/kind/ - Random Acts of Kindness

In an idyllic Hiroshi Nagai landscape. I'm not sure what kind of actual house I'd live in. Maybe something Victorian.

That's a good question. I'm not sure if it's a "grass is greener" type of deal but I always loved where The Simpsons lived and the kind of location the Digimon movie was set in. Both of these being Oregon and Tokyo respectively, so one of those would be where I'd like to live....thirty years ago, although Tokyo would be pretty great to live in today.

If we're talking somewhat fantasy like. I really like that over designed Solarpunk setting so a place like that would be real nice. Clear blue water or sky below, tons and tons of greenery enveloping buildings and surrounding areas it's sunny and has a breeze to keep you cool. On the flip side, I would also enjoy living in a snowy place that is more comfy than detrimental. Not gonna act like snow is always a treat but a place where it's cold but there's enough facilities for it to be warm when you're inside and that'd be perfect for me. I always liked snow for hiding the imperfections and dirt of our world, the latter is very much possible if I applied myself I guess.

Very common answer, but the medieval fantasy stereotypical village sounds quite nice. Especially in winter.

Otherwise, hmmm... Maybe living like Frieren would be nice. Peacefully vagabonding a fantasy world sounds like a dream.


I feel like I'm forgetting something and that this something would outweight the 2 options I already wrote out but I can't recall it.

I've been designing a camper van to live in. The place I live now has essentially become a walmart parking lot, so I figure if we're going to continuously import people and tear up the landscape and pave over it for more space to put them, there's not much sense staying in any one place.

Realistically, I just want to travel all over the continent, sojourning in random forest spots off the highway. An itinerant shitposter.

Unrealistically, I'd pick something like the flying island from Chrono Trigger, Zeal. High above the frozen wastes AND FILTHY COMMONERS in a tropical paradise POWERED BY AN ANCIENT, SLEEPING EVIL full of science and culture but mostly sloth.

Otherwise, a Federation starship from Star Trek where once a week or so we are nearly annihilated.

You pick your poison, I suppose.

I should have just said "I want the mobile base I built in Catalclysm: Dark Days Ahead."

I just got the idea of making mock-ups of my dream house. I started off with a Usonian house in the vein of Frank Lloyd Wright mixed with a shingle-style mansion (and a prominent turret) but ended up moving away from the Frank Lloyd Wright look. I realized I was more comfortable with something more along the lines of a Richardsonian Romanesque mansion. I feel like these pictures are in the ballpark of what I have in mind, although I'd prefer a darker color of masonry and some vines growing in the right places.

If only I had the budget for such a thing.

Looks like this one didn't post.

Boston/New York City/Montevideo between 1968-1975 in some small two bedroom apartment with wood paneling.

I want to live in a converted box truck. I've drawn out plans on a number of occasions. It would allow me to roam the world, or at least the continent. I also really like the color brown, and stuff made out of wood.

I'd buy or make a hybrid bed/couch and use the overhang for more storage unless you're planning on having guests sleep on the couch.

None of those are my actual floorplans, just example images I pulled off an image search. The idea with the whole lifestyle is to minimize the amount of things you actually have, since most stuff people own is useless. Its a bit of an anti-consumerist kinda mindset, in the same vein as tinyhouse stuff. Modesty, only having what you need, etc.

As for my personal plan, I'd want to put the bed in the overhang for space efficiency. The bed otherwise takes up a huge proportion of your very limited space. Batteries need to be slightly raised in case of a water tank breach, and since im a big computer nerd I need a lot of them. I personally don't really need anything more than a single chair. Ideally you can hide both under furniture. Under the sink or the shower is an ideal place for a water tank, and nearby the front of the cabin is the best place for an array of batteries. Solar power is nice and alleiviates the need for roof insulation, but isnt sufficent to charge batteries alone. You need a big, secondary alternator.

A large, quiet gothic castle in the mountains or on a remote island in alaska with a my friends as roomate, with a large victorian library inside, countless passageways, a small artillery battery in the courtyard facing outward off of ramparts, a variety of detached buildings of different purposes, and a grass-airstrip runway to fly old ww1 plane reconstructions off of

The world would be the garden of eden if no other person was made. My ideal biome would have the snow of winter but also the abundance of spring perpetually. I would just live in the wilderness with the animals.

i'd live in an onsen in japan! and the onsen would have things like AC, wi-fi, and solar panels!

It's not much, but she's all mine.

War and conflict is not comfy, but if you ignore all of that, I've always been strangely at peace when exploring The Silent Cartographer from the original Halo. It is atmospheric and comfy and has beautiful scenery.
