â«âË you have a painfully bad memory..! â â REQUESTED (Technically? Sortâve?)
short - fluff / crack - OOC! - dating au! - spoilers!!
^ đ^
â°â†SATORU GOJO
â„ă»God, he loves you so much.
â„ă»Even if he has to physically pick you up every time you meet because you forget when or where to meet.
â„ă»Sure he teases you, but he also defends you against anyone who insults your forgetfulness. It gets serious because he jokes, but itâs obvious how much it annoys you more than anyone else.
â°â†SUGURU GETO
â„ă»If you were any other non-jujutsu sorcerer, this would be a much different story.
â„ă»Yet you arenât, and so he puts up with your memory issues. Truthfully he found you incompetent before daring but after he got to know you, clicheâ but he fell for you, bad memory included.
â„ă»And if ANY person, curse, sorcerer or otherwise, says anything about your memory issues. They are gone and youâll do well to forget them.
â°â†SHOKO IEIRI
â„ă»Too exhausted to get mad at you, not like she would anyways though.
â„ă»Just kisses your neck and behind your ear while reminding you before leaving to pop a cigarette as she usually does, not cause of youâ just because she kind of has a problem. (Donât tell her that though..)
â°â†NANAMI KENTO
â„ă»He always leaves little reminders all over your place for you, on sticky notes or sends messages.
â„ă»If you ever feel frustrated over your own memory, heâll hold you and kiss your forehead while reassuring you quietly.
â°â†YUJI ITADORI
â„ă»You get this look on your face when trying really hard to remember something and he loves it.
â„ă»Sometimes heâll just sit nearby or stand behind you being like âcan I help you yetâ because he wants to try remind you, as the boyfriend he is. But he gets that you wanna do it alone sometimes.
â„ă»BUT he is here to help anytime you need it, even if heâs across the world! He will remind you of whatever it is!
â°â†MEGUMI FUSHIGURO
â„ă»Heâll hold your hand, gently rubbing the back of it with his thumb while you focus on memorising stuff.
â„ă»A ritual and routine heâs grown fond of, even when you insist he could do something better. Itâs clear when you get frustrated, and heâll kiss your wrist to help you calm down!
â°â†KUGISAKI NOBARA
â„ă»Your focusing face always makes you frown, so she makes sure you donât get wrinkles or anything. Rubbing at your face when you worry too much.
â„ă»âI know you wanna remember but does it matter? Iâll remind you anywaysâ if Itadori makes fun of you Iâll just hit him, yeah?â Sheâd say while pulling you away from your work youâve been trying to do for hours with little success.
â„ă»Prefers to spend her time with you making memories that youâll remember even if you forget.
â°â†MAKI ZENIN
â„ă»If youâre training and keep forgetting where to mark your stance, she draws in the ground for you with her weapon. Pointing where you need adjustments and sending you pointers and messages when you want them.
â„ă»âDo I get tired of you? Why would I?â Sheâd say, when you clarify itâs because of your memory sheâll get mad and start yelling.. âWho made you feel like that?? WAS IT INUMAKI? MAI? GOJO??â
â„ă»It later becomes a known fact that if anyone says a thing about you Maki will deal with it accordingly, doesnât matter who. As long as you smile at her when itâs all said and done, holding her hand.
â°â†YUTA OKKOTSU
â„ă»The sweetest, we know it. Makes sure youâre never too tough on yourself, gets worried when you wonât let him help but if you wanna try remember on your own he wonât stop you.
â„ă»If you manage to do so heâs so very proud of you <3
â„ă»When you forget a date here or there he never gets mad, ever. You cannot help it and heâd never take it out on you.
â„ă»Sure heâs sad, but it makes him think of ways to help you more so it wonât happen again. Your âissuesâ arenât problems to him, so donât ever think they are.
â°â†TOGE INUMAKI
â„ă»A bit harder because he literally canât speak to remind you and snap you out of your thinking.
â„ă»Resorts to pulling on your clothes or pulling YOU away entirely.
â„ă»âMUSTARD LEAF!!â He says while you argue with him, honestly heâll drag you outside under a tree and hug you there until you concede and finally relax with him.
â°â†MAI ZENIN
â„ă»Teasing, always, but glares at anyone who dare says anything. Looking at the menu in a restaurant, turn to say your order to the waiter but forgot it? While you check again, she makes sure the waiter isnât judging you.
â„ă»If they are? Just hope theyâre not.
â„ă»If you ask for help she will but unlike others she lets you do a lot of it yourself because itâs what sheâs used to. Sheâll stay with you, and when you ask sheâll tell you.
â°â†AOI TODO
â„ă»âMy lover? BAD MEMORY? NONSENSE!!â And nonsense it is, because he believes that if you forgot then itâs not worth remembering!
â„ă»Meeting with the Utahime forgotten? So what! Forgot to meet up with Miwa and Mai? Reschedule! He never ever blames you.
â„ă»If itâs REALLY important then he just makes sure you donât forget, reminds you, picks you up and spins you around while telling you to better cement the memory in your mind!
â°â†HIROMI HIGURUMA
â„ă»Occupied with work and finding it difficult? Donât worry, heâs here to help.
â„ă»Pulls you aside and helps organise your stuff to make things easier, heâs a lawyer so organisation is unfortunately a necessity more often than not.
â„ă»Best moments of his day are when youâre both tired from work and fall asleep in each others arms after dinner, and if you ever think your bad memory is a bad thing he pulls out all the stops in his law books to prove you otherwise.
â„ă»Donât argue with the loving lawyer..
â°â†UTAHIME IORI
â„ă»Pretty defensive of you since weakness is really unbecoming to CERTAIN people.
â„ă»Always holds your face as a habit while reassuring you, if her students say anything? Yeah, ten laps and extended training. Teach them to be good people and good sorcerers.
â„ă»âI donât care if it was a joke, three more laps.â Even if you say itâs not necessary, she still does it because she wont let them disrespect you or general struggles.
â°â†CHOSO KAMO
â„ă»Prior to dating you, he thought all humans had memories as bad as yours. Then panicked after Yuji told him thatâs NOT normal, really.
â„ă»Hovers CONSTANTLY at the start. You have to tell him that itâs your issue and that he can support you but not give you answers.
â„ă»Yuji sortâve had to force him to pull away and chill for a few hours weekly so you can try alone.
â„ă»But just know if it ever becomes too much, and you get overwhelmedâ just text him and heâs there immediately. Hugging you from behind and helping with what you need!
â°â†And thatâs it! This is the dating version and here is the pre-dating / friends version! -> here
Been kinda confused how I entirely forgot this âGraceâ girl character from Project Hail Mary. Wondered if maybe they added her to the movie because Iâve only read the book. Shrugged it off but was very confused when I kept seeing posts about her knowing Rocky.
ITâS RYLANDâS LAST NAME. I ENTIRELY FORGOT THE MAIN PROTAGONISTâS NAME.
I remember now how I did know this. Because initially reading I had thought he was one of those southern people with the double first-middle names. But his last name is just a name that is also commonly a first name and Iâm sillyâŠ
In my very weak defense, I read the book several months ago when I first heard this movie was happening.
Another one of my old AUs I haven't touched for years!
So, the story is centered in Ink and Error, but mostly from Error's point of view since Ink is not exactly... In his right mind all of the time.
To summarize the plot; Ink evolves Dementia, which his bad memory had been a sign for since forever.
Ink forgets faces, voices, places and sometimes even who he was, which forcefully takes away his position as the Guardian of AUs... He couldn't even be sad by it anyway; he can't even remember how much he once valued the AUs!
The story goes on as the Stars are too busy to care for Ink and the multiverse at the same time, unfortunately sending him to a safe Asylum AU where he could get the attention he needed as his condition got worse and worse.
Error, however didn't find destructing fun anymore, not without a Guardian to come after him and have a good fight like him and Ink did. So he did go after his greatest enemy to know what the hell had happened.
At the Asylum, Ink barely recognized Error at all, but managed to remember fragments of who he was and was actually very happy to see him, showing stuff he'd been doing there and the music player they gave him. His paintings got messier, too abstract to make anything out of it and lines too shaky to be purposeful.
Error eventually too him in; taking him out of that Asylum and bringing him to a proper house he'd live in for the rest of his very short, very bitter life...
I originally made the story due to a research I decided to make on the stages of dementia, then introduced it to a character I liked!
The canon ending includes Ink becoming unable to move most of his body, only remembering Error because of a star hoodie he wore; so in a cliff, after Error apologized to him for not trying to fix things earlier, the kiss, a kiss that sealed Ink's death as the sickness finally took over him, taking him away from Error just when he realized and accepted his feelings.
I'll admit, it is a bit of a cringy romance, but I sincerely like the story, I'd rewrite it some day!
I also have old drawings about it!!! (I can post is tomorrow if this AU is interesting to anyone, I don't have much though.)
If you haven't got a bad memory, you might not know how distressing it is
Things I've forgotten:
Famous names
My friends' names
My friends' birthdays
My family's birthdays
Medical appointments
To book medical appointments
Books
Assignment deadlines
That I even have assignments in the first place
One time, my entire school bag
My water bottle
To eat
My wallet
My age
What order some months are in
Whether I've given someone a piece of information
Who was with me when [thing] happened
Medication reorders
Scheduled days out/events
To ask important questions
Things I've ordered online
Even if I take the same bus at the same time for several months, I will forgot what bus at what time I need to take if I go more than a week without taking it
If two words sound similar, be they names, places, foods, pieces of media or whatever, I WILL mix them up
E.g. I constantly mix up Birmingham and Bristol, I have mixed up Elton John and Elvis Presley, and I've even mixed up Treasure Island with Treasure Planet
I'm too scared to address my cousins by their names because I can never remember who is who, despite them looking very different
All this isn't just distressing, it's terrifying. I've never been able to remember shit and it gets in the way of my day-to-day life.
I hate being this way, it makes everything so much more difficult than it already is
And sure there are little ways I can remember important things like alarms, calendar notes, having other people remind me, etc.
But when I can't remember my friends' birthdays or town names or famous names, or when I think I remember and get them mixed up with something that's only vaguely similar, it's beyond embarassing
Once or twice is okay but over and over again is humiliating and makes me want to cry
I'm not asking for sympathy, I don't need sympathy
I just want people who don't suffer from memory problems to understand how hard this is, how hard people like myself try, and how embarassed and upset we are when we can't remember simple things
If someone around you forgets things constantly, never make a scene about it. Never point it out. Just try and help them remember things, ask if they would like reminders and/or give them reminders when you think they've forgotten
Trust me, it infuriates and embarasses us way more than it annoys you
It's never a case of "try harder" or "if you forgot then it wasn't important."
We are trying as hard as we can, and we forget important things constantly
love to do more abstract items. there's another one coming tomorrow but this one was kind of vaguely based off remembering memoryhead and throwing some abstract shapes of emotion in it
