[sarida-candy]

honestly, what is your dream life

Honestly, I know that I want to change my life, several details or all my life.

For those who don't know, I'm 15 years old. I knew the subliminal at 12-13 years old, I knew shifting around 14 years old, the manifestation I knew it around 14 years old too. I know that for some I am too young to want to change my life. But, I know that I am the creator of my reality, so I don't see why I would wait.

As with shifting, I make scripts, from my desired life. Precisely, that's the problem. I don't know what to do with my life because of all the realities I want.

I already think of having a portal in my room to move to the desired reality, but, I want to live a life in a universe not in several.

I've already gathered several dr/scripts that could, but it's not all compatible

In all my cript, there are several things that are different from my cr such as: my first name, last name, appearance, the place where I live, my family...

There are some important things that I don't know what to choose like: my age, I'm 15 years old but, I want to be younger, to redo my childhood. My work, in most of my dr I am: dancer, actress, singer, idol, youtuber, TikToker, ballerina, model. In most of my scripts I follow all this at the same time, except idol. Be I am an idol, be I am the rest. But in some dr I am a princess, in others I am a goddess.

Age and my work is a major part of my life so I should finally agree and stop changing my script or creating a new one.

If you want to help me you can come and talk to me, I would be grateful because, right now, I'm completely lost

Hi!

I'm sorry to bother you but I'm working on a ghost (for the first time) and just can't figure out something... So I thought maybe you could help? No obligation, I'm just getting frustrated.

I'm a beginner with next to none experience with code prior to that and I'm using the very useful Girl and Triangle template from Zarla.

I've set menus where you can ask stuff to my character and one of the options is for him to tell stories, some are long. And long stories somehow keep getting cut by RandomTalk. Even if I put the talk rate to none, then it's the specialized talk for december who decide to pop and disturb the story...

I tried many things and I might have done them wrong maybe but I just can't figure out ;w;

The stories are stored in word.dic so that they're randomized upon selecting the option

So if you have an idea on how I could go for my ghost to be able to tell his stories without interrupting himself, I'd be so grateful!

Have a nice day and thanks anyways

Hi! It's not a bother at all, helping with ghost-related matters is what we're here for.

I'm a little confused what you mean by the specialized talk for December. Is that a part of RandomTalk, or something else outside of it?

Either way, the first thing I would do is make sure that your stories have a menu choice at the end, like a clickable option that says "done" or "thanks" or "back". It doesn't necessarily have to lead anywhere (if it doesn't lead to anything it will just close the balloon when clicked), but having a menu option should prevent other scripts from interrupting until the user has finished reading. You might also consider adding a \* tag to prevent the menu choice from timing out.

An alternative to this would be to use a \x tag at the end. This would keep the window open until the user clicks, and also should prevent the interruption! If it's a long story, you might consider using \x every couple of paragraphs. It can help to break it up and make it easier for the reader to process, in addition to helping block other scripts from interrupting.

If those don't resolve it or you don't find them to be ideal solutions for your ghost, send us another ask with further details! You can also join our Discord server for more immediate help; it can be easier to fuss with the details when we can ask questions and get replies immediately. (If you'd prefer to stay on Tumblr, you can feel free to DM me as well!)

Also, as a sidenote: these stories don't need to be placed in word.dic to be randomized! It's a common myth. Which dic file you put a function in has absolutely no bearing on how it works, the different files are just for your organization. If you would find it more helpful to place them somewhere in another file, don't be afraid to move them around ✨

I need your help with a hypothesis!

For context: My linguistics professor and I got into a discussion after a test she did with us, and I was of the opinion that the reason for the results was different from the one she offered, so she encouraged me to test my theory.

What I need

All you need to do is draw a coffee cup (with a handle, not the disposable stuff) and then answer three questions.

I don't need to see the coffee cup. You can draw it wherever you like; on a piece of paper, digitally, in the sand, on a foggy window. Anything works. It does not have to be good. A doodle is fine.

You have to draw the coffee cup before you see the questions. This is very important. If you decide to help me with this, please doodle the coffee cup before you keep reading.

Assuming you have drawn the coffee cup, I now need you to answer these three questions:

On which side did you draw the handle?

Are you right-handed or left-handed?

Do you primarily write using the Latin alphabet or a different one? (please specify which)

More context

Most people will draw the handle on the right side. My professor says it's because most people are right-handed, so they draw the handle in the direction that would be comfortable for them to pick up.

I said drawing it on the right side just felt more comfortable to my hand and argued it's probably because we write a bunch of letters like that. B, b, D, P, p, R all look like a tiny "handle on the right side" and are all a straight line followed by a round one (so "cup first, handle second," like most people draw cups). The Latin alphabet doesn't have letters like that that face the other way, except maybe d, depending on how you write it, so it makes sense to me that people writing mostly Latin letters would go with the handle on the right side.

Which means that I need to know what Asians, Arabs and Greeks do and if the distribution of left and right sides of handles differs from the Latin alphabet group. Cyrillic seems to favor right, too, though it'd be interesting to see if there are differences.

If there are, my theory is right. Doubly so if there is a sizeable increase in a group whose alphabet has letters that benefit the left side choice.

So feel free to spread this to as many people as you like and put the answers in the comments or the tags of a reblog. The more answers I get, the better I can assess whose theory is better.

Thank you for your help!

ACT I: 1 - 2 | ACT 2

[shiftlalou]

"I had a dream about my dr but I didn't shift.." GIRL . . . . . . . . . .

Dreams are often overlooked in the shifting community, and I’d like to share my perspective on this.

Why do you feel upset when you only dream about your desired reality instead of actually shifting? I understand it can be disappointing, especially when you’ve put in the effort and energy to shift, but we shouldn't dismiss dreams in this process.

When you use dream methods, you're essentially training your subconscious to remember your goal of shifting. If you're dreaming about your desired reality, it’s a sign that your subconscious is engaged and actively working towards that goal. It indicates that your mind is becoming familiar with the concept of shifting, and through these dreams, your desired reality can start to feel more natural and attainable.

Moreover, dreams can serve as a bridge to deeper understanding and connection with your desired reality. They allow you to explore the scenarios, emotions, and characters within your desired world, which can enhance your overall experience when you do achieve a successful shift. Instead of viewing dreams as mere distractions or failures, consider them as valuable practice sessions, where your mind is rehearsing the experiences you long for.

A common issue among many shifters is that they tend to place their desired reality on a pedestal, which can create unnecessary pressure. This mindset can lead to frustration and feelings of inadequacy when things don’t go as planned. I don’t mean to generalize, but I believe many can relate to this. Embracing your dreams as part of the shifting journey can be a valuable step in the process.

✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. '•.¸♡ ♡¸.•' +:ꔫ:﹤ ✧˚ · . ˚ · . ༉‧₊˚. '•.¸♡

When we recognize that dreams are a form of progress, we can shift our mindset from one of disappointment to one of appreciation. Each dream can offer insights, help to clarify our desires, and even strengthen our intention to shift. So the next time you find yourself feeling discouraged about dreaming instead of shifting, take a moment to reflect on the significance of those dreams and the role they play in your journey. They are not just fleeting images ; they are a testament to your commitment and the groundwork for the experiences you wish to create.

If I Should Stay

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

He’s staring at him.

Steve Harrington is staring at Eddie Munson.

The thing is, people don’t just stare at Eddie. Not for any reason that means anything good for Eddie. So when, completely unprompted, the fucking King of Hawkins High walks up to Eddie and says, “I need to talk to you,” Eddie thinks he’s entirely justified in the squeak he lets out.

“You? Talk? To me?” Wow. Great job, brain.

“Please,” Harrington whispers, and Eddie thinks desperately this must be some kind of joke, except he’s good at reading people, and he knows the desperation in Harrington’s eyes.

“Okay,” he says, stammers. “Um. There- there’s, behind the school, a, uh-”

“Table,” Harrington nods. “That works. Just…” he sighs, rakes a hand through his hair. “Leave the lunchbox at home.”

Eddie’s eyebrows hit his hairline. “Then what the fuck do you want with me, dude?”

“I can’t explain. Not here, not now. Just. Please. After school, okay?”

Eddie looks at him. Really looks, studies his face, understands the lines by his eyes, the tightness of his mouth. His heart thumps as he realizes. He’s scared. “Okay,” he says, and means it.

Eddie’s a man of his word, so after school he makes his way to the table, pausing when it comes into view. Harrington’s already there, sitting with his head in his hands. Eddie calls out from a couple of paces away. “You sure you don’t want anything from the lunchbox?”

Harrington jumps, hands up, eyes round. Relaxes a little when he sees Eddie. “No. I- I’m good. I can’t, actually.”

Eddie frowns. “What, like, a sports thing? No one’s gotta know, dude, I’ve never been busted, I can keep a secret.”

Steve gives him a half-smile. “No. It’s- it’s not a sports thing. Just… sit down? And promise to listen?”

“Okay,” Eddie says, because he knows how comforting it can be to just have someone there, and he’s not a dick; clearly Harrington’s going through something. Though why he approached Eddie, of all people, he doesn’t know.

“Okay,” Harrington repeats back, taking a breath before starting. “If I were to tell you I’m from the future, a future in which we know each other, how would you ask me to prove it?”

Eddie blinks. He was ready for a lot of things, but not time travel. “Um. I dunno, man, I haven’t really thought about it.”

He takes another deep breath. “Can I try?”

“To- to prove you’re from the future?”

“Yeah.”

Eddie laughs, a little hysterically. “Man, where the fuck do I get the strain you’re on?”

He blinks. “What?”

Eddie gestures at him. “Come on, man, you have to admit you’re not really making sense here.”

Harrington sighs. Takes another breath. Says, “You live with your uncle Wayne. Your father taught you to hot wire cars when you were nine. You listen to Dio and Metallica and Ozzy Osbourne but your favorite song is I Will Always Love You, by Dolly Parton, because it was your mom’s favorite. The guitar pick you wear around your neck was hers. She taught you guitar. You love The Hobbit. Stop me when I’ve said enough.”

Eddie’s never been more scared in his life. “Listen, man, I dunno where you heard all that-”

“Eddie,” he says, implores, and digs something out of his pocket. Opens his hand to reveal a ring.

A ring Eddie already has on his finger.

“What the fuck,” Eddie whispers. Grabs for the ring before he can tell himself it’s a bad idea. Examines it, sees the dent from where his finger had gotten smashed in a door.

His hands start shaking.

“I’m from 1987,” Steve Harrington says, sure as anything. “And I’m trying to stop something terrible.”

“And what would that be?” Eddie asks, feeling strangely detached from the whole thing.

“Your death,” Steve Harrington says, still sure as anything.

How to persist in shifting.

If you catch yourself thinking, “Oh, I’m not in my DR,” while shifting, it’s important to shift your mindset immediately. That thought keeps you anchored in your CR. Here’s how to persist past it:

1. Don’t Engage with the Thought

When that thought arises, don’t fight it just let it pass.

•Instead of reacting with frustration, treat it like background noise.

•Imagine it floating away, like a cloud or a passing car.

2. Flip the Thought

•If you notice yourself thinking, “I’m not in my DR,” immediately replace it with a affirmations.

•Even if you don’t fully believe it, keep affirming it until your subconscious accepts it.

3. assume you are already there

Instead of waiting for proof that you’ve shifted, act as if you already have.

•If you wake up and think, “Oh, I’m still in my CR,” assume it’s just a temporary perception error.

•Try touching objects, looking around, or closing your eyes and visualizing your DR.

4. ignore your CR senses

If your body still feels like it’s in your CR (like lying in bed), ignore it.

•Imagine that your DR body is separate from your CR body.

•Focus on DR sensations instead, like the feeling of a different bed, air, or environment.

5. persist until you fully transition

•Some people experience “in-between” states before fully shifting.

•Instead of giving up, relax deeper and continue affirming that you’re already there.

Oh boi, thanks for the fast answer! It's very helpful and I think I understand how I can do it now ^^

yeah I thought about /x before but it didn't work properly

I think I'll go with the menu option! And yeah I didn't thought I could move around my randomized stuff so that's great news and will absolutely help me uwu

Thanks again for getting me out of pit of frustration XDc

Have the nicest day ever <3

Anytime! If you have any questions in the future, don't hesitate to reach out!

ik you were joking but I would be genuinely interested to hear about the flux cowriting credits strife if you feel like going into detail on it

So I have a big conspiracy theory about season 13 of Doctor Who ("Flux"), namely that there's a lost episode was scripted and even possibly filmed in near entirety, but ended up being cut and cannibalized in post production due to behind the scenes issues, and the fandom has yet to pick up on it.

For anyone who doesn't watch the show: Flux is a miniseries of Doctor Who; a full season was not commissioned because it was produced during Covid. The most important stuff about it for the purposes of this post are:

It's 6 episodes long (¹). The episodes are all directly continuous and could not be shuffled around. (I should clarify here that, no, the showrunner can't simply choose on a whim to make 10 episodes, or only make 4; they had to stick to 6, as that was the amount they were picked up and scheduled for)

The showrunner, Chris Chibnall , wrote every episode apart from episode 4 (Village of the Angels) which he has a co-writing credit on.

(More subjectively but perhaps relevant) The season is largely considered to be kind of a structural mess and (less subjectively) there appears to some abnormal and consistent production issues (²)

So the first thing I need to evidence here is that Chris Chibnall, aforementioned showrunner and writer of the entire season, was late. Like, really late.

Word of mouth gossip had been circulating for a while that there was some sort of on-set problem involving filming having to be paused because he was still finishing scripts: (³)

This would later be confirmed at a Gallifrey One panel (⁴) with Matt Strevens, the executive producer, who suggests that filming stopped to allow Chris Chibnall to finish scripts; he further implies that large swathes of episode 5/Block 2 weren't written until Episode 4/Block 1 (in which Kevin McNally debuts) was filming:

So with that context, let's talk about that Episode 4, "Village of the Angels", the only episode not attributed solely to Chris Chibnall. Co written by Maxine Alderton.

The filming pics reveal an interesting bit of trivia for Village: namely, the clapperboards show that the story was actually filmed as episode 5, not 4:

As the above tweet suggests, this doesn't make much sense. The miniseries is, again, a single continuous plot. It's not like they flipped Village and the current episode 5, Survivors of the Flux; the latter explicitly takes place chronologically after it. And yet, Village having been intended as the penultimate episode 5 is further evidenced by the original trailer for it, in which a character states that the story takes place on the 28th of November. This line is dubbed over in the final episode and subsequent trailers to instead say the 21st:

Why is this line important enough to dub? Because that's meant to line up with the air date of the episode. Episode 4 aired on the 21st and 5 on the 28th. But something happened in post production, and now it's episode 4 on the 21st instead (⁵):

So if none of these episodes were moved around but it does seem like Village was meant to be episode 5, where and what is the original episode 4?

I have a theory.

Flux has a recurring subplot involving two side characters, a married couple (Bel and Vinder) who have been separated by the titular disaster and are traveling the universe to reunite with each other. This story is told through segments sprinkled throughout the episodes. These have a different writing style (including a diary-esque narration only present in these scenes) and an internally consistent visual style that looks somewhat different to the other parts of the season.

Village of the Angels, for instance, is a moody, dark episode set in a village in the 1960s:

However, Bel and Vinder's segments in the episode have a somewhat different look:

On top of this, they never intersect with the episode's A plot (literally or in any clear thematic way), and the majority of these segments piece together into one single scene that seems to have been cut up.

So, what I think is that the bel and vinder scenes across the middle of the season were originally a single full story, an episode 4 that took a breather from the main plot and characters to follow the lives of these two side characters; the differing visual and writing style is due to it originally having been filmed separately and with a somewhat different artistic intent. I believe Chris Chibnall's cowriting credit on Angels exists because these specific scenes are from a script he wrote, but that otherwise the Angel script can be credited solely to Maxine Alderton by normal cowriting standards.

"But wait," you might say, "I thought there were already 6 episodes that are all plot relevant? If no episodes existing right now can be cut, how could this 7th episode exist?"

Remember this tidbit:

The adventures in question comprise a large amount of the next episode (Episode 5: Survivors of the Flux), nearly 20 minutes of a 50ish minute runtime (and frankly, much of the rest of the episode is somewhat fluffy build up that feels like it's taking advantage of an extended runtime). A version without this added plot would, in my opinion, only warrant one final episode rather than two.

I think the showrunner, still scrambling to finish scripts as the episodes were being filmed, and making a snap decision to include a new major subplot (⁶), wrote a finale script so long and with so many plot threads that the only way to keep all this material of was to split it into two episodes, 5 and 6. And because they only could only make 6, he had to get rid of one of the previous 5 episodes - the already scripted and filmed ones - to make room for this new episode 5. A tough order when it's a plot-heavy miniseries... if not for episode 4 being a standalone divergence from the main plot about the lives of two side characters, one that could, in theory, be cut up and dispersed throughout the season without continuity issues for the main story.

(Some notes and clarifications under the cut)

(1) some sources initially reported the episode count as 8; this wasn't inaccurate - the 2022 new years/easter special were part of the episode order. Flux itself was always meant to be 6 episodes long. (2) A few of the production issues include: - episodes filming without a second draft:

- the fx team that had been on the show since 2005 abruptly leaving midseason (because they "didn't feel like part of the team anymore") and returning as soon as the creative team changed, including the head of the studio implying they weren't properly credited (mild vfx body horror warning in link):

- people working on additional projects such as books not receiving clear information on the characters they were assigned to write:

- and likely a director who was put on hold due to a script being rewritten:

Among other things I can't directly cite at the moment, including vfx artists having to do whole episodes solo in crunch time and writers not being told their work was massively overhauled until it aired due to major changes being extremely late in production.

While I don't wish to pontificate too much here and many of these things are pretty normal by themselves, I do think it could paint a picture of a production where an episode well into filming may genuinely be cut on a whim and without consideration for the crew, artists, etc. working on the show. (3) This reddit post comes from a leaker who was known to be consistently accurate. (4) Gallifrey One does not allow filming of panels. I know Kevin's livetweets of panels to be accurate. (5) It's very, very unlikely the entire season was moved back a week, as the premier is a Halloween special that was certainly always intended to air on Oct. 31st. (6) I don't wish to insinuate Chris Chibnall is, throughout his career, an inherently poor showrunner, but I do think that maybe his jump from police procedural - a genre that doesn't involve quite as much concept art, vfx work, marketing, convention panels, set building, episodic storytelling, and keeping in touch with expanded universe producers - to flagship science fiction adventure show may have contributed to some of these issues, especially when he was already in the mindset that things could be changed on a whim (perhaps not such a major issue when it's broadchurch and no new sets need be built)

(source) Basically I don't really think this is "the showrunner's fault" or anything; more that a perfect storm of a showrunner who was habitually late on scripts, used to writing lowkey cop dramas, covid, an entirely serialized season, etc. may have led to these issues
