May The Road Rise Up To Meet You

Tee. 23. 🦁 a skeptical shifter MINORS DNI

[t-leaves]

Dia dhuit, shiftblr!

My name is Tee, I'm 23 and I have been trying to shift since January 2023. My journey started after my having an existential crisis, regressing to my childhood self by reobsessing over Harry Potter and subsequently googling if it was possible to go to Hogwarts 😭 ✨

I have not successfully shifted yet but I have lucid dreamt about attempting to shift which made me feel so much more secure in my journey! I subscribe to the consciousness theory and my current methods involve alternating between wbtb lucid dreaming and the wim hof pink breath method followed by alunir's 5 senses meditation. Edit: currently having a crack at the gateway tapes and trying to master focus 10. Edit of the edit: got diagnosed with ADHD which recontexualised my struggles with staying still for a prescribed amount of time. Am now trying methods that have no definitive length of time ie: mantras until i get bored. Serving me well so far.

I'm here mostly to feel less alone in my shifting journey, organise my thoughts and share the details of my dr to inspire others <3 Happy to be mutuals with anybody 18+

My drs/wrs:

Wizarding world dr - PJO x White Vault dr - Figure Skating dr - EPL dr - WSL dr - Professor Layton dr - Ballet dr - Britcom/Fame/Better cr dr Marauders dr - Cabin Pressure dr - Wii Sports Resort wr - Music Hall dr - Jazz dr - PWHL dr Pre Raphaelite dr - misc. historical drs - lots of podcast drs that would give my identity away if i posted them they are so niche 😅 - GBBO wr - knowledge wr - reading wr - twd/we're alive dr - doctor who - marscorp dr - pianist dr - 19th century muggle chemist dr - star wars drs - golden age of animation dr -

I absolutely ADORE scripting!! If anybody wants to chat about it or needs ideas for dr lore I'm your girl :D especially if you're planning on shifting to a wizarding world dr my script is like 80 samsung notes pages deep

I am personally very uninterested in the ideal life style shifting (can't sweat, face claim, everybody is in love with you, infinite wardrobe etc.) and I am also not interested in shifting for romance (although I have become very attached to one of my OCs...) Super curious about whether there are other people in this space who feel a bit alienated by these shifting archetypes and are perhaps using their drs as exposure therapy ie learning to cope with difficult situations? Would love to chat about it ✨

We're all going to shift!

you’re not scripting, you’re remembering

you’re not learning, you’re remembering

you’re not daydreaming, you’re remembering

you’re not thinking, you're remembering

you’re not manifesting, you’re remembering

you are not shifting—you are remembering

I attempted my first portal in a lucid dream last night. I was so excited but i still had doubts. Going to try astral projection tonight. I feel good about shifting.

DR MOOD BOARDS and a brief(ish) introduction to my four main drs:

Marauders dr

"I wish it need not have happened in my time." "So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Age: 17 (Going into 5th year at Hogwarts)

Year: 1977 House: Gryffindor (Prefect)

Hometown: Sligo Town, Co. Sligo, 🇨🇮

Status: Muggleborn

Favourite Subject(s): DADA - gifted in duelling, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration

Friends: Lily Evans, Severus Snape (by association), Mary McDonald, eventually befriending the lads is my plan - starting with Remus (my fellow prefect-who-probably- shouldn't-be-a-prefect) who will eventually become my closest friend when I become a werewolf (after intervening with the prank™️ )

S/O: Marlene McKiernan, 26, 🇨🇮 - born in Ballycastle, Co. Antrim, Wizarding Ireland's 'Second City' known for its grand and formidable fortress architecture - Auror born to a family of aurors who are on unfriendly terms with the british ministry - We meet at my first order meeting in 1980

Canon divergence: The war will last longer (because James and Lily don't get murdered); Marlene won't be killed; Hogwarts starts at 13 instead of 11; canon personalites and lore are largely intact [ie, small population; the marauders are dickheads and severus joins the death eaters (but no SWM) ; marlene, dorcas, emmeline etc are all realistic ages]

Post-War Wizarding World dr

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I— I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

Age: 15 (for healing purposes)

Year: 2017 House: Gryffindor

Hometown: Gwindarling, The Forest of Arden, one of the oldest druidic settlements in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Friends: irl, irl, Ardal O'Gadhra, Clare Milburn, Aurora 'Rory' Laurenson (<3), Fred Weasley jr (known to his friends as 'Tony' from his middle name: Fenton), Matilda Wong, Teddy Lupin (best friend of my sister)

Canon divergence - the politics differ due to the existence of multiple druidic autonomous regions in England. Sirius, Remus and Tonks all survived the war. The wizarding population is much larger.

Figure Skater dr

"I sure would hate to be one of the decision makers who was at that BOA meeting, the one where they passed on the chance to champion this skater, and to be looking back on that now."

Does anybody else's crippling health anxiety tell them that they need to learn how to shift within the next couple of weeks because, unlike the rest of the shifting community, you do not have all the time in the world to shift due to your certain premature death from [insert terminal illness of the week] : or is it just me?

I'm writing with light sarcasm but to be completely honest this is the number one obstacle in my shifting journey at the moment. I want to invest in solutions that ensure progress but ask for patience as the process takes time (such as learning to lucid dream or astral project which in turn requires further patience with regards to fixing my sleeping) however my brain is so convinced I do not have this luxury of time that instead of investing in any sort of future, both in shifting and my current reality, time after time it resorts to futile, last minute methods such as the 'affirm and then roll over and sleep' method or the notorious 'wish really hard and it will happen' method.

I know the solution is to treat my chronic health anxiety but that is like saying the solution is to treat that terminal illness that i am so afraid of. I'm just stuck with this debilitating belief system.

Race changing discourse: passé and done to death.

Sex changing discourse: an untapped vein of turmoil and despair.

Is it right for a man to shift to be a woman? Is it appropriation of the female experience? Does scripting no sexism erase our struggles in this reality? Is it a form of fetishism of the female - that which leads to incalculable harm on a mass scale?

Currently trying to figure out how to shift to Andor without traumatising myself.

Driving lessons are so fucking expensive in England I am considering using shifting to practice.

When you finally find another lesbian shifter but all their s/o's are men

I dreamt of wild boars last night which just so happen to be Marlene's patronus. She wants to see me too :')

[oceanbpm-deactivated20250818]

thinking!!! about living and breathing magic!!!

thinking about (almost never) having to replace what is broken because reparo exists. thinking about not having to dwarf myself in layers in the winter because the warming charm exists. thinking about not having to suffer through scorching heat in the summer (like i am right now god help me) because the cooling charm exists. thinking about never having to haul groceries or shopping bags because i can shrink them down to the size of a penny and carry them in my pocket. thinking about never losing anything accio can't find. thinking about wearing bewitched jewellery that blinks and flutters and whistles soft tunes. thinking about making doodles that develop a life of their own and swim across the margins of my homework.

thinking about my life as a witch, simple and true 🧙🏾‍♀️🧙🏾‍♀️🧙🏾‍♀️✨️✨️

There is a note on my phone, made in the early hours of the early days of April, that just reads 'Gringotts stock broker dr.' No memory of writing it exists and i do not recall what I meant by it nor am I cognizant of why I was so enthralled by the idea. But hey - free dr idea for anybody interested!

Lengthy, unstructured scripts truly capture the light and shade of human desire:

'I never developed a deep sense of shame and embarassment in my formative years and any embarassment I do end up feeling does not manifest as physical symptoms.'

< Line break >

'Mingles were never discontinued.'
