AMNESIAC SHIPPING MEME

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.

How to Play:

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.
Post with your character | fandom | and any preferences. Be sure to mention your preference on whether your character has amnesia or is the caretaker.
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.
Tag Others.
Be awesome to each other.
Have fun!

Kitty hates what she can do. She's always going through crap when she doesn't mean to, or running into walls when she's actually trying to go through them. And she doesn't know how Cisco has been able to put up with her, but she gets a warm feeling knowing that he hasn't booted her out on her butt and told her to go away yet.

With the way she feels about herself, and not remembering anything, she feels like she would have already ordered herself to hit the road. But maybe she's wrong and the her she was before might not have?

Reaching for the door knob Kitty lets out a muffled curse as her hand falls right through the damn thing. Kitty holds her breath and tries again, her brows furrowing more in frustration as she repeats the movement three times before she lets out her air and reaches out, smacking the door. Kitty's surprised when her hand actually makes contact and she finally turns the knob triumphantly and exits the room, moving quickly before she's trapped again.

Approaching Cisco, Kitty can't help pout on her lips. "I got trapped out of here. Again." Kitty resists the urge to hug him, or something, for comfort after the frustration because she's not sure if he actually likes her....despite the fact that he's been helping her.

So...the thing is, there aren't a whole lot of "good" metahumans. Cisco likes to consider himself a good metahuman. Barry is obviously a good metahuman. But by and large, the vast majority of them were bad. Kitty, well. Wasn't. Hadn't been, probably never would be, but just in case, Cisco offers to 'take care' of her, translation: take her in, explain the metahuman thing to her and help her relearn the use of her abilities. The idea is to keep her from going dark side by tangling with the wrong crowd after losing her memory. The last thing they need is to lose a good metahuman to that. Enough of them have sided in that direction as it is.

Hearing the curse, Cisco twitches in his seat as if to get up, but keeps himself intentionally rooted to the spot. She knows what she can do, she just has to continue to learn to control it and if he's helping her too much, she never will. So he waits. Eventually, the door opens after she smacks it and he offers her a sympathetic look in response to the pout. "You're getting there, Kitty. You really are getting better. I know it probably doesn't feel like it, but I promise. You are."
