#its validating and affirming and motivating

[caraecethrae]

great tip for intermediate practitioners:

start a journal of your own practice and UPG. not a log, though that is very useful – but it should already be part of your practice if it's been a few years.

instead, keep a journal into your own insights. little "aha" moments that click different things into place. don't just jot those down, include what made you realize and what is your plan to do with that information. it can be very brief, its the long-term collection of this that can be incredibly affirming to look back on.

REASSURANCE post

feel like you failed 2024? because you wasted all your time scrolling instead of applying? well i’m gonna be straightforward with you in this post even thought its meant to help you feel better. in 2025 what YOU are going to stop doing is stop constantly looking for answers and you are going to start applying with what the information you have already and use that to manifest everything you want. idc if you have to robotically affirm or chant to whoever you believe in TAKE action already! no more crying, no more saying “ugh idm ill just shift anyway” no more procrastinating NO MORE LOOKING FOR ANSWERS. the only reason majority of you guys manifested NOTHING this year was:

you kept procrastinating

you were definitely being lazy

yes you were constantly reacting to the 3D

you seek validation from the 3D

you have a victim mindset

gross..!!! you are NOT entering 2025 like that! if its new years eve for you then you still have a chance to make things right for yourself, you absolutely can induce pure consciousness before the clock hits 12:00 YES YOU CAN YES YOU CAN. BUTT back to the main point of this post. REASSURANCE

you are okay, you are not a failure and no 2025 will not fail you, dust yourself off and wipe your tears you are not the only one struggling i promise. there are tons of people in this community with the lack of understanding and desperately needing answers like you but now its time to rid of that victimization mentality. you are GOD and if you don’t like that term then you are the CREATOR. remember please remember the 3D is dead, the 4D is the true reality. you were born with the most powerful gifts ever; IMAGINATION, AFFIRMATIONS. use your gifts to your advantage, you are not unlucky, you are not unworthy. acknowledge what you are not bringing in 2025 and let go of everything holding you back. yes you can manifest with terrible circumstances, yes you can induce pure consciousness at any time anywhere. QUIT looking at success stories for motivation. it brings jealousy and doubts. and why are you dependent on motivation?? its called discipline.

bring your 2025 shit you never thought you can ever have, do it for your name, do it for yourself, do it for the experiences you wish to have, do it for fun, do it stressed out, do it when you’re bored. MANIFESTING IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. if it feels like a chore then you’re doing it wrong, if you have to force yourself to affirm you’re doing it wrong.

LAW OF ASSUMPTION: assuming what you want to be true without the validation of the 3D (basically without proof). You affirm and then you decide you have it. Manifestation is not a process.

PURE CONSCIOUSNESS: only aware of the 4D just forget about the 3D.

hope to see plenty of success stories this year.

sometimes i remember percy being called Weatherby and like its kinda funny but its oddly saddening??

like call me crazy but i feel like it only adds to that sense of disconnect and feeling of estrangement from his own familial identity

in a sense it mocks that motivation for percy to make it in the ministry in spite of his family’s reputation, but not without it, if that makes sense?? percy was never not proud of his last name, and i feel as if that steps on that ambition to make it respected because he’s always wanted the best for his family

but he’s denied that respect and is continually mocked for his identity (or lack of living up to it) wherever he goes

he isn’t weasley enough for his family — the uncaring, pratty, perfectionist, rule-following, unathletic wayward son, he doesn’t quite fit in with the loud, passionate and sporty brood.

he’s quieter, prefers reading etc etc, and it causes a disconnect because his family don’t quite get it, or get him. (i.e percy’s struggle with social cues (i can relate))

and being a weasley is seemingly valueless in the eyes of the ministry — they only need pureblooded, pliable, diligent percy, they have no use for the connotations of the ideologies that come with the weasley family name, he’s “better” without it, after all.

this separation and even affirmations of it from his own familial identity, this lack of recognition of him being a weasley really cements this lack of belonging from the beginning, like it’s own self-fulfilling prophecy, even before he is encouraged to discard his familial relations.

because i was looking back on it and i was like “huh, nobody really seems to actually validate percy as a weasley as much?? and in some of the smaller things they say, it implies that percy isn’t quite one of them.. that would probably affect percy mentally”

like percy is often accused as well for not caring despite quite literally showing caring behaviour by his OWN siblings — it just alienates him as if he isn’t quite one of them!! to his siblings, he seems to be this “distant” character, despite being next to them, it’s like he’s much further away 💔

its a wonder people blame percy for leaving when it was carved from the beginning that percy never quite fit into the mould, and that had to hurt, and honestly it would make sense if part of his ambitions for the ministry and perfection derived from trying to fill in that gap and compensate, as if trying to earn the weasleys respect would somehow finally make him recognisable as one — like “isn’t that the weasley who became minister for magic” kind of sense

like yeah, he definitely has confidence in himself but i feel like this lack of belonging in such a big family is something that was essentially there from the beginning, and only worsened by literally everyone

also just wanting his parents to be proud of him, like, ive always thought a small part of the ministry ambition was because his father worked there, and in a sense something he might have hoped to bond over? like i wouldve been hurt too

daniel larusso dating hcs

warnings: not beta or proof read

lets you ride on the back of his bike. hes not opposed to taking you to and from places in the slightest—he’ll even encourage you to loop your arms around his waist (so you dont get hurt, of course. totally not because it makes him giddy.)

passes you notes during class. they usually consist of trivial observations and invitations to go out; he might ask for answers, if youre covering a topic hes particularly bad at.

his love language is physical touch and words of affirmation. he reassures and compliments you daily, keeps his hands on you whenever he physically can.

hes especially fond of kissing your cheek, for some unknown reason. he does it as both a greeting and farewell—its a bit of a ritual between you.

shows off his karate once he starts making notable progress. he enjoys the validation, finds that it motivates him further.

asks you to accompany him to prom. he places a lot of effort into his proposal—finds a pretty spot by the shore, buys your favourite flowers, puts together a small poster, etc.

wins you the prizes at local fairs/golf n’ stuff. you have more than a few stuffed animals from him compiled in your closet—he likes to call them your ‘children’.

hesitant to open up about the situation with johnny. he doesnt want to worry you; if you mention it, he’ll brush it off and insist its not a big deal. even when it shows, through blood and bruises and whatnot, he denies it.

[mori-alborada]

It’s hard to stop thinking, so let’s talk a bit about whether Snape betrayed anyone.

From J.K. Rowling’s narrative perspective, Snape’s storyline logic is actually very clear, and from beginning to end, he never truly “betrayed” anyone. Setting aside the boundary between light and dark, did Snape himself ever take actions that could be considered “betrayal”? To analyze this, we must consider his motives, purposes, and action logic. At this point, we won’t judge whether Dumbledore or Voldemort were right or wrong; instead, we’ll focus on the circumstances within Snape’s individual actions.

First, let’s look at Snape’s foundational motives for joining the Death Eaters, which can be categorized into three forms of “loss of agency,” all of which are either directly or indirectly mentioned in Rowling’s books or interviews.

1. Loss of agency in family life: Like Harry Potter, Snape grew up in a toxic home environment, marked by his parents’ conflicts and his father’s behavior. Within this struggle, he gradually lost the sense of affirmation that comes from simply existing—a feeling of being grounded in reality. This deprived him of a basic ability to judge right from wrong and fueled a longing to attach himself to powerful organizations and their symbols.

2. Loss of agency with Lily Evans: The term “loss of agency” here is in quotation marks because, while Snape and Lily shared an equal social standing, their emotional bond was unbalanced. It’s undeniable that Snape’s feelings for Lily were far more intense than hers for him. When Snape tried to assert control (as a compensatory mechanism for his earlier loss of agency) by saying, “I won’t let you…,” Lily firmly rejected him. In this moment, Snape’s loss of agency wasn’t just emotional—it was transformative. The emotional intensity that had once driven him outward and sought control instead began to collapse inward. We can call this process “love.” However, Snape didn’t understand this until after he had already lost Lily. This loss reshaped his personality, curbing his emotional expansiveness. At the same time, it deepened his desire for self-validation, reinforcing his admiration for the power and symbolism of strong organizations.

3. Loss of agency through bullying in school: The constant bullying Snape endured, which ultimately targeted his sense of personal dignity, led him to conflate signifier and signified, aligning himself with the complete meaning of the Death Eaters’ symbol. This alignment allowed him to feel like a member of a truly powerful, fearsome organization, beyond the contempt of others. This ties into Rowling’s 2007 interview where she referred to Snape’s life as a “tragedy.” Snape joined the Death Eaters not because he inherently believed in Voldemort’s vision, but as a way to reclaim his lost agency. He saw the Death Eaters’ power as a means of asserting his own psychological sovereignty, reconciling the signifier and signified in a way that aligned with his sense of self.

From these three motives, we can deduce that Snape’s purpose in joining the Death Eaters was not entirely about Voldemort’s talents or ideology. The anchor point was Lily Evans, not a belief in Voldemort’s cause. Simultaneously, Snape sought to find a new balance—one where he could reclaim his personal sovereignty and avoid the complete erosion of his sense of self. At its core, his loyalty to Voldemort was deceptive; he believed that he “owned” the situation and could use it to guide his own narrative. In a sense, Voldemort’s influence on Snape was positive, not in terms of morality, but in reinforcing Snape’s pursuit of self-completion. However, Snape never fully accepted Voldemort’s ideology.

Now, regarding his action logic: did Snape betray himself? Comparing him to Peter Pettigrew, who betrayed the Marauders and his own principles, Snape never truly betrayed Voldemort because, from the outset, he was never genuinely loyal to him. Even when Voldemort agreed to spare Lily’s life, offering to trade her husband and child for her, Snape still turned to Dumbledore. This plea wasn’t about possessing Lily; it was about wanting her to live, even if it meant she would have children with someone he despised. His foremost concern was her survival.

Looking at Snape’s actions in this light, it’s evident that he never betrayed himself. His internal conflict stemmed from the extremes of light and dark he constantly faced. To Snape, nobility or baseness was never the true value metric. His decisions were shaped by his family background, social environment, personal experiences, and identity. Ultimately, under Dumbledore’s guidance, Snape underwent a process of self-reconstruction, reclaiming his agency.

In the end, Snape’s reclamation of his self-ownership came through the possibility of redemption by honoring his promises, even at great personal cost. By the later stages of his life, he began questioning Dumbledore’s unilateral actions. Despite his respect for Dumbledore, Snape believed he had the right to intervene, protect, or remove harmful influences on others—an assertion of his reclaimed dignity and selfhood.

Snape did not betray his heart, which is why he had the right to ask, “And my soul, Dumbledore? Mine? ”

*clears throat and puts on a tv commercial voice*

are you someone who's tired of sitting in the sidelines of their life? someone who feels as hopeless towards shifting & loa as izuku midoriya once was to becoming a her?o (btw, mha is a PEAK anime idc what yall say) someone who feels like they are at the odds of NEVER gets results no matter what they try? well you are in LUCK!! after going through *ANOTHER* mental health crisis, i d̶e̶s̶i̶g̶n̶e̶d̶ revamped the 75 hard challenge.

welcome to the 75 hard challenge with a loa twist, crafted by urs truly (me...its me!). So first of all, i get it, sometimes the law of assumption feels like its outside your grasp, that its handing out cupcakes to everyone, looks you in the face and gives the cupcake to the next person. I just want to remind you that this is a VALID FEELING, but just because you are feeling that way, doesn't necessarily mean its true.

So i made this challenge for those who are looking towards a last resort before completely "giving up" on the loa. You can use this as a "prep day" if you'd like. Find 3-5 posts from someone who has ur "desired way of manifesting" (i say this because everyone has a different perception of manifesting and stuff) and you are gonna screenshot/print & stick it on ur bedroom/tattoo each word onto ur arm, I DUNNO!! wherever you can easily come back to it for motivation or whatever. I personally really recommend @itsrlymine because their posts rlly helped me shape my mindset around manifestation & remind me that manifesting is simply deciding and THATS IT.

Now for the next 75 days, you are gonna truly embody being whatever + having whatever you want. No ifs, no stinky buts, no strawberry-flavoured coconuts. You are gonna live + think as someone who has what u want (because u do) & you are definitely not gonna rely on the 3D to "check" whether u have it or not. Whenever you find yourself checking, remind yourself "why would i need to check what is already mine".

If you wanna do a method/listening to affirmation tapes/subs daily then its honestly up to YOU!! personalise the law of assumption because no matter what u do or use or whatever, it will always be you manifesting and you will always manifest whatever you want.

Obviously, if the 3D gets overwhelming or whatever, u are allowed to have ur emotions. Don't think "having what i want = i have to be positive 24/7" because you can be sad and still be sadly shaking ur ass on ur yatch. Remember that these emotions are temporary and have no influence on ur reality/manifestations.

"So @girlygraphics, what happens after the 75 days??" its up to you. You can decide to keep living ur dream life or whatever, its UP TO YOU!! Also i would like to remind yall just because this is called the 75 days challenge, doesnt mean it will take u 75 days to get what u want. As soon as you decide its yours, its yours. No waiting times, no bs, no time gaps. Simply decide its urs.

i simply redesigned this challenge to motivate myself and others that reality is malleable as fawk and that you will always be the one in control <3

mwah ^_^

[pellowinksx]

HI GIRLIEE i started following you recently, and i have some questions if you could pleasee answer them <3

so im manifesting something like really "big" like moving to a completely different continent, and starting an entirely diff life, and even appearance changes. and i have like a limiting belief that its going to take time and its not instant, and idk how to get rid of that. bc im kind of on a time crunch and i want to believe that manifesting all that life changing stuff is instant and can be done in less than a day.

what are your thoughts on that lovely?? (also i LOVE you and I'd be glad if you could give me your advice on this)

HI BABYYYY I LOVE YOU TOO 🤍🤍

Okay first of all, i can do two things for you.

1. Manifestation doesn’t take time however eliminating your limiting beliefs can.

you believe manifesting takes time so you saturate that it doesn’t and then that’s what will take the small bit of time. it honestly just depends on your assumption.

Twoooo Write down some rules for yourself! here’s an example of mine:

(note: this is how i SATURATE with a new belief not how i casually manifest)

so you can saturate and affirm that it takes less than a day to manifest anything. Ditch 3D 4D terms, and just accept whatever you assume manifests within a day or less.

Some affirmations you can use:

“i manifest instantly”

“i manifest correctly”

“i manifest within a day or less”

“everything works out for me”

When you feel fulfilled by that you can finally just affirm

“i have everything i want”

“i am living my dream life”

I also when i’m bored like to save pinterest boards of my desired thing and affirm that i took those pictures it’s super fun when you find yourself looking for outside validation. And some tips to help you;

Checking the 3D just means checking your current assumption, that should motivate you to change it.

Nothing ruins your manifestation even if you reaffirm your old story it because we manifest with states, what we are constantly thinking manifests not just a quick thought.

Happy manifesting! 🤍✨

I’m a 15 years old girl and my parents are very homophobic

Today my mom made me sat down because she thinks that I wanna turn into a boy and she told me for my old sis to also come downstairs to talk about it cause they found it weird mind you they’re very religious

After my big sis came downstairs my mom started talking about how I act like a boy when I’m a girl also that God made me a girl so why would I try to change into a girl and also said that if I keep acting like this she would take all my electronics

And send me somewhere else where I won’t see her and my siblings ever again

I’m crying so much because I did everything to change myself to become normal like others straight but nothing works and I found out that I want to be a boy I tried everything like manifesting being a man nothing it working and circumstances keeps getting worse and worse till the point it making me depressed like maybe I’m stuck this way maybe I will never be a man

I’m so scared cause she said if I don’t change I will not have access to phone I’m having a bad breakdown rn idk what to do anymore I’m so lost

But part of me still believes I’m a man no matter what

Hello, before I give you LOA advice let's talk

You ARE a man. You are a man. You are a man.

You are a man no matter what.

You don't have to do anything to be a man. It's who you are deep down in the pit of your soul. You already are a man.

Not just in an LOA sense, I'm saying this from a non-manifesting perspective: you are not a girl.

You will never be a girl, you never were. Do you understand that? Who you are as a person is a man.

I'm like you.

It's ok to be a trans. Being trans is normal. Half my friends are trans, I'm trans. You aren't alone, you aren't the only one. There is nothing wrong with you.

Firstly I would like to say, always always always prioritize your safety and well-being.

I know it's easier said than done but the closet exists for a reason. It keeps us safe. Do not come out if it would put you in danger. You do not have to be out to be valid.

I hate that my advice is to fawn and pretend to be something you're not, but its safest sometimes.

It feels so far away now, but there will be a time when you are free to be who you are. You will find people who support you. You will find people who are like you. When I was in your place 18 felt so far away and unreachable, but it's not. Freedom will come. Please hold on.

Link to The Trevor project. (Councilors and hotline for queer people who are struggling mentally)

Loa

At the end there will be a handful of LOA posts I think you should read/you might be interested in + subliminals for you. The most important one in my opinion being the one I list first.

The law gets over complicated alot. At the end of the day it boils down to this.

An assumption, though false, if persisted in will harden into fact.

An assumption being something you accept as the truth without needing evidence and persistence meaning you assume regardless of what the 3D shows you.

Essentially, you decide you have your desire and you are stubborn in that decision.

It's ok to feel intense emotions, it's ok to be scared and hurt and frustrated, you just have to assume that no matter what the physical world shows you you are undeniably biologically male.

There is no more advice to give, there is only the law. Assume, affirm, persist.

The posts

TLDR: Manifestation bridges the 4D and 3D realms, where all desires are already fulfilled in the 4D. Your task is to choose your desires, and trust the 3D will align to bring them to you, though it may take time. Be patient and trust that the 3D will manifest your desires in its own way. You need only to know that your desire is already yours and avoid stressing over how it will appear. Affirmations are unnecessary if you truly believe. Focus on trusting yourself and allowing the process to unfold naturally.

๋ ࣭ ⭑

Manifestation serves as a bridge, as it were, between the 4D and the 3D realms. In the 4D, all things have already transpired; one merely chooses one's desires from it. The 3D, however, operates under different principles, sometimes requiring time for one's manifestations to materialize. This delay does not negate the truth of your desires. One's task is simply to decide what is desired, and the 3D will align accordingly. Patience with the 3D is paramount. The passage of days, weeks, or even months does not diminish the reality of your manifestation. Mountains will, quite literally, move, and reality itself will shift to bring your desires to fruition. Trust in this process and in the creative collaboration between your 4D self and the 3D realm.

The manner in which it manifests is not your concern. Though you may exercise the power to dictate its manifestation, why burden yourself when your subconscious knows precisely how to bring your desires into reality? Why limit the arrival of your desires to a singular outcome when there are infinite possibilities, and your subconscious will select the most suitable one? This is the essence of letting go. It does not mean relinquishing your desire or the aspiration to experience it in the 3D. After all, the purpose of manifesting is to experience one's desires and the intensity of your longing is a testament to the truth that you are meant to experience it.

Concern yourself not with how it will materialize in your life. Your sole responsibility is to acknowledge that your desire is already yours. Affirmations serve merely as reminders and, in truth, are unnecessary if you truly believe your desire is fulfilled. Reflect upon your affirmations. Do you repeat them incessantly out of a sense of desperation, as though you lack your desire? This was once my predicament. Certainly it is possible to be conditioned thus: there are infinite methods of manifestation, and I shall not claim any to be ineffective. If you believe your desire is already yours, it matters not how vehemently you assert it.

Instead, I encourage to adopt a more discerning approach. Meditate and introspect. What do you genuinely believe? What inhibits your progress? For me, seeking validation in the 3D caused wavering. I did not trust myself. Trust yourself. Allow the 3D to take its course. That is all that remains after creating something so perfect. Do not rush it, do not doubt it. Silence your doubts. Cease seeking answers. This is the appropriate moment for affirmation: when doubts or uncertainties, spurred by your ego, arise. You are not these doubts; you are divine.

Happy manifesting,

I am well aware that this may be a regurgitation of information frequently reiterated, yet I wish to present my own perspective and have it duly recorded for my personal encouragement and motivation.

[askgildaseniors]

Rejection is common for artists of all genres, including visual artists, musicians, actors, and other creative people. Artists learn to accept and negotiate the continual flow of 'no's' throughout their careers. While regular rejection might be disappointing, it can also serve as a motivator, shaping resilience and resolve. Understanding that rejection is a natural part of the process allows artists to stay focused on their creative vision and pursue their passions in the face of setbacks.

Zachary Aronson emphasizes the distinctiveness of his art, which stands out as an uncommon quality in a sector where it can feel like everything has already been done. This peculiarity has helped him earn more affirmative responses than imagined. A distinct artistic voice can benefit significantly in a saturated market where originality is difficult. It distinguishes the artist from their colleagues and attracts attention and opportunities that others whose work conforms to established trends may miss out on.

For many artists, pursuing originality can be both difficult and inspiring. The pressure to produce something new and unusual drives artists to experiment, take chances, and venture into uncharted territory with their work. This process of innovation is critical for personal and professional development and can result in the discovery of new approaches, styles, and viewpoints. Furthermore, when an artist's work is recognized for its distinctiveness, it validates their efforts and strengthens their faith in their creative ability. Zachary's inspirational journey and achievement demonstrate the power of individuality and the value of adhering to one's artistic vision.

Finally, an artist's journey is characterized by a careful balance of perseverance and originality. Accepting the likelihood of rejection while working to develop something unique can lead to new possibilities and success. Artists can overcome obstacles and get acclaim in their area by remaining true to their artistic vision and always pushing the boundaries of their creativity. This approach not only improves their artistic practice but also adds to the larger cultural environment by offering new and unique works of art. Zachary's motivational approach and dedication to his craft inspire other artists, urging them to persevere in their creative pursuits and believe in the originality of their work.

A Reflection on Submission: The Duality of Motive By Dark-RX

Submission is a topic both tantalizing and profoundly misunderstood. Too often, it’s cast in monochrome, reduced to a simplistic dynamic of “one leads, the other follows,” when in truth, it is a kaleidoscope of motives, desires, and emotional undercurrents. If there’s anything my practice in behavioral psychology and refined indulgence has taught me, it’s that the foundation of true dominance lies not in outward theatrics but in understanding these nuanced layers of surrender.

In my interactions over the years—through consults, seminars, and certain, shall we say, more intimate engagements—I’ve observed a striking dichotomy among submissive women. Some find motivation in their longing to please their partner: the gratification that blooms when they earn his approval, the rush of delight when they see his satisfaction written on his face. Others, however, submit in service of their own intrinsic need—a deep-seated compulsion to yield, to be guided, and to touch that visceral sense of total surrender. Both approaches can be transformative, but their distinct psychologies reveal much about the subtle complexities that dwell in a submissive heart.

There are those for whom the act of submission is directly tied to pleasing the dominant figure in their lives. In such cases, the focus is outward. The submissive’s inner monologue centers around questions like: “Am I meeting his expectations?” “Does my obedience reflect well on me in his eyes?” There is a certain purity in this form of submission, a devotion that resonates with centuries-old courtly traditions. Picture a scene from a Renaissance painting: a lady kneeling before her lord, eyes shining, entirely devoted to his contentment and honor. Her sense of worth is, in part, shaped by his satisfaction.

I’ve found that for these women, approval operates as a potent currency—one they crave because it affirms their identity as a “good” submissive, a cherished partner. The interplay of praise and correction, of fulfilling a directive and receiving heartfelt appreciation, sets off a rush of endorphins. In more modern, everyday terms, one might say it’s a love language grounded in affirmation. When done with sincerity and empathy, a dominant can cultivate an environment where the submissive feels confident and secure in her role, precisely because her motivation is to see that glowing look in his eyes.

This perspective, of course, carries its own challenges. When one’s submission revolves primarily around pleasing the man, it can create an echo chamber of external validation. The submissive may become so focused on reading his subtle cues or anticipating his every wish that she forgets to check in with her own emotional landscape. Is she experiencing fulfillment beyond his approval? Does she maintain her own boundaries and sense of self? A skilled dominant will encourage introspection, ensuring that her longing to please him does not eclipse her own emotional stability or autonomy. Even in the throes of surrender, a thread of self-awareness is vital—like a grounding wire that prevents the entire exchange from short-circuiting under the weight of external expectation.

Then, there is another kind of submissive, one for whom yielding is a force unto itself. She doesn’t submit solely to make her dominant happy—though that, too, brings satisfaction. Rather, her submission arises from an inner longing, an almost primordial need to relinquish control. This is the woman who, after a long day of decisions, responsibilities, and burdens, yearns for the serenity that comes when those responsibilities are lifted, replaced by the guiding hand of another.

Such individuals often speak of submission as a release—a quiet unraveling of tension, a hush of mental chatter. To them, surrender is not an act of being conquered by a partner’s will, but a deliberate shedding of self-imposed weight. It’s akin to stepping into a hidden sanctuary where they’re free to feel vulnerable, raw, and utterly alive. Pleasing the dominant might still matter, but it’s more of a byproduct. The central flame in this dynamic is the submissive’s own internal craving for structure, direction, and boundaries that liberate as much as they confine.

One might compare this to immersing oneself in a sensory deprivation tank: the external stimuli fade away, leaving a tranquil void. In the realm of BDSM, the “void” is paradoxical—an environment intensively charged with sensation, yet psychologically it can be freeing. For these submissives, the rope, the blindfold, the command is less about how the dominant perceives them and more about the comforting tide of letting everything else slip from their shoulders. The reward is the calm at the heart of the storm.

However, this approach is not without its own pitfalls. When the primary drive is internal—a hunger that demands satiation—there’s a risk of becoming too dependent on the structure another person provides. In other words, the submissive might rely on the dominant for emotional equanimity, using the power-exchange dynamic as a crutch. The need for submission can overshadow vital aspects of self-growth or personal development outside the relationship. The best dominants—those who serve not only their own pleasure but also the holistic wellbeing of their partners—will approach this with nuance, ensuring that her submission is a choice enriched by healthy self-esteem rather than an escape from the responsibilities of daily life.

Interestingly, these motivations—one primarily external, the other fundamentally internal—are not mutually exclusive. A woman may find that at different moments, her desire to please her partner dominates the landscape, while at other times, she hungers more for the relief found in letting go. In fact, a truly harmonious D/s relationship often weaves both threads together, resulting in a dynamic tapestry of mutual satisfaction.

Why do I call it mutual satisfaction? Because even when a submissive’s focus is on her own innate need to yield, a mindful dominant takes pleasure in her journey. Observing the unburdening of her worries, the blossoming of her trust—these are exquisite experiences for someone who relishes genuine connection. Conversely, when her primary aim is to please him, that devotion can be no less fulfilling to watch. The grace of a devoted submissive can light up an evening like the soft glow of candlelight, infusing each moment with intimacy and reverence.

That said, understanding a submissive’s root motivations guides me—guides us—in orchestrating scenes and moments that are truly satisfying. If her longing is to please me, I must be clear about what pleases me, just as I must give honest feedback—both in the form of gentle correction and genuine praise. I serve as her mirror, reflecting her efforts and achievements with sincerity.

If, instead, her submission is driven by the need to find an internal calm, then my role shifts accordingly. I become the anchor in her storm, the protective structure that allows her to find freedom in constraint. In that setting, I ensure she feels safe enough to let herself drift, to submerge completely in the experience, knowing that I’ll remain watchful and respectful of her boundaries.

Any relationship that dances with power imbalance—whether sexual, emotional, or psychological—demands rigorous communication. When either party remains unaware of the other’s underlying motivations, misunderstandings and emotional harm become real risks. Does she crave a loving, affirming presence above all, or does she yearn for the profound exhalation of tension that only complete surrender can provide? Only by naming these needs, sharing them openly, can both participants co-create an environment that nurtures health, safety, and mutual fulfillment.

Reflection is equally vital. A submissive who is uncertain of her own motivations may find herself drifting between wanting to please the dominant and needing to serve her internal longing—without fully understanding either. In such instances, journaling, self-examination, or frank discussions with a trusted partner can illuminate these hidden corners, paving the way for a more authentic expression of submission.

Ultimately, the subtle art of submission is as rich and varied as the individuals who practice it. Some women derive their gratification primarily from seeing delight spark in their partner’s eyes; others discover their truest sense of self in the quiet hum of release that comes from yielding their burdens. Both paths are worthy, both can be beautiful, and both can lead to the kind of intimate connection that defies simple definition.

In my view, the healthiest relationships allow space for these motives to evolve. A submissive might find that her needs fluctuate over time, shaped by changing circumstances, personal growth, or a deepening bond with the dominant. We should embrace such changes rather than rigidly resist them—trusting that genuine submission, whichever motive it honors, can be a profound gift when offered freely and accepted with respect.

And so, to all who wonder which path is “correct,” I would say: neither is inherently more valid. Each woman’s reasons for bowing her head or bending her knee are as unique as her fingerprint. The true question lies in whether the motivation—be it external validation or an inner yearning—brings her closer to the essence of who she is, and whether the dominant recognizes and cherishes that essential truth. When both do, the dance of power and surrender can become an art form unto itself, resonating with a beauty that lingers long after the scene has ended.

22. The Illusion of Trust: Decoding the Broken Bonds of a Widely Fractured Society

“It is right that you learn all things — both the unshaken heart of well-rounded truth and the beliefs of mortals, in which there is no true trust.” — Parmenides

In a world rife with superficial relationships and digital interactions, trust has become a currency that is both devalued and yet relentlessly sought after. This paradox creates an unsettling backdrop wherein individuals often mistake the vibrations of social media engagement for genuine connection. What is deemed “likeable” often outweighs what is “trustworthy,” leading to a collective condition where the heart of truth is obscured by the smoke and mirrors of curated online personas. One might argue that as modern society embraces the fleeting dopamine hit provided by attention, it simultaneously compromises the very essence of trust itself.

Authenticity, in its purest form, is rapidly becoming an elusive aspiration. Individuals engage in a dance of façade-building, projecting idealized versions of themselves that are far removed from reality. This self-betrayal extends beyond personal identity into relational exchanges, breeding a climate of codependency. Rather than forging genuine connections, individuals become entangled in webs of emotional manipulation and parasitism—using one another as means to end. The moral ramifications of such behavior create ripples that undermine the foundational ethos required for healthy, fulfilling relationships.

Amidst these dynamics, we must ask: What does it mean to trust in a world where vehement likes eclipse heartfelt conversations? The delicate weave of trust is frayed by fleeting validations that occur at the speed of a thumb swipe. Amid the echoes of endless notifications, the quest for authenticity often finds itself buried beneath layers of curated commentary and attentiveness that serve selfish ends. The gravity of these choices stretches our understanding of interpersonal agency, raising profound questions that challenge our very conception of morality and connection.

Paradoxically, the price of this social currency is steep; it demands the sacrifice of depth for breadth. In an age where every interaction is structured to serve the fickleness of engagement metrics, the more profound human experience—characterized by vulnerability, reciprocity, and, fundamentally, trust—stands endangered. As we deconstruct the intricate ties that bind us, it becomes imperative to reassess not only our motivations for engagement but also the ethical frameworks that sustain our relationships amid chaos.

The Currency of Connection: Emotional Dependency and Social Parasitism

As Parmenides reminds us, the beliefs of mortals are often steeped in treachery rather than truth. The manifestations of emotional dependency in contemporary society reveal a troubling trend: humans are increasingly reliant on one another, not for authenticity, but for mere affirmation. This reliance is amplified through the dynamic of social media, where validation occurs at the cost of genuine connection. It is a paradox of modern life, where the abundance of voices drowns out the quiet power of meaningful discourse.

In this milieu, one must confront the uncomfortable reality of social parasitism—the phenomenon where individuals derive their sense of self-worth from the accomplishments and affection of others rather than fostering their own identity. Individuals become emotional leeches, thriving on the accolades initially designed to bolster communal trust. However, this destructive dependency ultimately erodes the very fabric of society, stranding individuals in a quagmire of unsustainable relationships and hollow connections that masquerade as fulfilling bonds.

Emotional dependency breeds a toxic environment wherein the intention behind interactions becomes muddied. As individuals align their worth with social media engagement, they inadvertently reinforce cycles of manipulation and disengagement. Such practices serve to attenuate the intricacies of ethical decision-making, prioritizing personal validation over collective responsibility. The foundation of mutual respect is undermined, giving way to relationships characterized by a transactional mindset, where emotional debts replace real connection.

To disentangle ourselves from this emotional mire, we must re-establish a hierarchy of values that prioritize depth over superficiality. Authentic connections must revolve around more than mere acknowledgment; they must root themselves in a shared commitment to truth and vulnerability. As social currency continues to proliferate, so too must our defiance against the corrosive impact of emotional parasitism, which threatens not only our relationships but the very essence of humanity itself.

Deconstructing the Ethics of Engagement

The landscape of moral engagement is fraught with ambiguity. Trust, once the cornerstone of productive relationships, now teeters on a precipice of peril, challenged by the fragmented narratives that populate social media. In this kaleidoscope of opinions, the individual voice often becomes an empty whisper devoid of moral grounding. In a world where every tweet and post serves as both a weapon and shield, the ethical dimensions underlying our engagements fall victim to the whims of societal approval.

In tracing the contours of ethical betrayal, we must confront our role as actors within this dynamic. Each user is an architect of their digital identity, wielding the power to shape their perceptions and, by extension, influence others. However, the clash between genuine engagement and performance raises a new dilemma that demand both introspection and accountability. Are we crafting honest-hearted narratives with integrity, or are we merely participating in a tragic masquerade designed to satiate a hungering and insatiable audience?

To build a restoration of trust, it becomes paramount to reevaluate our incentives for engagement. As the boundaries between virtual interactions and tangible relationships continue to blur, the ethical implications of our choices carve marks into the social psyche. Every engagement bears the weight of intention, summoning us to reflect—are we there to uplift our fellow users or are we doing so merely to preserve our status? Amid this reckoning, it becomes increasingly evident that the loss of trust is a consequence of collective inaction as we falter under pressures to conform rather than embrace authenticity.

Rebuilding relationships calls for the courage to engage in uncomfortable conversations, the willingness to dismantle harmful patterns, and the strength to resist the palpable lure of superficial engagement. Only by courageously questioning our motives and the ethics underlying our interactions can we hope to regain the trust frayed by years of emotional neglect and social manipulation. Escaping the clutches of social media-induced isolation requires a steadfast commitment to fostering genuine connections born from realness, empathy, and transparency.

The Renaissance of Resilience: Redefining Trust in the Digital Age

In recognizing the deficiencies propagated by the viral age, we face the exciting challenge of redefining trust. This effort calls for a revival of resilience as a principle, wherein the reclamation of real human connection stands as a primary goal. Acknowledging the pervasive fragmentation necessitates a conscious divergence from the familiar patterns of codependency and emotional parasitism that have marred our collective experiences so far.

At the heart of this quest lies the recognition that we, as individuals, possess the power to effect change. By fostering emotional independence and resilience, we cultivate environments that prioritize authentic connections over hollow affirmations. Such a transformation germinates from collective introspection, where honesty becomes the cornerstone of our interactions, and the delineation between genuine engagement and superficial dialogue is sharply defined.

A call to resilience urges us to dismantle the external validation mechanism that has permeated our relationships. Trust should embody a principle that transcends individual engagement, spreading its roots into the fabric of societal ethics. Cultivating a climate of open communication and shared vulnerability becomes imperative in this transformation, ensuring that our relationships are not merely transactional engagements, but rather profound encounters that affirm our shared humanity.

As we navigate the tumultuous waters of trust in the digital age, we must champion a commitment to authenticity, instilling hope and renewal within the morass of emotional dependency. The path forward illuminates the potential for deeper relationships, urging us to cultivate an understanding of trust that transcends its superficial trappings. The arduous pursuit of this remarkable transformation demands immense strength; yet, in its wake lies the promise of reinstituted kinship founded upon cooperation, compassion, and collective resilience—a true renaissance of trust.

Conclusion: Reclaiming Trust as the Cornerstone of Meaningful Connections

As we reach the culmination of this discourse, it becomes evident that trust transcends mere abstraction; it stands as the essential force that fuels human connection. The disintegration of societal trust compels us to scrutinize our moral compasses, demanding unwavering introspection from both the individual and the collective. We must become acutely aware of our roles in perpetuating cycles of mistrust and ethical decline, while fervently striving to nurture authenticity in a world rife with superficiality.

The harsh truth of our present circumstances—a society plagued by codependency and social parasitism—necessitates a confrontation with our own complicity in this chaos. We are not merely observers; we are challenged to dismantle the walls that obstruct genuine connection. It is crucial to grasp that the cultivation of trust demands relentless effort, the audacity to embrace vulnerability, and a resolute commitment to mutual respect and accountability.

Ultimately, by reclaiming trust, we lay the foundation for relationships imbued with depth and meaning. In championing authentic connections while resisting the seductive lure of external validation, we awaken our potential for profoundly enriching interactions. As we embrace the path ahead, let us acknowledge the transformative potency of trust—an enduring force capable of bridging the divides that fracture us, empowering us to rise above the limitations imposed by social media and our own insecurities. We stand at a pivotal crossroads, where the imperative to restore trust and authenticity will shape the very essence of our future and the bonds we create within it.

More thoughts about the dynamic I talked about here:

It’s telling that the way Abigail engages with Hannibal re: Nick Boyle’s death is very different from the way she engages with Will about it (and by extension, that the way Hannibal engages with Will about GJH’s death is very different from how he engages with Abigail about Nick Boyle’s death).

That is to say, Hannibal’s initial, outward response to Abigail killing Nick Boyle is primarily disapproval - foregrounding what she’s most trying to conceal about herself, and positioning himself as a moral authority who’s making a considerable sacrifice to protect her:

Hannibal: This isn’t self-defense, Abigail. You butchered him. Abigail: I didn’t. Hannibal: They will see what you did. And they will see you as an accessory to the crimes of your father. Abigail: I wasn’t. Hannibal: I can help you, if you ask me to. At great risk to my career and my life. You have a choice. You can tell them you were defending yourself when you gutted this man. Or we can hide the body. (1.3)

Later, he changes tack and allows that Abigail did do the right thing and that self-defense is an excusable motive:

Abigail: You’re glad I killed him. Hannibal: What would be the alternative? That he kill you? (1.3)

And:

Abigail: In the dream, I wonder how I could live with myself, knowing what I did. Hannibal: And when you’re awake? Abigail: When I’m awake, I know I can live with myself. And I know I’ll just get used to what I did. Does that make me a sociopath? Hannibal: No. It makes you a survivor. (1.4)

This change in approach is partly by design, I think - his more condemnatory initial approach impresses on Abigail the worst possible interpretation of her actions (and hints at the fact that he can see through the front she’s putting up), in order to get her to trust him, and then gradually he starts to show qualified approval and emphasize her agency to move behind her father’s influence. And his emphasis on self-defense in their conversation at the end of Potage serves as a way of deflecting Abigail’s sharp inference that he might be a serial killer. But he consistently only approves of Abigail committing murder in utilitarian terms, rather than emphasizing any satisfaction Abigail might have gotten from it.

And the person who does validate that for her is, of course, Will, when they compare notes on killing her father vs. killing Nick Boyle:

Abigail: I thought there was something wrong with me, because I didn’t feel ugly when I killed Nick Boyle. I felt good. That’s why it was so easy to lie about it. Will: Like you didn’t do anything wrong. Abigail: Feel like you’d done something wrong when you killed my dad? Will: I felt terrified. And then… I felt powerful. Abigail: It felt good. To get to end it, to stop it all. (1.12)

They’re both nodding so vigorously by the end of that exchange, just fully understanding in that moment how the other is feeling. And significantly, Hannibal doesn’t set himself up as someone with whom she can unload those feelings on, or find that kind of understanding with! Obviously he doesn’t want to go mask-off about being a serial killer immediately, but he doesn’t even drop any hints with about the appeal of murder; and meanwhile with Will, where he’s got all his “it’s beautiful, in its own way” and “killing must feel good to God” and “not flesh and blood but light and air and colour” lines. Aside from his initial intimation that she had darker motives, his approach with Abigail is mostly affirming her best qualities, suggesting she’s not like her father and that she had no choice but to kill Nick Boyle. And Will ends up being the one to affirm Abigail’s darker qualities.

And, well - my sense of why Hannibal takes this approach is that he was hoping for exactly that. He wanted Abigail to go to Will with those feelings, to be drawn to Will because he offered a potential source of a specific kind of validation and understanding that she wasn’t getting from Hannibal - and thus, for Abigail to help draw out Will’s murderous impulses in turn. Just as he used the prospect of protecting Abigail to push Will’s sense of ethics a little bit farther out. They were both the bait, for each other.

Any tips to ignore anti-shifters? when im on tiktok, i always see anti-shifter comments and its annoying cuz it makes me feel like shifting isnt real. I always look past their comments but it doesnt really work. Do u have any tips?

₊✩‧₊˚౨ৎ˚₊✩‧₊

cw: harsh motivation.

helloo anon! i totally understand your situation and in the past, i was also the kind of person who struggled to deal with anti-shifters! commonly when i would come across them, i would let their demotivating comments and takes shake my beliefs and make me spiral. however, over the years, i have found some efficient ways to take care of them so here are my tips!

🪐 HOW TO DEAL WITH ANTI-SHIFTERS!

1 ) spot an anti-shifter? stop, block, and scroll ― if you know yourself, that at this moment, seeing anti-shifters and their comments shakes your beliefs and doesn't help with your belief on shifting, make attempts to avoid their content at all costs. if you know and can tell it's not going to be good for you, literally do NOT let yourself consume that kind of content and just block and scroll. it's better for you and your beliefs in the long-run. only consume and interact with content that'll make you feel good, not the opposite. don't let your curiosity get the best of you and if you see anti-shifters, don't even let yourself see or engage with that kind of content and then stop, block, and scroll.

2 ) strengthen your belief in shifting ― strengthening your belief in shifting and allowing yourself to validate your beliefs helps SOO much in the long-run, and makes it so external factors won't shake your beliefs. and strengthening your beliefs is quite easy to do, and can even be pretty fun! i was going to make a post on this soon and i've spoken about this in the past too. so, how to do this?

doubt analysis ― firstly, take some deep breaths in to clear your mind. have a moment of self-reflection and ask yourself: what doubts do i have about shifting? identify and figure out every doubt you can think of, and just keep them in mind. you can write them down visually or just hold them in your mind, whatever it is. find out what YOU doubt about shifting and why anti-shifters comments bother you so much. find the root cause ― so, you know what you have doubts about. now, why exactly do you have these doubts? where do these doubts stem from? research and find your answers ― now, you know what doubts you have about shifting and where they come from! so here's the part where YOU do your research and find answers for yourself. find and research answers about your questions you have, and especially find answers that make sense to YOU. reality shifting is a subjective experience, and everyone will believe and experience different things (mainly because of the law of assumption). so, it's important for you to find answers for yourself to fill in the gaps of your doubts, so when you're doubting, you can think to yourself: "wait a minute. i know the answer to this and i know this is real so WHY am i doubting? lol" for example, if you have doubts over whether reality shifting is real, then find out what reality shifting is and how it works, for YOU. go over the science behind it, any scientific theories and concepts that work in favour for reality shifting. go over the different theories of shifting and find one that works FOR YOU.

once you go over and literally debunk your doubts, it'll help you strengthen your belief in reality shifting because you found answers that work FOR YOU and now, you literally have no reason to doubt anymore because you literally just found answers for every unanswered question and doubt you had about shifting!

of course, there are some more things you can do of course, other than just researching and debunking. you could use the law of assumption and just affirm, affirm, and affirm over and over again in your beliefs of reality shifting. you could read the countless success stories that exist out there and people's experiences or even just think over reality shifting and how it works/how it's going to feel. and of course, you could just shift yourself. let me also remind you how important it is to seek internal validation, over external validation/motivation from shifting. reality shifting is a completely personal and internal thing, so it's better to try and build that belief and strengthen it over time, to gain internal validation from yourself.

3 ) stop letting random people dictate your reality ― this one is more of a reminder/rant rather than a tip, but as harsh as it sounds, are you really going to sit there and let people dictate your reality and tell you what's real and what's not real? are you really going to let people discourage you or dictate your beliefs? please realise that in your reality, YOU have the power here. stop consuming things that don't work in favour of your beliefs, and stop letting random people decide things for you. take charge and stand your ground. what if user13849 says reality shifting isn't real? okay! sucks for them, but that's not the case in your reality! please have faith and confidence in yourself and your beliefs! trust yourself; not some random shifttoker who has no idea what they're talking about over shifting. nobody has any power outside of yourself, to tell you and deem reality shifting as real, unless you take that information it and settle it as your reality.

and think about it: there was a time where people didn't believe lucid dreaming was real. some people still think astral projection is a load of bullshit. we all know we have consciousness too, but do scientists know everything about consciousness and what it is? of course not! but we know we all have consciousness. reality shifting is the same, and guarantee in a few years, people are going to slowly accept reality shifting more and more. the only reason that reality shifting gets a bad rep, is because people think it's something that was formed on tiktok by teenagers, so it isn't taken as seriously. meanwhile, reality shifting has been a thing ages before that and many people years before have been doing it (e.g. quantum jumping, persistent realms, etc.)

some people aren't just going to believe in reality shifting, and that's okay. however, we can't let those people dictate our beliefs in reality shifting. we have to reach a point where we can understand this and stop letting these people hold us back.

anyways, i completely understand where you're coming from and nti-shifters can be very annoying and difficult to deal with sometimes. however, they are not the ones dictating over whether reality shifting is real or not. don't let yourself fall into the trap and let yourself trust a random shifttoker over yourself. avoid anti-shifters the minute you see a sign of one, strengthen your belief in shifting internally so your beliefs won't get shaken by external factors, and again: don't let random people on shifttok tell you what shifting is and isn't. find these answers out for yourself and try not to consume things that aren't going to be good for your beliefs! especially, when you realise that these anti-shifters have no idea what they're talking about 😭

and then, you'll reach a stage where whenever you see an anti-shifter, you can just sit back, and have a good laugh. how good does that sound?

i hope my advice was able to help you and good luck on your shifting journey! you got this!!!
