when will people realize that the answer will always, ALWAYS BE THE SAME . IT WILL ALWAYS BE “AFFIRM, DECIDE, PERSIST”. It will ALWAYS be just assume. like there won’t be different steps for different things??? it doesn’t matter what the hell your circumstances are, or what you’re trying to manifest; it will ALWAYS be affirm decide persist. all the posts you see on here are just reworded and recycled versions of “just assume”. like ALL of them share the same message. stop actively searching for something more like you need more for it to “click” and apply to the information you’ve been given and repeated multiple times. it really is that easy, let go of that belief that everything costs effort and make the law work in YOUR favor however you want.

can i request a burger for regulus with this prompt? ⋆ “no, it’s okay, you don’t have to leave - i don’t mind changing in front of you.”

yes of course! i've been loving getting requests for regulus, i've been meaning to write for him for a long time!

jolie's summer kickoff a 𝐛𝐮𝐫𝐠���𝐫 fresh off the grill ⋮ aka a short blurb contains: regulus black x reader, fluff ‪‪

Regulus is a very guarded individual, and you’re the only person who’s ever managed to chip through his walls.

Bit by bit, he opened up to you. At first, he didn’t trust you. When he started to care for you, he was afraid to lose you. But you were persistent in the gentlest way, and he found himself letting you into his heart.

Even after you started dating, there were still ways in which Regulus kept to himself. Being vulnerable with you is something that scared him, and sometimes still does.

Physical affection, for one, didn’t come easily to him, and public displays of it are completely off the table.

It was especially hard for him to communicate his emotions at first. He’s used to bottling it all up, dealing with it (or not dealing with it) internally.

Slowly, he found as much comfort in your touch as in your presence, and with you, conversation came with a kind of ease he wasn’t used to.

Only recently did he start sleeping in the same bed as you. The first time happened when you had been up late studying for an exam. You were both so tired, on the verge of falling asleep over your textbooks.

When you started getting up to leave, he snaked his hand around your wrist, pulling you back to him. “Stay,” he murmured, voice thick with tiredness and a longing to be close to you.

Tonight, you’re sitting on his bed, admiring him as he busies himself with small tasks around his room. He’s straightening his desk, shelving new books—just finishing up a few odds and ends.

He moves to his wardrobe, pulling out some pyjamas. You move to leave to give him some privacy.

Without even looking up, he says, “It’s okay, you don’t have to leave.”

You freeze in place, halfway off his bed. It’s like he can sense your uncertainty, because he looks over his shoulder at you and adds, “I don’t mind changing in front of you.”

Slowly, you settle back onto his bed, crossing your legs like they were before. It always catches you off guard when he so casually invites you into moments he once kept to himself.

In these moments, you suddenly become the one who holds their breath, uncertainties curling in your chest. You don’t know where to look, or rather, where he wants you to. Eyes fixed on the sheets of his bed, you sit frozen, biting the inside of your cheek.

You hear him pad across the room, crossing over to you. The shirt he was wearing hangs in his grasp now, his chest bare to you. With his free hand, he lifts your chin to place an unhurried kiss on your lips.

“We’re alright,” he says, brushing his hand over the side of your head as he straightens back up. A reassurance that serves you both.

He finishes changing and crawls into bed with you, pulling you into his chest. Your head rests right over his heart, and the steady thrum of his heart soothes you to sleep soon after.

Megumi taking care of you in your periods<3

Megumi had zero idea about periods.

Sure, he’d seen some cotton-y stuff labeled “pads” in Tsumiki’s closet once or twice, and yeah, there were those awkward tampon commercials that showed up in the middle of his YouTube videos sometimes, but that was the full extent of his knowledge. Periods weren’t something he thought about. Not until now.

You’re curled up in Megumi’s bed, tucked under his blanket with your legs entangled with his, half-watching the movie and half-listening to his steady breathing. It’s peaceful—until he frowns, his voice flat and confused.

“You’re bleeding.”

Your heart drops. You immediately roll off the bed, twisting to look at where he was staring, and sure enough—your period decided to make an uninvited appearance right now, and all over his very white sheets. “…Shit.”

Your face heats up as you scratch the back of your neck, avoiding his gaze. “Umm… I just got my period. Sorry, I’ll wash the sheets for you.”

Megumi blinks at you. Stares. Then slowly nods. “…Okay.”

He turns his head away, and you’re already rifling through your bag in mild panic. No pads. Of course there are no pads—you weren’t due until next week. Your clothes are stained, you can’t go out like this, and you feel the telltale wet warmth growing between your thighs again.

You glance at him, unsure, scared. He catches that look in an instant. Megumi’s on his feet before you can say another word.

“You need something?” You nod quickly. “Yeah, I… I don’t have any pads. It’s urgent and—”

You don’t even get to finish. He’s already grabbing his wallet, pulling on his jacket, and muttering, “Five minutes.” The door shuts behind him, and you stand frozen for a beat before hurrying to the bathroom, using tissues to clean yourself up in the meantime.

True to his word, he’s back in five—maybe even less. He doesn’t say a thing, just hands you a plastic bag full of stuff and retreats to the couch with his hood pulled over his face, sulking like he just committed a federal crime.

You open the bag and pause.

Pads. Tampons. Menstrual cups. Wipes. Painkillers. Chocolates. A pair of panties. A ridiculous cat printed sweats. Everything. He must’ve googled “what do girls need on their period” and panic-bought everything on the list because he didn’t know what exactly you’d want and was too shy to ask.

Your heart melts.

When you step out of the bathroom, fresh and finally feeling human again, you find the bed has fresh sheets now—soft blue ones this time—and Megumi’s already settled back in his previous position, like nothing happened. The spot next to him is warm and waiting for you.

You crawl onto the bed and pounce on him.

“Oof—hey—what the hell—?” He’s all gruff and grumpy again, but you’re already rubbing your cheek against his like a happy kitten, smiling ear to ear. “Gumi~ I love you~ You’re so sweet and nice and the best boyfriend ever~”

He turns red under the hoodie and grumbles something, barely audible,“…I love you too.”

　𝜗𝜚　my method for shifting every time i try　.

(　✶　)　there is no method !

okay, fine, there is a method, but it's going to disappoint everyone who thinks shifting requires some elaborate forest ritual and affirmations repeated exactly 111 times while facing magnetic north. here's my earth – shattering, revolutionary process ( /s ) :

first, i sometimes visualize — and i mean sometimes, because half the time i can't be bothered and it works anyway. i used to use alunir's adhd method as a guide for this, and while i don't follow it religiously anymore, it might be fun or helpful for those of you who need somewhere to start! when i do visualize, it's not some cinematic masterpiece playing in my head with perfect lighting and orchestral scoring. i'm not painting the sistine chapel of shifting scenarios. it's just enough sensory detail to make my desired reality feel more solid and immediate than whatever surface i'm lying on. the scent of coffee that isn't the tesco espresso capsules sitting in my kitchen. the weight and texture of clothes that fit my body differently. voices i want to hear calling my name. get a little delusional with it if you have to. imagine whatever you want. whatever works for you.

second, i assume i'm already there — not hope with desperate fingers crossed, not try with gritted teeth and white knuckles, not attempt to convince myself through sheer force of will. i assume it the way i assume the sun will rise tomorrow, with a bone – deep certainty that doesn't require proof, validation, or a peer review study. it's not a belief i have to maintain or a thought i have to think really hard — it's just a fact that exists in my reality now. don’t give yourself a headache.

third, i'm there, because i was never actually anywhere else to begin with.

that's it. that's the whole method. three steps that aren't really steps because they all happen simultaneously in the space between one breath and the next, like recognizing something that was always true. the visualization is purely optional — it's just training wheels for your assumption, something to help your mind grab onto the reality you know is yours. think of it like the ramp that helps you get onto the motorway, useful but not the destination itself. but the assumption? that's where the real work happens. that's where you stop negotiating with doubt. this is the part that breaks people's brains and sends them spiralling off into reddit comment sections: you don't shift to your desired reality. you realize you're already there and stop pretending you're somewhere else. you stop performing the exhausting theatre of being stuck. every time you worry about whether you've shifted yet, every time you check for symptoms like you're diagnosing yourself with a condition, every time you analyze your awareness like you're conducting a scientific experiment on your own consciousness, you're reinforcing the assumption that you're still stuck here, still separate from where you want to be.

i hope this is helpful, and i'd be happy to elaborate on anything here if needed <3 but seriously, go shift !

ik we love the trope of James finding regulus as a cat and fussing over him and thinking he's adorable. But may I suggest...

regulus adopts a cat right before his fifth year and brings it to hogwarts. James finds him one day roaming around and starts taking care of him too so James just decides the cat is a stray and claims him as his own. Until Regulus sees James holding him in the hall one day.

"Potter get your paws off of my cat!"

"your cat? Fluff is my cat."

"no he's not. I adopted him. And his name isn't Fluff, it's Cepheus." (cepheus is a constellation + figure in greek mythology)

They fight about it for ages until Sirius comes along and forces them to co-parent the cat. And then they fall in loveeeeeee

Lily: what do you want from five guys?

James: nothing! Why would you ask that? I love Regulus, I’d never want five guys

Lily: I-

James: furthermore I can’t believe that you of all people are asking me this Lily Evans I am shocked and appalled at you

Lily: James-

Sirius: if he doesn’t want the five guys, I’ll take them

James: honestly it’s like you people don’t even know me!

Lily: leaves and comes back 30 minutes later with a bag of fries, a burger and a milkshake

James: where’s my food?

Lily: I asked if you wanted anything from five guys and you decided to go on a rant about how loyal you are to Reg

James:

Sirius:

Lily:

James: well you really could’ve made that more clear

Sirius: so there aren’t actually five guys??

i shifted

i used to think shifting had to feel like something/that it had to be dramatic or full of signs. what actually worked was letting go of the idea that i had to earn it. this is such an IMPORTANT reminder yall.

i stopped trying to “attempt” and started assuming that i shift every single time. no exceptions. no doubts. just trust. it came from things i already knew how to do: lucid dreaming, dropping into the void, daydreaming etc. instead of visualizing everything perfectly, i started feeling it: textures, temperatures. i let music play softly in the background, counted slowly, and told myself truths .

“i’m already there.”

“this is where i belong.”

and my fav: “im finally back home”

i came to realize that every shift was just me going home and this was MY push and MY key. i didn’t have to drop a coin into a magic wishing well to be there. i wasn’t NEW to that reality because it was always mine.

constantly assuming that i “return home” every time i sleep literally made it come true. it’s my fav “method” and its what feels most natural.

how i woke up

i woke up to my bedsheets and the sun lighting up my whole room exactly how i scripted it. the exact pajamas i had written down. the softness of the fabric, the way the light hit the walls. i didn’t even have to question it. of course my first move was to look in the mirror. i wanted to see it with my own eyes and i did. it was me and felt natural. i only spent a few mins wandering in my room and i shifted back here.

when shifters say “let go and let it catch up with you” they’re being fr.

persistence is the only real work.  

“persist in the assumption that your desire is already fulfilled.” — neville goddard

this is it. this is the whole thing. you don’t have to “make” it happen. you don’t have to manipulate circumstances or micromanage the bridge of events. you persist. you occupy the state of the wish fulfilled and you stay there. if you fall out, you go back in. that’s the work.

this isn’t about being obsessive or repeating affirmations 24/7,  unless that genuinely helps you stay loyal to the state. persistence means you hold the inner conviction. you already are. you already have. it is already done.

the outer world doesn’t show it yet? doesn’t matter. your only job is to remain faithful to the unseen. “your assumptions, conscious or unconscious, direct all thought and action to their fulfillment.” (neville)

the 3D… it is the echo. the shadow. the printout. so when you let the 3D shake you, you’re reacting to the echo instead of staying with the sound.

don’t underestimate how much mental discipline this takes. not because it’s hard, but because we’ve been trained to believe the outer world is more real than our imagination. “man, thinking from the end, is the cause of the end.” that’s your real power. not wishing. assuming.

assume it’s done. and when your mind wanders? bring it back. when doubts come? remind yourself: this is just a reflection. not the truth. not the final say. you are the operant power. you decide what is real. and the only thing that makes it real is your persistence.

“a change of feeling is a change of destiny.” that means you shift your inner stance and stay there. even if the world hasn’t caught up yet, you stay in the feeling of already being the version of you who has it. that’s the only work.

this is why neville always said imagining creates reality, not imagining and hoping. not imagining and checking. not imagining and wondering why it’s not here yet. imagine it and persist. your assumption hardens into fact through your continued loyalty to it.

don’t confuse persistence with effort. you’re not pushing. you’re dwelling. you’re returning again and again and again and again to the inner knowing: it’s done. i am. i have. this is who i am now.

the people who “get results” are not special. they’re just the ones who stopped giving up halfway. they didn’t treat their imagination like a test. they treated it like truth. they persisted. and the world had no choice but to follow.
