Living Forever Is Awesome	comment	Immortality is no picnic: living to see all your childhood friends and great grandchildren die, having to drift from place to place or be chased out of town as a witch, needing to eventually deal with the issue of finding a new planet when the Sun turns into a red giant and immolates the Earth, and having to crawl across the Sahara for three weeks without food or water with a broken leg because you can't die. But hey! You're alive! And you know what? Life is awesome! Want to learn to speak Swahili and six other languages? You have the time! Care to take up bungee jumping? No fear! Literally, your pain and threat reflexes will be burned out by the second century. Speaking of: all that stuff about eternity being boring? Have you seen the last one hundred years? It was pretty eventful. The future sure isn't slowing down either. If you still get bored, you can jump to another planet (you'll be there for the development of Faster-Than-Light Travel after all) or even to another dimension. Money can come and go, but will mostly come since you have an infinite time horizon over which to accumulate wealth and make investments, and you'll always be around to enjoy it! As for the ones you'll love and lose — well, "Kiss today goodbye, and point me towards tomorrow." Try not to forget your old friends, but don't let that shut you out from the amazing people you can and will meet! There are also cases in which the drawback of the loved ones dying is removed by them becoming immortal as well. There can even be a Society of Immortals where even your neighbors and coworkers live forever. Besides, in some universes, death is more boring than life could ever be, or is too terrifying to consider. Basically, rather than Sour Grapes griping, the immortal character decides to see the upside of immortality and enjoys it. It may not be a bed of roses, but life can be good. Because really, how can life ever get boring if it's always changing? This trope is the goal of the Immortality Seeker. See also Eternal Love, which may be a contributing factor to enjoying immortality. Contrast Who Wants to Live Forever? and Living Forever is No Big Deal. Rarely overlaps with Immortality Immorality (even though the "immoral" character usually expects that living forever will be awesome), because the focus is generally on the immoral things the characters do to prolong their immortality rather than the experience of it.

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_10303525	comment	The immortal main cast of Mary Shelley's Frankenhole, all seem to enjoy their immortality. However, there was an episode featuring the Wolfman, who desperately wanted to die. Since he can only be killed by a silver bullet, and that silver bullet must be fired by a lover in order for the death to be permanent, dying was nigh impossible. The episode ends with him not only still alive, but it turns out he brought the curse upon himself, by going back in time, trying to kill himself. Only to turn into a werewolf by the full moon and bite himself.

Apparently elves were immortal until humans showed up in Thedas (leading to the elvish slur for humans, "Shemlen," which translates to "quick children"). The Masked Empire reveals that it was only the upper class elves who were immortal, and that elves were mistreating each other long before humans arrived.

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_1bd1ddf2	comment	Frieren: Beyond Journey's End : The opening theme, "YUUSHA" expresses the sentiment that, while immortality can make parting with loved ones painful, and the relentless passage of time can erase the traces of precious moments, it's not all bad. The immortal can ensure that the world doesn't forget the dearly departed or their legacy, carrying the memories in their heart, while going on to make new friends and go on new adventures. In the series itself, it would seem that long-lived races don't feel the crush of time as heavily as others; Frieren makes plans for 50 years hence as easily as next week.

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_1bdeba5a	comment	X-Men: Cameron Hodge is a dark version of this trope. He founded an anti-mutant organization targeting Warren Worthington, aka Angel, and his current team, X-Factor. As part of his preparations, Hodge made a deal with the demon N'Asrith for immortality. Unfortunately by that point Angel had become Archangel and he cut Hodge's head off in short order. As per the deal, Hodge survived... as a disembodied head. Hodge returned later with a cyborg body during the X-Tinction Agenda, only to end up as a disembodied head buried under a mountain of rubble. He returned a third time as part of the techno-organic Phalanx, at which point the authors had forgotten about his immortality and supposedly killed him off, only for him to return again and finally get Killed Off for Real (maybe) during the Second Coming crossover. While he suffers many pitfalls of immortality, he never laments his condition — instead, he throws it back in the X-Men's faces. He's so insane with hatred that being a buried head is worth it if he can hurt just one mutant.

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_2372359	comment	For the most part, the sorcerers of The Belgariad seem perfectly content with eternal life. This is in part because they keep very, very busy. (One, Senji, doesn't even notice he's immortal until he takes a break from trying to turn lead into gold and realizes several centuries have passed.) Not all of them were so content. Of course, those ones are not around anymore. And those who hated their life usually had another reason than immortality to hate it. For one, it was the horrors of war.

I've preached hellfire and harmony. I've said words profane and holy. I've been people I didn't like, and people I wish I could be again. But that's life, Emma. Life isn't static, it isn't frozen. Life doesn't stand still. It changes, and it changes us. This is just another step."

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_247422c7	comment	Honor Harrington: It's not quite living forever, but pretty much everyone agrees that Prolong, an anti-aging treatment which extends the active human life to around three centuries, is pretty damn awesome. Amongst other things it lets you spend fifty or so years in a Naval career and still have over two centuries left to do other things if so desired. In particular, humans who have bonded to treecats cheer the development of Prolong, as it removed the tragic aspect of the bond, which saw the long-lived 'cats having to sacrifice a century or more of lifespan (because they were almost always Driven to Suicide when the bond was inevitably severed by the human bondmate's death).

It helps that these are presumably widely available treatments, meaning everyone lives forever and the worst aspect of Who Wants to Live Forever?, the losing people you love, is not a problem. Interestingly, the novelizations claim that the treatments are only available to the higher-ups. This handwaves why the faction leaders are still alive after centuries of rule.

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_49ad83ee	comment	In World of Warcraft: The High Elves (by way of the Well of Eternity) and one of their descendent branches, the Night Elves (by way of the World Tree), were contentedly immortal for well over 10,000 years (not including the whole War of the Ancients thing). Many Night Elves were rather sad to lose their immortality due to the events of Warcraft 3, and though it was a necessary sacrifice World of Warcraft opens with the Night Elves trying to regain their immortality through the creation of a new World Tree (the attempt does not go as planned). Sylvanas Windrunner used to be all Who Wants to Live Forever?, but after getting a taste of The Nothing After Death all evil Undead are doomed to visit when their undeath ends, she's decided that an unending undead existence isn't that bad in comparison.

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_49ff762	comment	In Torchwood, Captain Jack Harkness in general. Sure, he has ocasional angst over it, but considering his average deaths per episode count, he sure is getting his money's worth out of the deal. Also, more time to go hit on people. Inverted in Torchwood: Miracle Day, where (almost) everyone on Earth becomes unable to die. Even suicide bombers are still alive, despite being charred beyond recognition. Also, while people stop dying, no one stops aging. Inversely, Jack loses his immortality and has the time of his (very long) life, although now he insists on using condoms.

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_741491bd	comment	Highlander: Despite being the Trope Namer for Who Wants to Live Forever?, it counts here too. Even after thousands of years immortals are willing to kill each other to preserve their own immortality. That may be the system but they could always opt out by dying, retiring on holy ground, or killing all the other immortals. Some immortals - namely the good guys - are shown balancing the loneliness of immortality by enjoying life to the fullest and using their immortality to develop new pastimes and experience the world like no humans can. For example, Methos - the oldest immortal - has written a journal chronicling most of his life and experiences (at least some of it -he is older than writing, so some stuff went undocumented). The episode "Stone of Scone" shows this very well. The Kurgan, the Big Bad of the first movie, relishes his immortality... because he's a gleeful hedonist with no empathy for mortals. In the expanded lore, the Kurgan fought for several barbarian peoples over the centuries (the Vandals, the Visigoths, the Vikings, the Mongols and the Russian Cossacks, to name a few) to sate his lust for Rape, Pillage, and Burn.

Hilariously he uses rum as his criterion and tries to figure out whether a mortal lifetime with an unlimited access to rum means more or less rum than an immortal existence with access to rum once every ten years. Ultimately, all the opportunities Jack has come across that could render him immortal have come at too high a price for him to accept. If he could find one that didn't require a Human Sacrifice or some other kind of undesirable commitment, he'd probably go for it. Davy Jones himself certainly enjoys his eternal dominion over the ocean and he sells this idea (or, more appropriately, that death is worse) to new recruits. One can presume he originally took up his post on the Flying Dutchman hoping for Eternal Love with Calypso.

Elves are an immortal species and so their culture developed around an eternal lifespan. Young elves are encouraged to find an Eternal Hobby, something that will keep them busy and fulfilled throughout the years. Without such a hobby, they risk going insane.

But it's a bit different from standard immortality since he's living the same day over and over which obviously has different advantages and drawbacks. He begins with hedonistic excess, falls into despair as nothing he does means anything, and finally finds peace in deciding to be the best version of himself he can.

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Most of the Daedra in the series, particularly the Daedric Princes, rather enjoy their Complete Immortality. A good example is Sanguine, who basically just lives to have fun. His quest in Skyrim could be described as an Elder Scrolls version of The Hangover or Dude, Where's My Car?. That said, the Daedra's inability to die makes it impossible for them to truly understand how mortals think - mortals live finite lives and face constant reminders of this, and their ability to simply accept this and continue existing without succumbing to despair is something no Daedra can comprehend. The series has a number of other "immortal" beings to which this trope frequently applies, including dragons, vampires, liches, and various mortals who are attempting/have attempted to ascend to godhood (with varying levels of success). Based on those who talk or write about their immortality, most acknowledge some of the downsides (such as the Dunmeri Tribunal deity Vivec) but nearly all will fight to keep their immortality.

Goetia wants to serve humanity, and believes that the cruelest thing for humans to suffer is the fact that they die. Unfortunately, Goetia is very guilty of Condescending Compassion and Evil Cannot Comprehend Good. He isn't really capable of understanding human emotions or happiness, and thinks on a timescale measured in eons. Consequently, he doesn't understand why humans would be happy to live at all if they're just going to die, and escalates the idea from "it would be nice if things lasted forever" to "anything that doesn't last forever is meaningless", and escalates further to "since humanity can't last forever, there's nothing wrong with me destroying it so I can recreate humans as an immortal race."

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_a6543322	comment	Many characters in the Touhou Project series are happy with their immortality. Yuyuko sacrificed her body to seal an Eldritch Abomination soul-sucking cherry tree, and her ghost was appointed ruler of the Netherworld, effectively removing her from the cycle of life and death. She now lives quietly whenever she isn't causing trouble to sate her boredom. Although her canonical Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass nature makes it hard to tell for sure, she seems to generally enjoy her eternal un-life, especially when it comes to teasing her overly-earnest subordinate, Youmu. Eiki and Komachi, respectively as judge of the dead and ferrywoman of the equivalent of the River Styx, never really seem to complain about "outliving" everyone they know, but then, being Anthropomorphic Personifications of death and rebirth, and the knowledge of how the afterlife works may give them a radically different perspective on the whole thing. Kaguya and (probably) Eirin, seem to be enjoying immortality quite a bit. Kaguya seems to mostly suffer from boredom, but has had Eirin taking care of her essentially her whole life. She also has mortal, if extremely long-lived servants, but she seems not to care about them to the point of calling any and all of them "Inaba", rather than learning their names. Fairies may have the most amusing of all immortalities — they are functionally immortal as long as the force of nature that they represent still exists. They, however, are all permanently child-like, and spend all eternity playing pranks on one another, don't bother with notions like owning any property they don't wear on their backs (if clothing doesn't just magically appear on them in the first place, it's not like they would manufacture all the frilly dresses they wear) not really understanding the difference between yesterday and ten thousand years ago. To be specific, they have Type IV immortality: they simply regenerate after being killed. We could've made this list so much shorter simply by stating that the only character who isn't of the opinion that immortality is awesome is Fujiwara no Mokou, whose lifestory goes something like this: Father got disgraced by above mentioned immortal Kaguya, Mokou drank the Hourai elixir in a key moment of weakness, got ostracised when people eventually noticed her unchanging appearance, became a hermit and lived alone for quite some time, went absolutely Ax-Crazy for two-hundred years and proceeded with killing anyone and anything that came in her way, went into a bit of a decline and lived in an apathetic depression for a few hundred years, finally found her way to Gensokyo where she found Kaguya again, ignited a rivalry, using her father's humiliation as an excuse, and has since then spent the time locked in an eternal circle of revenge murders with her arch-enemy. Even so, eventually she started growing into the trope's mindset by the time of Urban Legend in Limbo, where she met some of Gensokyo's other immortals and villain of the week Sumireko, and decided having friends (immortals or not) ain't so bad after all.

The plot revolves around some scientists In a Worldâ€¦ where an immensely powerful dragon forces the people to sacrifice senior citizens for it to eat. Long thought invincible, these scientists manage to synthesize a compound sharp enough to pierce dragon scales. The fable documents their quest to persuade the people to help them craft an anti-dragon missile, who firmly believe that death at the hands of the dragon is natural and good. Due to social norms only existing to serve the people, claiming that eliminating death will cause unforseen problems is always Skewed Priorities. The story pushes the idea that we could potentially cure aging within the next generation if we invested our idealism into the urgency.

Granted, it's not so much that Living Forever Is Awesome but rather that dying is much much worse. If Eldar are lucky they will have their souls trapped in crystals for all eternity. Otherwise, they become the playthings of the Chaos god Slaanesh. This trope fits the Dark Eldar even more. They can achieve immortality by drinking the souls of lesser races (read that as "anyone who isn't a Dark Eldar"), and they get to live a life of fighting, torture, sex, drugs and cruelty, which is extremely fun to them. Of course, they're Eldar too, so there's also the Chaos god Slaanesh out to get their souls when they kick the bucket and can't be brought back. For this reason, the Dark Elder cheat death all the time by transferring their souls to a new body. This trope fits Orks. They're like lobsters; they never die from old age, they just keep growing bigger and stronger until something kills them. The largest and oldest Orks are the size of Imperial Dreadnoughts and just as powerful, while also having lived for hundreds if not thousands of years and probably seen just as many battles. Of course, very few will actually reach that state due to the incredibly brutal and violent nature of their existences, although being Orks, they don't really mind. Even humans fit to some extent. There are a variety of methods to allow humans greatly extended lives, from Longevity Treatment to being a genetically engineered supersoldier. Despite the constant warfare, alien invasions and eldritch abominations, the vast majority of those mentioned in stories appear more than happy to live as long as possible.

He celebrated by drinking seven barrels of mead and boasting that he was the greatest warrior to have ever lived. For this the Chaos Gods cursed him with immortality and told him "Go prove it." Ever the Blood Knight, Wulfrik thinks this is a really lame idea for a curse.

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_c4282b71	comment	My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic has Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, 1,000+-year-old Winged Unicorns who govern the sun and moon as well as the entire country. They refer to centuries ago as if it were yesterday but never complain about it. Celestia is especially well-adjusted considering everything she's been through. There is also Discord, a draconequus Reality Warper with complete control over chaos magic, who rather enjoys being around to cause as much mischief and mayhem as possible. Of course, then he undergoes some serious character development, so the mischief and mayhem lessen but never fade completely. If the comics of Generation 5 are canon, then he lives for thousands more years working to honor the friends he made in the time of Generation 4 (even though he gets it wrong).

The Face of Boe is one of the oldest creatures in the universe during the first three series of the revival, and he gives off this "serene old sage" vibe. He's respected as such by everyone around him. The Master has utilized numerous means aside from regeneration to extend his life. Other than the constant sounds of drums in his head, he truly enjoys Time Lord longevity.

Seventy-two years later, he's still using the fact that he can bleed in reverse as a party trick. Isaac and Miria freaked out a little bit when they figured it out seventy years later, but adjusted quickly and had a great time, for example, being Dollars.

Likewise, the members of the Quileute tribe that are blessed with spirit wolves rapidly age to probably about their early twenties and then stop aging until they choose to willingly give up their ability to transform by remaining human for a certain amount of time. Jacob is lucky enough to have imprinted on the half-vampire Renesmee, who likewise ages rapidly before abruptly stopping somewhere around age 16. While the future is never confirmed, it can be assumed that Jacob probably opted to keep his wolf form for as long as possible.

Tarzan has a very upbeat, "seize the day" mindset and is completely unbothered by the consequences of his immortality. When asked by someone if the thought of all his friends growing old and dying bothers him, he replies that the promise of making new friends makes up for it. When asked if he is worried about boredom, Tarzan replies that he lives such an exciting life, he doesn't worry about it.

It's Truth in Television, sort of, as this was the goal of real life Taoists. The Wuzhuang temple has a community of immortals because of a tree that produces life extending fruit, and the temple's monks are extremely protective of it. Son Wukong began his journey seeking to become immortal and only regretted it during that one time he was trapped under a mountain. He takes pride in calling everyone he meets "grandson" because of his great age.

Living Forever Is Awesome / int_d7c4626a	comment	The Sandman (1989): Morpheus makes a deal with Hob Gadling: he doesn't die, but they meet every hundred years in the same tavern. After two hundred years, Hob tells Morpheus how he got rich, married, and had a son. Next time, he's poor, his son died young, he can't remember his wife's name or face, he generally looks the picture of misery, the kind of guy the Pope would gladly Mercy Kill. Morpheus asks if Hob wants to die... to which Hob smiles and says "Are you crazy? Death is a mug's game. I've got so much to live for." Centuries later, when Death comes to see Hob to tell him that Dream is dead and asks him if he wants to die, he still says no. Hob seems to ultimately manage because he accepts that life has both ups and downs so there's no point in despairing completely during the bad parts or expecting the good times to last forever. Mad Hettie is determined to keep on going no matter what it takes, even though she's mad. It's unclear whether she was mad to begin with or whether immortality made her so. The Brief Lives storyline features Bernie Capax, a dull, unassuming lawyer who dreams of the mammoths he once walked among. He's usually a lawyer; people always need lawyers. He's quite surprised to hear himself scream "NOT YET!" when he's killed in a freak accident.
