everyone go read the world forgetting by the world forgot right now it’s so good

buy me a ko-fi?¿ (would be very cool)

snippet of the fic below (by bonesandthebees)

tysm for writing this amazing fic, i hope you like this :D

I just wanted to drop in and say I really loved your fic “The world forgeting by the world forgot”, genuinely cannot stop brain rotting about it. It grabbed me by the collar and dragged me back into dsmp (dark sbi specifically),but I wanted to thank you for being such a great writer and keeping your old fics up!!!

i was just wondering if the title for the fic was initally based off the film or the original poem, and how that inspiration affected the overall story?

small side note, but was the ending of world forgetting by any chance inspired by the eternal sunshine ending? because i feel like they have quite similar parallels with the whole 'messiness of relationships and love and learning how to grow as people. and then having a hopeful ending but also not an ending that's set in stone yet because you decide that the people you love are worth the struggle' and i honestly love both the endings of the film and your fic

god i found this film so genuinely interesting to think about and i just had so many thoughts about themes and characters and arghhh

(sorry if you've answered something similar to this before, i was just super curious and i never really deep dived into the title origins until now. i know it's been like years since the fic was published but still-)

(also just wanted to say i reread honey and tangerines recently it's such a comfort fic for me because i love the how the characters are written and it just feels so cosy. on a final note, sorry for rambling quite a bit, this was meant to be only the initial question but oh well)

hello hello I am answering your ask like a month and a half late and I am so sorry about it but unfortunately law school just eats up all of my free time

but let me tell you when I read this ask for the first time over a month ago I got so excited because yes! a ton of my inspo for world forgetting came from eternal sunshine of the spotless mind, including the title. it's one of my all time favorite movies and I always really loved the themes about choosing ignorance and messy relationships and how your memories change who you are as a person and the way that affects your relationships and just all of that. I also tied a lot of other themes into world forgetting that weren't from eternal sunshine but that was definitely a big chunk of the inspiration so it made me so happy to see you pick up on that. it's such a good film ugh

This is the kid Wilbur saw as a little brother yet now that kid despises him. God knows what Dream did to him to cause the amnesia and use it to turn Tommy into somebody he doesn't fully recognise but they will get to the bottom of this. Then over the coming days and weeks, he sees Tommy get lost in the pressure to be somebody he isn't anymore. Wilbur will love Tommy regardless of who he is now. If that means letting him get a headstart on running away, so be it.

Things will eventually work out for them but in that moment, where Wilbur unmasks a panicking Lucid to reveal the person whose absence he's been grieving for months, his whole world falls apart.
