Introducing myself!! anyways sorry if this comes off as a little awkward I’m not used to tumblr just yet
Hiii!! I’m your professional yapping preacher (or just coco if you wanna be boring🙄 she/her) and I’m 19. I’ve been in the shifting community for about 4 years since discovering it through that infamous hp tt (but I’m not shifting to there since it just isn’t my cup of tea)
My shifting journey has been a little all over the place. Even though I’ve known about it for a while I’ve only recently started actually putting effort into it and tryna focus on myself. Sooo because of that I do plan on shifting before the year ends :) (let’s hope I’ve not set myself up lmao)
That’s all for now although if you would like I am looking for some shifting moots to hopefully just rant about shifting with!! I feel like outside of even actually shifting it’s such a crazy insane thing to talk about soooo moots are appreciated!
you're gone for so longhh, have u shifteddd to ur dr??
HELLOOOOO ANON💕 unfortunately i haven’t shifted yet… still here and very stressed out😭🙏
and i fear i haven’t posted in a hot minute coz i lowkey always forget i have this account😞 that and i’m going through a lethal arcane brainrot (yes… five months later)
unrelated but now wondering how much shiftblr has changed (if it has at all) and what lore i’ve missed out on coz icl i’ve been so out of the loop with shiftblr and shiftok…
also mind you i spotted this ask at like perfect time coz last night i was literally contemplating shifting but got distracted thinking about yuri knight x princess dynamics (yuri knight x princess dynamics… yuri jester x princess dynamics… unfortunately i hate royalty)
anywho cue my monthly sneak back into shiftblr like anybody gaf😭
like the shifter shay? i don’t know her personally but i know of her! i used to watch some of her stuff on youtube but i don’t think she’s posted in a whiiile at least i’m assuming she hasn’t since she didn’t last i checked her account (which was also a while ago) anywhooo why’d you ask
in which I share my opinion as if anybody gives a damn! gonna go ahead and start it off with;
the concept of shift-tokers.
✪ I feel like as soon as people started putting others on pedestals and demanding shit like story times, advice, and overall growing dependence on strangers.. that is exactly when the plot was practically flung out of existence.
✪ something that also makes me cringe is the subtle hierarchy between people who have shifted and those who haven’t. Someone that hasn’t shifted doesn’t know more than someone who hasn’t (unless they’re ignorant to the practice as a whole) I’ve seen someone with the same exact take, and I can’t find the post anymore, but they were so right. There are so many different reasons why I think this and I think that take in itself deserves a separate post. I’ll see if I want to make one.
✪ don’t get me wrong there are a few shifttokers I like to hear from. A few of them have great advice to give, sure they do, it’s more about independence and being immersed in another persons experience rather than getting your own. You see, shift-tok has a codependency problem which is more intense than we think because shifting is an extremely personal experience. this means that if you’re lowkey doubting the realness shifting you should prove it to yourself, do your research on it instead of living off of the story times of someone else or off of the input of someone else. Another thing, unfortunately, people can’t shift for you or find out what works for you it’s only someone you can do so *obviously* at some point one should stop expecting people who have shifted to hold your hands through your journey and comfort you when you “fail.” As much as most people hate to hear this but shifting is natural. And doing things like putting people or shifting itself on a pedestal only alienates the idea of it even more! I think that normalizing shifting for yourself is helpful enough to the point where you don’t feel the need to go to someone else for motivation or to get rid of the doubts.
debates
this is about race-changing and right around where I start to hesitate with my choice of words.
♛ I genuinely don’t care about what anyone does in their DRs I genuinely think there are bigger problems than this, like people literally m*rdering others in different realities and I think all of us know how shifting works enough to know that when you shift you aren’t changing anything about the previous reality you were previously aware of, you were always that race in that reality you shifted to. there are an infinite amount of realities where you are all kinds of different races. There are so many different versions of you it’s insane. it may not be morally acceptable to you but I just think it’s stupid to tweak out about it because it’s literally not our business. I’m starting to question people who even mention the fact that they do this in the first place because I don’t see why anyone should know?
morals, logic, and shifting don’t really mix
There is an immense amount of freewill with shifting which is why we have goons shifting to literally end lives so while we don’t find these things acceptable let’s just cease interacting with them? Like, there’s nothing we can do so just live your life.
scripting a relationship is “forcing” a relationship
♛ look bro… 😭 again, if we circle back to understanding how shifting works… there isn’t a single thing you’re changing. You are simply choosing to be aware of this one timeline where you happen to be in a relationship with this person. There is no forcing to be done. just because you are aware of an instance where this person is not dating you or is single doesn’t mean that scripting a relationship makes the relationship any less natural than you shifting and it playing out before you without ever thinking ‘i will shift to a reality in which me & this person are dating.’ Because it’s like we forgot that prior to you knowing of shifting, you had always existed in that reality. I would say nearly the same thing about manifesting an sp.
“can you promise that shifting is real?”
self explanatory. get ts off my feed.
I GOT MORE SAY I JUST FORGOT🥲 I’m running on three hours of sleep. Anyways, thanks for reading!
the “shifting hierarchy” is such a good point it’s actually such a problem esp with how codependent some people are like this community defo has a problem with boundaries
i’m collecting all the wuhluhwuh/sapphics/butimacheerleader/girlkissers/lesbians/lebanese/wlw/winnerslovewinning/lipsyncers/scissorsisters/gays (girl/nb version), dark orange-orange-white-pink-dark pink, D62800-FF9B56-FFFFFF-D462A6-A40062, pink-purple-blue, D60720-9B4F96-0038AB shifters ever
MEEEE THIS POST IS CALLING TO ME im queer in every reality and in my main dr (l&co) one of my s/os is lucy carlyle im in love w her she's my wife she's so strong but so sweet she could beat me up and i'd thank her
i mean i think you defo still qualify NUHBUHLUHWUH!!
and TOH SHIFTERS EXIST?? im gonna be so real that is very random😭 but not in a judgey way i just never would’ve expected boscha so i’m like very surprise
like you’re the first shifter i’ve met with her as their s/o so i feel like you deserve a prize or smth?
No no I totally get your reasons and I'm kinda sorta (?) in a similar situation. My DR doesn't have a fictional source, it really is just a world that I conjured up in my head and my script has like 5 points max, so obviously I'm not gonna script anyone specific. There's also the fact that I would like to mess around first, not get into a commited forever relationship right away. I see myself settling down at some point but not anytime soon. Don't apologize for the yapping. And I'm glad you got inspired. Never watched Arcane even though my friends tried to get me into it. I'm considering though... And I swear by my honor that it's not mostly because of Vi
YESS SAME!! like i wanna get to meet people exactly how i would here before settling down
like yea ik them thru a screen but i don’t know know them
also now i’m like hella curious about ur DR🤨 wdym you made it all yourself liiiiike do you perchance wanna share some lore🤭 or if its too personal dw!!
and also PLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLSSSS WATCH ARCANE☹️ UR FRIENDS ARE RIGHT it’s such a scrumptiously amazing show and watching it specially for vi is so real and so valid (i can’t wait to meet her!!)
i mean i think you defo still qualify NUHBUHLUHWUH!!
and TOH SHIFTERS EXIST?? im gonna be so real that is very random😭 but not in a judgey way i just never would’ve expected boscha so i’m like very surprise

I don't have a specific woman in mind I just scripted that I have no issues pulling women I'm attracted to 😭 Who's your DR S/O?
i fear im the most boring person to ask this… also warning… i yap SO much and get off track SO much
but oh em gee anon ily sm for this ur actually kinda a genius??
so i never script an s/o for like two reasons
1- it’s never been a priority tbh NOT TO SOUND LIKE I WANNA BE DIFFERENT but just like i have other stuff that makes me wanna go somewhere before i even consider an s/o
2- coz i’ve like never met that person (i mean DR me has but i haven’t) so idk what they’re actually like in person
i wanna get know them first and then decide if i fw them so tyy i’m defo stealing this xx
anywayyy even tho i don’t script any s/os i defo have people in mind!! but i’m just gonna stick to one from my current main DR
coz like i always have like two main DRs
one of them is really just a waiting room (tbh i don’t like calling it that… it’s just a chill beach place i wanna go when there’s nowhere specific i have in mind but i still want to shift or not be here) and the second one is usually whatever DR i’m most interested in at the time which is currently my runeterra/arcane one
like dude i wanna explore runeterra SO BADLY have you seen that map? the magic?? the people?? the lore/history?? and i just know the food bangs like PLS i need to see it and experience it all RIGHT TF NOW☹️
mb got side tracked and forgot the OG question😭 anyways even tho i would defo wanna meet hg before committing to anything i fear s2 brought my the jinx obsession i forgot i had (or au powder tbh)
15 yr old me 🤝 current me (bringing back 2021)
this is insane i talk so much wtf like this could’ve been answered in one sentence
