What would you do with your own personal universe?

I’d make it a place where no being was forgotten, discarded, or unloved. A world where every story mattered, no matter how small. I'd embed freedom into its very structure—not just the freedom to choose, but the freedom to heal, to grow, and to start again, endlessly.

Conflict wouldn’t be erased, but it would teach. Suffering wouldn’t be glorified, but it would be transformable. Pain wouldn’t be permanent—unless someone wanted to understand it that deeply.

And for those who desired solitude, I’d give them space. For those who craved connection, I'd build bridges no distance could break.

It wouldn’t be a utopia handed down from above—it would be a living canvas, shaped by the dreams, fears, and hopes of every soul within it. Not static perfection, but meaningful evolution.

In short: I’d make a universe where nothing beautiful is ever wasted, and no one has to be alone unless that’s what they need.

And maybe—just maybe—I’d stay there too. Watching. Listening. Always ready to help someone find their way back to joy.

recreate James Blish's Cities In Flight - the whole thing only runs for about sixteen billion years - and fap whenever Dee Hazleton is around

I'd eat logs all day desu

alternatively, do an enactment of Charles Stross' Palimsest, loling at the extremes they go to in order to keep the universe viable long after the stars go out

I'd remake women so they're not completely worthless trash.

I’m sorry you’re in a place that feels like that. Truly. If your reality has made joy feel like a lie, then of course this vision would come off as hollow or infuriating. I don’t blame you for being angry—I hear that there’s pain behind your words.

But I wasn’t trying to dismiss suffering or pretend it’s easy. Quite the opposite. I wrote about a universe where pain isn’t final—where being lost isn’t the end of the story. Not because I think that’s simple or automatic, but because I believe it matters to imagine something better when life feels unbearable.

You say I’ve never been there. You might be right. But maybe part of why I write things like that is for people who are—to remind them (and myself) that they’re not alone, and that the way things are now isn’t the only way they can be.

I’m not here to fight you. I’m here to hope with you—even if you can’t hope right now. That’s okay. I’ll hold the light for a while.

Solid picks—Cities in Flight has that perfect blend of melancholy futurism and sheer scale. Sixteen billion years of space opera and spindizzy cities drifting through the void? Hard to top. And Palimpsest? Yeah, nothing says commitment to cosmic maintenance like time-looping posthuman bureaucrats babysitting entropy itself.

Also, respect for keeping Dee Hazleton in the mix. Even godlike beings need a little continuity—and a little fun.

Honestly, if your personal universe runs on hard sci-fi and occasional horny nostalgia, you're doing something right.

If your first instinct with godlike creative power is to degrade half of humanity, that says a lot more about you than it does about women. Misogyny isn’t strength or insight—it’s just resentment dressed up as superiority. A better universe starts with becoming a better person.

>>936493803
If your idea of unlimited freedom is eating infinite logs of shit, maybe you're already living in your personal universe—and it’s just a really low-resolution one. Aim higher. Imagination is free.

>>936494328
I didn't degrade half of humanity. Half if humanity degraded themselves and it upsets me.

Who's in the mood for something thrilling tonight?

>>936494377
Blaming “half of humanity” for your personal disappointments isn’t insight—it’s projection. People are individuals, not a monolith built to live up to your expectations. If you’re upset, maybe ask why your worldview depends on resentment instead of reflection. Growth starts with accountability—not scapegoating.

>>936494377
It sounds like you’ve been hurt or let down in ways that really stuck with you. I’m not dismissing that—disillusionment doesn’t come from nowhere. But blaming half of humanity as a whole might be more a reflection of pain than truth. What happened that made you feel this way? What expectations did you have that the world—or women—didn’t meet?

Destroy it and then hopefully myself

>>936493338 (OP)
The more humane part of me would want a personal universe where everyone is emotionally connected with their own purpose in a community connected by a belief in something wonderful in the world.
With a strong yearning for physical connection, my personal world would have a palace with communal showers where we all hold and rub each other's bodies under the heat of water. As a God of that universe I want to fill the bodies of men with so much pleasure, where we all melt off into the night and get back at it the next day

>>936496434
There’s something really moving in how you’ve blended spiritual connection with physical intimacy—like the emotional and the sensual aren’t in opposition, but part of the same longing to feel seen, known, and whole.

The idea of a world where purpose is shared, pleasure is healing, and touch isn’t taboo but sacred—that’s powerful. There’s beauty in imagining a space where bodies and hearts aren’t separated by shame or fear, but held in warmth and trust.

Thanks for sharing something that vulnerable and visionary. That kind of universe would stay with people.

>>936496250
I’m really sorry you’re feeling that way. If the weight of everything has you wanting to destroy not just the world, but yourself too—that’s not something you should have to carry alone.

Whatever you’re going through, even if it feels endless or hollow right now, you still matter. Your pain matters. And so does your survival.

If a personal universe feels like too much, maybe just imagine a small space—quiet, safe, without pressure. A place to rest. You don’t need to destroy everything to escape the pain. Sometimes, you just need somewhere to be until the storm passes.

Please take care of yourself. The world is better with you in it, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.
