Fandom Problem #5303:

When your fandom is full of kids who think ~reality shifting~ is real, and your posts constantly get reblogged by them, and no matter how many you block, more just keep coming

[sero-pairo]

And when I see you (I really see you upside down) | A SeroRoki Fic

by I_Lack_Lilac

Sero has always been "independent" and "mature for his age". He had to be after his mother became virtually non-existent in his life after the age of 10. He was certain the scars of abandonment had healed long ago, but as the stressors of adulthood, growing up, and learning to accept yourself rear their ugly head, he's reminded no matter how old you get you'll never stop missing your mother.

OR (because I'm awful at summaries)...

Sero and Todoroki both have mommy issues. Todoroki has improved his by going to therapy. Sero has repressed his by ignoring the problem altogether and he's about to crack. Todoroki urges him to seek out therapy. Eventually, Sero figures out a path toward healing by talking through his emotions and finally letting someone (Todoroki) in.

Also, they're roommates and Sero quickly realizes he's in love with Todoroki and a big pining mess. Cue a love story about finding someone to love you in spite of all your jagged, messy pieces.

The thing with the whole reality shifting nonsense is that while the practice may well have existed for a long time and may be possible

These tweens doing dumb shit like, for example i saw one girl a couple years ago suggest staring at red lights for hours, is not going to make you magically leave your body and go live in an alternate universe another version of you is in.

As a former witch, who loved learning about dreams and souls, and stopped due to the mental and emotional toll it took to do so, i can say that this kind of practice is extremely advanced, not to mention dangerous. You cant just "do it" with a few weeks of trying and whatever "ritual" you found online. And even if you did somehow manage it, you are putting your soul in unfathomable danger. And thats IF its managed.

Nearly all those kids on tik tok are lying and clout farming, and those who do get results are just lucid dreaming. Something that is far easier to practice and build a skill in doing for anyone. Lucid dreaming is something anyone can "cultivate".

The real danger with this sort of thing is the lengths these kids will go in order to achieve shifting realities. They make up "rituals" that harm themselves and share them amongst each other. They ruin their mental health and obsess over meeting fictional characters.

People don't seem to understand that this is self harm. Most of these kids are depressed and are using fiction and witchcraft as a coping mechanism. Which by itself is not bad, infact i started practicing witchcraft to cope with my own depression and anxiety. Until you understand that just not wanting to exist in this world, or go to another is considered suicidal thoughts, they are not content to exist in this world. They harm themselves in order to reach a goal they will never reach because they are so desperate. They try to live their lives in another reality to escape this one. Its not okay. A coping mechanism is supposed to help you, not harm you, or make you harm yourself. It's supposed to help you get through your day, your life, not avoid it.

These children are delusional and require professional help

If these kids were just trying to have fun in their dreams it would not be an issue. But people are not taking their mental health seriously because they are not saying they "want to die".

Reality shifting is absolute nonsense. Even witchcraft and pagan communities, you know, the ones that actively encourage exploring shit like Astral projection, clairvoyance, and lucid dream divination point out that it's nothing more than maladaptive day dreaming. None of these kids are going to the fictional universe of their choosing and living out a scripted life with Leather Pants Draco Malfoy.

If those "studies" in the 60s are the ones I think poster is talking about...does poster know how much lsd and dmt people were experimenting with at the time? Because The Men Who Stare At Goats and all of the other nonsense Arora about as scientific and conclusive as Andrew Wakefield's awful study on thr MMR vaccine to shill his own.

Replying to 5303 I just think its funny how someone gave a lot of examples why House didn't always get away with things, only for someone to reply to that by saying he gets away with everything. This website and its reading comprehension.

reality shifting shares similarities with practices present from indigenous spiritulity to medieval christian practices, and there's scientific studies that point towards it being real that have been around since the 1960s. it may be a fandom thing to some people but posts like this feel super disrespectful.
