Technically, one second ago is in the past…
Though on more serious note, probably sometime after the development of nuclear energy at least, because my sona is robotic in nature and fission-powered, and while he technically has tech advanced enough to extract and refine the needed fuel himself, it’d be less work if some already existed to trade for or something.
Same, mine is a synth so I’m pretty much limited to when electricity became mainstream
You know how some people say they wouldn’t want to go back in time to where they had less rights? I imagine an anthro version of our society would have experienced more racism (specism?) in their history.
So I really don’t particularly want to go further back than furry 90s when it was totally in to call things gay when you meant bad. I think I’d be able to handle that again with a current day mindset.
If find the right time and place, you could get treated like a god.Edit: I missed the “anthro version of our world” part.
I could image myself in the early days of the wild west exploration but also in a time like 1790 in the age of sail or even earlier. But I also could image myself living in the 60s, 70s or 80s.
I’m still envy if I read about Jack Aubrey (yeah fictional character, but most stories are based on real reports) or from Friedrich Erdmann.
There was a time you could explore the world, ask in a harbour to help unload some vessel and have a few bucks in your hand to spend with ease.
No idea how long I could last as a farewell slutty cheetah before I may catch a illness or meet some quite violent anthos and being pushed over. Otherwise my life for now is quite boring and I feel trapped in bureaucracy of modern life.
Honestly, there are no good eras in the past for queer women, but if I had to choose one it would be when native american tribes eere still around, where they would at least respect me apiritually
Kinda why I’m going with pre-civilization. While we don’t know if neanderthals or the other humanoids recognized anything but biological sex (that I’m aware of anyway) they’re now known to be more compassionate than portrayed when I was growing up. My fursona is a druid, so no coal factories or microplastics is a good trade off for having to hunt your own dinner. The fact that so many bones have been found with near-fatal but somewhat healed injuries also means that those kind cared for the wounded enough, despite them not being able to help hunt or protect the group, that they survived what would cause an animal to starve to death or be easy food over. That right there is a damn sight better than the healthcare where I live already.
Yeah, its more or less the same for me
Probably around 2000 BC, in the height of the bronze age. Kobolds are ascetics anyway, so the lack of modern marvels won’t really affect us much, and since we prefer to live underground, this seems like a pretty ideal time period - decent tools are available, but we’re a long ways off from any kind of industrialization or large-scale mining that would cause all of you surface-dwellers to disrupt our homes.
Sounds like the start of a really good dnd/ttrpg session too :)
Food for thought!
Probably like the eighties at the earliest. I don’t want to live before modern medicine and whatnot. Or is there an unspoken “before you were born” rule in play here?
I’d say the 80s are far enough back.
Oh good, that means I get to buy some Apple and Google stock and mine a dragon’s hoard or three worth of bitcoin well before it’s at the point where its energy usage becomes an environmental problem.
1600s if I could be a pirate captain. Although I would go for maintaining a relatively low profile and a reputation as the captain of a mysterious vessel that shows up out of nowhere, sometimes to “acquire” goods needed by the crew, other times to help those in need, depending on the circumstances. And I’d vet my crew to ensure they hold the same or similar values. Being seen as a deadly and fearsome swashbuckler may make it easier to take what you want, but it also puts a huge target on your back and I’d rather avoid that. The thing with pirates of that era is that while they were criminals, they also generally had a code of conduct, and the main goal of many crews was to simply live free of the various martime empires that were in power at the time. Of course, the whole “women aboard a ship are bad luck” bullshit is definitely going to have to go - I’d be an equal-opportunity recruiter.
Otherwise, I’d go back by exactly 1 minute.
early 2000s would be fun tbhh
Would be one years and a half ago, to undo some bad life decisions, but as a cool fluffy derg ofc :p
Some era with indoor plumbing. Give me hot showers and functional toilets.
The Romans had both :)
