Something I wonder about Simon and Betty's relationship is how long they were together before the whole crown ordeal. But they were engaged, you say. My aunt (in)famously met my uncle and had a ring on her finger in 8 weeks. We've seen that both Betty and Simon were both weird outcasts, crazy determined and a pinch insane. I would not be surprised if they decided they'd met their one true love and got engaged super quick.
My point being, Betty's shifting to revolve around Simon and Simon's rose colored glasses of their relationship feels very much like New Love. They're people who love each other and love being a couple but still haven't quite figured out how to coexist together, as two people in a partnership. I feel like if they'd known each other longer, lived together longer, some of the issues we're seeing would have probably self resolved.
I don't think their relationship is toxic nor is it totally perfect. It's two lonely, most likely neurodivergent people in a relatively early relationship still figuring out how it works. Everything that happened afterwards: the crown, the seperation, the time travel, the magic/madness/sadness just exemplified issues they had both as individuals and as a couple.

maybe this is a lil controversial, but i feel like as a community we just need to... just stop thinking that stuff we read about shifting is bible, if that makes sense.
you can read advice and follow it, of course!! following advice is great, but shifting is built on the principle of intention and you're own mind. nothing governs that but yourself.
there are no rules, you can do whatever you want, just set your intention.
you don't need a safe word, because if you set the intention you will come back to your cr.
you don't need to script beause if you set an intention of what you want to happen, it will.
as long as you have the intention to shift somewhere, you will. that's as simple as it is, that's the basic principle.

what's grace's reflection like?
it is, maybe, a little dull but grace is a little dull Very Normal so it's fitting i think,,,anyway his reflection is just him, but frozen (ha) at the moment of murdering the guy in the arctic
so, scraggly, haunted, bearded, covered in blood, very frostbitten. also probably cold enough to give You frostbite if you could touch it. makes the area around it slightly frosty bc Cold Aura. borderline frozen corpse looking guy
grace sees himself as a terrible murderer & no better than he was at thr moment of killing & butchering a guy so it'd make sense for that to be reflected,,,but the reflection isn't mocking him in any way & it isn't violent or cruel or Bad at all, even if that's what grace thinks about himself.
i think if you talk to the reflection itself, it holds the total opposite feelings to grace. it's covered in blood, yes, but it knows the murder was for survival, out of fear, and that no, of course everything going wrong wasn't just grace's fault. it just wants him to move past it & heal & forgive himself, even if he can't undo what already happened
