MC who is physically aggressive in their sleep

Wrote this on my phone, so sorry if the formatting sucks.

This one came to me because I saw this art post in which Azul gets woken up by the Tweels by an aggressive tackle, and I mused to myself "How would I handle waking up that way?"

And I remembered that I am notoriously a physically aggressive sleeper.

I'm talking, my brother once came into my room and grabbed me to wake me up, and the only thing I remember is waking up to someone touching me and opening my eyes to realize my fist was primed to punch him and my hand was gripping his shirt to hold him in place.

".. You ASKED me to wake you up??"

".. I am so sorry. You are so right. My b."

So this one goes out to my peeps who wake up swinging like they're in a bar fight.

First and foremost, characters who love to mess with people and see what makes them tick? They're gonna fuckin' love this little problem of yours. The first time you wake up swinging at them, they're going to get a thrill out of it, out of getting to see a new side of you. Bonus points if you're normally a chill person, because this is gonna make them see stars.

Responsible characters will find it off-putting and will earnestly be a little shocked at first. They'll make the connection pretty quickly that you probably had something in your life that made this a problem for you. Some environment of survival, where you weren't safe, even in your sleep. I hope you like protective people, because once a responsible character realizes this is a defense mechanism, they're gonna do everything within their power to make you feel physically safe. They might also be itching to personally kick some ass on your behalf.

Characters with a rough past might feel a certain kindredness with you. Seeing you become aggressive at being touched in your sleep would surprise them at first, but they'd instantly get it. They'd apologize, and if you tried to apologize for almost tearing their lights right out of their head, they'd probably just go "Nah, it was my bad for touching you in your sleep. Your reaction was fine." - If they weren't already hanging out with you, they definitely gravitate towards you now.

Sweet characters will probably panic. You wake up to wide eyes and cowering. When you get flustered and apologize, they just get kind of quiet and ask why you do that when touched in your sleep. Even if you tell them it's nothing serious, and that you feel more embarassed that anything, they will absolutely take it more personally. I feel like sweet characters would fall into two subsects where some would be scared/nervous around you when you're asleep - Meanwhile, others would catch on way more quickly than anyone else that it's a defense mechanism, and their anger on your behalf would be palpable.

Chill characters would laugh it off like "Haha, what the fuck my guy" but they'd probably be calculating what kinds of environments or incidents could have caused you to do that.

Your best bud type characters would scoff like "What the FUCK- CHILL" and probably reprimand you for scaring the crap out of them, but they'd also start asking a lot of questions. If you don't like answering questions, be prepared for them to tell everyone and their mother "Don't wake ___ up, they'll beat the crap outta you for it". You will never live it down, and they WILL laugh at you for it.

Calculating characters would probably be caught offguard if they woke you up and you almost punched their lights out. Temporarily shaken that they hadn't anticipated this outcome, they might need a minute before they'll re-regulate again. They will also be infinitely more interested in learning about you, since they obviously don't know enough.

Stoic characters wouldn't be phased by it, but they also would be concerned for you. Might tell the responsible characters about what you did so they can help you, if they feel like they themselves aren't equipped to help you.

Bonus;

Non-human characters wonder if this is a human trait, and have to have this idea challenged by other humans. God help whatever circumstance or people made you the "Wake up swinging" brand of fucked up, because if the non-human discovers it's a sign if trauma, they're gonna be ready to tear some heads off.

MC Who Can’t Sleep Well When Excited About Something

This one’s taking a page right outta my own book tonight, as I cannot FUCKIN’ sleep, and it is COMPLETELY because I’m excited for something happening this weekend. ----- This is an MC who is rarely flappable. This MC remains relatively unflapped in most circumstances. It’s hard to get them flustered or get them to show a more unkempt aspect about themselves. The majority of the characters consider them to be suave, or at the very least, charismatic to a point. They figure the stoic responses to the world around them is because they’ve seen it all, lived it all, and they’re worldly in that regard.

But this is not because this MC has so much experience under their belt, this MC just doesn’t cognitively experience their most intense emotions. They only physically experience those emotions. Anxious? Their leg is tapping, but this MC doesn’t skip a beat and is pretty useful in the dialogue. Scared? This MC’s heart is pounding away, but they continue to press forward and even appear to think fairly rationally under the pressure. It’s a trauma response, to be sure - MC’s had it rough, and the best way to survive and keep their head above water was to shut down their emotional responses so they could use their brain. The body just didn’t get the memo. The kicker is when this MC falls for someone. They don’t really realize it themself - They enjoy the person’s company, sure, but they don’t see that person in a romantic light at first. This MC focused way more on friendship than they ever did romance, and so they’re surrounded by a cast of close-knit friends who love them and want to take care of them in any way they can. So this MC finds themselves struggling to sleep at night. They take stock of their body, and their body keeps saying “Hey, I need to be hugged” - It’s only a coincidence that they’re thinking of that special person whenever this happens, right? Soon, they find themselves unable to sleep at all after speaking with that special person. If it’s through text, the MC finds themselves looking through pages of shared chat histories, unable to sleep. If it’s through calls, MC finds themselves unable to sleep because they keep replaying the person’s words in their head. In person? MC can’t sleep because they’re too busy basking in the afterglow of seeing that special person. It’s just as bad when MC has a big event they’re looking forward to. The cast at large find this to be a mix of concerning and adorable. On one hand, their generally unflusterable MC is now so flustered that they can’t even sleep properly! It’s like a kid excited for Christmas. On the other hand, their MC isn’t sleeping well, which isn’t great for their health. So when the MC is struggling to sleep, you’ll get a mix of the cast trying to support them. If MC is attracted to someone, they’ll tell that person that they’re struggling to sleep, but they won’t tell them why. Cool-headed/responsible characters tend to try to take care of MC’s needs and help them avoid caffeine during weeks where they’ve got something really big and important coming up. Making them food, or helping them stick to a schedule. MC can’t stick to a schedule easily, but the food and reminders are really helpful for operating at less than 100%. Dumb-Of-Ass/Heart-Of-Gold characters will try to find various methods to knock MC out. “MC, I heard Melatonin can help you sleep better!” “I also heard that eating lots of peppers before you sleep can help you sleep better!” MC ends up getting some really weird-ass dreams and getting conked out hard (Almost unable to go about their day) because of these characters. Passionate/Family-loving characters tend to bring MC home remedies that their parents or grandparents or caretakers taught them for a rough night of insomnia. These are all varying levels of helpful. Sometimes they work like a charm. Sometimes they have zero effect. Sometimes techniques that worked well before don’t work the next time, and vice-versa. Home remedies are a complete gamble for MC, but the company of the people doting on them is always nice. Grouchy/Intimidating characters tend to hoist MC up and forcibly attempt to make them go to bed, thinking it’s just a matter of mind over matter. When MC is physically incapable of sleeping for four hours, spending the whole night tossing and turning, the Grouchy/Intimidating characters then switch tracks to finding someone who CAN help MC sleep better, looking for the answers so they can fix this problem. It’s much less about MC’s wellbeing (Though that is a big part of it) and much more about this lil’ insomnia problem getting in the way of activities they wanna do with MC. Rich/Resourceful characters focus on creature comforts for MC, making sure they’ve got good blankets and pillows and cozy things that help to soothe the nerves before slumber. They’ll cover every possible angle of coziness and comfort. Resourceful characters are discerned from Rich characters in that they’re not rich, but they certainly know how to get their hands on fancy shit. Nothing’s too good for their dear MC. Sweet/Gentle characters bring the snuggles - Offering to cuddle with MC to help them sleep better. Massaging into their back, scritching their head, nuzzling in close, helping to soothe them in any little ways they can, just delighted to get to share that level of closeness with MC. They’ll also buy or make MC food, doing everything within their power to help soothe MC’s nerves. These characters expect nothing in return, and are just eager to be of some kind of help. Gremlin characters find little trinkets and things to give to MC - An old sleeping shirt that helped them feel cozy, a necklace that’s supposed to help people feel safe, A weird little machine that projects stars around the room - They find the strangest and most interesting items to adorn and surround their MC with to try to help herald in good rest. Oftentimes, the trinkets and things are items of personal comfort that they’re sharing. Intelligent/Calculating characters try to research into insomnia and its causes, trying to find medical (Or magical, if the environment works for it) methods of combatting the problem. Depending on their level of shadiness, this can sometimes result in them showing up at MC’s room/place at 2am with a bottle like “Drink this to cure what ails ya’.”. If their shadiness is relatively low, then they’ll come to MC with a collection of options for sleep resources/clinics. The shadier they are, the more likely their solutions are to work. Gossipy characters will consider this an emergency of self-care. It’s time to dish about everything on MC’s mind while they do masks and skin care treatments to combat the lack of sleep. They have all the best supplies for MC’s body type needs, and they know exactly what questions to ask to shoot to the heart of the matter. Wise beyond their years. It’s like the sleepover that MC needed to gush about everything on their mind and their excitement. 9/10 times, works perfectly, and MC’s out within 2 hours. Gamer characters are the only ones literally not trying to help MC, and are actively encouraging MC to fuckin’ turn to the dark side and just play games with them all night. (This one goes out to my gaming friends in different timezones who get excited when I have insomnia, you fuckin’ sirens of the night)

MC Who Loves Cyphers/Coding

I just remembered this thing a friend and I used to do back and forth, and now I have an MC concept. Okay, so, my buddy and I used to do this thing where we’d send each other coded messages back and forth. At first, it started with us learning Morse Code, at which we very quickly realized we could force the other person to decypher messages like “Ur a bitch” which was so funny to us, that we started upping the anti. Over time, we started using new codes to trip each other up, not telling the other person what codes we used. It had to be something the other person could find/study if they were clever enough, but outside of those parameters, it was mostly free-game.

Eventually, we started nesting the cyphers. Which means, taking the already cyphered message and running it through another cypher. This would result in paragraphs upon paragraphs, even upwards of pages of text that would amount to a message like “You’re the bitchiest bitch of all of the land and I bet you took too long figuring out this message. Fight me.” So I’m imagining an MC who, one day, decides to bring up cyphers to another character. They explain them, and show them how they work, and they send them a cypher message for them to decode. Only, it’s an insult and the MC is grinning like an idiot. Over time, this back and forth escalates between MC and the character, and they reach a point where they are sending pages upon pages of coded messages back and forth. Where coding comes into this, is that I’m learning coding (C++ and C#) and I was thinking back on this time period, and I wish I had a ‘fight buddy’ to fight through coding programs and stuff. Someone who we could go back and forth, having to analyze each other’s codes, compile them, and then go back and forth between the code and the program to decypher the messages, which would amount to insults. It’s a really great system. I’ve been told it’s akin to having a rival relationship, but super nerdy. Lmfaoooo I imagine this MC would get along really well with characters who’re book nerds/coding/programming/game design nerds? These would be your characters who’re obsessed with machines and programming stuff, or characters who love a challenge of unraveling something by their own wit and grit. When I fought my buddy, I’d go out and get help from other friends who were  well-versed in cyphers, so I also imagine this MC going and roping other characters into this little game and it just becomes a very fun back and forth, only the characters who get roped in don’t realize that they’re putting all of this work in to decypher an insult. Hahahahaha “I DID IT, I FIGURED IT OUT, THEY’RE USING A MODIFIED VIGENÈRE CYPHER!” “Ooh, what’s coming through??” “Y O U A R E A M E G A B I T C- What the fuck are we decyphering” “Oh I’m writing a rebuttal as we speak.” “We’ve been spending an hour on this” “Yeah, and now they’re gonna spend two decyphering our insult.” --- I just imagine this MC sitting with a group of folks, chatting away, and one of the characters just walks up and drops a stack of papers in front of them and silently throws a white glove in their face and walks away. MC, now looking through the papers, realizing they’re looking at code, just going “No.. no... NO.. NO I HAVE TO TRANSCRIPT THIS, YOU BITCH!?” and all the characters around them being confused like “What is happening right now” I love when tormenting people is a love language.

Could you write something about Michael where he’s really down on tour and keeps hiding in his bunk looking at pictures/videos of him and you and the boys notice and fly you out to them and y’all spend the day exploring whatever city they’re in? (Ik it’s very specific sorry)

oh my god of course i actually really like this idea! i’ll try getting to work on it asap
