THE INSOMNIA MEME BEGINS


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?


i n s t r u c t i o n s

• Post with your character (note the name and fandom in the subject).
• Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10.
• Have fun!


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.

"It's never a bad time to drink, buddy," Tony says as he pours himself some scotch and steps down from the platform the bar is on towards the sofa. He's already got a dozen ideas in his head, most of which are flash in the pan and will never come to see the light of day. He's learned to ignore them, to dull the sorrow of being only one man with two hands with liquor.

Too bad. Some of his ideas are revolutionary. But sometimes he'd rather sit groggily on his sofa with a teammate that rarely visits and some alcohol.

"Wanna tell me what this is about? Dating advice? Fashion advice?" Because honestly, Thor...it's either curtains or lumberjack clothes for you!

"Curtains? You make jest at my attire?" He smirks and wanders over taking a seat on the opposite side of the sofa. He'd been told to respect personal space more by some.

"I have been told to not let you dress me by few. But we speak not often Stark. And upon some nights recently I grow restless. My brother remains imprisoned and I leave Jane to her work as I have done for few months"

When he thinks back. He'd actually been on his own for a little while now.

"I simply wish for a friendly face. Even if the timing is odd" He takes another long drink.

Who can argue with that? Tony rubs a hand over his eyes, drink already gone. Pepper doesn't like it when he drinks, which is probably why she spends all of her time cheating on him with the company. It's sort of her pride and joy and she does a great job with it. Tony just never gets to see her any more. And that's probably why he's started up on his old ways again.

Not just the alcohol.

But the other bedmates too.

"I've never been told I've got a friendly face, and who told you not to let me dress you? Or at least give you pointers on that facial hair of yours!" It grows like wild fire and it gets them off the topic of Loki. Tony knows that still hurts.

"I believe to be the Widow" Yeah it was her. She said it was always a bad idea. Since the last time Thor ended up in a dress.

"My facial hair is fine Stark it needs not to look like your own" He knew if he let him style him at all he would just ended up looking like another Tony.

"But even though you may not see it yourself. You always look like you are open for company." He looks to him carefully. "Your expression showed a little discomfort for a moment. Is all well for you?"
