Decades Doever
A little idea I had laying in my bed. The basic thought process was: Ninjago's two characters who have literally been sent to a realm to rot in for literal DECADES. Morro, who's already struggling with his own exile from the departed realms finds a manipulated Zane and manipulator Vex. I mean both of them can't grow too old, and Morro probably would want a redemption for his deeds, the white ninja may be his path to doing it. Zane is interested in the departed realm, hearing that Morro is from it (even if it's not in the most pretty ways), it intrigues him to learn more about the former ghost, and how he may see his father one day. More Info underneath the cut!
Morro's literal backstory Once an elemental master dies they can not only see their family in the departed realm, but if they are not blood related nor can remember their family (cough cough, Zane), they can also meet the departed elemental masters that came before them. The little groupings of elemental masters hold great power, having the ability to traverse the 16 realms but regarded as something different than a ghost, more similar to a peaceful spirit or aura passing by. Unable to be seen by the living, sometimes depending on their mental will having the ability to converse in dreams and visions. When Morro finally get's sent to the Departed realm, as an orphan and being 50+ years old he cannot simply remember his family, so he get's sent and transported to the elemental grouping of Wind Masters. They don't like him. And so after a rather horrid argument the elders, the first elemental master of wind (FMOF), decides to send them down to never-realm, being previously used as a waste deposal of other Elemental Master's (more than just wind) that have gone "rogue" in the Departed Realm. The FMOF graced some mercy to Morro, convening with one of the form masters in order to see that they could return him in some sort of ghostly form, if they sent them down there as is, it would result him becoming living once more. Morro being the wonderous human (ish) being he is stumbles across this conversation, eaves dropping and taking notes. So when the final ritual(?) takes place he lashes out and does his best to ruin the spell, the only thing being that: 1. It works 2. He's not alive, and instead, has been merged with the storm. There he goes barreling down into the artic wasteland that provides an abundance of wind and storms to command, but despite the feast-like appearance of power and his element, Morro knows and regards this as a banishment. Dude got banished from death itself.
How Zane is connected in any of this Being also wonderfully banished and sent to the Never-Realm (via: Aspheera, Nacho Snake lady) he is also lost on his way. The only canon divergence or well difference being, when he's holding a staff he can feel another, stronger, rivaling, presence. Zane tries his best to fix the mech and eventually get's memory wiped by Vex. Back to the main plot line Morro additionally the counteracting sensation of another elemental power, and although it's not as strong as he isn't a master of Spinjitzu, he still senses it and decides to drift off on a storm cloud in that direction. Reaching the cave just when Zane plugs himself into the mech, disregarding the staff in general (in this AU I don't think young Wu would've told him about it), being confused in the slightest before getting a rush of Lloyd's memories he intercepted during possession of the titanium ninja, and dashing away behind the mech when he hears Vex's footsteps. Watching the whole exchange happen before his eyes, he decides to step in at the last moment, using his cool (very new) lightning powers. Being a somewhat super battle with the staff that he's honestly wonders how the ninja got a hold of, and his amplified form. During the exchange he does lay hands upon the staff and his powers go A-wire, somewhat breaks space and time, smacks Zane in the noggin to regain select memories. Vex fleeing the scene and barely recovering Zane prying Morro; who's form and right hand is practically melding into the staff, away from the supercharged stick. Although both mutually dislike each other they suppose they are both in the predicament of needing company for the days, weeks, and unbeknown to them, years to come. Morro not knowing how robotics or in general any mechanics in Zane works, opts for the: I'll just sit here and regret my decision as my partial robot friend has a reoccuring flashbacks for several decades while having an ongoing existential crisis I am little help to. Zane does believe Morro holds some interesting tales and description on, why and specifically how both are here. Morro just thinking it's something he can do to make up for acts, probably go see Lloyd (despite him probably bolting as soon as he see's the green gi), and maybe just maybe get somehow reaccepted back into the departed realms.
How many days has it been?
When did I see your smile for the last time?
Where did you go?
Unbearable. I shove these thoughts down to the deepest depths inside me. I let Shame mask me.
My memories were stolen from me.
A blank, black screen appears when I try to access the memory. And many other memories.
I was denied a look at him, after he had-
“ Thaw would’ve been too traumatic!”
I’m now left with a guilt, for not being able to see you one last time.
You took everything from me. You claimed it was for the greater good. Now, I can’t even remember his face.
My grandma died one summer. I woke up, my grandpa was freaking out, told me to go back to sleep. He went outside, called an ambulance.
I didn’t listen.
“ Nana?”
Dust particles waved around in the light shining through the windows. In front of one window, was the bed I was supposed to sleep in. I never slept in that bed, I always moved to the couch. I could never sleep alone.
In that bed, lied my grandma. She was as angelic as she was in death as in life.
She however was lifeless. Of course, this isn’t my first loss. She had a red blanked covering her cold body, as if she was asleep. A tear rolled down my eye when I sat next to her body.
I touched her arm.
“Nana?”
“Are you okay Nana?”
“Wake up Nana!”
I touched her forehead, caressing her hair. I leaned in close, waiting for her to wake. But when I first saw her, I knew.
I knew she was gone.
Im left with an angelic image of my grandma forever in my brain. If anything, I think it’s the one thing that helped me cope the most.
But him? My last image of him was stolen from me. I can’t see his face anymore.
Because they kept me from him, he is out of reach.
And that, is forever unforgivable
This night was amazing. Even though it has been 24 hours since the concert I'm still in awe. I won't get into too much detail or get all sappy, but this band just. I'm speechless, it was incredible, a night I will never forget. They made me feel at peace for once in my life. They saved me and being able to go at all and the fact I got barricade, I feel blessed. Not to mention I met some amazing people in line for sound check. Turns out I already follow them but they were so nice and sweet and hopefully I can continue to talk and be friends, but I just hope I still get to have experienced like this, because it's amazing. Thank you. (Of you use any pictures, please credit me, thank you)

Daily Diary Doodle - #002 - Of Forgetting
People talk about forgetting the sadness, but never the sadness of forgetting. We struggle to live for the future, because we know that the moment it's the past, it'll likely be forgotten within a day. It's dissociated into oblivion, lost to time, never to be remembered- and with the relatively high levels of aphantasia, we can't even picture it if we could.⠀ ⠀ We have to track everything we do every day, we track which Alters front, who did what, just to know that it ever even happened. We remember the plot of the big things, but so few details-- and even then, we can't trust if they were real.⠀ ⠀ It's been a sore subject lately. I record all our roleplay footage, because the moment it ends we've forgotten the majority; and this day it didn't save. I cried. I know it was a wonderful scene- a big moment for Phineas- but I'll never remember, fully, what I even did. Others get that memory, but I don't?⠀ ⠀ Photos, Videos, Physical Memories, are so important to us,⠀ because maybe then, we exist in some form of solidity.⠀
We're 28. We shouldn't have to live like this.⠀

I actually don't recall ever seeing a positivity post for ppl w ongoing amnesia caused by trauma disorders. I'm not talking just repressed childhood memories, I mean perpetual long-term memory loss. I mean continuing to forget non-traumatic things that happened or ppl you knew a few years or even months ago. I mean struggling to retain any information you're learning if you don't constantly go over the same material over and over again, and losing it all once you stop repeating it
If you have amnesia like me, you matter. We navigate the world a bit differently but that's okay. Just bc our brains are broken doesn't mean we can't live happy and fulfilling lives. Be patient w yourself when learning new things. Surround yourself w compassionate ppl who love to tell you stories abt past exploits you may have forgotten. Also, hey, who else gets to watch a movie for the first time every time? Above all be kind to yourself.
Danny lost his memories and he was in Gotham. All he remembered was that he died and turned into a ghost who can 'disguise' himself like he was still a human living being.
He also remembers his relationships with the ghosts were more of enemies to friends to enemies to a looping cycle kind of way.
Now, Danny doesn't know where he is and how he got here. He needed to get back to his haunt but doesn't know where, his home, forgotten, he doesn't remember his human name.
So, without furtherado, Danny was walking blindly to the crime alley till he encountered some muggers. He's not afraid since he can't just die twice, am I right?
So he just stays still and turned intangible not knowing Red Hood was watching from above but Danny's ghost sense went off, finally noticing a comrade.
The feeling of familiarity made him just transform back to a ghost and floated to Red Hood, "Friend!" Danny cheerfully said, "I'm so glad to find one of my kind!"

Why Temporary Amnesia With Established Relationship Is The Best Fanfic Trope
It's a spectacularly underrated perfect mix of all best tropes. And yet it never seems to make the cut whenever big tropes are being discussed!
While some tropes are just niche and that's part of thier charm, this one has potential to take over one of the top 5 trope spot if given a chance. And I will tell you 10 reasons why:
1. We get angst obviously. Because hello, the love of my life forgot me? (After almost dying in an accident, presumably. a n g s t)
2. We get both established and developing relationship at once!! What other trope allows that? Huh??
3. We might also get enemies to lovers because the one who forgot might not appreciate being forced to live with a stranger to "remember by exposure". Also they might only remember the rocky start. So many possibilities.
4. We also get Hurt/Comfort for the one who remembers. Like what do you mean that you don't remember my favourite food? What do you mean you don't knOW IF YOU WANNA REMEMBER!?!
5. We get a perfect setup for SO MANY tropes without sacrificing logic and reason to the fanfic gods.
Like the one bed trope. Ofc they have one bed, they were married/engaged/together.
6. Fake/pretend relationship? Oh no! We have to attend this family wedding and everyone and thier pet duck knows we love each other! Hurry up and suck my face off!
7. Fluff? Hey babe? See our photos on which you look at me like I hung the stars in the sky? Isn't that amazing? Leave the dishes for later, let's cuddle on the couch and fall asleep so our friends can tease us later.
8. Denial. Do you want to cook now or should we order takeout pretend that you haven't fallen in love with me all over again? Ok, takeout it is then.
9. We get an almost guaranteed angst with a happy ending bc they're already in love, one just forgot temporarily! (bc some authors are just sadistic.)
10. Smut? Add as much or as less as you want. None? A pinch? Vanilla extract? Choose your amount. It makes sense literally all the ways. They're not? Ofc it would be too heartbreaking and weird. They are? Ofc it might help with the memories! (And besides they got together for a reason)
...and much much more!
With this, I conclude my thesis. I hope I have convinced you. And if not, stop lying. The conclusion of this conclusion is that I conclude that Temporary Amnesia with Established Relationship is the best trope. Thus, this conclusion is now fully concluded.
Thankyou for concludin- um reading.
in love with the concept that even after their memories are erased, character A still loves character B. there's a hole in their heart when they're apart and A doesn't know why. they long to return home, but they don't remember what---or who--- home is. then finally they reunite and B is expecting anything except than A breaking into a smile despite not even knowing their name. the whispered "i feel like i've known you my entire life", the confession of "i feel like we've met before." my heart shatters.
