“ Fantasy is not the opposite of reality; it is what reality forecloses, and, as a result, it defines the limits of reality… The critical promise of fantasy, when and where it exists, is to challenge the contingent limits of what will and will not be called reality. Fantasy is what allows us to imagine ourselves and others otherwise; it establishes the possible in excess of the real; it points elsewhere, and when it is embodied, it brings the elsewhere home.
— Judith Butler, Undoing Gender, page 29. And now I will go buy groceries and leave you alone. Sorry!
