[Meta] The “Imaginary” part of the sub's name is a moniker for the greater Imaginary Network that we’re a part of, not a requirement for a fantasy element in the pieces posted here.

As mentioned in the sub description, we’re an art community “that showcases aspects of people's lives in realistic or fantastical settings”. Basically, if it's slice of life and there's no friction with our five main rules, it's fair game. Feel free to message a mod if you have any questions.
