      Yeah magical realism has the element where supernatural shit happens and it never gets acknowledged as something crazy. Like in 100 years where a ghost shows up and it’s played as a major annoyance and not horror.

        I feel like treating random ass ghosts as a horror thing is very :lmayo:

            And just the assumption that anything strange and unusual is automatically hostile. So many cultures view ghosts as a positive, often helpful phenomena but in white america it's always supposed to be scary.

      I feel like it starts out that way in the muggle world, but otherwise I'd consider it full fantasy (lib and boring, but fantasy nevertheless)
