I remember...

[postingmemes]

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.

Genos | One Punch Man | OTA

[scrap_metal]

[ Could go both amnesiac and caretaker. I'm kind of really intrigued by the former case ]

[dumblucklife]

[Not sure how they'd get along at all, but I totally don't mind having Taemin take in an amnesiac Genos. (I'm also voicetesting, so some areas may be wobbly on my part.) Taemin's likely to be super protective of him though while Genos' lack of memory leaves him vulnerable, at least.]

Djem Ahmad | OC | OTA

[fresh_to_deaf]

[Either role would be interesting to play out honestly.]

Peter Quill | Guardians of the Galaxy

[volumeone]

Death the Kid | Soul Eater | OTA

[ocd_reaper]

((OOC: Manga and anime compliant. Can also do post-manga if desired. Willing to be either the amnesiac or the one caring for them.))

oh hi

[inthe_keyofcool]

[This is bad.

It's been days and Kid is still totally out of it. Kid, the son of Lord Death, for crying out loud, is still laying a hospital bed with no signs of waking up.

Soul sinks in his chair, hands jammed into his pockets. He's exhausted his phone's playlist, he's even done some reading, and yet there's been no change in his friend whatsoever. Now he's really starting to worry.

Not cool at all.]

Azmuth | Ben 10 | OTA

[whohastimeforthat]

((OOC: Good with either the memory-less or the one trying to help the person without their memory.))

[goodnight_vale]

[Cecil stares blankly at this little...creature. He's pretty sure he's never seen something like Azmuth before, but then again he's pretty sure he was in his sound booth moments ago.

This is very strange.]

You're not the new intern.

Ben Tennyson | Ben 10 | OTA

[omnitrixter]

((OOC: Can be the one with amnesia or the one without it.))

[whitescalesbigmouth]

[ But what if Ben/Alien X rewrote the universe to handle the Genesis threat and in doing so had to rewrite his bestie's memories at the same time?

She looked the same at least Besides a few different tweaks here and there. Anything to distance herself away from the old Saft as possible but Ben had tried to make it so Saft wouldn't have had really any reason to associate with him again - if that meant letting her live a life without getting involved with big bad aliens and being endangered for being anywhere near him then so be it. However Bellwood was a small town and the two were bound to bump into each other again at some point. This couldn't keep on going on like this however, Even if Saft's memories were currently different she still had the same biology and she'd eventually have to face certain obligations back home again...

Ben's gonna have to come clean about who and what she is at some point. It's just finding a time and a place to do it.]

Tony Stark | MCU

[im_ironman]

[ Previously established CR for shipping, open to gen for everything else. ]

Natasha Romanoff | MCU | OTA

[deadlylittlespider]

[I'd be rather interested in playing her as the amnesiac, but caretaker is good too.]

Jessica Jones | MCU

[questionablemethods]

[ Either role! Prefer canonmates, however. ]

MIKAZUKI AUGUS ➣ gundam-ibo

[deusex]

katana. suicide squad. ota

[soulslice]

[ the grumpy caretaker who should probably never be a caretaker in an ideal situation.

crossovers welcome; mcu crossovers especially loved. ]

beth greene | the walking dead | ota

[littlemissfutility]

[Either role! I'm interested in canon and cross-canon CR alike. For Beth-the-amnesiac, I think "your character finds her wandering around the zombie apocalypse in scrubs with no memory" has potential. Beth-the-caretaker works well in the TWD setting, an AU, or a jamjar.]

logan | x-men | m/f

[themancomesaround]

[Best as the amnesia victim. If you've ever wanted your character to take in a naked man running around northern Alberta, I've got great news.]

Yoon Taemin/Han Siwon | At the End of the Road | OTA

[dumblucklife]

[What if Taemin DID get actual amnesia after being put into the body of Siwon? Alternatively, he can be a grumpy caretaker.]

Fuuma Kotaro | Fate/ Grand Order | M/M

[onishinobi]

[ Either role can work for him! [

Ariadne | OC | M/F

[demonicbeauty]

[Either role is fine, but she's more of a caretaker than a victim in general? Info in journal.]

joel ( the last of us ) ota

[echolocator]

[ preference for the amnesiac, but i can do either. ]

Wanda Maximoff || MCU || F/M

[scarlettwin]

[ooc: Up for either role.]

Rey || Star Wars: The Force Awakens || F/M

[talentedscavenger]

Klaus Mikaelson || TVD/Originals || m/f

[werevamp]

Bucky Barnes | MCU

[missionreport]

Raiden | Mortal Kombat

[lightning_raiden]

[Ota incl. cross-canon. Preferably amnesiac and Gen, can do some light M/F shipping due to meme circumstances. Could also be caretaker.]

Derek Lockwood | Original | OTA

[doctricis]

quistis trepe | final fantasy viii | ota

[tutorials]

[ I would not at all mind working with VIII's canon, deviating from it, and working with Time Compression! I have no preference for which side I play and if you want to steer toward shipping, M/F only, please. ]

Chuck Hansen | Pacific Rim

[suicidemission]

[ post pitfall, as the amnesiac maybe? ]
