Caption patterns to try
| Pattern | Why it works |
|---|---|
| Floating boy: the deadline I've been ignoring / Running boy: me opening literally any other app | This works because it gives the reader a specific situation instead of a vague label. |
| Floating boy: that one intrusive thought at 3am / Running boy: me trying to sleep | This pattern keeps the setup concrete, which helps the template carry the reaction. |

Common mistakes with this blank
- Writing a caption that explains the whole joke instead of letting the floating boy chasing running boy image do part of the work.
- Placing text over the most expressive part of the image, especially faces, gestures, signs, or the main action.
- Using three different ideas in one meme. This template works better when it points at one clear situation.
- Exporting before checking the meme at phone size. If the smallest words blur together, shorten the caption first.
