13 for the shift thing?

My least favorite part of shifting is finding a methods that work for me. It takes a lot of trying things out and experimenting  and then when I do get one that works theres no guarantee that I’ll be able to get the same results. So that can be a bit frustrating. 

[lostintheabyss404]

I’m back!

Hey sorry I was gone for a couple of weeks, my mental health hasn’t been the greatest so I took a bit of a break from the internet and shifting. I’m not exactly in the best mental health space just yet so I’m not going to attempt shifting till I am. I think it’s important to take care of yourself and taking breaks, regardless of what your doing is healthy and important. 

I will be easing back into blogging and will also be working on my script for when I do want to shift. I also want to shift to a costume dr instead of SPN. So I will be working on that. 

Thank you to all of you for being such a good and fun community, I believe in all of you. As much as I want to help, I am also learning and without seeing your personal experiences, tips, advice and knowledge I would not be where I am.

Scripting: In-Depth Pt 2

Methods P1 

 There are many differing ways you can write out your script and it is mostly up to personal taste. I will try to go over all the differing ways to script in the next couple of parts in this series. 

Note: Names are just for your convenience and not the actual names of the scripting types as most of them don’t have official names. 

BASIC/ FILL-INS: 

This is a way where you write out your script in very short blurbs. It’s one of the more popular ways to script and is also one of the most simple ways. 

Example:

Name: X

Age: X

Description or photo: XXX

Special abilities: XXXX

General information: XXX

Best friend: X

Parent 1: X 

Parent 2:  X 

Pet: X

Usually, there are other varying fill-in spaces like ‘super powers’ or ‘wand’ depending on where you want to shift to. I think this way of scripting is popular because there are a lot of them for some of the more popular DRs. 

This is a good way to script if you already have a very good idea of what your DR looks like and where your going. 

Though, I do not recommend using this version of scripting for custom DRs as they tend to rely on having a lot of implied information that you know but don’t write down. I also don’t recommend using this as the sole form of scripting  for any DR because it is super simplified.  That being said its a very good place to start if you are new to shifting and the idea of starting a script feels overwhelming. 

FREE FORM/PARAGRAPH 

This is where you write everything out yourself and tends to be more detailed then the previous form. 

This way tends to be written like: your personal traits and appearance and then things you want applied to yourself, followed by your surroundings, then lastly people and their relationship to you. 

Example: 

I am (XXX), I am (x) years old and have (x) hair and look like (x). I am a very (x) person and everyone who sees me thinks I am (x). I am very good at (x) and (x) and am one of the best people at (x).  I can (x) and I have the ability to (x) 

I have (x) friends. I get (x) grades in school and have (x) as a pet. I live in a (x) in (x). I go to school at (x) and my grades are (x). 

My parents are (x). I have a (x) relationship with them. 

My best friend is (x) and my friend group is (x). I am in a relationship with (x). My friends and I (x) and I am (x). 

Etc. 

This is one of my favorite methods because it allows you to script the details that are the most important to you and can be very personal. On the down side its much easier to get caught up in little details and forget things when you script this way. I recommend you be very self aware while writing this out and read through regularly to try and avoid any mistakes. 

[lostintheabyss404]

Scripting: In-Depth Pt 1

The Basics 

I’ve seen scripting described many different ways but I personally like to think of it like a map. You’re writing out that map so you can reach your DR. without scripting you may end up somewhere you didn’t plan on going. 

There are many methods to scripting and they are all equally valid. Somethings work for some people and not so much for others. It’s important to keep this in mind so you don’t make the mistake of stick to a method just because it works for someone else.  

That being said, when writing your script there are some general guild lines you should stick to. 

- Use present tense not future tense

- Always talk in the first person

- Always use positive connotations and language 

Example: 

 Do: I am very smart and my best friend is (insert character). I am immune to injury and pain. 

Don’t: I will be very smart and my best friend will be (insert character). I wont be      Injured and I wont be able to feel pain. 

As the series goes on I will cover shifting more in depth but I thought I should start with the basics  because I personally feel its the most important thing. Though you can get away with some negative language, you should do your best to avoid it. 

Next part coming out later today.

Small update

Took a small break from posting but I’m back now. I will be starting up Scripting: In-depth this week. I’ll have the first one out ether tomorrow or the next day and the series will be coming out more rapidly then the last one. Mainly due to me breaking them up by section instead of multiple sections at a time. TBH I just think it was starting to get too long and they would sit in my drafts forever.

Daily Shifting tip #4

Interact with other shifters and you will be much more likely to shift. Create a blog or join a discord server and talk with those around you. Hearing the experiences of others and sharing your own will not only help the community but it will help yourself. Others ask questions you did think to ask and have their own unique experiences and in order to learn and not repeat their mistakes, you have to talk to them and interact. The more you take in, the more knowledge you consume, the faster you will be able to shift.

The Basics of Shifting Part 4

Clones/Alternate Selves 

Clones are the consciousness left behind when you shift while awake. They are you and they wouldn’t do anything you would not do. Some people don’t like the term ‘clone’ because its a bit of a misnomer and prefer the term Alternative Self which is much more accurate. Whichever word you use know that it’s basically you if you did not shift and when you get back you will have your clone’s memories and your memories from your DR. 

Though they wouldn’t do anything you wouldn’t you can script them to do certain tasks or be in a good mood, talk with your friends or clean your room. Reasonable things that you can see your self doing. This is not necessary as your clone will do what you had plans to do and make plans that you would make.

[lostintheabyss404]

Daily Shifting Tip #3

Failure is apart of the process, don’t be scarred of it. Very few people can get anything-let alone-shifting to a different reality in one try. So if and when you fail, pick yourself up, write down what went wrong and do your best to correct the mistake for next time. You will get there and you will succeed. 

[past-cryptidshifting]

Hi!! Do you know if I can script how long my clone takes over? can I write that I’ll wake up next week?

Hello! Yes, there is a format for that! It’s __ minutes/hours in my CR is ___ minutes/hours/days/weeks/months/years/etc. in my DR.  For example, if you only want to be gone for 12 hours cause you used a sleeping method and you got a project you want to do in the morning, you could use 12 hours in my CR is 3 months in my DR. This number can change, but it should be something you can keep track of!  As for one week, that’s totally good! You can use the method above, but do the math and go for 42 months instead of 3. Of course, if you don’t want to stay that long you can do something like 1 day in my CR is 1 month in my DR and stay for 7 months.  The numbers can be changed depending on how long you want to stay! I would recommend having a simple one that is kept constant and just changing how long you’re staying.  Hope that helps!

The Basics of Shifting Part 3

Lifa App

The lifa app is an app that you can have on your phone in your DR. It can also be a journal if your DR self doesn’t have a phone. In it you can basically edit your script, manage your clones and change your appearance. Some also add a button that they click to leave their DR and much more. 

The lifa app works just like any other app but its completely customizable by scripting. You can script it to look like anything you want and what it can do is completely up to you. But there are some things you may want to add to start off. 

Clone Tracker/Status: This is a good idea to add if you shift while awake. This part of the app can tell you what your clone is doing, you can edit the tasks you want them to complete and in any other way control them.

 CR Tracker/Status: This is a good idea to add if you are shifting at night or during the day. You can check the time in your current reality, edit the CR to DR time difference and you can activate your clone. If you have multiple DR’s you can also add a tracker for them. 

Closet: This can also be referred to as an appearance editor. You can change anything from your clothes to your height and hair color. Its potential is pretty limitless, as most things are with shifting. 

Wallet: This you can basically add any amount of money to your DR selfs wallet or bank account as you want. You can also give people in your DR money by using this feature.

Script: This can be used to add things to your script, review your script or remove things from your script. You can also add a Manifest feature to add more immediate or small things to your DR. But you don’t have to. 

Leave button: This is unneeded but some prefer to have it. It allows you to leave your DR simply by hitting it. 

I was noticing these things were getting too long so I’m going to start breaking them up by section. The section on clones will be out later today. 

Then I’ll start on a new series! Next up is Scripting: In-depth.

Daily shifting tip #2

Scripting can be many things and writing out what you want to happen as if it has already happened is a good way to script. This can be in the form of a fan fiction or diary entry or journal log. It can also simply be a couple built points of things you really want to do with the people in your DR. 

[past-cryptidshifting]

Kind of want to see the reality shifting community… Reblog with what you go by, your pronouns, where you’re shifting to, and why I’ll start: I go by Cryptid, I use he/they (and moth/mothself), I’m shifting to Ace Attorney (and a custom DR) to be cool I guess and to be someone else :D

[lostintheabyss404]

I’m Mike, I use he/him, I want to shift to a bunch of places but rn I want to shift to supernatural because it’s my comfort show and i just want to chill.

Nightly Reminder #3

You have this! You are prepared, and tonight is going to be the night! Believing you can do it is important so believe you can do it! I believe in you! Your desired reality is waiting! Good luck! 

[fuckingrealityshifting]

If I wanted to have a slowburn type romance with a character in my dr, would I have to script that specifically or can I be more vague? Also, how much detail do I need to go into in my script in genera?l I'm not sure if my habit of overexplaining things is gonna help or hurt me in this case.

Hi! Here’s some general tips on scripting.

And I’m gonna use your ask as an excuse for a big informational post.

Scripting romances

Tiktok will say it’s bad to script you’re already in a relationship because of... consent? Well, Tiktok is literally wrong and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of shifting and the multiverse.

You’re not creating a new reality in which your script would create a situation where you are in a romance without their consent. You’re just specifying via your script you want to go to a reality where you’re already in a relationship.

There are no issues with consent??? They’ve already consented to a relationship with you. You’re just shifting to a reality where that has already happened.

Some suggestions for scripting to shift to a preexisting relationship:

NAME and I are a happy couple.

NAME and I share a strong, healthy relationship.

NAME and I understand each other completely.

NAME and I have been happily dating for BLANK.

NAME and I love to spend time together.

NAME and I communicate well.

NAME appreciates me so much.

NAME wouldn’t dream of breaking up with me.

NAME is the perfect S/O and I am the perfect S/O.

If you feel like it would be out of character for them to be absolutely perfect (Draco Malfoy perhaps) you can leave behavior affirmations out and just focus on their love for you.

Some people like the experience of developing a romance with a DR person, and that’s fine! You don’t have to shift to an already existing romance. You can script you have or will develop feelings for each other using whatever affirmations you want. Here are some suggestions:

NAME finds me attractive.

NAME has eyes for no one but me.

NAME finds me irrestable.

NAME and I develop feelings for each other.

NAME and I have a strong bond that developes into a friendship into something more.

NAME’s interest in me grows with every second.

You can also script for specific romantic events to happen.

Some examples/possibly suggestions if they apply ig:

NAME and I watch a movie at their house, and they first recognize their feelings when they see me smiling at the film.

NAME asks me out after we fall asleep on FaceTime.

NAME and I kiss as a dare but the next time we are alone, continue without thinking about it.

For a slow burn romance, though your intent and imagination of what your DR life will be like will likely cover it, I think scripting it is a good specification. You could script specific events like before as your relationship grow and know/script the events have long periods between each other, or you could use more specific affirmations for a slow burn in general, some suggestions being:

NAME and I gradually develop feelings for each other.

NAME and I keep our romantic interest hidden.

NAME pines for me over time.

I pine for NAME over time.

Our romantic relationship develops slowly.

As we develop feelings for each other we long for each other.

NAME decides to hide their love for as long as possible.

BLANK keeps us from confessing.

Every time we drop a hint about our deeper emotions, the other writes it off.

NAME believes they’re reading too far into any possibly romantic interaction.

NAME and I have an impossibly strong bond.

NAME and I don’t address the growing tension between us.

All these affirmations can be applied to poly relationships, too, just add in the other names and people. There are realities out there where you are all poly together!! Go ahead and shift there if you want :)

REMINDER

These are real people. Unless they deserve it, I guess, please don’t cheat on them. Please don’t break their hearts for fun. Please don’t murder anybody else who has feelings for them. You need their consent for sexual activities. Don’t take advantage of emotional distress to get sex. Please treat them as you would a partner in your CR.

Daily Shifting tip #1

If the reality you are going to is based on media, go through it and take notes. Take notes on the current mental state of the characters, The current conflict and any minor details you want to see in your DR.  This will help you shift to the right reality instead of accidentally going somewhere else.

Some of my script

I want to shift to SPN and help save the world so that all the characters can finally have their happy ending. This is how I imagine me arriving at the bunker would go. 

I arrive to the bunker the same way I got to my living room last time...by falling from the sky. Luckily I scripted that I don’t feel pain so the less than graceful fall doesn’t hurt at all. 

Dean, Sam and Jack are sitting at the table which I just nearly missed. Dean stands up suddenly and grabs deaths scythe. Sam and jack both also stand up. Sam pulls out a gun. 

“Who the hell are you?!” Dean yells aiming the scythe at me. 

“Friends call me Mike,” I say as I sit up on the floor. This is the moment I’ve been waiting for but I try to keep my head and not freak out on them. 

“Like the angel?” Jack, the only one who’s not armed, asks. 

“More like the reality shifting, all powerful, failing math sixteen year old.” I say jokingly trying to lighten the mood. 

“What?” Dean says, still aiming the scythe at me. 

“It’s complicated, but the important thing is I’m here to help! I can get rid of god and bring back all your friends!” I try to explain. Standing up I can tell the bunker looks exactly how it does on TV. I can feel my heart beating in my chest. 

“You Can kill god?” Dean scoffs. 

“I mean, probably? But I have a better plan that I think will-” 

“I am done with this bullshit!” Dean yells as he attempts to take my head off with the scythe. It simply bounces off me the way it would if he were bouncing a ball off my neck. He keeps trying anyways. 

“Look-Just listen! I swear I’m only here to help!” 

“No! I am done with these celestial beings! I am done” He responds as he continues to try and attach me. 

“Dean, stop!” Sam yells after a moment but dean is in a blind rage. Then I snap my fingers and Cas appears standing behind Dean. He is still crying because for him it has only been a moment since he was taken by the empty. 

“Dean,” Cas says, tears still falling down his face. Dean drops the scythe. 

“Cas?”
