Sometimes I catch myself thinking a detail is too unrealistic then I have to go “I’m reading a fic about giant talking turtles why do I care that there’s no way the MC is living in an NYC apartment alone of her salary?”

Sometimes the realism is too much cuz I remember I was reading a fic where mc had roaches asf and was embarrassed about people coming over and seeing their rusty bathroom😭 Baby was in the trenches

its bc the author is introducing giant turtles into the story as their own worldbuilding device (or someone elses, in the case of fanfics), but are also still plausibly operating w "real world" mechanics that youre familiar with in your own life- when the latter details are inconsistent, they stand out more! theres a name for this but idk what it is

X OC from a while ago. I just remembered how unrealistic the size of the apartment was for living alone then remembered “there are giant turtles fuck reality”

I’m sure there is a word for it, but I think in this case it was about giving them a large enough place for four (Bayverse sized) turtles to fit and have enough privacy because of secrecy
