I know for a fact that I’m in love with him cause ain’t no way I just squealed, giggled and kicked my feet all because my s/o came on screen 😭😭😭

You were not made to live in this reality.

You were made for the stars.

Go shift. Shifting found you for a reason. Your journey has meaning.

[shiftinganddaydreaming]

from now on, every time i have a doubt i’m just gonna imagine myself spraying my brain as if it was a cat that did something it’s not supposed to.

[shiftinganddaydreaming]

no shifting method, just me lying in bed going to sleep thinking about all the stuff i have to do in the morning (but it’s the morning in my DR instead of my CR)

[shiftinganddaydreaming]

everytime someone says shifting in a non-shifting conversation i take it as a sign

everything is a sign if you are crazy enough

[shiftinganddaydreaming]

“just ignore the symptoms” the symptoms:

[shiftinganddaydreaming]

"What’s that notion app on your phone?"

[shiftinganddaydreaming]

Ngl- hearing your DR S/O whisper in your ear is terrifying 😳

Can we leave the term "mini shift" in 2024 please? THANK YEWWWWW!!!

It’s so so so so demotivating and just basically downplaying your own skills and abilities. Either you shifted or not. End of discussion.

"But it was only for 10 minutes!" "But I only heard sounds!"

YOU. ARE. DOWN. PLAYING. YOUR. OWN. ABILITY. AND. SKILLS. YOU. LITERALLY. SHIFTED. AND. YOU. SOUND. STUPID.

Nah, cause why was one post telling people that shifting isn't meant for everyone. Like everyone has the power to shift so no wrong. We can all shift.

Idk I just tend to ignore advice post & stuff like that now because, all I need is sheer willpower (I just smoked some pot with Loki & asked really nicely with some more offerings. He definitely showed me shifting first tho so)

Methods never worked for me, all the water in the world didn't help. Music, scripting, channeling, & such helped me feel closer. Honestly it was more important to me to feel connected to my DR then actually shifting. Once my DR felt like my CR (bcuz there isn't much difference) that was when I knew it was only a matter of time.

Aphantasia & ADHD didn't stop me

Obsessing over shifting & making a million scripts didn't stop me

Just one night I went to bed & woke up in a reality that wasn't my DR but still amazing. Tbh, I think just enjoying the journey is important. Haven't shifted to your DR, don't worry, you will. Just keep enjoying them edits of your S/O & imaging how it'll feel to have your desired closet.

Idk I am not an expert. I am just some girl who stumbled upon shifting, enjoyed the journey maybe a bit too much, 4 years later I shifted for the first time, was amazing but now it's just like not as fun now that I can do it.

Do you know how much work being a singer is? How scary Nomus actually are?

I think if it stops being fun, or you feel drained, then it's best to just take a second & find something fun. Shifting should be a happy experience. The toxic stuff is just so unnecessary tbh, rules are so limiting when, in other realities, you could literally do magic.

I know everyone likes to think that shiftblr is significantly better than shiftok but it's slowly starting to become the same with the recycled advice and judgmental mindsets. Every single advice post is the exact same with the exact same rude "it's your fault you haven't shifted" vibe to it. Which, especially for mentally ill and neurodivergent people is extremely harmful and does nothing but make them feel worthless and like they'll never shift. It's not difficult to be kind, and if it is for you then don't make content that people will listen to.

Shifters are the universe's ultimate explorers.

[shiftinganddaydreaming]

Fan Fic author but never published. I just read them back to myself

Also barely a Kpop fan, I just love BlackPink & Twice

resisting the urge to bring up shifting to people irl is literally so hard sometimes, specially when i know someone that keep saying 'how i wish i could live there', when referring to books and movies and i'm literally like 😔😶😶😶😶😶, i feel so useless but i just hope the universe does its job to guide them if they are ready for this journey.

I thought slow burn love was gonna be hard

However, getting to know them is weirdly the best part

Like I shifted for a day in my TVD DR finally. Didn't even talk to Damon the first day. Just saw his face & that was it.

So intimidatingly beautiful, yet I couldn't do anything about it. However before shifting back here (my first shift here, I intended to only be there for a day so that way I can still be here cause my CR fiance would be missed.) I just was way more happy for the build up. Like we will eventually fully introduce ourselves, slowly become closer, the drama. The will they won't they. The anticipation. I am demiromantic so slow burn is literally my whole life. Yeah, I may know Damon as a character in a show, but now I will know him as a person.

It was weird to feel curious but no romance attraction towards him since I really didn't know him.

okay so just imagine walking through new york or wherever and seeing plants & wildlife everywhere. like the place still looks the same but it’s much greener & there’s more animals. that’s what my home reality is. instead of working against nature and destroying it, humanity works completely in harmony with nature so cities like new york or london were built around nature not over it but they still look the same, ya know? and with humanity working with nature, fossil fuel & oil never became prominent sources of energy and everything runs on a completely renewable (never runs out) and eco-friendly energy source that doesn’t harm the planet so global warming, climate change & pollution all don’t exist and never happen 😭

things I learned after shifting to Hogwarts ‧₊ ᵎᵎ⋅ ˚ △⃒⃘

SIDENOTE: hogwarts was not the first reality I shifted to ! this is a uni reality ! there is no war ! ask any questions you want !

.☘︎ ݁˖ BATHROOM. I’ve genuinely never seen anyone talk about this but ( at least in my reality ) there’s a bathroom on the Hogwarts Express and holy fuck??? On the outside it looks tiny asf but I went in there to change into my robes and it’s wayyy bigger than it looks on the outside. It works like the tents in Goblet of Fire basically. The toilets and everything look relatively new so I’m assuming they change it every couple years just to keep in good condition.

.☘︎ ݁˖ MUGGLES. Have you ever wondered exactly how the muggles don’t notice wizardry, or at least at the platform? In my personal experience, unless it’s magic very intentionally and obviously done in front of muggles, there will usually be a moment distraction where they don’t see the magic happening. In the sense of platform nine and three quarters, there’s usually a couple trains that arrive around the same time and blare the horn so everyone usually gets distracted by that. But a personal example of this happens when I was standing in front of the barrier getting ready to cross through the wall, a young child was watching me from afar and as soon as started walking forward, he tripped over the wheel of his mothers luggage and didn’t see me go through the wall.

.☘︎ ݁˖ THE GREAT HALL. The candles are never ending. They don’t drip. They don’t melt in any way. I just had to say that cause I legit stared at them for almost an hour trying to see if it would melt. You have to talk pretty loud to be heard at the front where Dumbledore usually gives his lil speeches, which means the students who sing have lungs for DAYSSSS it’s actually so impressive. The benches are uncomfortable, not unbearable but not recommended for sitting for a long time lol. There’s no menu or anything, the food rlly does just appear there but there’s always something for everybody. Some people even walk up and down the table looking for what they want.

.☘︎ ݁˖ OTHER SCHOOLS. I didn’t stay in this reality for very long but I was always asking questions ( sorry mcgonnagall ). Ilvermorny is currently trying to admit more Native American wizards into their school but Native American wizards (as far as I know) have their own kind of magic and legit do not want anything to do with Ilvermorny. Kind of similar issue in Australia and Aboriginals I’m pretty sure. There’s a lot of, like a fuck ton of wizarding schools in Africa. I know JK Rowling has like one wizarding school in Africa but geographically speaking, that never made sense to begin with and I wasn’t surprised when I found out there were different/smaller wizarding schools around Africa.

.☘︎ ݁˖ STUDENTS. I don’t know how many students are in Hogwarts but I do know that it’s never a surprise who comes to Hogwarts. The ministry genuinely keeps track of every single wizard who has children, and even hold records of wizards who have families without wizarding abilities, just in case someone pops out with it. Easiest way to think of it is that families like Ron’s are always kept track of as well as Hermione’s, so it’s never usually a surprise when someone turns up muggleborn cause they’re usually expecting it.

.☘︎ ݁˖ PROFESSORS. The professors are not as silly goofy as they are in the movies guy :( They’re not miserable or anything but they all just remind me of the standing emoji LMAOOO. But seriously, someone like Mcgonnagall is not as welcoming or “chill” as she is in the movies or towards Harry. But some definitely are more chill, especially the younger ones. Slughorn is my silly king but even he has his moments.

Since this is a uni, Snape isn’t as uh…violent (?) as he is in the movies. Neville is a grown ass man, Snape is def not his biggest fear but Neville in general has a strong urge to prove himself and it reflects in his relationship with Snape. Snape isn’t scary, he just demands lots of respect and has respect for people that have proven they are “worthy” of it, i.e., high marks, put together, confidence, strong willed, etc.

.☘︎ ݁˖ DIVINATION. Did you guys know that being a witch/wizard doesn’t automatically make you good at all forms of divination? I scripted Mattheo Riddle into this reality and me and him are soooo good at other forms of divination like tarot, coffee grounds, and even the the crystal ball, but Theodore Nott fucking sucksss at it. Hermione also didn’t do as well in the class as I know she could’ve done, but according to Treylawney, all forms of divination require open mindedness towards something you can’t understand. Someone like hermione, for example, wants to know everything all the time and doesn’t beat around the bush, so tarot isn’t her cup of tea because she doesn’t think it’s giving her exactly what she wants.

.☘︎ ݁˖ HOMEWORK. Homework can either be really fun or really time consuming. It’s just like regular homework where you recall everything you learned in class but homework isn’t very common the more you move up in classes, mainly because the magic you start to do becomes more hands on rather than memorizing. This doesn’t apply to Snape though. He loves homework.

.☘︎ ݁˖ UNIFORMS. THE ROBES ARE INSULATED. It’s very thick, good quality fabric and keeps you real warm during the winter but during the later hot months like September, it’s not uncommon to walk around with the robes open or in your hands, but you have to wear them in your body during class, no exceptions. They absorb stains??? This is one I wasn’t expecting but it’s a magical robe so…okay! I dropped cranberry juice on the sleeve and it just completely absorbed and it didn’t stink or anything. This doesn’t apply to the tie or anything else, those have to washed for sure.

.☘︎ ݁˖ REALITY. If you haven’t shifted yet, you’ll often hear people say “it’ll feel natural because you’ve already lived there your whole life” and while that is true, it’s also not because how am I supposed to be natural walking past Robert fucking Pattinson to get to Defense Against the Dark Arts???? In my mind, he’s always been Edward from Twilight and seeing him in the hogwarts robes just made me stop in my tracks and stare. Some things come natural and some things don’t but I embrace everything with open arms.

.☘︎ ݁˖ EXTRA. Draco is blonde as hell! Like Targaryen level blonde. I do think it’s natural tho cause Luna has the same platinum type of blonde going on. Harry’s scar is soooo much cooler in this reality, it’s thin but branches out on the side of his face and it’s much more noticeable than the one in the movie. Hermione has curly curly hair! I don’t know if she straightens it in the books but I know she does in the movie, in this reality she literally just got a better curl routine. She has a ton of products and really cares for her hair and she’s lowkey embarrassed cause it’s the one thing she considers “vain.”

There’s a “club” of sorts where a bunch of students get together and run around the castle at the crack ass of Dawn for exercise ( best believe they have NEVER seen the likes of me ). I was told there are wizards who are famous in muggle spaces, typically for music or art. The painting will warn people when the stairs are about to move lol. That whole house discrimination stuff doesn’t happen as often as it does in the movies/books, most people don’t actually care and Slytherins get along with Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs well—however, Gryffindor does have the tendency to poke fun and Slytherins respond with dry sarcasm so sometimes it’s not a perfect fit! House discrimination was bigger in our parents age but as the years have gone by, the current gen doesn’t care fr.

That’s all I can think of atm, thank you for reading and yes I will be doing this with other places I’ve shifted to!

[shiftinganddaydreaming]

It just feels too boring

Even canonically. Yes, he was part of the Order of the Phoenix but he didn't need to have any ministry position for that.

He is a professinal quidditch player & has a hair product brand that sells extremely well.

Idk I am not close with him in my DRs but that is what he does

i don’t care what anyone says. james potter was never an auror. he just wasn’t. i can’t see him doing it. just because he was part of the order doesn’t mean he was an auror. he was 100% a professional quidditch player after hogwarts in my mind, a chaser for either puddlemere united or chudley canons. whichever you prefer. but he was NOT an auror.

[shiftinganddaydreaming]

Accidentally channeling Levi Ackerman when I was 12 in 2016 bcuz I didn't know what it was but I just remember, playing music & lowkey kind of cringe. But pretending to dance with him, then I like swore I felt him right in front of me. I couldn't see him but I knew.

Like it is cringey for me to think about for so long, but now knowing what channeling is... I was just full on summoning this dude.

Tbf, I also kept up on chores & school work by telling myself Levi would want me to. Making sure everything was done to an Ackerman standard, lmao
