I just realized this can be considered "not imaginary" but... it's SO GOOD! :)
Feel free to remove, as always.
i don't know, i was contemplating it
but i did somewhat anticipate this just encompassing the content that would normally be posted to !steampunk@lemmy as that doesn't exist yet
goddammit you're making me think again crul i hate thinking
Oops :D, I can only say that it wasn't on purpose. By (my subjective) definition I consider all steampunk to be imaginary because it's an invented aesthetic that never was a real thing.
But I can also see why a "real object" can be viewed as non-imaginary. As others have said, it's up to you to decide.
i mean, i guess it is technically an art piece so it scrapes by. and also because there's currently no better lemmysphere for it and it's cool
but i don't think it'd wash in, say, !imaginarywastelands
no-one has said that but you (unless you mean martineski; and i tend to do the opposite of anything he says)
