History Main / FluffyCloudHeaven

* ''WesternAnimation/AngelWars'': Heaven is typically depicted either as blue skies with white puffy clouds or as full of bright golden clouds. This helps contrast the [[{{Cyberpunk}} grittier]] human world.

* The second stage of early UsefulNotes/PlayStation game ''Kyuiin'', a CuteEmUp, is this. Since [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r4zbZm_X-O8 the players are gunning down]] rows of cherubs, angels and archangels, it may also count as RageAgainstTheHeavens, if it wasn't all inspired by fairy tales.

* ''Art/CupidAndPsycheBouguereau'': In "Cupid and Psyche as Children", "Psyche and Love", and "The Rapture of Psyche", the title characters are in the Heavens together and all we can see is a relaxing landscape of white clouds.

** In ''Golden Wind'', [[spoiler: Bruno (who was technically undead at this point)]]'s soul was finally able to ascend to the sky after [[spoiler: the effects of Chariot Requiem was undone.]] Similiarly, [[spoiler: Abbachio's soul was shown alongside his former partner in the clouds after the Gang learns about his his corpse and his final actions.]]

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': Played with in "The Gift". Mittens is [[BigDamnReunion reunited in the afterlife]] with Bolt and Rhino, who predecease her. There are checkout counter style lines for admission. It's also an ideal place where one can call up all knowledge, art, or culture for enjoyment, and its residents mingle and talk in cocktail party fashion. However, it’s based on Eastern karmic principles (even referred to as Nirvana instead of Heaven) and beings can't enter until they have learned all their required life lessons.

* ''Art/CupidAndPsycheBouguereau'': In "Cupid and Psyche as Children", the title characters are in the Heavens together and all we can see is a relaxing landscape of white clouds.

* The ''Art/DisputationOfTheHolySacrament'' by Creator/RaphaelSanzio shows [[UsefulNotes/{{Jesus}} Christ]] and the saints sitting on clouds floating above a Eucharistic celebration. Interestingly, the painting tries to make this a JustifiedTrope by showing that the clouds are filled with little angels that support everything that lies above the clouds.

* ''Heavenly'' is set in one of these, which contains landmarks like the Wall of Good Deeds and the [[TastesLikeDiabetes Hall of Adorable Niceness]].

* Played straight in a sense in ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' where Bhava-agra, the home of the celestials, while not being a Christian realm of fluffy clouds and angels, is this trope's Buddhistic counterpart; a realm of {{Floating Continent}}s and lush greenery. Also deconstructed in a way with Hinanawi Tenshi who, rather than becoming a {{Celestial|ParagonsAndArchangels}} by her own virtue, simply trancended along with her parents after they made a BargainWithHeaven, and as such has none of the self-dicipline and maturity that typically makes a mortal ascend to Bhava-agra... So how does a being with the mind of an unenlighted mortal turn out if it grows up in a world of instant gratifications? Why, it turns into a SpoiledBrat who's willing to majorly fuck up stuff down on Earth [[ItAmusedMe just to relieve its own ginormous boredom]], that's how... According to WordOfGod, Tenshi is not malicious, though; she's just a case of ChildrenAreInnocent enforced by the lack of CharacterDevelopment a place like Fluffy Cloud Heaven would invoke.

* This is the setting of Music/KanyeWest's game ''Only One'', which is based on his late mother Donda West "travelling through the gates of heaven".

* Creator/DCComics have sometimes featured Fluffy Cloud Heaven, often with the [[JustifiedTrope justification]] that Heaven doesn't ''really'' look like this, but it's something [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith mortals can comprehend]]. In the CrisisCrossover ''Day of Judgement'' a side-door in Fluffy Cloud Heaven leads to Grey Cloud Purgatory.
** It's also established in the DC Universe that the afterlife tends to be what the deceased ''wants'', or what they think they ''deserve'', so if a good person expects Fluffy Cloud Heaven and desires it, that is what they will get.
* ''ComicBook/TheLifeAndTimesOfScroogeMcDuck'' features this version, complete with pastel colors and a fluffy cloud golf course.
* Subverted in ''ComicBook/JohnnyTheHomicidalManiac'', where the entrance to Fluffy Cloud Heaven is covered in filth and grime. Heaven itself is fairly standard.
* Fluffy Cloud Heaven appears in some ''ComicBook/ChickTracts'', such as "This Was Your Life".
** This being ''the'' Jack Chick, however, he's far more interested in FireAndBrimstoneHell

* R. Crumb's ''Mr. Natural'' has him getting hit by a car and waking up in Fluffy Cloud Heaven. He's amazed at the angels singing hymns, "the whole shtick!" God greets him and asks how he likes it, and Mr. Natural chuckles that it's a little corny and outdated. God is insulted and has him booted back to earth.
%%* Parodied by the Belgian one-page series ''Passe-moi l'ciel!''.
* Mick Stevens takes this on in ''Poodles from Hell''. After spending some time in an ordinary-looking break room (pop machine, coffee, napkins, trash can) you enter Fluffy Cloud Heaven, where you get all the stuff back that you ever lost. You ride around in a limo -- you hit all the green lights...

* One arc in the ''Celeb'' strip in ''Magazine/PrivateEye'' had the protagonist apparently dead and wandering about in a Heaven of this type. It's eventually revealed that he's in a coma and hallucinating it.

** Someone gets sent to "hog heaven". It's Fluffy Cloud Heaven [[JustForFun/RecycledINSPACE WITH PIGS!]]

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': Played with in "The Gift". Mittens is [[BigDamnReunion reunited in the afterlife]] with Bolt and Rhino, who predecease her. There are checkout counter style lines for admission. It's also an ideal place where one can call up all knowledge, art, or culture for enjoyment, and its residents mingle and talk in cocktail party fashion. Played with in that it's based on Eastern karmic principles (even referred to as Nirvana instead of Heaven) and beings can't enter until they have learned all their required life lessons.

* ''Fanfic/TheBoltChronicles'': Partly played straight in "The Gift". Mittens is [[BigDamnReunion reunited in the afterlife]] with Bolt and Rhino, who predecease her. There are checkout counter style lines for admission. It's also an ideal place where one can call up all knowledge, art, or culture for enjoyment, and its residents mingle and talk in cocktail party fashion. Played with in that it's based on Eastern karmic principles (even referred to as Nirvana instead of Heaven) and beings can't enter until they have learned all their required life lessons.

* In ''Film/BillAndTedsBogusJourney'' Bill and Ted go to a perfectly white realm filled with ornate towers and light to talk God into helping them find someone smart enough to defeat their [[EvilTwin Evil Robot doubles]]. This Fluffy Cloud Heaven is a tribute to that in the 1946 film ''A Matter of Life and Death'', in which David Niven's character shuttles between our world and Heaven as a result of a bureaucratic mix-up.

** There were so many doing this to Creator/SteveJobs that [[https://cdn.mobilesyrup.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/807-e1319559795303.png one depicted him complaining about how inappropriate they were for a Buddhist]].[[note]][[ArtisticLicenseReligion This ignores]] how most real Buddhist traditions do believe people can be reborn in heaven-like realms of being, such as the Deva realms or the aforementioned Pure Land, [[https://religiondispatches.org/steve-jobs-reincarnated-as-divine-half-yak/ with at least one Thai Buddhist leader]] claiming he actually did wind up in the former.[[/note]]

* ''Toys/AngelBunny'': The decals on the toys often depict this, with Angel Bunny and her friends playing among the clouds.

* In ''Literature/DiaryOfAWimpyKid,'' Rowley draws a cartoon where the character goes to Fluffy Cloud Heaven. The character foolishly reminds St. Peter of the time he stole candy as a child and gets tossed off a cloud, shouting the comic's CatchPhrase "ZOO-WEE-MAMAAAAAA!"

In a RageAgainstTheHeavens setting, Fluffy Cloud Heaven will have its tackiness emphasized: Halos are fake and hung up via a metal strip at the back of the neck, like in a child's school play. Elements of Fluffy Cloud Heaven may be used as [[CrapsaccharineWorld a disguise for "the truth"]]. In other, more beneficent settings, heaven is whatever is pleasant to its inhabitants; if they ''want'' Fluffy Cloud Heaven, they [[FisherKingdom get Fluffy Cloud Heaven]], however silly. Or it might be an AfterlifeAntechamber to the ''real'' Heaven, which nobody talks about.
