Silly things I’ve scripted into my Pokémon DR 🤍
As someone who tries not to script too much, I often put them into conditional statements. Or they only apply to me the individual.
~ I get to have more Pokémon on my team because I’m emotionally attached and invested. If I become a part of the Kalos contests, then I will have two to three separate teams on my person.
~ I am special and can understand Pokémon under certain conditions. For example, if I am wearing a certain necklace with a moon stone from Mt Moon, I can talk to my Pokémon to some extent.
~ When we are in S/M or Alola, the curriculum is a bit more involved with the whole Pokémon aspect.
~ A whole separate region that allows trainers to fight alongside their Pokémon because I AMM NOTTT letting my Pokémon get hurt like that
~ If I catch certain Pokémon then they will be shiny (I have a whole list)
My team btw (for the most part)

A little context: Marie LaCroix is inspired by the real world religion of Voodoo, not the media depiction of practitioners of black magic. Her name comes from a mix of the real historical woman Marie Laveau "The Voodoo Queen of New Orleans" and one of the Voodoo Loa (Powerful Spirits) Baron LaCroix. Because in the Pokemon world Legendaries are treated as Gods I took some liberties with the depiction of Voodoo. Some but not all Loa were once living people of great influence like leaders of families, while others represent a fundamental force of nature like gods. Because that role is already filled by Legendaries, I am leaning more on Loa being powerful and influential deceased pokemon who take on an important role in the governance of the Spirit Realm and how the living and dead are able to interact between realms I am not trying to culturally appropriate the beliefs of another culture, I have a genuine interest and appreciation for the Voodoo religion and want to depict it as accurately as possible.
Marie Lacroix was born as part of a long lineage of LaCroixs, part of the Gede family of Loa; Powerful spirits who represent the powers of Death and Fertility. Members of the Gede family are tasked with the noble duty of overseeing an aspect in the cycle of Life and Death. This can include (but is not limited to)
-Ancestor Worship/Allowing Channelers to Commune with the Dead -Bringing spirits to the Living world for special festival days -Maintaining and Guarding Cemeteries -Guiding the dead to their place in the afterlife -Sparing loved ones, especially children from dying -Deciding when a person's time has come
and -Meeting the spirits of the Dead on the other side and giving them peace that they have passed on. This last one is the duty of the LaCroix family. The Samedi Family sends the dead to the afterlife and the Lacroix family meet them there on the other side to take care of the recently departed.
Marie LaCroix was meant to become the next head LaCroix Loa but she was a free spirit and forfeited the duty, because she did not like the idea of being forced to into a duty she did not want for her family just because it had always been that way, and would not force this duty on her own child. It's not as through somebody else couldn't take the role in her place so she wasn't leaving the dead unattended with her absence.
She moved to Treasure Town to distance herself from her family but remained a quiet voodoo practitioner, became a Baroness of Treasure Town and a very highly regarded socialite, but discovered she was infertile and could not have a child of her own...possibly simply medical or maybe a curse from family...she wouldn't know for sure but she suspected it was probably her family. Over the years she hired on many Salandits to work for her, and had many lovers including another Salazzle who lived close by but never married.
Then in her mid 70's she heard that a Salandit girl had been caught on the streets trying to pickpocket, and was now being held in an orphanage. She decided to go meet the little troublemaker a 7 year old Kaida who that day would become Kaida LaCroix. The two of them were exactly what the other had been looking for; Marie needed a daughter she could love and Kaida wanted a mother to be loved by. Admittedly she spoiled Kaida more than a little bit but she always made it a point to be involved in Kaida's interests. Then when Kaida was 14 Marie got sick and passed away but her time being a mother was the happiest time of her life.

Did anyone ever think about this: botw/totk x Legend of Arceus? It goes maybe like this:
Arceus: Oh no, I've got this slightly disillusionised, scheming, angsty drama queen teaming up with this slightly more minor diety than me and they may or may not end up tearing holes into my creation.
Arceus: Hylia, my bestie, whatever shall I do?
Arceus: I'm thinking of borrowing a protagonist somewhere and giving them amnesia so that they'll do my bidding...
Hylia: ...
Hylia:... you know what, I've got just the guy for you.
Hylia, mind vibing with Zelda: Descendant, my mortal self, Zelda, my dear, there's this friend of mine who's somewhat in a pinch -
Zelda: You're not borrowing Link.
Hylia: He can keep a version of the purah pad/sheikah slate and the data he records goes to one of your labs.
Zelda: You're still not getting him.
Hylia: That friend of mine lives in an entire different time-space.
Zelda: ...
Hylia: Different plants and creatures and people and magic/technology -
Zelda: Deal!
Zelda, slightly embarrassed: But I've got conditions.
...
Hylia, to Arceus, offering Link: Here, take this, it's dangerous to go alone deal with time-space issue on your own.
Link, in Hisui: ...I'm supposed to let these fluff / cute / weak thingies fight for me?
Link, stick in hand, bunch of wild pokemon defeated at his feet: Why in the name of Hylia would I do that?
(Later, when the pokemon get bigger and stronger and his weapons stay sticks and maybe the occasional Traveler's Sword Weapon/hunting knife/what have you, warms up to using pokemon the way he fights with the Champions)
Link, seeing a Ponyta for the first time, five minutes before burning himself trying to ride it: I'm naming her Spicy.
Meanwhile, back in Hyrule, the science trio having access to Link's inventory: What is this and this AND THIS???
The science trio, serving as the farm area: WHAT ARE THESE THINGS???*delighted* (No, Link is never getting a single pokemon back from them)
Meanwhile, back in Hisui.
Link, seeing flaming horses and sea dragons and walking plants: If Zelda wants some of these for herself/science/to rebuild Hyrule, they better be trained well. *proceeds to teach them come, stay, and let-me-deal-with-this, and, showing them a picture of Zelda, be-good-for-this-person*
Link, watching an Alpha terrorize its surroundings, thinking of the Yiga: These are going to be her new royal bodyguards until I get back.
Hisui gets a culture shock. In the future, it shall be known as the only region where trainers literally fight side by side with their pokemon.
Link gets new recipes, new ingredients, a new region to explore, gets to get Zelda like 100/10-30k+ years worth of birthday presents, gets to help rebuild Hyrule (indirectly), gets to play with new toys, NEW CLOTHES, and doesn't even have a murder cult after his blood. Almost a vacation if the apocalypse wasn't looming, but hey, can't have everything.
(Henceforth, Pokemon inhabit Hyrule, making life significantly easier for the next Hero.)

What Am I Doing?
I’m combining witchcraft with the Pokémon games.
To start, I’m using the Pokémon Database as a reference and using primarily Gen 7 movesets, if a Pokémon comes in after Gen 7 I’ll use the movesets from their generation. ~~~
Every day I work with a Pokémon they go up a level, they learn moves as usual and if leveling up is all they need for evolution they’ll evolve as usual.
For moves learnt from level one, if there's more than four moves available I'll roll four dice and pick them base of the numbers I role, if there's only one move I'll choose an egg move to balance it out.
For evolution that requires a level and trading, I just go with the level. If it requires trading but not a level I’ll double the level they evolved from or just go with the first two numbers of their Pokédex Number, excluding zero, if the trade is for the Pokémon’s second stage. If it requires an item at all I need to find something as close to the item as possible and use it with leveling up or on its own, I also have to safely dispose of the item once it's used to evolve my pokemon. And if i requires a specific place I’ll also try to find a location similar to it. Examples: - Trading, 3rd and/or Final Stage: Gastly evolves into Haunter at level 25, so Haunter evolves into Gengar at level 50. - Trading, 2nd and/or Final Stage: Phantump’s Pokédex Number is #708, so Phantump evolves into Trevenant at level 70. - Trading & Item, 3rd and/or Final Stage: Duskull evolves into Dusclops at level 37, so Dusclops evolves into Dusknoir at at least level 74 and when I have the real-world equivalent of a Reaper Cloth. - Trading & Item, 2nd and/or Final Stage: Onix’s Pokédex Number is #95, so Onix evolves into Steelix at at least level 95 and when I have the real-world equivalent of a Metal Coat. ~~~
My starter Pokémon is the one I get the choose, the rest of the Pokémon I add to my party will be the ones who, in a way, choose me. If I see something, or if something happens, I’ll take it as a possible sign and see if any Pokémon fit it I'll add them to the team, regardless of the Pokémon.

You mentioned how they recorded some tiktoks on the arcphone. I propose they've discretely recorded a couple videos of everyone. These clips and those letters are the only real collection of things to prove that that love and understanding where real and people's disrespecting pronouns isn't just because of the "times".
Sage prepared to waltz into a history museum and correct literally everything there. "No listen it wasn't acceptable once I got to Jubilife. Look if you misgendered me in that village literally everyone was on you. Same with the clans. Like 10 different people came out after I started talking about myself."

My take on the Pokemon/Batman thing
Listed here are Bruce, Alfred, Dick, Jason, and Tim! Damian, Steph, Cass, and Duke will be listed in a second part
Bruce: He's a RICH mf, so his pokemon, especially those he's has since childhood, are all pedigree
Growlithe/Arcanine | "Ghost" - Bruce was gifted Ghost by his parents for his sixth birthday. He named the growlithe "Ghost" after the Gray Ghost, a show Bruce and Thomas Wayne watched when he was younger
Eevee/Flareon | "Blaze" - Bruce finds an eevee during one of Gotham's coldest winter. The eevee was crouched over his owner, who had died from hypothermia. Bruce, as Batman, contacted the authorities and they took the eevee to a shelter (ig?). Later on, the eevee escapes the shelter, evolves into flareon, and hunts Bruce down-refusing to leave his side. (The eevee elvolved into flareon because he never wants to see another person suffer from the cold.) Blaze joins Batman on patrols, especially during the winter, where he huddles up next to those in need until Batman can reach them and direct them to safety.
Riolu/Lucario | "Valor" - Bruce receives an egg while training with the LOA, which hatches into a Riolu, whom Bruce names Valor. Valor helps locate victims and people in need before guiding Bruce to them.
Absol | "Omen" - Bruce finds Omen, or rather, Omen finds Bruce during a Gala. The absol was rushing around, trying to warn people of danger while the elites were trying to call security to have the absol removed. Bruce saw Omen and remembered their ability to predict disaster, and pulls a fire alarm to force everyone out of the building. Soon after, a bomb goes off and everyone escapes safely. The absol follows Bruce home and refuses to leave, thus forcibly becoming a member of Bruce's party.
Aegislash | "Rex" - A gift given to Bruce by Ra's al Ghul, almost a promise or acknowledgement of sorts. Rex hovers behind Batman on patrol, watching his back and protecting him against attacks
Honorable mentions: Ampharos (a beacon of light admist darkness), whom I wanted to include, but decided not to. Umbreon (because angst), but I decided flareon would be better. Dratini (elegant af and cool-looking), but didn't really fit the story I wove.
Alfred: He worked in the british military, so his pokemon would mostly be centered around that era
Fletchling/Talonflame | "Sprite" - Alfred was given fletchling when he was but a young lad living in Brighton. He called the fletchling "what a spritely lad", and so the fletchling- now a talonflame who's gone through war with him- only responds to Sprite/Spritely
Blissey | "Madame" (Missy by the Batkids) - Alfred found Blissey at the manor's doorsteps soon after Bruce lost his parents. He'd expected the pokemon to leave soon after, but the Blissey stuck around. Alfred called her Madame as a joke, but the name stuck around. She can usually be found following Alfred around the manor while doing chores, or helping in the cave after patrol
Sobble/Inteleon | "Lad" - Alfred found a sobble during war times, and he felt bad for the lad. The sobble stuck around, and Alfred never found it necessary to leave the sobble behind, and so it eventually evolved into Inteleon and helped Alfred in his soldier days. Eventually, they all retired, and so Lad helps his trainer around the manor, and indulges the children whenever they ask Lad to shoot an empty can or something. This is another case of accidentally naming a pokemon, because the name "Lad" just stuck
Slurpuff | "Buttercream/Butter" - A gift given to Alfred by an old fried. Butter helps him bake and cook, and can also help detect lies! Butter is beloved by all within the household
Minccino | "Argentum/Archy" - Alfred found Argentum abandoned while on a grocery trip, and took the little guy in. Archy helps Alfred clean around the manor, and loves to fuss over the kid's rooms and hair (especially Tim's)
Honorable Mentions: Sinistea, because i was REALLY tempted to make a HAHA BRITISH joke, Drampa, because HAHA OLD.
Dick: Our favorite circus boy!
Pidgey/Pidgeot | "Skyler" - Skyler was the chick of his parents' Pidgeots, and she trained alongside him basically since birth, and she was there with him when Dick's parents died
Poplio/Primarina | "Poppy" - He was given poplio during his time in the circus, and he named him poppy as a pun! When Poppy evolved into Primarina, it was right after Dick found out about Jason's death, so it was... an experience
Zorua/Zoroark | "Monsieur Fox/Foxy" - Dick found Zorua while in his tenure as Robin, and the pokemon just stuck around. The name Monsieur Fox started as a joke, but Dick shortened it to Foxy when zorua refused to respond to anything else. Foxy helps alot during undercover/recon missions, and the other batkids would occasionally ask to borrow him for a mission or another
Eevee/Espeon | "Amy" - Dick helped Bruce rescue Amy from a pokemon trafficking thing, and Blaze adopted the eevee before ANY of them had a say. Amy evolved alongside Dick, the pair growing together into Espeon and Nightwing [insert something poetic and symbolic]
Honorable mentions: Chatot, because have you SEEN dick? He's a chatty little fucker as robin, and Chatot would make him that much more insufferable. Swablu/Alteria because I think dick deserves a dragon-dancing, party-sweeping alteria 😔
Jason: Our favorite dead robin :3
Vulpix/Ninetales | "Annabeth" - Jason found vulpix when he was younger, just before Catherine died. She would try and defend him whenever Willis got violent, but the man's Kingler would easily overpower her. Jason named her Annabeth after his personal hero, Annabeth Chase :3
Eevee/Glaceon | "Belle" - Jason found Belle rummaging in a trashcan. He felt bad for her and took her in, naming her after Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Belle evolves into Glaceon in the winter after Jason's death. She sat in the snow, refusing to come inside until she evolved into Glaceon (this highlights the fire/ice duality between Jason and Bruce, and how after his death, Jason grows colder towards Bruce and their ideals and way of controlling crime differs so drastically that it resembles fire and ice)
Honedge/Aegislash | "Alexander" - Jason received a shiny honedge as a "gift" from Talia. In order to be allowed to keep it, Jason had to convince the pokemon of his worth, fighting alongside it until it evolved into Aegislash. He named it Alexander after Alexander the Great.
Zorua/Zoroark | "Marley" - Jason receives a hisuian Zorua a year before he returns to Gotham as red hood. He accepts him partly as a taunt because Dick has a zoroark, but Jason's zoroark was a ghost type (A once-departed soul, returned to life in Hisui. Derives power from resentment, which rises as energy atop its head and takes on the forms of foes. In this way, Zorua vents lingering malice. -Legends Arceus. Departed soul? Dead? Get it, Jason? HAHA). He names his zorua after Jacob Marley, from a Christmas carol (Because not only is Jacob marley a ghost, has a J name, but also comes back to warn Scrooge to change or else little timmy will die (telling bruce he has to change before TIM will die (omg i'm a genius)))
Honorable mentions: Leafeon was my first choice when it came to Jason's eevelution, but it didn't really match. Next was houndour/doom because i wanted Jason to meet it while on the streets, but decided otherwise. And then a shiny magikarp/garydos, but decided against. Same with tyranitar and garchomp. Sure, they might be cool and powerful, but i don't think Jason would actively take in pokemon especially after his death, the only exception being Marley. Plus, those pokemon are typically seen as angry and uncontrolled, and I wanted to depict Jason as more cunning, sharp- a strategist willing to get his hands dirty rather than a brainless brute who ONLY wants his dad's approval
Tim: Another rich mf!
Vulpix/Ninetails | "Aurora" - Tim gets Aurora, a shiny vulpix, as his first pokemon, a gift from his parents after their trip to japan. (You bet your ass Aurora and Annabeth have met before, which is why Annabeth refuses to fight Aurora, even when Jason orders her to. the two vulpixes use to sneak out at night and play together :3)
Eevee/ Umbreon | "Selene" - Tim wanted to be just like his heroes, and begged his parents for an eevee. They decided to give him a well-bred and pedigree shiny eevee (their son deserves the BEST). Nyx evolves into an umbreon while he and Tim were chasing after robin with a camera, and Tim decided to change her name from Silver, to Selene
Munna | "Remmy" - After Brucequest and his time after Ras and Paris, Tim gets horrible nightmares. Dick gives him a munna to try and help Tim sleep better. He was initially distrustful, but after a while, he grows to accept her into his life. He named her Remmy after REM sleep
Archen/Archeops | "Iggy" - Tim finds a plume fossil while working with Ra's. He revives it before evolving it into Archeops. They work together to catch criminals, with Archeops chasing it down on the streets while Tim pursues from the roofs.
Noibat/Noivern | "Mya" - Tim finds an injured noivern as Robin, and nurses it back to health. He tries to release him into the wild, but the noivern came back, and Tim couldn't find it in him to abandon the little guy. He names him Mya, short for Myotis, the genus for bats
Honorable Mentions: Altaria, becuase i ALSO want him to have a sweeper, but sadly no. I debated on giving him Zorua, but I felt like it was getting repetitive, and decided against it. Corvidknight too, but i thought it wouldn't have matched
As mentioned above, next part will include Steph, Damian, Cass, and Duke :3
Here's part 2!

At a young age was traded by his parents to Heatran in exchange for a Heatran forged Sword, whether they were going to come back for him or not after the battle is anybody's guess but even with a sword made by the Legendary of the Forge they still fell in battle and the Sword was lost.
He was raised by Heatran till he was 18 spending his developing years working as his blacksmith's assistant given the name Crane Forgeron. He has the skills to be a truly Master Blacksmith and Craftsman but he doesn't enjoy doing it very much because it reminds him how he was abandoned and traded for a sword. Once he was able to forge his own path in the world he left Heatran with respect for his master and guardian but had no intention of sticking around, he wanted to see the rest of the world for himself and experience a lot of life's pleasures that he missed out on given his job's requirement for discipline. He had enough money to be comfortable for a while or be financially stable if he used it wisely, but he ended up wasting most of it within the first month being away with stuff like drinking and gambling. The one line he didn't want to cross was having unprotected sex. He likes physical pleasure and thinks himself a charmer to the ladies, but he had a shitty childhood because his parents weren't there for him and Heatran wasn't much of the nurturing type, so he doesn't want to ruin his own kids' life by not knowing them and not being there.
He spent a few years wandering around from place to place, got into music as well as mysticism, took up playing the Drums and learned about how the drums could be used to send secret messages, so he started playing on the street making a little money but also broadcasting beats with just his thoughts for somebody else to hear and pick up on, then eventually he got a response and was invited to join a Voodoo Temple. The Temple's members had been using drums for years to send secret information between members to establish meeting because their practices had been frowned upon and demonized in society as Giratina worship and Witchcraft, and then all of a sudden a stranger comes to town playing his own drums in a way that matches their codes but doesn't align with the information they were trying to convey. It confused them for a while before they figured out who was accidentally messing with their signal and that this guy wasn't doing it intentionally, he just wanted to be part of something. Crane felt welcomed by the group and began to model himself after one spirit in particular; Baron Samedi
Allow me to provide a little bit of context: In Real Voodoo there is one supreme god who created the universe but this god is indifferent to what goes on in the world, instead the world is run and watched over by spirits called the Loa which can be prayed to and appeased through specific offerings, rituals, and musical performances. There are at least 232 Loa recorded but potentially more and all of them have their own unique identities; different likes, dislikes, and powers which people invoke them for in exchange for guidance and services, and will sometimes interact with people by possessing a body and taking control. Some of these Loa are spirits that exist within nature, others were formerly notable mortal people like leaders of families or tribes, great warriors, hunters, etc…
Baron Samedi is the head Loa of the Gede Family the guardians of the past, of history, and of heritage and represent the Powers of Death and Fertility. He is essentially the Loa equivalent of a Grim Reaper. Nobody dies until the Baron buries them and then meets then on the other side. You could be saved from dying by convincing Baron Samedi that it is not your or your loved one's time to die yet and he is especially merciful to children wanting to see everybody live out a full and fulfilling life of happiness before they die, meaning because he controls who dies, he also has the most powerful healing powers curing any wound, disease, or cast hexes on anybody he deems deserves to die.
Pokemon does not nessisarily have Loa as Creator Spirits who are part of Nature since they have the Legendaries and the Legendaries are treated more as straight up Gods in a vast Pantheon, but there are multiple mentions around Ghost Type Pokemon that there is a Spirit world, so perhaps this version of Voodoo follows more of the aspect of people who have passed on are able to become powerful spirits who have specific jobs interacting with the Mortal world and can be evoked and appeased by Voodoo practitioners to do certain tasks if compensated correctly.
Maybe this world's version of Baron Samedi is one of many Reaper spirits whose job is to help other pokemon transition from life to death, but unlike classic depictions of a Grim Reaper, Baron Samedi is not nearly as "Grim". Quite the opposite actually, he is known for being a lot fun and the life of the party. He usually appears as a tall man with a face painted like a skeleton or just an animated skeleton himself dressed to the nines in a tall shiny black top hat, dark sunglasses, smoking expensive cigars, wearing a black tailcoat jacket, carrying an elaborate cane, downing bottles of rum, and dancing, shouting obscenities and having sex etc…And in one variation of the good Baron he also rides around in a carriage pulled by a horse who is also dressed like him (Top hat, tailcoat, sunglasses, smoking expensive cigars, so on…) He encouraging people to embrace humor and absurdity in life and in death.
The basic message of Baron Samedi that "Life is meant to be enjoyed" resonated with Crane. He took on the name new name of Crane de Samedi to further connect himself with the Spirit of the Party Baron. He worked with the voodoo Temple moving up to become a voodoo priest of Baron Samedi allowing the spirit to ride him and act through him in the world, but some of the other worshippers started to believe he was actually a mortal incarnation of the Baron himself and became one of the head priests of their sect. On the side the temple helped him go to college earn his doctorate studying Music & Performative Arts, Religious Studies, and Archeology, he was given a role as a professor in the college being known as the fun professor who likes to party and effectively balancing a life of Discipline and Hedonism.
Then one night while he was partying he met a Salazzle named Bellinora Eleaika who used him as a one night stand and ditched, this wasn't the first time he had a passing encounter but he would find out later through the spirits that she had used her pheromones to make him get her pregnant, and was using her male children as slaves. He could not stand for this and left his comfortable life to try to be a father to his children. 19 years later he would eventually find his eldest daughter Kaida La Croix and involve himself in her life…perhaps a little late but better than never.

Heyyy! It’s parrot again! And today I have two related questiones!
Both have to do with the information that all one needs to do to manifest is desire and live in the imagination/daydream.
1: if kids often truly believe the things they are playing or imagining to be real how come they don’t accidentally manifest them?
2: i daydream pretty much constantly and have been affirming out the wazoo and i am going to continue persisting and believing and all that jazz, but i have yet to see the results in the 3D(i am confident they will come; im just getting a lil impatient lol)
Thanksssss! Have a nice day :3
Hi parrot!
1:
Children can manifest, sometimes they do (I did). However, they don't usually manifest their play pretend because on some level they do know its just that, pretend. I remember having tons of crazy beliefs as a kid but my mindset was almost always "if I wish really hard maybe it will be true" instead of actually assuming so. So, unfortunately, I didn't get a pokemon on my birthday.
Children aren't stupid and I do believe that they know they're playing pretend.
However, there were times I did apply the law as a child.
This story is humiliating but whatever, I was a child.
When I was a kid I was really into lip sync battles (now an source of intense shame lmao) and every damn day I practiced because I was CONVINCED it was going to happen at some point for me.
When we were leaving town to meet my grandparents in a more populated area I was like, welp this is it, clearly I'm going to do it now. My mother was like, why do you keep talking about that I promise you there aren't any where we're going.
I didn't listen because I knew she was wrong. We arrive and immediately go out for dinner to a random restaurant, we walk in and in big neon letters a sign says "lip sync battle next door".
My mom literally thought I was crazy the entire week leading up because she had no idea why I was so adamant that when we got there I would be in one.
Why did this manifest and my pokemon didn't? Because when I was practicing for it I did it as if it was real. I knew it was going to happen and I didn't even stop to think about when or how all I knew was I should have a song ready.
I didn't budge because I knew I had it. I knew it was going to happen no matter what.
I wasn't day dreaming, I was practicing. I wasn't hoping, I was commanding.
2:
I know many people refer to the 4D as "imagination" but this doesn't mean play pretend or day dreaming, what they mean is your internal world.
Yes as a child I was imagining it happened but I did so from the assumption that what I was imagining HAD to happen. I didn't consider it play pretend I considered it practice.
People literally thought I was dumb but I didn't stop to consider there opinion because I knew it was mine.
When you imagine the image of what you want don't think "I hope I'll get this" think "I already have this"
I think we often unconsciously undermine ourselves because we're still thinking as if it isn't here.
Asking where it is or telling yourself it's not here yet are still affirming against it.
Affirmations are just thoughts you repeat, if you're ALSO repetitively thinking against what you want then you are ALSO affirming against it.
Think as if you have already manifested it, as if having it is cold hard fact. Yes it may feel unnatural at first but that doesn't matter.
In my story from before, I didn't ever stop to wonder why I hadn't been in one yet because I knew that it was happening no matter what so timing was irrelevant to me.
Think about who you'd be if you had it, how you'd see the world, what you would think, then think as that version of you.
Personally I like to ground before I do anything because it helps me to think of it as real.
Take a look at these, i think they'll help you:
Mental diets aren't just getting rid of negative thoughts
This one's really good
