* ''Tarzan'' and a few of his friends attain eternal life and youth by stealing some immortality pills from one novel's Big Bad (he cannot share immortality with the world, due to the pill's morally dubious manufacturing method). 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.

* Shangri-La, according to [[InsaneClownPosse juggalos]].

Want to learn to speak Swahili? You have the time! Care to take up bungee jumping? No fear! Literally, your [[GoodThingYouCanHeal pain and threat reflexes]] will be burned out by the second century.

As for the ones you'll love and lose - well, "[[AChorusLine 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! Besides, in some universes, [[TheNothingAfterDeath death is more boring than life could ever be,]] or is [[CessationOfExistence too terrifying to consider.]] Basically, rather than [[SourGrapesTropes Sour Grapes]] griping, the immortal character decides to see the upside of {{immortality}} and actually 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?''

* ''DoctorWho''.

-> '''[[FunnyAneurismMoment Marcus]]''': ''I do, actually.''

* Noh-A, the [[MacGuffinGirl Mirror Image]] of Manhwa/JackFrost.

** And the ''actual'' immortals, Kaguya and Mokou, seem to be enjoying it quite a bit as well, though [[{{Fanon}} it can depend on whose interpretation you go by]].
*** And beyond them, you have the Yuyuko and Yukari, the first of whom is a ghost (and thus already dead technically but perfectly able to function, especially since ghosts in Touhou lack the usual drawbacks), and the second of whom can [[SuperpowerLottery control the border of life and death]], likely allowing herself immortality. The two are the most carefree people you will see in the {{Fanon}}.

* [[spoiler: Tenzen Yakushiji]] from {{Basilisk}} has a parasite living inside his body that grants him immorality [[spoiler: (though he's not completely immortal)]] and is shown to greatly enjoy it, even going so far as to gloat about it towards opponents who thought they killed him.

* Shangri-La, according to [[InsaneClownPosse juggalos]].

** Given that he's implied to later become the Face of Boe mentioned above (which the writers are in dispute over), it means he does not really change his mind at all about immortality over the course of [[strike:eternity]] ''5 thousand million years plus''.
