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.

    YES!
    All modified people can’t resist the temptation to pull the scrunch face. Especially medusa/septum wearers.

    There should be a gallery just for the scrunch face and just get everyone to send them in.
    Do it do it do it.
