WHAT I
KNOW
FANTASY

vs
REALISM
Fantasy is a genre of speculative fiction set in a fictional universe,
often inspired by real world myth and folklore. Its roots are in oral
traditions, which then became fantasy literature and drama. From
the twentieth century it has expanded further into various media,
including film, television, graphic novels, manga, animated movies
and video games.
Most fantasy uses magic or other supernatural elements as a main 
plot element, theme, or setting. Magic and magical creatures are
common in many of these worlds.

Realism, in philosophy, the viewpoint which accords to things

which are known or perceived an existence or nature which is
independent of whether anyone is thinking about or perceiving
them.
