👍 Good Posture
I've always had lots of friends online, most from school and gaming. Sometimes I got so lost in our conversations, I forgot about everything else for hours and ended up completely hunched over my phone. Mom always reminded me to keep a good posture, but being young and stubborn, I didn't really care.
One day my friends saw how hunched I was at school and started teasing me mercilessly, someone even sent me a meme with a person in a ridiculous position, looking like they were sitting on their own back while typing on a laptop! "Look, that's you in 10 years!"
They laughed hysterically and almost made me mad at first but then something unexpected happened. Looking at the image, an odd feeling took hold of me – a strange mix of jealousy and fascination. What would it be like to sit on your own back like that?
My mind raced imagining myself doing it and talking to my friends all day, curled up in this weird way that looked oddly comfortable. I've always been flexible, that's probably why my spine slouched so easily, so for some reason, I suddenly felt confident that if I trained hard enough, I too could sit on my back very soon.
The next day I rushed to enroll in the contortion class offered by our school's gym. It wasn't easy at all, stretching backwards for hours and enduring the pressure until my muscles screamed in protest, but every day I looked at the meme again and pushed myself harder, fueled by my goal to impress mom with the perfect posture!
After months of intense training, I finally achieved what seemed impossible to me at first – being able to sit on my own back, with my knees on the floor to my sides of my head. This pose was called the "triplefold", but all my friends just called it the "turtle".
I didn't care about it though, I was too carried away by the thrill of doing something so cool! The guys at contortion club told me I was double-jointed, which meant I had naturally flexible joints, making it easier for me than most people. It appeared that slouching too much eventually made me discover a hidden talent within myself.
I've already won two contortion competitions and am planning to join national contortion team after mastering a few more difficult poses like the full 360-degree oversplit and the 360-degree torso twist.
Mom is super proud of me now, even though technically I'm on phone more than ever before, because most of the stretches require me to hold them for 10-15 minutes and it helps being able to chat with friends while on it.
I hope one day I'll be good enough to get viral and become a meme myself!

It can be confusing... although the contortion enthusiast clearly sees the triplefold... a normal person thinks it is tilted... an animation or other drawing would be nice to reveal the surprise.

Haha yeah, I see what you mean! It took me a while to make sure it looked like he was sitting on his own back and not just leaning forward on the bed haha

In the turtle position...or snail position, if you have any illustrations... I would have always liked to see this pose but with the torso inside a turtle shell, with the feet coming out from behind and what we see in front... it would be a good illustration for this character.

Sorry, I didn't understand the idea, probably due to a bad translation...
