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.

    Um, don’t know if this is some massive breach of posting etiquette or something, but I gotta do this. Mr. Larratt, forgive me, though I don’t agree with Wil on the matter of one of your newest mods, I think this one point of his (and friends) needs to be passed along to Paul and Captain Dale:

    I will never understand this aesthetic, whether constructed with lighting or photoshop, that makes the texture and imperfections of people’s skin completely disappear in an image. Not a fan.

    I like her flowers, though.
