Ryan is having quite the bad day, so much that he put his Top 3 like a top music list. He does not pass the ✨vibe✨ check. Again, drawing is mine. He's technically leaning on Jesse, but she's not here in this. #WIPSnips #WritingCommunity #WriteSky #WritingPrompts #wmhst #art #ocart #oc

[light green background with black text with the word 'vibe' in white. a drawing of my character ryan over to the right. description will be after the passage] [the passage:] The rest of my day has exactly the same vibe. Man, I swear I'm not usually this forgetful or stupid! To sum it up, the unfortunate Top 3: 3) I get a D on my English paper, which I worked really fucking hard on! 2) New seating arrangements in French 3 has me now sitting next to Paulie's crazy ex— by which I mean she actually stalked him and caused some major-ass drama —and this arrangement is all for group projects which means I have to work with her, too. Yay! 1) And to top it off, I'm now wearing sweaty-ass gym shorts I shoulda taken home a week ago because I sat in chocolate pudding during lunch. Some kids still call me Tinkles from an incident that happened years ago, I didn't need to add Poopsy or Shitter to my roster of crude nicknames. — Dungoens & Drama: Don't Tell Him He's a Cat, Chapter 1, Ryan's POV [end of passage, start of the drawing description:] A drawing of my character Ryan, a teenage boy from the 2000s in a standing leaning pose against the "wall of text" with his arms crossed and his head look tilting down and over at the "wall". I didn't draw the face, but he has light skin with dark, short hair centered in the middle, and patchy facial hair and visible body hair over his arms, legs, and peeking out from under his shirt; a strand of neon green hangs the opposite way on his forehead. He is wearing a dark green tank top that says "Some Band" but only "Ome" is visible, greenish-gray cargo shorts, dark gray sketchers-like sneakers with the giant S. He is also wearing a pair of pink over-the-ear headphones with a cat logo on the earcuff—a gift from Paulie, and two beaded necklaces, the longer one is brown, the shorter one is supposed to also be from Paulie.

The large, looming figure bent down on one knee, studying me. I was nearly flattened on the ground, staring at the one towering over me. He leaned in closer. Time was slowing down. My muscles stiffened and I stared – I was watching a dangerous predator ready to sink its teeth in and finish the job. I tried to think of a way out, but it came up blank. I saw something I shouldn’t have. I was going to die right there. “Rise,” he commanded. The power in his voice reverberated throughout my body. The weight holding me down loosened, and I sat up with ease. Words escaped me when a large arm stretched out. Somehow, I was compelled to take it, feeling safe to do so. Before our hands made contact, a static spark struck me from his fingertip, and I was instantly transported back to that snowy pathway under the northern lights. Background is the top of a body of water.
