Ever read a book, watched a movie, or played a video game that you love the universe/world so much that you want to move there and live there forever?
One i made alongside someone else for a roleplay years ago. It was epic :(
I’m confused, why the frown?
the rp reached a hiatus halfway through. We were starting to unveil the mysteries of the past
How about the Simpsons? A fictitious America where a man can own a house and provide for his family with one job.
Not fictious. That’s how it was in the late 80’s before the full effects of reaganomics kicked in.
Fine, what’s a TV show based in '80s America? The Americans! Just a nice, stress-free American family life in the suburbs.
The movie from studio Ghibli Whisper of the Heart is so beautiful I wish I can live there :(
Ghibli studio man…
One of the only happy tears that happened in my life is probably when I watched Howl’s Moving Castle. The sound track, the beautiful animation… I just can’t
Roshar!
If it’s a hundred years or so before book events, and not in Vorin kingdoms (Azir maybe?) then sure. Scadrial during Elendel era would offer a better quality of life though.
Do they actually value life? Most of it is feudal which means most individuals don’t have great lives.
Depends on where you end up. There’s a big difference between being Azish vs. Shin vs. Veden vs. Alethi, etc., and even what Highprince you’re under if you’re Alethi.
Let’s see how Wind and Truth ends first lol
Star Trek. I want to live in a post-scarcity society with incredible technology.
Right there with ya. 🖖
I’ll see your Star Trek and raise you The Culture.
The Culture is objectively the safer answer. Living in Star Trek feels like it carries a fairly significant daily risk of being assimilated / used in a Romulan plot / sucked into some weird negative space wedgie / having a console explode in your face for no good reason.
Meanwhile, if you’re in the Culture, you’ve pretty well got it made.
Yeah The Federation has a surprising lack of Space OSHA?
The Culture would be a grand place indeed
thay sounds amazing tbh
The world of Bluey and Friends.
LoTR would be hella cool to live in, especially in The Shire.
I would absolutely love to just chill with my hobbit friends, tend to the fields, then either party or have a lovely dinner party at night and head back to my hobbit hole. Then wake n bake in the morning and do it all over again!
One word, Wales.
Instructions unclear - moved to Newport. Not the experience I was hoping for…
Stardew Valley is pretty laid-back and low-stakes. Relationships are incredibly easy–just give them a fish or a rock or whatever. I could get into it.
I wish someone would try to build a relationship with me by treating me like a Stardew NPC. Do you have any idea how quickly I would grow to love someone if they had a habit of giving me random shiny rocks and vegetables that they grew?
Discworld
Narnia! I have read all 7 books multiple times over the years and get lost in the world each time.
Dark Souls. I want to experience death over and over again but get up and keep going, because there’s is an actual real goal to strive for.
You really want to live in a world that is rotting and is so bad that theres actually a good argument to be made for just letting it all stop forever?
It would be like trading an apple for another apple, so yeah
Depends on context. Do I get fantastic powers or just regular “dump 'em in the middle of somewhere and let them figure it out”?
If the former, I gotta fix that Harry Potter world. It ticks me off.
If the latter, a version of reality where people stay true to their ideals and don’t just spot random bullshit. It might be better, it might be worse, I want to see the difference.I think the place where I would love to live forever would be Stone Hill zone in the first Spyro the Dragon video game. I guess the whole world in that game is wonderful, but something about those beautiful rolling hills, and that wonderful music feels like heaven to me. It’s simple but I always felt this way about it.
I have it pretty bad for The Elder Scrolls. I’ve returned to the series time and time again for decades now, primarily Morrowind and Skyrim, and spend a huge amount of time each playthrough reading every single book and immersing myself in Nirn and it’s lore. I genuinely feel humbled by all of it, and something about that universe, the depth of its history with its unreliable narrators leaving much to speculation, as well as that immense sea of stars, Masser and Secunda, and the guardian constellations watching over you at night to the overwhelming swells of Jeremy Soule’s music is just profoundly moving to me in a way I can’t quite put into words.
Same, I also mentioned in other reply I feel so comfortable in Riften
Avatar : TLA i don’t even need to be a bender tbh
I thought this, but, like many worlds, it seems like it isn’t so great if you don’t have plenty of money. There are places where this is less true, but still…
If, however, I could be a bender (sremoveds in UK) then that would actually be pretty cool…
