Fictional world
-
Of Which fictional world would you love to be a part of?
I've always wanted to go to Hogwarts as a kid and hoped to reach Narnia whenever I opened that huge cupboard at my Granny's place. -
Hogwarts would be amazing! I doubt anyone here would know it but I always wanted to join the Galaxy Rangers as a kid. These days it would be Dr Who :)
-
@bushmurry I've never heard of that before but the name sounded cool.. Galaxy rangers! Sounds similar to power rangers no?
-
@_riddle You can watch episodes or just the intro on Youtube... more like Firefly being a space/western
-
Game of thrones..
As long as I get to be in Dorne. -
@bushmurry i'll watch them sometime
-
@lucifer_ GOT eh? Not a big fan but thats a pretty dangerous world no?
-
@_riddle Every world is.
-
@lucifer_ lol..true too !😂
-
@lucifer_ All things considered, in the perspective of a commoner, the got universe is nothing but a medieval kingdom with many conflicting kingdoms at war with each other. Magic and other fantasy stuff usually don't matter much in the lives of a common people. So unless you get to be born as a highborn, life would be either shitty or really dangerous.
-
@sir-devil Name a fictional universe in which low-borns have a good life?
-
@lucifer_ Let's take Harry Potter as an example. In it, if you are able to be born as a wizard, no matter your birth you would be presented the same opportunity but although it has a higher chance than being born as a highborn, being born as a wizard still could be considered as being privileged.
Some animes does a better job at power dynamics. Ex: Hunter x Hunter.
I am still not quite knowledgeable with these things and hence, I must research further on this topic, before saying more. -
@sir-devil A wizard is not a commoner.
Commoner is a person who dies on london bridge when voldemorts lackeys attack.
And if we are adding a little privilege you get to fight in a lot of wars in westeros, if you are even a little good with sword you kill quite a few people, and killing quite a few people or the one right person = Knighthood!!! -
@sir-devil A commoner might have a good life in The Twilight universe.
The ware-wolves don't attack humans, and vampires attack animals.
But I am not no sure anyone would choose Twilight universe. -
Vikings, i like to be like the real Ragnar having good time with my fellow vikings, floki, my brother Rollo and my son Bjorn iron side, with my wife lagertha.
-
@lucifer_ I must accept that wizards are not commoners and that's why I said that being born a wizard is being privileged.
In GOT, a king/lord awarding knighthood to a commoner is extremely unusual.
If you are good with the sword and I mean extremely good with the sword, there is a chance for you to kill or save someone extremely important and even that is off battle. Your talent would also become far less useless if you are in the middle of a battle, which is filled with backstabbing and surprise attack. No matter your skill, in the case of a good backstabbing, there is a little chance for you to survive. Remeber Rhaegar Targarean was hailed as being the best at the sword but he died due to a backstab. -
@sir-devil rhaegar targaryen this dude was perfect in sword fighting, i wonder why he died
-
@sir-devil okay good is also enough.
almost every army of westeros is filled with peasants or boys who have never held a sword. Only Lannister and Tarly have professional training for their armies. It doesn't matter if you are a wizard or a anybody in a war, there is a very high chance you die most of the times with a backstabbing.
Stannis got Davos Seaworth knighhood because he got him some food on time.
Hugh of vale was knighted because he poisoned Jon Arryn.
Bronn of the blackwater got knighhood because he fired a arrow at a right place.
If you get lucky for a moment in any universe you end up in a pretty good post. -
@ragnar-lothbrok A Warhammer hit with the fury of GODS broke his armoured Breastplate and probably crushed his lungs. He died honorably.
-
@lucifer_ that's pretty valid point too. Luck, everything comes down to it.
