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.

    I play too much D&D, if there is such a thing as “too much D&D” so to me he looks like a deformed half-orc.

    Hope he doesn’t take that as an insult, I think he’s rather handsome…
