blurb On Earth-127, Mark is an ordinary biomed major at Neo Culture Institute of Technology, but when he’s not studying for class, he’s out saving New York City as Spider-Man. The job is hard, but he manages it. It also doesn’t hurt that his new friend is just his type.

author’s note !! HAPPY belated MFING BIRTHDAY TO MY BEAUTIFUL BOYF MARK LEE. i meant to post this right after 200 came out, then for his birthday, and now it’s finally finished as an early birthday present for myself… this is very much self-indulgent.

a passion project if you will. i hope there are others that also have spider-mark brain rot. ESPECIALLY AFTER 200!!! it was bad before like in the ncit house video, but it’s even worse now. a real labor of love except everything i do is a labor of love because why would i write about something i’m not passionate about in my free time.

this is FICTION!!!!! everything is made up by me or inspired by the mcu spider-man movies, ncit house video, & mark’s 200 music video. the stuff written out is not meant to be a representation of the people, places, or ideas mentioned.

Mark loves his job.

Nothing made him happier than donning the red and blue one-piece suit with the arachnoid symbol on the center of the chest and pulling down the matching mask. He was pretty proud of his sewing skills. Hopefully the elderly owner of the downtown fabric store never puts the puzzle pieces together.

He was still fairly new to being Spider-Man – only being bitten at the beginning of last semester and using the summer to work out the kinks – this spring semester would show his improvement.

His school schedule was class schedule was calm with classes only on Tuesday and Thursday in the morning and evening with the rest online. With the perfect amount of time throughout busy days to sneak away to patrol the city. The rest of the weekdays were dedicated to working at the college radio station. It allowed Mark to work around his own schedule as he could pre-record segments and cue up pre-made playlists.

The morning of the first day of the new semester was looking like an average day, helping civilians with minimal tasks like crossing busy streets and saving pets in trees.

Swinging to university was his favorite form of transportation as it was convenient but at the same time fun as sailing through the air was incomparable to any other experience. Mark landed on the roof of the old bell tower as he quickly changed into a pair of clothes he stashed in a hidden backpack on the ceiling ledge. Nothing too exciting, just a maroon tee, brown cargo pants, and black converse. He made quick work to stash his suit inside his backpack and slung it over his shoulder.

He walked down the spiral staircase as he put on his headphones and checked his phone.

johnny dude r u coming to shoot some hoops?

jaehyun are we playing basketball or should I skip for football practice?

mark be there in 5

Mark raced across the university lawn, passing unassuming students that would never know his secret. The early morning hours provided more security for his secret as most people around him were either too busy rushing to their 8 AM lecture or too tired from pulling another all-nighter.

When he reached the basketball courts, Mark tucked his bag in between Jaehyun’s massive athletic bag and Johnny’s decked out in pins and patches. The duo was goofing off with a basketball as they made obnoxious moves before shooting for the hoop.

“Hey guys, sorry I’m late.”

Johnny pauses as he turns toward his best friend before tossing the ball. Mark effortlessly catches it due to his built-up reflexes from stopping local crimes.

“Yo guess who finally decided to show up.” Johnny remarks as Mark makes a 3 pointer.

Jaehyun and Johnny both share a look as the former greets Mark, “You’ve gotten really good at basketball in a short amount of time… like crazy good.”

“Yeah man. You used to not be able to even get the ball in while standing still, but now you’re even better than Mr. Team Captain over here.”

Mark shrugs as he dribbles the ball, “I’m not even close to Jaehyun’s level, dude. He’s the best player.”

“Okay then go to the other side of the court and make it in.”

Mark looks at Johnny as Jaehyun chugs some water but gives in as he walks to the end of the court.

Mark is pretty sure that his sharp reflexes only work for short distances or when he’s out being Spider-Man, so the dare shouldn’t tip his best friends off. Mark dribbles the ball a bit before throwing the ball in the direction of the hoop.

Luckily, the ball goes over the hoop and proving to Johnny and Jaehyun that he still sucks at basketball, but unluckily almost hits a passerby.

You.

“Airball!”

You turn to the source of the noise as you let out a surprised yell as you duck to avoid the rouge basketball, falling to the ground and letting out a string of curses. Mark rushes over after his Spidey senses went off, shooting a ball of webs to knock it off its course of hitting you.

“Are you okay?”

You look up to see a concerned Mark as he helps you up, “Dude, I am so sorry. That could have ended really badly. Did you get hurt? Do you need to go to the hospital?”

Johnny and Jaehyun follow Mark to check up on you as you stare at the 3 attractive men paying too much attention to you.

“I’m okay, really. I didn’t even get hit. Just was caught off guard.”

The trio are unconvinced as they inspect your arms and head. Mark is focused on checking for any injury – even a millimeter of a scratch – on your right arm as Jaehyun checks the range of motion on your left arm and Johnny is asking you how many fingers he’s holding up.

“I’m not hurt, but I’ll still get checked up the clinic.” You bargain to get the attractive strangers to stop dotting over you.

“I’ll walk you!” Mark volunteers as he grabs your backpack off the floor and waves bye to his friends. Johnny and Jaehyun refuse to leave until they exchange their number with you to check up but also to make it up to you later. You tell them that it’s not necessary, but the pair insist as Mark gets you to leave.

He quickly introduces himself and you do it in return. Walking to the clinic was peaceful as both you and Mark’s steps were in sync. The crisp spring air helped calm your nerves. You know that you weren’t hurt but it would be best to get a check-up by a nurse.

“I’m really sorry again.”

“Apology accepted.”

“Let’s just get you to the clinic.”

₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸｡

After a quick check-up with a nurse, you are deemed “okay” with no external or internal injuries. Mark gives you back your backpack as you thank him and are returned with another long string of apologies.

“Here, let me – no us – make it up to you.” Mark opens his phone to create a group chat between the four of you.

            we’re sorry

            mark if ur free this week we would like to buy u lunch

            bc dinner sounds like a date

            not that we wouldn’t date u

            u seem great !

            this is mark btw

            johnny what mark is trying to say is that we don’t want to make you uncomfortable

but we also want to make it up to you so lunch this week - johnny

            jaehyun it’s jaehyun i know a great café w vegan options

            you you guys really don’t have to make it up to me

            i’m okay !! a nurse checked me

            johnny thank god ur not hurt

“So, are you free this week?”

You look away from your phone at Mark staring at you. You quickly look away at the students walking past you. You feel nervous as Mark is cute and being near him is not helping your poor heart.

“Yeah, I can do Wednesday or this weekend.”

You have to work Monday, Wednesday, and Friday with your two in-person classes on the other days and your two fully online classes spread throughout the week. Luckily, working at the bookstore on campus was flexible and allowed you to complete homework whenever you had free time.

“I know this is an annoying question, but what’s your year and major?”

“I’m a sophomore majoring in Health Sciences.”

Mark’s eyes light up, “I’m a sophomore too! But I’m a Biomed major. We’re kinda in similar majors.”

“We might even have a class together.” You joke and let out a laugh, but your mouth shuts as Mark has his printed schedule in hands and extended in your direction.

Your joke turns out to be true as you both share the same evening class on Tuesday and Thursday. Which is a good thing because at least you know someone in that class. A friend possibly.

“Do you work?”

“I work at the radio, so if you ever tune into 27.1 FM you will hear playlists I put together.”

“Ugh, that sounds like such a fun job. I work at the bookstore. I mean, don’t get me wrong I like it there, but it’s never busy for my shifts.”

A notification on Mark’s phone makes him freeze up, but before you can ask what’s wrong he quickly bids you goodbye as he rushes off. You decide to head to work and hope that nothing else out of the ordinary happens today.

On the plus side, your shared class with Mark has been going well so far. During the first class the day after you met him, you got to the classroom early and saved him a seat.

You watch as people slowly trickle into class as you held out a small hope that Mark would want to sit next to you. The class was almost full with just a handful of seats left – two directly in front of the professor’s podium, one in the very back by the other door, and the one you’ve been saving. He arrives at the last minute, and you watch him scan the room, hopefully looking for you, but once your eyes meet and Mark grins, your heart started racing.

Squeezing between people already in their seats, he reaches the open seat as you move your backpack from the chair to under the table. The professor starts the first day lecture of going over the syllabus, but you tune them out as your attention was… elsewhere.

Mark sits next to you, typing on his laptop as the professor talks. His outfit is a simple green hoodie with tan cargo pants and beat up black converse, yet the outfit compliments him. His hair is fluffy and a little messy as he runs his hand through it in an attempt to fix it. You notice that he’s breathing hard like he ran to get to class. You reach into your backpack to grab your water bottle and place it next to his hand. Mark pauses from typing notes as you turn your head back to the professor.

“Thanks.” He mumbles as he drinks the water.

“Don’t worry, I have another water bottle in my car. You can just give it back to me next class.” You whisper back while pretending to be interested in the professor’s grading policy.

When the second class rolls around, you’re surprised to see Mark is the first person in class, sitting in the same spot with his backpack on the seat you were sitting in last time and your water bottle on the table.

Saturday is the only day you are all free for lunch. Jaehyun, who keeps telling you to call him Jae, promises that this lunch will be the best lunch of your life and how he knows a worker. He’s brought it up every time he saw you while you were working. Johnny was no help either as he kept asking you super specific questions you would have no idea how to answer.

Johnny leans on a display table full of notebooks while flipping through a psychology textbook, “What kind of wood is this table?”

You let out another deep sigh as you put on your customer service voice to answer yet another question from Johnny Suh. “Sorry, I don’t know.”

“Do you know someone who would?”

Johnny smirks as he puts on his sunglasses. You turn around to reshelve new chemistry textbooks when a tap on your shoulder has you seeing Jaehyun holding a cookbook open.

“Do you like” He turns the cookbook back to himself as he squints, “Maultaschen?”

“What do you know about Germany?”

Jaehyun closes the cookbook as he shoots you his best dimpled smile, “Nothing.”

“Guys, I’m trying to work.”

“Yeah, and we’re being customers.”

Johnny sasses you as he pushes the cart of textbooks away from you. “Don’t pretend that we don’t make your shifts better.”

You can’t argue that because it is true, but you’re also afraid that your boss might think you’re slacking and goofing around with friends on the clock.

“I do love it when you guys come see me while I’m working, but I don’t want my boss to think I’m slacking.”

Jaehyun leans on your shoulder as he looks around the empty bookstore. “Bro, you’re the best employee here by far, but if your boss thinks otherwise, we can give a good review.”

“You? Slacking?” Johnny lets out a laugh as puts some textbooks on the highest shelf. “Slacking is scared of you. And Spider-Man.”

“Here he goes.” Jaehyun rolls his eyes as Johnny scoffs.

“Spider-Man is the coolest superhero ever. I’m jealous of all the people that get to see him work in real time.”

“Spider-Man?”

Johnny’s jaw drops, “Yo… you don’t know Spider-Man? You know, the masked guy in blue and red and has a spider sign on his chest. Stops bank robbers and saves people in car crashes. The friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?”

“Oh… his name is Spider-Man?”

“Yeah. I don’t wanna brag, but” Johnny leans closer to you, “I basically coined the name. The story’s really cool and super long, so I’ll save it for lunch.”

The other brunette fixes his backpack straps, “I should head to basketball practice soon, but we’ll text you later with the details. See you tomorrow.”

The duo leaves you to finish your tasks, but with less work as they helped while talking to you. You can’t help fighting the smile on your face at the idea of having plans with friends.

Lunch! With friends! Friends that you made in university and not the same friends you had back home that you knew from elementary school.

Maybe things were looking up for you.

Spider-Man business had never been easier. Petty thefts had gone down. The city was running smoothly like normal, which was great for Mark as he could focus on schoolwork and improving his swinging skills.

Currently, the vigilante was patrolling the city on the lookout for any danger. Nothing was coming through the crime watch app connected to his watch. He has 10 more minutes until lunch with Johnny, Jaehyun, and You.

Once he reaches the café building’s rooftop, Mark drops down and enters through the stairwell door going directly into the janitor’s room to change. The doors are unlocked, which is not the safest but it’s convenient for Mark, he quickly changes into a white tee, light wash jeans, and the same black converse. The suit and mask are stuffed into his backpack as he goes back out to the roof to web down to the ground to enter through the café entrance like a normal person.

He's constantly on the lookout as he drops down near the trash bins. When he walks in, Mark is the first out of your group to arrive. He snags a booth in the corner as he checks his phone.

            we’re sorry

            mark i got us a booth

            jaehyun be there in 5

            image attached

Mark smiles at the selfie Jaehyun took with him and Johnny on either side of you. Jaehyun does a peace sign pose, Johnny is making a kissy face, and you’re just softly smiling. A smile that Mark Lee cannot look away from.

“What are you looking at?”

Mark gets spooked by you as Johnny and Jaehyun slide into the opposite side leaving you to sit next to him. He quickly locks his phone as his roommates give him teasing looks.

The server, Na Jaemin from fraternity Dream, hands out menus and readies his tablet. “Hi. Can I get you all started with any drinks?”

“2 vanilla iced coffees, 1 mango smoothie, and 1 ice matcha latte with coconut milk.” Johnny easily recites as Jaemin types it.

“I’ll be back with those as you look over the menu.”

As Jaemin walks away, you look surprised at Johnny, “How did you know my drink order?”

“You’ve sent a selfie with the same drink the past three days.”

You slump back against the cushion. “That’s embarrassing.”

“Not as embarrassing as Johnny thinking he named Spider-Man.”

Mark tenses at the mention of his other identity. He steals a glance in your direction to see if you noticed, but you’re too busy watching his friends start bickering.

“Bro! I totally did!”

“No, dude. You did not.”

Before the duo can start up another pointless fight, you remind Johnny of his story time.

“At least someone’s interested. As I was saying before, it was early October last year and I was walking to the subway when this massive car crash happened in front of me. I thought I was going to get killed, but then I was suddenly out of the way. Some dude in spandex had pulled me out of the way of one of the cars and then he started pulling people out of the wreck. He even jumped over a 10-ton truck. It was insane. After the fire department and ambulance came to help, the dude shot out a web and it came to me, “Spider-Man”, so I yelled that, and he turned around to give me a thumbs up before swinging away. So basically Spider-Man owes me for that copyright, but I’ll let it slide because he saved my life.”

Mark laughs at Johnny’s retelling of the story because of the way he tells people. The superhero was just glad that he had the spidey sense to save one of his best friends.

Jaemin comes back with the drinks and takes food orders.

“Spider-Man is cool. I’m a fan.”

Mark chokes on the first sip of his smoothie from your casual confession as Johnny high fives you.

“Why do you like the Spider Boy?” Jaehyun questions you. Mark sits up slightly straighter in his seat as he focuses all his attention on your answer.

“Do you remember that major subway incident where some asshole pushed that lady onto the tracks?”

The guys nod their heads.

“I was waiting for the train when it happened. I didn’t see the asshole that did it as I was on my phone, but then the frantic yelling of people started and some good samaritans trying to help the lady off the tracks. Then, all of the sudden, Spider-Man runs in and saves her. Thank god he did before the train arrived and he calmed her down while she told him about the person who did it. I just remember feeling so useless but wanting to do more.”

Mark looks over at you as you stir your drink with a spoon, his heart sinking as he remembers. It was the first time he became a hero. The first person he saved – Ms. Smith works at the corner flower shop that his mom loves.

“And I even… never mind.”

“No finish your sentence.”

“Johnny’s going to make fun of me.”

“I won’t let him.”

“Well, I kinda have a crush on him.” You immediately put your head between your arms on the table in an effort to hide away.

Mark freezes at your confession as Jaehyun lets out an “awe” and Johnny’s jaw drops.

“You like Spider-Man?”

“I know. How do you even like a person when you’ve never seen their face, but it’s his personality. In every story about him saving or helping others, he’s always described as the nicest person ever.”

Mark’s ears are turning red from the compliment. He would have asked for what else you thought about Spider-Man, but Jaemin came back with their orders.

“Yo Jaehyun, are you coming to DREAM’s party Friday?”

“I should be free next week if that invitation extends to my friends.”

“Any friend of Jaehyun’s is a friend of mine. Can you get the football team to bring kegs again? Haechan’s throwing the party this time and he won’t shut the fuck up about it.”

“I can get the guys together to do that. I’ll text him.”

“Thanks man. Enjoy your food, guys.”

₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸｡

You and Mark meet up and walk to class together. He fills you in on all the bullshit Johnny and Jaehyun got into over the weekend. Something about making a short film where they switch bodies and tried to get Mark to film it.

Before you both can enter the building where your class is, the distant sound of sirens gets closer. You ignore it as you go to open the door, but Mark stops you.

“I, um, have a family emergency so I’ll miss class. Text me. Bye.” Mark weirdly stammers before giving you a quick hug.

You’re left standing in shock as he runs away.

Mark runs to the dumpster behind the university as he quickly changes into his suit. He stuffs his clothes in his backpack and webs it to a lamppost before heading into action. His spidey sense alerted him as soon as the sirens passed, and the app informed him of a fire in an apartment complex a street up.

Once he swings onto the scene, firefighters are battling the fire and evacuating the building. Mark propels himself to the top floor to check for any civilians.

You’re concerned about Mark as he left abruptly and isn’t responding to any of your texts.

            you i hope your family emergency isn’t too serious

            just let me know you’re ok!

            we didn’t do too much in class, but i’ll send my notes

            going to the library after class to print something for a class

You’ve never been to the library at 10 PM on a Tuesday night, but there’s a first time for everything. It was shitty that your printer in your dorm had to stop working last night. The first floor of the library was unsurprisingly packed with students as the university’s coffee shop was adjoined and open until 2 AM.

You got into the elevator as the printers were located on the fourth floor. The fourth floor was empty because most people preferred to keep electronic files electronic, but of course your morning class’ professor made the class print their papers to turn in.

Printing the paper was a quick task. There was certainly no line to wait in. You tuck the sacred 5-page paper into a folder to keep pristine and leave the library. You check your phone again for any word from Mark, but nothing. You go to call him, but then the elevator jerks to a stop as the light shuts off. You press the emergency call button and wait for an operator. You try calling Mark again, but your phone can’t get cell service and your battery’s dying.

Sinking to your knees, you hang your head between your hands as the ringing becomes background noise.

₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸｡

Mark rushes back to university after the fire, swiftly changing back and shoving his suit into his bag. He checks his phone to see the texts from you and calls you. When your call goes immediately to voicemail, he knows something is wrong.

The hair on the back of his neck stands up and Mark books it to the library. The first floor is filled with chatter and students looking normal so he knows that only you must be in trouble. He goes to the elevators where there’s a student waiting for one.

“Are you waiting for the elevator?”

The girl looks up from texting, “Yup, the other one isn’t working again. Ugh so annoying.”

Fuck.

The other elevator returns and Mark steps in with the girl. She presses the next floor and goes back to her phone.

A million scenarios play out in Mark’s mind. Were you claustrophobic? How long have you been stuck in the elevator? Were you alone?

The silent ride was eating him alive as every second felt like an eternity.

When the doors open and Mark basically throws himself out of the elevator as the girl walks around him, judging. Mark’s senses aren’t going off on the second or third floor, he goes up again.

The second the elevator starts moving up to the fourth floor, his senses kick in. When the doors open, Mark calls out your name. When your muffled voice responds from the neighboring elevator he sighs in relief.

“Mark, can you help me?”

“Is help on the way?”

“No.” Mark starts freaking out. “The emergency button doesn’t work, and my phone died a little while ago, but it wouldn’t even help because my service wasn’t working.”

“Why didn’t you call 911?”

“I’m not dying or in serious trouble!”

“W-what? This is an emergency! Hold on let me get someone!”

Mark runs down the hallway and quick changes into Spider-Man. He shoves his backpack behind a printer in the back corner and runs back to you.

Mark clears his throat before speaking in a lower tone, “Hi!”

“Um hi?”

“I’m going to open the elevator doors, so please stand back!”

“Okay!”

Mark places his hands in the middle of both doors as he pushes the doors open by force. After getting them open he holds out a hand to you as you look at him, well Spider-Man, in shock.

“Spider-Man?”

“Are you okay?”

You feebly nod as you allow Mark to pull you towards him.

“Are you sure you’re fine? I can take you to a clinic.”

You shake your head as Mark leads you down the stairs to the first floor while calming you down, passing confused or excited students. When both of you reach the entrance, Mark tells a skeptical security guard about the broken elevator.

Mark is about to swing away to change when you grab his hand. “Did you see my friend? He has brown hair, brown eyes, wearing a yellow hoodie?”

“I sensed there was someone in trouble and he said he was finding a janitor.”

“Thanks, I’ll go find him. And, um, thank you again.”

Mark looks into your eyes full of gratitude and sends you a wave before swinging away. He makes sure to get far enough before u-turning to the back of the library to change. 5 minutes later, he’s running around to the entrance where you are still standing in shock.

Mark pulls you into a hug as you tell him how Spider-Man saved you.

Haechan’s party was tonight, and you had no idea what you were going to wear.

Jaehyun had surprised you at 8 in morning by waking you up, endlessly calling your phone until you told him the password to open the door. A code you were going to immediately change after he leaves.

“Jae, it’s too early for any bullshit.”

He moves his sunglasses from his face to push back his hair, looking dangerously sexy. You have to shield your eyes from his blinding attractiveness.

“I need some help getting the kegs from Jungwoo.”

“Ugh,” You draw out the word as you throw one of your extra pillows at him which he catches, “I don’t want to get up.”

“Okay.” Jaehyun says as he effortlessly picks you up from your bed. “Now you’re up.”

“Put me down, Jeong.”

“Woah, not the last name. Putting you down.”

He gently sets you on your feet from the princess carry he was holding you in.

“I don’t want to know where you’re storing all that muscle to be able to pick me up.”

He smirks, “Wanna see my 8 pack?”

“Absolutely not. Now stand outside in the lobby so I can change.”

You meet him in the lobby after quickly throwing on an oversized shirt and biker shorts. You check over your bag that you have everything you need for the day – your phone, lip balm, sunscreen, your wallet, hand sanitizer, blotting sheets, and your water bottle.

“Okay, I guess I’m ready to tackle the day with you.”

“Don’t worry, we’re not doing anything too crazy.”

“I have very little trust in you at 8:30 AM.”

He puts his free hand on his chest as he fakes getting hurt, “You wound me.”

You roll your eyes in response as you start walking out of your dorm building, Jaehyun following you from behind.

Jaehyun leads the way to the football field as you walk next to him. The walk isn’t too bad and soon enough you hear various guys yelling and spot footballs flying through the air.

“Hey Jungwoo!”

A shirtless, blonde guy jogs up to the you two and dabs Jaehyun up.

“Hey Captain! I thought you weren’t coming to practice until later?” Jungwoo smiles before turning to you, “Oh, and you are?”

You politely introduce yourself as Jungwoo stares into your soul. “It’s a shame I haven’t seen your pretty face around.”

His remark takes you aback as you turn in shock to Jaehyun.

“Right? Imagine my surprise when I saw her for the first time.”

You avoid eye contact, not sure how to respond. “Um… thanks. We’re here to pick up some kegs?”

“Oh right! Let me get Yangyang.”

Jungwoo calls out to another guy behind him, thankfully he is clothed because you don’t know if you could survive another attractive, shirtless guy. He runs up as he greets you.

“I have it in my car, so follow me. Jungwoo, tell coach I went to the nurse or something.”

“Okay!”

Jungwoo jogs off to get back to practice. You and Jaehyun follow Yangyang to his car so he can drop you off at the DREAM frat house. The drive is short since the fraternity and sorority houses are near campus and the sports facilities.

Outside of the DREAM fraternity house on the front lawn are a few guys running around with water guns. The three of you get out of the car, grabbing their attention. Yangyang and Jaehyun wave at them causing one of them to run inside. As the kegs are being unloaded from the trunk, who you presume Haechan is, walks out.

The pretty boy with purple hair waves at you as he takes a hit from his neon green vape. He walks over as he blows a fat cloud into the air and pockets the vape.

He nods his head at you and leans against Yangyang’s car. “Hey.”

“Hi?”

“Are you coming to the party tonight?”

“Yeah?”

“Cool.” He wets his lips as he looks you up and down, “Wear something hot, ‘kay?”

“Okay?”

He gets off Yangyang’s car as he winks at you.

“Thanks for the kegs. I’ll get the guys to bring them into the garage.”

Haechan taps his phone causing the garage door to open showing you the set of workout equipment on the side and a black Porsche parked inside. 2 guys with blonde and Oreo hair come out from the door inside and start moving the kegs.

“Hey Shotaro! Hey Renjun!”

Jaehyun calls out as the frat bros wave back at him.

“So, are you ready to go?” Yangyang stands next to you as you nod. He opens the passenger door for you to get inside. Jaehyun sits smack in the middle in the uncomfortable seat so he can talk to you.

“What next?”

“Our pretty girl might need a shopping trip.”

You felt like the “ugly” but actually stunning main girl whose only transformation is taking off their glasses or hair out from a ponytail and it’s the makeover montage scene in a 2000s romcom. Jaehyun and Yangyang were running around in the local mall piling on different types of clothes into your arms to try on.

Two hours passed by already and you were getting sweaty from trying on the various combinations of tops, skirts or jeans, and dresses. It was annoyingly sweet of Jaehyun and Yangyang, who you just met today, to go out of their way to help you find something to wear.

“Honestly, I could find something in my closet or a thrift store.”

“If we don’t find something in the next 30 minutes I know a good thrift store.” Yangyang throws a black minidress at you and you let it hit your face.

₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸｡

As you walk down the street where Johnny parked while fixing the biker shorts under your dress.

Johnny opens the front door of the fraternity only for you to be greeted by the sight of a hundred or so people engaging in various acts of grinding, making out, drinking, or dancing to whatever playlist DJ Yangyang picked.

“Oh my god.” You walk in as Jaehyun and Johnny tail behind you, making sure to stare down anyone who looks at you in a mean or creepy way.

You smile and wave at Yangyang in the corner of the living room as he motions at your trio to come over. The three of you move through the crowd of people partying and try not to have any kind of alcohol accidentally spilling on your new outfit.

Yangyang removes the headphones from his head to his neck and talks in your ear, “You look hot!”

“Thank you! Can we get you anything?”

“Whatever has the least amount of alc by volume.”

“Got it.”

Johnny, Jaehyun, and You find the kitchen entrance behind Yangyang’s DIY DJ booth and open the various coolers filled with alcohol. Johnny helps you pick out Yangyang’s drink from the sea of canned beverages while Jaehyun gets drinks for you all.

As you walk back to give Yangyang his drink, Haechan is talking to him and spots you getting closer to them.

“Well, aren’t you a sight to behold.”

Haechan holds a handout as you take it, spinning you around him.

“That dress fits you perfectly.”

You shyly thank him as you did feel amazing in the red and black dress you bought at a thrift store after the three of you gave up at the mall earlier, but you hid the dress from them so you could pay for it. Jaehyun couldn’t stop staring at you and Johnny couldn’t stop complimenting you when they picked you up from your dorm. You felt that you needed to donate some of your old clothes to keep the good streak going.

The people around you start yelling and both of your heads turn in the direction of the kitchen when a loud crash is heard.

“Fuck. I bet someone tipped over a keg stand. Gotta go.”

He winks at you as he walks into the kitchen. You look around the room to see that J² are nowhere to be seen.

            you hey!! where did you guys go??

            johnny  we’re upstairs hanging with mark

            johnny jeno and jaemin are coming down to get u

You stand by the end of the staircase as you scroll on your phone when someone taps the back of your shoulder. Turning around to see 2 more beautiful guys as they smile at you. The guy with black hair and an undercut introduces himself as Jeno and the guy with brown hair introduces himself as Jaemin.

J² sent 2J to get you. Funny.

They kindly escort you upstairs, down a hallway on the left, and to the room at the end. The door has a sign that says

“HAECHANNIE’S ROOM!

LADIES - FREE

GUYS - $20”

You knock on the door and walk in after Johnny says it’s open.

“Hey.” You greet Johnny, Jaehyun, and Mark who are sitting on the bed with various drinks and snacks surrounding them. Mark moves a reuseable bag full of chips so you can sit next to him as Jeno and Jaemin sit on beanbags.

“So, how’s the party going for y’all?” You ask the frat bros as you dig into a bag of your favorite chips.

Jeno and Jaemin jump into a story of how Renjun challenged Haechan and Shotaro to a keg stand contest where Shotaro won and Haechan complained the rest of the time setting up. Haechan also must carry out a dare later tonight, but Renjun is keeping it a secret.

During the story, you keep looking at Mark to see his expressions throughout the story time. You like him, you realized this after Spider-Man saved you in the elevator, the way Mark comforted you and stayed with you the entire night. Even sleeping on the pull-out bed attached to your bed that was a little too small for him. Mark was paying attention to the story, but right after 2J finished telling the story, he abruptly gets up and runs out the room.

“Is Mark okay?” You ask bewildered as the rest of the guys are nonchalant.

“Oh yeah, Mark does this a lot.” Jaemin tells you as he takes a sip of his beer.

“Really?”

Johnny nods, “Yeah ever since the start of last year Mark’s been really weird like weirder than usual.”

“And stronger for some reason.” Jaehyun adds. “We started working out together last semester. When he thought I wasn’t looking, he maxed out the bench press. I can’t do that and I’m active in sports.”

“So now we think he’s doing steroids.”

“Dude don’t say that.”

“Kidding,” Johnny says as he looks at you. “But there is something going on… like he’s keeping a secret from us.”

“Are you insinuating that Mark is Spider-Man?”

Johnny shrugs. “I didn’t say that, but I also did not not say that.”

“I think you’ve had to much to drink, dude.”

“I’m literally sober. I have to drive you and Jaehyun home tonight.”

As you’re handing Johnny a bottle of water, Shotaro opens the door.

“Johnny or Jaehyun, can you please talk Haechan out of jumping from the roof into the pool.”

The two oldest guys let out a sigh as they get up to stop Haechan from doing something stupid and getting hurt.

₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸⋆｡₊✩｡🕷˚🕸｡

Your little group stands outside on the pool deck as people crowd around the pool chanting at Haechan to “jump”. Johnny and Jaehyun are sticking their head out of someone’s room scolding a tipsy Haechan who is standing near the ledge. It’s only 7 feet between the roof and the pool, but the pool is another 6 feet to dive into and the entire situation just screams “danger” to you.

Haechan is getting dangerously close to the edge causing Johnny to step out onto the roof as Jaehyun holds one of his hands.

“Haechan, we’re bringing you inside.”

“No.” He puffs a cloud of vape into Johnny’s face.

“You’re being an asshole, get in.”

Haechan’s balance is off because as he steps back a bit, his right foot misses the ledge. You can’t watch. The crowd is yelling. You look away only to see a figure jump over the fence.

Spider-Man thwips a web to put an inflatable pool floatie a foot of the ground with another floatie under it to cushion Haechan’s fall. Thankfully, Haechan falls right on the floatie and is safe from breaking a bone or something worse on the concrete.

“Are you okay?” The masked hero asks Haechan as he helps him stand up and check his body.

An eerily similar situation that mirrors exactly what Mark did when you were almost hit by a basketball.

Rushing over to Haechan, you hug him as you’re actively scolding him.

“Never do that ever again! You could have broken your legs or spine or died!”

“Excuse me.” Spider-Man clears his throat as you turn your head to him. “Are you a friend of his?”

“Yes.”

“It would be best to check that he doesn’t have any injuries and keep him inside.”

“Johnny’s probably going to bubble wrap him now.”

“I have to go now but have a good night.”

Spider-Man waves you and everyone else at the party bye as the crowd cheers for him. He then swings out of DREAM’s backyard as Johnny, Jaehyun, Jeno, and Jaemin meet you outside. They all hug Haechan and scold him as well.

“You’re cut off.”

“Seriously?” Haechan whines.

“From everything. End of discussion.”

Most of the crowd disperses inside to tell or show their friends a video of Spider-Man saving Haechan. You’re putting the pool floaties back in the pool when you almost fall in.

“Hey–woah there!”

You look wide up at Mark, who appeared out of nowhere, holding your waist to stop you from accidentally falling in the pool.

“Mark! Thanks for saving me.”

“Anytime.”

You stand back up away from the pool ledge as you smile at Mark. You notice that he’s sweating a bit.

“Could we head inside? I, um, wanted to ask you something.”

He nods his head as the two of you walk inside and then upstairs where there aren’t that many people. You hear commotion in the hallway that leads to Haechan’s room. You’re both curious, so you walk down the hallway to see Jaehyun standing guard outside his room.

“What is happening?”

“Johnny is inside making sure Haechan can’t escape out his window. Well, if he can get out of the bubble wrap duct taped to his body.”

“Figures. Mark and I are going to talk in someone’s room.”

“Oh?” Jaehyun gives you a look.

“We’re not going to fuck in someone’s bed.”

“Sure it isn’t.”

Mark blushes as you grab his hand to walk away down the other hallway. You spot Shotaro standing outside his door.

“Hey Shotaro! Can we borrow your room to talk quickly?”

“Yeah! Just lock the door after and find me at the DJ booth when you’re done. I don’t want a repeat of the first day of summer party where someone threw up in my bed.”

“Of course, and don’t worry, we won’t fuck in your bed.”

You make Shotaro speechless and Mark blushes even harder. You open the door to Shotaro’s room and get inside. His room is cutely decorated with pictures of him alongside the rest of the fraternity and tiny little trinkets sprinkled throughout. The window is open and as you look out of it you can see that his room overlooks the grassy area beside the pool.

A thought comes into your head as you look at Mark who is sitting on Shotaro’s bed across from you.

“I’ve got a lot to say so please hear me out for its entirety.” He nods his head as you stand in front of him. “Mark, I have a crush on you. I thought you were cute the first time I saw you after that basketball almost took me out. I was so excited when we ended up sharing a class together and you sat next to me the next class after we met. Then when you comforted me after Spider-Man saved me. That was the moment I knew that I liked you. I like you, Mark. Maybe even more than that.”

He stares at you awestruck.

“It’s okay if you don’t like me back. Hope we can still be friends no matter what. I just want you to know.”

“I like you too. A lot. I liked you ever since I almost accidentally hit you with a basketball. I liked you when you were excited when you found out we shared a class. I liked you when you saved a seat for me and let me borrow your water bottle. I was so happy when you were safe from being trapped in an elevator. I really like you and, if you want to, I hope we can date.”

“I would love to date you, Mark, but now I’m going to do something that might ruin our relationship before it even starts?”

Mark looks adorably confused as you walk backwards to stand in front of the window.

“You know that I also have a crush on Spider-Man. And I’ve had this hunch since he saved me in the elevator. I didn’t realize it when it was happening due to the adrenaline, but then thinking back on it – when you left while we were walking to class that one time for a “family emergency” and Spider-Man had been spotted right helping firefighter put out a nearby fire. Then, I got stuck in the library elevator and Spider-Man miraculously came to save me. Sure, it could have been a coincidence since the fire was near the university, but I wasn’t in that dire of a situation. I could’ve waited for you to find me after I texted you. Then, just right now, you leave as we’re talking with 4J then when Haechan is in danger Spider-Man shows up in the nick of time to save him? In every situation I brought up, you were there then gone, Spider-Man shows up then leaves, and then you’re back? Never in the same room to witness the masked hero. Something’s not adding up.”

“Am I Spider-Man?” Mark asks while nervously laughing. “You mean you think I’m Spider-Man?”

“I’d bet my life on it.” You tell him seriously as you sit on the window ledge.

“That’s serious.”

“I am serious.”

You continue getting farther out of the window as you possibly can.

Mark slowly stands up, “What are you doing?”

“If I’m wrong… have 9-1-1 ready.”

You then lean back as you fall out of Shotaro’s window hearing Mark yell your name, you barely have your entire body out the window when you stop moving. Opening your eyes, bunches of white strings surround your head and shoulders – Mark slowly brings you back inside Shotaro’s room.

The silence between the two of you is deafening until you open your mouth.

“I fucking knew it.”

Marks hugs you tightly. “Please… never do that again. You scared me.”

“Do you still like me?”

“D-Do I still like you? Yes, I still like you very much.”

“I scared you that bad, huh?”

“What if I wasn’t Spider-Man? Then what? You fall and die?”

“I wouldn’t have done it unless I was sure. Would a kiss make you feel better?”

“A kiss away from the window and maybe on solid ground would.”

Cryptid Collection Spotlight: The Fresno Nightcrawler

Today we're infodumping about the last of the six cryptids we chose to feature in our Cryptid Collection! Check out our The Cryptid Collection tag to see our previous spotlights and share your own thoughts, feelings, and experiences too!

Our last cryptid spotlight is that viral sensation, the Fresno Nightcrawler.

👣The Cryptid Collection 🦿Fresno Nightcrawler Travel Poster 👖Fresno Nightcrawler Binders & Sportsbras 🧵Fresno Nightcrawler fabric designs

Some sources claim that the first sightings of the Fresno Nightcrawler date back to the 1990's. But it came to the attention of the internet in 2007, back when we didn't really call it "going viral" and YouTube was mostly a repository for random odd video clips.

The one that was passed around forums and chat rooms and LiveJournal communities that introduced us all to the Fresno Nightcrawler was perhaps surprising in its simplicity. It was a snippet from the security camera footage of someone's yard in Fresno, California. Being footage from a personal security camera in the late '00s, in addition to the fact that the footage was being taken at night, the original video was already quite grainy, and has only gotten moreso on today's higher resolution screens. But even with the low picture quality, you can still make out two figures that appear to be mostly legs strutting into view from the top left of the frame, across the lawn, then out of frame again at the bottom right.

And that was it. The clip was less than a minute long, with no sound or context. But the odd look of the things, and the awkward, stiff yet wobbly way they walked made us go wild for them. Thus one of the internet's favorite cryptids was born.

Another video surfaced not long after, this time allegedly from a trail cam at Yosemite National Park. Similar in quality to the original Fresno footage, the Yosemite footage shows two Nightcrawlers, one much smaller than the other, traveling down a tree-lined trail, from the left of the frame to the right.

You can find some articles online claiming that the Fresno Nightcrawlers are "terrorizing" people. But that's not really backed up by the fact that all of the documented sightings — Fresno, Yosemite, and most recently Billings, Montana — show them just ... walking. The only reports of anyone being terrorized are the man who took the original Fresno footage claiming that he set up the security camera because his dogs were barking at night and he wanted to find out why.

Regardless of what the Fresno Nightcrawlers are, be they aliens or a previously unknown critter or some magically animated pants, it's clear that all they really want is to go for a nice moonlit stroll. And isn't it just fitting that the cryptid that truly belongs to the internet is just a Weird Little Guy who just wants to touch grass?

I saw the dress in an advertisement on the Internet. I rarely buy online. I want to feel the fabric before I decide if I like the dress. But this time I let myself be carried away by the pictures. A light blue, off-the-shoulder, short cocktail dress made of tulle. The skirt part alone is already a dream, how it builds around the legs and swings around when walking. This dress arrived on time, it is beautiful and well made. It is of very high quality and even the size fit me like a glove. I love the dress. The colour of the fabric is the colour of the sky. At the garden party, I will promise the men heaven and the women will wish me hell. If I float hand in hand over the lawn with a charming man, it will not be noticeable among the many layers of tulle if my erect penis protrudes in the panties.

You are right about people sabotaging their own characters and ships. I honestly don't understand ship wars, to me is just a bunch of people bullying each other online over what they like/dislike and that is idiotic because we commonly use these spaces to have fun and find people who like the same things we do and maybe become friends with those people. I don't get why people love ruining other people's fun to the point they make others so angry to start fighting back or leave the fandom entirely. When it comes to Steve Harrington, my favorite character, I love almost all ships people have for him: Harringrove (my favorite ship), Stancy (yeah, I'm okay, dw about me), Stonathan (which now holds a dear place in my heart) , Stommy... And I'm capable of understanding the "illegal" ones such as Steve and Max (when they are both in their 20's and it is mostly AU) and Stobin (AU's) and many more. I have tried liking Steddie, I really have and I really want to meet the cool people you say are fed-up of the bullying extreme Steddie and Eddie fans cause... But god it is difficult to like something that has caused too much harm and it sucks these people cannot see what they are doing. Lmao, I feel like that girl from the Mean Girls movie who want to bake cookies and cakes and have peace all around haha

I understand ship wars to an extent. I just don’t love the dishonesty of it nowadays. When I was a teenager, ship wars were primarily a war over preferences that was usually hyped up by the creators of a series to increase interest and revenue. We knew this. While people took it seriously, there was always this underlying understanding that this is all just a part of fandom. This isn’t to say people didn’t take it too far or that there was no bullying involved. This isn’t a “those were the good old days” response. It was just more honest about its absurdity.

Now, you have people writing shipping meta as to why one ship is not only morally superior to another but trying to convince people that shipping is a form of activism. I am not talking about ships that are controversial because they inherently contain disturbing elements. It could be as simple as two relatively “normal” ships being pit against each other with one side arguing that a singular moment of conflict between characters in one ship deems the whole thing too toxic and unhealthy for audiences to support them.

*cough**cough*The Steddie vs. Harringrove ship war that boils down to differences in respectability*cough**cough*

Just be honest is all I ask. Like, you shouldn’t be out here inventing reasons why supporting one ship over another is a matter of social justice. It’s not. You preference something very strongly. You hate the competition. You whine about it. You find shallow reasons to hate the competition. You put up the get off my lawn signs. Then you think for some reason that you need a deeper reason to justify your hate so you Google queer theory and use all the Right Words to convince people shippers of x, y, or z are destroying the fabric of society.

(Not you personally, anon. This is the proverbial “you.”)

LMAO okay. Please be serious…

The small engine market, which encompasses engines typically used in lawn and garden equipment, portable generators, pressure washers, and other utility equipment, is influenced by several key drivers:

: With an increasing focus on home improvement and landscaping, there's a surge in demand for lawn mowers, trimmers, chainsaws, and other outdoor power equipment. This trend, fueled partly by the growing interest in gardening and backyard beautification, directly impacts the small engine market.

: As urban populations grow, there's a greater need for efficient maintenance of public parks and green spaces, increasing the requirement for commercial-grade small engine equipment. Additionally, smaller living spaces in cities drive the demand for compact, portable power tools.

: Advances in engine technology, such as the development of more fuel-efficient, low-emission engines, are driving market growth. Features like electronic fuel injection (EFI), reduced noise levels, and better durability attract consumers and commercial users alike.

: Stricter emissions standards, particularly in developed markets, are pushing manufacturers to develop cleaner and greener engines. This has led to the growth of electric and hybrid alternatives alongside traditional gasoline engines, expanding the market's scope.

: Small engines are widely used in construction equipment such as portable generators, air compressors, and concrete mixers. An upswing in construction activities worldwide, particularly in emerging economies, fuels demand for these engines.

: The increasing frequency of natural disasters and power outages has led to a rise in demand for portable generators equipped with small engines, especially in residential areas.

: The need to replace aging equipment also contributes to market growth. As older equipment reaches the end of its lifespan, users look to upgrade to newer, more efficient models.

: The do-it-yourself (DIY) movement encourages homeowners to undertake maintenance and renovation projects themselves, thereby increasing the demand for small engine-powered tools and equipment.

: The proliferation of online sales channels has made it easier for customers to access a wide variety of small engine products, contributing to market expansion.

These factors collectively propel the small engine market forward, shaping its evolution and responding to changing consumer needs and environmental imperatives.

How to Buy Pure Cotton Fabrics Online: A Guide to Quality and Comfort

When it comes to textiles, pure cotton fabrics are a timeless favorite. Known for their softness, breathability, and versatility, cotton fabrics are ideal for everything from everyday clothing to home décor. Buying pure cotton fabrics online offers a convenient way to access a wide range of high-quality options, but it's essential to know what to look for to ensure you're getting the best material for your needs.

Why Choose Pure Cotton Fabrics?

1. Natural Comfort

Cotton is a natural fiber that is soft and gentle on the skin, making it a popular choice for clothing and bedding. Its breathable quality ensures comfort in warm weather, while its insulating properties also make it suitable for cooler climates.

2. Durability

Pure cotton fabrics are known for their durability. They can withstand regular washing and wear, maintaining their softness and strength over time. This makes them a practical choice for both apparel and home textiles.

3. Versatility

Cotton fabrics come in various weights and weaves, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. From lightweight voile and lawn for summer dresses to heavier twills and canvas for upholstery, cotton's versatility is unmatched.

Tips for Buying Pure Cotton Fabrics Online

1. Understand Fabric Types

When shopping for pure cotton fabrics online, it’s important to know the different types available:

Cotton Voile: Lightweight and semi-sheer, ideal for blouses, summer dresses, and curtains.

Cotton Poplin: A medium-weight fabric with a smooth finish, perfect for shirts, dresses, and quilting.

Cotton Twill: A durable, heavier fabric, often used for pants, jackets, and home décor items like cushions and drapes.

2. Check Fabric Descriptions

Online stores typically provide detailed descriptions of each fabric, including its weight, weave, and care instructions. Pay close attention to these details to ensure the fabric meets your specific needs.

3. Consider the Thread Count

For certain applications, such as bedding, the thread count can be an important factor. A higher thread count often indicates a finer, softer fabric, though this is not always the case with all types of cotton.

4. Read Reviews and Ratings

Customer reviews and ratings can offer valuable insights into the quality of the fabric and the reliability of the online store. Look for feedback on the fabric’s texture, color accuracy, and durability.

5. Request Samples

If available, order fabric samples before committing to a large purchase. This allows you to feel the fabric and see its true color, helping you make an informed decision.

Advantages of Buying Pure Cotton Fabrics Online

1. Wide Selection

Online shopping provides access to a broader range of pure cotton fabrics than most local stores. You can find everything from basic solids to intricate prints, all in one place.

2. Convenient Shopping

The convenience of shopping online means you can browse and purchase fabrics at any time, without the need to visit multiple stores. This is especially helpful if you have specific fabric requirements that are not easily found locally.

3. Competitive Pricing

Online retailers often offer competitive prices, with frequent discounts and sales events. This allows you to purchase high-quality pure cotton fabrics at a more affordable price, especially when buying in bulk.

Conclusion

You owe me—for all I bring to your world.

June 20 (in the book “Jumbo Jumble”)

There is a pervasive pattern of contextual strangulation we are seeing in the media, in which long-term consequences are eliminated from discussion or thought by focusing on some fabricated controversy about short-term events. It's the same kind of contextual decimation that has been used in official discussions of climate change, deforestation, and the extreme poverty of 2 billion people. We are systematically encouraged to forget that we have any moral obligation to any other lives than our own. And the mainstream publishers and producers, who know where their advertising and investment revenue is coming from, remain mute. Other cultures, other generations, and other species aren't at the table. In this shift of context, the concern we might have for the future of life on Earth is grotesquely transmuted into a fear that gasoline prices might rise, or that illegal immigrants might start camping out on our lawns. 

JR: Our focus on short-term solutions while ignoring their long term (and often harmful) aftereffects results in many of the intractable environmental and social issues plaguing us today. How can we generate a genuine concern for the way we are influencing future generations and other forms of life? The majority of people are unlikely to be “threatened” into really caring about the large issues of climate change and poverty UNLESS they can understand how their concern and action will better their own lives. Frequently reminding a person of the pertinent issues and the consequences is important, but more important is showing the positive improvement of taking action now on their own lives (and those of their descendants).

PP: Where do you get your news? How about finding an additional source that shows positive actions people are taking to deal with today’s issues?

PA: In my regular visits to the USA, I find myself “deflated” upon watching the mainstream news, as most of it is bad news. It made me better understand why many people feel depressed or a lack of hope in today’s world. In my everyday life in Japan, I choose upbeat news sources (like YES magazine, Daily Good, and The Upworthiest in addition to reliable online news sources like Aljazeera. Finding balance in my news intake (preferably with more encouraging and uplifting news than is usually found in mainstream media) has helped me keep up a more optimistic view on the good we can do.

Eid lawn dresses have become an important element in every woman's wardrobe, especially during this hot summer. The light and airy fabric of unstitched clothes online is perfect for keeping us cool during scorching days. With the increasing fame of lawn suits, designers have also started experimenting with different designs so that they can cater to the diverse requirements and preferences of their customers.

One of the latest trends in summer lawn suits is the fusion of traditional and modern styles. In this blog post, we will explore this trend in detail and how it has changed the world of lawn dress design. The fusion of conventional and modern staples in lawn clothes is a blend of new and old. It combines traditional motifs and patterns of embroidery with new cuts and styles. The result is a lawn dress that is both traditional and modern and creates a unique and captivating look that is perfect for every occasion.

Traditional elements in embroidered lawn

Traditional elements in the embroidered lawn eid suits consist of designs having intricate embroidery, handwork, and embellishments. These took inspiration from the region's rich cultural heritage and were seen in the traditional lawn dresses on Eid ul Adha. However, with the fusion of modern styles, designers can now include these conventional elements in a trendy and relevant way.

Which color to pick?

Which color do you need to select so that you can add it to your summer lawn collection? This common question runs through our brains when buying a unique summer lawn Eid dress. The most beautiful advantage of the summer season is the wide variety of colors, including vibrant shades and pastels. Most ladies prefer to wear fresh colors to energize themselves in the hot summer.

If you plan to go to a birthday party or a wedding in summer, you can look outstanding in the bold shades. However, a formal gathering always goes perfectly with the Eid dresses for ladies.

Prints of summer lawn suits

The second most important thing is to focus on the prints of your lawn outfits. No doubt, these days, fashionable prints are rocking and grasping the attention of fashion lovers. Floral prints these days have the capacity to outshine every other design in summer. They help you to make your look more feminine. On the other hand, girls love to wear embroidered lawn silk dresses. They make them look more charming, beautiful, and fashionable. You can explore various prints in 2 pc and 3pc lawn collections.

Which type of embroidery to select?

Next comes the embroidery designs to select. Summer lawn dresses come in a variety of Eid women's outfits. Embroidery patterns include embroidery on sleeves, neck, back, and shoulders. Thread embroidery, beads, sequins, and pearls are very common in embroidered dresses. On the other hand, unique prints on the back are a new hype in 2024.

A Comprehensive Guide to Safe and Enjoyable Kashmir Travel

Kashmir, often referred to as "Paradise on Earth," is a mesmerizing region nestled in the northernmost part of India. With its breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality, Kashmir has been a cherished destination for travelers around the globe. However, like any travel destination, it's essential to plan your trip carefully to ensure a safe, enjoyable, and leisurely experience. In this guide, we'll provide you with comprehensive tips and insights to make the most of your Kashmir travel adventure.

Preparing for Your Trip - Before embarking on your journey to Kashmir, adequate preparation is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the region's culture, customs, and current geopolitical situation. Stay updated on any travel advisories issued by your government. Ensure you have all the necessary travel documents, including passports, visas (if applicable), permits for restricted areas, and any medical records or prescriptions. Consult your healthcare provider regarding vaccinations and medications recommended for travel to Kashmir. It's also wise to carry a basic first aid kit. Purchase comprehensive travel insurance to cover medical emergencies, trip cancellations, and other unforeseen circumstances. Pack appropriate clothing for the season of your visit, including warm layers for colder months and breathable fabrics for warmer seasons. Don't forget essentials like sunscreen, insect repellent, and sturdy footwear for outdoor activities.

Choosing the Right Accommodation - Selecting suitable accommodation is essential for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Kashmir. Opt for accommodations located in safe and easily accessible areas, preferably close to major attractions and transportation hubs. Research online reviews and seek recommendations from fellow travelers or travel forums to find reputable hotels, guesthouses, or home-stays. Prioritize accommodations that prioritize safety and security measures, such as secure locks, CCTV surveillance, and emergency evacuation plans. Consider staying in traditional Kashmiri houseboats or home-stays to immerse yourself in the local culture and hospitality.

Understanding Local Customs and Etiquette - Respecting local customs and etiquette is essential for fostering positive interactions and experiences during your stay in Kashmir. Kashmir is a conservative region, especially in rural areas and religious sites. Dress modestly, particularly when visiting mosques or shrines, by covering your shoulders and legs. Greet locals with "As-salamu alaykum" (peace be upon you) as a sign of respect. Learn a few basic phrases in Urdu or Kashmiri to communicate with locals, which will be greatly appreciated. Always ask for permission before taking photos of individuals, especially women and religious sites. Respect any signs indicating photography restrictions. When invited into a Kashmiri home, remove your shoes before entering and express gratitude for any hospitality extended to you. Use your right hand for eating and avoid touching food with your left hand, as it's considered unclean.

Exploring the Attractions - Kashmir is renowned for its stunning natural beauty and cultural heritage. There are some must-visit attractions to include in your itinerary. Embark on a shikara (traditional wooden boat) ride on Dal Lake, surrounded by majestic mountains and lined with floating gardens and houseboats. Don't miss the vibrant floating market, where local vendors sell fresh produce and handicrafts from their boats. Explore the enchanting Mughal Gardens, such as Shalimar Bagh, Nishat Bagh, and Chashme Shahi, which showcase exquisite Mughal architecture, terraced lawns, and cascading fountains. Escape to the picturesque hill station of Gulmarg, renowned for its lush meadows, gondola rides offering panoramic views of the Himalayas, and opportunities for skiing and snowboarding in the winter months. Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Pahalgam, a tranquil valley dotted with pine forests, meandering rivers, and alpine meadows. Enjoy activities like trekking, horse riding, and trout fishing amidst breathtaking scenery.

Outdoor Adventures - For adventure enthusiasts, Kashmir offers a plethora of thrilling outdoor activities amidst its pristine landscapes. Embark on exhilarating treks in the Kashmir Valley, such as the iconic Kashmir Great Lakes Trek, Tarsar Marsar Trek, or the Amarnath Yatra pilgrimage route, which lead you through alpine meadows, glaciers, and remote villages. Hit the slopes in Gulmarg during the winter season, known for its powdery snow and world-class skiing and snowboarding facilities. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, there are slopes suitable for all skill levels. Challenge yourself with white water rafting adventures on the Lidder River in Pahalgam or the Indus River near Sonamarg, where you'll navigate thrilling rapids amidst stunning scenery. Experience the serenity of Kashmir's wilderness by camping amidst lush meadows or alongside glistening lakes. Hike through scenic trails in places like Aru Valley or Betaab Valley, surrounded by towering mountains and gushing streams.

Navigating Safety Concerns - While Kashmir is undeniably beautiful, it's essential to remain mindful of potential safety concerns and take necessary precautions. Stay updated on the current security situation in Kashmir through reliable sources such as government travel advisories and local news outlets. Avoid areas with a history of civil unrest or tensions. Adhere to any curfews or travel restrictions imposed by local authorities. Respect checkpoints and cooperate with security personnel when required. Steer clear of political demonstrations, protests, or large gatherings, as these situations can escalate quickly and pose risks to personal safety. Maintain communication with friends or family members back home and share your itinerary with them. Keep emergency contact numbers handy and register with your embassy or consulate upon arrival.

Embracing Local Cuisine and Culinary Experiences - No trip to Kashmir is complete without indulging in its delectable cuisine, which reflects a rich blend of flavors influenced by Central Asian, Persian, and Indian culinary traditions. Treat your taste buds to a traditional Kashmiri feast known as Wazwan, featuring a lavish spread of aromatic dishes served on a large platter called the trami. Don't miss specialties like Rogan Josh (slow-cooked lamb curry), Gushtaba (spiced meatballs in yogurt gravy), and Tabakh Maaz (crispy fried lamb ribs). Savor a cup of Kahwa, a fragrant green tea infused with saffron, cardamom, and almonds, served piping hot with a sprinkling of crushed nuts. This warming beverage is a staple in Kashmiri hospitality and is often enjoyed with traditional sweets like baklava or phirni.
