A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Awwwww, YEAH!

ModBlog, meet Shawn (who solemnly swears that he is up to no good)..

    Eating habits do not fucking matter when you have a high metabolism. You’re all just mad because you’re a bunch of fatties.
