I love how shifters on this app dedicates their blog to help others shift :( like ik we're talking abt how some people use shifting for clout, but on the other side of the coin? It's genuinely kind shifters, who have shifted, dedicating their time to answer asks and make multiple posts to share their advices. They genuinely wants their mooties and followers to succeed and I think that's sweet. Especially when they make posts like "I shifted while doubting myself!! You can do it too! Doubts won't stop you!!!" ugh I LOVE LOVE.

Idk about y'all but my side of shiftblr is really nice and I'm not planning to leave anytime soon.

[alluringniss]

it’s really beautiful to see shifters with s/o. because like they can choose ANYONE they want. whether it’d be a celebrity, a book character, a movie character, or someone they made up in their head. they chose to be with their exact s/o. how lucky

i’d choose my s/o to be my s/o over and over again. i’m so twisted in love with him

I’m not sure who sent this ask but you’ve heavily embarrassed yourself with this comparison and I will happily humble you rn.

“certain shiftblr users will swear up & down that race "changing" (shouldn't even be called that bc you're not changing anything, you're just scripting but that's a whole other conversation) is evil & you're disrespecting certain cultures by doing it but have no problem with ppl scripting in impossibly tiny waists w/ big ass & tits and hair down to their thighs in every dr. So y'all don't care about honoring the fat/unconventionally attractive girlies then??”

first of all, HUMAN BODIES change all the time. we go through puberty, our hair grows, we cut it and it grows again. our nails grow, we bite them or they break and they grow again. we get older, our bodies naturally get bigger and smaller all the time. whether it’s a specific attribute or just in general, these things CHANGE. race does not. what you’re not gonna do is use something that’s fluid as a comparison. it’s giving very much “I love pancakes. so you hate waffles?”

also you’re basically saying a fat/ unconventionally attractive person can’t have a big ass, big tits or thin waist which is highly incorrect. you can absolutely be bigger and have all that or the opposite, either way many body types are tea. trying to factor out those attributes as if only skinny people have them is ridiculous and this is why I don’t take you race changers or supporters seriously bc you never have any idea what the fuck you’re talking about. plus there are many people who script in bigger body types, you don’t get to cherry pick to try and make a stupid point babes. - sincerely signed a fat girl who was created by a love and beauty goddess

“What about ppl who script they're a different sexuality?? Or is it only a problem to explore different identities when it comes to race? You see how those arguments don't make any sense!!! It's never consistent or valid arguments”

for the millionth. fucking. time. GENDER AND SEXUALITY ARE FLUID!!!!! it is something you can figure out that you are over time and it is something that can C H A N G E . your identity when it comes to race isn’t something that is fluid. you don’t get to pick and choose or decide that you’ve been it all along. it’s not something you discover over time or realize about yourself. you either are or you aren’t. simple as that. so stop with the fucking dumb ass gender and sexuality comparisons BC THEY DON’T WORK AND IT’S NOT THE SAME. YOUR argument doesn’t make sense. think a little harder next time please.

race changing is wrong for a multitude of reasons. with how many times it’s been explained up on this app or shifttok, ESPECIALLY by people of color???? it should be obvious why. races and cultures are not costumes. not everything belongs to you. especially you culture vultures. you can literally do ANYTHING YOU WANT without HAVING to change race so why the desperation? why the need? y’all have such limited minds thinking race is a requirement for learning, understanding or being apart of something when that’s just not true. y’all continue to box yourselves into race far more than you think and it’s sad. I’m genuinely hoping y’all wake tf up instead of continuously making these dumb ass arguments over things that can CHANGE and are FLUID. like you’re only embarrassing yourselves ffs like damn.

anyways I rest my case - sincerely signed a poc with common sense.

I love shifters that are deeply in love with their s/o. Like yes, I wanna hear your story with them, I wanna know how you two met and how many drs you have with them. Yes you two are the best couple ever and the love of each others lives, please keep loving and keep being loved 🫶🏻

[masoncantthinkofaname]

I'm not someone to get into political matters, don't expect me to do this again in the future.

But I must say, I am deeply disappointed in humanity and everything that is going on in the world right now.

One of the most important traits of humans is the community they have, the care for each other, the support. Everyone is so extremely divided right now. People are dying because of it, suffering, going through a living hell.

It's not 'life' anymore at this point, it's controlling those who have no power themselves. It's the powerful exploiting the weak.

I'm disgusted by what this place has come to, the things living beings are being put through.

The fact that it is 2025, and skin colour, gender, sexuality, even beliefs still matter. People still don't see each other as equals. It's so disappointing. Whether one human has more or less rights than another should never be a question. We're all living, breathing, we all have a right to be here.

Sadly that is not the world we're living in. No one is safe, especially children, women, anyone who isn't born with the privileges that a straight, white man has.

Let us as a shifting community not go through the same thing. We need to be exactly that, a community, a group who supports and helps each other grow. The moment we start being divided in opinions, beliefs, rules, we will go down the same road that many countries went down recently.

No matter who you are, where you are from. You are valid, you are seen, you deserve to be here just as much as anyone else.

We might not be able to do much about some of the bigger world issues. But we can keep our community together, we can keep this a place of love, and make sure it doesn't turn into a toxic space that dictates others decisions.

Be mindful of the choices you make, be mindful of the things you say, of the way you talk to others. It might be the internet, but words hold so much power. Change starts within ourselves. And regardless of the outcome, you can be proud of the person you've been in this life.

No one blames you for wanting to leave.

Happy shifting everyone 💚

How i felt after realizing that the state of the shifting community (specially in shiftok and now shiftblr) is due the practise being fandomized and the state of fandom post pandemic and how nobody tries to uphold basic fandom etiquette

Everything fits together—the erosion of thoughtful, nuanced discussion; the overwhelming rise of rigid, black-and-white thinking that leaves no room for complexity; the entitlement fueling relentless harassment toward those who selflessly share their expertise and insights in their free time; and the broader breakdown of respect and basic fandom etiquette that once kept communities healthy and welcoming.

Like even the rise of puritan beliefs is imo at the source of the debate about Age changing and how people cant seem to understand that no , an individual that ages themselves down and has romantic/sexual interactions in their DR doesn't make them R.Kelly 2.0 and that there is some valid reasons behind that shifters's decision. But y'all are too busy shaming that person into de activating their account to try and understand...

Look for yourself and you will realize that. The shifting community emerged in 2020 at the same time Fandom got disfigured by the influx of normies that had nothing else to do while being stuck at home.

It all checks out; it is all connected.

i figured that @shiftblristoxic @v3nusarchives @shifteruncensored @realitycanbewhateveridesire would be interested by this "realisation" of mine ?

Or maybe im dumb and people realized it before idk.

i physically can't have two different people as my s/o's i dont know how people do it 😭

Sleep Method for Shifting

｡𖦹°‧⭑.ᐟ I talked with my therapist about how it's really hard for me to fall asleep even if I'm "counting sheeps", so she gave me this technique to relax and remember things better. The way she explained it to me really reminded me of shifting so I thought it could be a really good for people like who can't really focus on letting go and doing a method at the same time.

The Method ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 .ᐟ

⋆.˚ ★— Lay in a comfortable position that helps you fall asleep, recite the alphabet and with each letter think about a detail, event or memory from that day that starts with that letter.

As you go through the alphabet you focus on those memories which allows you to relax and at the same time helps your mind process and consolidate what happened during the day in a calm and conscious way.

e.g.

A . Apple, I ate an apple with my mom in our backyard with the sun shining bright

B . Blue, bought a blue shirt to use at my cousin's birthday party.

It can be as simple or as elaborate as you want.

The way it works is pretty simple, you focus on finding something that happened with that letter and your brain just forgets that you're trying to fall asleep/shift but since it's constantly thinking about those memories it accepts it as real (bc they are) so sooner or later you'll wake up in your dr

If you have any questions let me know !

[blvdnites]

dont give up shifting— not because of your s/o, or wealth, or popularity— but because of the air, the smell of your world. the first signs of life; the trees, the birds, the bugs. the reality of it all.

[heartavenue]

I'm going to preface this by saying this is not me trying to start ANY type of debate, if you read what I'm about to say and feel some type of way about it. Take that amongst yourself!

Now I'm watching a TV show and I am just feeling such an immense feeling of black pride. I love being black, and I want to be black in every reality. I love my people, I love our culture, I love everything about being black. To be black is to be descended from greatness. To be black is to be resilient, to persevere, to be proud. To be black is to be the blueprint: jazz, hiphop, rap, blues, r&b, soul, funk, disco. I mean from our food to the way we talk we did this shit. I mean we got the whole internet speaking like US, dressing like US, listening to OUR MUSIC.

Our hair grows towards the sun, and our skin protects us. Like I choose to be black in each lifetime! And that's black American culture, think about the afro-latinos, afro caribbeans, and of course the motherland in which we all got it from. Like being black is truly a beautiful thing, I am black and I proud for ETERNITY!!!!!

ㅤㅤㅤㅤ .𖥔 ݁ ˖╭ ┆Soulaan╰⊹ ࣪

⤷ Soulaan/Soulaani or "Soula" translates directly to "the people of soul." Soulaans/Soulannis are black people who are descendants of enslaved Africans.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤAll About Soulaan Culture:

⋮ ⌗ 1┆Food

Many foods that Soulaans enjoy derive from West Africa. The Soulaan cuisine consist of legumes, rice, beans, leafy greens, and various meats. Some examples included: red beans & rice, fried green tomatoes, gumbo, cornbread jambalaya, collard greens, yams, catfish, fried chicken, black eyed peas, macaroni and cheese, cabbage, candied yams, dirty rice, smothered pork chops/chicken and rice, oxtails, chicken and waffles, okra and tomato stew, fried okra, peach cobbler, red velvet, pound cake, banana pudding,etc.

In the pictures from left to right ( gumbo, yams, macaroni and cheese, green beans, baked chicken, and cornbread, smothered cabbage, red beans and rice, and banana pudding)

⋮ ⌗ 2┆Hair

Hair is very important to Soulaans, our hair is like no other. It grows towards the sun! Of course we take it very seriously! Some Soulaan hairstyles include: goddess braids, box braids, Fulani braids, butterfly locs, soft locs, micro braids, sew-ins, lace fronts, leave outs, knotless, braids, afro, passion twists, goddess locs, cornrows, afro puffs, silk presses, waves, line ups, fades, etc.

⋮ ⌗ 6┆Religions: Voodoo & Hoodoo

Now these are more so closed cultural practices so I won't be expounding. I didn't put Christianity because in my humble opinion I don't believe that the religion that was used to colonize my people should be practiced! Now in your Dr you can do whatever you want, but here we practice our cultural customs!

⋮ ⌗ 7┆Cultural/Traditional Wear:

Streetwear, Y2K, Hoochie, Majorette, Afro Americana, Soul/Neo-Soul, Gullah Geeche Attire, Creole Attire,

This one was kind of hurt because Soulaans have so many different styles throughout the years and I don't have the time to go through all of them so in the pictures from left to right is (streetwear, Hoochie mama, and Gullah Geechee)

I made this vague on purpose because this was made strictly for the niggas, now if you want me to explain something I will happily. If you want to add something that I missed please let me know and I will!

Also this PROVES that black people have culture which I ALREADY KNEW.

P.S I know I said I was going to make this months ago but hey! Better later than never!

𝓉he fading pulse of the shifting community

you’re scrolling. it might be late. maybe not. either way here you are again. your thumb's moves across the screen carelessly.

swipe, swipe, swipe

through a feed that once was like a secret hangout w/ whispered codes but now feels more like a vacant echo chamber where almost every person only shouts almost the same things. your screen's light casts a pale light across your face but it doesn't warm you.

there's a spilt moment in between the pause and the next swipe when you feel it. that old bitter feeling of acknowledgment and disappointment. you might remember what this community was used to be like. or maybe what you were hoping it would become. but now you contemplate on what happened to lead to the once vibrant shifting community now feeling……..…..dull?

longing runs through the air. nostalgia. while the scent of longing for the community this place once was. reminding you “this used to feel comforting didn’t it?” and then the ache of reality shines down on you.

the feeling didn’t fade in an instant. no burst of drama or no occurrence. it was more like a slow….unexplained leak.

air evaporating bit by bit until you notice your breathing is more shallow. the changes were so tiny if you wanted you could ignore them.

but the sharp edges and the i-don't-know-if-i-understand-this-but-here-it-is energy… the bits and pieces were smoothed so much that you could slide your palm over it without any splinters.

& yk what? it feels personal doesn’t it? bcs this was not just a hashtag you came across while scrolling through your feed filled with the latest news about celebrities or whatever your into.

this community was a home. a space on the internet where souls would gather to discuss the crazy topic that is shifting.

this community was flawed yes. & so fucking chaotic yet utterly alive. there was passion.

remember when the shifting community was a little feral? a bit all over the place?

when 1/2 the posts were just 3am rambles. the awkward pauses in random videos where a person was trying to find the perfect words to verbalize what they had experienced.

people weren’t trying profit off an experience. people were here, in this storm of a community, desperate to find proof they weren’t confined. that they could shift. that they were bigger than the “rules” society pushed onto them.

it felt like a flashlight handed from hand at hand in a dark cave.

flickering & choppy but still showing a path in the dark. a way out.

now?

now that flashlight of vulnerability feels almost……gone. in it’s place is something like a stadium spotlight. so blinding you can’t make out anything besides the glare. posts made perfectly. clickbait. the same concepts recycled til your ears want to burst. even the “messy” stuff looks rehearsed.

it’s fucking exhausting (justifiably so).

because shifting

the actual concept of shifting

is in no way perfectly polished……it’s weird as fuck. it’s ridiculous. it’s a jumble of thoughts from several people. it’s doubt and obsession braided collectively. the community used to treat that uncertainty like a heartbeat.

now it’s almost like it’s background noise..

this is why there is an influx of shifters posting posts expressing dissatisfaction/frustration with the community.

then creators snap with angry shielding comments like all critique is a personal attack.

it’s just not the shifting community though. it’s what’s happening to almost every community right now. the same tired ideas recycled. the stress to conform so thick you could choke on it.

and you want to know what i think the irony is? it’s not sameness that holds a community together. it’s difference. it’s the messy lovely chaos of diversity. clashing thoughts. friction.

authenticity.

but something else is lacking.

it’s not just diversity. it’s the permission. the permission to be different without being treated like you’re ruining everything.

echo chambers aren’t harmless. when every single person is told to think the same, some doubts might disappear but so does growth.

conformity isn’t comfort. it’s a literal trap. when you try to force a community into conformity, ideas stop evolving. disagreements end up as arguments. interest shrivels. it becomes a place where diversity dies and without diversity???????

communities suffocate. fade.

i want to tell you about a moment that sticks with me.

there was a shifting content creator ( let’s call her l )

she was one of those people who made shifting content that felt like listening to a friend yap secrets at you.

i vaguely recall her posting a video. it was unfiltered. her sitting on her bedroom ground. voice shaky. she talked about how trying to shift was messing w/ her grip on time & how the strains between her dr and cr had taken a toll on her. no answers. no neat conclusions. only a want to say it out loud.

that video? it was gone in less than 24 hours.

replaced with a “lighter” video about how cool the multiverse is. the vulnerability cautiously tucked away like a secret too risky to share. that one got the views. the likes. the applause.

and in that moment i saw the “rules” spelled out in neon:

be digestible. be pleasing. be safe. or don’t be seen at all.

it’s a paradox. shifting itself is borderline absurd to the average person. it’s a mystery. and this community is a place where anything and everything is possible. but that doesn’t sell well.

so as a substitute we get the cleaner version. the constant “look how well i’m doing.” the tidy. the tips. the curated routines. the “as someone who’s shifted _ times”……..performance.

what stings is which you don't truly forget what it felt like when the community was full of fresh ideas and old ones existing together. you remember the electricity of seeing a person’s doubt laid naked. the courage it took to be vulnerable.

now scrolling through a majority of some of these posts is almost like staring at a wax figure of something that used to be alive.

this isn’t a eulogy. it’s a pause. a place to set things aside of a minute and actually try to understand them.

because what made shifting feel so alive is also what made it fragile. a community can’t be perfect forever. it has to be allowed to breathe and crack and maybe even fall apart a little before it rebuilds itself again.

and this (all of this) is just my thoughts on it. my perspective. a bit from someone inside the room. not the truth with a capital T. not a few manifesto carved into stone. just a perspective in the sea of many.

there’s no reset button. no perfectly absolute path to when this place felt electric and unfiltered. but maybe the way forward is in remembering that the best parts of this community weren’t just the the polished ones.

maybe the magic is still here just buried underneath the pretending. maybe it’s just waiting for a person to dig it open with their bare hands.

[shift-to-go]

"race changing" is such a stupid term. that version of you was always that race. literally nothing would be changed about you.

[missysverse]

people who say that race changing is not a big deal are just white people with no culture because y'all truly don't understand the significance of race. it's okay for POC to feel uncomfortable with the idea of race changing, white people need to stop making us feel guilty for thinking it's weird.

like idc what you people do in your dr (because it's not my business and im probably just going to block you) but please stop forcing your beliefs on everyone. not everyone wants to be comfortable with race changing. you're not superior because you think you don't have morals anymore. the shifting community is not a monolith, we're allowed to have our own beliefs. why should we shame people who think it's bad to race change?

And if my opinion makes you upset, fucking block me idc.

this is the last time i'm probably going to talk about race changing because why is it still an argument.

[misspoppyfield]

Idk if there are other shifters interested in making their own map for their Dr but the website Azgaar is pretty good

You can create your own map , cities , ect and it’s pretty easy to use AND also free without the need to sign up (we all cheer)

Hope this helped someone 😋😋

[thecosmicbarbie]

⋆P⋆ ⋆S⋆ ⋆A⋆ ⋆:⋆

if you’re an anti race changer, just know that you’re amazing, beautiful, educated, you look good, smell good, your body is tea, you have common sense, your ancestors love you, are SO damn proud of you and you deserve everything that the multiverse has to offer <3

go show off who you are and who you come from babes, your soul is tied to the ones who came before you and they gave you beautiful skin, a beautiful culture and a beautiful story to tell to those all around just from your eyes alone :) they live through YOU and are with you every step of the way

much love to you all ♡

2025 shiftblr is so boring!!!

I miss those storytimes from 3am of people who just came back from a shift and were crying while typing.

I miss people being excited about their dr and writing the most embarassing scenarios for everyone to see.

Now all i see is

“You already have your desires”

or long ass fancy paragraphs telling me i’m a god.

“Stop overconsuming information! you already know-“ THEN PLEASE TALK ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE 😭😭😭 (edit: i’m not hating on anyone who makes these posts ofc, I just miss that sparkle shifting content used to have.)

the posts i used to read at the start were so exciting, they made me actually want to go there, to experience things, made me happy for what those people accomplished.

and now i’m here, doomscrolling and with my only sources of motivation being my bestie and tiktoks.

Lowkey sucks, yeah.
