Hey Arnold had the best bedroom as kid could have
>>220455295Just imagine a rain storm though? The noise?
>>220455295the rent for his apartment would be fucking insane
>>220455314Yeah sounds terrible zzzzz….
>>220455295It forces him to go play outside in the summer
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.
>>220455295It'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 youthat kid always was a dick tbqhwy.
>>220455358>>220455375thesethat 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
>>220455379i always disliked arnold's smug nature and didn't enjoy the show as a result.
>>220455295Probably got steamy in the summer though
>>220455295In an apartment building? Yeah I'm sure he loved hearing Oscar beat his wife and having to smell mr. wynns garlic onions smelling ass
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
If that room is overlooked by other buildings it wold be impossible for him to play with himself.
>>220455439For me its
>>220455295The flip out sofa was pimpin
>>220455471Id argue jimmy neutron had a cozier lab and lived in a better neighborhood. Plus Dexter is so short he'd have a hard time getting pus.
>>220455454>he's too embarrassed and insecure to let others watchbeta.
>>220455295The sun would be my main issue.
>>220455526Jimmy's lab was disgusting. Its little better that a shed.
>>220455526Jimmy's giant head is fucked
>>220455295It was cool but imagine the fucking noise when it rains.
>>220455671>>220455314Would be quite relaxing I might say
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>>220455671I'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.
>>220455694>>220455752Sure, when it hits the ground outside, not when it bangs constantly against glass on top of your head.
>>220455671I bet it'd be pretty comfy.
>>220455295Didn't he live in a poor inner city? I'd be afraid of lunchtime rowdies climbing up the ladder, smashing the glass and looting the place.
>>220455784I've never slept under a single sheet of tin but anything more than that is spa tier.
>>220455295The sun would be absurd at times during the summer, you'd have to tarp the outside or get curtains.
>>220455314It's super comfy>t. lived right under the roof for years
>>220455295>ladder so anyone can come up and spywith a boarding house full of crazy renters, i'd be paranoid

>>220455314>does anybody just start crying when alone in nature
It would be pretty fucked in the summer though.
>>220455295It'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.
>>220456108>>220456120when the sun is that hot he should be out living his life, nerd
>>220456180Zoomers don't know that kids back then actually went outside. They didn't have tablets so there really wasn't much to do inside.
>>220456180Arnold 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.
>>220456201Except watch gay cartoons apparently
>>220455295You will get boiled alive in the summer
>>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*
>>220455314comfy cannot exist if there isn't uncomfy trying to get you
>>220455752The worse issue will be birds. Around sunrise they'll all start landing on that.
>>220455701I 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.
>>220455314>Just imagine a rain storm though?>The noise?
>>220455894>>220455932who would creep on a boy?
>>220455295Living in a greenhouse wouldn't be fun until winter.
>>220456180The sun damage would wash out the colors in everything in the room
>>220456672that's why you keep your yugiohs in a tin
I’d be worried some roof nigga would look at youBe trying to chill and some roof nigga is peeping your whole setup >>220455379They already lived in the top unit and Arnold’s Room was previously a storage attic.Learn the LORE
>>220456336>landingYou mean shitting
>>220455295>New JerseyKid should have broken a window and jumped.
>>220455358I've got some crack for them.
no one is talking about the snow caving in this glass ceiling
>>220455314I love rain but would be worried about hail.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7Fgqj2KqpQ
>>220455843I had, add a tree nearby, it sounds like being in a boat during a storm, its actually quite relaxing after the first hour
>>220456233you don't like gay cartoons?
>>220455295I 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.
>>220455295how come kid shows and vidya back then were obsessing over that comfy night aesthetic, which is now completely gone from all media?
>>220455295You'd be sick of that sun roof so fast.
>>220456108It would be fucked in the winter too. Glass can't insulate for shit.
>>220455327Kek
>>220455694You'd think that but it's actually infuriating. I used to have a ceiling window in my room. It ruined rain for me.
>>220455932>cant jerk off because Pigeon Man can see you
>that skylight in the summer timehell no
>>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
>>220455295smoking cigs with your girlfriend on your bedroom rooftop villa when she can just climb up the ladder without anyone knowing.
Until summer hits.
people in helicopters would see you jerking off all the time
>>220455358in the current year, sure. people forget how docile the homeless used to be.
>All these betas who can't handle sun
>>220461447yeah no you're getting meth heads
>>220455295My 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.>>220455314that would be heaven
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
I would be so paranoid someone was on the roof watching me jerk off
>>220461948
im seeing a bed and two shelves.
>>220456108Imagine the sex with Helga isn’t that room
>>220455295Just imagine if it were to hail, all the broken glass falling all over you as you sleep.
>>220460799Ive 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
>>220455932
>>220455295this 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
>>220456672do you not know tarps exist?
apparently green house effect would be a real issue. but I would still want that room
>>220455314rain would be comfyit's the sun would cook you alive and make that garret uninhabitable
>>220455358Proper fire scape ladders unload from top to bottom, it's not a fixed thing you can climb up and downIt's literally an emergency ladder and it's supposed to stay up, inaccesible from the bottom
>>220458734>owning any kind of weapons in urban Washington
>>220462501I thought it was Brooklyn. Point stands, I guess
>>220462501thats all been undone now too
>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 sweatThat place would turn into an oven.
>>220455295All 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.
>>220463079What kind of useless waste of space sleeps past sunrise?
>>220463150Waking up early and going to bed early isn't morally better than waking up late and staying up late, morningfag
>>220463150Dad? You're still alive?
>>220463216There's so many productive things one can do at 2 am. Like watch one quarter of a season of that anime you've been meaning to watch.
>>220463236>measures morality in terms of how productive and useful he can be to Mr. ShekelbergNice slave mentality
>>220463273Quite 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.
>>220455324Wasn't it a low income building his grandpa owned?
>>220463303yeah, 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.
>>220463079Not just that, it would be fuckin 150 degrees with direct sunlight in the summer time
>>220455295people on the roof watching you masturbate
>>220455314Sleeping 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.
>>220464004It'd probably be insanely loud.
>>220461399And that crackhead's name: Helga G Pattaki.
>>220464209glass doesn't transmit sound, that's why they build bulletproof cameras out of it
>>220456108Where's his computer desk?
>>220455295Ah, yes, being scorched to death on any nice day, being constantly awake during any inclement weather at night, so great
>>220456672He can tint it dark with the remote.
>>220455295wouldn't it get hot as shit during the day?
all skylights sounds nice until the sun is out on a clear day
>>220464329she's canonically seen football head's "football head"
Sure but imagine playing a ball game here.
>>220465111huh?
>>220465111Checkedkek really? Please elaborate
>>220465111Nah, he never liked her, be she did squirt all over her gum sculpture of him
>>220465157i 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
>>220459562I watched cheers and it looks exactly like that
>>220462115That'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?
>>220462115>Characters being scared of the dark.
>>220455295>what if we moved New York City... TO SEATTLE?!Why not just set it in New York?
>>220465649
>>220463300that's why you're incredible productive on here 12 hours a day shitposting
>>220465216need webms extended by unfiltered ai. helga's obsession was engaging
>>220465622Because people are depressed and cities aren't full of wonder, they're full of wretches.
>>220465726we've known that all along but I believe the depression theory
>>220455295Yeah. Imagine having to wake up at 5am every day because the sun is shining in your face
>>220465770according to the mandarla effect, the sun has changed colour, so everything looks wrong.might explain why flamenco's aren't red anymore.
>>220462115Night scenes look like shit in digital. Not sure why they stopped doing them in cartoons though
>>220465826Not sure if trolling or really stupid.
>>220462869Dozens of people before you did the same and the blankets were full of their ass sweat.
Arnold was Jewish
>>220465869just make butt tea out of those blankets
>>220455295Imagine the teen sexo you would have up there...
>>220465902He wasn't and neither was Doug.
>>220455295It'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.
>>220455295Do you think he ever fingered Helga up there
>>220455314Im getting sleepy just thinking about it. Nothing is more comfy than a low light thunderstorm
>>220465928Probably a lot of oral play too, but I am 100% certain they lost their virginity together on the rooftop.
>>220465920There's an episode where Arnold has a bar mitzvah
>>220465622It's hard to romanticize a modern city with all the ugliness a life there entails these days.
>>220455314The only problem would be the heat which I think the heatwave episode was basically about. Plus they just went outside, crazy.
>>220466073Harold the fat bully had a bar mitzvah.
>>220465826Close your eyes dumbass
>>220465955Imagine her unabush that goes from navel to anus
>>220455295Imagine all the pigeon shit
>>220466174You're right. It's Harold and Eugene who are
>>220455295That sunroof would provide too much sunlight.
>>220455314I've literally been searching for a place with more rain, the sound is the most blissful thing in life

>>220455526Dexters lab was much better, it was goddamn massive and had this dark science vibe
>>220461705yeah 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
am i misremembering or did the sunroof have retractable shutters
>>220462052glass used for ceilings like that is reinforced, it would take an enormous amount of snow on top for it to break
>>220462869why didn't you just turn the heat way down?
>>220463150i work full time but I work 3pm to 11. No shit I'm not waking up at sunrise, if I'm lucky i'll sleep til noon
>>220455471Awesome Laboratory
>>220465142hey arnold had a pretty kino baseball flash game if i remember right
>>220455379>Get kickass bedroom>But your parents are deadAlways was a dilemma for me to consider as a kid
>>220466281That's an island.
>>220455314I 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.
Haven't watched the cartoon in literal decades, didn't Arnold's room have one of those retractable roof things like they have on the openings in cars?
>>220456108earth was cooler back then, al gore hadn't invented climate change yet
>>220459562no 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.
>>22045596310/10 experience, niiiice buddy :)
>>220455857Surprised 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.
>>220461983
>>220455963tight tight tight
>>220465622>>220462115because 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
