2	''[[https://gamebanana.com/mods/387205 Twinsomnia]]'' is a ''VideoGame/FridayNightFunkin'' mod created by Sock.clip, best known as the creator of [[VideoGame/VsWhitty Whitty]].
3
4	Set years before the events of ''Friday Night Funkin[='=]'', a young Boyfriend can't sleep, so Boy and Girl ([[RunningGag yes, those are their names]]) arrive to help send him off to dreamland -- but of course, a certain someone tries to interrupt the ride...
5
6	!!List of songs:
7	* "Sleeptalk" (Girl vs. Boyfriend)
8	* "Roughhouse" (Boy vs. Boyfriend)
9	* "Power Hour" (Girl & Boy vs. Boyfriend)
10	* "Boogieman" (Monster vs. Boy & Girl)
11	----
12	!!''Twinsomnia'' provides examples of:
13	* AdaptationalAbomination: Monster is depicted as a shadowy being with four extra arms sprouting out of his torso, compared to the solid, two-armed appearance he has in canon. [[JustifiedTrope His lyrics imply he's using his illusion abilities to appear more nightmarish to scare Boyfriend]].
14	* AdaptedOut: As this mod takes place years before the events of the base game, Girlfriend makes no appearance here, while her parents are reduced to cameos.
15	* ArtShift:
16	** Compared to the Flash-inspired look of the original game, ''Twinsomnia'''s artstyle is more akin to 2000s cartoons such as ''WesternAnimation/TheFairlyOddParents'' or ''WesternAnimation/ChalkZone'', with thicker outlines, simpler character designs, and minimal shading. {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d in one of the intro texts, which simply states "it's not -- Phantom Arcade's style".
17	** The cutscenes are all in a single-color sketchy style, resembling a child's crayon drawings.
18	* BaitAndSwitchSilhouette: "Sleeptalk" begins in the dark, with a slow, eerie melody as a thin figure is on Boyfriend's bed... Boy then turns the lights on, the figure changing to Girl with the song in turn becoming much more cheerful.
19	* CallForward: Kid Boyfriend's room has a poster of Daddy Dearest, who he wouldn't meet in person until years later.
20	* ConceptArtGallery: Completing the mod unlocks the Gallery, which shows information and fun facts about Boy and Girl in addition to loads of art of the two created by the mod team.
21	* CouchGag:
22	** Like the original game, the mod has loads of intro text that changes whenever you load up the mod, enough that one would not be able to see all of it without looking through the text file.
23	** The main menu has various different animations for Boy and Girl that change each time it's loaded.
24	* CreepyGood: Boy has a slightly menacing appearance with huge stature, BlankWhiteEyes and a SlasherSmile, but he just wants to help Boyfriend go to sleep.
25	* CrossPoppingVeins: At the end of "Boogieman," Boy gets a bulging vein on his forehead when he's fed up with Monster trying to scare Boyfriend. Shortly after, he and Girl make a scary face to scare Monster away.
26	* DeliberatelyMonochrome: The first three songs, while using softer colors, are still very vibrant. "Boogieman" is entirely in [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver gray, black, and red]] to convey the much more serious situation.
27	* DidntThinkThisThrough: Boy attempts to tire out Boyfriend with a high intensity song in "Roughhouse". This has the opposite effect and makes Boyfriend ''more'' amped up then he already was.
28	* DualBoss: "Power Hour" has Boyfriend singing against Boy and Girl at the same time. Inverted in "Boogieman", where the player controls both Boy and Girl singing together like they did in the previous song against Monster.
29	* {{Foreshadowing}}: Halfway through "Boogieman", Monster remarks that a "small pinch of fear shouldn't be that paralyzing... unless I feel like it should be." At the song's end, Boy and Girl make themselves look absolutely horrific, causing Monster to stop in his tracks and promptly leave them be.
30	* ExitVillainStageLeft: After Boy and Girl let loose some {{Nightmare Face}}s in anger, Monster simply goes "Oh. Ok." and literally fades out, leaving the trio in peace.
31	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Boyfriend's alarm clock, instead of numbers, reads "BE:EP."
32	* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: The scroll speed slows as "Power Hour" reaches its end, coinciding with Boyfriend getting tired.
33	* GettingReadyForBedPlot: Boy and Girl are trying to help Boyfriend go to sleep by singing with him. After Monster has been scared off and Boyfriend falls asleep, they go, "Yaaaaay!" and disappear with a popping noise, their jobs done.
34	* HorrifyingTheHorror: Once Boy and Girl get fed up with Monster tormenting Boyfriend, they let out monstrous faces of their own, prompting Monster to back off.
35	* HugeGuyTinyGirl: At their normal heights, Boy towers over everything, while Girl is between a third to half his height.
36	* InvisibleToAdults: Boy and Girl can choose whether or not they are visible to someone, and usually only allow children and anyone that may harm those children to see them.
37	* MySisterIsOffLimits: According to the list of fun facts in the gallery, Boy will ''obliterate'' anyone who gets too close to Girl.
38	* MythologyGag: At the end of the credits is a little drawing Boyfriend made of himself, Boy, and Girl, with Boy and Girl looking exactly like their old designs from the original version of the mod.
39	* NamelessNarrative: Fitting in with the canon naming scheme, the mod introduces two new characters, a boy and girl duo simply named "Boy" and "Girl".
40	* TheNeedless: As otherworldly deities, Boy and Girl don't need to eat or sleep, though Boy still does so for fun.
41	* PaintingTheMedium: Near the end of "Power Hour", the notes start to fade and become translucent as Boyfriend struggles to stay awake any longer.
42	* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Quite literally: Girl wears a pink dress and bow, while Boy wears a blue shirt and shorts.
43	* PinkMeansFeminine: Girl's dress, hairbow, and BlushStickers are all pink.
44	* {{Portmantitle}}:
45	** ''Twinsomnia'' comes from combining "twin" (referring to Boy and Girl) and "insomnia" (an inability to get to sleep).
46	** "Boogieman" is [[ThingsThatGoBumpInTheNight Boogeyman]] mixed with boogie, another word for dance.
47	* {{Prequel}}: The mod is set when Boyfriend is a small child, and Boy and Girl show up to help get him to sleep.
48	* PromotedToPlayable: After playing as Boyfriend and facing off against them for the first three songs, "Boogieman" has you playing as Boy and Girl against Monster.
49	* ShoutOut:
50	** The moment where Boy points at Boyfriend in "Roughhouse" is accompanied by the same whipcrack used in WesternAnimation/JohnnyTest.
51	** The face Boy makes at the end of "Boogieman" is a one-to-one of a [[Franchise/{{Alien}} Xenomorph]], complete with an extra set of teeth hidden in his mouth.
52	** One of the various art pieces in the gallery is a drawing of Boy with a tiny [[WebAnimation/HomestarRunner Strong Bad]].
53	** A drawing in the gallery is Girl, Boy, Monster and Boyfriend as [[WesternAnimation/EdEddNEddy Double D, Eddy, Ed and Plank]].
54	** Two drawings in gallery depict what Boy and Girl would look like in the ''[[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinDSides D-Sides]]'' and ''[[VideoGame/FridayNightFunkinMinus Minus]]'' mods.
55	* SizeShifter: Boy and Girl have the power to change their forms. They are small-size during "Sleep Talk" and "Roughhouse" but change to adult size for "Power Hour" and "Boogieman."
56	* SuperDeformed: InUniverse, Boy and Girl changed into smaller forms so they could sit on Boyfriend's bed. In the lead up to the third song, they become their normal heights and lean against his bedframe instead.
57	* TheUnintelligible: During cutscenes, Boy and Girl talk to each other using a "wah-wah" noise similar to the voices of the teachers from the ''{{ComicStrip/Peanuts}}'' cartoons.
58	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Girl and Boy are shapeshifting deities who can turn into anything they want, from small modifications to their appearance to full out different forms. The only thing they ''can't'' turn into is the opposite gender, but otherwise everything is free game for them.
