Worst fictional universes to live in

[philstar22]

Which fictional universes do you think it would be the worst to live in?



As fun as Dune is, it would be a pretty terrible universe to live in, IMO. Obviously Warhammer universe (either fantasy or 40k) would suck to live in. And I honestly think the Star Wars universe would be terrible for ordinary people.

Any kind of Zombie apocalypse. I'm a lazy fuck and would not survive two minutes, so I would probably just die from my own anxiety attack before an actual zombie finds me.

Warhammer Fantasy would be bad but wayyyyyyy more livable than 40K. 40K would be so awful. 40K would be the actual worst (outside of fictional universes that are basically just hell).

I don't think Star Wars would be particularly bad for ordinary people though. Like, it's still a cool science fiction world at the end of the day and most people in the galaxy are just living their lives.

The Handmaid's Tale.

I know that everything in the book has happened somewhere at some time, but it's the biggest nightmare universe*, IMO. I'm pretty lazy and not much of a rebel, but I'd be molotoving some cocktails in that world.

*I mean besides "I Have No Mouth And I Cannot Scream," obviously.

Westeros. While I would love to visit some of the other continents/islands on "Planetos," Westeros is a dumpster fire.

Dungeons and Dragons. Like unless I'm some powerful player class(statistically unlikely) I'd just be a regular person and in a world of giant monsters and magic? I'd be fucking screwed. Much as I love the setting I'd be dead so fast.

And any given zombie setting, I'd die in the first 5 mins but beyond that it's not even a world I'd want to live in if it can't be fixed. Everything regressing back beyond what the average modern person can do is not going to end well, plus the constant fight for survival would get exhausting to do long term. People in zombie movies have way too much drive to stay alive imo.

Re: Worst fictional universes to live in

[(Anonymous)]

Dishonored. After a lifetime of drudgery and assault, I'd probably be purposefully turned into a zombie that gets eaten by rats for the entertainment of the rich. That world is fucking BLEAK.

Is it cheating to say Jane Austin works? If you are not a middle class plucky heroine or brooding middle class gentleman, then your life is gonna hell.

Pern. The planet itself looks great. I love the geography of it, all those mountains and seas and islands. But, thanks to Thread, being beholden (hah) to feudal lords and fire-breathing dragons, with unpredictable rapey sexual cycles, and rampant world-wide misogyny? No thanks.

Final Fantasy 7

The world is mostly controlled by a government that builds super soldiers on the reg and is up to super secret experimentation that creates monsters. The reactors it builds are sucking the soul of the planet up. Occasionally there's rumours that the hero from the war is back from the dead and you see men in black cloaks shuffling around town.

An unspecified amount of time later, a meteor is hurtling towards the planet and your ass is only saved by the selfless sacrifice of the last surviving member of an ancient race that you will never know about.

Re: Worst fictional universes to live in

A bunch of horror universes, the ones that obviously have something supernatural going on that the killer is much stronger and much, much more resilient than the typical person - I do not want to dream about a dead serial killer who can off me while I sleep; I don't want to think about being bitten by something on the moors, causing a horrifying transformation that makes me indiscriminately kill others; I really don't want Death stalking me to kill me in a weird and gross way if I somehow disrupt its plan; etc.

NC-17 vs Less Explicit Fics

[(Anonymous)]

Inspired by #6 - for anyone who reads fanfics: do you read more or less Explicit fics than anything rated mature and under? Or would you say you read about the same amount of either?

Re: NC-17 vs Less Explicit Fics

[(Anonymous)]

Because I read more shipping fics than gen, I'd say I definitely read more fics rated mature and above. That being said, if the summary is interesting enough (especially with a Hurt/Comfort tag) then I'll read it no matter what the rating is.

Re: NC-17 vs Less Explicit Fics

[(Anonymous)]

I don't really check the tag and will read anything with a good premise? I do prefer ship fics to gen, though.

Exception is, of course, if I'm in the mood to read some filthy kink, but most of my fic kinks are things like "sharing a bed" and that can be suggestive without being really explicit.

Re: NC-17 vs Less Explicit Fics

[philstar22]

These days I mostly read explicit stuff. Mostly because I don't have time for longer fics.

Re: NC-17 vs Less Explicit Fics

[beed]

i'm an explicit hoe all the way honestly (writing AND reading them). it's not for everyone and that's fine, but i enjoy the break in boring life with spicy stories. i'm trying to think of the last time i honestly clicked on a fic that didn't have the explicit rating... oops lol

Re: NC-17 vs Less Explicit Fics

[(Anonymous)]

I read more ship fics than gen, and more mature or explicit than not.

IDK. I don't think it has to be the whole point of a fic. But if it's a shippy fic, the explicit, mature part of the relationship is usually one of the things I want to read about so I like seeing that.

Re: NC-17 vs Less Explicit Fics

[(Anonymous)]

I primarily read shipping fic so I read every raiting. When I'm horny I'll read more E rated fic because I'm in the mood for it, but outside of that I'm reading anything for my chosen ship regardless of raiting.

Re: NC-17 vs Less Explicit Fics

[kaijinscendre]

Based on what I have bookmarked on Ao3:

Explicit - 762
Teen - 506
Mature - 360
General - 164
Not Rated - 60

Granted, I don't bookmark everything but I think that is a pretty good sample.

Secrets you don't want to make...

[(Anonymous)]

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and while I'm definitely not the world's greatest expert at secret design, I'll try my best.

Just to clarify - it's my intention to make all the secrets left in this thread, so even if they're not marked claimed, they will be made. I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker

P.S. Please don't worry if you've submitted a secret and it hasn't been posted yet. I usually post these threads before running out of the previous batch of secrets to get a head start on the next batch.

What game are you playing lately?

[(Anonymous)]

I just bought Horizon Zero Dawn (finally caught it on sale on Steam!) and I'm only just starting but I really like it so far.

Also still playing Vampire Survivors when I want to just relax and zone for a bit.

[(Anonymous)]

My garden cat* has been missing since Super Bowl Sunday. There were a couple of big parties that day and I think he got spooked and ran off. I looked around the neighborhood for him a couple of times but didn't see him. I miss him.


*A semi feral cat that isn't an indoor one. He wasn't technically mine, either, he was a stray I'd been feeding off and on.

Housing dilemma

[(Anonymous)]

Hey there FS. I am going to be buying a house, which is exciting! But also stressful, and involves hard decisions.

Anyway, I have a grand dilemma before me, and I need some help working through it. In your opinion, what's better: to buy a fixer upper with a lot of land, or a newly (and nicely!) renovated house with very little land? We will wind up spending about the same amount of money either way (and as a note, I've used the high end of each necessary renovation when estimating the cost of fixing the land-ful house).

On another note, if we take the land-less house, it's likely we won't be there permanently. If we take the land-ful one, we're unlikely to move again.

Vent

I’m allergic to dairy and a bunch of other stuff. My allergic reactions are delayed so I can’t always tell what caused them. Tonight I figured out that my last three anaphylactic reactions were from my oat milk. The manufacturer recently switched to sharing production lines with their dairy products and they made the Kosher symbol really small. I’ve been using it for years without any problems until last month. I’m checking online for all the major brands and they all have the same “DE” kosher mark :( I feel so defeated. Homemade oat or nut milk is ok for some stuff I guess, but not things like cereal or gravies and it’s gross for drinking.
