uhhh we listen and we don't judge

this got so long whoops

I have a hard time choosing whether or not to script out past trauma for my childhood dr (literally just shifting 15 years to the past with very little changes) not because of any special reason but bc I think it'll be boring without it x.x

I have some super sus drs. DDNE type shit. but I'm literally the only one getting hurt bc I love being a victim ig so it's okay 👍🏽

this might be a weird coping strategy but its fiiiiine

we listen and we don't judge

you can do anything in your dr. literally anything. and bc of that, I am a dog in one of my drs. I'm literally just some rich girl's spoiled lil lapdog that follows her everywhere and competes in dog competitions. idk what that says about my personality but whatever!!!

I might actually make a post abt it because its so cute and fluffy

Fiction based realities where you take the artstyle of the source material (like an anime reality based on something like MHA being 2D) make me so uncomfy for no reason. Idk what it is, but it freaks me out. I know you're not flat in that reality, and everything is technically 3D in that reality and will go as smoothly as you intend but my brain CANNOT understand it. I'm so happy y'all get to shift to realities like that but I have to make everything the same style as this reality.

I have a reality idea where I'm a stereotypical, popular, mean girl, highschool bully. I don't really have any desire to hurt people or be mean in this reality, but I am SUPER curious what it's like to be in that mindset of someone who can get away with shit without consequences and gets off on being mean. It's not an important reality and I probably won't be shifting to it anytime soon, but it's an interesting idea.

I have a lot of realities where I'm a teenager. Discourse around age changing is so so so damn stupid and redundant and doesnt even make sense.

I didn't get to have cute teenage angsty romance in the old reality, so I want to have all of that. Realistic to this reality or some disney or riverdale shit. first kisses, making out behind the school, crushes, rumors, awkward first time, toxic boyfriends. GIMME. alexa play teen idle by marina and the diamonds

i am up to FREAK shit in my wr. FREAK shit. i am a WHORE—

shifting is still very niche, don't get me wrong... But I miss when the community felt much smaller and tighter with that little sense of wonder it had. I miss 2017 shifting culture on amino before it blew up on tiktok. It just felt more free, less rules. It still had its flaws, but I am very nostalgic for it in a way. I might be looking through rose tinted glasses, yk??

I'm actually really happy I didn't shift when I first discovered shifting. I looked at old scripts and saw so many things that wouldn't make me happy. I was like, 13?? 14?? I'm 21 now lmao thank God I took such a huge break from it. I know what I want, and its already mine.

This one isn't that unique, but shifting to be another race doesn't bother me. I don't care if what the person it doing is fetishizing or super offensive. I don't care if their view of a certain culture and what they're taking from it is super narrow-minded and fucked up. It's their reality, and I won't even touch that shit with a 50ft pole.

BUT the issue comes when they start crossing boundaries in the old reality. Definitely a bad idea to start acting a fool in a reality where you know you'll be taking part in harming communities that already receive enough shit as it is. All you have to do is... Keep that shit in your own script, in your mind, don't show it to anybody, and then you won't be part of the problem.

As a person who has a very otaku, animecore, redditbro "thing but JAPAN🗾😲" coded dr but not Japanese in this reality... Istg it's not that hard to separate your idealized version of the culture you're apart of in your dr from the version of that culture in this reality. The "Japan" in my dr is not the same "Japan" in this reality, and that will never effect my view and knowledge of this reality's Japan or its people. They deserve as much love and respect and care as literally everyone else. This mindset applies to literally any reality where my race or culture is changed to one that is already in this reality.

we listen and we don’t judge: SHIFTING EDITION !!

ill go first, i actually dgaf if you script a different age for yourself. Literally who the fuck cares??????????

[shiftlevishift]

do I want to make a script for that reality or do I just want to make a self insert oc and make silly art for them

[shiftlevishift]

its taking everything in my soul not to script to a Sally Face dr. Like okay little gay boy you have a crush on the 5'7" blue hair pronouns twink but you DONT need to script a whole new reality for it. you DONT need that. I DONT NEED TO. I have a reality I want to focus on, that I want right now, and I know I can get to simply just bc of how badly I want it.

but GODDDD I NEED THAT MAN. I NEED TO BE IN THE LATE 90s/EARLY 2000s. I NEED TO BE IN THE MIDWEST. I NEED TO LIVE IN A SHITTY APARTMENT WITH MY DAD NEXT TO SAL'S. I NEED TO BE ASH'S BEST FRIEND ARNGARNGARNG GNAWING AT THE BARS OF MY ENCLOSURE.

[shiftlevishift]

so jealous of u bitches that have pictures of your dr s/os here because my boy literally doesn't have anything like that </3 he's all in my memory for now until I buckle down and shift. I have to draw him if I want to "look" at something of him, which is fiiinee because he's so pretty but ughhh I can't wait to see his face in person :(( he's so cute I love him

[shiftlevishift]

discovering shifting was like finding gold.

12 yearold me day dreaming that sebastian from black butler or england from hetalia would pick me up after school: wdym I can just... have that happen?? fr??

what do you MEAN Joel from the last of us could like, actually be my dad??

Wait you mean I could be BORN A BOY? AND LIVE LIKE A BOY FROM LIKE,,, THE START??

I CAN SHIFT TO BE A SHAPESHIFTING DRAGON??? WOAGH—

Me and the other shifters that used to just be maladaptive daydreamers after finding out about shifting

[shiftlevishift]

I have so many things I wanna post here but uhhhh actually making the post is like. difficult.

like I wanna make a lil intro on my dr s/o and make moodboards of my friends and all my realities. but I feel so silly doing it for some reason??

and like I love sharing this junk but actually SHARING it?? ru crazy??? It feels like I'm revealing my diary or something.

obviously there's no pressure to do any of that, it's just for fun while I still choose to be in this reality........ but i wanna!!! I wanna post!!! I wanna gush about my lil bf and the stuff we're gonna do back at home. I haven't interacted with the shifting community in so long and seeing posts on shiftblr are so cute and make my belief so much stronger. <333

[shiftlevishift]

I love shifting bc what do you mean after years of grieving my childhood/teenage years I can just go somewhere and go to high school and just do mundane things and heal…
