyres.

2. Winter Tyres: For those who frequently drive in snow or icy conditions, winter tyres offer superior traction and braking capabilities. The softer rubber compound and deeper treads allow them to perform better in colder temperatures.

3. Summer Tyres: Designed for optimal performance in warmer temperatures, summer tyres offer improved handling and shorter braking distances on dry and wet roads. However, they are not suited for colder climates or snowy conditions.

4. Performance Tyres: These tyres are designed for high-performance vehicles and drivers who prioritise speed and handling. They typically offer better cornering capabilities but may wear out faster than all-season or winter tyres.

5. Run-Flat Tyres: Run-flat tyres are designed to allow you to continue driving even after a puncture. This can be especially helpful for drivers who travel long distances or through rural areas around Galashiels.

By understanding the different tyre types, you can have a clearer idea of what you need when visiting car tyre suppliers in Galashiels.

Benefits of Choosing Local Car Tyre Suppliers in Galashiels

When it comes to purchasing tyres, working with a local supplier offers several advantages over ordering online or visiting a larger chain. Here are some reasons why opting for local car tyre suppliers in Galashiels can provide you with better value and service:

1. Personalized Service: Local suppliers tend to offer more personalized services, taking the time to understand your specific needs and recommending tyres that suit both your vehicle and driving habits. Unlike online stores, where you may feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of options, a local supplier can guide you to the best choice for your vehicle.

2. Expert Knowledge of Local Roads: Tyre suppliers in Galashiels understand the local driving conditions better than any national chain or online retailer. They can recommend the right tyres for driving on both rural and urban roads, ensuring optimal performance throughout the year.

3. Immediate Availability: Instead of waiting for tyres to be shipped from an online store, local suppliers often have a wide selection of tyres in stock, meaning you can get your tyres fitted and back on the road quickly.

4. Professional Installation: Local tyre suppliers not only sell tyres but also offer professional installation services, ensuring that your new tyres are mounted and balanced correctly. This is critical for maintaining optimal tyre performance and preventing uneven wear.

5. Support for Local Business: Choosing a local car tyre supplier in Galashiels means you’re supporting your community. Local businesses contribute to the local economy and often provide more personalised customer service than large, faceless corporations.

How to Choose the Right Tyre Supplier in Galashiels

With several tyre suppliers in the Galashiels area, it can be difficult to choose the right one. Here are some factors to consider when selecting a tyre supplier:

1. Reputation: Ask friends, family, or coworkers for recommendations or read online reviews to find out which suppliers in Galashiels are known for providing quality tyres and excellent customer service.

2. Range of Tyres: A good supplier should offer a wide range of tyre types and brands to suit different vehicles and budgets. If a supplier only stocks a limited selection, you may not find the best option for your needs.

3. Pricing: While it’s important to find a tyre supplier that offers competitive prices, don’t automatically choose the cheapest option. Balance the cost of tyres with their quality and the level of customer service provided by the supplier.

4. Customer Support: Look for suppliers who offer after-sales support, such as free tyre inspections or discounts on future purchases. This can help ensure you get the most value out of your purchase.

5. Professional Installation Services: Ensure the supplier offers professional tyre fitting and balancing services. Improperly installed tyres can lead to poor handling and uneven wear, which can shorten the lifespan of your tyres.

Maximizing the Lifespan of Your Tyres

Once you’ve selected the right tyres and supplier, it’s important to take care of your tyres to maximise their lifespan. Regular maintenance such as wheel alignment, tyre rotations, and maintaining proper air pressure can help prevent premature wear and ensure your tyres perform at their best.

Additionally, it’s important to check your tyres regularly for signs of damage or wear. If you notice any unusual bulges, cracks, or a decrease in tread depth, it may be time to replace them. Most car tyre suppliers in Galashiels will offer free tyre inspections to help you monitor the condition of your tyres.

Conclusion

Choosing the right car tyre supplier in Galashiels is an important step in ensuring your vehicle’s performance and safety. By selecting a local supplier with expert knowledge of the area’s roads and weather conditions, you can enjoy personalised service, quality tyres, and professional installation. Whether you need all-season tyres for daily commuting or winter tyres for icy roads, a trusted local supplier will guide you to the right choice and help you get the most value for your money.

Take the time to research your options, and you’ll discover that the best car tyre suppliers in Galashiels offer not just tyres but peace of mind for every mile ahead.

The Impact of User-Generated Content on Automotive Brand Reputation

One of the most profound changes has been the rise of user-generated content (UGC) and its impact on brand reputation, particularly in the automotive industry. This article explores how UGC shapes consumer perceptions, influences brand loyalty, and ultimately affects the reputation of automotive brands.

Understanding User-Generated Content

User-generated content encompasses a wide range of media created by consumers rather than brands themselves. This includes reviews, social media posts, blogs, videos, and images shared on platforms like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. In the automotive sector, UGC can include anything from customer reviews of vehicles to user-submitted videos showcasing their experiences with a car model.

The significance of UGC lies in its authenticity. Consumers increasingly trust peer reviews and personal experiences over traditional advertising. According to studies, nearly 79% of people say user-generated content highly impacts their purchasing decisions. This shift emphasizes the importance of understanding how UGC can enhance or damage a brand’s reputation.

UGC and Brand Trust

Brand trust is a critical component of brand reputation. In the automotive industry, where purchases often involve significant financial investment and long-term commitment, trust plays an even more pivotal role. UGC can foster trust in several ways:

Authenticity: Content created by real users offers an authentic perspective that resonates more deeply with potential buyers. For example, a video review of a new vehicle model by an everyday consumer can provide insights that polished advertisements may not capture.

Transparency: When brands encourage UGC, they demonstrate confidence in their products. For instance, companies that showcase customer reviews—both positive and negative—signal transparency, which can enhance credibility.

Community Engagement: Brands that actively engage with customers on social media platforms create a sense of community. Responding to comments or sharing user content can strengthen relationships with consumers and build trust.

However, UGC can also pose risks. Negative reviews or critical posts can spread quickly online, potentially damaging a brand’s reputation if not addressed promptly. For example, if a user posts about a safety concern regarding a particular vehicle model, it can influence public perception significantly and may require immediate action from the brand to mitigate any fallout.

Influence on Brand Loyalty

UGC not only affects brand perception but also plays a vital role in fostering brand loyalty. Loyal customers are more likely to create content that positively reflects their experiences with a brand. Automotive brands can leverage this by encouraging satisfied customers to share their stories.

Customer Advocacy: Enthusiastic customers often become brand advocates, creating content that showcases their positive experiences. This advocacy is powerful; studies show that consumers are four times more likely to buy when referred by a friend.

Incentivization: Brands can incentivize UGC through contests or campaigns that encourage customers to share their experiences. For example, an automotive brand might run a campaign asking users to post photos of their cars on road trips, showcasing how their vehicles fit into real-life adventures.

Emotional Connection: When customers share their stories, they create an emotional connection with the brand that goes beyond the product itself. This emotional bond can lead to increased loyalty as consumers feel part of a community or movement associated with the brand.

The Role of Social Media

Social media platforms are the primary channels for UGC in the automotive industry. Brands must navigate these platforms carefully to manage their reputation effectively.

Monitoring: Companies need to actively monitor social media for mentions of their brand and respond accordingly. Tools for social listening can help brands track sentiment and engagement levels regarding their products.

Engagement Strategies: Engaging with users who post about their experiences—whether positive or negative—can help brands manage their reputation. Acknowledging criticism and showing a willingness to resolve issues can turn negative experiences into opportunities for improvement.

Content Sharing: Promoting user-generated content on official brand channels can reinforce positive sentiments and encourage further engagement. For instance, showcasing customer testimonials or featuring user-created content in advertisements can enhance credibility.

Case Studies

Several automotive brands have successfully harnessed UGC to bolster their reputations:

Ford: Ford has utilized UGC through campaigns like “Ford Social,” which invites users to share their Ford experiences on social media. This initiative has helped create a community of Ford enthusiasts who actively engage with the brand.

Chevrolet: Chevrolet launched the “Chevy Showcase” campaign, encouraging customers to post photos and stories about their vehicles. The company effectively used this content in marketing efforts to highlight real customer experiences.

Tesla: Tesla relies heavily on its community for advocacy and support. Tesla owners frequently share their experiences online, contributing to the brand's strong reputation for innovation and customer satisfaction.

Challenges and Risks

Despite its advantages, utilizing UGC comes with challenges:

Negative Content: Negative reviews or complaints can go viral quickly, leading to reputational damage if not handled properly.

Quality Control: Brands have less control over the content produced by users, which can sometimes lead to misleading or harmful portrayals.

Legal Issues: Brands must be cautious about copyright and intellectual property rights when sharing user-generated content.

Conclusion

User-generated content significantly influences automotive brand reputation by shaping consumer perceptions, building trust, and fostering loyalty. As the digital landscape continues to evolve, brands must adapt their strategies to engage with consumers effectively while managing potential risks associated with UGC.

By embracing UGC as part of their marketing and reputation management strategies, automotive brands can enhance their image and build lasting relationships with consumers based on trust and authenticity. In an industry where reputation is paramount, leveraging the power of user-generated content is not just advantageous, it is essential for success in today’s competitive market.

Why You Should Choose a Genuine Car Accessory Store: Quality, Reliability, and Value

When it comes to upgrading or customizing your vehicle, finding the right car accessories is essential. Whether you're looking to enhance your car's functionality, style, or comfort, the decision to invest in quality accessories should not be taken lightly. For many car owners, the question arises: Should I buy from a generic retailer or opt for a genuine car accessory store? In this blog, we'll explore why choosing a genuine car accessory store is always the best option for your vehicle's performance, safety, and longevity.

What is a Genuine Car Accessory Store?

A genuine car accessory store is typically an authorized retailer that sells OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) accessories specifically designed for your make and model of car. These stores offer parts and accessories that are manufactured to the original specifications of the vehicle, ensuring a perfect fit, optimal performance, and high safety standards. You’ll usually find these stores either linked to car dealerships or as official online retailers representing the brand.

Why Genuine Car Accessories Matter

When considering upgrades or replacements for your vehicle, the quality and compatibility of the accessory are crucial. Here’s why genuine car accessories are superior:

1. Perfect Fit and Compatibility

Genuine accessories are designed specifically for your car’s make and model, meaning you don’t have to worry about whether a part will fit or function as intended. Whether it's a roof rack, floor mats, or even a tech upgrade like a new infotainment system, genuine accessories are built to integrate seamlessly with your car's existing systems and design. This not only saves you from the hassle of trying to make adjustments, but it also ensures the accessory works properly from the start.

2. High Quality and Durability

Genuine car accessories are manufactured to meet stringent quality standards set by the car's manufacturer. They are built from premium materials and are tested rigorously to ensure they last as long as your vehicle. Unlike aftermarket accessories, which may vary widely in quality, genuine accessories offer durability and resilience, making them a better long-term investment.

3. Maintains Warranty and Resale Value

Installing non-genuine or aftermarket accessories can sometimes void your vehicle’s warranty, which can lead to costly repairs if things go wrong. By purchasing from a genuine car accessory store, you ensure that your warranty remains intact. Furthermore, when the time comes to sell your vehicle, having installed genuine accessories can increase the car's resale value, as buyers are often more confident in a vehicle that has been fitted with high-quality, manufacturer-approved parts.

4. Safety Standards

Safety is a critical factor in vehicle maintenance and customization. Genuine accessories are tested and certified by the manufacturer to meet or exceed safety standards. This is especially important when it comes to parts like seat covers, child seats, or lighting kits, where any compromise could lead to serious consequences on the road. With genuine parts, you can be confident that your accessories won’t jeopardize the safety of your vehicle or passengers.

5. Latest Innovations and Technologies

Vehicle manufacturers are constantly innovating, and genuine accessory stores often offer the latest in-car technologies and features. Whether it’s a new infotainment system, advanced GPS navigation, or safety upgrades like reversing cameras and parking sensors, these accessories are designed to enhance your driving experience with cutting-edge features tailored to your vehicle’s specifications.

Popular Genuine Accessories to Consider

Whether you own a Honda, Toyota, BMW, or any other brand, there are a variety of genuine accessories that can upgrade your vehicle’s look, functionality, and comfort. Some of the most popular categories include:

All-Weather Floor Mats: Protect your vehicle’s interior from dirt, water, and wear with mats that are designed to fit perfectly in your vehicle’s footwells.

Roof Racks and Carriers: Ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, these accessories can add significant storage space for luggage, bikes, kayaks, or skis.

In-Car Technology: Upgrade your vehicle’s entertainment system, add GPS navigation, or install a rear-seat entertainment package for long trips.

Body Kits and Spoilers: Enhance your car’s style and aerodynamics with factory-designed body kits, spoilers, and other exterior enhancements.

Tow Bars: For those who need to tow a trailer or caravan, genuine tow bars are built to withstand heavy loads and integrate with your car’s systems.

Benefits of Shopping from a Genuine Car Accessory Store

1. Expert Guidance

Genuine car accessory stores often employ staff that are experts in their brand, meaning they can provide detailed advice on which accessories are right for your specific model. This ensures you make informed decisions and avoid unnecessary or incompatible purchases.

2. Warranty Coverage

Most genuine accessories come with a manufacturer-backed warranty, providing peace of mind that, in the rare event of a defect or failure, you’ll be covered. Aftermarket accessories may not offer the same level of warranty protection.

3. Convenience

Shopping at a genuine accessory store—whether in person at a dealership or online—provides a hassle-free experience. Accessories are organized by vehicle model, making it easy to find exactly what you need without the guesswork. Plus, installation services may be offered by the dealer, ensuring the accessory is fitted correctly.

4. After-Sales Support

When you buy from an official accessory store, you benefit from the manufacturer’s customer service and after-sales support. Whether you need help with installation, troubleshooting, or replacing a part under warranty, genuine stores typically provide top-tier support compared to generic retailers.

Conclusion

Investing in genuine car accessories is a smart move for any vehicle owner who values quality, safety, and longevity. By choosing a genuine car accessory store, you’re ensuring that your vehicle remains in peak condition while benefiting from the latest technologies and innovations. Whether you’re looking for style, comfort, or functionality upgrades, genuine accessories provide the perfect balance of reliability and value. So, next time you need an accessory for your car, don’t settle for less—choose genuine for peace of mind and exceptional performance.
