Hi, I go by Lux on shifting accounts. I made another Tumblr account just for shiftblr so I could follow/like from this blog & not from my main. From TX, USA š¤ āļø Iām a man in this reality; in some DRs Iām not. DR Typology
Feel free to DM or send asks (good faith only). Same user on shifttwt/shifttok (almost never go on there)/shiftsta (predominantly active on there). On my shiftsta I have lots of posts abt my DRs that go way more in-depth than my carrd or stuff on here does. Trying to post more on here.

Why are SOME female readers SOOOOO offended by the idea of male readers/writers? š Isn't the majority of the "x reader" stories centered around the female audience? Why are YOU complaining about a creator not wanting to write fics for female readers, despite there being others fics out there? What point are YOU trying to make to shame a gay person for writing gay love when there isn't many? HOW IS IT AFFECTING YOUR DAILY ROUTINE AND FANFICTION IN GENERAL?!?!?!
Telling creators a character is not queer and being continuously bitchy over it won't stop them from making fics of that character. There is no such thing as being "underrepresented" and "oppressed" by just ONE fic š¤¦
Stop complaining about homosexuality. Start minding your hetero business. āļø
i feel like we all need a reminder sometimes that we can script WHATEVER we want, and it will happen, because we're going to a reality where that's just,,,,the norm. so here are some things i've scripted to make myself THE main character of my reality that you can too. this includes my fame dr and HSR dr!
ā”ļø.įąŖāā“ i am akivili's reincarnation. you can just script this to be any desceased powerful entity in your dr, like for example you're the reincarnation of the guy that killed sukuna in your JJK reality!
ā”ļø.įąŖāā“ i have 3 degrees and am a genius economist WHILST ALSO being a four-time oscar winning actress. my schedule's going to be insane but i'm an educated baddie.
ā”ļø.įąŖāā“ i can literally beat any opponent in a battle. ANY. nanook? ez dub. fuli? sure. mfn terminus? i'll end them before they end the universe.
ā”ļø.įąŖāā“ i am every famous celebrity's crush. idris elba, michael b jordan, cate blanchett. you name it? they crush on me.
ā”ļø.įąŖāā“ i ride a motorcyle as my weapon. no, not in the mauvika way of "oh it burns fire or whatever." nah i just literally crash into mfs to beat them.
ā”ļø.įąŖāā“ everyone knows who i am. any random pleb in a small isolated himalayan village has watched all of movies. there is no escaping my fame. and yet, simultaneously, no one bothers me when i go out. idk how it works but it works.
ā”ļø.įąŖāā“ i have so much charm that all it takes is just a nice compliment and people will do whatever i ask. if i need to get into a restricted part of herta's space station? all i do is just call madame herta beautiful and suddenly they just let me in automatically.
ā”ļø.įąŖāā“ i'm just the most talented person in the room. everyone knows it and can feel it. i have more talent in my pinky finger than most people have in their whole bodies.
overall, is all of this egotistical as fuck? yeah. have i still scripted it anyway? yeah!! i wanna go to another reality to have FUN, not to grind! and maybe you need that reminder too :)
filling out slash revamping tlou dr backstory/characterization bc finally kinda got some ideas šš hate when stuff doesnāt j come to be miraculously & i have to work at coming up w sht & being creative
maybe the problem is that youāre over-romanticising your dr to the point where it becomes this perfect, distant place sitting on a pedestal. but your dr isnāt supposed to feel unreachable.
your dr is real, and real life includes messy moments, awkward moments, and completely unglamorous ones.
youāre going to have ups and downs there too. youāre going to stub your toe, get stomach aches, stand up too fast and feel dizzy, say āyou tooā when the waiter tells you to enjoy your food, and then think about it for the next three hours.
thatās what makes it real. not the aesthetic version you keep building in your head.
maybe the issue is that youāve been focusing too much on making your scripts pretty, turning your dr into something aesthetic and curated through pinterest moodboards, edits, and posts. and maybe that feels comforting because it gives you a sense of closeness to something you havenāt fully experienced yet.
but thereās a difference between visualising and postponing.
because sometimes, all that āpreparationā becomes a loop. you keep designing, refining, scrolling, imagining, updating, and calling it progress, when in reality, it might just be a very comfortable form of delay.
instead of shifting, you end up living in the āpre-shiftā.
so ask yourself this honestly: are you creatingā¦ or are you avoiding?
are you afraid that if you actually try, you might not succeed?
because failure isnāt even real here. not in the way you think. there is no fixed outcome you can fall short of. there is no authority judging whether you did it ārightā or āwrongā.
failure only exists when you define it as a stopping point. but nothing actually stops you here. nothing can revoke your awareness or your ability to experience.
you donāt āfailā and get sent back to zero. you simply experience something, interpret it, and continue.
you are not being graded, you are not being tested, and you are certainly not competing for permission to exist in another state of reality.
you are the awareness behind the entire experience. you are the one it all comes from. and if thatās true, then nothing you do can take you further away from it.
and maybe the more you keep polishing the idea of your dr, the more you delay actually stepping into it.
so maybe itās time to try something different.
and remember, you have the power of choice. that gives you the ultimate control.
so choose to stop decorating it, stop preparing, stop waiting for the perfect version of it, stop delaying.
let it be messy. let it be ordinary. let it be real.
im a detective in a world where all kinds of fairytales, myths and magic coexist (sort of like alice in wonderland but less messy/confusing??). there are different creatures (humen, humen with powers, mythical creatures, half human-half mythical creatures). im a human with a power (i can control dreamsāsend dreams, enter others dreams, see others dreams).
i became a local celebrity after solving the case of a missing princess and the royal family let me move into their castle. im now best friends with the princess whos really smart and we talk about mysteries together and she helps me solve them and i cover for her when she wants to sneak out to see her secret knight boyfriend (him and my (soon to be) s/o are best friends). i had a romance with a pirate until i found out a dark secret he was hiding that helped me solve the case of a secret island and its treasure. he is now in the royal prison
ive worked with a witch to break curses. ive decoded letters to solve mysteries about the history of the kingdom. ive saved a sleeping princess in another kingdom. ive investigated all sorts of magical mysteries and gone on countless treasure hunts
ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā š youāre trying to feel your dr with your cr senses
ā a lengthy shifting guide
why is it so hard to shift from your cr to your dr but not so much vice versa? youāve spent the first large chunk of your life believing this reality to be the full extent and foundation of existence. even if you now logically understand this not to be the case, the years spent curating and deepening a mental, emotional, and physical anchor to this reality has warped your perception of reality and instilled in to you the subconscious idea that your cr is the default. and in treating it as the default, the end all be all, and in compromising with it, you reinforce the idea that you are attached or stuck hereāthat it is even a place to get stuck in in the first place. not only do you trap yourself in this reality and grant it power over you that it does not actually have, you start viewing your cr as the āstarting pointā too, and shifting as some form of transportation from point A to point B. accompanying this belief is an imagined distance created between your current reality and desired reality. you mightāve already recognised this in yourself; the feeling that your dr is somehow faraway, a place that needs to be travelled to.
itās important to make and internalise the distinction between a shift in realities as an act of metaphysical travel, and a shift in realities as a shift in focus. imo the former is a much better descriptor for what shifting actually is in essence. i will go into more depth later, but a byproduct of being raised the way you were, growing up knowing nothing but your cr and rooting & centring yourself wholly (confined) within it, is the over identification you end up developing with your cr self. you are not living reality, you are watching it. but after years of the constant unbroken immersion, the two become almost impossible to distinguish. you define yourself by and take on as if they were your own the thoughts and identity and feelings of the āvesselā you are observing, and let them dictate how you experience reality. the lines begin to blur between you; your cr self, and you; your awareness/the observer.
feel your hand. donāt touch it, but notice itās weight and temperature, or the air around it. now feel the feeler. can you feel yourself? or your body, maybe? now go a step further and feel the one feeling. you probably arenāt fully able to, but this is the observer. āthe observerā, or the state of being after breaking the immersion, is you in your natural or purest state. it has also been described as pure awareness, the void state, ego death, sakshi, the self, anatta, and interpreted in different ways across a multitude of different religions and branches of spirituality & philosophy, all used as a means to an end for different things. fyiāiām not saying you have to completely forsake your cr identity or start ignoring/dismissing your senses or thoughts to shift, just understand that those things donāt define you or your reality. the means to the end here is just getting a point across and hopefully helping improve with the approach you take to shifting. all of this to say, youāre not travelling from point A to point B. point A and B are not places you can (technically) even travel to or exist in, because youāre just watching/observing/being aware of. shifting is not the transportation of a self from one location to another. shifting is simply changing what is focused on/experienced; from one stream of experience to another. a shift in focus.
to summarise, you as in your ego, the you in this cr as you know it, your body, your brain, your thoughts, your identity, donāt actually go or shift anywhere. you, your awareness, in favour of perceiving you, your cr self, the one sat at your computer or phone or whatever reading this right now, starts perceiving a different you/ego/selfāone that could have the exact same personality, memories, and thoughts, just in another realty, or one that is a different person entirely. there is only a change or āshiftā for the observer, not the cr self or ego. so stop trying to feel your dr with your cr senses. youāre not going to. youāre so immersed in your cr and cr self that you automatically rely on this realityās bodiesā senses to gauge your success when you try to shift, waiting for your cr self to get a cue that itās never going to get. the surroundings your cr self feels arenāt going to go anywhere. nor are your senses going to shut off. your cr body will continue to receive sensory information, because thatās what bodies do. so donāt lie there expecting your bedsheets to disappear or magically warp into your dr surroundings or something and feel like youāve failed when they donāt. shifting is not about somehow willing your surroundings to change or lying in your room forcefully convincing yourself that your senses are feeling something else, itās about acknowledging whatās beyond those senses. feeling and connecting to what your dr self feels.
if you can still feel your cr, itās not you feeling it, itās your cr self. and you are not your cr self.
you can apply this to your thoughts too. your thoughts are no less your cr selfās than your senses are. if you start getting doubts mid attempt or canāt let go of the thought or feeling that youāre not in your dr, remind yourself that you are not your feelings or thoughts or doubts. you are simply observing them. of course your cr self will think that theyāre still in their cr, they are. just ignore them and shift your attention elsewhere. your focus and awareness are what dictate what you experience, if you relinquish your focus from your cr and direct it to your dr instead, thatās where youāll ābeā.
obviously thereās no one set way to shift, so if you want you can stop reading here and apply this information to your shifting journey in whatever way suits you. if youāre interested in my method though, hereās the compilation of all this info into practical steps you can actually take to shift.
get comfortable somewhere you wonāt be disturbed. close your eyes and focus on what you can see. the light behind your eyelids, shapes, colours, whatever. but instead of automatically interpreting these sensations as belonging to your cr, allow them to become sensory input from your dr. light? thatās coming from the lamp by the xyz in your dr bedroom. or maybe your in a field if thatās a fitting setting for your dr, and itās the sun shining down on you. shapes? thatās because youāve been lying down with your eyes closed for a while now, youāre tired after your classes or job or whatever you do in your dr. even if itās nothing at all, let it be your drs nothing. just feel it. do this for about a minute.
then move onto your body. whether itās sinking, lightness, tingling, focus on it. and do the exact same as you did for the previous step, interpret it as input coming from your dr. donāt worry if you can still feel your body lying in your bed, because your surroundings arenāt going to changeāat least not physically. again, those sensations belong to your cr self, and they donāt prevent awareness from directing itself elsewhere. the goal here is to shift your focus away from them and onto something else, so hyperfocusing on your cr and worrying about your surroundings is counterintuitive. just gently guide your attention back to your dr, really try feel your dr surroundings and what your dr body is currently feeling. if you canāt fully avert your focus away from your cr, thatās fine, at the very least just try receive/tap into the input coming from your dr alongside your cr.
finally focus on what you can hear. if youāve already managed to make a connection with your dr through your sight and physical senses just build up on what youāve already got. feel grass tickling your skin? deepen the connection there by focusing on the sound now too, the wind blowing through it. see light behind your eyes? focus on the hum of the lights.
repeat these exercises over and over, deepening the connection with each cycle. if you donāt manage to get anything the first cycle just keep going until you do. it might take some practice. like i mentioned before, after spending so much time here and being in constant attunement with your cr self, the sense that your cr is the default starts to take root and it can be difficult to shake the feeling that youāre just indefinitely āhereā. itās normal for it to take some time to learn how to question this feeling and push past it. since you've never (technically?) been aware of anything outside of this reality, learning how to do so can be a bit like learning how to use a muscle you've never used before.
this method operates on the idea that reality is something that is tuned into through focus & narrowed awareness and not something metaphysically travelled across, so for the most success with it, iād recommend starting to make a conscious effort to see your dr less like a place and more like a wavelength or channel, a perspective already existing beyond your current focus. shifting to your dr then becomes an effort to notice and receive input from this channel/wavelength, input that already exists out there and that simply needs to be acknowledged. youāre just picking up on whatās already there, feeling something that a version of you already feels.
persist in the belief that reality is observed and flexible. youāre not "stuck" anywhere unless you believe you are.
You DO NOT have to lift a finger to get anything in the 3D reality. Even if you're manifesting a job, you don't have to go for any job interviews and it will just come to you. So stop stressing about the how and go to the end.
What do I mean by retroactive shifting? Its you thinking about the past and realising that you actually shifted then.
An example of this is waking up in the morning and saying, "Woah, I was definitely in my DR last night." Because it doesn't actually matter if you felt that you were there or not. You can't prove to yourself or anyone else that you shifted but you also can't prove that you didn't. There's no way to know where your awareness went while you were asleep. So why not assume it went to the reality you've been thinking about all day? Thats the most logical place it would be in, wouldn't it?
People shift even without feeling a single thing. Why should you be any different? Besides, feelings and sensations don't tell you where you are, you do. You know where you sleep, so know that you were sleeping in your DR.
This mindset preps you for actually believing and expecting that you can wake up in your DR without even trying to because yes, you were asleep there the whole night so its only natural to wake up there, duh.
Right before fully shifting, I had primed my brain so that whenever I felt even a little bit different when I woke up, it 100% meant that I had shifted in my sleep/slept in my DR. Over time, my brain went along with it and I began to expect to wake up somewhere different or to have shifted in my sleep which led to me waking up in my WR.
The same goes for having vivid dreams or feeling symptoms during attempts.
Realising that you felt shifting symptoms because you shifted. Not because you were trying but because you were actually there.
Past attempts where you felt something? That was a shift. You never had that kind of experience before finding out about shifting. Why are you disregarding it just because its not a full shift?
I know symptoms are just your body falling asleep but sometimes I get weird ones that never happen when I am not trying to shift so instead of treating them as a sign that I am currently shifting, I think of it as me already having shifted. Because I won't feel that way if I hadn't.
Having a vivid dream about your DR? "Its because I was sleeping in my DR without even knowing it. So I dreamed about it while I was there."
When the goal is to experience (even if its the tiniest things) then everything becomes a win.
being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.
still have such an inferiority complex ingrained in me that i j donāt naturally even think to do this or feel comfortable doing so but so glad other ppl who do want to script this kinda stuff do it š«¶ /gen
Infinite realities means infinite realities. Things that are normal here would be considered extremely abnormal in other realities. The laws of the world in this reality such as gravity may not even exist in other realities.
Infinite realities means that there are infinite possibilities and everything can exist. In some realities you have a brain in some realities your brain works differently. In other realities you donāt have a brain.
We grew up here in this reality with our perspective being of someone who is born here, which is why it may be hard for a lot of shifters here to wrap their heads around things that may seem abnormal to us, because of how we grew up here.
But you can script anything. Thereās no such thing as being unrealistic in the multiverse, you can script that you have wings that can retract in your body in your DR.
You can script that thereās no atmosphere but people can still somehow breathe and that would make sense. You could script that everyone was only happy and you could live only a happy life but still be just as fulfilled without the bad things.
No you donāt need suffering to appreciate the good. No itās not the norm. No you wonāt carry trauma into other realities if you donāt wish. You wonāt get trauma if you donāt wish. You can script what you want. Realism doesnāt exist in the multiverse. āRealismā is a concept that operates from this reality and was created FOR this reality.
Therefore it cannot be applied to every single reality in the multiverse. This reality is just one reality of infinite. Just one reality out of the infinite realities in the multiverse. It doesnāt determine anything.
Script what you want no matter how unrealistic it would be called here. Script you have a hundred powers. Script you are a twenty feet tall elf with wings. Script that you are a cosmic entity that can juggle planets if you wish.
You have infinity and eternity ahead of you so donāt spend it limiting yourself.
Happy shifting
