If you woke up tomorrow and your life was transformed into something wonderful, what would that look like?

For the sake of argument, let's limit this to changes that are possible in reality, i.e. no magic or being gifted the ability to fly, stuff like that.

An apartment in a walkable city to a job that I enjoy working at.

I'd have way more money. I don't know how...won the lottery? Money would fix 99% of my problems. I'd be living someplace like Colorado with my family.

$$$$$

I would be rich. Sadly in my case money would buy a lot of my happiness by erasing some anxieties and helping with my health to the point where I could live a happier life so, cash it is.

I’d have won a couple hundred million in the lotto. Most of the current US presidential administration, their supporters in the House and Senate, and people appointed on their watch would all have suffered debilitating strokes, or lightning strikes, or been hit by cargo falling out of airplanes passing overhead. Also my next medical checkup would show nothing physically amiss. No magic required for any of it, but pretty damn improbable.

People to be friends with and a girlfriend.

I'd have my hair and my teeth back, the rest of my body would not be jacked up. I'd have significantly reduced stress, a changed name, complete separation from my abuser (as in legally and financially speaking). I'd live in a good place that isn't prone to horrifically damaging weather events. I'd have a career I love that I could actually support myself in (or just win the goddamn lottery anonymously, I dunno). I'd have a decent amount of good friends/family or at least feel like I did. I'd be fuckloads braver, maybe, and have a nice bed and some awesome pets.

I'd wake up with millions of dollars in my bank account and a high performing stock portfolio. My health problems would be cured. The house would be sparkling clean. An amazing new sushi bar would've just opened in my town. I'd be filled with a sense of peace and purpose that fuels my creativity so I could write.

the basement would no longer leak, the yard would be clean with beautiful patches of native prairie exactly where I want them, I would be down 30 pounds and up $5million.

funny how none of these transformed lives would be magically better with merely a chintz couch and pretty tea set, isn't it?

I would have enough for me and my brother to not worry about financial issues. My mom would be 100% healthy again and I'd be in Colorado with family anyway and my boyfriend would be able to come up and we could sign the papers and elope.

Also my friends would have happier home situations and accesses to whatever help they may need.

Pretty much the same, but I have a large amount of money in my bank account, I never have to talk to the unemployment office ever again, and I can send my dad to see more specialists than the one he's seeing (who is a good bloke, but won't consider a knee replacement until my dad can no longer walk at all).

Everything wrong with my house would be fixed, the dying tree would be cut down, the garage razed and re-built, and the yard re-landscaped for better drainage and a patio added. Also, my aging car would be replaced with a new one. It would be nice if my house were paid off, too.

I already answered, but I didn’t say anything about having friends or a significant other because having either of those in a day feels like magical cheating in a way “suddenly rich” doesn’t. And I’d like to be healthier and lose weight, but if I lost more than a couple pounds in a day it’d probably mean losing a limb or something.

It's a shame you specified that the changes have to be realistically possible, otherwise I'd've said that I'd be healthy and pain-free. Ah, well.

I'd have a cozy little cottage by the sea, somewhere far enough to the north that I'd get to experience what a real autumn is like. I'd be far enough from the beach that I could have a small patch of land on which to keep chickens, ducks and goats on, but close enough that I could easily walk to and from the shoreline on a well-lit path. There's at least an acre's worth of space between me and my closest neighbors, and the neighborhood has a sidewalk and is full of kind, easy-going people. The town has good public transportation, great libraries and bookstores, and the doctors in the area are sympathetic, understanding, good listeners and will always seek to do right by their patients. I'd be financially stable and able to focus on writing. There would be a handicapped-accessible stable nearby where I could go and ride and possibly even board a horse there if I ever healed enough from losing Sharif to feel able to buy one.

... what pairing do you choose?

Michael/Angel from We're Alive. Of course, that would require the podcast to actually have a fandom period.

I guess it isn't minor compared to small fandom standards, but Thor/Steve should really be more popular. Thor/Steve/Bucky would be even better.

WOW am I a basic bitch. I'm going through my fandoms and realizing I really only ship what's canon or what's the most popular pairing in fandom. That said, I'd like Pharah/Symmetra to be more popular in Overwatch (especially without involving Mercy - I like her separately, thanks).

Satou Sakie and Takahashi Tetsuo from Interviews with Monster Girls.

Can it be an OT3? Because in that case, Swanfirequeen (Swanqueenfire? Idk).

When I was a kid, the hallways in my house were green - sort of dark (for an indoor wall), bright green, like the standard "green" in a Crayola crayon box. The doorframes and trim was dark yellow, like the color of sunflower petals. Apparently the bedroom had been red at one point, but was repainted white by the time I was born. At some point the hallways were also repainted, also white of course.

I've noticed now if you look at any home decor book/magazine, everything is white and gray and beige and very neutral and colorless. Sometimes they'll add like a blue pillow or something for a "pop" of color (I dislike that phrase).

I understand people not wanting dark colors in their house. And red bedroom would be too much for me. I kind of liked the green hallways, though. And I wouldn't want everything to be "neutral" or white. I'd probably use some color, not just a "pop" of it.

How would you all decorate your houses/apartments, if you had unlimited money and control (so no partner/spouse/roommate whose input needs to be considered) over it? Would you want to use a lot of color, or a moderate amount, or do you like neutrals mostly?
