One without designer suffering.
LOTR.
Would probably die there, tho.

One of the ones I created in my mind. I’d live happily there until I died.
The Shire. I’d just live in my Hobbit hole, eat second breakfasts, and take long walks. Peaceful!
Bad thing about the shire is, in the books particularly, I get the feeling that the Hobbits are super judgy and talk shit about each other constantly behind their backs.
Which, given that the shire is so small and insular, checks out. What else are they talking about after they finish up about the weather or wondering when Gandalf will show up with fireworks again.
There’s definitely a hobbit HOA and they definitely suck.
So, a small town?
I moved back to the farm and my fucking god, everyone knows what everyone else is doing to the finest detail. It’s a little creepy. Oh, and anyone without a Facebook account has to be hiding something.
I don’t think it’s canon but didn’t Tolkien write sequels where the Hobbits are forced out of the shire by the expanding humans, eventually turning back into the nomadic harfoots they once were?
I’d pick the world from Malazan: Book of the Fallen. I’d probably die.
The Culture. Live as long as you want, as whatever gender you feel like at the moment, doing whatever you want, with all the recreational drugs you could ever want on tap in your brain, and no scarcity on a living ship touring the galaxy looking for interesting places.
And if you’re sick of all the utopia, there’s always Contact and SC.
oh, definitely TNG-era Star Trek.
Socialist Space Utopia where I can be or do whatever I like anywhere I like, free of need and want? Sounds awesome!
What would I do? Explore the endless opportunities!
That is until the occasional apocalyptic events (assimilated Earth in First Contact), or the upcoming Dominion War…
well, technically, FC assimilated Earth happened in an alternate timeline, but you make a good point about the Domino War and wanting to avoid that. So, yeah, I’d want to arrive after that ended.
But if you’re living on a planet far from the fighting, sure there might be a slight change in your day-to-day, but you wouldn’t be consumed by it. Even living in the Alpha Centauri system would be far from the fighting but close enough in to be a core world in the Federation.
The Breen hit Earth in the Dominion War
Plus the Founders caused their own bout of chaos
Star Trek Socialist Space Utopia
That’s something totally I’m up for too
As far as fictional societies to live in goes it’s hard to beat an optimistic sci fi setting lmao.
Although I might choose the Ascian civilization from FF14, as long as it’s before the Final Days. Eternal life and post scarcity powered by magic, and the way most people self actualize is by literally creating life like gods. If it’s early enough I would travel to other planets myself and possibly avert the apocalypse altogether.

It was never said to be socialist. At best, the federation gave rations to its soldiers. I hate that little myth, its not canon.
You haven’t seen the same Star Trek as… well, everyone else.
Huh, I honestly forgot about that line. And I haven’t seen the movie in a decade or more.
My bad.
Chilling with hobbits sounds pretty cool.
Eat lots of good, local food, drink loads of beer, smoke tons of weed out of sweet ass churchwarden pipes.
Harry Potter/Howarts, but in a boring ass house, or another generation where Voldemort or Voldemort gang are not seen.
Granted! But you are still a muggle with zero connection to the magic world. Your life remains unchanged
What did I do to you (•_•)
TBH even during Voldemort’s era I don’t think many normal folks were impacted except if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time or briefly when they took over the Ministry. So it’d of been pretty minor overall for your average wizard I think (correct me if I’m wrong, been a while since I read the books).
except if they were in the wrong place at the wrong time
Oh, so average LATAM experience, maybe I can cope with it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I like world-building. I’d just choose one of my favorite works.

I’d like to travel to Linda Nagata’s Inverted Frontier universe. It’s a far future post human universe with lots of mysteries to explore.
