things *not* to put in your script (from what i’ve learned so far)

A/n - do whatever you want lmao, just don’t say i didn’t warn you. also remember that scripts aren’t necessary to shift, your subconsciousness knows what you want <3

-

• don’t script that everyone likes you! there’s no rivalry, everyone will feel obligated to give you whatever you want, etc. it’s much more interesting to let people form their own opinions and see what happens. a better option would be to script that you’re a likable person, just not that EVERYONE likes you.

•don’t script that everyone is madly in love with you! these are real people. unless everyone is suddenly really chill with polyamory, you’re probably going to be absolutely crushing hearts and that’s not fun for anyone.

•don’t script that you “don’t have trauma” when you come back to your cr. you can’t script for your original reality, that’s not how this works. you will have trauma regardless of what you put in your script. a better option is to script that you don’t experience traumatic things in your dr!

•don’t script that everyone hates you! “but i’ll change them-“ unless you script/truly intend otherwise, hate is a very strong emotion. people will be nasty towards you and that’s not an environment you should want to be in at any moment. even if you do change them, you might end up hating THEM by the time you get them there.

•this should be obvious but don’t script that ppl die just because you don’t like them. they’re real, i don’t care how much you hate them. if anything, change their personality to be more likable.

•don’t take away aspects of your own humanity! so don’t script that you don’t feel emotions, or pain, or morality or stuff like that. while technically you can, it makes for a sad existence while you’re in that reality and once you come back you’re probably never gonna want to go back there.

•do NOT make your backstory too traumatic. for example, i saw someone script that they saw their parents die. you will have some of your past memories of your dr even though your consciousness wasn’t present for those events. you will REMEMBER WATCHING YOUR PARENTS DIE. i don’t care how much you want to be y/n, it can and will mess up your mental state. both in your dr, and when/if you come back.

•don’t script that anyone is OBSESSED with you. obsession is terrifying and an actual mental issue. you think it’s cute and then you’re not getting any sleep because someone’s watching you through the window, or constantly calling you, or whatever.

•don’t change your skin color. just. don’t. (unless you’re like an alien or na’vi or something like that. i mean don’t script that you’re korean when you’re white in your cr. that is fetishization.)

•don’t script yourself younger just to date minors. i am younger in my dr, but the purpose isn’t “so that it isn’t weird.” i didn’t even script a s/o. i want the childlike sense of wonder that the world brings. for example, if you’re 20-something in this cr shifting to MHA specifically for one of the kids, that’s pretty weird.

•i might get hate for this but don’t script that you’re a death eater/villain/etc. without setting careful parameters. like if you’re a death eater in a harry potter dr, then you’re a blood supremacist and basically the dr version of a cr white supremacist. or if you’re a villain, you’ve done morally reprehensible and unforgivable things. you can be a “villain” who doesn’t hurt people. you can be a “death eater,” but change the policies they advocate for and things that they’ve done.

•don’t push/pull people together or apart just to stir up drama or for fun. they’re not your little barbie dolls. they’re real people with thoughts and feelings and making them miserable is a horrible thing to do.

•don’t script that you can do like a million things perfectly. you’re going to bauxbatons? cool, speak french. you’re going to korea in your dr, cool, speak korean. or you’re going into the maze runner, script you’re healthy/a good runner. but don’t needlessly script you’re perfect at every little thing. if you’re good at everything immediately then things will probably get pretty boring tbh. you ever watch one punch man? saitama literally got bored with fighting because no matter what he could win with a single punch.

•don’t script for a dr where you get with your parents??? i saw someone shifting for their cr father and i’ve never been so horrified. or like if you’re shifting to hp and sirius is your dad, don’t have a second script where you’re trying to get with him during the marauders era. that’s weird imo.

All those y/n fanfics conditioned me to write a script that is so ✨extra✨ and has many *main character moments* and follows unrealistic romantic tropes

And god my soul is SO ready for it
