My biggest shifting advice pt.2

If you attempt to shift before going to sleep at night and when you open your eyes, you still wake up here, read this.

Your brain has habits. So when you go to bed at night, even though you intend to wake up in your DR, you always wake up here. Why? because of your habits. Your mind is extremely used to go to bed and sleep and then wake up here, that is almost impossible to change that habit. What do you have to do then?

During the day, lay down, relax and do whatever you want to shift. intend to wake up in your Dr. Make a new habit, and you will shift.

[餘知傳] The 2nd Century Warlord (Part 1)

based on the story by @romanceyourdemons

art by @its-not-a-pen

first day as a second century warlord i have my men tie branches to their horses’ tails to stir up dust and make it look like there’s a lot of us but i forget it just rained so there isn’t any dust and the enemy can clearly see there’s like twenty of us all spread out in a line

second day as a second century warlord i bribe a bunch of kids to start singing a nursery rhyme i carefully crafted to spread misinformation and further my strategic ends but they change the lyrics to be about poop and the enemy isn’t misdirected at all

third day as a second century warlord i lure my enemy into a narrow valley and send a team of archers to shoot them from the high ground but there was a feral hog napping on the trail up to the overlook and they couldn’t decide whether to try and shoot it or just go around and by the time the hog woke up and left on its own the enemy had already passed safely below

fourth day as a second century warlord we attempt to join a battle on the side of the guy we want to ally with but he and the guy he’s fighting have really similar names and it’s finally dusty and i misread the standards and attack the wrong guy. so now we’re stuck with this total loser of a liege lord, because how the fuck do you explain that after a battle?

fifth day as a second century warlord and some sort of wizard wanders into camp, my loser liege lord wants to execute him for being a wizard but i convince him to let the wizard stay, because i want to do more weather-based strategies and i’m pretty sure having a camp wizard can help with that. after the welcome to the team banquet the wizard steals half the treasury and my liege lord’s wife and leaves

sixth day as a second century warlord my loser liege lord sends me to reinforce a city he’s taken, but in the confusion of leaving i forgot to take the token that would have gotten us into the city, so my men have to wait outside the city walls for like eight hours while i ride back to get it

seventh day as a second century warlord and my loser liege lord finally joins me in the city, it turns out he’s actually a pretty cool guy, and he isn’t even that mad at me for letting the wizard steal his wife. i decide to shoot my shot but i’m really nervous and keep on stalling because what if i mess up our relationship and by extension jeopardize the security of my men, and eventually he just says goodnight and goes back to his room, where an assassin is in the process of setting up to kill him

eighth day as a second century warlord and my loser liege lord tells me to fake defect to his rival warlord, the one i originally wanted to ally with, to find out if he was the one who sent the assassin and why. but my whole way over to the rival warlord i’m worried that this has something to do with the wizard thing or how awkward i made it last night

End of Part 1

part 2

This comic was made independently from the creator, I'm just a fan and these are my own interpretations.

Notes under the cut:

the title 餘知傳 [the Story of Yu Zhi], is the styled name of the Second Century Warlord. I translated 餘知 as [plentiful knowledge] since he's defined by a surplus of knowledge but a deficit in luck. It's also great for fish-based puns since it's a homophone. As a nice parallel, Loser Liege Lord's banner is a carp ;))). the art style was inspired by vintage Chinese comics.

The story is set during the Three Kingdoms period, (220 to 280 AD) natural disasters, infighting and civil unrest had dissolved the previous Han Dynasty, leading to a violent free-for-all. I based the clothes on the previous Eastern Han styles, mainly because there just weren't a lot of contemporary references from the 3K period (and it only lasted like, 60 years). I always strive for historical accuracy, however, the Han Dynasty was over 400 years long and some sources don't do a great job separating out the different fashions, so I apologise for any mistakes that occur.

2. there aren't a ton of drawings on what Han children looked like, but in general ancient kids hairstyles are pretty consistent. 9-15 yo boys had shaved heads with two little top knots, girls had natural hair in braids/buns.

3. the crossbow (back left) makes a cameo, it was associated with Zhuge Liang, famous real-life strategist from the 3K era.

4. the LLL and his wife thank the Warlord, (a noblewoman on a battlefield??? scandalous!). it shows the LLL enjoys the unconventional and the wife is not as timid as she appears. I thought it would be funny to make them look as Background Character (tm) as possible.

5. I based the wizard's design on sages from mythology. (Hey, he's not a total fraud, he invented gunpowder 800 years before the Tang dynasty!) Nice little character moment for the LLL who is shielding his wife.

6. What do soldiers do while they're waiting for 8 hours? (<-from the right) playing knucklebones with pebbles, whittling a little horse, feeding sparrows, gossiping with neighbour, drinking from his gourd, napping. A minor warlord can't afford to keep a professional army so they're most likely conscripted farmers who've had to buy their own weapons and armour, hence why they look so unimpressive.

7. LLL offers the Warlord a bitten peach. Inspired by the legend of Mizi Xia who bit into a delicious peach and gave it to the Emperor so he could taste it was well. "Bitten peach" was a byword for homosexuality in ancient China. I thought it would be SO funny if the LLL was actually smooth af and the Warlord was a like a teenaged girl crushing for the first time. He's desperate to taste that peach but is too timid to reach out >;))) man has zero game. negative game, even. truely the PS4 of homosexuals. RIP to the assassin in the back corner who was forced to watch the most awkward, cringe-fail attempt at flirting in the history of china play out.

8. this is what zero peach does to a mf. UnU

I don't think I've posted this here before. Currently working on some Storytime Shorts for a lil personal project.

So have this first video of My Coming Out Story for now! :'DDD

[iamagod111]

Hot take, but I don't think you need to read a bunch of books, tumblr posts or anything to manifest or shift. You only need to understand it in a nutshell. You don't need to be a loa philosopher to apply the law. The only thing you need is to assume.

I FINALLY SHIFTED LETS GO BUT I SHIFTED HERE

Now I feel like I might be delulu writing this, while ig currently I'm in my dr, which is here???? I dont know any other way to put this other than I shifted?

You might be wondering: How do you know you shifted? Welllll... I tried to give up on shifting last night, and in this reality, too, and my spirit guides started getting a MAJOR attitude, going on tiktok? I get shifting success stories, going on tumblr? Shifting success stories.

Then, I woke up to my dad getting food, which was normal. He already had food. So he put my giant chip bag on my bed, he did this every time he got more food, get me, my sister, and him a bag of chips. But then a thought pops into my head: "What if you shifted?" These aren't the thoughts I normally get. Someone put that thought in my head.. I check with my tarot cards, and I get a yes. My spirit guides planted that thought in my head.

Then I realized how easy it was because last night I made a post about texting my boyfriend about not having food at home, then I got a passing thought from my spirit guide, "If you shift you can eat" it was during me trying to give up, so they had an attitude. Then I went to bed a little while later, and I woke up here. And now I don't know how to go from here

There are not many differences from my old reality, and this one, the main being the shit ton of food, but then I got distracted away when trying to write this post.. and now there are now 2 more differences, being my dad and new mom getting MARRIED?? Because their relationship was going downhill, then a random pair of panties I swear on my life I never had before randomly appeared on my desk.

I do not recognize that pair in any way, shape, or form. But I will edit this post in case I find more, I might stay here js bc this place has more food than my old reality!! So I say good riddance to my old reality!!

HUA CHENG

(+crazy story that I wouldn't believe happened if my friend hadn't been there with me)

A friend was visiting Berlin, so I invited her to make bracelets together. After contemplating for a while, I chose to create matching Hua Cheng bracelets for my girlfriend and I!

Once we finished, we wanted to grab something to eat, so we headed into the metro. As we entered, there was a middle-aged guy who started laughing to himself (Average Berlin moment).

I didn’t pay him much mind until he rummaged through his bag and handed me something – it was a Hua Cheng pin?!?!! It looks self made too??? I think he was wearing a potato sack and had a unicorn bag, what a goat holy shit.

Huge coincidence- I didn’t have anything on me that indicated I liked TGCF btw so I was thoroughly stunned. I couldn’t just take things without giving anything back so I gave him a Chinese luck charm

(Besides that he also told my friend to use vinegar for her acne, erm that’s a bit crazy ngl.)

Might’ve met god or something/j

Prologue, Part 1

[loubella77]

My favorite bar has $3 corn dogs and I will sometimes be at the bar for one of those and a girl starts venting to me and this is fr how it goes

[oouroboross]

How I manifested SP in less than 24h

Disclaimer: this is not a method, just my experience

The story actually starts 2 days before it begins, you see, I wasn't interested in looking for a partner, I was completely uninterested in romance and I saw it as a bother.

I went for a walk and decided to visit the new antique shop in my town.

The first thing I saw, as I walked in, was the cashier, a young man. I didn't even see him properly, but I felt the lightning strike in my heart, I pushed my feelings far away inside, as I didn't want to fall for anyone, I wasn't in a place for love and also it was unplanned, and I like to have my life calculated a bit more.

Even though I knew that he liked me too, we didn't really talk nor flirt, so I left the store and went back to my regular life forgetting about him.

Yet the situation broke something inside me, and I started thinking about getting into a relationship.

First I decided to break the old story.

I was always telling myself that there is no need to segregate my clothes in the drawer as I'm the only one seeing it, and that once I get into a relationship (that was supposed to be never) I'd finally segregate them.

Now as I decided that I want a partner I started affirming that I have a boyfriend, and I segregated my clothes because now I "had" a bf right😌💁🏻‍♀️?

Then I put on my favourite dress and went shopping. I pushed myself into the more crowded places and affirmed that I have a bf and he is the best blahblahblah

As I went back home I made a Tinder account (tbh it was purely to make friends bc I finished school and that finished most of my friendships)

And I found the guy from the antique shop, swiped right just for the fun of it and it was a match.

We spend the night talking on discord, we met in person the next day and since then we are seeing each other every day.

He is everything I've ever wished for, and I manifested him in less than 24h

I'm in a very loving relationship

Fun facts

We made our Tinder accounts the same day, and he was praying for a girl at the same time I was manifesting a bf

[permanentbottombunk]

One of my cats (Doofer) is particularly dumb. When she was little, she didn't know how to stop running. She problem solved by deciding that the best way to stop was running into walls. She was also very unbalanced from the get go, like never lost the unsteady kitten wobbles.

Obviously, this concerned us. So we take her to the vet, thinking she might have an inner ear or eye problem.

Vet gets back to us. This is the dumbest cat they had ever had in their office. No physical problems, just significantly dumb. Like regularly forgot how to breathe because she was purring at the nurse dumb.

And surprisingly, she isn't orange! She's a nice light brown (which looks desaturated in pictures for some reason)

[itscamile222]

stop a minute and think how absurd it is to think this is the only reality that exists— like, man, we’re literally thinking creatures who live in a floating rock in the middle of an infinite universe (which is expanding to more infiniteness)…

how the hell could life and existence be that simple?

#itscompletelyabsurd

and anti shifters still say WE are being delusional…

btw i’m definitely going to make a more in depth post talking about this

ASTRO: YOUR SUN AND NOTABLE EVENT THROUGHOUT YOUR LIFE

+analyzing the birth chart of Albert Einstein ‼️🗣️

+info and my master list

Your sun in the birth chart tells you what you did or What happened to you during that age or time. This may be linked to your success and life path :D. So for this rule, You have to look for degrees of your sun and what they are represents. AND I have to remind you that there are a lot of interpretation, but to keep you in a state it should be linked to what's general meaning, or -what's below the surface .

"Everyone has a purpose!"

You heard me right :D

I will give a memorable and very well-known individual for this session:

Yup! Albert Einstein at your service~

Albert Einstein at the age of 23 during 1990s —contributed to atomic theory, and he was the first man to prove that matter is made of atoms. And the rest is history of his ideas.

so his sun is in 23°, yes you heard me right. His sun is in Pisces in Zodiac sign.

and during the year of 1990 when he was 23 yr old at that time. He worked hard in laboratory, but he skipped lectures. However, he was credited with unexceptional record. ( That's how Pisces moves, aka "I didn't know anything at all, but you should see my crown.") They are like Virgos but in messy manner so people with Virgo asc and sun as well act like this.

So continue, After he published his works, continued making the year his time by studying and putting the God's creating and mind (how the mind works, how God connect us (universe) or so called the theory of relativity and E=mc², and so much more. He was also worked as a teacher and artist before by telling his story. So I guess? God really has a plan. In astrology the tenth house represents the social life or anything related to public by means.

XXX This analysis also dedicated to God's Glory XXX

[puffpastrycrimewatch]

Let me start by saying this did not happen it is NOT real, this was an example they used for sexual harassment in the work place!! (°ロ°)

Now, imma read you a little scary story where I'm weird asf

One day Mac's coworker Puff approaches him during his lunch break. They talk for a couple minutes, and Puff slowly closes the distance between them,backing Mac into a corner and leaning in for a kiss. Mac puts his hands out to stop her and quickly backs away. Mac looks uncomfortable: He has his hands out in front of him, and he appears to be looking for a way out.

Just then, puff noticed another coworker approaching. She quickly steps away and greets the other coworker as they pass. Before puff walks off, she grabs Mac's butt and says, "I'll get you next time."

That's crazy right, like what!? Diabolical!!!! That is WORD FOR WORD what was written 😭☠️

Real evil puff be like 😭

I hate how close up this gif is

[the-cimmerians]

a storytime story. Not my story, it's my friend's, but she doesn't go here so I'm sharing for her. We'll call her Mara. Mara is a high-femme, lovely queer girl from a wealthy family in the southern US, but when I met her she'd been living in California for many years, chugging through her postgraduate education in Women's Studies. She rarely went home, because being at home was always a bit of a fraught experience: not unendurable (because to most heteronormative casual viewers the radiant queerness of a high-femme is pretty much indistinguishable from a quirky beauty queen waiting for the right football quarterback to sweep her off her feet), but still--not the most fun. Yet every once in a while, Mara would have a fit of 'dutiful daughter'-itis, and go home to mend some fences and keep some peace.

Mara's mother had often asked her to come with her to philanthropic events, but Mara had always said no. On this trip, however, Mara's mother had purchased a full table as an event sponsor, and she cajoled Mara into going with her. For those of you who haven't ever attended such an event, they are all different, and yet terrifyingly all the same (and I say this not as an attendee, but as an event-runner for various nonprofits; an event-runner who, fair warning, hates everything about these events, and this part of nonprofit work). There is some form of lower-calorie food (chicken or fish on greens with a very light citrus-fruit dressing is de rigeur, along with some sort of fruit-based airy parfait served in the smallest and most elegant glasses imaginable for dessert), usually an emcee (occasionally entertaining, but always inoffensive to the assembled guests), sometimes speakers (high-profile or famous women on a local or national level depending on the 'get' of the organization in question, or extremely well-spoken young people or teens for youth-serving organizations--with the youth in question being very carefully coached), and an 'ask'--the fundraising portion of the event, where the wealthy attendees compete with the rest of their friends and enemies in the social scene to be the most gracious and beneficent person in the room.

And there is gossip. So much gossip.

Poor Mara knew enough to expect some of this (mostly due to listening to me complain bitterly about how awful these events are), but there were aspects for which she was completely unprepared. Her mother had filled her sponsorship table with all of her closest friends, and the 'social hour' before the event started in earnest was a haze of white wine and a constant stream of excessively perfumed women dressed in full southern socialite chic, coming by the table to air-kiss cheeks and say how it's been ages since they've seen each other and what a darling ensemble, where on earth did you get it? and who does your hair now?--you must tell me, it's simply scrumptious--you look incredible, we really must do lunch some time soon--

...and the moment the woman or women in question moved on, the table, as a whole, in excited, urgent-whispered voices, would drag the everloving fuck out of every single lady they'd just been gushing over.

"Did you see how botched her last lift was? I hardly recognized her--I'm surprised she recognized me, with her eyes yanked back like that--" "so terrible, but she did go to the cheapest surgeon in town--husband has money troubles, you know--"

"Didn't expect to see her here, but I suppose you have to go somewhere to show off that large a collection of paste jewels--" "oh, stop, you wicked girl! But you're right, of course--and she gives herself such airs, like we don't all know--"

"Poor dear looks exhausted--apparently keeping up with her pool boy isn't easy at her age--" "Can't say that I blame her; that Carlos, have you seen him? Of course, she's hardly his only client. I've been dying for a pool, but my Henry just won't--"

"Quite a plucky little attitude for someone whose husband just left her for his twenty-two year old secretary--" "And after she put him through college and law school--I heard she's not even going to get to keep the house. She really should have sprung for a better lawyer--"

"I can't believe she still thinks she can fit into that dress, with all the weight she's packed on--" "Truly grotesque--just ghastly! Seems like last summer at the fat farm didn't do her as much good as one would have hoped--"

::giggle:: ::giggle:: ::giggle::

Mara was horrified, sitting there with a bland, polite smile frozen on her face, with her white gloves and vintage pillbox hat and charming little clutch bag, her seamed stockings and her kitten heels and her classic red lipstick and pin-curls (because in true unquenchable femme spirit, she had taken this occasion as an opportunity for dress-up, an opportunity for fun and play and sexy whimsy--a Gene-Tierney-does-pin-up-girl kind of vibe), utterly unable to see how to extricate herself from this terrible situation.

Another woman glided away from the table, coyly waving heavily-beringed fingers. "Yes, Darling," Mara's mother said, coyly waving back. "See you soon! Kiss-kiss! Love to Laurent!" She sat down and hissed to the cabal at the table: "Ha! Her husband just gave her an STD."

The woman to Mara's left leaned forward excitedly. "Really? Two-door or four-door?--wait, if it was the latest Aston Martin, I'm going to literally perish of envy--"

And that was the tipping point--Mara fled. Walked until she found a suitably divey coffee shop. Had a coffee and a slice of peach pie, and flirted with a soft Butch waitress until the world seemed less dire.
