YES!!!
I read this one book, actually quite a few books, due to the bookstagram recommendation thinking it’s a romantic book, turns out they were books with weird themes of kidnapping, murder, stalking, no autonomy of women on themselves, and just downright filth.
Now, I’m not a prude, I can read smut, but it was just disgusting. I am not listening to booktok or bookstagram recommendations of romantic book ever again.
There are so many tropes that I love, but there are also tropes I absolutely hate.
The most annoying trope for me in books and movies is pregnancy trope or the second chance trope. 😶
These are very Wattpady fanfiction trope.
Ummm so I actually went to check, and the top 5 apps on my phone is
I don’t know what to make of it 😭
When I think about it, the fictional characters have some seriously incredible homes, and honestly, some of them are more tempting than the actual plot.
There are so many homes I wanted to live in. And now I get to talk about it 😁
1. Pemberley + Mr Darcy’s Estate
Yes obviously, it’s gonna be here. The estate was talked about in Pride and Prejudice .
Why I’d Move In
Just look at the god damn place? It’s so huge. There is The Dining Parlour, The Saloon, The Picture Gallery, The Tasteful Decor, The Exterior Grounds. So much more. Why wouldn’t I want to live there?
The Catch
The biggest downside would have been Lady Catherine de Bourgh. I wouldn’t have wanted her to visit me at all.
2. The Burrow + Home Of The Weasley Family
Yes I would move here too, if I am looking for a crowd to be honest. The estate was talked about in Pride and Prejudice .
Why I’d Move In
The place was old, but pretty. There was The Kitchen, The Magical Clock, Self-Washing Dishes (I mean who wouldn’t want that) and The Orchard/Garden.
The Catch
The biggest downside would have been me being over-stimulated and them being too loud. It would have been too crowded for me
3. Hogwarts Castle
I mean are we really going to ask why? I always wanted Hagrid to show up at my home and tell me that “You are a wizard”.
Why I’d Move In
OMG, it would have been magical. And imagine the amount of adventure there would be every day. There is The Moving Staircases, The Great Hall, The Room of Requirement, The Chamber of Secrets and Enchanted Classrooms and Dungeons.
The Catch
The biggest downside is Voldemort. 😶
4. Barbie’s Dreamhouse + Barbie’s Home
Specifically, the 1990s one. I want to live in that mansion even now as a grown adult. It was a cultural movement.
Why I’d Move In
As I told you, it was a cultural movement for a lot of girls. It had everything in it. Things you can’t even imagine were also there. There was The 3-Story Spiral Slide, Interactive Smart Furniture, The Pet Paradise, Wheelchair-Accessible Elevators.
The Catch
I don’t think there is any downside to living there. It would have been perfect and magical.
5. The Salvatore Boarding House + The Salvatore brother’s home
It’s from The Vampire Diaries…. That’s it, that should be enough to tell you about it. It was a really beautiful house. Old, yes, but so pretty. When I get a bigger hours for myself, you best believe this is going to be my inspiration.
Why I’d Move In
Moving into the Salvatore Boarding House comes with massive advantages, specifically regarding unmatched security, historic luxury, and supernatural resources. The Living Room, The Cellar, Damon’s Bedroom, and The Salvatore Library which was packed with centuries-old books, journals detailing family history, and hidden compartments storing weapons, stakes, and vervain.
The Catch
Oh I just know this, the biggest downside is the stupid and unwanted encounters with vampires, witches, werewolves and god knows what super nature being. But Damon would protect me.
Final Thoughts
Honestly, fictional homes just hit differently. Maybe it’s the magic, the impossible architecture, or the fact that they come with stories attached to every room. Sure, some of these places might also come with villains, vampires, ghosts, family drama, or the occasional world-ending crisis, but I’m still willing to pack my bags. I just know I would love it.
Which fictional home would you move into without thinking twice?

Full time writing.
I do write, but only after my 9-5 is done. I would be a full time writer if it wasn’t for the responsibilities over my head.
