Hello me. No, you are not doing anything wrong. You shift constantly. You manifest effortlessly. Take a breath. You're fine.

Sometimes I consider where I'll be in 1000 years and I always get freaked out. Bc 1000 years is nothing. I'm a shifter, I'm literally immortal. I'm infinite. And yes 1000 years is nothing, I wonder where I'll be in 100 million years? I mean.. what. Idfk. Time doesn't exist anyway.

So I was rewatching the Get Shifty podcast (RIP Christine 😭)

But something that stood out to me was that both C and Christine made a very good point on their Controversial Shifting Opinions video.

And they talked about how adults in the community shouldn’t promote permashifting/respawing because it is bad for teenagers mental health to see shifting as a for of escapism and that they personally don’t wish they would have had shifting back then when they were teenagers because it would’ve messed with their mental health.

And I thought to myself “well, I am a minor, and as someone who is going through a lot in my current teenage years I do think that shifting (to a certain extent) has fucked up my life a little bit” and I don’t mean that shifting is bad for me, or that I don’t think I should be in this journey.

Butt ☝️ I do think that all of us in the community (knowing that most of us are minors and are a little bit screwed in the head) should be more mindful about the way we look at shifting.

Because think about it

If you’re seeing shifting as a form of escapism, you don’t see it as something real.

Other forms of escapism (which we often call entertainment) like fanfiction, media, social media, ext are good for you yes. But you don’t think fanfiction is something serious, you don’t think a movie can somehow affect your life in a positive way because it is just that a movie

And shifting is no different. What do you do on your spare time? If the answer is scripting, reading fanfiction about your s/o, watching shifting content. You are making shifting be this form of entertainment instead of a practice.

Your brain is so used to fanfiction and movies and any other form of entertainment to not me real that it just sees shifting as another thing to add to the list that gives us dopamine, but is not going farther then the screen.

I got a bit out of track here my bad 🧍 but I hope you guys get what I’m trying to say

Therapists are for when you have that one problem that you can’t tell to anyone in your life because they just wouldn’t understand.

“Just talk to me” How about no? 😝

sloth - @into-the-jeggyverse - wc: 953

James was lying on the couch with his legs sprawled dramatically over the armrest, one sock halfway off, his curls messier than usual, and a philosophy book half-open on his stomach. Regulus was on the floor with a mug of tea and a judgmental brow arched toward James’ current posture.

“You’re going to herniate your spine trying to be Socrates,” Regulus muttered, flipping a page in The Symposium.

“I’m already herniating,” James said with a grin, “but for art.” He squinted down at the book as if it would suddenly grant him divine enlightenment. “Question.”

“Unfortunately, I’m listening.”

James beamed. “Seven deadly sins. Pride, greed, wrath, envy, lust, gluttony, sloth. Let’s assign them to our friends.”

Regulus didn't even hesitate to look up. “You want me to do that?”

“Yeah, I trust you to be honest.”

“That’s because you’re reckless.”

“And you’re pretty when you’re cruel.”

Regulus rolled his eyes so hard it was practically audible. Still, he leaned back against the base of the couch and took a thoughtful sip of his tea. “Fine. But if they find out, I’m blaming you.”

“Deal.” James grinned. “Start anywhere.”

Regulus tapped his lip. “Alright. Pride. Sirius. Obviously.”

James laughed immediately. “You’re not wrong.”

“He’s brilliant, beautiful, and he knows it. That’s the thing with pride, it’s not just thinking you’re great—it’s believing everyone else should acknowledge it too. Sirius doesn’t walk into a room so much as make an entrance and then wait for applause.”

James nodded thoughtfully. “He would start a cult if Remus didn’t roll his eyes at him all the time.”

“That’s the only thing keeping him humble. Remus' disapproval.”

Regulus smirked. “Next: Greed. I’m giving it to Marlene.”

James raised his eyebrows. “Marlene? Really? She always shares her fries.”

“She does, but greed isn’t just about hoarding things, James. It’s wanting more. Constantly. Marlene wants all the attention, all the chaos, all the spark and spectacle. She’s greedy for life. She burns through people and parties like she’s terrified of running out.”

James paused. “Okay. Yeah. That’s actually... scarily accurate.”

“I know,” Regulus said with a hint of smugness. “Now. Wrath. Barty.”

James made a face. “Yeah. He has resting murder face.”

Regulus chuckled darkly. “He doesn’t get angry often. But when he does? It's explosive. Wrath is about that simmering edge. The kind of anger that waits for an excuse.”

“Ticking time bomb.”

“Exactly.”

James twirled a loose thread on his shirt. “So who's envy?”

Regulus hesitated. “Lily.”

“What? Lily? She’s a walking inspirational quote.”

“She’s kind,” Regulus agreed. “But she compares herself to others constantly. Wants to be the best at everything she does, even if she doesn’t say it out loud. Envy isn’t always obvious. Sometimes it comes wrapped in good intentions.”

James mulled that over. “That’s kind of sad.”

“She works hard. She’s brilliant. But she’s always looking sideways. That kind of hunger has a cost.”

James sighed. “Okay. That brings us to... lust.”

Regulus grinned slowly. “Dorcas.”

“Absolutely. No hesitation. That woman could seduce a rock.”

“She probably has.”

“I think she flirted with a traffic cone once,” James said, half-laughing.

Regulus snorted. “And the cone said thank you.”

James pointed at him. “You’re enjoying this too much.”

“I warned you.”

“Alright, alright. What about gluttony?”

Regulus smirked. “Peter.”

James blinked. “Because of food?”

“Not just food,” Regulus said. “Peter consumes. He doesn’t know how to pace himself. Be it food, gossip, attention—he always takes too much. It's not malicious. It's just... excessive.”

James nodded slowly. “He does kind of hoard snacks and secrets.”

“Exactly.”

James shifted on the couch, stretching until his book slid off him and thudded to the floor. “So that leaves... sloth.”

Regulus didn’t answer immediately.

James frowned. “Reg?”

Regulus tilted his head back against the couch to look at him. “That one’s me.”

James blinked. “You?”

Regulus nodded once. “It’s not laziness in the typical sense. It’s a soul-deep exhaustion. The kind that makes you freeze. Makes you do nothing when you know you should. Sloth is spiritual apathy. Not because you don’t care—but because you’re too afraid to start. Too tired to fight.”

James was quiet. The room felt heavier suddenly, like gravity had intensified.

He slid down from the couch until he was next to Regulus on the floor, thigh to thigh.

“That’s not a sin,” James said softly. “That’s surviving.”

Regulus didn’t respond for a long moment. His fingers were tight around his mug.

“But it feels like one,” he finally whispered. “When everyone else is running and I’m... still trying to stand.”

James reached over and carefully took the mug from his hands, setting it aside.

He pulled Regulus into a loose, grounding hug, arms warm around his waist.

“You’re not stuck,” he said into Regulus’ hair. “You’re still moving. Maybe slower. Maybe quieter. But you’re not still.”

Regulus leaned into him with a sigh that sounded like something uncoiling inside his chest.

They sat like that for a while. Books forgotten.

Eventually, James whispered, “So where do I fall in all that?”

Regulus leaned back just enough to look at him.

“You’re all of them,” he said, and when James’s eyes widened in mock horror, Regulus smirked. “In the best possible way. Pride in your friends. Gluttony for joy. Wrath for justice. Lust for life. Envy only of the stars because you think you can burn brighter. Greed for love. Sloth, maybe, on Sundays. But you don’t sit in it—you just nap through it.”

James was quiet for a long beat. Then he grinned. “You think I burn brighter than stars?”

Regulus rolled his eyes. “Don’t make me regret being poetic.”

James leaned in. “Too late.”

And then he kissed him.

OH MY GOODNESS GUYS I NEVER REALIZED HOW MUCH THIS SONG IS LITERALLY ABOUT SHIFTING. EVERY SINGLE LINE IS ABOUT SHIFTING.

Like “I grant myself complete permission”? Talk about letting yourself be quantumly free

“Can you ever reach the end of a timeless existence” ??? Speaks for itself

“Just imagine being human, hating your confusion. Denying till it’s proven and laughing at illusion” !!!!!!! Guys she’s talking about the ego and how we literally create shit situations for ourselves and deny everything that doesn’t fit into what we think is logical based on the inexistent laws we think rule over us AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

JK Rowling: I hate drarry shippers

JK Rowling: I wanted Harry to end up in a relationship that paralleled jily

JK Rowling: anyway here’s the scene I wrote of lily meeting james for the first time which parallels harry meeting draco for the first time and during which James repeats some of draco's dialogue nearly verbatim in a presumably intentional callback

Shifting is as easy as sleeping.

To fall asleep, you close your eyes and pretend you’re already asleep. So, to shift, you have to just pretend you shifted- don’t even close your eyes.

Yes, it can take time. Yes, you could lay there with your eyes closed for hours trying to slip into slumber. But you know that, eventually, you will fall asleep.

The same goes for shifting, just fake it till you make it. Like how you do with everything else already.

Guys I figured it out

I’m not shifting, and you might not be shifting, because we are scared.

Now, hear me out.

Do you get butterflies just thinking about actually seeing your s/o? Like literally having them in front of you? Or does your heart beat faster just thinking that you won’t wake up here tomorrow?

If the answer is yes, then more likely than not you’re scared shitless about shifting. Like I’m literally a nervous wreck just thinking about not waking up in my safe teenage girl bed in my teenage girl room in my house where my parents are protecting me.

I think this might be the blockage, because in my day to day life I’m not someone who takes risks. In fact, I avoid any situation that might cause me to feel any sort of strong emotions because I’m scared I’ll explode.

I was thinking that maybe a way to solve this is to get over my fears of real life in this reality. Like going out more, maybe actually telling people things I want to tell them, doing things I want to do. Because maybe if I can get over my fear of this life, I’ll feel ready to live another.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk 😛🤗🤭

Guys do you think my emotional instability is what is keeping me from shifting?

Because I feel like I know what to do but I’m just not doing it.

Like I lay down and I feel like I’m supposed to do something and I keep getting intrusive thoughts about anything but shifting.

And I try to do a guided meditation but I just zone out. I’m not diagnosed with anything like adhd so I don’t know why that happens.

Could be because I’m so used to overthinking everything.

Anyone have a tips for not overthinking stuff? I feel like that’s my biggest blockage, I just think too much.

I used to be proud about thinking too much but now I’m starting to feel like it’s working against me.

Also the fact that I’m wanting to shift so badly, I feel like it’s not exactly making me not shift, but I feel like me wanting it so much is telling my brain that it’s not something I already have.

something today that reaffirmed my belief that shifting is real :)

i was babysitting the sweetest little girl and her brother earlier today and the girl and I were talking about dreams and such. She's five, by the way. We're chatting and she suddenly tells me "I don't actually sleep much at night because I spend the night fighting in battles". I laughed and said "oh like in your imagination?" (stupid of me to assume that but whatever) and she replied very firmly, "no, no". So I ask her again, if maybe she meant she has dreams about fighting in battles, and she says "no, not dreaming, It's real". She was so sure about her answer. So I ask her, what is it that you fight? She started telling me about these insect-shaped monsters, showed me the size of them and described how she fought them in the streets at night. Then when she finally wins the battle, she can actually sleep. Her brother came into conversation so we stopped talking about it but multiple children I've babysat or talked to always tell me about these sort of stories. They always make it very clear that it's not a dream, that it's different.I feel like children, who barely have any limiting beliefs, can very easily slip out of reality as they wish. english is not my first language so maybe I didn't explain it really well but ugh the synchronicities are crazy
