Hey! I’m Hana. Nice to meet you :)
Let me introduce myself a bit as I'm new around here...
I discovered shifting just over two years ago now, when I was at the lowest point I’ve ever been in my life and I downloaded TikTok on a whim. Shifting saved my life.
I’m in my late 30s, which seems to be significantly older than most shifttokers, haha. It’s a bit more difficult to tell on here but I’d imagine it’s much the same. Makes me feel ollldd.
I’m AuDHD.
I haven’t used Tumblr for AGES. Probably about a decade. I’ll learn how to make my posts pretty again but for now they’ll be pretty basic.
My DRs:
Naruto! Pretty much my only dr. I didn’t even know who my s/o was when I started my script, I just knew that the Naruto series had carried me through life from my late teens and I was in love with the world and the characters.
Once I started scripting I realised who my s/o was and things started to click into place. It always felt like I was remembering rather than creating, which was an amazing feeling. I haven’t seriously edited my script for about a year, and the little tweaks I do make every now and then is when I remember some other detail. I’m locked in to this dr like a homing missile. There’s no stopping me. It has everything I’m missing in this reality and there’s no way I’m going to pass up a chance to experience everything I’ve ever wanted.
I do have a vague desire to shift to Star Trek (specifically DS9) at some point. But Naruto first.
My Naruto DR:
Don’t ask me why (because I really couldn’t tell you), but this dr doesn’t ‘start’ for me until I get yanked into it from another dimension by Kakashi’s mangekyou sharingan when he starts training it again at the end of og Naruto. I basically fall out of the sky, hit a few branches on the way down, and then wake up in Konoha’s hospital. This is the point I initially intend to shift to - I first wake up in my dr in hospital, lol. So my dr self is from a different reality than my dr, if that makes sense? I guess you could call my dr portal fantasy or isekai.
I am pretty much the same version of me that I am in this reality. I’ve just scripted in a healthier body (goodbye, comorbidities!) and some light cosmetic tweaks. I come from a reality that doesn’t use chakra (the same as here - it's basically an au of my cr), but I learn how to once I’m in my dr. My life in the reality I come from was slightly different than mine here so I've a different skillset. And I’ve also aged myself down. A case of having to at this point because I’m quite a bit older than my s/o now, and I’d like to have more of my lifespan back to enjoy it there :)
It’s a 3d reality. Everything and everyone is ‘real’ (I know ‘real’ is subjective but for want of a better way to explain). It’s not 2d animated. People are flesh and blood. You know what I mean xD
I plan to permashift. I might come back here once, if I feel like it. But once my Naruto life is over I’ll be shifting to a wr to reflect and get ready for the next existence.
There’s a fair amount of little details I’ve scripted in that reflect the kind of life and relationships that I crave. QoL upgrades, haha.
I’ve scripted out Boruto timeline/plot. I really don’t like it. The mass memory change thing stresses me out LOL. Plus I hate the Boruto version of Konoha. I fell in love with og/shippuden Konoha. I don’t want high rises and trains and video game consoles. But that links in with some of the QoL upgrades mentioned above. For me, as a burnt out neurodivergent living in a late-stage capitalist society on a planet that’s being destroyed, I don’t want to experience anything close to that in my dr.
So that’s the basic intro to my dr. I’ll be sharing more details in future posts, but my asks are always open in case anyone's curious about something <3
