By universe, I’m talking a TV show, Anime, Graphical Novel, Cartoon, Movie, a book, heck even time travel.
I want to live in high tech but ethical peace and comfort
Janeway: “Hold my beer”
Beer? Have you ever even watched voyager? It’s coffee all the way for her.
Having said that, voyager mostly wasn’t very good, and federation standards were indeed very fluid in that show
To be fair, they were a LONG way from federation rules enforcement.
One thing they never really get into in Star Trek is how the body modification scene evolved in a future with medical replicators and “Doc will shine a light on it” levels of medical technology. I’m sure they could easily perform a gender transition, including changing reproductive organs to whatever combo a person wanted, in an afternoon, to say nothing of the possibility of cosmetic and functional structural changes. We see them perform highly complex and detailed biological modifications so crew members can pass as aliens like it’s nothing, so why not make people taller/shorter, wider/narrower hips, bigger/smaller boobs, more feminine/masculine face, horns, pointed or alien ears, new sense organs, extra arms, etc. What kind of wild piercings are people getting? What new methods and styles of tattoos have they come up with? The possibilities are incredible. That would be a fun world to explore, even within the Federation’s taboo against genetic alteration.
Quark gets a gender transition on Deep Space Nine
Oh yeah that’s right I forgot about that. He got a full gender transition in a couple hours.
Everyone would request the ability to suck their own dicks, and never leave the home anymore.
The only downside is living in a universe that has the Borg. They are existential terror incarnate.
That said, they seem to always get defeated one way or another. Just make sure you live in a major federation star system and you’re golden.
Gumby and his friends can walk into any book and play in that book’s world, so choosing that fictional universe basically gives you access to all of the fictional universes. The only big trade-off is you and everyone else are ugly as shit.
Already ugly as shit. No downsides.
So, do Playboys count as books?
Gumby’s world only has Clayboys
Animal Crossing. Just seems like a nice relaxing life.
You now owe a raccoon 7 trillion leaves
Star trek has transporters, holodecks, and amazing medical technology. There are other usniverses that have some of these, but not all 3 in one place. But basically, that is what I would go for.
Infinite food on demand as well so the only thing we have to worry about is alcohol that tastes good neat.
The lack of porn/hentai universes in the comments is refreshing.
…That being said…
Everything can be porn.
I’d choose a Ship’s Mind from the Culture Series by Ian M. Banks, specifically a GCU class vessel.
I also came in here to choose the Culture, although I’d be a human. Drug glands FTW.
I’ll go first. I’m stuck between Futurama, Jonny Quest/Venture Bros and even old school Hawaii 5 - 0.
Wind in the Willows. How I long to live a lazy life along the Thames with Water Rat and Mole.
Didn’t expect this. Yeah, a lazy life is not bad at all.
Walter Bishop, Fringe
Not sure, but I know which one I absolutely would not choose: Westeros.
That’s a wise exclusion. I can’t think of anyone in that world who is actually happy.
Let’s do hard mode.
Alice in Borderland.
Probably some chill children’s show
Generic isekai with magic. Should be fun
Nearly every isekai I’ve watched/read has involved a lot of brushes with death and/or having to repeatedly pull yourself out of near-impossible situations. Not sure it’s worth the magic and elf-girl harems…
I would do practically anything that isn’t evil for magic, so worth it in my book.
Born as the son of a noble trope or I also have access to direct shipping through a magical web UI trope. Let’s goooo
I’ll go with the “I have a skill that everyone thinks is useless, but it’s actually the most OP skill ever because I’m so smart in how I use it” trope.
Like, my skill is material molding. Most people use it to make nails or to be a production worker of some type, making wheels for carts and the like, but since I know about the modern world, I’ll be making record players and computers and cell phones and solar panels.
Hey you, you’re finally awake…
I hope i survive long wnough to settle downn with Lydia.
I’d say either pokemon or very hungry caterpillar
The pokemon world would be an absolutely terrifying place… wild beasts running around with powers capable of essentially dropping nukes on command, if not planet or universe destroying powers. Even if we assumed all the pokemon low level, they could pretty much all dominate humans with no problem. Caterpie would have you wrapped in a cocoon and be feasting on your inards before you even had the time to consider running.
