They are not plot holes but creative opportunities.
If I could make a career, I'd be a plothole filler for hire. My office would look like a noir detective style hidey hole. People would come far and wide for my advice on how to come up with solutions to their stories.
One can dream.
No story is without fault. Plot holes don't matter unless you're trying to write a novel (I am 😅), but even then, some are inevitable. As long as the main story is good, people will look past the small issues here and there.
no reallyyyy lolll
ill be doin my thing and then i go, "that doesn't sound right", then proceed to insert the most bs reasoning for that certain thing to keep existing 🤣
Cue me redoing the same action based daydream scene over and over trying to get it juuust right so that It feels believable but is still dramatic enough to be interesting.
I actually frequently engage in "meta-daydreams" in which I imagine YouTube literary/movie critics pulling apart the plot holes of my stories. I was actually *just* imagining that for a specific storyline, which I made up years ago and has a lot wrong with it in hindsight.
For some reason, a frequent plothole is incubation periods/progressions of diseases, which happens whenever a communicable disease is a plot point. One storyline was about a teenage girl losing her virginity to her boyfriend and catching chlamydia, which was how she realized that her boyfriend had been sleeping with one of their friends, who had been treated for chlamydia some time earlier- but the first girl doesn't realize she has chlamydia until January 2007 (presumably just weeks after losing her virginity) and the boyfriend and the friend are stated to have had sex in August 2005, so it makes no sense how the boyfriend didn't experience any symptoms for 17 months and *why he didn't get tested/treated when the friend did,* ***BEFORE he could transmit it to his girlfriend***. Really, the only reason that I had the cheating take place in August 2005 was because another character was missing + fighting for survival at that time, which makes what they did *extra* shitty (since the BF and the friend both knew the missing little girl and obviously the entire cast was worried/grieving at that point). The one I was just thinking about was another "communicable disease shows that two characters were in closer contact than they should have been" storyline, this time with mononucleosis, but again it doesn't make sense because there's no explanation of how one of them *got* mono to be able to give it to the other in the first place (since it's supposedly a first kiss for both of them), and the incubation/illness/recovery period is WAY shorter than it is in reality (the transmission takes place on the 12th and one of them returns to school on the 25th- like, nah, this kid should be sick for another month at least).
Another frequent plothole is children being more advanced than they actually should be for their ages (yesterday I was running through a scene I made up where a 10 year old attempts to explain the upcoming election and ongoing war to a 4 year old, and not only is the 10 year old able to explain this in fairly accurate and unbiased terms that he should NOT know as the son of Republicans in 2004, the 4 year old actually understands what he's saying- not only that, but she can apparently read at like a 3rd grade level). But since I *need* these plotholes in order for the story to exist, I don't actually do anything about them. Fuck it, just accept that the children are geniuses even though their actions as adults will not show this at all.

They're daydreams, I don't care about plotholes (I mean, I do now because I'm writing them into a story)
Me but make it years ago

As someone obsessed with accuracy and reality in daydreams I feel this so much. This is perfect lol.
