Sorry new landoscar fan here, I kept seeing the notion that Oscar was Lando’s fan for years, but I can’t seem to find any info about that?

ofc babe ! I store a lot of it in this tag but I think a little roundup post is probably due - heads up this is not in chrono order bc a lot of it is referenced from recent content:

2015 and Oscar making the big move to the UK to join Ricky Flynn and his fanboying of Lando begins

tiktok compilation of Oscar revealing his chronic Lando content consumption well before they were teammates

compilation from twitter of Oscar's decided bias toward not only liking Lando content but also searching his tag and finding posts that sometimes had barely a few likes (and this was just going back to 2017)

Oscar knowing when Lando's maiden podium was (and Lando calling him a nerd)

the 2020 hornet tweets because Oscar watched the stream of Lando battling 2 hornets in his house x x

Alpine Oscar 'interviewing' Lando and Alex on Sky in 2022 and the quote from Lando that he hasn't raced Oscar "yet" and Oscar well basically staring at Lando

2021 Oscar citing Lando's social media inspiring him to use humor as a way to open up to the public more (added landoscar angst here bc the hate and abuse he received after alpinegate seriously made him clam up and between that and him being fairly in awe of Lando, meant that Lando himself didn't rly get to know Oscar's humor until fairly late 2023 - like, no one should underestimate how Oscar entered F1 properly and got to know one of his favorite drivers all while being universally despised and painted as a villain/cold/evil - how much could have been different if one team had simply kept their mouths shut until verifying that tweet first esp when Oscar was already a shared reserve driver w McLaren anyway !!!!)

the beloved Oscar and Max F at Renault Academy lore

this post I made is a mess but the anecdotes he can only know from Lando's or Max's streams streams or Quadrant videos: Lando making stickers and selling them at school; Lando's snoring lore could be because of the thin shared walls but also Max has def brought it up before; he definitely already knew the story of Lando falling from a window trying to break into his own house; and the fact that we got Max reacting to Oscar referencing Max's outrage at Lando forgetting his birthday

it's a bit too scattered to compile but trust and believe Oscar has been a carlando girlie from day one - def the bromance but idk I feel like he's read a fic or twenty

watching Lando's career when asked about his idols coming up

and backing that up, him in 2019 saying the same thing

EDIT: his mum Nicole saying he would choose Lando as his ideal teammate going into F1 because the expectations of him wouldn't be too high since everyone knows how good Lando is

pulling out the it's Friday theeeen Lando meme

being so addicted to Lando content by 2020 that he actually fanboyed about the LN4 admin interacting w him

EDIT: he then followed it up by creating a sort of ship name for himself and Lando ???

EDIT: Lando's kart and the number 481 !!

EDIT: how could I forget Oscar submitting this old photo of Lando to a meme page in 2023 but he literally had that photo somewhere saved

EDIT: how could I forget the hornets saga ??

EDIT: 2016 Oscar likes Lando telling people to turn him notifications for him on

and ofc K's beloved Oscar primer has a lot of context about all of this more fleshed out!

I think that's everything but if anyone notices I've forgotten anything lmk !!

⨳ 　 ʾ apps/sites 4 shifting 　 . 　 ♡

hi! this will be long but i made a list of apps/sites that might be helpful for your shifting journey. reminder that you don't need these to shift but they can be helpful with manifesting, keeping track of stuff, etc.

enjoy! divider cr

NOT SPONSORED BTW LMAO

﹒ 　 ⊹ 　 🝮 　 OO1: NOTION 　 ✩

description:

basically notion is an app for documents and stuff. i have to say this one's relatively known and it's such a huge life saver and i know that probably everyone knows about it already (as they should) but i'm gonna recommend it once again.

useful for:

scripting

dashboards you can add life goals & stuff here you can look up some templates/ideas and see what i mean LOL

cons:

i personally can not think of any major ones because this app is just that good

you do have to make new accounts for the text ai generating feature but i don't know if anyone would use that

additional notes:

i personally love how customizable it is! like you can make each page have a custom icon & header, add widgets, images, and so much more. it is so so so insanely helpful for scripting i'm telling you. or you can just be basic, that works too. there's also a bunch of script templates online including specific ones (like a better cr, fame dr, fantasy dr, fandom-specific drs, bla bla bla) and it's literally the only thing shifttok is good for imo. i'm a big fan of shifterium's templates but there's other people who make them as well and i'm sure you can find some recommendations!

★ 　 ₊ 　 ➲ 　OO2: CANVA

description:

a website + app where you can design stuff from headers down to presentations, posters, covers, etc..

useful for:

album covers for singer/idol drs

book covers for writer drs or something

fake social media posts but there's better apps out there and i'll list them here as well

and much more!

cons:

a lot of things (most of which i think are the good stuff) are paid but you can find similar replicas if you scroll long enough i guess..?? and there's a free trial but i don't know if that helps

additional notes:

definitely my favorite place to go when i need to design something tbh. there's a bunch of templates you can use and the layout is very easy to navigate through! and it's pretty easy to find free alternatives for the paid stuff you do have in there

₍ⁿ⑅..ⁿ₎ 　 ˇ 　 ⩩ 　 OO3: PARROT 　 ❀ 　

description:

parrot is an app where you can record yourself saying literally anything and play it on a continuous loop

useful for:

affirmations (manifesting??)

cons:

i'm pretty sure it's iOS only

additional notes:

personally i haven't used this app (i don't like my voice so i will not be recording myself saying affirmations thank yew) so i can't give it a rating but from the looks of it and based off of recommendations i've seen it's pretty useful. should be a white icon with a pink circle that has a white parrot in it!

≥≤ 　 ﹕ 　 ⤷ 　 OO4: BEHINDTHENAME 　 ◍

description:

a site where you can generate names & even life stories if you choose it (including height, weight, blood type, birthday, nationality and more i think?? at least it gives those for me). you can choose from different cultures and stuff like fantasy & mythology.

useful for:

finding a name & info for your dr self (which is literally you by the way don't forget that!) and potentially other people you'd like to script in

cons:

it really just helps to make a basic profile of a person so the things you can do with it can be a little limited

additional notes:

i prefer using this site for ocs instead but i think it can definitely help with shifting! oddly enough it also shows like a lifespan & cause of death so.. cool i guess!!!!

✦ 　 ﹕ 　 OO5: SOCIAL MAKER/dummy

description:

social maker & social dummy are both apps where you can replicate almost basically anything from the internet from twitter posts to facebook posts, youtube posts, and more!

useful for:

social media stuff especially useful for fame drs, streamer drs, idol/singer drs and so much more

cons:

both apps were deleted so you have to have had installed them before if you want to get them back

social maker is ios only i think?

additional notes:

yeah both apps are deleted but there's alternatives out there like twinote (for twitter) photonote (for instagram) canva (has fake social media templates as i said lol) and others that you can look for (because i personally only use twinote)

⋆ 　 ᶻᶻ 　 　 OO6: HELLOFACE 　 ﹒ 　 ★

description:

basically an app for ai face swapping

useful for:

seeing what your face claim (if you have one) would look like on for example dances, fancams, interviews definitely useful for idol/singer/maybe fame drs

cons:

uses ai (i'm personally not a big fan of ai)

pretty underground so the chances that you might not like it are not low

✭ 　 　 ❒︎ 　 OO7: ROOM PLANNER 　 . 　 ♡

description:

basically what the name says. it's a 3d home designer

useful for:

making your dr room/house

visualizing your dr room/house

cons:

has paid stuff

┊ 　 ‧ 　⬭ 　 OO8: COMBYNE

description:

an app where you can combine items you like from a wide selection of stuff to make outfits!

useful for:

making outfits for your dr

visualizing said outfits

additional notes:

there's other things you can do on the app like challenges where you can compete to make the best outfit i think?? looks pretty fun i might try it HAHAHA

yuh so i got a little lazy here at the end & i know this is prolly not very helpful because most of these apps/sites are pretty well known but maybe just maybe.. i helped someone out...

HAPPY SHIFTING!!!!!

semester success. ᥫ᭡

[ 3 chapter mini series ] | chapter one

in this series, i’m going to teach you all my helpful tips and tricks on how to succeed in the new semester in just 3 quick chapters! get ready to take notes, we’re diving right in!

chapter two — MASTERING NOTE-TAKING

in the last chapter, we talked about the first week and how to prepare for it! now, we’re going to get real into it and talk about one of the most important skills that can help increase your level of success throughout the semester: taking notes.

class is in session …

୨ৎ — physical or digital

let’s first decide how we’re going to take notes. if you’re the classic/traditional type, a notebook & some pens/pencils & highlighters are the way to go! but if you’re feeling a bit more modernized, grab your laptop and/or tablet!

i personally use my ipad to take notes! i know lots of people who use Notion, create digital documents for their notes, utilize GoodNotes/Notably, and i use this app called CollaNote (more on this later)! if you’re note-taking digitally, find an app or format that works best for you! you can play around with the different apps and tools on your device! digital note-taking also allows for more creativity, in my opinion, but i’ve seen loads of students get really creative with traditional styled notes!

digital note-taking inspo:

i highly recommend this post by @glowettee if you want a quick, but detailed list of how to get set up for digital note-taking!

physical note-taking inspo:

୨ৎ — note-taking methods

there’s lots of ways to take notes! that’s the beauty of note-taking, there’s no one right way of doing so or any wrong way of doing so! there’s a variety of ways to take notes, so find and play around with what works best for you!

different methods:

quick notes - the unaesthetic version

you’ll see lots of people say that they rewrite their notes, and i’m one of those people! i typically don’t take notes during lectures (mainly because my ADD doesn’t allow me to lol) but when i’m actually able to take some notes, my in-class writing is just plain bullet points and words scrambled onto my page.

i see “quick notes” as a way of making sure you get all the key points from the lecture without the stress of writing everything else down.

here’s how:

don’t focus on writing every single thing down! this will make you lose track of what the professor might be saying in addition to what’s in the textbook/lecture slides.

focus on the key points! keep an ear out for your professor and if they say something like “this will be on the exam” or “this is really important to know”. those are the things that need to be written down!

remember: you can always go back and rewrite your notes! having just the key points written down will help you 1. stay focused during class and 2. be prepared for what to focus on during your studies.

don’t worry about your notes looking bland or messy, again, you can go back and rewrite your notes to make it look nice and add additional information! this “quick notes” method is for people who are like me and struggle with taking notes during lectures!

** tina’s tip: record the lecture! if you’re able to have your phone out or if your computer/tablet has a recording feature, use it to record the lecture so that when you do go back to rewrite your notes you don’t forget any other important points!

mind-mapping - an organized flow chart

how it works:

start with your central idea or main topic you want to focus on! have this be the center of your mind-map.

when info regarding this topic starts to come up, write them down and connect that additional information with the central idea using lines and arrows.

get creative! use different colors and add images or symbols!

mind-maps are a great way to organize and visualize the information you need to do into a creative diagram! this is a great method for those visual learners!

boxing method - compartmentalizing notes

this method is another great one for visual learners as it allows you to create a chart for yourself and all that you’re learning in class!

how it works:

start by dividing up your page so that you have different boxes set out for you!

include headings/titles for each box and have them relate to each topic you’re learning.

in those boxes, write down key points from each topic and include any and all information as you can!

you can also connect the boxes with lines and arrows to see how all that information flows together and relates to one another!

i suggest going onto @nenelonomh ‘s blog and reviewing her study corner where there’s a section dedicated to different note-taking methods! as well as other helpful academic advice!

୨ৎ — record your lectures

i mentioned this earlier, but i just want to reiterate this point! recording lectures will help you so much with note-taking as it allows you to go back to what was said in class and continue taking notes that way. it’s extremely helpful especially when your teacher/professor is a fast talker and you can’t keep up with note-taking in class!

୨ৎ — color coding

an easy way to make your notes more appealing to you is by color coding everything! feel free to pick your favorite colors and use those!

what to color code:

key points

important vocab/terms

connecting topics

additional notes from your teacher/professor

୨ৎ — CollaNote

i promise this is entirely unsponsored, but i do love this app! it’s completely free (with in-app purchases if you want to unlock other templates)!

it comes with a variety of free tools, pen styles, highlighters, colors for those writing tools (which are also entirely customizable!), page templates, recording feature, and so much more that i can’t fully remember off the top of my head!

it also allows you to organize everything into folders which is really, really nice! organization of your notes is also super important when it comes to note-taking! so let’s get into organization!

୨ৎ — note organization

if you’re taking notes in the traditional way, make sure you have designated notebooks for each class. if you’re using a binder that includes all of your classes, make sure you have those divider tabs to prevent from any of your notes integrating with your other ones!

for digital notes, make sure you have folders or an organized list of links for each of your courses! it’s important that your files are titled accordingly so that there’s less confusion when you need to go back to any of your notes!

going back to note-taking methods, make sure when you’re writing your notes that you stay consistent with your organization!

write your topics in chronological order

create sections for different bits of information

color code

you don’t want your notes to be a jumbled mess! not having some kind of organization system can lead to confusion while studying or unclear information on the topics you’re learning.

before you’re dismissed …

note-taking, as i mentioned at the beginning, is one of the most important skills to have while in school. you want to make sure you have effective notes that will help you understand the material and help you study for upcoming quizzes/exams! just imagine yourself as the main character in a show or movie and think of yourself as this studious and amazing person while taking notes and sitting through lectures! romanticize your academic career!

with lots of love, faustina 🌷

To Have a Crush: Skully J. Graves [Special]

Warning(s): JP Spoilers, Gender-neutral reader, not proof-read, OOC

Notes: That moment when you’re casually just scrolling through Tumblr and then this guy shows up face first on your For You page. In other words, I got distracted and made this. Whoopsie. (٥⁀▽⁀ ) This is gonna be following a slightly different format from my other ones since there’s not much info on him but I hope it works!

Heartslabyul | Savanaclaw | Octavinelle | Scarabia | Pomefiore | Ignihyde | Diasomnia | Special

Skully J. Graves

𓉸 A kiss of love placed atop a living hand. As you laid there on his lap, chest heaving up and down peacefully as if in a beautiful dream, Skully couldn’t help but think that perhaps true love was real after all. Love at first sight always sounded like a ridiculous notion in his head. Like really? Who instantly falls for someone by taking one look at them? Doesn’t that just mean they’re scared? Whatever it was, Skully didn’t believe in it…until he met you. Witnessing by your side as your pure eyes filled with curiosity, excitement, and a little fear at what was happening around, only made him fall harder. How beautiful, how wonderful, how…well it’s nothing to dwell too much on. Even if the time he spent with you was but a fleeting dream, the warmth he felt as his hands rested above yours was truly real.

𓉸 The fanatic of Halloween, a weirdo with a stranger fixation, a foolish man who knows nothing. Skully knows those names well, too well in fact, but it’s pointless to understand those who only have the intellect to judge others. Not once did he think there’d be anyone who’d understand him. Not once did he think he’ll ever gain a friend. That’s why you, who blooms so brightly against the night he adores, captured his wounded heart. Perhaps ‘Halloween’, with those piercing eyes of yours holding their own against his red who are so cowardly, could be something more than solemn and cold. Reminiscing on the conversations that were held, the rowdiness of a unique group of friends claiming they were not friends, and a journey of nightmarish delights, Skully couldn’t help but want this night of screams to last a little while longer.

𓉸 Ah…but should this continue for any longer, it would no longer be called ‘Halloween’, no?

𓉸 Yes, he loves you so and yes, holding tightly onto that love, he’ll let you go. Under the gentle light of the full moon, surrounded by friends and heroes alike, a revelation was realized and a hope was crushed. Sitting with you at lunch, languishing over upcoming tests, and attempting to skip out on physical education class with you…haha, it’s not good to be too greedy, right? With the words he wanted to say held dearly to his heart, never once leaving his lips, Skully bows and takes your hand in his once again. This dream of a nightmare shall come to an end but he hopes, even if it’s a cruel wish to have, that this encounter shall forever be embedded in your heart.

“I give a kiss to this fateful farewell…and a Happy Halloween to my dearest friend.”

Requests about anyone ye say? In that case, chef's choice for your preferred Scarecrow scaring their significant other and how they would react to said person attempting to scare him in return? Much love to ya <3

Scarecrow Headcanons aaaaaaaah!! thank you bud!! so much lvoe back to you for this smashing idea, and i'm going to pick golden age jon because i have THOUGHTS about this silly little beast on this exact subject 🎃🧡 request info • prompt list • send me a request • kofi • masterlist minors DNI!! 🔞 cw: couple of suggestive things, but this is mostly just cutesy fluff, it does mention phobias and attempts at scaring people but like... it's scarecrow so... yeah

fear is obviously the way he shows his dominance, the way he finds his control

but it's also, weirdly or not really, the way he shows affection too

call it exposure therapy, or conditioning, but he wants his significant other to be able to withstand anything

and when it comes to him, it really could be anything

sure he just seems like some stuffy professor, scruffy and tired and stuck in a fantasy world within the pages of his books

but he has big plans, and he'd hate to think he might lose you

especially if it happened because he was too frightening for you

so expect to be pushed to your limits when it comes to your fears and phobias

once he knows what it is that gets you, he'll utilise it in order to elicit the perfect reaction from you

it's a confusing game, for both of you

it pains him to have to cause this kind of trauma to someone he adores, but it's a necessary evil

and then the aftercare always sweetens the deed, like a little sugary treat after some sickly medicine

and for you, it's a lot to constantly face your fears

but there's something thrilling about seeing a more confident and dangerous side to crane

something about the adrenaline rush has both of you going

so it's only natural that you might consider making an attempt at scaring him

returning the favour, making sure he knows you care enough about his... hobbies

at first, it knocks him back a little, throws him off his game

he's screeching, clutching his chest, adjusting his glasses with stuttered words

but once he's regained his composure he's acutely aware that there's a tingle in his bones

there's something delightfully sinful about it all

and he manages to pinpoint it to the notion of corruption

he's turned you to the dark side, a follower of his manifesto, a true partner in crime

[kimonobeat]

Long time no see!

Hello everyone! As you all probably noticed, I haven't been on Tumblr or Ko-fi in over two years (eep!). I might not be able to respond to every DM or comment I've received since I went on my hiatus, but just know I read them and appreciate that you were all thinking of me.

Even while I was away, I really, really missed being able to share my translations with all of you. Instead of picking back up here, I’ve decided to move my entire catalog of translations to a shiny new Notion site since it’s much easier to use and maintain than a Tumblr blog. Please read my post on Notion for more info, 100+ new translations since 2022, some awesome new features, and more! This Tumblr blog won’t be deleted, but will eventually be converted into a redirect page.

Thanks for all the happy memories here on Tumblr, and looking forward to seeing you on my new website!

[resident-cake-anon]

im actually feeling so motivated todayyy i want to redo my catalina notion page to be prettier + organize her design references more so that way they can be accessible to everyone!!

[brekkie-e]

Something I think about a lot when it comes to the Vallaslin debacle- whether they should be maintained as a tradition in the future and what they meant in the past- is Felassan's place in the rebellion.

Felassan and Vallaslin theory under the cut.

We see some of Solas's agent's in Trespasser, Tevinter Night's, and other media. And it's a bit of a toss up whether an ancient elf who serves Solas has Vallaslin or not. Based off the info we have about the rebellion and what the Vallaslin were, one would assume anyone who makes it to Solas's side wants theirs off. Isn't that notion backed up by the murals we see in Inquisition? Solas taking off Vallaslin by the dozens?

Which brings us back to the agents who still wear them. The first thought that jumps into my head is, "Oh, these must be spies then. People who opted to keep them as a way of offering a specific service to The Cause™️."

And…. That brings me back to Felassan. He's not a spy. He's a general. One might argue he could have fulfilled the role of a spy at some point or another. But in TME- he's not working overly hard to fit in. The guy is unapologetically behaving as himself. He doesn't care if he actually believably passes as a Dalish guy. Sure, he brings up old tales, but the whole time he's practically begging Briala to ask him if he's really Dalish.

In the memories we see of him and Solas, he's a second in command. He's leading people on battlefields. There's literally nothing he does in the name of subtlety. I don’t really see him as a character who has “cut out for spy work” in their resume.

So why does he still have Vallaslin? If any free elf of Solas's time wanted them gone, if they served no deeper cultural purpose than to mark someone as property, Felassan's decision to keep them is called in to question. His role in the rebellion that we get to witness would make sending him to spy a moot point. He's a known entity. He's the Wolf's right hand. So why does the Wolf's right hand wear the very thing that Solas hates on his face with no shame? The codexes he wrote in Veilgaurd don’t scream to me that he carried any significant devotion to Mythal, let alone in a capacity that rivaled Solas’. In TME, he tosses out “Mythal’s tit’s” or “Mythal’s bosom” whenever he finds the chance. So why would Felassan keep a mark of fealty to her when Solas, in contrast, does not.

My point being is, I stand by the idea that even before the Dalish- the Vallaslin meant something to the Elvhen people beyond slavery. To maintain such specific designs through the ages after Elvhenan fell- they had to have maintained the tradition from day one. Fought tooth and nail to keep it from dying out during the Empire's reign. When an Inquisitor tells Solas they want to keep them, he honestly reacts like it’s not the first time he’s heard that response before. Which makes sense when you think of his closeness to Felassan. I wonder if she reminded him of his friend in that moment.

Whether the writer's want us to think they were maintained with full understanding of what they were from the jump, I don't know. But it's the only conclusion I have ever been able to come to that makes any sense to me. It has never been a possibility to me that they only began the tradition of wearing them again once they made home in the Dales.

This is full fanon territory now, but here are some of my thoughts on what they might have began as. With the revelation of the Elvhen connection to spirits, perhaps it was a way to signify which variety of spirit you originated from. I know Felassan gives off the impression that he’s younger than Solas, but I still think he was a spirit that made a body. “He sat crossed-legged, calmed his breathing until he found his true self inside the shell of his flesh, and sprinkled the herbs over the fire.” This is a line in the last few pages of TME, and I don’t know about you but that sounds like someone who feels they’re a spirit inside a meat suit to me. Now, we all saw how much Solas looked like Mythal’s Vallaslin as a spirit. Part of my theory here is that her Vallaslin wasn’t a direct copy of him, but an homage to the archetype of spirit they were. If I had to make an educated guess, I would say Felassan was a wisdom spirit. His dynamic with Briala is based on guiding her to conclusions and helping her figure things out on her own. Not unlike Solas and the Inquisitor. Except Felassan looked at the young woman thousands of years his junior and developed a paternal bond with her instead of a romantic one because he’s a king with standards. Point being, if the original wisdom spirits gravitated to looking like Solas- then Felassan might have looked like that as well at one point.

I don’t think I’m the first person to wonder if the Vallaslin were all based off the Evanuris’ spirit forms, but I keep getting caught up in how that began. There’s something interesting to me about wondering if they had a hard time adjusting to their new bodies and way they experienced emotions similarly to how Cole did. Solas talks at some point about how feelings worked differently in the Fade. I can’t help but wonder if the very first Vallaslin were an attempt to identify themselves. Put their true nature on their face since it was now hidden behind a flesh mask. If it helped old friends recognize one another despite new forms.

I also like this because of how it would mean that the Dalish wouldn’t necessarily have the core concept behind the Vallaslin wrong. They have placed a misguided religious notion on it, but in the end the decision of which god they honor with their Vallaslin is also a declaration of which spirit they identify with most. It declares something about their nature that others can discern just by seeing the marks on their face. The real reason behind the practice may have been lost but in some round about way the purpose was not.

Now, I should note that there are a few holes in my theory. I don’t know that I think they entirely sink it because so much of the lore has layers, but they’re there. The first is the fact Dirth’amen and Falon’din seem to be one spirit split in two. Whether that happened before they took a body or not, I’m unsure. If the split happened before- I don’t think that detracts from my musings because it means they could have developed further into fully realized separate spirits. But if it happened after it does beg the question why people would give them seperate Vallaslin outside of slave marking purposes. The other, and most damning, point is Cole’s line about Solas burning Mythal’s mark off his face. If the mark was to represent his spirit nature then why would it be referred to as her mark as opposed to his? Unless the line between Vallaslin for self expression and slave brands was blurred very early on. Though, it’s still not out of the realm of possibility that it began as one thing and by the time he got rid of his marks it meant another.

Anyways, regardless of the origins and my theories- we have atleast one significant Ancient Elvhen character who had every reason to remove his Vallaslin but didn’t. So when asking questions about the future of the Dalish and this custom- I’m always going to keep Felassan in the back of my mind. If someone who lived the worst of their cultural meaning, and was incredibly close to Solas still opted to keep his then the modern Dalish have every right to as well.

The irony of using Felassan, the certified Dalish Hater, to advocate for Dalish cultural value is not lost on me. I don’t apologize.

Permashifting and Respawning: An Analysis of These Advanced Shifting Concepts

Permashifting and Respawning: An Analysis of These Advanced Shifting Concepts

Introduction

Masterlist :

In the realm of shifting consciousness and altering perceived realities, two concepts have emerged as significant subjects of interest and debate: permashifting and respawning. These advanced shifting techniques, while rooted in imaginative and theoretical frameworks, have captured the attention of various communities seeking to explore the boundaries of consciousness and personal reality.

Permashifting refers to the idea of shifting one’s awareness into an alternate reality or state of being for extended periods or permanently while still retaining awareness of the original reality. Respawning involves a process of transitioning to a previous state or reality after experiencing a form of shift or transition, often tied to deeper spiritual or reincarnation practices. Both concepts have sparked intrigue and controversy, challenging traditional notions of reality and consciousness.

This essay aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of permashifting and respawning, delving into their definitions, mechanics, applications, and implications. By exploring the ethical, philosophical, and practical dimensions of these concepts, we seek to understand their potential impact on individuals and society. Furthermore, we will examine the perception of permashifting and respawning within various communities, addressing common misconceptions and controversies that surround them. Through this exploration, we aim to illuminate the complexities and nuances of these advanced shifting concepts and contribute to a more informed and open dialogue on their possibilities and limitations.

I. Permashifting

A. Definition and Fundamentals

Introduction to Permashifting

Permashifting is a concept that originates from the broader discourse on consciousness and the exploration of alternate realities. The term "permashifting" refers to the theoretical ability to shift one’s awareness to a different reality or dimension permanently or for long periods while maintaining awareness of one's original reality. This concept is often discussed in the context of reality-shifting communities, where individuals explore the potential to alter their conscious experiences beyond the confines of their current reality. The idea is rooted in the belief that multiple realities or dimensions exist simultaneously and that it is possible for a person to relocate their awareness from one reality to another for an extended period.

Mechanics of Permashifting

The mechanics of permashifting involve several key elements that proponents believe facilitate the transition of awareness. At its core, permashifting requires a deep, meditative focus and a strong intent to shift from the current reality to the desired one. Techniques often include visualization practices, scripting of desired outcomes, and the use of affirmations to reinforce the intention to shift. Unlike temporary shifting, which might be likened to a lucid dream or a temporary altered state, permashifting aims for a long-term relocation of awareness. This requires not only mental preparation but also a belief system that supports the existence and accessibility of alternate realities. Importantly, individuals maintain awareness of their original reality and can choose to shift back, highlighting the flexible nature of this concept.

B. Applications and Implications

Practical Applications

While permashifting is primarily discussed in theoretical terms, its potential applications, if proven , could be transformative across various fields. For individuals, the ability to permashift could offer opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment by allowing them to inhabit realities that align more closely with their desires and aspirations. In the realm of therapy and mental health, permashifting could provide alternative avenues for individuals seeking escape from trauma or emotional distress by relocating to a more supportive and nurturing environment. Furthermore, the exploration of permashifting concepts challenges our understanding of reality and consciousness.

Ethical and Philosophical Implications

The concept of permashifting raises several ethical and philosophical questions. Ethically, the idea of permanently or long-term shifting to another reality poses dilemmas regarding responsibility, identity, and the consequences of such a shift on relationships and societal structures. Philosophically, permashifting challenges the fundamental nature of reality, identity, and consciousness. It questions whether identity is inherently tied to a specific reality or if it can transcend physical dimensions. Additionally, the pursuit of permashifting invites debates about the nature of reality itself—whether multiple realities truly exist and if awareness can traverse these realms independently. These questions highlight the complexities and potential consequences of exploring advanced shifting concepts like permashifting.

By examining these aspects, we gain a deeper understanding of the motivations and implications behind the desire to explore and potentially achieve permashifting, setting the stage for further exploration into related concepts like respawning.

II. Respawning

A. Definition and Fundamentals

Introduction to Respawning

Respawning, as detailed in the context of shifting and reincarnation, involves the transference of consciousness and awareness, sometimes referred to as the soul, to another reality or existence. Unlike traditional shifting, which primarily involves the movement of awareness, respawning incorporates a spiritual dimension, aligning closely with reincarnation and the idea of quantum immortality. Respawning is often seen as a deeply personal and spiritual practice that allows individuals to start anew in a different reality, often (according to some beleifs) after fulfilling certain spiritual or karmic obligations in their current existence.

Mechanics of Respawning

The mechanics of respawning are both spiritual and conscious. It involves a process of preparing the mind and spirit for the transition, often through practices like meditation, affirmations, and scripting. Respawners typically maintain that this process is not about physical death but rather about moving one's consciousness to a new reality while potentially leaving behind a "clone" or stand-in in their original reality. This concept is closely tied to spiritual beliefs and practices, emphasizing the continuity of consciousness beyond the physical realm. Respawning is often seen as a way to fulfill one's life purpose and begin a new journey in a reality that better aligns with one's desires and spiritual goals.

B. Applications and Implications

Practical Applications

Respawning offers a unique set of applications, particularly in the realm of personal growth and spiritual exploration. Many practitioners use respawning as a means to escape challenging circumstances in their current reality or to embark on a new life path that aligns more closely with their soul's desires. This can include changing one's identity, circumstances, or even physical appearance. Respawning is often used to heal from past traumas or to fulfill unmet desires in a more conducive environment. The practice has also been linked to creative exploration, as it encourages individuals to imagine and manifest realities that transcend conventional limitations.

Ethical and Philosophical Implications

The concept of respawning raises several ethical and philosophical questions, particularly regarding the nature of life, death, and identity. Ethically, the practice of respawning challenges traditional notions of responsibility and continuity, as individuals navigate the complexities of leaving one reality for another. There are also questions about the implications of leaving behind a "clone" or stand-in and how this affects relationships and commitments in the original reality.

Philosophically, respawning invites discussions about the nature of consciousness and the soul. It challenges the notion of a singular, linear life path and suggests that consciousness can exist and evolve across multiple realities. The practice also touches on ideas of quantum immortality and the multiverse, where all possible realities exist simultaneously and can be accessed through the right spiritual and mental preparations. Respawning emphasizes the subjective nature of death, suggesting that it is not necessarily the end of physical life but rather a transformation or transition to a different state of being.

By exploring these applications and implications, respawning provides a fascinating framework for understanding the possibilities of consciousness and the potential for personal and spiritual transformation. This sets the stage for a broader discussion on community perceptions and misconceptions surrounding these advanced shifting concepts.

III. Community Perception and Misconceptions

A. Perceptions and Misunderstandings

General Community Perception

In the shifting community, the concepts of permashifting and respawning are often misunderstood and criticized, particularly by those who do not fully grasp the motivations and experiences of those who practice these forms of reality shifting. Many critics argue against using shifting as a form of escapism, suggesting that it is an unhealthy way to cope with the challenges of this reality. However, this perspective overlooks the very real struggles that many individuals face in their current lives, such as trauma, mental health issues, and a lack of control over their circumstances. For many, the ability to shift offers a vital means of finding solace, healing, and empowerment.

The criticism that shifting is simply escapism fails to acknowledge the legitimate desire to seek happiness and safety in a reality that aligns more closely with one’s needs and aspirations. Many individuals who turn to shifting have already contemplated far more drastic means of escaping their current circumstances. For these individuals, shifting provides a hopeful and life-affirming alternative to leaving this world through more permanent and peaceful means.

Common Misconceptions

A common misconception is that shifting is inherently dangerous or that it hinders a person's spiritual or personal growth journey. Critics claim that relying on shifting to escape reality prevents individuals from appreciating their current lives and learning necessary life lessons. However, this argument is both hypocritical and dismissive of the very real pain and dissatisfaction that can drive individuals to seek alternative realities.

This reality is often perceived as a blueprint or ultimate standard of existence, yet this view fails to recognize that each person’s experience of reality is subjective and shaped by personal circumstances. For those who have been harmed or marginalized by this world, shifting offers a way to reclaim agency and build a life where they feel respected and valued.

The hypocrisy in the community becomes evident when people judge others for wanting to leave this reality, despite not understanding the depth of their experiences or motivations. Those who deny the possibility of shifting or respawning often do so without considering that other forms of consciousness exploration, such as meditation or lucid dreaming, are widely accepted and even encouraged. This selective acceptance reveals a narrow-minded approach to understanding the broader spectrum of human consciousness and potential.

B. Controversies and Hypocrisy

Hypocrisy in Belief and Practice

The hypocrisy surrounding the criticism of shifting practices is glaring. Many individuals who argue against shifting as escapism fail to acknowledge their own reliance on various forms of escapism, whether it be through entertainment, travel, or other means. Shifting is simply another avenue through which individuals seek fulfillment and peace, yet it is often unfairly singled out and judged more harshly.

Moreover, there is a persistent belief among critics that permashifting and respawning are impossible and that we are somehow "meant" to remain in this reality. This notion is deeply flawed and inherently contradictory. By suggesting that shifting is merely temporary, these critics implicitly deny the legitimacy of shifting altogether, engaging in logical inconsistencies that undermine their own arguments. If shifting is not real or meaningful, then why should its permanence or impermanence matter? This line of thinking reveals a lack of coherent reasoning and reflects an unwillingness to engage with the possibilities that shifting presents.

Additionally, the demand that individuals should "appreciate" or "love" this reality, regardless of their personal suffering, is not only hypocritical but also incredibly insensitive. For those who have endured significant trauma, discrimination, or profound dissatisfaction with their lives, being told to accept this reality feels like a dismissal of their pain. This attitude reeks of privilege and a lack of empathy, as it fails to acknowledge the very real and valid reasons why someone might seek to leave this reality permanently. Telling someone that they must stay and find contentment here ignores the diversity of human experiences and assumes that everyone’s reality is equally tolerable, which is far from the truth.

Addressing Controversies

The controversies surrounding the supposed dangers of shifting are largely based on misunderstandings and misinterpretations. Critics often argue that shifting leads to a detachment from reality or exacerbates mental health issues, but there is little evidence to support these claims. On the contrary, many find that shifting provides a sense of purpose, control, and empowerment that they lacked in their original reality.

Additionally, the idea that this reality is the ultimate blueprint is an oversimplification. Each person’s reality is unique and shaped by their experiences, challenges, and aspirations. Viewing this reality as the definitive version is limiting and fails to recognize the vast potential for exploration and growth in alternate realities.

Ultimately, the decision to engage in permashifting or respawning is a deeply personal one that should be respected. It is essential to foster an open and understanding dialogue that acknowledges the diverse experiences and motivations within the shifting community. By challenging misconceptions and embracing the possibilities of consciousness exploration, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for all individuals seeking to navigate their own journeys.

Conclusion

Permashifting and respawning represent advanced shifting concepts that challenge traditional notions of reality and consciousness. While these practices are often misunderstood and criticized, they offer significant potential for personal and spiritual transformation. For many individuals, shifting provides a vital means of finding solace, healing, and empowerment in the face of challenging circumstances. By examining the mechanics, applications, and implications of these concepts, we gain a deeper understanding of their potential impact on individuals and society.

Furthermore, addressing the community perceptions and misconceptions surrounding permashifting and respawning allows for a more informed and open dialogue. By fostering a greater understanding and acceptance of these advanced shifting concepts, we can create a more inclusive and supportive environment for those seeking to explore the boundaries of consciousness and personal reality. Through this exploration, we aim to illuminate the complexities and nuances of these advanced shifting concepts and contribute to a more informed and open dialogue on their possibilities and limitations.
