Lord of the Rings, but fuck Gondor… I’ll be chilling in the Shire living like fucking king.
Pokemon sounds pretty nice, they even have free healthcare in the american stand-in
Everything goes dark. You open your eyes. You are standing on a bridge. A warm salty breeze is in the air. Birds fly over. A fish splashes in the water. You could go anywhere, do anything, a whole new world is open to you. But you stay put for now and enjoy this peaceful bridge.
A child runs by. She avoids making eye contact and runs behind you. Then another, and another. “Kids these days”, you think, “always in a hurry.” Another child approaches, before he can slip by, you turn, and make eye contact. It’s on!
You each bring out your Pokémon and oh god, oh god, oh god, it’s god. The unfathomable, immortal deity who shaped the entire world, and it is taking orders from a child! and you have… a magikarp.
Before you can even speak, a blast of energy strikes your fish, killing it instantly. You are knocked back, stunned. The child frisks your pockets and takes your wallet. Everything goes dark. You open your eyes. You are standing on a bridge. A warm salty breeze is in the air…
I Have No Meowth, and I Must Scream
Only for pets, not for humans
Does that count as a magical world? There’s some sci-fi technology in it and the Pokémon seem to be able to manipulate some forces a bit mysteriously but they seem more like exaggerrated fantasy versions of real life animals. Seems like magic usually involves a bit more explicit reference to “magic” which is usually a singular force responsible for many feats very strongly linked to will of individuals.
Not something from an anime because by season 4, there’s like a dozen people that can destroy a small town with one move. By season 8, they’re doing planets.
But at the same time, if you train very hard you’ll be able to do that too. That’s how it usually goes for characters without magical abilities.
Train for years and you too can hold water inside an upside down glass.
A quick reminder that Muten Roshi lived through the entirety of Dragon Ball (bar the couple times literally everyone in the planet died, temporarily)
I appreciate the bracketed comment and double down on my original statement lol
In the Harry Potter universe non magical people live blissfully unaware of magical people and are pretty much left to our own affairs with little to no intervention or malicious actions by the magical, the magical even setup an entire ministry dedicated to maintaining that status quo. It’s probably the most boring and unimaginative choice but it sounds like the one in which I could live with the greatest ease and safety.
Hard disagree. Muggles are kept shrouded in ignorance, but they’re still fairly routinely terrorized by dark wizards and magical beasts. The Ministry makes an effort, but fails when the going gets tough.
Hey you, you’re finally awake…
Hope the console commands will work for you…
Do innate powers count as magic? Because if they do, living in Tamriel would suck… unless you happen to be born a god, of course.
I’d just go be a bard in a tavern. Drink, sing and play instruments.
Don’t tour around Helgen
I think Ragnar the Red was kind of a pig, so really just don’t be a pig.
Earthsea seems pretty chill. Especially Ged.
Roshar. With all the spren and fabrials, I could still have a decent time.
Interesting choice. As much as I love the setting, I couldn’t see myself living in a place that has hurricanes on a weekly basis.
I’m an expert on one-armed Herdazian jokes. ‘Lopen,’ my mother always says, ‘you must learn these to laugh before others do. Then you steal the laughter from them, and have it all for yourself.’ She is a very wise woman.
Really? I feel like Scadrial is the better choice here. Though I haven’t finished the Lost Metal yet, so something crazy may happen at the end that makes me reconsider this lol.
Azeroth, World of Warcraft. Rogues and warriors kick ass, and are still very powerful, even without magic.
Ooo, if you aren’t magical when you get there. There is an infinite number of things that will make you. But more importantly I want to live in a place that silly.
Star wars. Apparently anyone can learn to be a
magic userjedi if they try hard enough. But even if that isn’t an option, spaceships are also fun.Objection! Evidence: everything pre-Didney.
What counts as “magic”, exactly? E.g. the world of BLEACH has 3 wholy distinct sources of supernatural power, only one of which looks like traditional, wizards & witches magic. Is vampirism magic? What about superstrength in Norse mythology?
I think this comment did a good job of explaining it
Magic is just unexplained science
Princess Bubblegum?
Wakfu’s World of Twelve. I wouldn’t mind being an ecaflip or pandawa or even just an ouginak but knowing me I’d just end up as something lame like a Iop or Enutrof or some other boring class.
