Fantasy creatures are cool, but what about snails? Soooo weird.

“...Can't believe how strange it is to be anything at all.”

Just take five minutes to research what people are capable of. Humans are wizards. Also, fantasy relies on motifs accessible by mundane life

So we're NPC's

Wash: [about River] Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science-fiction. Zoë: We live in a spaceship, dear. Wash: So?

Last time i checked there are no dragons or elfs or the like. Just sayin.

I find everything that qualifies to me as "fantasy" is either impossible or illegal.
Valfheim
The worst thing about life is accepting that you might not ever get a happily ever after. You fail, and it's game over. 1/2
Valfheim
Life is scary and hard, but knowing your personality and thoughts hold weight to your future is sometimes too much to bear. 2/2
GripLOG
Well I guess EA owns this world since you have to pay for anything fun
BlackRino
Yeah but what if you're not special and crazy things are happening all the time. Scary shit man. You'll be having PTSD all the time. 1/3
BlackRino
Everyday you'll be worried about whether you'll make it through the day.

I don't know, I don't consider brwosing the internet for hours on end as adventurous as fighting orcs or whatever
carlitosmatute
This is the premise of most Discworld and Terry Pratchett's books.
ReverseTrapTsukasa
This is why you don't tell Haruhi that there are espers, time travelers, aliens, & more.

lovetorun
I kinda liked the Xanth novels for this exact reason. The main characters that lived in their strange world didn't see it as the amazing
lovetorun
place that it truly was because they Lived in it. They often didn't find out how wonderful it was till they went out exploring beyond their
lovetorun
comfort zones.
DongleDingleDangle
No... even in those worlds people are pretty impressed by magic and shit.
LeeTheEnginee
Only where there are magic users and non-magic users. Similar to how many view wealth.
pizzapartyhard
Dude, i watched How It's Made the other day about acrylic bathtubs and I was amazed by that.
RandomImgurian
Well let's be honest, spaceships and computers and robots and stuff are really cool, and the people who make them are basically wizards.
RabidHobo
People should just give them money.
Trondason
And like magic and shit, they are only impressive if they aren't part of the normal persons life. If they grew up around it, it's meh.

I love this. Grass is greener is such a harmful idealogy. I wonder why it effects some people more than others.

We live in a reality where a violent evil cult controls a significant amount of the world, and pointing it out is taboo, Voldemort style.
bpetersen
Lawful evil*
Garouleloup
Haha conspiracy theories are funny but that's all they are! *sweats profusely*
LlamaLingo
And that cult is....?
Poopaloupe
Ancient cult that controls slave trade still.
Poopaloupe
No but that part of the world definitely contributes. The slavers are global. Factions? A central religion? Who can really say?
LlamaLingo
Muslims?
Poopaloupe
No but that part of the world definitely contributes. The slavers are global. Factions? A central religion? Who can really say?
VioletMoonRising
Yeah, not true at all. Even in those worlds people are impressed and filled with wanderlust. Nice try at being deep though.
StormtrooperFKD47
What about space and science? At the level we are today i think most fantasy world would've been mind blown. Magic is just a really /1
StormtrooperFKD47
convenient way to explain something that is impossible in many cases, and i think a world where humans can fly, go to space, be at the /2
StormtrooperFKD47
bottom of the deepest parts pf the ocean, using weapons that can kill at extreme ranges. And all this without magic, just pure knowledge /3

i belive is more interesting than just "magic".

Atleast I can kill people and they drop loot
h0125t
its a roguelike though so be careful.. they usually have permadeath
sgv1
There was one guy who found a glitch that let him respawn, but the game devs patched it pretty quickly.
h0125t
actually people talk about more people like that but always insist theirs is the only one that couls pull it off...
FishstickPizza
This RNG system blows. I keep killing mobs but nothing good has dropped yet!
Zokalwe
But never a drop in framerate.
AbsolutelyNotTheNSA
Texture packs are a lottery too. Unless you buy the upgraded visuals pack from the in-game store.
calcleric
Unless you have a technical issue affecting your machine (brain)
AnAspiringImgurian
I have narcolepsy. I think that's more server lag than frame rate though. *Connection error... restarting system*

MomToldMeToOpenImgurSoIDid
But... But... This "fantasy" world sucks, it has no dragons, no princesses to save, no superpowers and most importantly I'm not the hero...
SKELETONMAAAN
You are not the hero in this world without dragons, why do you think you'd be a hero in a world full of dragons and magic?
DocVolt
We have electronics and i harness it. Best superpower ever
IamNOTatomato12
You could be the villain.
MomToldMeToOpenImgurSoIDid
I really might be actually...
hashbrowned
At least we have good ol musky

Yeah, but we can also create lightning using glowing rocks from the ground, to transport messages through the air instantly.

Not with that attitude
itwasbuilticame
We have Komodo dragons, lots of princess to save, and I had a friend in highschool who could lick his own elbow.
dthninja2
It's got the Internet...
DetectivePool
We have fresh clean water in our houses, which we can poop in, while simultaneously talking to people on the other side of the world.
DetectivePool
That's basically magic.
idunnogoddamwaterbottles
There are all sorts of seemingly impossible skills you could master, there's your superpower. And when shits bad everyone has a chance 1/2
idunnogoddamwaterbottles
To be a bit of a hero at least a little. Donate to march for babies. There, you're a hero. 2/2
SomeOneWhoShouldHaveKnownBetterAboutDoingThisSortaThing
You are the hero. In EVERY interaction you can choose to contribute towards a kinder reality with less suffering than is necessary.
sgv1
There are tons of unique and interesting animals that you are never ever going to see or interact with because they're dangerous/endangered
skellington01
It has dogs. AND boobs. Seriously, what else could you ask for?
legalisegaymarijuana
You can run 20mph, jump up to a metre, swim underwater for up to 6 minutes, remember massive amounts of information, & jizz 6 feet.
Killstealer
no dragons but we do have self guiding artillery rounds, internet and satellite communications, a permanently inhabited spacecraft, and more
LordGODMemester
We do have dragons, princesses and superpowers. Gila monster, princess Diane (didn't save her), and look up the "Ice man" Wim Hof.
alanivar75
Sounds like you're a little bitch
GrimDarkKing
You're the NPC.
Nerdromancer
I'm fine with not being the hero if it means good ol' musky is...

Find a/some underprivileged kid(s). Become someone's hero.

Everyone wants to be dragonborn.
suntzupup
it does have crazy awesome science. like cell phones! and it has dogs! you can go out now and save dogs and you'll be a hero! use your cell!
VonMatadorMyDearSerk
What do you mean? Compare this world you live in, which has VGames, Movies, Music, Technology and innovation, with the prehistoric wild life
VonMatadorMyDearSerk
The Fantasy shit is around you, but you're used to it so you don't see it as something from Fantasy, just as OP's OR.
MomToldMeToOpenImgurSoIDid
Fantasies differ, this might be a fantasy come true to some and not to others
AllTheGoodOnesWereGone
Having grown up through the time when one megabyte of RAM cost $12,000, I can definitely say we're living in a fantasy world now.
aether11
No superpowers? Explain magnets. No one can.

You're one of the NPC peasants unless you start your journey by joining the Military. Travel the world, save some people, shoot a gun. Your

AVeryNakedMoleRat
Fuck dragons. We’ve got jets with Gatling guns that fire inch-plus explosive slugs. Any pussy-ass dragon would be annihilated with one BRRRT
FuckYouImSokka
You cannot blame anyone else but yourself that you're not the hero of your own story
MomToldMeToOpenImgurSoIDid
Why can't i? Why can't I blame them for making it harder for me to be the hero of my own story while they make it easier for others?
FuckYouImSokka
Because it is your life, you let them be hero instead of you. Believe whatever you want, but you control who leads the way in your life.
Temptationsmeowmix
I will become your villian
Redwolf2495
Everyone’s the hero of their own story. And who knows, you could be someone else’s hero if you try!

CaptRandom1290
Even Hitler?
idiotn00b
Especially Hitler
AwkwardKeming
I am absolutely, 100%, an NPC. My greatest aspiration is that I'll play a pivotal role in the hero's backstory.
MomToldMeToOpenImgurSoIDid
I don't think that everyone is the hero of their own story, sometimes they end up being the villain.
Ivegotsomethinginmyfrontpocketforyou
Yet, the truest villains don't see that. They just see a different kind of hero.
MomToldMeToOpenImgurSoIDid
1) I don't think that they see themselves as anything. They wait for a hero in their "own" story without realizing that they are the hero
MomToldMeToOpenImgurSoIDid
2) that will help them achieve their dreams thus inadvertently becoming the villain that instead keeps them down and stops them
AlienVsPredatorVsBrownVsTheBoardOfEducation
Reminds me of I Am Legend. To us, Neville is a human just trying to survive. To the vampires, he's a monster who hunts, traps and kills them
thefakestache
This is much more exemplified in the original (omega man) because the ghouls can talk. There's an excellent monolgue from one of them.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Ah, someone who read the book. Nice
TomZarekVP
Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price is the most faithful movie adaptation.
helenkeller69
.
HorseMcFucker
To be fair, don't they try to kill him a lot more than he tries to kill them?
iateabagel
Yes. The vampires constructed their society and Robert is killing them and performing experiments on thier corpses. They want him gone.
AGirlWhoLeaptThroughPosts
In the book they feared him and tried to get rid of him, because he was a legendary hunter, last remnant of a dead world that once was.
MisterDictionary
Definitely not efficient enough, though. Still vampires around, after all.
HorseMcFucker
Reminds me of Darren Shan, in a way. I assume there was an obligatory language barrier in the way that prevented explanations?
AGirlWhoLeaptThroughPosts
No, there wasn't, they did understood each other and talked. It's a great book really, I recommend reading it.
AlienVsPredatorVsBrownVsTheBoardOfEducation
The story you're living and the role you play can be very different depending on who the audience is
TheAngryMarineBiologist
Very true, I mean, Twilight is a romance novel to the woman who wrote it
MomToldMeToOpenImgurSoIDid
Totally agree, one's own story is different from the whole story. A war veteran can be a hero in his country but a devil in another country
thefriedshrimp
Freedom fighter or a terrorist
deanr253
then please explain Komodo dragons!?
MomToldMeToOpenImgurSoIDid
They are like the made in china version of the dragons that Im talking about, they don't count lol
darkdragonempress
How about the giant ass crocodiles? They are armor plated badasses.
MomToldMeToOpenImgurSoIDid
Too slow and impractical lol
darkdragonempress
On land they aren't that slow. In water you are fucked. If you don't like that choice we do have lots of mini dragons. Some can fly 1
mustang2733
Reverse engineered chickens? They're big, roar, and shake the earth
Istherenothingleft
Practicality must be considered when fantasizing about dragons you know
