the insomnia meme

the i n s o m n i a meme

It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?

o p t i o n s

01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

THEY ARE those are the ones i need but i have so many teasing/grinning ones i don't have room

He's really grouchy, isn't he? He's pretty much always angry, so he must be really easy for you to tease. But if you can get him to play with you that often, he must like you or something.

[Which is a little surprising but maybe not. She has talent after all. He probably likes all of his classmates...some more than others she imagines but they could even get him to let them sleep over.

They must really be special. Except that stupid red head, anyway. But he probably even likes her thanks to her talent...]


Natsumi. Do I get to call you Ibuki-chan then?

Natsumi-chan can call Ibuki whatever she likes! I to the B to the U to the K to the I! It's Mioda Ibuki!

[ she's someone that natsumi could have heard of. after all, "afterschool poyoyon hour" was top of the charts for ages, and ibuki was the lead singer and guitarist for that nonsense. her style has...changed, but her voice was beautiful and it was catchy popular garbage ibuki hated but that everyone else ate right up. the super high school level light music club member grins as she bursts into the kitchen, immediately going about opening cabinets and the fridge and drawers to familiarize herself with where everything is. she at least isn't slamming stuff shut, though, since she wants to eat before getting caught? ]

Fuyuhiko-chan has no choice but to like Ibuki, because she's suuuuuuper charming, you know!
tookforgranite: They are your little sister's age this is a delicate matter! (They are my age!)

basically

[Wait--]

Mioda Ibuki?

[There's definitely recognition in her voice. Sure, she might be yakuza and she might be related to Fuyuhiko "teenage grandpa" Kuzuryuu, but she's still a victim to catchy popular garbage as much as most people are.]

Really? Oniichan is classmates with Mioda Ibuki? He didn't tell me that! What the hell, I'm going to kick his ass!

[That is definitely the kind of thing you tell your little sister!! What the actual fuck Fuyuhiko? You don't tell your classmates about her, you don't tell her that Ibuki's one of said classmates, this is two strikes buddy!!]
k_on: (look out)

[personal profile] k_on 2016-09-19 05:16 am (UTC)(link)
[ IBUKI IS CLEARLY THE #BEST CLASSMATE HE HAS or at least the most recognizable to a teenage girl??? like. sonia is a princess maybe she'd be recognizable, but the rest of them don't have super marketable talents in the teen pop culture sense. teen girls probably don't watch a lot of classical dancing, although maybe they do? but a pop song is. yeah. ]

Ehhhh?! He didn't spread Ibuki's word to the masses?! Ibuki's disappointed! She'll have to sing at him at least a hundred times more!

[ sorry kuzuryuu fuyuhiko...anyway ibuki is now actually pulling out ingredients and utensils. she actually does seem to kind of know what she's doing! it's not grilling shit with a guitar but she was good enough at making sweets to make a chocolate bust of herself and she's actually pretty decent at home-maker things like...sewing all her own clothes... ]

Natsumi-chan! What's your favorite flavor for sweets?! It better be something good!
tookforgranite: into this mess. I gotta get myself out. Plus, don't you only need one kidney? (And I just want you to know I got myself)

[personal profile] tookforgranite 2016-09-19 05:26 am (UTC)(link)
[She has no clue who anyone is really...Ibuki is truly the best one.]

We can double-team him! I'll hold him, you sing! It'll be a perfect combo!

[Surely her catchy pop music will drive him crazy.]

Hmmmmm...I think I'm going to have to say chocolate. But chocolate goes good with basically anything, so if you've got a good idea on how to spice it up surprise me! I trust you Ibuki-chan!
