the "you're all I know" meme

[fifille]

an amnesiac shipping meme


You have no idea who you are.

One day, you just woke up from the darkness, confused and alone. You barely remember your own name, much less why you're here...or where here is, even. Your own body is strange to you, and if you have some kind of power or ability, that must be frightening. Perhaps you're angry at everything so new and different, lost in this strange world you don't understand or know your own place in. Maybe you feel the need to hide away, lest you be crushed by everyone out there who is sure to hurt you.

You are so, so alone.

Only you're not. There is one person, one person who's found you and taken you in. They've shown you kindness, looking after you while you can barely look out for yourself. Out of the goodness of their heart, they've shown you things, taught you things. Most importantly, they're giving you a new sense of identity. And for that, you've begun to appreciate them. More than words can say, actually. You care for them so deeply that your heart hurts around them. Is that normal? What is this feeling? You can't imagine life without them, and leaving them- That's something you could never consider. Is this lov...

The word's on the tip of your tongue, but you can't figure it out, exactly. What you can figure out is that you want to give everything you can to the person who's done so much for them. You want to stay by their side and make them happy. You want to protect them at all costs.

So no one would blame you for getting confused when you see them with someone else or getting angry when you believe they're in danger. And certainly it's only natural for you to get frustrated when you want to tell them what you think of them, what they mean to you, and you can't figure out what to do. Perhaps following instincts will do?

One thing you know is that this bond and these emotions will never go away, not even when you learn who you are.

RULES
- This meme is for examining what happens when someone with no memories, potentially someone with powers or skills that could be dangerous at the very least, develops deep feelings for the person who's taken them in or is helping them realize their past. It can be played as awkward, adventurous, tragic, cracky, fluffy, truly romantic, or anything in between. You can play at the beginning, the part where emotions have strongly developed, or even when the amnesiac has regained their memories and must now deal with new feelings.
- Reply with your character and preferences. Mention if you'd like to play the amnesiac, the caretaker/help, or both.
- The role of caretaker does not have to always be beneficial. Maybe they caused this condition in the first place so the other character would be dependent, loving, and loyal towards them.
- Reply to others and play.

Roxas | Kingdom Hearts

[dualwielding]

[this is literally his life, so he'll be sympathetic if you want to be the amnesiac. or maybe he caused it because you're one of the people who made his life difficult! OTA for reals]

[watersacrificed]

It was funny how lost boys continued to show up at her door. First it was Ven and now it was Roxas. Both boys had a case of amnesia, but with Ven he gradually began to remember things. Roxas...that was a different story. Which was why Aqua was spending more time looking after him. There were times when he seemed to be just fine and days when he was lost in a daze. She was hoping today would be the former.

Maybe she could get Roxas to go outside and enjoy the fresh air.

She quietly entered his room with a tray that had some fruits, cheese, bread, glass and a pitcher of water. Maybe he would be up already or...asleep. Either way she wanted to make sure he had something to eat and drink.

Middle of Season 2, Moriarty has amnesia, will that work?

[moriarty_was_real]

Out of nowhere, a text message from the phony ex-boyfriend serial killer "Jim from I.T."

Hello, sorry to bother you, but your number is on top of the contact list on this phone. Can you tell me who it belongs to?

Cloud Strife | Final Fantasy VII

[de_faulty_hero]

[Would like him to have amnesia, but willing to play caretaker as well.]

Aren't you sad you forgot about this guy? XD

[shinra_dog]

Reno was surprised to find the moody blonde wandering around without his usual gaggle of AVALANCHE friends. He'd honestly expected a fight, despite their loose "truce" during Meteorfall. But Cloud didn't remember a thing, and after peppering the other man with questions "to be sure," Reno was satisfied he wasn't faking it.

It was a bit of a strange arrangement, but Reno had decided to take in the former mercenary. He'd be lying if he denied the advantage of having Cloud with Shinra; it would certainly be a huge advantage to rebuild the blonde's memories with corporate propaganda. But he'd also be lying if he said he didn't feel at least a little responsible for Cloud's state.
