OKAYYYYY HELLOOOO YOU SHIFTED??!?? PACK IT UP MASTER SHIFTER 😩🫶🏽

BAE WHAT WAS THE METHOD PLEASE THESE ALMOST SHIFTS AND SHIFTING FOR TWO SECONDS ARE EATING ME ALIVE HELP A BISH OUTTTT

the anti-method (a.k.a., you were never here to begin with).

౨ৎ this isn’t a method (well, sorta). no steps, no trying, no reaching. it’s a glitch. a realisation. a quiet little crack in the mirror. it did make *me* shift !!!

there was never a door to open. never a distance to cross. you were never locked out. just lost in a dream, trying to wake up when you were already awake.

people talk about shifting like it’s a journey, a climb, a thing to chase. but what if it was always just a memory?? something lodged in the back of your mind, waiting for you to remember it? like a word on the tip of your tongue. like déjà vu.

you were already there. you just forgot.

i , lie or sit still. don’t try. don’t force. just let yourself exist, soft and untethered. feel your body like it’s not yours. just a borrowed costume, a dress-up game you forgot you were playing. limbs are foreign. the weight is someone else’s problem.

ii , ask yourself. " WHAT IF I ALREADY SHIFTED AND I JUST...FORGOT? " not “what if i go there,” not “what if i shift.” but what if i was always there? what if i just... blanked out for a sec?

iii , your brain will (probably) panic. it’ll start grasping at straws, trying to prove you’re still here. trying to reattach you to the illusion. let it fumble. let it glitch. just keep thinking :

◞ i already shifted. i just forgot. ◞ i’ve been there this whole time.

it’s not a theory. not a wish. just a fact you misplaced somewhere along the way.

iv , the mind collapses on itself. how do you know you aren’t already in your dr? how do you prove this isn’t the dream? the body stops feeling like yours. the world gets flimsy at the edges. and then? the illusion shatters.

v , you remember. not enter. not “get there.” just....remember. your dr? you were in it before you even asked. shifting? you never had to try. it was always just a breath away. you were never locked out. you just forgot the door was already open.

vi , you're there. like the ending of a lucid dream where you suddenly know without needing proof. and that’s it. you're there. you always were.

　　　　　　　　　　  ⊹　 ︶︶　 ୨୧　 ︶︶　 ⊹

the anti-method works for getting into the void as well, as it bypasses the idea of getting there entirely. instead of treating the void as a destination you have to reach, it flips the perspective :

you’re already in the void. you just forgot.

the void isn’t something you enter. it’s something you remember. it’s the default state, the space beneath everything else. but your mind, in its little desperate need to cling to reality, convinced you that you’re somewhere else. that you’re here instead of there. this method forces your brain into a logical spiral . . .

◞ how do i know i’m not already in the void? ◞ how do i prove this isn’t the dream? ◞ what if i just… forgot?

and because your brain can’t disprove it, the illusion starts to crack. your body stops feeling real. the world starts to feel dreamlike. the physical self detaches, and, poof, there you are. or rather, there you always were.

it works because it messes with the fabric of perception. if you stop believing in the difference between “here” and “there,” what’s left???? just being. just existing. and in that moment of realisation, the illusion of reality collapses. and you remember the void like an old childhood memory suddenly rushing back.

once you're in the void, once the realisation fully sinks in and the illusion crumbles, you're just there. infinite. detached. pure awareness. it’s like waking up from a dream, but instead of waking into your bedroom, you wake into nothingness. and then? well, you decide.

◞ if you want to affirm, affirm. ◞ if you want to shift, set your intention and let yourself go. ◞ if you want to just exist in the void, soak in the weightless, limitless nothingness.

there’s no next step because the void doesn’t require doing. it’s the ultimate being. you can shape it, or you can let it hold you. either way, you’re already exactly where you need to be.

what happens after? whatever you want. that’s the whole point.

౨ৎ and that is it. no trying, no reaching, just a little oh. moment. a déjà vu in the back of your mind. go play in the dreamscape. you were never here anyway.

you definitely don't require this method, or any method at all to either shift *or* get to the void, but method can be fun ! you can definitely try this one out if you wish.

I feel the exact same way about scripting.

In my teenage years, i had a story i was writing with a friend as well. She was writing and i did the drawings and we had the same experience as you. I would come to her with drawings and say « i thought of this or that » and every single time, she would reply with « i thought exactly the same thing » and «  I wrote this idea! »

I always felt writing was a magical experience were we connect with a place that exist somewhere. This is also why i like to write my dr as if it was a fanfiction. Just yesterday i was writing it to arrange the timeline in my head and i ended up writing a whole section with my dr dad that had nothing to do with the main plot of my dr, just because it was so clear in my head. It’s really like it happened, or will happen.

I’m just learning about Buddhism philosophy so i don’t want to say too much because i might get it wrong, but their vision of reincarnation is different than our western view. They see different incarnation of one consciousness as happening all at once, there is no ‘first’ incarnation. The love and deepspace plot, which is my current dr, is so connected with shifting and parallel universe that i feel like I’m learning so much about it by trying to shift there.

My experience with DR memories

I don't remember if I ever posted this here, I found this on a text document where I keep notes about shifting, I think it was for a reply on Reddit, but I'll post it here anyway in case anyone finds it interesting. Sorry if I already posted it.

My fantasy DR is based on a story I started writing with my best friend a long, long time ago (I didn't know about shifting yet), half fanfic and half roleplay, about us in a fantasy world. We were so invested and obsessed with that story, we talked about it all the time, it was our happy place. After some time, we started noticing funny coincidences, like having the same or very similar ideas for the next scene, or guessing very specific details about each other's character. Until one day, my friend told me: "I've realized this isn't just a story anymore, it's memories from another life". And I just knew she was right, I don't know why, it clicked, I naturally accepted it. It felt like the confirmation of something I already knew (the same thing I felt when I found shifting).

According to her, she got all the memories at once and was very overwhelmed, she even stopped writing for a couple of months to process everything. For me, it was more gradual, and sometimes I had trouble telling the difference from my memories and daydreams (besides hearing the same scenarios from her), but after a while it became easier. Memories were recurrent, and included very specific details, even exact conversations (in recurring daydreams the conversations and details can vary). Also, memories often came to me at the most random times, while daydreams were usually inspired by a movie, a book, a picture… I don't remember every single thing about my life there, I still have many blanks (I've been trying to make a novel of that story and it would be so much easier if I had all the memories…)

We were obsessed with finding a way to go to that world, we firmly believed it existed somewhere and there was a way to travel there. And many years later, I found shifting. I hope she finds it someday too.

I also believe (just my personal theory, feel free to disagree) that when we script, we're downloading memories from our DR, even if it's not consciously. The fact that we want shift to that specific reality, where we had that specific look, and lived that specific scenario… it's because they're our dearest memories and we have a deep desire to live them again.

Scripting as a neurodivergent shifter.

When it comes to scripting, there really is two ‘teams’ in the shifting community. The heavy scripters and the ones who have three sentences max, or don’t need/want a physical script.

Personally I’m the first, and actually i feel like it’s because of my autism.

With autism the thing is, we can’t stand the unknown while shifting is a very unpredictable experience, and our brains hates that. So for us, i think scripting is actually really important for neurodivergents so we can know exactly what we’re putting ourselves into and make the experience as predictable as possible for our comfort.

We can do things like script our whole first day, who we are gonna be with, etc…Personally i rewrite my dr as if it was a self insert fanfiction. I don’t really see it as my script, it’s a creative thing i do on top of my script to connect to my dr but it’s so precise, not day by day as i know what my routine is going to be like, but all main events rewritten with my take on it and it reassures me a lot. It’s like a safety net.

Of course, everyone is different and there is neurodivergent people who won’t need a script, but I’m bringing this up because i hear a lot on shifttok things like : making a script is an unnecessary step, you’re keeping yourself from shifting if you take too much time on your script, etc…

And i dont want people who would need it to keep themselves from scripting because of what others said.

[theshiftingfairy]

Just me kicking my feet over a reading with my dr so because all the readings i do with him are so empowering.

This is basically "you're strong, brave, independant, you can do it. But i am here when you need me"

Dawnbreaker Zayne is litteraly a shifter who shifts for MC and i can't see it any other ways

Why you care so much about your CR

Feel too attached to the CR? In this post, I will tell you why and if you understand why, you can do something about it

Many of us feel somehow guilty for leaving the CR. We feel as if we would "escape" a trap, while leaving other poor souls behind.

I did a thought experiment and reflected on it with my knowledge of psychology and I think I figured out why we feel this way.

It's because our ego, identity and purpose are determined by other people.

It's human nature. Psychology professor Martin Seligman, who talks a lot about positive psychology, explains how we derive our purpose from those around us.

We are, essentially, nobody without others. We would just be wandering around, eating when hungry and sleeping when tired until we die.

But since we live in social networks, we have a certain self-image that is given to us by others. A kid who is always praised for their intelligence will see themself and behave like a smart person. They gravitate towards hobbies, jobs and tasks where they can use their brains for their own good and the good of others.

Our ego holds on strongly to our identity, and everything that questions our identity is scary and stressful. The smart kid from my example will quickly develop confidence and pride in his intellect. However, the worst thing that could happen to him is failure to complete their intellectual tasks, especially when others can observe it. This would lead to an identity crisis.

We all have identities that consist of a whole set of labels.

We all are members of families and communities (like shifting Tumblr, haha). As a result, each of us has a unique set of responsibilities.

Our ego doesn't want us to just let go of it, its survival depends on it, and in extreme cases, our survival depends on it, since we puny humans are as good as dead without community.

The ego doesn't understand the concept of shifting realities. It knows only itself and hates and fears everything that threatens it.

"Reality is a prison and people are the prison bars"

Because they tell us who we are and we believe it.

Even when we shift or manifest, aren't our desires at least partly predetermined?

Almost all shifters choose realities and people that they saw in this CR. Almost all shifters want to be human and live human lives. Almost all shifters want to embody attributes that their community values, such as beauty, style, wealth, kindness or cruelty, intelligence, success, confidence, strength, tolerance or intolerance, uniqueness or fitting in.

It's no wonder that we can't just leave like that, when everything we learned to value was determined by our communities here.

Especially when you do not embody attributes that are valued by your community. You want to shift to be rich/successful/beautiful, but you value these attributes, because you were taught to.

And now you're on a quest to get the job done, but when you want to shift for these things, your ego and identity have something to say.

"What about me? What about your CR self? What about your CR community?"

What about them, they will always be here and they have always been here, since every moment exists forever in the multiverse.

But your ego and identity, that could only exist thanks to linear time, doesn't understand shifting.

"Don't leave me behind. Shifting isn't real, it's just a lucid dream. Go back to work, you need to take care of my, sorry, I meant your business. Yes, your business. Not mine, don't look at me like that."

Honestly, when I did my thought experiment, I saw how absurd "shifter's guilt" is.

Imagine you were living on a lonely island, just catching fish when hungry, throwing rocks when bored and sleeping when tired.

You don't have a mirror. Even if you looked into one, you wouldn't know if you were beautiful or ugly, because there is nobody else to compare with. You also don't know if you're strong or smart or funny. You have no concept of these things.

There is nobody to impress and nobody to help. You just live.

Now imagine you discovered a portal to a different island, one that's a little bit nicer. Would you go?

Yes, you would. Your life will be the same, just a little bit nicer. You leave nothing behind. Not anybody else, not your identity, because you don't have one.

"Hey shockmaster, what the hell should I do now?"

There are some things that can help you detach from your CR to shift.

1) Consider how much you want to detach from your CR. Do you want it to vanish forever or just make the bonds a little weaker? This will determine what steps are suitable.

2) Always remind yourself that you are awareness, not a physical body. You are just aware of it.

You can do this by saying affirmations or by consuming media that support this belief.

3) Question labels. Do you call yourself lazy? Why? Because someone you know works harder? Or your teacher said so?

4) Question your values. Do you like strength? Why? Because you felt unsafe in some situation? Because someone you know admires strength?

5) Treat the CR like a dream. It's not special. You may have not shifted much, but you had so many dreams. What makes them less valid than the CR? Think carefully about this. Could it be that your ego wants you to forget and discard your dreams so that you can focus more on egoic interests?

Don't forget to treat the people in your CR as dream characters, at least in your mind. Your ego likely thinks that your relationships are special, but are they really? Would you be friends with the boys and girls from school if you had never gone to school? Would you live with your parents if they weren't your parents?

6) Shift to a DR that is similar to your CR. If you just can't help it and feel like you have business to do in the CR, do them in a nicer CR.

7) Shift for a vacation. Just go on an adventure and then return to your CR. Have fun, your ego will not mind, hopefully. But if done successfully, your ego will comprehend shifting much better. It will get easier.

8) Abandon your CR identity and shift to a reality that is extremely different. A good choice for people that think their CR is totally inadequate. Use the LoA and embody your new identity already.

9) Achieve the void state. You'll be liberated from your identity and ego enough to shift to any reality without persistence. Lucid dreams and astral projections are effective, too.

Good luck! Live how you want.

Why does my fyp thinks i want to see Caleb all the time ? I’ve only reposted Sylus posts, so where does it come from ? And it’s just Caleb, none of the other Lads guys are showing up.

Don’t get me wrong, i like you Caleb, but i want my dragon 🐉

[theshiftingfairy]

how i feel every time i get to the timeline section of my script

[theshiftingfairy]

I love it when I’m working on my script and add small details for the fun/ aesthetic and later realise it actually has a huge symbolic on the larger scale of my dr and it all make perfect sense like it’s meant to be.

I had two « aha » moment like this when working on my new script.

I’m working on my love and deep space dr . It’s a little more complicated than that because I kind of merged it with the plot of life makeover (in a little more serious tone though.) I don’t have the ability to shift to something that is not a crossover, mismatch of a bunch of media, which makes doing dr introduction complicated 😅

I gave myself this butterfly / fairy aesthetic, so I wanted my robot assistant to look cooler. I mean Sylus has a mechanical crow, so why not ? So instead of the floating blob robot from life makeover, I had this concept of a butterfly robot, and as a detective, i thought it was cooler to have something that could pass as an accessory, for going undercover and such.

When it came to name it, I searched for deities related to butterflies and who do I come across ? Psyche. A deity sometimes represented as a woman with butterfly wings, and goddess of the soul.

And my Evol/superpower in this dr is related to mind reading, aka reading the soul, how perfect is that ?

First of all The story of Eros and Psyche is my favourite love story from the Greek mythology. Second off all the union of soul and desire ? Perfect story to represent Sylus and me. Beauty and the beast is kind of retelling of this story too, which I always thought this story fits Sylus well.

The second aha moment I had is I associated the forget-me-not flower with my dr subconsciously, i don’t really know where it comes from but…it’s in the name of the flower…granted, it’s not as obvious in my native language.

[theshiftingfairy]

I’d like to apologise to my shifting mutuals for reposting all this lads Sylus posts they didn’t ask for 😹

Today’s his birthday so that’s my way of celebrating. Frankly I came here to find inspiration for his birthday card cause I’m so bad with words I still don’t know what to write ^^’ And now I saw all the gorgeous cakes other players made for him and I need to redo mine x)

Anyway, happy birthday Sylus 🎉

[theshiftingfairy]

A couple of things that I love and adore about Sylus ♡♡

(For even more things, go here)

His eyes. They are so beautiful and expressive. They so often convey his inner thoughts and feelings without him having to say a word. Such as how they twinkle and light up when MC touches him, and at other times soften or widen with love as he looks at her.

His smile. I adore the way his face is transformed by it, how his sharp features noticeably soften, and how unguarded he looks for once. It's also adorable how you can sometimes glimpse his teeth. He kind of resembles Toothless ^^ His eyes closed smile is also really cute, it makes me think of this.

He is a lover and a yearner with every fiber of his being. He couldn't be further from the toxic mafia dom that booktok likes to pretend he is (on the contrary he represents healthy and secure masculinity at its best).

His way with words. He can drop the most gorgeous, poetic lines you've ever heard in your life just like that. Without them ever sounding cheesy or too much. They always feel like they come directly from his heart.

He can't hold a tune. He can't peel oranges in one go. His luck is abysmal. He uses Mephisto as a (veil thin) excuse to see his gf time and again. He gets sad when he can't find MC's hair tie. He bumps his head on MC's furniture b/c he's burj khalifa sized and then wants her to blow on his boo boos. He uses up all of her shampoo to smell like her. etc. What I'm trying to say is that he is a loser loverboy in a 6 foot something body. And it's incredibly endearing <3

His draconic traits – his affinity for treasure, his greed, his need to hoard, his desire to mark and be marked by MC, his striking proportions and size, his specific ways of showing and receiving affection.

He is so freeing and healing. MC can always feel whatever emotions she wants and needs to when with Sylus. He tells her outright that she never needs to hide a single thing she's feeling from him, and that he wants to provide a safe space for her to show her "vulnerable belly". She is able to be open, unguarded, and honest around him. Another thing that he encourages and cherishes is her playful and childlike side, and I adore how carefree she is able to be with him. He has created a space for her where she is free to be wholly and unabashedly herself.

His banter and sass. He's funny af. Even if some of the things he's said in his text messages and in the café have lowkey made me want to smack him on MC's behalf ijbol. Overall I love his sense of humor and how playful he is with MC.

The sounds he makes when he's kissing MC. He is so breathy, so love drunk. It's a big contrast to his usually smooth demeanor.

The fact that he is a biker and a mechanic. What can I say, it's attractive as hell.

His moral ambiguity and complexity. He is not a character that can be boiled down to either or (ie morally white or black) or simplified, and to try to do so would be to do him a disservice imo. He is incredibly well written and hugely rewarding to analyze and deep dive into.

His habit of one arm carrying MC every chance he gets.

His love for animals and nature.

His singing. I know I make fun of him for it a lot but I honestly adore it and wouldn't trade it for anything. Not only is it sweet and uniquely him but to me it's also symbolic of doing and enjoying things that you aren't necessarily good at. Because as long as it fulfills you and makes you happy it doesn't matter how proficient or talented you are or aren't. Be like Sylus and never stop doing what you love doing, regardless if others think you aren't "good enough" at it.

How sincere he is in his way of showing love. You can tell that he truly means every word he says, every gesture he makes.
