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.

Lucid Interval


And so here we have Nihilist (foreground), sporting the latest in, um, big-ass bones in his septum. Also, a Cephalic Carnage shirt, a band ye olde Wikipedia describes as “deathgrind,” which is one of the most bad-ass compound words English has to offer. I knew a guy in high school who loved their music, which sort of sounds like a fighter jet raping a tank, but I’m glad they exist, if for no other reason than to ensure terms like “deathgrind” remain active in the lexicon. And of course, the background mustache really ties the whole thing together, as always.

    one day, the “ironic mustache” trend will die. Hopefully a quiet death.

    Is that the femur of a baby? B/c for a “big-ass bone” that is about an 1/8th of the size of an adult femur. An adult femur through the septum, now that’s bad ass!

    Cephalic Carnage rules. I like this.

    If only mustache guy’s taste in facial hair was as excellent as his shirt choice…

    Amebix, Cephalic Carnage, mustaches, and cute boys – this picture has everything a girl could ever ask for.

    The Alchemist – It couldn’t be a baby femur because the head and greater trochantar are fully fused although the less trochantar is apparently missing, so it might be a mutant femur. I’ll give you that. Damn those anatomically incorrect novelty pens! And I agree about the adult femur through a septum, now thats something I want to see on modblog! Somebody take that as a challenge!!!

    I’m definitely going to have to side with Cephalic Carnage on this one.

    Plus, he’s from Eau Claire. Go Wisconsin.
