Dive into your creative stream
my 50¢ on this:
It's a psychological problem. Humans are born with an instinct to worship others, particularly those who've accomplished what others could only dream of having. When it comes to shifting, the community doesn't rely on themselves but rely on the one's who have reached that level of "impossible". They see them as some kind of "god" and believe that if they put all their trust and support into the creators, they'll have a better chance at shifting themselves, which in my opinion is plain stupid.
moral of the story: stop relying on people who've shifted to help you shift, it's an individual journey !! you won't get anywhere closer to your goal if you spend all the time you could be spending in your dr putting others on a pedestal.
Idk something about how (some if not most) shifters will treat you better when they know you've shifted kinda reminds me of classism, like why is there a hierarchy in the shifting community 😭💔
sushi does things no human can wrap their minds around (yet)
ate some sushi. Never kill yourself
to shift is to be free, to shift is to explore all those unknowns, to shift is to experience love, to shift is to live.
I feel like the reaction to gnarly kinda shows how much music has been monetized like no one's actually trying to understand the song (music IS poetry), they just see a surface level meaning of the lyrics and a beat they don't like and click off. You don't have to like it and I'm not tryna say gnarly is a super meaningful song but y'all could at least try to dig a bit deeper (like how gnarly can mean something good or bad. I choose to believe the tesla name drop was said with negative connotations 😭). And I get it, I liked the sound they had at debut too, but guys, music is about expression and evolving. Getting your art shoved into a box is so frustrating, I wish we could treat art as art and not just as a commodity

”🤓☝️you shouldn’t just make your dr a romanticised version of your life-“
BITCH TF AM I SHIFTING FOR THEN?!?!?!?
hey emma!! how did (or do) you deal with the misplaced anger after you wake up in your cr ? i feel like i get so flustered and i feel so down abt myself :’)
i let myself feel it. spiral, if need be. you're not a failure, just homesick
whenever I come across a post talking about how people below certain ages shouldn't be shifting, I almost agree with it.
but then I remember I was 12-13 when I found about shifting, and how I was in the worst of places mentally.
and that the only thing that kept me going was my belief that shifting was real, even when I doubted my ability in doing so successfully.
and how i'm so much better and it's only cause I continued and didn't give up, and how shifting played such a big role in all of that.
that's why I strongly believe that shifting finds you exactly when you need it most. whether you're 2 or 20, it comes to you when it's meant to.
everything conspires and works to bring it to you, in that exact moment that you find out about it.
so don't let anyone tell you otherwise <3
shifting is my hobby. in my free time i am a mermaid, solve murders, have a debate with aristotle, ride a dragon, climb a mountain, relax while watching the stars with no hair pollution. i can do everything when im bored and come back some hours later. living the life.
LET’S DO THIS
ONE LAST TIME . . .
( ৻ꪆ ) my name is kenadie gwendolyn bailey, and i am earth-127’s one and only 𝐒𝐔𝐍-𝐒𝐏𝐈𝐃𝐄𝐑! my “how i got bitten,” story is a little embarrassing, but if you must know, then i guess i can let you in on my secret. i used to work at a design studio known for their innovative ideas and creative pieces! but then one day their ideas got a bit too innovative.. me and the others in my department were tasked to make golden shawls, sounds easy enough! that’s what i thought before i saw the spiders. we were tasked to make golden spider silk shawls. us. inexperienced design apprentices were supposed to harvest spider silk.. there was bound to be a disaster! i just got caught in the crossfire.
( ৻ꪆ ) for the past 3 years i have had to keep the villains of new york in line, maintain a mostly positive image, and constantly dodge this (unfortunately cute) reporter desperate for a story! so when jess and miguel asked me to join the spider society, i was all for it! i wouldn’t have to handle all of this by myself now! plus i made some pretty cool friends! for instance theres hobie the resident “cool guy,” venoria (@vshiftsss) aka the best person here, and my dad away from home — peter!

yeeeahh so in my DR he's literally a werewolf?? uhm anyways, we started hanging out when he was starting to "change". in that time, he had terrible health and uncharacteristic mood swings. any typical werewolf transition era would be shitty, but his was especially bad. since im a witch, i used little spells to help my new found friend from the sidelines. eventually my tricks werent enough, and i had to pull out the big guns--summoning & making a contract with the wolf miraculous to keep him alive (omitting the explanation to why this works, and im sure the whole story is a bit confusing already...). since then he had a "special" bond with me, not because of any magical or supernatural shit, but gratitude and a great deal of respect.
used to date marionette before me, and i used to date adrien. talk about awkward!
"why a werewolf, pheenix? 🤨" cause theyre hot???
Hello people! I hope you are all doing amazing! For everybody that is reading this and want to shift, I hope it gives you motivation!
So firstly y'all need to know that my DR is Stranger Things (season 3 because the mall looks fire). I have found this walkman from my dad like maybe a week ago and decided to listen to my Billy Joel mixtape. I bought those melatonin gummies and decided to try it out and I ate 2 of those as well.
WHAT I DID BEFORE SHIFTING:
So I laid down on my bed, my walkman in my hand and I close my eyes as I felt the gummies having their effects on me. I started to fall asleep and as the music went on I started to count and just feel my body and my surrounding as I was just focusing on waking up in my dr.
As I was trying to keep my focus on my music I slowly started to feel myself just melt in my bed and my music was slowly fading out and coming back but all of a sudden it just stopped, which at first made me so confused because it is supposed to be 45 minutes long and I then felt like I wasn't in my bed. I was elsewhere.
THE STORY TIME:
As I felt this weird feeling, I realised I was slowly waking up and someone was actually just shaking my shoulder. I opened my eyes and didn't feel my headphones nor the walkman in my hands. I turn to the person that was shaking me awake and it was Hopper (he is my dad there). He looked at me and it is AT THIS MOMENT THAT I REALISED THAT IT WAS NOT A FREAKING DREAM.
I looked around and I was a bit freaked out because this is clearly not like a freaking lucid dream nor a normal dream. He looked at me and basically just said: "can you get your butt up because Marie (my best friend there) keeps spamming the phone and won't stop calling until you wake up"
So I got up and freaked out a bit and Hopper noticed that and went: "are you good? You look disoriented". I assured him I was alright but in my head I was FREAKING OUT. I was happy he couldn't see how my brain was ticking in my brain because he would have been sooo worried.
I got myself ready and as I was putting my shoes on, Marie came and I got in her car. We were heading to the mall. I was so happy and still was freaking out how IT IS ALL FREAKING ALL REAL. I was looking around I was almost on the verge of actually pinch marie to see if she would react but instead I was just playing with the radio she had in her car and she was like: " what the hell are you doing? You know my freaking radio does not work so don't bother trying". And I was like: "Yeaaa yea I totally knew that already!!". (I think she was suspicious about something)
We then arrived to the mall and we just started to hang out and just shop around at the Gap especially and other store. We even took a look at the Radio Shack that they had and it just computer stuff but still hella cool (I kind of miss Bob). THE MALL IS HUGE. THEY ARE SO MUCH STUFF TO DO THERE IT IS JUST CRAZY.
Then Marie and I decided (mostly Marie) to go to scoops and guess who works there???? STEVE WORKS THERE AAAAH. I was totally trying not to freak out but it was hard not to. So basically we walked in and I was trying to keep myself concentrated on Marie and I went like: "Oh so Robin works here? I bet you only wanted to see her because you like her right?" I was basically teasing Marie with Robin and I waved at Robin. She is so so nice. And she waved back while Marie literally answered me: "okay stfu she is right there".
And then..I saw him...Steve freaking Harrington. He has the sweetest smile. If I was an ice cream I think I would have melted like RIGHT THERE ON THE SPOT. HIS SMILE IS SO PRECIOUS BUT ANYWAYS. We walked and he just always has this thing that he passes him hand through his hair all the time??? It is a bit annoying but his hair looks so fluffy as well.
We walked to the counter and Steve and Robin were just bickering about that stupid board with "you suck/you rule". But he just cut the conversation and talked to us saying: "Hi you guys want anything?" And I STAYED SILENT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO ANSWER AND HE LOOKED AT ME AND SAID: "Oh it has been a while since we have seen each other ah!" AND I WAS JUST PANICKING RIGHT ONTHE SPOT AND I WENT LIKE: "oh yea.. you are right it has been a while!"
So after that he looked at us and said: "So maybe so cherry jubilee ice cream?" He was a bit fighting with Robin because I believe that since Robin also has a crush on Marie she wanted to serve us just so she could talk to Marie. And while marie agreed to it I said that I wanted to taste the blue ice cream which was "smurf's flavour" AND IT WAS DELICIOUS but he literally said like: "that is the one we sell the less because it has the worst flavour of all" and was like "I don't care I want this one" AND THE WAY HE SHRUGGED HIS SHOULDERS AND PULLED OUT HIS FREAKING SCOOPER MAN...I am a fan for this man.
So...I asked for one scoops only but he gave me 3 instead and I didn't had to pay omg like what??? What a gentleman. So I thanked him and walk to a table with marie and sat down my back facing the counter so I couldn't see them. And after we were talking about some random stuff with Marie I FEEL SOMEONE WALKING NEXT TO ME AND IT WAS FREAKING STEVE. I lightly tapped my shoulder with his index finger and went like: "oh yea..do you...know about that party tonight? Do you plan on going?" and I look at Marie and frowned a bit saying "Well I would love to, but I would only be allowed to go if Marie and Jonathan were going" So marie agreer to it as Robin was also gonna be there.
So I agreed on going and he was like: "Oh well can't wait to see you again!!" After we finished our ice cream and as I grab all my shopping bags he grabs one of mine and looks at me and say: "oh don't forget this one" and I went like: "Oh yea sure give it to marie thank you" I SWEAR I MUST HAVE SOUND SO DRY BUT I WAS JUST SO FREAKED OUT!
So me and Marie walked out and she brought me back home Hopper was not there because he must have been to work. Eleve was not there either and I still don't know where she was probably at Mike's. Marie left to go grab some stuff and as I settled down on my bed I was thinking about all the stuff that happened to far and I was thinking about shifting back so I could enjoy my next shift without freaking the fuck out.
so I shifted back and woke to my walkman but it was not playing anymore it was just turning.. SO THAT WAS JUST AMAZING AND I CAN'T STOP FREAKING OUT OF HOW REAL THIS IS AAAAAH.
one of my least favourite aspects of the wider harry potter universe is the lack of interest that the author has in fleshing out the universe. there are so many questions that i, as a shifter and fundamentally curious person, have about how magic works, different magical societies and more.
the map above is a map of all the wizarding schools in the world. not many, right? and to top it all off, the way they perform magic is identical between schools. again, ridiculous.
in reality, this is not how society works. i'll use philosophy as an example; eastern and western philosophies are fundamentally different due to how isolated these two geocultural entities were from each other and how their values were intrinsically different, especially in the past.
so, when i was narrowing down my harry potter reality, i decided to make my own version of illvermorny school that i felt was far more fleshed out compared to the vague, uninteresting backstory that the author gave.
maybe if she spent less time being a transphobic prick and more time actually writing an interesting story, i wouldn't have to do this, but i digress.
here's illvermorny, where i attended school in my dr. (as an additional note, i spelt illvermorny with a double l at first without realising that it was one l, but it eventually stuck because i thought it looked better.)
there are about 200 or something magic schools in the world. most are small, regional schools focused on providing a decent education in magic to open up doors. some, like durmstrang/beauxbatons/hogwarts/illvermorny, are incredibly prestigious, open to only the absolute best students or those from prestigious families.
illvermorny college of magic was founded when the first pilgrims settled in america, unaware of the wizarding stowaways on the mayflower. although the indigenous peoples of america have their own magic traditions, the few wizards that snuck onto america to escape the chaos of england after the founding of hogwarts were the ones that brought the ‘spell system’ of magic to the country. the first students at illvermorny were young, muggleborn wizards and witches, the first of its kind. indigenous students were allowed to study as well, creating a culture of magic that went beyond the typical pureblood-muggleborn dichotomy of europe and britain. the school's first few years were incredibly proseporous as the magical community thrived in early america.
eventually, however, suspicions rose amongst muggles about illvermorny and the earliest recorded witch trials happened. young wizards and witches were rounded up like cattle and burned at the stake for so-called satanic activity.
only a couple of wizarding families managed to escape, trekking up to applachia, creating modern illvermorny. early modern illvermorny had many strange, outright cultish rituals due to its isolation.
the school only started accepting new students during the british colonisation period, through a scouting program thats famous across the world for its scale and intensity; illvermorny scouts are said to be absolutely everywhere in america, mexico and canada. students outside these countries have to personally message principal regis to request an interview.
the modern school has no dorms and no sorting totally unlike hogwarts. rather, there are three housing towers where students stay, named after water (maem), fire (iesh), air (avir), the three classical elements. - students live, eat and sleep in these dorms, where the majority of their relationships will be formed. along with that, there are 5 covens active at illvermorny, which is how extracurricular student relationships are fostered.
students board k-12 and spend all of their youth at the school. classes operate on a university style elective system for years 7+ where different timing of classes and professors are highly valued.
there is no uniform or dress code during class, however there is a formal uniform for special occassions.
wands in illvermorny is very different to hogwarts. wands are highly customisable, and typically glass blown by artisans. they are made for the user, customised to their preference. a famous wand making family is the van der zee family.
the actual curriculum at illvermorny in the early years is focused on practical applications of magic. spells are taught exclusively non-verbally at first, and wandless as well. in senior years, high specialisation in fields is prized, particularly because illvermorny values academic rigour. - illvermorny participates in the quadwizard tournament with beauxbatons, hogwarts and durmstrang, and have won 200 years in a row.
blood purity is not nearly as prized by american wizards. rather, wealth is. wealthy, old money, prominent families such as the hastings of pennsylvania rule over american wizarding society. although these oligarchs claim to care about progress, what they value most is maintaining their power.
on another note, american wizarding society is very secretive. the oldest wizarding families have almost no interactions with ‘nomajs’ due to their fear of persecution. each state in america has its own magic community, but the two most prominent ones are in NY and california. a strong rivalry exists between these factions.
the strongest debate in american magical politics is that of the nomaj problem. so-called traditionalists and progressives argue about nomaj’s connection to magical society, if families of magical students should be aware of their status and even if nomaj should be allowed to interact with magical beings at all, even in a non-magical context.

LESS STRESS
Not only should you not complicate things, you don’t have to put in excessive effort. Persistence is, of course, good. But everything should be in moderation. You don’t need to overdo it so much that you feel like you’re toiling away at a factory.
You don’t have to prove anything to anyone, even to yourself. Yes, yes, you already have what you want, why prove anything? And especially don’t prove anything to your brain, which asks questions and whines: “Is it possible? How? When?” Shut its fucking mouth and read. That’s what they said: “Shut up!” and let it just try to yelp something. Let go of control and just watch how reality shows you what you want. It will have no choice but to show you this.
Manifestation and shifting are about comfort, not about endless struggle.
Do you like the pace at which you live? If everything is given through force, then it's time to take a break. You are already in the desired reality. You already have all your manifestations. You do not need to toil for this, pump up your thinking to the level of a god, aff to exhaustion. Just allow yourself to live and not to fight.
It is better to think like this: the less stress, the faster you receive your manifestations, the easier you shift into the desired reality. So right now, let go of tension, breathe deeply, relax ... exhale and let go. Do not just say to yourself "Yes, yes, I let go of control" and then go back to stress. Take and let go, relax and feel it.
Why stress if you are already in the desired reality? Why stress if you already have the life of your dreams?
Your struggle does NOT guarantee a result or successful shifting. Shifting is not a practice where doing a method 100 times guarantees you will shift. Manifestation is not a practice where repeating an affirmation 10,000 times guarantees you will get a result. The result depends only on YOU. But I sincerely do not understand why you should put a spoke in your wheel and look for the most difficult paths.
Why fight if you can just relax?
I can't help but giggle like a psycho 😭
i don’t know about anyone else but i physically can’t watch anything with my s/o in it except for fucking edits. i can’t even think about watching any of the things he’s because i just get so flustered 😭
unfortunately I will be stealing these/j
⌨ mha dr / stuff I'm considering scripting into the campus
1; the dorms could look like a neighborhood. do you see the vision. it would literally be so cute because I might renovate them (again 💔) to be more like apartments. Give me a fridge and a microwave I swear I'll be responsible with it
2. I still don't know how the campus is set up but that one is kinda what I'm thinking? The track would be the stadium instead and there would be a fence around the perimeter but still
3. the views from the educational buildings (one for each year) being pretty
4. A gym would be nice (I'd never use it but still)
5. Giant chess near the dorms
6. Book benches??? Pls it's so pretty
7. I still don't know how it want the locks on the dorm rooms to look but regular padlocks are boring and I'd lose a key so fast
8. Those kind of charging ports everywhere because ain't no way the #1 hero academy in the world has bad charging ports
9. I am NOT walking from the dorms to the training buildings, soo miniature buses are my only solution
