If I wanted to have a slowburn type romance with a character in my dr, would I have to script that specifically or can I be more vague? Also, how much detail do I need to go into in my script in genera?l I'm not sure if my habit of overexplaining things is gonna help or hurt me in this case.

Hi! Here’s some general tips on scripting.

And I’m gonna use your ask as an excuse for a big informational post.

Scripting romances

Tiktok will say it’s bad to script you’re already in a relationship because of... consent? Well, Tiktok is literally wrong and shows a fundamental misunderstanding of shifting and the multiverse.

You’re not creating a new reality in which your script would create a situation where you are in a romance without their consent. You’re just specifying via your script you want to go to a reality where you’re already in a relationship.

There are no issues with consent??? They’ve already consented to a relationship with you. You’re just shifting to a reality where that has already happened.

Some suggestions for scripting to shift to a preexisting relationship:

NAME and I are a happy couple.

NAME and I share a strong, healthy relationship.

NAME and I understand each other completely.

NAME and I have been happily dating for BLANK.

NAME and I love to spend time together.

NAME and I communicate well.

NAME appreciates me so much.

NAME wouldn’t dream of breaking up with me.

NAME is the perfect S/O and I am the perfect S/O.

If you feel like it would be out of character for them to be absolutely perfect (Draco Malfoy perhaps) you can leave behavior affirmations out and just focus on their love for you.

Some people like the experience of developing a romance with a DR person, and that’s fine! You don’t have to shift to an already existing romance. You can script you have or will develop feelings for each other using whatever affirmations you want. Here are some suggestions:

NAME finds me attractive.

NAME has eyes for no one but me.

NAME finds me irrestable.

NAME and I develop feelings for each other.

NAME and I have a strong bond that developes into a friendship into something more.

NAME’s interest in me grows with every second.

You can also script for specific romantic events to happen.

Some examples/possibly suggestions if they apply ig:

NAME and I watch a movie at their house, and they first recognize their feelings when they see me smiling at the film.

NAME asks me out after we fall asleep on FaceTime.

NAME and I kiss as a dare but the next time we are alone, continue without thinking about it.

For a slow burn romance, though your intent and imagination of what your DR life will be like will likely cover it, I think scripting it is a good specification. You could script specific events like before as your relationship grow and know/script the events have long periods between each other, or you could use more specific affirmations for a slow burn in general, some suggestions being:

NAME and I gradually develop feelings for each other.

NAME and I keep our romantic interest hidden.

NAME pines for me over time.

I pine for NAME over time.

Our romantic relationship develops slowly.

As we develop feelings for each other we long for each other.

NAME decides to hide their love for as long as possible.

BLANK keeps us from confessing.

Every time we drop a hint about our deeper emotions, the other writes it off.

NAME believes they’re reading too far into any possibly romantic interaction.

NAME and I have an impossibly strong bond.

NAME and I don’t address the growing tension between us.

All these affirmations can be applied to poly relationships, too, just add in the other names and people. There are realities out there where you are all poly together!! Go ahead and shift there if you want :)

REMINDER

These are real people. Unless they deserve it, I guess, please don’t cheat on them. Please don’t break their hearts for fun. Please don’t murder anybody else who has feelings for them. You need their consent for sexual activities. Don’t take advantage of emotional distress to get sex. Please treat them as you would a partner in your CR.

Hi can you explain me what i should do after i wrote my script and how i should use it while i try to shift?

hi there anon! thanks for asking, here's a few little tips that we've come up with for you:

firstly, we know this can be a bit hard or annoying to get used to at first, but scripting and shifting is 100% up to what you want, it's your conscience, your mind, your higher power, so you can basically go about it any possible way you want and it wont be wrong because there is no wrong to shifting. 

Scripts are not necessary but are useful for gathering your thoughts about your dr, it doesn’t have to be a thesis length script and a few simple dot points is completely fine.

when I write my scripts - (hi it's me amber!) - i usually write them on a word document on my laptop and just read over it once before i try to shift

but if you've got a hard copy you could do the same thing or even put it under your pillow while you shift. (this is called the pillow method and is usually also used with another method such as the raven method, we'll make a post explaining what methods are in the very near future)

when it comes to how you use your scripts, that's up to you. You could choose to read it once every day, or write it and never look at it again. either way your script will work for you no matter what so don't stress over it too much!

I (fen) usually incorporate parts of my script into a method that im using, methods are ways that help to gather intentions to shift, such as using parts of my script in affirmation e.g: My name is fen, my safe word is ___ etc.

here's a helpful little guide to more about scripting and how to use a script

i hoped this helped you anon! feel free to ask anymore questions.

enjoy your shifting journey and please never give up on it, you've got this <3
