#is this anything. screaming in the void here

[thesacredorb]

Just need to scream into the void really quick because i finished 3.4 at like midnight (five(5) hours ago) because after processing the story im losing it internally a little, ans also because i wanna get on the hsr side of this site (I know ive seen it with my eyes before it just keeps disappearing)

So some spoilers for 3.4 if you haven't played or seen anyone play it yet

Oh Kahslana, my Kahslana ❤️‍🩹

You poor, agonizingly sweet soul you, I wish only sweet dreams and peaceful rest for you. Fuck the canon of him being subsumed into Irontomb, fuck the fact that we won't know the end to the grand story of Amphoreus for at least 3 more updates, fuck it all, i am subscribing to the headcanon that he has gone dormant in the back of Phainon's mind.

I am choosing to believe that he doesn't become part of the machine that is trying to destroy the Aeon that made it tossed it aside, Kahslana is resting. He is in the back of Phainon's mind, finally at peace, taking the break he deserves, finally being able to step away from the chaos of it all and being allowed time to just- temporarily stop existing. He isn't gone, he's taking a break. He's taking a break from the weight the 33 million cycles undoubtedly takes a toll on him, so he doesn't have to feel his body deteriorating, cracking and becoming fragmented; a shell of who and what he once was.

Hes taking a break from the sweltering, scorching heat, the heat the burns him from the inside out, that roats his body and torches his soul. The heat that makes his body temperature so unbearable that even his tears turn to mist before they even have a chance to trail down from his eyes. The millions of coreflames have no effect on him here, they do not turn his body into kindling that breaks him down from the inside out.

Kahslana is resting, mind and body, so he doesn’t have to suffer all the memories.

So he doesn’t have to constantly all the times he had to kills his friends, the people he loves and cares for so deeply and wholly that he carries their wishes with him to every new cycle in a desperate attempt to change something; to do something different, to search endlessly for another outcome. Another outcome that doesnt involve all his friends needing to die as sacrifices for an Aeon that wishes to destroy everything; to a god they dont even know exists. He refuses so much for all that he loves and care about to be a sacrifice that will fuel the fires of Destruction to birth a new Lord Ravager that Nanook will use in THEIR army to bring the Universe to its knees; he doesn't want them to be mere pawns to a greater scheme that none of them have a say in that kills them over and over himself. Over 33,550,336 cycles of hundreds of thousands of years, he has to bring his blade down on every friend he's held dear to him, had to plunge his sword into the chest of everyone in Aedes Elysiae himself just to push his past self to the brink over and over a d over and over.

He doesn’t have to constantly be haunted by the memories of taking dawnbreaker and using it to cut down Mydei, his equal in strength, the comrade and fought for ten days and nights and eventually became close with. He doesnt have to think about the times he's had to hurt Castorice, poor sweet and gentle Castorice, to take the coreflame of the Hand of Shadow from her. He doesn't need to dwell on the memories of the one cycle where Hyacine made him pause, if only for a moment with her words, before he used the ceremonial blade given to him hy Cyrene to forcefully remove the coreflame of the Sky Titan from her. All the times he most likely had to take and take and take from all the people that he knew; Aglaea, Tribios, Cipher and Professor Anaxa, every one of them being people he knew cared for, and had to kill to protect them from a fate worse than anything he can endure.

Kahslana doesn't have to remember or worry about carrying the fates and wishes of all whom he holds dear– the fate of everyone on Amphoreus; he doesn't need to. Not anymore. His new friend, someone from beyond the sky, from far away from the lands that have trapped him for so long. He has entrusted his duty to someone he trusts can handle the weight of the world far better than he ever could; some who has finally, finally brought hope and change to the cycles of anguish he's endured.

So even with his mind and body and sould weighed down by the near futility of it all, the weight of the world that drove him mad countless times, he is allowed to rest and he passes the torch to his partner. To the Trailblazer from beyond the sky, the hero he always envisioned as a child; to the person who will carry all of their fates into Era Nova, into the bright and brilliant new Dawn promised in the prophecy.

Kahslana is allowed repose. He can finally float in a boundless void of idleness and inactivity, with no worry about the future of his planet and his people, no crushing weight of the world and their wishes to carry upon his shoulders, and no death that he feels he must bring upon the ones he loves. He has slipped into a quiet, painless, and peaceful dormancy that will last for as long as world wishes for him to.

And when the times comes for the true Era Nova, when the new Deliverer ushers in the dawn of a new age free of cycles and loops and the gaze of an Aeon that wishes to wage war on the Universe for existing, he will be able to wake and he will be able to watch. Kahslana will be able to see the fruits of his labor, will finally be able to see that all of his millions of years of cycles he's had to witness will not have been in vain; Kahslana will be able to watch the mighty Trailblazer forge a new path, and being for a brilliant and blazing sunrise where the west winds end. And after seeing the culmination of his efforts, Kahslana can rest permanently and peacefully if he so chooses.

Because that's what he deserves. He didn't tread through 33 million cycles for nothing, after all.

Pookie I have a question for your smart braincells ONE BIG QUESTION THAT ALWAYS RUNG IN MY MIND… Shifting is the act of redirecting your awareness onto another reality, that's basically all it is right? So the thing is. Your awareness moves, refocuses.. not your physical body popping into another reality or anything like that. Since the physical body doesn't matter that's also why people can shift anywhere regardless of their surroundings and position etc etc, they can shift into a DR with a room, into a bed while sitting in the backseats of a car being driven. now…. MY QUESTION IS. HOW TF DOES REWIRING OUR CR BRAIN AND REGULATING THE NERVOUS SYSTEM OF OUR CR, THE BODY OF THE REALITY WE'RE LEAAVVINGGG, DO ANYTHING AT ALL IF THIS BODY IS NOT EVEN THE ONE SHIFTING???? THE MATH IS NOT MATHING☹️

Hiya, sugarplum!

You’re right, on a core metaphysical level, shifting is not about the physical body moving. It’s awareness. It’s focus. It’s consciousness selecting a different version of itself from the infinite multiversal buffet.

But then… why the hell does every other guide and method talk about regulating the nervous system, healing the subconscious, rewiring the CR brain?

First: YES, You Can Shift Without Fixing Anything

People absolutely do shift from chaotic, messy, dysregulated states. People have shifted in moving cars, crying, angry, with no method, no regulation, mid-panic, half-asleep, after screaming into a pillow, or during a random nap.

Because shifting is a movement of awareness, not a movement of flesh.

Awareness is not limited to the nervous system of your CR body. That body isn’t doing the traveling, your attention is.

So technically, all that’s needed is:

• A target state (your DR)

• A redirection of awareness toward that state

• A release of identification with the CR

And boom. It happens.

So why regulate at all?

Because Not Everyone Has the Same Mental “Load Capacity”

Here’s where science comes in.

Let’s talk cognitive load, neural noise, and emotional bandwidth.

Imagine two people:

• One person has spent years meditating, visualizing, or existing in high-imagination states. They’re chill. Their mind is like a quiet pond. When they shift attention, it’s like gently placing a pebble in still water—it works fast.

• Another person is in school stress mode, emotionally burnt out, anxious about void failures, has a loud inner critic, and possibly trauma loops. Their mind is like a blender full of marbles. When they try to shift attention, it’s like throwing a grain of rice into a thunderstorm.

Same consciousness. Different brain environments.

Now because consciousness interfaces through the CR brain while you’re still located here (even though you’re not from here), a chaotic CR brain can:

• Disrupt your ability to hold attention

• Prevent your mind from stabilizing in imaginal scenes

• Distract you with constant CR feedback (“What if this doesn’t work?” “What if I’m doing it wrong?” “Am I in the void yet???”)

Keyword: CAN. Not all brains are like this.

The CR Brain: Not the Traveler, But the Launchpad

Think of it like this:

You’re boarding a spaceship to your DR.

Your CR brain isn’t coming with you, but it is the control panel you use before lift-off.

If your control panel is fried, AKA:

• Overstimulated nervous system

• Disorganized attention networks

• High emotional dysregulation

• Underdeveloped inner focus

—then yes, technically you can still launch, but it might take more tries, or feel more chaotic, or cause frustration loops that throw you back into CR. You can always affirm and embody the fact that despite all of this, YOU WILL SHIFT. And you, infact, absolutely can!

Now let’s get nerdy and repeat what our favorite topic; NEUROSCIENCE!

Neurobiology 101: Why Regulation Helps (Optional, Not Required)

Prefrontal Cortex

• The “executive” part of your brain.

• Manages focus, intention, imagination.

• Calm = clear signals.

• Stress = scattered, disjointed imagery.

Default Mode Network (DMN)

• Engaged when you’re daydreaming, imagining, or recalling memories.

• Overlaps with many “shifting states.”

• Becomes louder when you feel safe and calm.

Amygdala

• Fear center. Threat detection.

• When overactive, hijacks your focus.

• Causes that “spiral” of self-doubt mid-method.

So regulating your body isn’t about fixing it to become god. You’re already god. You’re just silencing the screaming toddler (your brain’s stress system) so god can speak clearly through the fog.

Quantum Perspective: Consciousness Isn’t Confined to One Body But It’s Filtered Through It

From a quantum/4D lens:

• The CR body is like a lens on a camera. It’s not the photographer. It’s not even the location of the photo. It just influences how you capture and perceive things from where you are.

• So if your lens is smudged with stress, beliefs, doubt, or 3D logic, it becomes harder to focus on alternate realities. Not because those realities aren’t there. But because you keep re-focusing on this one.

Again: you don’t need to clean the lens.

But damn, doesn’t it help if you do?

Rewiring = Easier Access, Not Permission to Shift

When people talk about “reprogramming the subconscious” or “rewiring the CR brain,” what they’re really doing is:

• Reducing internal resistance (less “is it working?” thoughts)

• Improving focus stability (longer time spent imagining without CR pullback)

• Replacing looping beliefs that tether you to this timeline (like “shifting is hard” or “I’m not good at methods”)

This isn’t required, it’s recommended for those who:

• Struggle with consistency

• Get pulled out of scenes often

• Panic when they “don’t feel something working”

• Get stuck in ego loops

It’s like clearing air traffic so the plane can take off smoother. But the plane always had the fuel. It was always going to fly.

So To Your Original Question: Does CR Rewiring Matter?

Not in theory. But in practice, for many—it makes a big difference.

You don’t rewire to gain permission. You rewire to reduce interference. You don’t regulate because shifting won’t work otherwise. You regulate because some people have too many tabs open and the mind can’t hold the DR scene long enough to land there.

Some people shift in seconds, unbothered. Some people need to train their mind like a muscle. Both are valid.

TL;DR: The Math Does Math, You Just Needed the Right Equation

• Your CR body doesn’t shift, your awareness does.

• You can shift in any emotional state, physical location, or circumstance.

• Nervous system regulation and brain rewiring are NOT mandatory.

• They’re just tools, like clearing static on a radio so you hear the song better.

• You don’t become worthy by regulating, you become more efficient.

So next time your brain goes “WHY AM I DOING THIS IF I’M NOT TAKING MY BODY WITH ME?”

You answer:

“I’m not doing this to take my body. I’m doing this so my awareness doesn’t get hijacked before it finishes the damn job.”

You’re not stuck in a contradiction. You’re working with multiple layers of self—biological, energetic, cognitive—and you’re learning to align them, not depend on them. You’re god. You shift regardless. But if your spaceship gets noisy, there’s nothing wrong with adjusting the buttons to make it feel smoother.

Hope my smart braincells helped ya!

isat everyone loops au but it’s very much a horror thing and it’s in like a conga line type formation. Based on the concept of saving the game lol. Only one person is looping and the LAST person looping is ‘Loop’ [aka they take their roles, its referred 2 as redacting in mmy notes as it basically removes them from the world entirely.] The timeloop goes through everyone, one at a time, all in a row, over and over. If your redacted you remember, until the next save happens and THEY redact and you aren’t anymore and you forget. Yeah the plot’s still 90% the same. Yeah the world kinda forms around the empty hole whoever is redacted has left. Loop is the only one who remembers everything and interacts with whoever is redacted and like…. is tthe reason the save stars exist? which makes them, technically, a secondary antagonist. Sorgy loop :[

oh to be in a cycle of love and hate and life and death and you! can’t escape! no one can! And you loop, and everyone loops, and it’s ssuffering all the way down!!!!!!!! rahhhh rahhhhhh

bonus redacted sif as an example. Haiiiii

my therapist said the way i describe anxiety was so good that she's gonna use it to explain to other patients??? so i think i won therapy actually

[imavikingo]

Everytime I look at Tumblr and see the tl I remember why I hate endgame with a passion you couldn't understand.

They fucked up Steve and Bucky so bad (yes, Bucky too bc suddenly he doesn't matter/isn't even a secondary character that deserves to be near Steve)

It's so funny to me (not) bc they talked about gay characters being in the movie at panels and interviews and even talked about Stucky at some point (basically queerbaiting) for then... Steve not even acknowledging Bucky. An awkward and impersonal hug doesn't cut it.

And Steve suddenly yearning and talking about Peggy? When he didn't even mourned her that bad and already had let her go ages ago? They knew they fucked up in CATWS with Steve and Buckys relationship, so they tried to distance them and then inserted Peggy bc ofc

(they possibly didn't have the time for a new character and they already had fucked up pairing Nat and Bruce and Wanda and Vision). Steve didn't have anyone else he cared about so they couldn't give him a new girlfriend. So they used Peggy AGAIN.

I'm not mad bc "Stucky not canon grr"

No.

I'm fucking pissed off because they did the worst character assassination and friendship assassination possible. Every movie of Cap America revolved around Steve saving Bucky at some point and him caring about him above all else, and you want me to believe that Steven Grant Rogers didn't care about him when Bucky died in front of his eyes? AGAIN? That Peggy's death was more important and impactful for him? If that was the case then why the fuck did he crash the plane then? If he cared so much about Peggy since forever?

No, that was just lazy writing and a way to reinforce Steve's sexuality "He can't be gay and you can't say that bc he LOVES PEGGY"(even tho he only kissed her once, even tho he crashed the plane and didn’t give her the coordinates, he didn't really care that much after all) they could have paired him with Nat in later movies, but they didn't.

That's why I only raise my eyebrows a lil when people say that x character will be gay canonically in a marvel movie/series. Is more than possible they won't. And if they are they're Deadpool, a secondary character no one cares about (obscure in lore too, so they can cut them off) or is plain queerbaiting again (because yes, even if you don’t see Steve and Bucky’s relationship as romantic, they DID QUEERBAIT IT)

Steve and Buckys relationship wasn't even written in a romantic way (you can ship them or not), but they tried so hard to rectify Steve's heterosexuality in endgame, that they fucked up their character arcs on purpose. And now they will always feel hollow and inconclusive. A bad taste in the mouth, a painful reminder of what it was and a what? 11 year long? characterization.

Idk man, I know I've talked about this more than three times, but omfg Tumblr reminds me why I hate that fucking movie!!! It's not my fault!!!

I know I'm going to end up writing something out of spite bc I can't take it shdkdjjcif

"It's been more than 4 years get over it" NEVER

Also the bit with Johnny Storm in Deadpool and Wolverine was also a dig (a fuck you if you will) to the fans bc Deadpool explicitly calls him Cap. And it implies that Steve as a character (not that old Steve nonsense) won't be back.

It's funny they've remade over and over again some movies (Fantastic 4, Spiderman) changed actors for characters (James/war machine, Bruce) and they include them in the multiverse/plot, but they won't do the same to some movies and some characters when they fuck up their stories, because they know if they do, they will have to acknowledge WHY they did it. Like with James/war machine changing actors.

So yeah, that's one of the reasons I don't care about Marvel anymore.

**I mean remake the movies ((Also they Can't remake Cap America bc that would mean they need to remake every important movie. And they don't have the time, the money nor the need. So that's why they decided to fuck their character arcs))

or include some characters in multiverse (they're going to do that with Tony/RDJ/Dr Doom after all, no?) and they also won't remake Cap bc the movies are amazing.

But the point stands. Steve couldn't be in DaW bc that would imply he's an alternative one or that Old!Steve was an alternative one or wasn't even Steve to begin with. But they couldn't do that ofc, no, bc that would give the fans hope in seeing Steve and Bucky together once again. So they did a dig at the fans bc "haha you thought it was Steve, but it's Johnny!"

Idk if I'm making sense at this point I'm tired af, need to sleep.

The thing is that they fucked up Steve Rogers's arc on purpose (Bucky's too, and others charas too tbh) and now they expect the fans to accept everything they give us with open arms. And imho I won't accept shit.

"Deadpool saved the MCU" how? If the other og characters are DEAD or they fucked them up too? Or are the butt of the joke now? Don't make me laugh. Most people don't gaf bout the new charas bc they only are presented in series not everyone watches (only available in one place) or are presented with characters that are dead now or as a replacement for the og characters. They aren't interesting on their own (not really, at least in mcu) and that's why most of the new stuff isn't liked as much. If they wanted to present more characters the opportunity passed already.

Also now if you want to watch and really understand 1 movie (if you don't read the comics too) you need to watch like 20 other movies and 5 shows. it's fucking exhausting.

[hoppityhopster23]

If I ever piss any of you off, please tell me. Most of the time it’s not intentionally done.

And if I pull back from a friendship, 9/10 it’s me getting scared that I’m annoying you and don’t want to impose on your life and not you.

I'm very into Jay's villain arc, it's just.. the whole Agent Walker/ the Administration set up is what I’m more into because:

The portal in Jay's division could be the key to find Arin's parents

Potential Sora vs Jay fight would be so cool

Zane's nindroid but human identity thing?? How the Administration discriminates Zane somehow

Jay. He didn't care about his job right? But does he care about his underlings? Make him see how badly injured his people are.. and make it personal. Let him invent something

And

What about this 'master of lightning joining *the path of darknessssss*'?? Would this be another "They use me because of my power" "The universe called me here" "I have to do this for (reason)" "The Administration didn't pay me enough so I'm here to get another income"

Maybe it's unfair to judge like that since the tournament episodes haven’t released yet.. I'm sorry, I might miss inventor Jay so much.. By being Agent Walker that means he has to rely on that side of him more. Him vs Sora fight would feel.. something else. It won't be just a fight but also a brain game (possible dirty play?). Jay ripping bunch of mech's cables when I just want to see him using cool gadgets more than just shooting bunch of lightning (It’s not like they're going to explore that power this time). He already did good with a gun..

Jay with any weapon actually

And I don’t even care

If it makes me sound insane

I ran my fingers through your hair

And I thanked god to touch the flame (1)

‘Cause I swore necks were made for bruisin’

I swore lips were made for lies

And I thought if you’d ever leave me

That I’d be the reason why (2)

And I don’t even care

If it’s just a summer fling

If it’s all experimental

And you go back to safer things (3)

But I swore hands were made for fighting

I swore eyes were made to cry

But you’re the first person that I’ve seen

Who’s proven that might be a lie (2)

1, okay pen game

2, I’m sobbing wtf

Thank you for answering my question! Most people who were saying that about dog breeds approached it from the way of "breeds are just what humans call dogs so they don't matter to your experience much so you're just a dog" which kinda just gave off an impression that I can only be a dog without any kind specification. As I said, the wider species isn't something I feel much of an identification as. Other dogs of other kinds are more like paratypes with a dose of "other dog" in a way.

That's........ a wild thing to say, why would anyone think that. How could being this

possibly NOT give you a pretty wildly different experience than being this?

honestly maybe it's just that I'm sick and thus cranky but that sounds like the people who think that all dog breeds are really the same on the inside and don't understand why someone who lives in a studio apartment with no ability to go out on long runs and otherwise give their dog a job to do or at least a ton of exercises owning a border collie is a bad idea.

Even within dog breeds of similar sizes and builds, breeds are typically bred with a job in mind, and their in-built instincts and behaviors are thus going to be pretty wildly different because of that. Suggesting that the internal experience, instincts, etc. of, idk, an Australian shepherd and a labrador must be ~basically the same~ is - bluntly, tell me you don't know anything about dogs without telling me. Breeds are so much more than """what humans call dogs""". If we didn't have hard evidence they're so closely related and were going strictly off morphology there's no world in which a chihuahua and an irish wolfhound would be considered the same species. Yes, there are similarities and commonalities in behavior between dog breeds that are basically universal to Dog. No, that does not mean they're the same thing! You cannot treat a husky like a chihuahua and expect good results! There's commonalities that are basically universal between primates too, does that mean that the human experience is the same as the macaque one? No!

*deep breath* okay I'm normal about this. sorry. as said, I'm sick and my filter is a bit wonky and I'm mad about both people being stupid about your experiences and people not giving their dogs adequate care because they think personality differences between dog breeds is a myth or something. the people saying these things to you are being very stupid and I'm sorry you've had to deal with them.
