LIKE AN AMNESIAC

[if_it_fits]

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.

[captainisking]

( Willing to play the amnesiac or the caretaker. No spoilers for Winter, please. )

Malcolm Thawne » The Flash (AU) » OTA

[ex_kobalt563]

( Amnesiac preferred. )

wrathion ↔ wow ↔ ota

[blackflight]

[ can go either way, human or dragon form. ]

[splendidphoenix]

[ Dragon wizard for your actual dragon? Her skills include healing and talking to dead people. OR alternatively, I could give you FFXIV AU actual dragon lady Liling, who is younger, and sets more things on fire. Crossovers and AUs are both fine with me. ]

kilgrave | mcu's jessica jones

[deathcemetery]

ooc: kilgrave's the amnesiac. open to anyone that'll have him. willing to be the caretaker for jessica's, because lol this fucking creep

[birched]

[ the biggest fucking creep. ngl i'm interested to see him as the caretaker. got a specific canon point you want to go from or ? ]

[blindstrike]

[Matt finds him at some point, either lawyer or masked, and makes the mistake of taking him in?]

edward elric → fma03/cos → ota

[alchimia]

[ both is good. ]

gonna just roll into this and see what happens!

[dangodiet]

[ It was interesting; Itachi had no idea when it happened, but ever since he found the blood-coated blond on the street, he found himself caring about the stranger. ]

[ It wasn't easy. Itachi was a good fighter but he wasn't necessarily strong, and dragging a man who had two limbs made of automail to his house wasn't an easy feat. He made it, and the first task was cleaning the other. Which meant getting him naked. But that was fine, right? There were both men. ]

[ Lots of warm water and several dirty towels later, Itachi situated Edward on the only bed in his house. He'd been sleeping on his couch for two days already, and checking on the odd man and wondering when he'd wake up. He wasn't dead, at the very least. How the man even got out to where he was, rather secluded in the woods, was another question. ]

[ But it was daytime now. Winter, so while the sun was out, it was sill decently cold. There was a fire going, and Itachi was sitting by Edward, as he did everyday, currently reading a book. Who knew when the other would awaken? ]

sonya blade | Mortal Kombat | OTA

[soldier_blade]

willing to play either role. Would especially love to try scenes with canonmates (of either timeline), but crosscanon's also welcomed.

Bucky Barnes | MCU | OTA

[tiltheend]

[Definitely the amnesiac. This describes most of his HYDRA years so...sset around there. Undercover maybe?]

Jacob Frye • Assassin's Creed Syndicate

[fistycuffs]

( can be either the caretaker or the amnesiac, modern au or canon )

hearthstone | magnus chase & the gods of asgard

[hollowcup]

[ either role is fine! ]

moriyama shiemi ❀ ao no exorcist

[herbarium]

( ota. definitely the caretaker. )

Dylas | Rune Factory

[sullenstallion]

[M/M. Amnesiac is canon for him, but he can easily help out a...newer amnesiac. Also open to playing him as more monster-like.]

Jim Kirk || Star Trek AOS || OTA

[prizestallion]

[either role]

zoe benson (ahs:coven)

[undersexed]

[ how could i not with that gif? more than likely the caretaker. ]

Rogue | X-Men | OTA

[theycalledmeacurse]

[Could easily be the amnesiac with the deadly power, or the caretaker who understands what it is not to know yourself. Potential to also be the cause of the other person losing their memories.]

Scott Summers | X-Men | OTA

[cyke]

[I'm good with any scenario.]

Angel | Buffy the Vampire Slayer | OTA

[ex_angelus307]

[Either role.]

Honey Lemon | Big Hero 6 | OTA

[chemical_reactions]

[Can be both a caretaker or the amnesiac. Personality leans more towards the former, but there's also no way that helmet she has as a superheroine would keep her from amnesia via head injury.]

[moon_heroine]

(OoC: Augh, I'm not sure which end of the amnesic stick to go with! On one hand, Usagi trying to care for an amnesic Honey would be interesting, but on the other hand, Usagi as the amnesic one...!

...you choose! XD)

Peter Quill || Guardians of the Galaxy

[volumeone]

[Peter as the amnesiac]

Clint Barton/Hawkeye | MCU

[eyeofthehawk]

[Maybe Loki's mind control did something a little extra.]

Pietro Maximoff | MCU | OTA

[kurogane]

[I'm good with either role.]

Sherlock | BBC Sherlock | OTA

[wouldntbeone]

[Amnesia following his 'death', maybe? On the other hand, Sherlock is not particularly good at showing kindness but if you wanted him as your caretaker I'm sure we could work something out...]

[msadler]

((game for Irene? Either one being cared for. Though Sherlock as caretaker is always a hilarious idea))
