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.

    Oh, if this is somehow in relation to the children’s book ‘Imogene’s Antlers,’ I’m so impressed! I loved that book when I was a kid! Also, it would make sense in the modded world since it’s basically about people accepting those who are different (and proud of it) despite their appearance. 🙂
