my shifting "hard pills to swallow" takes (but it's things that have been rambled about in the community for ages)
reposting from my old tt accs
— some of yall need to get off ur high horse and realise that nobody gaf about what u (a stranger) has to say about another stranger's dr. "omg u are shifting to a horror dr?" i reacted "👍🏾" to ur message because if i couldn't give a toss about my own mother's opinions towards me why would i care abt urs?? u giving such a reaction isn't gonna make ppl less likely to shift there
— the whole "finally! more male shifters" is iffy and misogynistic asl; i remember seeing a post about it awhile ago on tt and it spoke my flipping mind. its giving when men join a woman-dominated fandom and all of a sudden its, "finally ppl will take us seriously" and its so WEIRD! why do we need more men in order for shifting to be taken more seriously?? tf who care what others think about our beliefs. we r gonna be living up our dream lives, next!
— some of yall act like its the worst thing in the world when someone who knows NOTHING/LITTLE about the loa asks for advice in ur comment sections "the internet is free" so is being kind, recommend the resources or js shut up
— debating with anti-shifters is so pointless; at the end of the day, u gotta take a step back and realise "why am i debating MY beliefs with someone who clearly doesn't believe in them"; just block and move awn!
— "just shift" is one of the best and worst advice i ever heard in my life; yes shifting is as simple as breathing but when u have obviously only known about this reality all ur life, someone telling u to "just shift" can cause question marks above ur head; suggesting stuff like detaching from this reality and attaching to another one is WAYYY more useful advice or suggesting being the identity of ur dr self
— just because someone u look up to has shifted/manifested (something "big) doesn't mean they know all the answers to the universe
— people are allowed to be jealous of someone having the same s/o; it's a common feeling i fear. i hate how some of yall have demonised jealousy and acting like someone being jealous of someone having the same dr s/o of them is the worst thing ever; like are we forgetting shifting is REAL?? obvs being horrible to someone with the same s/o is so unwarranted and uncalled for but ur allowed to have boundaries and dni if u want to
— just because something happened/someone acted like xyz in ur dr happened to u, doesn't mean u can push the narrative that it will happen to other ppl (by this, i mean back then when ppl used to talk about "not everything i scripted happened to me so it wont happen to u" and act like because of their belief that everything they script wouldn't work they projected it to other ppl)
— nobody owes u anything. ur fav experienced loa creator/shifter doesn't owe u storytimes, personal things from their life, advice, etc
