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.

Correction Time: The Force

When I first posted this (well, a photo taken in the same set) I thought it was a flourescent tube. Turns out that I was wrong and HBcubs is actually taking on a lightsaber through his giant labret. It’s lucky that piercing is there, because as I understand it, otherwise he’d just be a pile of clothes on the floor.

    the only reason old “ben kenobi” became a pile o fclothes is because he chose to die and enter the force . Under “normal” circunstance it just cuts and corridarizes all wounds clean.
