Teen™️ and like four of his rowing teammates all have this uni, and one of them posted in a wrap-up of pictures of the season a shot of them all doing the Spider-Man meme. 10/10 no notes.

I’ve read enough Stephen King to know there’s a New England mist monster slavering out there in the fog, so yeah, I’m absolutely letting Teen™️ take the lead.
