!MAJOR SPOILERS FOR OUTER BANKS!

Am I the only one who thinks that the writers for outer banks ruined the show?? JJ’s death was so random and I feel like they just had it for the season for shock value(same with Sarah being pregnant)

Plus then trying to get Kiara and Rafe together feel so weird because they rushed his redemption arc. Then so many popular outer banks pages are hating on part 2 of season 4

Didn’t expect the outbreak banks to end so terribly 😭

I ALMOST SHIFTED - (SUCCESS STORY)

hello everyone!

my heart is still racing as i type this, but i just got the closest i’ve ever been to shifting completely. while awake! i think! so here’s what i did…

1) i laid down and listened to music.

this was the first way i was going to shift simply because i didn’t want to fall asleep, and i wanted to feel my surroundings change. this caused me to hyperfocus on the 3d, and then i got frustrated. so i gave up.

after that, i laid on my side and got on my phone LOL. i opened tumblr bc i saw that emma / @hrrtshape posted, and i was curious about it. it was a choose a pile post, and it was focused on your shifting/manifesting journey. i’ll link it here.

the pile i chose was the cake! and i don’t specifically remember what the blurb said, but it did motivate me to lay down and try again just cause. so i did!

2) i laid down (again) and listened to my shifting sub playlist.

i specifically listened to a void state subliminal (you can find that in my most recent ask! i’ll link that here) and laid on my side. my main focus this time was on my breathing. i let go of everything happening around me, any and all distractions both in my mind and outside my body. i also incorporated emma’s anti method into this as well!

at first, i just thought it was going to be the same as last time. but i kept at it! soon enough, i had moved on from simply being in my cr.

i’m not sure when the transition happened, but i was in a dream of some sort. i’m pretty sure i was me in my obx dr, and i was walking around a bedroom trying to plug in a record player. i was listening to my favorite dungeons and dragons podcast, and i remember humming / singing a specific part of dancing through life from wicked…

then i realized i was dreaming, even though i was awake. i know i didn’t shift fully at that point because while it did feel real, it felt almost like a lucid dream. but i knew i was awake because i could hear my breathing in the background of the dream.

once i realized i was “dreaming”, i thought to myself…

“am i in the void state?”

and considering how i couldn’t feel my body at all, couldn’t sense anything apart from the scene happening in front of me, and i knew i was still awake…i answered that question with a yes.

suddenly, the dream starts fading away. almost as if i was waking up. but instead of becoming aware of any reality, i was surrounded by nothingness.

so, i affirmed one time that i was in my outer banks dr.

before this, the subliminal i was listening to was the only thing i could focus on, but then that went away. it made this loud screeching sound, though i think that was because i leaned on my headphones too hard (happens when the noise cancelling feature is on, which it was).

then i hear wind blowing around my ears like i’m in the middle of a tornado, getting swept up off my feet and whisked away to another place.

i could still hear myself breathing, and i could hear how my breathing picked up out of panic. i knew what was happening, of course, but my ears are sensitive. the wind went away and came back, then it came back even louder, and i realized i wanted to get out.

it took a second, but i moved away, and suddenly i was back here. sitting like nothing just happened.

so fucking surreal dude. i can’t wait to do it again!

but it didn’t take much for me to get there, and it didn’t take much for me to almost shift the last time this exact thing happened.

sighhh i’m so close. we’re so close friends. we’re so close!!

also sorry if this is kinda messy i’m just writing thoughts down

END OF POST - HAPPY SHIFTING!

— 5 SENSES. ( WAKING UP IN MY OUTER BANKS DR )

SIGHT

✶⋆.˚ golden light bleeds through the threadbare curtains, casting long, dappled shadows across the wooden floor, and dust motes drift lazily in the air, caught in the sunlight like tiny suspended stars

✶⋆.˚ the walls, once painted a pale yellow, are now faded and chipped, worn down by humidity and time

✶⋆.˚ a tangle of clothes from the day before lies near the door, boots kicked over haphazardly, and the old dresser leans slightly to one side, its drawers never quite shutting all the way

SOUND

✶⋆.˚ the house is never silent. the groan of wood expanding in the morning heat, the soft creak of the warped floorboards shifting under no weight at all, the distant sound of marsh water sloshing against the tangled roots of cypress trees

✶⋆.˚ outside, cicadas begin their steady summer chant, their hum blending with the occasional throaty croak of a bullfrog

✶⋆.˚ from somewhere in the reeds, a heron lets out a sharp, rasping call, and the wind whistles through the cracked window, rattling the glass ever so slightly

SMELL

✶⋆.˚ the air is thick with the damp, living scent of the marsh—a heady mixture of salt, mud, and rotting wood, mingled with the faint, sharp tang of oyster shells baking in the sun

✶⋆.˚ the faint remnants of last night’s dinner linger in the air—something fried in bacon grease, heavy and warm

✶⋆.˚ there’s also the unmistakable scent of old wood, aged by salt air and time, and beneath it all, the lingering traces of my sister’s flowery lotion and my vanilla perfume, both contrasted against the heavier, earthier smells of the house

TASTE

✶⋆.˚ there’s the faintest hint of salt on my lips, carried in by the marsh breeze slipping through the cracks in the window

✶⋆.˚ my mouth is dry from sleep, tinged with the aftertaste of warm air and something slightly metallic, like the ghost of the saltwater i spend so much time in

✶⋆.˚ if i listen closely, i can hear the water moving outside, and i already know that when i step outside, i’ll taste the brackish tang of the tide in the back of my throat

TOUCH

✶⋆.˚ the sheets beneath me are soft from age, but thin, clinging slightly to my skin, still cool from the night air. the air inside the house is heavy, pressing against my bare arms like an invisible weight

✶⋆.˚ when i move, the mattress lets out a familiar, tired groan, the old springs pushing back against my moving weight

✶⋆.˚ my feet find the floor, cool and smooth and worn down from years of barefoot steps. as i sit up, i instinctively roll my shoulder, feeling the familiar tightness of scarred muscle pulling against the bone, a dull stiffness that never quite goes away

✶⋆.˚ the sensation is familiar, like the house itself—worn down, aching, but still thriving

You know Rafe loves you but it didn't feel like that sometimes. It felt like he loved his drugs or his friends or anything that wasn't you more.

You didn't realize you were pulling away from him. Instead of greeting him at the door like you always did, you stayed in bed. You didn't run over and start kissing him all over the face. You didn't ask him about his day. You didn't cook for him like you always did, you made food for yourself. If he was hungry, he'd eat. Which he stopped doing. Most times you didn't even want to stay home but putting on an outfit and getting ready just took more energy than you had in you. 

…

Rafe noticed almost immediately when you changed. When you stopped loving him like you did before. There were no more late night talks, no more talks about his day or even yours, no more “I love you”’s. 

He figured you were just going through some stuff that you didn't want him to know about yet. He didn't think anything of it but of course there was a voice in the back of his head. He didn't like whatever was going on between you two.

So he got clean.

“Princess?,” Rafe calls as he walks inside your shared apartment. He takes off his shoes and you don't answer. He walks to the bedroom and opens the door. You're awake, just on your phone. “I called for you,” he said softly and sat on the bed.

“I don't really feel like talking,” you mutter.

He takes your phone and puts it down in front of you. “What's happening to us?”

You sit up and hold your knees to your chest. “I don't know.. it feels like you're pulling away from me.”

Rafe shakes his head. “I feel like you're doing the same thing, like, you don't love me anymore.”

“I do love you, Rafe, and the only reason I've been acting the way I do is because it's like you don't wanna be home. You're never home now, you're always out with Topper or Kelce or you're getting high or drunk.”

Rafe sighs and shakes his head. “I'm working on getting clean, actually,” he mumbles.

You stare at him for a moment, thinking that he was making a joke of some sort. But he wasn't. He was actually trying to clean for you. “Are you really?” you say softly.

He nods. “Yeah. i wanted better for you. I know I’ve been acting off because of the drugs so I wanted to change. I’m sorry I neglected you.”

You pull him into a hug and bury your head in his neck. “I love you.”

He puts you in his lap and wraps his arms around your waist. “I love you.”

I Went To See ... Queer

Luca Guadagnino’s “Queer” is not so much a film as it is an experience - one that lingers like cigarette smoke in a dimly lit bar, equal parts intoxicating and suffocating. From the very first frame, with its “Call Me by Your Name”-esque font, the film feels haunted by the ghost of Guadagnino’s previous projects, yet it stands firmly in its own strange, unsettling world. A world where longing is visceral, reality bends at the edges, and centipedes crawl ominously across the screen, their purpose as ambiguous as the film itself. (But seriously, what’s up with the centipedes?) As a disclaimer, I have to mention I have not read the novella, and also tried to read up on the film as little as I could, just to go in blind and have the strongest reaction I could have.

Eugene, portrayed by Drew Starkey, is a man teetering on the edge of his own desire, orbiting around the enigmatic and perpetually intoxicated William Lee (Daniel Craig) in full a disheveled, world-weary form. Their dynamic is a careful balancing act between seduction and power imbalance, between want and denial. Guadagnino translates that tension into something deeply physical - through stolen glances, awkward gestures, and even a haunting “ghost arm” effect that visually externalizes Lee’s repressed yearning for Eugene. The film often plays with its own sense of touch, most notable in an almost hallucinatory sequence, where the two men are inside each other’s skin as if trying to merge into one. (You read that right.) Yet, for all its sensuality, the film never lets us forget the distance between them, between what is desired and what is allowed.

Visually “Queer” is stunning. The cinematography crafts breathtaking stills - shadows carefully placed, colors deliberately chosen - but then there are the moments that feel off. Abrupt edits, frozen frames, an odd static effect on Lee, as if he’s glitching in and out. Continuity errors stack up: cigarettes light and unlight, chess pieces seem to rearrange themselves, and the film’s pacing often drifts in a way that mirrors Lee’s dissociative state. Is it sloppy editing or deliberate attempt to blur the line between reality and fantasy? With Guadagnino, it is never clear whether the messiness is accidental or if we’re simply being pulled deeper into the main character’s unraveling mind.

And there’s the music. Nirvana’s “Come as You Are” plays over their meetcute - a choice so obvious, it almost becomes brilliant. However, Lee does indeed have a gun..even two…iykyk. Later, dreamlike animations and surreal landscapes push the film further into abstraction, culminating in an ending that is equal parts hypnotic and perplexing. Where did Eugene vanish? Did Lee kill him? The film folds in on itself like an infinite loop or snake biting into its own tail, never quite letting go.

In the end, “Queer” isn’t trying to tell a simple story. It’s about obsession, internalized homophobia, and the blurry lines between attraction and self-destruction. It exists in that liminal space between dream and reality, leaving you with more questions than answers. I guess I will have to read the novel now. Because Guadagnino is not interested in clarity - only in making you feel every moment of Lee’s dizzying, disorienting descent. Love it or hate it, “Queer” won’t let you leave untouched.
