Would You Rather...?
-
I'm going to ask a new Would You Rather to set this off again unless you want to take the reins @merlin? If so, ignore mine.
Would you rather live in the Star Wars or the Star Trek universe? Bonus points if you tell me why.
-
No I want to play. I’d choose Star Wars universe because I love cantina music and space wizards. Plus I dont think I would live past my red shirt phase!
Question:
Would you rather live in the Harry Potter universe or the Dresden files universe?
-
So I looked up the Dresden files, which I'm totally gonna grab from the library, but I still have to go with the nostalgia of Harry Potter. I'm so terribly disappointed in JK Rowling and I wish it wasn't so hard to let go of everything I loved about Harry Potter growing up. All I want to do is go to Hogwarts, where's that damn letter.
Would you rather live in a world that was at constant war with the aquatic people that dwell within the oceans or a world with sentient vegetation inhabited by technologically advanced tribes?
-
When I was a child growing up in Hawaii, I got bit by a tiny pig fish. Ever since that day I have plotted my revenge. Cancel the rescue party, no one is finding Nemo today. Prepare for sea world war 3.

Would you rather make a deal with an obviously evil djinn or a talking yorkie who may not have magical powers but promises he will do his very best. Bonus if you tell me your wish -
But pig fish are so cute!

I want the Yorkie. He would be the bestest boi and even if it didn't come true, he would still be loved forever.
I would wish for a best friend for my daughter. She is only 9, but she hasn't met her person yet. That one person who gets you through thick and thin, who doesn't need to see you all the time, but when they do it's like no time has passed. The one who cries with you and laughs and is your everything. She needs that friend and I would ask for a good one. I hope bestest boi delivers, but maybe he can help anyway.
Would you rather be a stablehand in a castle devoted to training the last remaining rideable dragons or a dryad of the forgotten forest protecting your grove from the ever-encroaching desert?
Tell me why!
-
@mianngu I'd go with the dryad. It sounds like a beautiful if tragic existence. I think there's something hauntingly enchanting about fighting back against what seems like futility and being a nature spirit in the process sounds amazing.
You have a curse that acts up randomly for a continuous 24 hours every week! Would you choose to be uncontrollably addicted to consuming any form of soap, despite the taste, or to only hear everyone else around doing convincing Gilbert Gottfried comedy routines, despite whatever they're actually saying to you?
-
Weirdly enough I think I would go with Gilbert Gottfried comedy routines. This might come from my ability to always find humor despite the circumstances lol.
Would you rather always be too hot, causing paper to combust, plastic to begin melting, and metal to heat, or always be damp, causing paper to get soggy and tear, fabric to be moist if not water logged, and every other surface to be slick?
-
@Ezra Definitely always be damp. I'm not about to start forest fires just by existing. Also, there's types of clothing that would make living/using technology possible.
There's something to be said about the scientific implications of each: do I need to eat enough calories for my body to generate that level of heat and otherwise I'll die? Otherwise, it's creating energy out of nowhere and I might help with some sort of science breakthrough. Same with hydration/generation of that dampness. If it means creating matter without a particle accelerator, then that's awesome.
If I do have to balance it out with eating/drinking, the eating sounds more fun, but drinking sounds like it would be less time-consuming considering how damp I'd be vs how much heat I'd be generating.
Would you rather have to turn into a domestic animal of your choice or wild animal of your choice? (Also what would your choice be?)
-
@Mariano Wild animal of Mt choice and wolves, because I'm fascinated by their social structure.
Would you rather be Jiminy Cricket or the Fairy Godmother?
-
Fairy god mother all day! I’d rather deal with a clumsy shoe losing princess than a wooden puppet with an identity crisis.
——————————-
Would you have the ability vomit spiders at your enemies or the ability to call forth a swarm of biting flies to engulf your person and act as a protective cloud
-
@merlin
The vomiting spiders sound weird and creepy, essentially are they crawling up your throat or just appearing in your mouth?
To where it's cool, but would try not to vomit..vomiting... may be added challenge when tempted and feel living spiders in your mouth trying to escape.
For a swarm of biting flies would be interesting to summon, but would you just be summoning them to eat yourself? Especially if they are biting flies surrounding you.
I dislike crawly things, but morbid curiosity makes me choose the spider vomit, hopefully it's useful or I never vomit.Question: would you rather be a portal hopper and need to change your world every week, or live as an immortal being (elves or vampires)?
-
I would choose immortal, because in sense you would also eventually live a life as a portal jumper with more connections. You can’t live for eternity in the same place without eventually being discovered. Every ten years or da you would have to restart your life. Become a new person with a new name in a new place.
Leading to my next question
Would you rather be a vampire, forced to live in the shadows and hunt prey at night never to see the light of day or enjoy the pleasures of the living again or as a werewolf, enjoying a mortal life while having to live with a beast of which you have no control of.
