answering for my teen fame dr (the one i’m focusing on rn)
— riptide , vance joy .ᐟ pretty straightforward really, in this dr i’m a part of the pjo cast so it is only right that this song would remind me of it + it’s always been one of my favs !!
— welcome to new york ; taylor swift .ᐟ as you might imagine, i live in nyc here hehe
— saigon , luke hemmings .ᐟ idk how to explain this but the general vibe of it is SOO me, it makes me kinda nostalgic for some reason
— style ; taylor swift .ᐟ honestly this one just represents me and the celestial trio, if you’re in the fandom you’ve probably seen edits of walker, aryan and leah to this and it just fits so well, i can imagine all 3 of us laughing and having fun in videos from a tiktok edit with this song playing 😭
— buon viaggio (share the love) ; cesare cremonini .ᐟ italian song that i adore !! it lifts my mood every single time i play it, it’s so sweet and if you’ve seen the italian version of skam, specifically s2, you’d recognize it from the scene where the boys are all in the living room cleaning the house: they’re just having fun together and that’s exactly what i picture when it’s playing
— dancing queen ; abba .ᐟ again, another one for my friends 🤞🏻 this one in particular reminds me of my bffs i love them sm :((
— all we ever do is talk ; del water gap .ᐟ it’s just THAT song (specifically for the pjo cast, with our filming shenanigans and crazy stuff we do together but also in general with the people i care about and enjoy spending time with)
— baby blue ; luke hemmings .ᐟ i’ve recently realised that it has a sort of shifting reference in its chorus if you squint ?? now i can’t stop thinking about it and honestly it’s just a song that i love both here and there
— fearless ; taylor swift .ᐟ when i say this song is me core EVERYWHERE like genuinely everyone associates me with it and it’s so wholesome </3
if you’re anything like me, you’re constantly tearing your hair out at the root at the thought of a “finished” script. what does that even mean?? finished? there’s always more to add, always more to be said in a script—how are you supposed to put any limit on your desires?
for me ( self-proclaimed as greedy and functionally insatiable ) i can never get enough of shouting to the universe and my subconscious about what i want. every car, item of chic clothing, piece of furniture that i can see myself lounging on, friend i’d like to get on with, imagined cute moment with a lover, it all has to be mine—very specifically
thankfully, that's where moodboarding comes in—how you can make sure your subconscious knows all of your desires in their specificity, rather than you having to run your poor fingers ragged typing every singular shred of wanting into your script
moodboards? absolute game-changers, babe. just by cobbling a bunch of photos together into a hastily assembled Pinterest board, you’re basically saying, “here’s my order, thanks—make it snappy” to the universe and your subconscious. when you drag together those dreamy pics, perfectly tuned-in quotes, and curated color schemes, you’re not just daydreaming—you’re blueprinting. you’re locking in on the energy of what you want, and your subconscious eats that up
౨ৎ. GETTING A CLEAR PICTURE.
moodboards provide the ultimate clarity. once you slap a picture onto a desire—whether it’s pinning it to your Pinterest, dragging it into your Notion collage, or just casually thinking, “that SO fits my DR”—you’re locking that vision in. it’s not just a vibe anymore; it’s an intention. you’re adding more detail to the reality, double-triple affirming that “yup, this is where i’m going"
plus, it’s fun !! you’re not just scrolling mindlessly; you’re curating your future. picking that red vintage convertible? that’s you putting links on your Christmas list to make sure you get exactly what you were looking for. it makes your DR feel real—tangible. you’re not just talking about your DR or searching for the right words to describe it; you’re seeing it, feeling it, absorbing it. it turns abstract manifestations into something you can taste
attaching an image to anything makes it feel real, a basic tenet of visualization in any situation, even to those with no interest in shifting. it gives your mind something solid to hold onto, “I already know what this looks and feels like” so it’s immeasurably easier to convince your mind the truth: you’re already there. just from looking at your curated pictures, you can smell the salty ocean air, feel a fitted cashmere sweater, or taste that overpriced (read: in your price range in your DR) raspberry caramel latte
when you specify exactly what you want to your subconscious ( all it takes to do that is to look at a photo you particularly like and declare “it’s mine” ) it starts plotting, aligning, making moves without you even realizing it. moodboards are more than just aesthetic—they’re manifestation GPS. set the intention, attach the visual—as many visuals as you want, and boom !! you’ve got a crystal-clear roadmap that ensures you not only wake up in your DR, but that you wake up in your DR equipped with everything you’ve ever even considered wanting there
౨ৎ. WHAT IF I’M NOT SPECIFIC ENOUGH ??
you know how the longer you have a phone, the more accurate the autocorrect and predictive text get? because your phone has gotten to know you and the way you talk, so now it can finish your sentences, and it knows what you mean?
your subconscious is like the OG predictive text, but on steroids. it’s been clocking your every thought, feeling, and intention since day one. it’s taking notes, memorizing your quirks, and connecting dots you didn’t even know existed. so when you toss your desires out into the universe, you don’t have to micromanage the process—your subconscious is already wayyyyy ahead of you
think of it like setting your GPS to “ideal reality,” but you don’t have to map every single turn and rest stop on the way there. you just punch in the destination (like that unbelievably chic house with the wrap-around porch, or the boyfriend who’s possessive but not in a gross toxic way, ugh) and your subconscious figures out the scenic route, including all the amenities you hadn’t even thought of. it’s the ultimate ride-or-die, working behind the scenes to align opportunities, ideas, and vibes, without you having to lift a finger
and the best part? it’s fluent in your language. you don’t need to over-explain, overthink, or stress the details (ahem, glances at your script pointedly)—your subconscious already knows the exact vibe you're looking for. it’s like handing the steering wheel off to an omniscient best friend who already knows your coffee order, your playlist, and how you like your fries. trust it. stay locked on the vision, and your subconscious will handle the rest, filling in the blanks like the intuitive, all-knowing god it is
⌗ 𝟐. gingerbread houses ; What does your house look like in your dr? Who do you live with? What is your favorite aspect of your house?
Chosen DR: Main TWST DR (aka my Siren DR)
So in my Twisted Wonderland DR I live in Ramshackle dorm! In my DR it never is in that really bad state that you see in the beginning of the game version of the reality in this CR due to the ghosts in my DR taking care of the place even before we got here, so aside from things like being dusty its not fully broken, which is a plus!
I live with Grim, the ghosts, and also Yuu! (cause yes Yuu is with me. We're good friends who were together when the carriage came and ended up getting transported at the same time fortunately-unfortunately). The ghosts are very goofy and sweet and sometimes help take care of things/us when stuff gets crazy 🥹 underrated goats frfr.
As weird as its going to sound, my favorite part about Ramshackle dorm is the little sliver of forest as well as the general plains/cliffs around it. I go there all the time to think/cool my head and often will take walks and kinda just hang around in the forests in the morning. I also walk along the cliffsides there too and will stare out a lot and sit there to ponder/be in my feels ;w;
