ā¹ recent events fawn's summer expedition
ā¹ recent menus summer get-away && the great british bake off
want to make sure you never miss a new treat? or maybe just the fantastical sweets?
Small Question. For your activity, if we make an agenda post How would we do if? I am confused on the base of the event and kind of donāt understand how to do if. Do I send blogs questions or answer them myself? š
the main idea of the the great shiftblr bake off is to help those who are scared / lost when it comes to interacting with others on here! i wanted to give back a bit with the order something sweet section where you can ask me to make a certain type of post. the post a recipe section is simply ideas for posting when you find yourself in a slump! && the send a dessert box section contains some questions to get you started when talking to other shifting blogs. it is definitely different than the other shifting events i have created so i completely understand your confusion!
honestly i am not too sure how you would make an agenda. i didn't really design it to be an event with a genuine structure or anything. i was planning to add shiftblr's posts to the event post when they use the tag ( #the-great-shiftblr-bake-off.pptx ). so i guess i technically already made an agenda post for everyone? perhaps if you only wanted to make an agenda for the post ideas section of the event you could just add those && not mention the other sections. i am not certain, i'm so sorry š
you can answer the questions yourself if you would like! i ' designed ' them to be sent to other blogs && be a helpful hand when interacting with someone new. but of course if they are giving you inspiration then you can use them how you like <3
NEW THEME IS SO CUTEEEE layla u remind me of holly berenson from life as we know it bc she owns a cute little bakery UGHHH the theme is so good i heartttt
thank uu!! i have yet to watch life as we know it but iāll def have to watch it soon <3
when i first came to shiftblr, from shifttok, there was often conversation on which community was better. shiftblr likes to see itself as superior, claiming we are more ' open ' && ' welcoming '. yet time and time again this community has pit itself against each other while simultaneously putting others on pedestals to create ' shifting idols '. i don't care for the constant drama and bullying. this is a place made by us shifters && for us shifters. i made this ' event ' to try to get us talking and sharing with each other again!
a special thank you to my inspirations for this event : @/withluvvenusā luvletters from within, @/lyrisolās flower garden, and @/elysian-fawnās summer expedition. && an extra special thank you to all the friends i have made through shiftblr ( && shifttok ). i would not be the person i am today without each and every one of you!!

sticky note āøāø since this ' event ' does not have dates or a structure like a normal shifting event, it shouldn't interfere with @/elysian-fawnās summer expedition š
if you ever go looking around gotham city you might end up on forty-fourth st, right outside the brown butter bakery. the cookies are bigger than your palm. the muffins are overflowing with mix-ins. the buns are light && airy. it is quite a nice hide-away from the real world . . . just don't be frightened by the giant man over by the cake && cupcake displays; he's a stray the owner picked up a few years ago.

ā¹ recent menus summer get-away && coming soon!
want to make sure you never miss a new treat? or maybe just the fantastical sweets?
okokok so now itās my turn to ask the #1 baker in my books: whatās jaylaās top sweet treats ?
okayyyyyyyy so jason peter todd will eat literally anything i put in front of him. once i had burned a grilled cheese and he snatched it before i could, saying it had more ' flavor '. i was going to eat it ā so he didn't have to ā but he ate it anyway š. all that to say the boy would swallow rocks if i put it on a plate.
buuuut his favorites tend to be the chocolatey desserts. doesn't matter if it's milk chocolate or dark chocolate ( although, don't let it be white chocolate ), when he gets his hands on the treat it's gone. here is his top four :
ā¹ banana chocolate chip muffins, chocolate && peanut butter brownies, s'mores w/ the marshmallow practically burnt, and strawberry shortcake!
now it's a little ironic but i don't really like sweet treats. i am a much more savory type of person. a good ramen or a nice sandwich or a delectable pasta will have me floating. yet here is my top four :
ā¹ chocolate && peanut butter brownies, carrot cake w/ cream cheese icing, red velvet cake, and cinnamon pull-apart bread!
hi layla, you have one of my favorite blogs on here, and itās in my nature to be deeply nosy, so i have a long list of questions to ask (itās literally only 3ish, BUT itās a lot to answer in one post so itās basically 20)
1. what are some houses that you added to your asoiaf drs?
2. are there some content creators here that remind you of the content you make in some of your realities?
3. are there any realities youāve thought about making but never got around to? + are there any that you love but donāt post about often?
okay okay firstly, i loveeeeeeee your pinterest so much. it's very captivating && pretty! secondly, i adore answering questions so thank you so much for asking <3
question one! ā¹ added houses in my asoiaf realities
ā¹ house wrath is the big one. it's mine and has been with me for almost four years at this point. although it has been altered almost drastically since its conception back in the day. if anyone would be interested i would be down to make a full history post on the wrath lineage.
ā¹ house winchester is my friend's ( @emitem1 ) ! i love to add her to these realities because we first met on tiktok when i was posting about asoiaf && we once had a group reality together. i always make her my witchy / spooky best friend!
ā¹ house drakaris was created for my age of valyria reality to just be another valyrian dragon rider family for me to be the daughter of. had to script it so we were never related to house targaryen because my s/o is one.
ā¹ house ashwood was inspired by love of baking in this reality and the name of the capital's mistwood village. i just wanted to ensure i had somewhere to go when i wanted something sweet in my house of the dragon reality.
question two! ā¹ youtube creator recommendations
ā¹ vlogging style vanillamace, naomi jon, andrew lowe, chris klemens, logan && julian
ā¹ video essay style drew gooden, oompaville ( politics ) && zane parker ( film )
ā¹ streaming style vanillamace ( again ), tony statovici, && joe bartolozzi
question three! ā¹ realities hidden or lost to time
ā¹ most of the realities i don't make time for / end up forgetting about are my modern ones. usually i get very focused one or two at a time && forget about every other reality to ever exist. you could see me posting about one reality then come back a few days later and i'm posting about a completely different one.
ā¹ i'm not sure if i have a reality that i don't post about. i guess you could say my home reality because i don't post every single thing that happens there on here. that reality is a almost direct parallel to this one and i don't want to share my entire personal life on the internet ( ironic ik ).
bonus! ā¹ blog recommendations
ā¹ those with asoiaf realities @emitem1, @doe-eyed-shifter, @miiholic, @leeiivxy, && @jtsblock
ā¹ those with other fantasy-based realities @chthonic--cowboy, @deepinthegroves, @withluvvenus, && @dracuthea
ā¹ those with very enchanting posts @l22na4, && @elysian-fawn
sticky note i hope this post isn't the reason i find out my fav creators are problematic š„ but pls tell me if they are!!
upon first arrival to the commander's capital many feel drawn to its dark gothic architecture && towers that seem to reach for the gods above. it is cold in the capital year round with rain more sparse than snowfall. these harsh conditions have caused evolution within its inhabitants: they have dark hair to attract the warmth of the sun; they are tall, broad, and full to sustain harsh weathers; they carry a multitude of skin tones, facial features, and bloodlines to ensure a diverse lineage && the survival of the next generations.
there are many rumors surrounding those choosing to live in the capital. southernmen claim they are barbaric && unintelligent. that those born in the capital would rather chew on their brother's arm than go fish for themselves. northernmen know these claims have no ground or true footing. the people in the capital are weary and standoffish, yes, but that began hundreds of years ago when the riverlands tried to invade their home. they merely follow in their commander's footsteps && do not trust a man is who he says he is.
castle wrath ā¹ the founders of the capital have lived in castle wrath for almost a millennium. the structure itself took eight centuries to finish; built by wrath blood and those they protect.
ā¹ the hall of commanders is the longest winding room the castle. it contains a statue && a description of each and every commander leading back to the first, laela the wrathful. the walls and ceiling are covered with murals painted by many artists throughout time.
ā¹ the great seat has remained at the end of the hall of commanders since its creation seven centuries ago. house wrath commissioned many artists to put together the seat of dragon glass and valyrian steel. while it serves as the commander's chair, it is also a reminder of house wrath's birth in the valryian freehold.
ā¹ hallowed haeven is a large botanical garden commissioned by one of the first commanders for her sister, jaelena the dreamer. the greenery rarely dwindles in color, regardless of the weather surrounding the capital.
ā¹ dungeon of depths contains only the darkest of criminals, those who cannot be rehabilitated. the stone system is buried deep beneath castle wrath. the bars keeping the beasts encaged are made of valyrian steel. no man has been known to escape such hold.
folka's forte ā¹ house winchester's ancient seat at the commander's small court. their ancestor folka && laela the wrathful celebrated their win against a massive sea snake. the fort began construction at the same time as castle wrath but finished five hundred years before.
mistwood village ā¹ the village where the ā smallfolk ā live.
ā¹ moonshade stables house && care for the great squadron of warhorses in the commander's name. the horses' bloodline has not been kept pure, to insure their survival throughout the ages, yet they remain bigger and stronger than any other stallions in westeros.
ā¹ academy && library are the two institutions funded by the capital to ensure its people are educated on the realm. other lords and ladies of noble houses find this baffling; very few lowborns ever receive such knowledge in other regions of the realm.
ā¹ the clocktower is one of the only building illuminated in the dead of night. it was built to be a beacon; a light to bring home our dead when we cannot bring them home ourselves. offerings lay at the foot of the tower to aid those in the afterlife.
ā¹ mistwood market is the giant farmer's market in the center of the village. you can find anything && everything there. the nearby ports controlled by the commander allows for diverse ingredients and delightful treats. one of the most well-known stalls is sword in the scone bakeshop owned by house ashwood. many commanders have been known for their sweet appetites.
thalia wrath has been named prideful and often too headstrong. she is a complex woman, as most mothers are. her pride and joy is her youngest and only son, theo wrath. he even carries her namesake. despite the women being seen as the more important sex in house wrath, theo is the only one to be cradled by thalia long after it was necessary.
her eldest daughter, layla wrath, would emerge from the womb as retribution for every fault thalia's every had. the two had been polar opposite since layla began to talk; every word was in opposition to thalia. it is no surprise the young girl chose to ward for thalia's older sister, enya i wrath.
enya the bearclaw was childless && the great commander of the north; she is everything layla wanted to be.
hi layla, just a quick question; are you a targaryen in your asoiaf realities? i saw several pics of targaryens in your pinterest board and i was wondering
helloo, anon! so it honestly depends on the specific reality. i'll explain each of my current realities but the tldr is that when i am shifting to be with a targaryen romantically, i always make sure to script that i have absolutely no blood relation to them at all. && i rarely go to the same period of history in my asoiaf realities so there's no cross-over of me being romantically involved with a certain person in one reality while being familial with them in another ( EEYUCKK ). just another reminder that incest shifters have no place on my blog!!
age of valyria reality ā¹ i am a dragon rider in old valyria from house drakaris ( a house i created for this reality ) && have no relation to house targaryen. this is because my s/o, jason, is a targaryen.
a knight of the seven kingdoms reality ā¹ i have two concepts for this reality and i have yet to decide which plot i will follow. i need help deciding.
plot one i could not be a targaryen in this reality if my s/o, jason, is a targaryen prince. he would be the son of baelor breakspear && twin brother to valarr targaryen. he also would be the heir to the throne proceeding his father. i am not fully sure where i will be from yet, but i suppose it will be from the north.
plot two or i would be the targaryen, therefore the daughter of baelor breakspear and his heir. and jason would be a hedge knight like dunk. although i would then have to script out valarr.
fire and blood reality ā¹ i am strictly northern blood in this reality && jason is valyrian blood. he is rhaenyra's first born son and her heir. i am sent with him as he travels around westeros to gain allies to his mother's cause. a special note is that vysera targeryen does not exist in this reality!
house of the dragon reality ā¹ in this reality my family has been northern blood for thousands of years before the doom of valyria and there is very little valyrian blood left in us ( just enough for me to tame the cannibal dragon on dragonstone though, dw. had to have my y/n moment ). vysera targaryen is the younger sister to rhaenyra targaryen && daughter to viserys i targaryen and aemma arryn. vysera is my s/o ( along with jason who is a northern bastard / orphan && has no relation to either of us )!
game of thrones reality ā¹ this reality is interesting because it is the only one that ties into another reality of mine, my house of the dragon reality. simply put it takes place hundreds of years after princess vysera && me. but now its me being the last commander of the north and daenerys becoming the queen of the seven kingdoms. it's ruling on a sort of forgotten history / prophecy plot. but in this reality jason never existed in the past and therefore we never had children, so yet again my s/o && i are not related.
kings in the north reality ā¹ this is one of those situations where i am of strictly northern blood && jason is only valyrian. i am queen of the north way before the conquest. jason rides his dragon to winterfell and is surprised to see other people exist outside of the valyrian freehold.
maegors reign reality ā¹ maegor of course is king and full targaryen. jason is a orphan of king's landing who becomes a knight and then maeogr's sworn sword. i am the daughter of a lowly knight && have no relation to either boys.
sticky note i guess i don't have any reality where i am a targaryen yet. i didn't even realize until i went through all of them š dw i will come up with one soon probably.
