lived in an apartment where you could see every roof from the windows, the novelty wears off fairly quickly and you can't even be a star nerd with all the light pollution from the city.
There's direct is fire escape access to the street from the sunroof down to his inner city neighborhood. Crackheads would be climbing up there all the time.
>>220455295 It's nice for a cartoon. In real life, that ceiling would be almost completely covered in pigeon shit, and you'd need to wash them like twice a month
>>220455295 >be taken in by your charitable landlord grandparents whom are clearly not living a life of luxury >brashly and stubbornly claim that the top-floor unit, one that would command a healthy rental fee, belongs to you that kid always was a dick tbqhwy.
>>220455358 >>220455375 these that thing is a problem magnet that would require a full time maintenance man to upkeep. the landlord would far sooner just put in a normal roof
Id argue that Timmy Turner had a better set up. His room itself is a basic suburban bedroom. But he lives in a quiet neighborhood and has his own private, fenced backyard with grass and a tree house. The ability to create any interior imaginable inside his bedroom and tree house is pretty crazy to consider as well. Arnold's has the view and vibes - but without easy outside acess and being in the middle of a city its actually very shitty
Are there still cities like that in America? Where regular people live in small apartments like that and you aren't constantly surrounded by violent immigrants and murderous black folk?
>>220455314 >>220455671 I'm sensitive to annoying sounds but rain could never be in that category. It's totally uniform and predictable so there's no shoe-drop or chinese water torture effect, it's like a sound massage.
>>220455295 It's really cool until you realize that Arnold has no way to keep the heat or light out whatsoever. That place could get super hot during a good chunk of the year, and he has to make sure he goes to sleep early so he gets eight hours minimum (honestly more since he's a kid/teen) before the sun rises.
>>220456180 Arnold might have schoolwork to do up there, or it could be too hot on some days even outside. Depending on the glass used for the ceiling, the sun might try to fade the stuff in his room severely too. Then there's the matter of how long the room would even take to cool down and be comfortable once it was night.
>>220456233 >yeah you see *takes estrogen* >millenials are actuall cringe *opens tablet for 12 hour femboy goon session >they're uncs and have lame media *watch brainrot tiktok ai slop*
>>220455701 I live in one a lot like it. The 40s and 50s did unimaginable damage to the comfy small city by bribing city officials to remove public transportation from the streets, as is the case with my city, which used to have a fantastic trolley system. So where I live, a car helps a lot, but it's still a small, safe city.
I’d be worried some roof nigga would look at you Be trying to chill and some roof nigga is peeping your whole setup >>220455379 They already lived in the top unit and Arnold’s Room was previously a storage attic. Learn the LORE
>>220455295 I found out a week or so ago that the city is supposed to be a stand-in for Seattle. What the fuck? It obviously looks like New York. Seattle doesn’t look anything like this.
>>220455358 >tfw you wake up in the middle of the night to see a naked crackhead jacking off to your sleeping teenage football headed twink body just in time to see him cum all over the sunroof window
>>220455295 My aunt and uncle are rich and live in boston and have a place that basically looks like this near downtown. My cousin got to live it. I still think I would prefer living in a normal house with a yard and nature nearby.
When I was in high school I rewatched Hey Arnold! as I found it was re-uploaded in full onto youtube, I was surprised by just how good, it had more depth than I realized as a kid, probably the best children show there is with a nice moral compass to it.
I'm 30 now and considering watching it through for a third time, as a palate cleanser if nothing else
>>220460799 Ive noticed this too. I fucking love cozy night scenes. Early simpsons and family guy used to have tons of them. Purple sky. All the characters are slightly darker. Big exterior shot of dark town. Into cozy warmly lit interior. Characters being scared of the dark. Its all gone. Sitcoms and movies too. I never see midnight suburban neighborhoods as a setting anymore. I always think of the night scenes in Superbad and Transformers as incredibly cozy
>>220455295 this was televised before everywhere switched to LED lights so it wasn't that bad. still wouldnt be close to pitch black in his room. just having my tiny window uncovered at night is enough to let ambient light in to see my way around. and now i live in a place with a bunch of giant flood lights nearby so it's actually extremely bright by the open windows. when im sick with a headache it bothers me
>>220455358 Proper fire scape ladders unload from top to bottom, it's not a fixed thing you can climb up and down It's literally an emergency ladder and it's supposed to stay up, inaccesible from the bottom
>rented a cabin in vermont with a loft during the winter >the heat rose to the ceiling and sleeping there was unbearable >had the window in the roof open, sleeping with just underwear on top of the blankets and still sweat
>>220455295 All the stuff in his room would be deteriorated from constant sunlight exposure. And he would wake up at sunrise every day unless he wore an eyemask.
>>220463273 Quite the opposite. If you are working for yourself and your family you are using every minute of daylight you can get. If you are working for mr. shekelberg he can give you a midnight shift at taco bell.
>>220463303 yeah, that anon is retarded. IIRC, most of the other units had to share a bathroom, and even the kitchen downstairs. I'm not even sure if they had a proper laundry room. But I think some of them did have small kitchenettes. It was basically like a large, 4 or 5 bedroom house, that they retrofit into rental units.
>>220455314 Sleeping under a glass roof while it's raining would be amazing. It must be like a thousand degrees in there during the daytime when it's clear outside though.
>>220465157 i think there were two instances (if you count the jungle movie) one is where i believe shes trying to get her pink book with the erotic poem she wrote about arnold, and shes hiding behind his flip out sofa. and the other is where she has surveillance equipment looking inside arnold's room and shes got a bunch of monitors inside her gooncave
>>220462115 That's what I mean. Deep purple or blue skies and cities with huge buildings that seemed full of life. They were so soulful that you could feel that the artists loved working on it. Why aren't they doing this shit anymore?
>>220455295 It's probably great until the summer heat turns your room into a sauna, or a bunch of birds cloud your view of the city with bird shit, or a bad hail storm means your roof might shatter. That being said, install some remotely operated shutters over the windows and most of your problems go away. That setup would be perfect for comfy stargazing if it weren't for the light pollution.
>>220461705 yeah I finally scored a house that is adjacent to like 6 acres of woods and nothing quite beats sitting out on my porch when theres rain falling just staring at the woods
>>220455314 I slept in a room under the roof with a skylight you could open for around 3 years in college, the rain pitter pattering onto the window is very comforting. As a bonus the apartment was on an incline with trees towering over it so any light that got in was that kino dappled sunlight you get when sitting in the forest. Highly recommend, only bad thing about it was the summer heat but that has more to do with insufficient thermal insulation.
>>220459562 no it's a mish mash of different cities, not a stand in for a single city. I don't have a link but there's a link to an interview with one of the creators about it floating around on /co/ sometime from the last five years.
>>220455857 Surprised this wasn't pointed out sooner. It's basically just a greenhouse, and he's right next to the water. It'd be gross as fuck in that room.
>>220465622 >>220462115 because the concept of night life has been entirely eradicated in modern society. 3rd spaces are being almost universally eradicated in favor of the social norm of sitting around on your PC or phone, paying a subscription fee, just to be shit on by some whore with a tripple digit body count. And this is reinforced by modern movie makers. They don't want nighttime scenes lit by the sky and city any more. They want night time scenes lit by your screens. because that's what modern audiences know, and it's cheaper to produce
