Altered State: Part 1

IDK if anyone on here will be interested in this story, its kind of a long and slower but thought I would post it anyways. More parts coming next week!

Most great adventures start with a call to arms, a quest from on high, a declaration of purpose to serve the greater good. Edward’s and Leon’s started with a question asked through a mouthful of chips.

“Wanna play this new game dude?” Leon asked words barely intelligible. He stood in the doorway of their living room, his fat frame blocking most of the light. In one hand he held a bag of chips and in the other, he held up an unfamiliar battered keep case, the type that held video game disks inside. The thing had a red and blue design that Edward didn't recognize. 

“I guess. What is that thing, will it work on my Wii?” Edward asked. He lay on the couch, long thin body taking up the whole thing but sat up and moved over to make room for his roommate. 

Leon shook his head “I don’t think so dude, it's like super retro.” He walked over to the TV and started fiddling with the row of older consoles that belonged to their third roommate Alvis trying to see if any could accommodate the game. "It was free though." He said as he found the right one, an extremely retro blocky thing Edward was surprised even accepted disks. Leon booted up the system, the familiar hum of the machine filling the space. “I got it from that comic shop down the street. This buff dude at the counter just handed it to me. Said he thought I would put it to good use.”

“Alvis would kill you if he knew you were touching that,” Edward warned, always the one to show more caution. 

“Fuck Alvis. If he didn't want it to be used he shouldn’t have bought it” Leon countered. Neither of the two were particularly big fans of their other roommate, but Leon especially hated his guts. He only let the guy live with them because it made the rent cheaper and because Alvis’ weird retro tech fit in with their decor of half-finished Lego sets, empty pizza boxes, and superhero posters, and because for the most part, Alvis left the two friends alone, spending all his time in the engineering building or fiddling with tech in his room.

Leon opened the case and took out a dusty disk, growing on it to reveal the title “Altered State” and the manufacturer HunkTech, neither of which either Leon or Edward had ever heard of. Leon put the game back into Alvis’s video game console and pressed play. The TV flickered for a moment, then exploded with color so bright it forced both of them to squint. Flashes of neon light, strange symbols, and spinning images seared into their eyes, leaving dancing after images. Neither of the friends could look away, their senses overwhelmed by the pulsating lights that burned into the back of their brains. And just as suddenly as it started, the TV went black and both friends came back to themselves.

“Oh shit" Edward muttered, blinking rapidly to clear his vision. "Your game just fried the TV!Alvis is going to kill you.”

Leon opened his mouth to defend himself but before he could a green holographic display blinked into existence, floating in the air right in front of him. Growing text marched across the living room floor reading:

"Welcome to Altered State.”

Leon’s jaw dropped. "Uh, Ed? You seeing this?”

Edward stood motionless for a moment too shocked to speak. “What the fuck” he breathed “What's going on?”

Both of their holograms shifted to display naked, pixelated 3D models of the two friends, hanging awkwardly in midair. 

“Eww, what the hell,” Leon said. He tried to avert his gaze but the images followed the motion of his head and stayed even when he shut his eyes. 

Neither of the projections was a particularly flattering sight to behold.  Leon’s short, heavy frame was rendered in painful detail—his soft belly, narrow shoulders, pudgy limbs, and average penis were all fully extenuated under the brutally detailed holographic projection. Edward’s model didn’t fare any better. Tall and spindly, his twig-like arms and knobby knees, paired with a notoriously ugly face, gave him the appearance of a scarecrow. Edward was not helped much in its attractiveness by the acne on his face, the greasy thin hair on his head, and the pitifully small penis between his legs fully visible in the naked light of the hologram. 

“Your the one with your dick in my face.” Edward shot back, cheeks flushed with embarrassment at the display.  

The hologram flickered again, and new text appeared below both their models:

Analyzing subjects…

The text began to blink as new displays blinked into existence on the peripheral of both their vision, only really notable if focused on. Various menus that displayed statistics quests and a list perks were all there, though all were currently blank. The words level one along with an empty an empty progress bar beneath appeared at the top of their filed of view, though only visible to themselves and not the other. 

Neither of the two friends had time to examine the new features in detail as the words under their models shifted again.

“Analyzing Purpose: Class Selection”

"Class selected: Juggernaut.” Appeared under Leon’s character. 

Leon blinked. "Juggernaut?" he repeated, unsure what to make of the development.

Edward snickered, “I think that's the fantasy term for fatty.”

But before Leon could respond, Edward’s display changed too:

"Class selected: Snake Charmer.”

“What like I’m going to play the flute?” Edward asked.

It was Leon's turn to laugh. “No bro, the game just called you a homo.” 

It took Edward a second to understand. “Not funny,” he said swatting his best friend on the arm, blushing somehow harder. “This is seriously messed up. We need to go to the hospital or something.”

“Relax charmochondriac, don't you see what’s happening?” 

“Group psychosis?” Edward guessed.

“No dude, we are in a video game, and we fucking rule at video games.”

“Leon” Edward said warningly. Before he could say more though quests populated onto both their displays.

“Dude chill this is awesome. My first quest is easy too. I bet I can get level ten before you.”

Edward wasn’t as ready to accept this rapid series of unexplainable events but he also wasn’t ready to let his best friend think he was a chicken. “Fine. I’ll meet you back at the house when I kick your ass.”

Leon laughed and with that both boys raced out the door, shoving each other playfully to get out first. From there both took off to opposite sides of campus, towards their various objectives and their differing yet intimately intertwined destinies. 

-

Leon raced, or his version which was something between a fast walk and an awkward jog, across campus to his first quest. It seemed easy enough: “Go to the gym” it read. Leon wasn’t exactly one for physical fitness but he at least knew where the health center was from campus orientation tour.

Despite his slow pace by the time he reached it he was out of breath. For a moment he stood in front of automatic double doors, panting and intimidated. He stuck out like a sore thumb on this part of campus, dressed in the ratty strained Superman shirt and baggy shorts his protruding belly and wild unkempt hair stood in stark contrast to the muscular adonis in low tank tops and tall fit women in matching sports sets who brushed by him without a second thought. Mustering his courage Leon walked through the doors and into the gym. His ears were greeted by the sound of slamming weights, rhythmic grunts, and a small ding as he completed his first quest and leveled up. He watched as the experience bar filled fully, bumping his level up to two and filling his vision with notifications. The bar continued to fill until it had reached halfway to the next level. A notification appeared in a gray box with plain white blocky text.

You have reached level two. You receive attribute points based on your class: +3 Strength, +1 Charisma +0.3 Intelligence.

Leon grinned as he felt himself change. He couldn’t actually feel himself getting smarter or more charismatic. He wasn't sure if that was because those were more cognitive stats or if it was because the increase was marginal compared to his strength. Either way, it was a strength that Leon felt himself receive. It wasn't much. Leon didn’t suddenly become a hulk or a bodybuilder but he felt something shift. His shoulders widened slightly, his chest inflated a bit and his butt became less saggy. A single vein buried deep in the layers of fat in his arm engorged itself with blood and snaked its way to the surface, pushed upwards by growing muscle and diminishing fat. He felt physically stronger, faster, like he might be able to actually run a bit without throwing up. He didn't actually look all that different, a quarter of an inch taller, a few pounds shifted from fat to muscle, but inside he felt amazing, electric, like this is what he was made for. Leon suspected that feeling had to do with the other notification waiting for him just below the first.

“You have gained a class perk.”

“Gym Rat: as a juggernaut, you feel comfortable in all athletic spaces.”

Leon felt all his worries and insecurities about being in the gym fade away. He scanned his student ID and strode past the muscled jock at the front counter confidently, flashing him a smile and a slight wave. Leon felt just as comfortable in the gym as if he was at the comic book shop, no more, he felt like he was at home chilling with Edward, like he could do anything and give a damn about who judged him. Leon knew he should be concerned about how this game had physically changed his body and mind so easily but he was too invigorated, too electrified, and he had another quest to do. 

“Do a push-up.” It read simply. 

Leon hadn’t tried to do a push-up since 8th grade gym class but he felt confident he was capable of it with the boost to strength he had received. Leon weaved through the various machines and stations manned by the university’s resident hunks and athletes, some gave him dirty looks but most looked right through him. Leon found he couldn’t care less. He found a corner of the free mat and assumed the push-up position. Despite the recent slight boost to his athleticism, it was a task easier said than done. Leon went down as far as he could until he felt his arms begin to shake, about an inch, then pushed himself up with substantial effort.

To his disappointment, the quest still read as incomplete. He reasoned it must be due to his, form. He tried to go lower but ended up face-first on the mat, unable to push himself up. He went to his knees and did a push-up but that didn’t count either. Nor did a push-up with his butt out in the air, or one in which he rested on the ground for a few seconds in the middle. Leon was about to give up when he saw a guy around his age approach. 

He didn't have the same gorilla bulk as some of the huge men in the gym but his body was visibly lean and defined through his tee-shirt, maybe a runner. “Need any help there” he asked. Leon couldn’t tell if he was being genuine or mocking but his new total comfort in the gym provided by his “Gym Rat” perk made him not care. 

“I’m trying to do a push-up.”

“Just one?” The guy asked with a grin. 

“Gotta start somewhere,” Leon said humbly. 

“Your problem is your stance.” He said. He instructed Leon to assume the plank position and then went about correcting Leon’s form. His arms were too close together, his core was not properly engaged, back not fully straight. The man introduced himself as Cal and then instructed Leon to try again. Leon tried another pushup lowering his body slowly “Lower, lower” Cal called Leon and complied though his face turned red and he wanted to die. Cal didn't let him stop till the tip of his dick was practically touching the mat. Then he went back up, slowly and with more exertion than he had ever used in his whole life. 

He was rewarded with a ding and a slew of notifications. 

“You have reached level three. You receive attribute points based on your class: +3 Strength, +1 Charisma +0.3 Intelligence.” 

“You have gained a class perk.”

“Perfect Form: as a juggernaut, you instinctually know the proper form to maximize the performance of any athletic endeavor.”

Leon felt his body shift again from where it lay crumpled on the mat. His stomach deflated slightly, and under his man boobs pecs started to form. His legs lengthened a bit causing his shorts to only reach his knees instead of past them. The changes were as small as the first but Leon couldn’t help but feel amazed. He tried to do another push-up and found that his body now naturally assumed the perfect position without him having to think about it. With his new points in strength, he was able to push out another perfect military-style push-up, and two more before he flopped down onto the mat, fully spent.

“You're getting the hang of it,” Cal said smiling. If he had seen Leon's body change he made no indication. “good luck on your workout,” he called out as he left.

“Yeah see you around man” Leon called after him. He felt on cloud nine. At this rate, Leon would reach level 10 by the hour. On cue, two more quests appeared for him to complete. He wondered how Edward was doing, if he had even gained one level by now. Maybe once Leon had power gamed his way into OP status he could help his friend with a quest or two. 

-

Edward walked across the quad at a brisk pace. He would have run if his bony arms and legs didn't make him look like a chicken when he did. Edward wasn’t quite as sold on this whole bizarre real life video game thing as Leon was but he also wasn’t about to let Leon leave him in the dust. Edward's first quest was pretty simple if non-specific, “be within 50 feet of 30 or more people”. 

Edwards tendency to avoid large crowds gave him the advantage of knowing exactly where they often were. The coffee shop by the quad came right to his mind. At this time of the day, the place was packed with students either leaving or going to their mid-day classes. The place terrified Edward, the thought of so many eyes on him, judging him, mocking him, and yet Edward reasoned there was no harm in at least checking the place out, it not as if the quest required him to talk to anyone. 

As he walked Edward wondered at the game. Leon, true to self had accepted the game right away without question. If his friend was muscular instead of fat he might be called a himbo. It wasn’t that he was dumb, he was getting a degree in public health, but he also didn't have a habit of thinking things through particularly throughly. Their freshmen year Leon had built a glider out of the shower curtain and broke his arm jumping off the second floor of their dorm with it. And last year Leon had thought it was a good idea to subscribe to some shady porn website that had given his computer a virus so corruptive even tech wizard Alvis couldn’t remove it. 

Though they were inseparable best friend Edward was the opposite. He was much more cautious about everything, sometimes to irrational extremes. Last semester Edward had almost dropped out because he was too nervous to get approval for his classes from his sociology advisor. If he was scared of his sixty-five year old sweet as candy professor talking to guys he liked was surly out of the question, not that he would have any hope of success with his appearance. 

As Edward walked across the quad he avoided eye contact with students crowded onto the open green sitting and chatting or throwing frisbees. Edward felt drowned in the sea of people, though the lawn wasn’t nearly dense enough to fulfill the quest. 

The line for the coffee shop was out the door which made him want to throw up. He walked slowly forward waiting for the quest to complete. Finally, when he was only a few feet away, practically in line the quest was fulfilled and his experience bar to level two filled fully.

Edward heard a “ding” in his head and several notifications filled his vision startling him.  

“You have reached level two. You receive attribute points based on your class: +3 Charisma, +1 Intelligence +0.3 Strength.”

“You have gained a class perk.”

“People Person: Those around you feel your natural charm and are more likely to accept you in a neutral or positive way, potentially even striking up a conversation.”

Edward felt a strange itch on his brow and a pressure on his jaw but ignored it. He didn't know what to make of the messages. The stats seemed somewhat consistent with role-playing video games, and he supposed the break down made sense with his class. Still, he wasn’t sure how something like charisma would be incorporated into real life, nor his new People Person perk. As a sociology major Edward knew all too well how complex human interaction was. The perk seemed to imply that not only would the game be changing him but also the people around him and their perceptions. He wasn’t sure if that was even possible not to mention ethical.

“Introduce yourself to a stranger,” the next quest said popping up on the side of Edward's vision. That more than any ethical quandary made Edward scared. It was all well and good for the game to claim that people would react positively to Edward but he knew firsthand that wasn’t true. 

“Hey, are you in line” two girls who had walked up behind him asked. Edward froze, realizing he had positioned himself at an awkward spot half in line half not. The girls didn't seem disgusted by his presence but they also didn't seem particularly enthralled, they just wanted to get their coffee. 

Edward nodded his head, the best he could do with his crippling social anxiety. He moved more obviously in line and the girl went back to chatting. As the line crept closer Edward tried and failed several times to work up the courage to introduce himself to the girls. He came up with various scenarios in his head of how he could make an introduction, all of which ended with the girl calling him a creep. 

Finally, after ten minutes, Edward reached the front of the line. He realized in his attempts to complete the quest he hadn’t so much as glanced at the menu. 

“What will you be having today” a tall tan worker asked, his tattooed arms pleasantly stretching out the sleeves of his shirt. Edward just opened and closed his mouth like a fish, mind suddenly blank of every coffee drink ever, including coffee. 

The worker, whose name tag ironically read “Tag” saw his confusion and smiled. “It's a big menu I know. It's fall, so you can never go wrong with a PSL.” He saw Edwards look confused and he sheepishly clarified “Pumpkin spice latte.”

“I’ll do that,” Edward said, voice quiet but clear. He took a deep breath then before he could think about it blurted out “I’m Edward by the way”. 

Tag gave a handsome grin and wrote the name on a cup. “Thanks, Edward, I’ll that get you out for you right away.”

Edward heard a “ding” but ignored it and the notifications that popped up as he paid on the tablet Tag turned towards him. His hands shook as he selected the largest tip options and stumbled over to the designated area to stand while waiting for a drink and looked at the notifications. 

“You have reached level three. You receive attribute points based on your class: +3 Charisma, +1 Intelligence, +0.3 Strength.”

“You have gained a class perk.”

“Social Sync: You are naturally attuned to the tone and rhythm of conversation making awkward pauses and interruptions a thing of the past.”

New quests popped up as well, two this time. “Make someone laugh” and “Offer someone advice.”

As the messages appeared Edward felt the same strange pain in his face, like the soreness he sometimes got after smiling all day with Leon. He lifted a hand to his face and felt skin much smoother than his normal rough, dry, pockmarked complexion. His weak chin, which had always been a source of insecurity no longer felt totally concave but pushed out somewhat lending a strange sharpness to his jaw. Edward was about to take out his phone to examine his reflection when he heard a voice beside him. 

“He’s so dreamy, isn’t he,” a man said in his right ear. All his life Edward had been painfully scrawny, wrists the size of cucumber and ribs showing through his pale skin. This man was even more slender like he could break with a strong gust of wind. He held a coffee cup that had the name Trent on the side. The guy didn't seem to mind Edwards's silence and continued staring at Tag longingly. “The coffee here is so bitter but the eye candy is so sweet” he mused. 

“Yeah that guy is what I would call a full-sized candy bar” the comment came out before Edward had time to think. It was a mediocre joke, wordy and unoriginal to a fault, but to painfully shy and unfunny Edward he felt like he was a standup comedian. Trent smiled and gave a slight chuckle, though his quest remained incomplete, probably because the laugh was fake.

“He’s a Snickers, and let's just say I’m not allergic to nuts.” Edward tried again, this time eliciting a better reaction from Trent. A slight giggle was all it took for the quest to complete and Edwards' experience bar to increase half the way to level four. 

“Well both of us are going to go hungry. He’s straight.”

“Really” Edward asked. As a closeted gay until he was 19, when he had finally worked up the courage to tell Leon, Edward thought he had pretty good gaydar, and that Tag guy was anything but straight. “How do you know?” He asked Social Sync perk causing him to put the perfect pause between his declaration of doubt and his question without him even noticing.

“He used to date some girl” Trent responded with a touch of disgust.

“Maybe he’s bi,” Edward said and Trent’s face lit up as if he had never considered the thought.

“Oh wow, do you really think so” He asked excitedly. “Now that you say it he is kind of flirty when he gives me my drink.”

“You should just go up and talk to him” Edward advised sagely. “I mean what is the worst that could happen.” The advice was hollow seeing as how Edward had never even breathed in the direction of any of his crushes. Trent seemed to sense this and looked at Edward dubiously. The game system however didn't seem to care. It marked his “give advice” quest as complete and alerted him he had reached level four with a ding. At this rate, Leon didn't stand a chance of reaching level ten before him. 

“You have reached level four. You receive attribute points based on your class: +3 Charisma, +1 Intelligence, +0.3 Strength.”

“Sage: Your charisma gives you an innate knowledge of people's desires, both conscious and unconscious. Note: The higher your charisma the more attuned this sense becomes. Note: this effect is 92.22% more effective on people with a penis.”

Edward felt a shift both in his physiology and in his brain, like before he felt his face move, bones like continental plates drifting every so slightly apart into a more attractive configuration. 

Inside his head, he felt something shift far more drastically. The three +1 boosts to his intelligence had been so slight he barely noticed them, just a slight speeding up of his thoughts and a boost to his reasoning ability. This new change in his mind was drastic, impossible not to notice. A sixth sense emerged, filling his head with a source of knowledge he wasn’t quite sure what to do with. It was almost as if he had gained the ability to read minds only not so strong and without any words, only feelings. Suddenly Edward felt Trent’s desire, a sexual one, not just for the barista, but also for the group of frat boys in the corner of the shop and strangely enough for Edward. He felt others' desires too, though much less clearly. 

Two guys standing to his left both hoped the other would buy the alcohol for tonight's party. The other men in the shop only gave wisps of desire. Edward suspected that had something to do with proximity and his still relatively low charisma.

The women on the other hand Edward could barely sense, only receiving a small tingle like TV static instead of anything readable. Edward wondered at that strange 92.22% bonus towards men. Edward took a moment to reflect on the class he had been assigned. Could Leon be right? Could the name of his class be a gay joke, that he was meant to charm not venomous creatures in baskets but instead the snake in men's pants? It seemed somehow too vulgar for a video game though Edward knew that was illogical. If it was true it begged some concerning questions, like how the game had known he was gay and what exactly it was setting him up to do. 

“Would you go talk to him?” Trent asked suddenly snapping Edward back to the present. His sixth sense faded to the back of his mind, though he could still sense Trent’s desire. “Sorry I know that's a lot to ask but I think you would have more luck than me.” He looked at Edward with puppy dog eyes filled with earnest hope. “Be my wingman?”

A notification appeared obscuring a part of Edward’s vision. 

“Quest offered! Set up Trent and Tag romantically. Reward: XP”

A box under the quest notification had two boxes with “yes” and “no” options. Edward had no idea how to select either option. Out loud he said “I’ll do my best,” the notification disappeared and reappeared small in the quest part of his interface. 

Trent smiled “Really? I can’t thank you enough.” He felt Trent’s desire shift from lust to hope. “Just like using a pickup line or something. Don’t make it too awkward” he said suddenly nervous.

“Don’t worry I got this,” Edward said with about 1000% times more confidence than he felt. He had absolutely no business getting other people's tail when he was still a virgin himself. Edward just knew he was going to make an absolute fool of himself.

-

It turned out that the quests to advance to level four were not as easy as Leon had imagined. The first quest “run a lap” proved exhausting but doable. Leon made his way to the elevated track that encircled the gym and with perfect form, if less perfect endurance, ran the loop. Before the game, Leon would have had to walk most of it, but the two levels and six points he had gained in strength allowed him to push through with a slow jog. The quest's completion bumped him 3/4 of the way to level four. He had no doubt the other quest would get him all the way there if only it was possible. 

“Do a pull-up.” How hard could one pull up be? Extremely difficult it turned out. Dangling from the elevated bar Leon tried with all his might to heft his flabby body up. He only managed to lift his head halfway before the effort became too much and he was forced to give up. 

Leon knew it wasn’t his form keeping him from completing the exercise like it had been with the push-up. Instead, it came down to a plain and simple lack of strength. Leon didn't know what to do. He felt frustrated that he had hit a roadblock so soon. He looked at the experience progress bar, so tantalizingly close to the next level. Maybe he would have to do it the old-fashioned way. Train his back and his biceps extensively until he could do a pull-up on his own. Leon knew something like that would take weeks if not months but he was nothing if not stubborn.

Determined not to give up Leon found a set of dumbbells and began to lift with perfect form. The activity didn't provide the same instant gratification as leveling up did, but Leon was starting to understand how people could get addicted to this. As he worked his eyes wandered to the graphical display imprinted on either side of his vision. He found he could unfocus on the information and the display would blur unobscuring his vision. He focused again and the quest and progress bar came back into his field of vision. Leon couldn’t tell if he was imagining it but it seemed as if the bar was more full. He did a few more curls and watched the progress bar tick up the tiniest amount. He lifted the other arm and it moved again. He grabbed the largest weight he could conceivably lift and using all this strength curled it with both arms, the progress bar moved, still not much but more than before. Leon grinned. He was pretty sure he had just found an exploit.

Thirty minutes later a tired Leon prepared for his last set of leg presses to get him to level four. The “exploit” he had found wasn’t as much of a hack as he had originally hoped. Working out gave him experience to fill the bar but not nearly as efficiently as quests. He had to go from machine to machine loading up the maximum amount of weight he could lift, not much, and completing various exercises until that part of his body was completely exhausted. His “perfect form” perk ensured that he was able to complete each exercise to its fullest despite not knowing how to do any of the exercises. All he had to do was approach a machine or a set of weights and his body would suddenly assume the position.

Even with his perfect form protecting him from injury Leon was exhausted. The day's gym session was more exercise than he had ever done in his life. His hair was matted to his forehead and dark sweat spots had appeared around the collar and pits of his Superman shirt. His body felt like a sack of bricks like he could fall asleep and not wake up till his next birthday. Leon persisted and as he performed his tenth leg press he heard a ding. His legs slammed back to their resting position and he breathed heavily, feeling his body begin to change and notifications pop up. 

“You have reached level four. You receive attribute points based on your class: +3 Strength, +1 Charisma +0.3 Intelligence.” 

“You have gained a class perk.”

“Animal Endurance: The rate at which athletic activities tire you is decreased significantly while the rate of recovery is greatly improved. Note: the potency of this effect scales off of strength.”

Leon felt his muscles harden, his arms bulge, his legs bulk up and shift. His core burned as his abs shredded themselves and strengthened. The layer of fat on Leon’s body, though still present thinned. Underneath it his muscles went from average to distinctly fit, no great titan yet but also not a slouch either. His weariness from all the exercise it took to reach level four drained away thanks to his perk and Leon once again felt reinvigorated. 

He marched over to the nearest pull-up bar and with only a small amount of effort hoisted himself up with the power of his upper body. The completed quest brought him a third of the way up to level five. Two more quests appeared. “Bench press a third of your body weight.” And “exchange workout tips”. Neither seemed especially difficult. 

Leon looked around to see if he could find Cal to knock out the more social of the quests but the helpful runner was nowhere to be seen. Instead, Leon found a benchpress machine and went to load it up. Leon was shocked to realize he had no idea what his body weight was. Before Altered Reality, Leon had weighed 230 pounds, now though he could be anything. Leon squinted at the holographic display in the sides of his vision and found with effort he was able to bring up a stats page. 

Leon: 

210 Pounds

5’10’’ Feet

Strength: 11

Charisma: 7

Intelligence: 8.9

When he played video games with his roommates Alvis was the one who focused on the numbers, min-maxing his character to be the strongest possible. Edward liked to talk to the NPCs, to understand the story, and Leon, well Leon liked to punch things and not worry too much about the boring stuff. Still, with his 8.9 in intelligence, Leon couldn't help but notice some changes to his body composition. There was the inch in height his body had gained from those three levels and the twenty pounds of weight he had lost. Leon suspected the total loss was more like 30 or 40 pounds of fat but that the added muscle made up the difference. His stats were interesting too. Leon hadn’t much thought about it but based on the quests and perks he had received the Juggernaut class seemed to be one that focused on athleticism. Despite that, he still received a marginal boost to charisma and intelligence at each level which he supposed were meant to keep him well rounded. Leon did the math, the current numbers would mean that his intelligence before the game had been eight, which seemed right, and his strength a two, also unfortunately right. The four in charisma seemed rude, but Leon supposed he had never had much luck with women for a reason.

Doing math once again Leon loaded up the bench press, factoring in the weight of the bar to reach seventy pounds one-third of his weight. He assumed the position under it, with perfect form thanks to his perk; then with substantial effort, Leon lifted the bar over his chest and with as much control as he could manage lowered it. That was the easy part, the hard part was pushing it back up. Leon clenched his toes, bugged his eyes, and pushed with all his eleven strength upward. His mind suddenly flashed to the bar crushing him, rolling down onto his neck and ending this game. Panic more than determination got the bar up and back to its starting position. The quest was completed and the progress bar to level five was filled in another third. 

Only once the bar was fully returned to its resting position could Leon see the girl standing over him, upside down from his prone view. 

“I was ready to pull that thing off you.” The girl said in something between a mix of condescension and admiration. Leon sat up.

“Umm, thanks.” He said nervously. He recognized this girl from his advanced biology seminar, although she didn't seem to know him. She looked very pretty with her high ponytail and tight yoga pants, which only made his voice stutter more. “I’m Leon.”

“Cassy,” she said.

An idea came to his mind. “Got any tips for this one?” Leon asked, hoping to knock out his remaining quest. 

Before Cassy could answer though a tall man in a low-cut tank top that showed off his ripped torso and cannonball shoulders approached and wrapped his mammoth vascular arms around her. “Cassy, why the fuck are you talking to this fatty?” He asked as if Leon were some flaming garbage outside his window, offensive to his sight. Leon recognized him as a member of Alpha Sigma, one of the best and most dickish fraternities on campus.  

“Fuck off Hunter” Cassy said rolling her eyes.

“Yeah fuck off Hunter” Leon repeated. He instantly regretted it.

Hunter's eyes went wide, and a vein on his neck began to pulse. Leon stared back at him with a level of defiance he knew defied both the social order and logic. Leon had always been brash, a trait now manifested in full force by the extreme comfort he felt in the gym due to his Gym Rat perk.

Cassy shot him a look asking if he was trying to get himself killed then turned to Hunter to defuse the situation. “Come on babe let's go.” 

Hunter heard none of it. He got right up in Leon's face so close Leon could smell the sweat on his body and the ZYN in his breath. “Listen here tubby, this is a gym. The McDonalds is down the street. Now fuck off or I’ll turn your happy meal into chicken tenders. Ya hear?” He stood up and started to walk away Cassy unhappily following after him. “And don’t ever talk to my girl again homo.”

Leon knew he should be scared but instead, he found the whole interaction funny, his “Gym Rat” perk really might be working too well. “Got any gym tips for me” he called after Hunter, wanting to still get something out of the interaction. He couldn’t wait till he was bigger than that arrogant prick and no one could talk to him that way.

The frat bro turned around “Eat a fucking salad” he called. Leon’s last quest remained incomplete. He wondered why for a second then realized it said “exchange workout tips.” 

“You should really get off the roids, it's killing the last two of your brain cells,” Leon called after him. Hunter moved to turn around, probably to beat the shit out of Leon but Cassy grabbed his hand and dragged him away. The quest completed and Leon reached level five. Not too bad for seven charisma he thought proudly. The now familiar ding sounded along with a wall of notifications. Leon began to feel strange. A biting ache began to thrum in the pit of his stomach. Doubled over Leon rushed to the bathroom, careful to head in in the opposite direction of Hunter and Cassy. 

He burst into the empty men's room and then into the nearest stall he could find. As he sat on the toilet the pain intensified. Something was happening and it hurt like all hell.

-

Edward had no idea why Trent had even started talking to him. That wasn’t something people ever did to ugly Edward, maybe point and whisper, but never strike up a conversation and surly never ask him for help. It must be his stupid charisma and perks scrambling everyone's brain he concluded. Edward was about to turn back to Trent and tell him he had made a mistake and that he actually couldn’t help him when he heard “Edward” yell from behind the bar. He saw Tag the sexy fit barista holding a steaming to-go cup and looking around the coffee shop for Edward. Trent gave him an encouraging smile and a thumbs up.

Edward felt as if he was moving in slow motion like he was making his way to the gallows. Tag saw him coming and smiled, extending the drink towards him. Edward reached out to take the drink, his finger ever so slightly brushing up against Tag’s hand in the process. He wasn’t sure if it was the touch or just the proximity but he felt his new “Sage” perk activate in vivid detail.

A picture suddenly flashed in Edward’s mind. A subterranean location full of flashing lights and loud rhythmic music, a rave Edward realized. He saw Tag standing alone in an open button-down shirt showing off sexy tattooed muscles. Edward flashed back to reality. His sudden vision had caused him to linger a bit too long grabbing his drink and he jerked his hand away awkwardly. 

Edward retracted his hand and gave a smile hoping to save the moment. “Hey, are you going to the rave tonight?” Edward asked as casually as he could “I think I have seen you at a few before. I heard the one tonight is supposed to be especially hype.”

Tag seemed surprised for a moment then reassessed Edward his demeanor shifting from customer service friendly, to peer in-group easygoing. “You mean sewer fest? I want to man, but all my friends are busy tonight and I don’t want to go alone.”

“Oh damn that sucks,” Edward said. He was mindful of the stares he was getting from the other students around him but couldn’t bring himself to care, this was going too well. “I wish I could go but I have a paper I have to write tonight. My friend Trent was actually just saying he was thinking about going though.” Edward pointed back at Trent who gave a little wave. 

“Oh, I know him.” Tag said when he saw Trent. “That would be sick man. I really don’t want to miss Sewer Fest. How about this,” he took a cup sleeve and started to write on it, “Give your friend my number and tell him to text me” he handed it to Edward. 

“Will do. You two have fun” Edward said as he walked away. Trent looked at him wide-eyed and was about to say something but Edward made a signal that they shouldn’t talk about it inside.

“This is for you,” Edward said as he handed Trent Tag’s number once they were outside. 

“No way. You're actually a god. How did you do that?” Trent asked amazed.

“Don’t get too excited,” Edward said sheepishly. “You're going to a rave, and it’s in the sewer.” 

“A rave? You know what, I’ll take it. I really can’t thank you enough.” 

“Oh, it was nothing. Honestly, you helped me just as much as I helped you.”

Trent ignored the cryptic comment. “Well I should go, I guess I have to find an outfit to wear to a sewer. Would all white be a bad idea?” He handed Edward his phone. “Will you put your number in my phone? I’ll text you how tonight goes.” 

The two exchanged information then Trent left. Edward stood there sipping his latte, which really was too bitter. He saw Trent typing out a message on his phone as he walked away.

Moments later Edward heard a “ding” as the quest was completed and he reached level five. Notifications sprung up in his vision, more than usual. Edward couldn’t read them, he couldn’t focus on anything. His mostly full coffee slipped out of his hand and spilled onto the ground as a golden nebula sprung up around him and his face and body were wracked with pain. He started to scream.

Arachne cabin hcs 🕷

Mos of the kids of Arachne cabin have long arms and legs, which make them very tall from 6 to 7 feet.

Most of Arachne's kids are tall, but it's not completely rare to find a normal 5-foot kid in Arachne's cabin, but it is uncommon to find them

These kids are arts and crafts masters. They are also insanely creative and intelligent

Their cabin on the outside is black with spider web decoration and their mother's symbol, which is a spider (obvi) , but the inside is filled with items they made from arts and crafts along with some greenery that makes it look a little bit like a terrarium

Some of Arachne cabin aren't just skilled in the arts and crafts department but are very skilled in engineering, design, architecture, and manufacturing

When you're a child of Arachne, your powers kick in very early in your life.

The children of Arachne's powers are similar to Spiderman. Web fluid coming out of your arms, the power to stick to any surface, super strength, stamina, agility and flexibility, and of course the spider senses.

Powers of Arachne's children also include communicating and controlling spiders. They also have the rare ability to see the future, which very few of her children have.

Once you're claimed by Arachne, the symbol of a spider will appear above you, but you will also gain extra sets of arms and eyes, which you can retract once you've trained your abilities, they also get fangs.

They don't like Athena's cabin at all due to the history with both their mothers

Most of the Arachne cabin is very flexible, like an expert in gymnastics, kind of flexible, including very acrobatic.

Believe it or not, some of them do like standing or hanging upside down on the roof of their cabin (it helps get the blood flowing in their opinion)

Arachne's cabin are very distant, with others in camp half blood who aren't a part of their cabin, so they tend to keep to themselves

Their spider senses don't just warn them of danger, but it can also sense another child of Arachne or demigod child. But their senses go crazy if it's one of the big three's children or if Kronos is around

Arachne cabin consider themselves great judges of character

The Arachne cabin also has a love for insects. Not just spiders

Since their mother was a monster before she was a goddess, the children of Arachne have a scent that can help them blend in with other monsters

Due to what they are and their abilities, some of the children of Arachne cabin don't have the best home life or even the greatest self-image of themselves with their extra sets of arms and eyes, but they do find comfort with their half-siblings since they all look freaky to each other and they're not alone.

If a child of Arachne bites you, their fangs are filled with venom, which can cause headaches, pain, swelling, cold sweats, minor hallucinations, nausea, difficulty breathing, paralysis, fevers, aches, and you'll pass out. It also lasts up to a few minutes up to an hour or two, depending on how much venom they injected in you with the bite.

They are also a bit on the emo side

Despite liking spiders and their mother's symbols, being a spider. They don't like blood at all and feel queasy and faint at the sight of blood or even thinking about blood.

The arachne children are also very light on their feet

(Enjoy)

Shadow the series: hopefully an enabling post

I want as many people as are interested to be able to watch this series so as promised: Here's a non-spoilery summary of potential triggers and squicks in Shadow the Series eps 1-7.

The really brief version: this show is really good, lots of intense things happening with family trauma, family violence, mental health, and abuse, but the actual supernatural stuff is pretty mild and the gore and violence is very minimal. There are also light comedy moments, and pining, and friendship, and the mystery is fun to watch unravel, so I didn't find it too spooky (but I have a high spooky tolerance so you may want to take breaks or otherwise do what you need to).

Vomiting

Some creepy music

Slight jump scares

Depictions of drowning

Homophobic slurs

Bullying (including punches)

Scars (potentially self-harm but it's not clear)

Hospitalization for mental illness, psychosis

Mention of antidepressants

Threatening someone's freedom with hospitalization

Accusations of infidelity

Depiction of suicide by hanging (not the actual death, just the body in partial shot)

Description of what sounds like childhood sexual assault from the perspective of a child (non-graphic, vague)

Depictions of alcoholism

Child neglect (feeding a child food they are allergic to)

Allergic reaction in a child

Beating (not too graphic but there is blood on knuckles and blood on face shown)

Funeral, death of a parent (mother and father)

Floating body

Ep 5

Floating body

Systemic inertia (probably not triggering but seriously infuriating)

Mentions of narcotic use

Mentions of bipolar disorder

Creepy mask

Casual mentions of father's death

Implied one-sided teacher/student crush (student hugging teacher from behind)

Non-graphic ghost

Homophobia, bullying

Teacher/student relationship (kissing, implied sexual relationship between older woman and younger male)

Negative self-talk around mental illness and medicating mental illness

Descriptions of hallucinations

Ep6

Smoking (supposed to be marijuana but looks like manufactured cigarettes)

Wet dream resulting from an erotic-coded moment with amorphous smoke (idk how to properly warn for this lol)

Scratches on body (ambiguous source)

Mentions of pregnancy

Implied infidelity (by a married couple)

Slap

Bite, punches

Ep7

Creepy "fun house" with decorations including a lot of bloody handprints/blood-sprayed walls, creepy clown, distorting mirrors, screaming, flashing light, red lighting

Multiple people punched in the head, bruised faces from being punched in the mouth (mostly student-on-student but one parent punching their child)

Vision of multiple bodies on the ground, with pools of blood (brief, no visible wounds, gore is mild)

Clothed heavy makeout between married female teacher and male student

Flash of someone blindfolded and someone with a gun

Implied sexual dream with amorphous smoke

Mention of loss of a limb, dripping of blood (no wound visible)

Mentions of drug use (spoon over a flame shown, implying heroin)

Depictions of someone dying by firing squad as a death sentence (death not shown)

Non-graphic ghost

Someone being choked

The preview for the second half has a bunch more stuff, but nothing that hasn't been warned for in the first half (choking, punching, hanging, creepy mask, amorphous smoke, etc.)

Creating a Cozy Atmosphere with Custom Insulated Curtains: Ideas for Winter Warmth

As winter approaches, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere in your home becomes essential. Custom insulated curtains are a practical and stylish solution for enhancing warmth and comfort during the colder months. This article explores how custom insulated curtains can transform your space and offers ideas for making your home cozier this winter.

1. The Benefits of Custom Insulated Curtains

Custom insulated curtains provide several key advantages that contribute to a cozy winter environment:

Enhanced Insulation: These curtains are designed with multiple layers, including a thermal lining, to block drafts and retain heat. This helps to maintain a consistent indoor temperature and reduce energy costs.

Increased Privacy: Insulated curtains also offer increased privacy by blocking the view from outside, which is particularly valuable during the winter months when days are shorter and nights are longer.

Noise Reduction: The additional layers in insulated curtains can help to dampen outside noise, creating a quieter and more serene indoor environment.

2. Choosing the Right Fabric and Design

Selecting the right fabric and design for your custom insulated curtains is crucial for achieving the desired cozy effect:

Fabric Choices: Opt for heavy-weight fabrics like velvet, thermal polyester, or flannel. These materials provide superior insulation and contribute to a warm, luxurious look.

Color and Patterns: Choose colors and patterns that complement your winter décor. Warm tones like deep reds, rich browns, or forest greens create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Patterns such as plaids or damasks can add a touch of elegance.

3. Layering for Extra Warmth

Layering different types of window treatments can enhance both warmth and style:

Sheer Curtains and Insulated Drapes: Combine custom sheer curtains with insulated drapes for a versatile solution. The sheers allow natural light to filter through while the insulated drapes provide additional warmth and privacy.

Blinds and Shades: Pair insulated curtains with blinds or shades for added insulation and light control. This combination offers flexibility in managing both heat retention and natural light.

4. Complementing Your Winter Décor

Incorporate custom insulated curtains into your winter décor to create a cohesive and cozy look:

Textiles and Accessories: Match your curtains with other winter textiles, such as plush throw blankets, decorative pillows, and cozy rugs. These accessories enhance the overall warmth and comfort of your space.

Window Treatments: Use curtain tiebacks or valances in complementary fabrics to add a decorative touch and complete the look.

5. Installation Tips for Maximum Effectiveness

Proper installation is key to maximizing the benefits of custom insulated curtains:

Cover the Entire Window Area: Ensure that the curtains are wide enough to cover the entire window area and extend beyond the edges to prevent drafts. This provides a complete seal and improves insulation.

Mounting Height: Install curtain rods or tracks at a height that allows the curtains to hang close to the floor. This prevents cold air from seeping in from the bottom and enhances insulation.

6. Maintenance and Care

Maintaining the appearance and functionality of your custom insulated curtains is essential:

Cleaning: Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for cleaning. Many insulated curtains are machine washable, but some may require professional cleaning or spot treatment.

Storage: When not in use, store curtains in a cool, dry place to prevent damage. Use protective covers to keep them clean and free from dust.

7. Conclusion

Custom insulated curtains are a valuable addition to your winter décor, offering enhanced warmth, privacy, and noise reduction. By selecting the right fabric, layering treatments, and complementing your décor, you can create a cozy and inviting atmosphere in your home throughout the colder months.

Make A Great First Impression With These 10 Interior Design Tips

It sounds cliché, but first impressions last the longest. They are the ones who start conversations and command second glances. However, when designing your home, you must incorporate interior design tips that will help you create the best impressions. You could easily achieve your goal with bold and creative thinking. You can then sit back and relax, watching your guests stare at the incredible spaces you have created. 

To make the best impression, here are some top interior design ideas:

Layouts should flow freely

As you create open, free-flowing spaces, you create visual expanses that are both luxurious and elation. The fewer interior walls mean that you get plenty of natural light and good ventilation, which makes you feel connected to the outdoors. Open-plan living-dining kitchens are common, and there is enough space for entertaining. Metal screens could be used to separate the sections into larger areas. The gold tone of the screens could add a luxe effect to the environment. 

A welcoming entryway

To make a great first impression, create a truly inviting and attractive entrance foyer. However, make sure that your interiors are filled with charm. Geometric pattern flooring, a bold rug, slanting console tables, ornate mirrors or artwork on the walls, and a head-turner light are just a few easy ways to make your entrance stand out You can also add contrasting panelling or wallpaper to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Floors with a luxurious feel

Imagine yourself walking on a gleaming natural stone floor and feeling special. You can also try the same effect on wood flooring and some beautifully crafted ceramic or porcelain floors. This is only possible if you pay attention to the quality and aesthetics of the material used and the craftsmanship involved in laying the tiles. Make your flooring shine also with eye-catching inlays or patterns that are an instant visual impact. 

Walls with embellishments

The walls of walls that speak! The beautiful panels, exotically clad or wallpapered walls keep your attention for a long time. Additionally, they add an extra dimension to your interiors, showing the designer's or homeowner's dedication to carefully decorated interiors. You can also implement these quick interior design ideas - hang mirrors, and art, or display a gallery of photographs, paintings, frames, masks, and wall art; paint the walls in a trendy shade. 

Furniture with a statement

Choosing furniture in a space is not just about functionality and practicality, but also about introducing interesting shapes and forms. You can certainly attract attention from onlookers with the aesthetics of your furniture pieces or sets-up. Use our interior design tips to bring a unique look to your interiors with custom furniture carefully created just for you. Thethekedaar also produces custom-designed furniture in our fully-equipped manufacturing facility. 

Lights that turn heads

Lights that offer a sense of style and luxury, such as the show-stopper, are one of the best interior design ideas. Chandeliers, pendant lights, large installations, and a wide variety of items are available to elevate the interior. Their most visible features of them become a significant attraction. 

Luminous metallic glow

Stunning metallic surfaces and accents do not match the glamour they bring to a space. This is why they remain popular among interior designers. You can also create metallic finishes through furniture pieces, as well as décor accessories. Gold, rose gold, and antique finishes have a luxe edge. The sparkling surfaces and finishes add to the sense of sophistication. 

Let's make it up

Interior design tips for creating a great impact, are incomplete without mentioning artworks, whether there is mural art, painting sculpture, wall art or installations. The interiors are given a certain character by them. With artwork, you could also add colour, texture, movement, and dimension to the spaces. 

Handpicked accessories

Decor accessories such as heirloom articles, antiques, collectables, and items picked up during your travels are essential interior design tips to add the finishing touches. However, these finishing elements do not necessarily need to be taken into consideration at the last minute. Decor pieces that really complement and flatter your design theme will tie everything together coherently and leave a lasting impression if you pick them right from the start. 

Plants of life-size

Greenery is an essential element of interior design for all kinds of places, as it enlivens a space like no other object. By paying attention to the selection of plants, you can achieve great aesthetic results. Plants with large, sculptural plants add an impressive look. Drama is a surefire way to draw attention!

Preparing Your Roof for Holiday Decorations: Safety Tips and Best Practices

The holiday season is here, and it’s time to light up your home with festive decorations! While adding a magical touch to your house is exciting, it’s essential to ensure that your roof remains safe and undamaged during the process. At Southern Roofing & Renovations, we want to help Jonesboro homeowners celebrate the season without the worry of costly roof repairs.

Here’s a guide to safely decorating your roof and keeping it in top condition throughout the holiday season.

1. Use the Right Tools and Equipment

Investing in proper tools and equipment can make a huge difference in preventing roof damage and ensuring your safety.

Ladders: Use a sturdy, non-slip ladder and ensure it’s on level ground. Consider having a spotter for extra stability.

Clips Instead of Nails: Avoid using nails, screws, or staples to attach lights or decorations, as they can puncture your roof. Instead, opt for light clips designed to grip shingles or gutters without causing damage.

Protective Shoes: Wear soft-soled, non-slip shoes to minimize the risk of slipping or damaging shingles.

2. Inspect Your Roof Before Decorating

Before putting up decorations, take time to inspect your roof for any signs of damage or wear.

Check for Loose Shingles: Loose or missing shingles should be repaired before hanging decorations.

Clear Debris: Remove leaves, twigs, or other debris that can create slippery surfaces or obstruct decorations.

Inspect Gutters: Ensure your gutters are clear of debris to avoid clogs, which can lead to water backup and damage.

3. Place Decorations Strategically

Decorating your roof is about placement as much as it is about design. A thoughtful approach can save you from unnecessary damage.

Avoid Heavy Decorations: Use lightweight decorations to reduce strain on your roof. Heavy items can cause sagging or damage to shingles and structures.

Stay Clear of Fragile Areas: Keep decorations away from skylights, vents, and chimneys to prevent damage to these vulnerable areas.

Distribute Weight Evenly: If you’re using large displays, make sure the weight is evenly distributed across the roof.

4. Be Mindful of Electrical Safety

Holiday lights are a staple of the season, but improper installation can lead to electrical hazards.

Use Weatherproof Lights: Ensure all lights and extension cords are rated for outdoor use and weatherproofed.

Avoid Overloading Circuits: Plugging too many lights into a single outlet can create a fire hazard. Use surge protectors and follow the manufacturer’s guidelines.

Secure Cords Properly: Keep cords secured and out of pathways to prevent tripping hazards.

5. Protect Yourself and Your Roof During Installation

Climbing on a roof can be dangerous, especially during winter when surfaces may be slick from frost or rain.

Work During the Day: Always decorate in daylight when visibility is best. Avoid working during icy or wet conditions.

Use Safety Harnesses: If your decorations require you to get onto the roof, wear a safety harness for added protection.

Avoid Walking on the Roof: Minimize walking on the roof whenever possible. If you must, walk on the strongest parts of the roof, such as near the edges, and avoid stepping on shingles.

6. Take Decorations Down Carefully

The holiday fun doesn’t stop with putting up decorations—it extends to taking them down safely, too.

Remove Clips Gently: Don’t yank or pull decorations down, as this can tear shingles or damage gutters.

Check for Damage: After removing decorations, inspect your roof again to ensure no harm was done during the season.

Store Properly: Organize your lights and clips in a safe place to ensure they’re ready for next year.

Celebrate the Season with Confidence

Decorating your roof is a great way to spread holiday cheer, but it’s important to prioritize safety and care for your roof. At Southern Roofing & Renovations, your trusted roofers in Jonesboro, AR, we’re here to help if you encounter any roof issues or need a professional inspection after the holidays.

Case studies 

Case Study 1: Rejuvenation of a Modern Farmhouse with Antique-Style Door Knobs 

Context: 

A Texas homeowner was revamping their modern farmhouse. The interiors were sleek and contemporary, but the homeowner felt that some rustic charm should be incorporated without detracting from the modern look. 

Solution: 

They picked antique-style brass door knobs with an aged finish for all interior doors, completed with matching hinges and plates. 

Results:

Case Study 2: Increasing Property Curb Appeal in an Older Home 

Overview: 

A New York real estate investor was renovating a 1920s house to sell. The house was gorgeous, with great architectural details, but the house had some very worn-out, mismatched original door knobs. 

Solution: 

The investor replaced old knobs with antique-style glass and brass knobs that would mirror the period's design. The replacements will make sure to fit the home's vintage feel and inject new lock mechanisms. 

Results:

The home sold 10% above the asking price for it, and a number of the potential buyers admitted it was the restored charm that made them go for the house. 

One buyer specifically told how the door knobs "felt like a piece of history." 

The price of the knobs was compensated by the enhanced value of the property. 

Case Study 3: Making a Minimalist Apartment More Personalized with Antique-Style Knobs 

Background: 

A young couple in London just bought a minimalist apartment but thought the interior was too bare. They wanted to add subtle character without overwhelming the space. 

They put antique-style matte black door knobs on all doors and the same on cabinets and wardrobes. The subtle yet elegant design gave a vintage feel to the space while keeping it clean and modern. 

Outcome: Guests would comment on the style of the knobs. The knobs added warmth to an otherwise stark decor. Installation was easy and affordable. It was a quick, impactful upgrade.

Bathroom Accessories for Small-Space Solutions

Creating a functional and stylish bathroom in a small space can be challenging but incredibly rewarding. With the right bathroom accessories and thoughtful design, you can maximize your bathroom’s utility while maintaining an elegant aesthetic. Whether you’re working with a compact apartment bathroom or a cozy powder room, strategic choices can make all the difference.

As a trusted bathroom accessories manufacturer in Rajkot, Flybird Hardware offers innovative, space-saving solutions to help you transform your small bathroom into a masterpiece of efficiency and style.

Why Small Bathrooms Need Smart Accessories

In small bathrooms, every inch matters. Poorly chosen fixtures can make the space feel cramped, while smartly designed bathroom accessories for small bathrooms can create an illusion of openness and order. Accessories such as compact wash basin sinks, decorative bathroom hardware sets, and modern bathroom designs allow you to maximize functionality without compromising on style.

Top Space-Saving Bathroom Accessories

Compact Wash Basin Options

A wash basin in bathroom is essential, but for small spaces, a compact or wall-mounted design works best. These designs free up valuable floor space, making the room feel larger. Flybird Hardware provides sleek washbasin models that combine functionality with modern aesthetics, ideal for minimalist spaces.

Wall-Mounted Shelves and Cabinets

In small bathrooms, vertical space is your best friend. Install bathroom basin cabinets or floating shelves to keep toiletries organized without cluttering countertops. Pair these with durable and stylish cabinet handle designs from Flybird Hardware to elevate your bathroom’s look.

Towel Racks and Hooks

Instead of bulky towel stands, opt for wall-mounted or behind-the-door racks. These save floor space while keeping towels within easy reach. Accessories like stainless steel door handles can double as towel bars for a sleek, multi-functional solution.

Mirror Cabinets

A mirror with integrated storage is a must-have for small bathrooms. It not only hides clutter but also makes the bathroom appear larger by reflecting light and adding depth. Pair it with modern glass door handles to maintain a clean and contemporary vibe.

Multi-Purpose Accessories

Smart designs like combination soap dispensers, toothbrush holders, and shower caddies help streamline bathroom organization. Look for products in modern bathroom accessories collections that fit snugly in corners or hang neatly from walls.

Design Ideas to Enhance Small Bathrooms

Beyond accessories, the design of your small bathroom can significantly impact its functionality. Incorporating these tips with bathroom accessories for small spaces will ensure a harmonious balance of style and practicality:

Go Vertical

Maximize wall space by installing tall cabinets or vertical towel racks. Use slim profiles to avoid overcrowding the room. Pair storage units with long wardrobe handles or brass hardware for a luxurious finish.

Embrace Minimalism

Stick to a neutral color palette, such as whites, beiges, or soft pastels, to create an open feel. Use matching bathroom basin cabinet handles to maintain a cohesive look.

Choose Space-Saving Fixtures

Opt for fixtures like wall-hung toilets, floating vanities, and frameless glass showers. These reduce visual clutter and give the bathroom a contemporary edge.

Incorporate Mirrors

Mirrors are an essential tool for small bathrooms. Install a full-length mirror or a large round mirror above the sink to amplify the space. Choose a mirror frame that matches your bathroom accessories for a seamless look.

Green Trend: Incorporating Eco-Friendly Elegance into Your Wedding

As we enter into the year 2024, a new appreciation of sustainability and mindfulness has transformed beautiful ceremonies into meaningful ones. A couple might embrace green to create their unique, thoughtful ceremonies by reflecting upon how much love they have for one another as well as the planet. One of the most classic ways to get in tune with nature is the color green.

Green symbolizes harmony, growth, and new beginnings—the very elements that make up the spirit of marriage. In the chakra, green represents love and balance through its association with the heart. From the delicate mint tone to emerald, the color can really add to every detail of your wedding. Let's explore how you can make your wedding eco-friendly without compromising your sustainable values.

The Symbolism of Green in Weddings

Green is more than just a color; it represents something emotional and cultural. Renewal, peace, love, and blossoming of the above qualities every couple wants to nurture on their journey through life. To eco-friendly couples, green symbolizes nature, making it ideal for the mindful, sustainable wedding.

Soft mint greens provide a soothing, serene feel. Deep emerald adds a bold, regal feel to the palette. Green can focus on beauty and purpose when used tastefully.

Mint Green: Calm and Serene

Mint green will be ideal for couples who desire subtle elegance. The pastel softness of the mint color calms the setting and is best for day or outdoor weddings. Integrate touches of mint green via the bridesmaids' dresses, table setting, or even in your bridal shoes.

Vegan materials and made-to-order craftsmanship for perfectly green bridal shoes cut waste while fitting sustainability. Shoes made using plant-based leather or recycled parts not only fit the green theme but also support ethical practices.

Emerald Green: Regal and Luxurious

Emerald green is the definition of richness and luxury. For great evening receptions or a formal ceremony, emerald green is just fabulous and perfect. Gold will perfectly do with this deep color in creating a very royal effect. Brides may take emerald-green sarees or lehengas while grooms can do a subtle touch of green within the attire through pocket squares or ties.

Some great, environmentally-friendly shoes will be stunning if they are in emerald tones made from low-impact materials, and manufactured in a morally responsible way. Look for handcrafted shoes that are made to last so they don't have to be replaced frequently.

Ways to Incorporate Green in Your Wedding

Use Fresh Greenery: Use fresh foliage, potted plants, or hanging greens to decorate instead of cut flowers. Succulent centerpieces and eucalyptus garlands are great alternatives that are low-waste and can be used again or replanted after the wedding.

Eco-Friendly Invites: Create digital invites or stick to plantable seed paper to print them. These eco-friendly alternatives reduce waste and lend a personal touch to your big day.

Green-Themed Wear: Infuse green tones into wedding wear. The bride can wear light green lehengas while the groom can add emerald accents to the sherwani. Make use of locally available fabrics so that carbon footprint is decreased.

Sustainable wedding favors: Give meaningful favors like potted plants, reusable glass jars, or soy candles. These practical, eco-friendly reminders for growth, love, and connection are given.

Ethical footwear choices: Wedding footwear are not necessarily a fashion sacrifice. Look for vegan leather, recycled materials, or shoes with small-batch ethical production. These will work on your values, and they are nicely made, too. 

The Emotional Impact of Green

Besides the aesthetic beauty, it brings serenity and a sense of joy in relation to your wedding. Having it associated with the heart chakra, love is intensified, and so too is unity, putting everything in harmony. The gentle hint of mint green creates a serene atmosphere, while emerald richness brings boldness, energy, and zestfulness to every moment.

Conclusion: A Celebration of Love and Sustainability

So, a glimpse of green at your wedding means a whole lot more than just being in style; it speaks a lot about value and care towards love and sustainability. This is from mindful decoration to eco-friendly attires and ethical footwear, all decisions towards bettering the world.

As you begin your journey together, let green symbolize growth, harmony, and flowering love. Whether in the décor, your bridal look, or shoes made from vegan and sustainable materials, it can be a celebration of both nature and heart in your wedding.

You will join the green trend, unifying two hearts in one while making a difference for the planet. Let your wedding stand as a testament to love, purpose, and elegance, step by step.

The Versatility of Custom Sheer Curtains: From Daylight Diffusion to Elegant Displays

Custom sheer curtains are a versatile window treatment option that can enhance the look and feel of any room. These lightweight and translucent curtains offer a range of benefits, from diffusing natural light to adding an elegant touch to your décor. This article explores the versatility of custom sheer curtains and provides ideas for using them in various settings.

1. The Appeal of Custom Sheer Curtains

Custom sheer curtains are known for their delicate and airy appearance, which adds a touch of elegance to any room:

Light Diffusion: Sheer curtains allow natural light to filter through while softening its intensity. This creates a gentle, diffused light that brightens rooms without the harshness of direct sunlight.

Elegant Aesthetic: The translucent nature of sheer curtains adds a sense of sophistication and grace. They are ideal for creating a refined and stylish look in both modern and traditional interiors.

2. Practical Uses for Sheer Curtains

Custom sheer curtains offer practical benefits that enhance their versatility:

Daylight Control: Sheer curtains diffuse daylight, reducing glare while maintaining a light and airy ambiance. This makes them perfect for living rooms, dining areas, and other spaces where natural light is desired without overwhelming brightness.

Privacy Enhancement: While sheer curtains do not provide complete privacy, they do obscure the view from outside while still allowing you to enjoy the view. This is particularly useful in spaces where you want to maintain a connection with the outdoors.

3. Styling Ideas for Sheer Curtains

Incorporate custom sheer curtains into your décor with these styling ideas:

Layering with Other Treatments: Combine sheer curtains with heavier drapes or blinds to create a versatile window treatment solution. This layering allows you to adjust light levels and privacy as needed while maintaining the soft, elegant look of sheers.

Elegant Displays: Use sheer curtains as a decorative element by choosing fabrics with intricate patterns or textures. Sheer curtains can also be draped over a decorative rod or track for a stylish display.

4. Customization Options

Customize your sheer curtains to suit your style and functional needs:

Fabric Choices: Select from a variety of sheer fabrics, including voile, organza, and lace. Each fabric offers different levels of translucency and texture.

Design Features: Customize the design with features such as pleats, grommets, or tiebacks. These details enhance the curtains’ appearance and functionality.

Color and Pattern: Choose colors and patterns that complement your existing décor. Neutral shades offer a subtle look, while bold patterns can serve as focal points.

5. Installation and Maintenance

Proper installation and care are important for maintaining the beauty and functionality of your sheer curtains:

Installation Tips: Install sheer curtains with a curtain rod or track that allows them to hang freely. Ensure that they are slightly longer than the window frame for a graceful drape.

Care Instructions: Sheer fabrics are generally easy to care for. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for washing and cleaning to avoid damage. Many sheer curtains are machine washable or can be gently hand-washed.

6. Conclusion

Custom sheer curtains offer a versatile and elegant solution for managing light and enhancing décor. Their ability to diffuse daylight, provide privacy, and add a touch of sophistication makes them a valuable addition to any room. By customizing your sheer curtains and incorporating them into your interior design, you can create a beautiful and functional living space.
