[ MIGUEL BERNARDEAU, 23, CIS MAN, HE/HIM, BISEXUAL ] – welcome to the love island villa, NATHANIEL DELATORRE! they’re a COLLEGE STUDENT from NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK and they’re the SYBARITE. people describe them as IRRESPONSIBLE AND RECKLESS, but once you get to know them they’re OPEN-MINDED AND CHARMING. i’d recognize them by their ( constant habit of biting his lower lip when he’s anxious, inappropriate comments at the worst of times, the softness of his smile when he thinks nobody’s watching ). honestly, i think they’re really here for LOVE. (sam, 24, they/them) 

♡ CHARACTER PARALLELS — Jackie Burkhart ( That 70′s Show ) + Joey Tribbiani ( F.R.I.E.N.D.S. ) + Marissa Cooper ( The O.C. ) + Michael Kelso ( That 70′s Show ) + Logan Huntzberger ( Gilmore Girls ) + Cher Horowitz ( Clueless ) + Peter Quill ( Marvel Comics ) + Rachel Green ( F.R.I.E.N.D.S. ) + Ron Weasley ( Harry Potter ) + Romeo Montague ( Romeo & Juliet )

TW: alcohol, sex, drugs, anxiety.

ok, so! basically, nathaniel grew up in new york city. his mother was a gold digger (and never tried to hide it or felt ashamed of it), and she was married about 5 times before nathaniel moved out to the south for college. he only has two half-siblings on his mother’s side, though, as though his mom didn’t truly get attached to her husbands, she did want to be able to pay enough attention to all her kids. 

nathaniel takes after her a whole lot, and it might be why his father (who’s always insisted in playing a part in nate’s life) is constantly rolling his eyes at him and sighing in disappointment. nate’s parents’ marriage didn’t exactly end happily lmao. nowadays, they can be in the same room as each other, but they DO quite enjoy subtly insulting each other whenever they can. nathaniel doesn’t really care, though. he’s close to his mother, and to his father, of whom he’s the only child, and so as long as they don’t like, kill each other or something, he doesn’t really give a fuck whether or not they like each other. they like him, and that’s good enough for nate.

nate loves luxuries so damn much. his dad comes from a very rich family, and works in the banking industry, and is, um, rich as hell. he’s also somewhat young, having gotten nate’s mother’s pregnant when he was twenty-one years old and she was twenty-three.

nowadays, nate’s dad is married to an international lawyer from france who works at the un, and nate gets along with her really well. his mom’s husband, on the other hand? not so much. he’s always complaining about something, seemingly never happy and quite selfish, and nate just...... doesn’t like his vibe.

coming back to luxuries because i started talking about those and got distracted, yeah!!!! nate’s always gonna want the most expensive thing on the menu, without even seeing the prices. he loves fancy(tm) things, and is just!!!!!! a big fan of being rich. not such a big fan of working to get money though, so i was this close to writing that he participated in the show for the money, but i’m gonna be 100% honest with you: deep down, hidden among all these layers of a partying disaster, he is 100% a hopeless romantic.

loves attention!!!!!!!! loves being the centre of attention!!!!!! loves partying and making scenes (both positive and negative) and attracting attention to him!!!!!!! he loves having people’s eyes on him, and like!!!!!!

DRUGS/SEX/ALCOHOL/ANXIETY TW. sometimes feels somewhat stilted when he’s partying (he does have undiagnosed anxiety) and so he does like drinking and getting high a lot to feel more free to do whatever the hell he wants and feel no restrictions. when he’s drunk/high, he especially loves hooking up, and just!!!!! he loves hooking up when he’s sober too, but drunk and/or high nate hooking up isn’t rare tm.

tennis!!!!!! he’s a tennis player and though he doesn’t know yet if he’ll ever be good enough to be famous and get the attention he wants, he hasn’t given up on it yet. he plays in college, which he still attends as he keeps on changing his major, bc he’s highkey scared of entering the real world (relatable), so!!!!! still in college!!!!! and like????? hiGHKEY competitive!!!!!!! bc he wants to be the best because that means more attention and stuff hehe. (sorry i started saying hehe ironically and now i cant stop ergoieroigerijgerji hehe)

yeah i think that’s what matters most rn!!!!! i’m about to start working on his about page right here, but i wanted to post the intro first <333333
