i’m a fiction factory

There is a brief ramble I had explaining it with a friend once.

The idea of a god devoid of the complexity and pleasures and limits that a human has and desiring to feel what that's like probably also exists in other things. It's a logical conclusion to draw, I feel, when even just pondering existence.

Lately I feel inspired by Mindgame 2004's God, the Jerry's from disneypixarfilm Soul (which could have been waaaay better), and like, the whole deal with Everything Everywhere All At Once, because who isnt. We have to explore.

Fantasy is Not Possible in Our World under our Structure and Rules of Reality but the IDEA of Fantasy is still "Real" because we are able to create the idea. Humans have a unique capability in that they can form ideas, which is a real thing they can do.

I am trying, in Rotary, to implement geographic and geopolitical divide in the world by creating a continent (or group of continents or just one of two hemispheres) thats physical features are entirely based in reality and thus its sovereignty aims to maintain REALISM. While the other side of this is a region based in FANTASY. A region where things look and function and exist "weirdly," looking colorful and magical and eccentric and indulgent and such.

How would, in this world, the FANTASY region even be recognized as not being based in reality if it proves itself to be real by existing? By not being able to be explained by science? By the fantasy qualities only spawning long after realism was established, thus existing as anomalous to what is considered normal?

It's very speculative, but there is probably a way to pull this off. I almost want to incorporate even the concept of "hand wavey plot hole explanations" as a narrative theme that like, is part of the narrative rather than (or ig along with) the meta narrative concept of a plot hole.

Oh, yes I made a doodle entertaining this long ago.

And because what you make is (/comes from) a culmination of everything you know, and you know more things as you grow, then you have more context and enlightenment and whatever to go back to your big board and revise. If you keep in mind from the start that nothing is sacred then you won't feel hesitation to make even big changes with your project.
