Star Trek
post
The culture series by Ian Banks.
This or Star Trek are the only serious answers.
IMO I would be surprised if anyone who has read the Culture series doesn't say the Culture. That's where I'll be.
Like, oldfangled Trek though, where everyone is highly educated and extremely competent and people turn the lights on more often than not.
1000%. Functionally unlimited lifespan in which to explore the universe, in a super-intelligent ship that contains the sum of civilizational knowledge? Hell yeah, sign me up!
Futurama. People go to the moon for donuts, there are fast food joints even in the furthest reaches of space, you can go any part of the world in less than a second, most, keyword MOST, robots cater to your needs, you can live literally anywhere, and silly, adventurous stuff happen all the time.
The Pokemon universe would be kinda fun just to have one of the creatures there as someone to chill with.
For sure me and Jigglypuff would end up in marker scribble fights pretty frequently.
i would go with Gardevoir myself.
Trix commercials. I get to steal food from that rabbit all day with zero consequences.
Culture. No question.
Wouldn't mind a lift, if the good ship Arbitrary is listening.
Animal Crossing. All I have to do is go to bed by 1800 (2000?) and I avoid ever seeing the knee high tarantulas.
If I had to live in one as a normal person: culture or startrek, as mentioned
If I get to choose my roll/skillset, gleeman in Wheel of Time, visiting all the countries would be amazing
The Culture
Star Trek.
TNG era Star Trek; not modern Trek.
This is going to sound silly but Kushiel's Dart. I just want to see a world with absolutely no sexually transmitted diseases and a reverence for all sorts of sex.
Star Trek would also be heavenly.
Very few of them, which annoys me. 90% of fictional universes are dystopian, on the edge of collapse, and only savable by a smaller group.
The Trails games kind of stood out for having a world that’s usually on pace, and isn’t even aware of whatever sinister plot your detectives/adventurers are looking into.
Just let me live somewhere in the Super Mario universe. Reality is cruel and complicated. Let me be a weirdo hermet npc that gives tips to Mario and Luigi when they find my secret cabin.
If we assume I'm not one of the main characters but by living in the world it follows basically the same rules as them. Then zero question Phineas and Ferb.
I see so many people saying Star Trek but there are so many wars and other major issues in that world. In P&F the worst evil people in the world are part of LOVE MUFFIN and able to be completely handled and even often rehabilitated by animal agents.
Whichever universe food commercials take place in. Soon as someone says their hungry the most beautiful food appears instantly but somehow no one ever gets fat. I know that IRL those commercials use paint, woodchips and all sort of nasty stuff to get it looking like that, but IN UNIVERSE everyone loves it. I wanna live there.
Stardew Valley. Theres some fucked up shit beneath the surface, but you can financially support yourself just from taking nature walks. thats all i want.
Adventure Time. Wild crazy adventures, all sorts of interesting creatures. Artisan pickles. You would never be bored.
The world of Shrek has tons of cool magic in it, sign me up! But also most cartoon/animation worlds, where you can survive all sorts of physical shenanigans with no injuries or consequences.
Frankly, any cozy-game universe would probably be perfect. Stardew Valley, Harvest Moon, Hello Kitty Island Adventure, Disney Dreamlight Valley. Even if I end up bored of all the happiness, I can go villain then later have a redemption arc.
Early 30k.
Less well known but,
Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers or
The nine worlds of The Hands of the Emporer by Victoria Goddard
nice people doing the best they can, in a world that isn't like our current dystopia
Easy: Tommy Westphall Universe
Buffy. X-Files. Battlestar Galactica. Batman and Superman and DC JL. ALF. Dr. Who. Firefly. Heroes. Bewitched. Knightrider. Power Rangers. Red Dwarf. Mr Robot. Star Gate. Star Trek.
All the same universe, my friends.
You already do. As mentioned in the comments, X-Files had a crossover with Cops, which is our universe.
star trek definately. My wife and I agree that if we had to live in a fictional universe this would be it. To many others its great to be main or special charactters but the average person its not necessarily great.
I would have said Adventure Time but someone else got there first. I'm only about a third in but maybe Persona (5)? For the music alone 🎶
