A fantasy story isn’t a fantasy story without magic.
Change my mind
I think I’ve seen a story in the fantasy section that doesn’t have magic, actually. It’s about ~royals~, though. And I like fictional royals.
A fantasy story isn’t a fantasy story without ~royals~.
Royals do exist in real life fantasy is classified as a fiction dependent for effect on strangeness of setting (such as other worlds or times) and of characters (such as supernatural or unnatural beings), according to Google.
But creating your own world can be considered fantasy, so I think that every story is indeed a fantasy unless stated to be inspired by real life events?
It’s just a line to make things clear, which for fantasy, its boundaries are actually very blurry
Not gonna lie, the most surprising part of this definition is that it can be spelled with a ph. English is cursed.
A fantasy story isn’t a fantasy story without everyone somehow speaking the same language.
Hold up. Wait a minute.
…
I’ve never thought of this.
I understand why it’s a thing, though. If there was a language barrier in every new place the characters went, the story would have a major block.
Well yeah, that’s valid.
A fantasy story isn’t a fantasy story without 48 minutes of worldbuilding yet the audiences are still confused af.
