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.

    There’s just no blood in the area that’s why it’s white.
    like how your knuckles go white when you clench your fists.

    I have my ears stretched to 0g, and actually carabinears fit perfectly. Sometimes I wear them as earings, since I miss wearing hoops…

    That is not a happy ear. All I can picture is a wet “pop” noise. o_O Some people need to learn to ignore the urge to cause a photo-op.

    Some people need to ignore the urge to sound like they know everything.

    It does not take that much force to make a lobe look like that, or any other part of the body.
