#shifting adjacent

[itsokimnotrealeither]

trying to get something started for people with imaginary friends, paras without paracosms, inner and outer visualizations, etc

Didn't find what I was looking for in Immersive Daydreaming or Tulpamancy places.

And there's an odd concept floating around that making a non-sentient thoughtform = cruel or unethical? Which seems backwards, if someone doesn't want or isn't prepared for that, it's like getting someone a pet rabbit for Easter when they're better off with a stuffed animal.

And while looking I've found people who have expressed interest, so...

Imagimancy (?)

(eh-maj-eh-manse-see)

Trying to make a community/tag for people with non-autonomous (or fauxtonomous) imaginaries and thoughtform constructs, NPCs and such.

similar to/overlap with: daemonism, tulpamancy, soulbonding, self-shipping, immersive daydreaming, willomancy, (etc)

considered more or less plural-adjacent

focusing more on visualization/imagination tips/talk, ideas for useful constructs, etc. No pushing people into making thoughtforms autonomous if they don't want to!

(currently very alterhuman heavy / ties to alterhumanity in general but isn't required or officially an alterhuman thing)

not trying to reinvent and re-label things, there's just a gap between communities here

"we're going to die together! Isn't that a lovely treat! I wonder how long it'll take. Maybe I'll get to watch the worms lick your bones clean."

"kill me then, if you hate me so much. Just get it over with."

"that sounds...nice. I'm so tired of the bad blood between us, but it's hard to let it go. You've hurt me....and I've also hurt you."

How do you keep going when it looks like 99% of your country has joined a cult whose soul purpose is hatred of everything you & everyone you know & love are when all you're doing is existing just like everyone else?

see, i made the mistake of thinking that people cared about fearne as a character outside of shipping and just made the assumption fans would be nasty about her if any ships were to become canon based on her character. but people clearly do not see her as anything more than a romantic interest or wingman for the character or ship they like.

like i can go into ashton's tag and find a lot of debate on what their arc is and what his opinions on stuff happening in the world outside of shipping is, but i try to go into fearne's tag to find like-minded individuals to say "hey it's a little fucked up that fearne's getting strongarmed into taking a shard she has said time after time she doesn't want that could very well thanos snap her into dust by her friends (including orym. orym.) who mere days ago assured laudna they wouldn't let anything bad happen to her but don't show her that same leeway because 'destiny said so' and 'they'd make a cute couple' and the only pushback against it is ashton feeling uncomfy and grossed out about being shoved into said couple against their will and she's just an afterthought" only to find it's full of people arguing if callowmoore is Inherently Problematic™ and nothing else talking about her outside of that except for like three guys tops

Finished DA2 so it is now EGG HUSBAND TIME

made up fic title: A Screw Loose

A screw falls out of Stede's door, and clueless as to how to fix it himself, he has to call a professional.  Enter sexy handyman Ed, who wears extremely tight denim shorts and spends most of his time "fixing" the door instead speaking in screw, nail, and hammer-related innuendos, most of which fly over Stede's head completely to the point of farce, until FINALLY Ed says something about giving him a good drilling and Stede's like "...are you flirting with me?" Anyway once they've fucked it becomes very clear (if it wasn't already) that they are in fact already married and this was handyman roleplay.  Unfortunately for the sake of realism they DID take the screw out of the door at the start and have no idea how to get it back in.

send me a made-up fic title and i'll tell you what i would write to go with it ✌️

I had a meeting with my boss today and she told me that once I finish my masters I should apply for the position under hers. She said she sees how much passion I have for this field and how great I am with the residents, and she said if management is something I'm interested in working towards, then she would support me 100% in getting there. It felt good to hear that, sometimes I worry I'm too soft at my job, but she had nothing but praise when I met with her, so I'm taking that as a win.

16. What is the best comment you've ever received? answered this here, but also to add to that, i once got a comment ages ago on one of my original stories where someone called one of my ocs a text book narcissist which actually made me very happy cause it just means i telegraphed him correctly and it came across like it was supposed to and idk that still makes me laugh for some reason but it also means i nailed the characterization which. props to me lmao

forgot to cancel the next month of the clothing rental service i used for my vacation, so i just rented a few dresses that i was interested in trying out for fun with no particular event or anything in mind, and some shapes i don't usually go for, and. i look amazing in ALL of them. this is absolutely wild. i feel so beautiful rn, which is not something i usually experience after trying on clothing. idk what it is, but i even looked good in the slip dress, which is not a silhouette that has ever remotely worked for me. i just feel really confident and good lately, it's a great feeling. idk! i'm happy! it feels good to feel good about your body!

Goeth Before Destruction // A Solas playlist

Arranged chronologically, over the rise and fall of two narrative arcs.

[ Full playlist - Spotify version  //  Full playlist - YouTube version ]

Arc One Rebellion, rise:

Dear God - Lawless, Sydney Wayser But all the people that you made in your image See them starving on their feet Cause they don't get enough to eat from God(s) I can't believe in you

Murky - Saint Mesa Dizzy us, manipulate Feel the power, start to fall Kill my brother, curse my name Murky water covers all

Which Witch - Florence + The Machine Who's a heretic now? Am I making sense? How can you make it stick? Now that I’m on trial? Waiting 'til the beat comes out Who's a heretic, child?

Throne - Saint Mesa Believe there's freedom, took my soul I'll burn your shit alive and take the throne

Rebellion, fall:

World on Fire - Klergy If you close your eyes and you pick a side Will you find yourself broken and heartless? In a world on fire, in a world on fire

Land of All - Woodkid I took a chance to build a world of mine A one way ticket for another life On a petrol stained sailboat

Achilles Come Down – Gang of Youths Loathe the way they light candles in Rome But love the sweet air of the votives Hurt and grieve but don't suffer alone Engage with the pain as a motive

(Interlude - “Now you must endure”)

My Body is a Cage - Peter Gabriel I'm living in an age Whose name I don't know Though the fear keeps me moving Still my heart beats so slow My body is a cage

Flesh and Bone - Black Math I walk alone, beside myself Nowhere to go This bleeding heart Is in my hands, I fell apart

Iron - Woodkid A million miles from home I’m walking ahead I’m frozen to the bones A soldier on my own I don’t know the way

Dear Fellow Traveller - Sea Wolf You spoke my language and touched my limbs It wasn't difficult to pull me from myself again And in our travels, we found our roads You held it like a mirror, showing me the life I chose

Arc Two Love, rise:

Falling, Catching - Agnes Obel 🎶

Dancing After Death (Stripped) - Matt Maeson If I don't get better than this man in my skin If I let go, would you hold on, would we fly? Is it safer if we just say that we tried? Are we laughing at the danger? Are we dancing after death, you and I?

Sunlight - Hozier Each day, you'd rise with me Know that I would gladly be The Icarus to your certainty Oh, my sunlight, sunlight, sunlight Strap the wing to me Death trap clad happily With wax melted, I'd meet the sea Under sunlight, sunlight, sunlight

Power - Isak Danielson I was lost until I found me in you I saw a side of me that I was scared to But now I hear my name and I'm running your way

Technicolour Beat - Oh Wonder And I feel life for the very first time Love in my arms and the sun in my eyes I feel safe in the 5am light You carry my fears as the heavens set fire

Love, fall:

Alive - Amarante I wanna touch your skin I wanna know you again I wanna feel your light I hope we last the night

Run Baby Run - The Rigs Look, can you see behind these eyes Can you see what isn't there The truth dressed up in lies Oh, daylight' dying Run, baby, run, baby run

Little Lion Man - Mumford & Sons But it was not your fault but mine And it was your heart on the line I really fucked it up this time Didn't I, my dear?

The Hearse (Stripped) - Matt Maeson I am the man we both couldn’t stand, I can’t wash off the dirt from my hands, What was it like to feel in love? What was it like to feel in love?
