Fictional Worlds You Definitely Want to Live In

Written by Shae Rufe

Yesterday, I did a blog about creatures we wouldn't want to be real, and I've done a series about world we wouldn't want to live in, but what about places we would actually want to live in? There's a ton of worlds out there thanks to the brilliant minds of creative writers, directors, illustrators, and so on, so let's take just a minute and revel in the places we totally want to live in. And no, no matter how you spin it, nobody wants to live in Panem. Sorry Hunger Games fans, that place is terrible, and so is the Supernatural Verse. Also, keep in mind I'm totally going to put my own little Shae spin on these. Because I'm Shae.

First, let's take a moment and appreciate everything that is Hobbit culture. The Shire, after the events of the Trilogy seems like the perfect place to be. Before you go all 'but Elves are where it's at.' You're right, except for their lack of dedication to food. Hobbits literally eat. All the time. They make every food ever and they appreciate food. Which I appreciate. Their pantries are epic, and they also seem to not be all 'let's hang out.' No. Let's not hang out. Let's eat food and nap and just text each other.
 
The world of Pokémon also seems pretty spectacular. You have animals that can do amazing things, that you totally make fight each other for tournaments and stuff. That being said, there are other professions that don't involve a dogfighting society analogy. Imagine working alongside Pokémon, how cool would that be? Me and Mew, we is tight! But really, just being able to study these creatures would be utterly fantastic. Who wouldn't want to learn about Pikachu first hand? Or help a Charmander? You know you really want one. We all want one. The world of Pokémon would be a pretty exciting world to live in.
 
I bet you are expecting something Batman related here. You're half right, just this time. The magical world of Batman doesn't sound fun to live in no matter how you spin it. But the world of Lego? Who watched The Lego Movie and thought 'yes!' Because I did. It's like all your childhood dreams come true! It's a fantastic place to be and I, for one, am all down to chill with Lego Batman and Gandalf. The whole Lego world in The Lego Movie is so fantastical! Okay, maybe post President Business. Nobody needs to live through that reign of horror!
