Remember the Dead	comment	This is a type of afterlife where people only exist as long as they're remembered. What happens when someone fades varies but it most commonly means the Cessation of Existence. Sister trope to Clap Your Hands If You Believe, where things or beings stop existing when there's no one left who believes in them. Compare to God Needs Prayer Badly where a deity only exists as long as they have followers; Immortality Through Memory, which is the more metaphorical case of this trope; and Ancestor Veneration, when the ancestors gain power through remembrance.

Remember the Dead / int_1cc09117	comment	Bleach anime episode #3. After her brother Sora dies, Orihime Inoue regularly prays for him, which gives him peace in the afterlife. After a year she starts to pray for him less and less and begins to forget about him. After she enters high school, she stops praying for him altogether. His sadness and loneliness cause him to not pass on to the Soul Society, which leaves him vulnerable to being converted into a Hollow.

Remember the Dead / int_5534d7da	comment	This is weaponized in Tell me about your Ancestors. ShadowClan cats believe that cats reincarnate once their names are no longer spoken. Evil cats become legendary so that their name is still spoken and they can't reincarnate.

Remember the Dead / int_5936f6eb	comment	Coffee Talk Episode 2: Hibiscus and Butterfly: When fairies die, so do their memories, so they rely on other beings to remember them to continue their existence after death. This is why in Episode 2, the gnomes running Gnome Noms vandalized the cars parked near the spot where the dead hawthorn tree used to be. The tree, which was the "body" of their friend who was killed by a drunk driver in 1959, was uprooted in January 2023, breaking the promise of the previous mayor to keep it in remembrance.

Remember the Dead / int_5e150650	comment	Exalted has one of the lighter examples, surprisingly. When mortals die their soul is drawn to the Lethe where their memories are erased prior to Reincarnation, but they can resist the Lethe's pull with Essence that can be imparted by worship (like any other supernatural being in Creation) or stolen vampirically.

Remember the Dead / int_60156176	comment	Implied to be the case on the planet Barrayar in the Vorkosigan Saga. When a woman who has been convicted of murder is given a sentence which includes the stipulation that "no one...shall make a burning for her when she goes into the ground at last" it's noted that at least the more literal-minded traditionalists will see this as "literally lethal".

Remember the Dead / int_db30cf92	comment	In Warrior Cats, cats that live in Clans (feral colonies) join StarClan after they die if they lived a honorable life. If they didn't follow the warrior code, then they end up in the Dark Forest. Spirits stay in StarClan until they become completely forgotten by all other cats (dead or alive). Once they're forgotten, they fade. What happens when they fade is uncertain. The authors have suggested at different points that they may turn into stars and live peacefully by themselves from thereon, become part of a second StarClan, or stop existing period.

Remember the Dead / int_ec2531c4	comment	In Coco the dead are only allowed to visit the land of the living on the Day of the Dead if someone has left their photo in an ofrenda, family shrine. And if they are completely forgotten by the living, they die the Final Death and fade away, like what happened to Chicharron. It's unknown what happens afterwards but it's implied they cease to exist. The film particularly contrasts the luxurious afterlife of Ernesto, who was a famous singer and actor and is still the idol of many, with the desperate circumstances of Hector, who is remembered clearly only by his daughter, now a very old woman whose memory is failing.

The Hunters are compelled to find some trace of the name so he can be properly put to rest.
