The 'Smoking In Bed' art trend gained significant traction on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Bluesky, where artists depict various characters—often fan favorites or original characters—sharing a cigarette in a dimly lit bedroom setting. This aesthetic trend focuses on mood, intimacy, and the 'cool' factor of post-activity contemplation. While it originated as a way for artists to showcase their lighting skills and character dynamics, it quickly evolved into a meme template where users label the figures to represent relatable situations, such as ignoring responsibilities or shared moments of mental exhaustion. It serves as both a high-effort art challenge and a versatile vessel for humorous social commentary and character shipping.
