𝓽hings 𝓲 wish i knew before 𝓲 𝓼hifted (as a girl who shifts on command)
as a girl who’s shifted so many times she learned how to do it on command, i can say with confidence that there’s many things i wish i was told beforehand that neither shifttok or shiftblr talk about (warning, it’s a lot).
CUTE DISCLAIMER : these are things I wish I was told . If you do not agree, THATS FINE . this is just what i wish i was exposed too before my first shift that i think will help others like me . When i use “you” “you’re” pronouns, im talking to my pre-shift self in second person. i just feel like this can support others .
001. i would never look at life the same again .
imagine how it feels bringing your subconscious to another place for the first time and realizing you are infinite . everything everyone said was true . it was never just an ongoing tiktok joke, it was real . shit was hard to come to terms with . very hard .
of course, shifting for the first time was awesome, but coming back was… interesting . i looked at everything differently . i feel like shifters talk about what shifting for the first time was like and forget to include the “coming back confusion”
002. after getting used to it, the “spark” kinda goes away .
now i know what the rest of shiftblr is gonna say . “shifting is real!!! don’t romanticize it!!!!” and i completely agree, for this reason . before i shifted for the first time, ngl, i did lowk think in the back of my mind it was gonna be sunshine and rainbows . obviously, i was wrong .
it’s just like any other life on any other day on any other planet . unless you’re shifting to mars or some shit .
It’ll get boring . it’ll get sad . It’ll get irritating . and trust, shit will get real . but that’s just how life is . after i realized thats how life is, i kinda got like . huh .
it’s kinda like how it felt when you realized Santa wasn’t real . if that makes sense .
003. the real world is harsh .
as a girl who was never an actress, singer, dancer, model, guitarist, and songwriter in this reality, imagine my surprise when i saw that people would hate my acting/singing there ??? i scripted i was literally awesome ???? my discography is heavenly????? what ???? they aren’t even nice about it either .
be nice to celebrities!!!!!
004. you’re gonna start wanting to shift to a lot more “niche” drs after that .
soooo, you know how you’re shifting to be a student in hogwarts rn? well, you’re still gonna do that, but you might wanna be a lawyer in another dr now too . or maybe an alien from Saturn . or maybe a scientist who knows the secrets of the universe . or something .
after realizing you can explore every single reality out there, you start to want to experience new things in a more uncommon way . a way that other people probably won’t also be shifting there .
i mean . . . unless you have niche drs already . then like, fuck it, we ball .
005. you will have so many different relationships and dynamics and vibes with people you won’t know what to do .
after shifting, literally everything will remind you of either your cr, or your dr . you’ll remember an inside joke from your dr friend from a few years ago, and then in the same day cry about something your cr friend said while you’re in your dr .
it’s slightly almost kinda sorta maybe a little overwhelming at first, but you begin to get the hang of it as your dr is already something you’ve always known .
it’s fun, too . sometimes I’ll be out and see cute keychains and I’ll be like,”oh, (dr best friend) would’ve loved that.” you get a little homesick no matter where you are, but it’s almost comfortable, it that makes sense . because you know you’re gonna see them again, you already are .
This will be my first, and last if it gets no attention, post on here and I’m not sure what to post about since everyone here has really good grammar and mines is just… Bleh. So, I am going to yap about something interesting to me.
Dinosaurs.
Alright here we go, so I’m gonna talk about every one in jwr! That are common, at least. Anyway first we gotta the T. rex!! It’s a theropod and is very popular for its huge body and large jaw, also known as the king of dinosaurs. It lived in the Cretaceous period, hunted on triceratops and stuff yk, it is part of the theropod family, which are two legged large reptiles. The T. rex is part of the tyrannosauruid genus and has many other similar cousins. Which I don’t know about… but you can look it up, really good but overrated dinosaur.
Second is the Spinosaurs. Usually noticed by the huge sail on its back and its long snout, it is a big dinosaur, bigger than the T. rex. Maybe even stronger. But actually didn’t live anywhere near each other. (T. rex in mid western America, Spino in Northern Africa.) It was thought to be a dinosaur that eats fish and could swim under water. We know the Spinosaurs does this because of its very awesome cousin the baryonyx ( my friend’s Netflix name is is bradyonyx lol sorry kms that’s so corny ) it’s a smaller and has no sail type of spinosaurid, but this is a really cool dinosaur, and not many bones have been found for it.
Next is the Quetzacoatlus ( not a dinosaur but a pterosaur) biggest ever flying animal found. It has a humongous wing span and a massive mouth. It’s found in central Mexico. I love this thing and it’s so fun to say.
Next we have the Velociraptor, though thought to be big due to the Jurrasic world movies, it was quite small, and had could’ve been a good pet if alive, they hinted in packs and probably went for prey a little bigger then them. though small I’m sure they were deadly.
Finally we have the Titanosaurs ( my favourite and shown in the gif below) it had a really long tail and could whip it realll hard ( which would probably hurt or kill a human ) they were very big sauropods and most of them lived in midwestern America, it’s cool to see them in the movie!!
