storytime: I shifted to my dr and stayed there for a year 💌
hey everyone!! long time no see 🥲 I hope you guys are all doing well!! :D this is a long-ish storytime, so buckle in!!
also i heavily apologize for how much ill gush at bruce wayne during this.
summer recently started for me, and with this break I wanted to spend time in my drs.
I really wanted to go back to my superman dr, I had such a blast being a journalist.
so one morning, right after my semester ended, I shifted to my superman dr.
things were more or less the same, I really liked the routine but I loved the uncertainty of the stories I’d report on. it was like I was in my own little bubble.
I myself try to get juicy stories but other than the occasional celeb interview, I usually tend to focus my writing on the community, such as various events happening around town, where someone could find food and shelter, and where the recreational activities would be. unfortunately though I have come to learn that a lot of my writing is pushed towards the end of the papers, but that doesn’t stop me.
I got to know lois and cat more, which was really refreshing because clark is a YAPPER. I get distracted SO easily and whenever clark comes by my desk I know i’m going to have to listen to his voice and his voice only for 30 minutes straight. I love clark (platonically) but sometimes he just rambles on to whoever has ears.
speaking of lois and cat, we’ve all been hanging out more outside of work!! they’re so much fun to hang out with. we usually go to bars, grab some food and drinks and talk about who or what is bothering us at work.
I, surprisingly, spent a good chunk of my year there networking with bruce wayne. i’m guessing he really liked my interview of his. cat keeps teasing how he wants to do more than networking with me and every time she says that I have to roll my eyes (playfully ofc) because there are a handful of journalists that he likes and that he invites to events. but whenever I say that she sarcastically goes “mhm, sure.” like okay diva I know you run the gossip column but pls do not start a dating rumor with THEE bruce wayne on my behalf.
he is SUCH a great person though, always love talking to him. no matter the event he always makes his favorite journalists feel welcomed. one event I was a little lost in trying to find my seat and he put a gentle hand on my waist and guided me there. ngl it had me feeling like this:
maybe I wouldn’t mind a little gossip column on me and bruce
I will not lie to you guys, I do have a tiiinyyy crush on bruce. that waist hold had me realizing things. BUT. i must keep it professional. or else he’s not gonna invite me to any other events. BUT. hear me out. what if he has a crush on me too that’s never gonna happen.
he really is such a charming guy, there’s these little things that he does whenever I go to events hosted by him. he personally sends me handwritten invitations, and delivers them to my front door instead of the office. whenever I come to the events he makes sure that i’m greeted personally by him and that i’m comfortable throughout the entire event. i’m on the shorter side so whenever I talk to him he always leans down and puts his ear close to my face. and whenever he replies back to me he speaks very softly in my ear while putting a gentle hand on my back. I blush every single time. 😞
so if you’re reading this right now and wondering how I know that bruce wayne is batman, clark kent is superman, etc. in this reality, but don’t know it in my dr, I kind of get déjà vu? I look at them and they seem familiar but I can’t ever really place it.
anyways, I digress, I just thought that’d be interesting to share.
in other personal news that happened, I downsized my apartment!! my previous apartment felt way too big for just one person, so I found a newly renovated apartment closer to the daily planet, and has all of my needs!!
as for major events, lex corp got into an environmental scandal, lex was experimenting on something in his building but there ended up being leaks and it smelt of sulfur for DAYS in metropolis. not to mention it was during the peak summer season and the weather was at its hottest. it smelled like someone just let it rip everytime you’d step outside. it was starting to harm the grass, trees, animals, and people. everyone had to start wearing masks and glasses because it would burn our noses and eyes. luckily superman helped distribute masks and helped contain the leaks.
I worked with lois on the paper and we had to run around town asking people for interviews and their insight. safe to say luthorcorp was having a pr crisis for the rest of the season.
in other major events, the justice league indicted new members. I didn’t get the honor of interviewing them but I did get to take a couple of photos from the event. when I tell you guys that these new members had fan accounts popping up everywhere, and my tiktok (yes there’s tiktok in my dr) fyp was filled with edits…yeah.
when fall rolled around, the daily planet had their own version of thanksgiving when the time came. because there were so many employees, we had to split different dates with different departments. I brought store bought pound cake to my department party, and perry brought the turkey (all of us were FEASTING)
surprisingly, this was a time when I would rarely get issues to write on. most of my time during the fall was spent working remotely. I had time to decorate my apartment for the upcoming holidays which was very therapeutic, and I’d work near my window while taking a sip of hot cocoa.
there wasn’t anything major going on with superman either. he mainly helped people who didn’t have any shelter find a warm place for the night.
fall + winter are my favorite seasons, so I was super excited to experience them in this dr. I mayyy have gone overboard with my decor but that’s what these seasons are about.
the girls (lois, cat, and I) had a gift exchange and got drinks at a local restaurant closer to the end of the year. I gave them both a personalized leather bound journal, candles, chocolate, and a gift card for certain chain restaurants around metropolis.
from cat I was gifted a scarf with one of those mug sets that come with cookies, hot cocoa, and mints. and from lois I had gotten a gift card to the movie theater, as well as a spa facial coupon.
on new years, I was invited to a wayne charity event so yk I had to go 🫣
but for most of that evening I just mingled with the other journalists and people there, as well as talk to bruce (again hehe). I left shortly after the clock striked midnight because I was in gotham and I was scared to stay out any later.
during spring everyone in metropolis suddenly remembered they had free will because why was I seeing superman flying up almost every single day. it would always be something new with metropolis. but it worked out for me because I got to work on superman papers with lois and clark 😝
I worked remote around half of spring because my allergies were so bad and any allergy medicine would instantly make me drowsy so I had no choice but to work from home. lots of zoom calls of me sneezing muted.
I eventually shifted back when it was mid-may in my dr. at this point i’ve missed my loved ones in my cr and wanted to see them again. but I was SO disoriented coming back to my cr i’ve genuinely never felt so disoriented in my life. it felt like I woke up from a nap thinking it was morning but it was actually nighttime. I had to stay in my room for a while because of it 😭
but anyways, that’s my storytime for now!! I have another dc dr (young justice) that I recently shifted to and i’ll give you guys a storytime on that as well soon enough!
for now, if anyone has any advice on how to approach bruce wayne the next time i shift to my superman dr, that would be greatly appreciated 😅
Genuinely stfu about race changing and stfu about morals and shut the fuck up about “POC deserve to have their opinions heard on this topic”
No, the fuck they dont. Literally no the fuck they don't. The truth is u are just too caught in this reality and ur identity and ur struggles and that's the truth. And u just want ur reality to be perfect, where everyone understands u blah blah blah. Which is okay but shift to a reality where race changers don’t exist if pro race changers ragebait u so hard?
Ur attachment to this reality and your identity is what makes u anti race changers write these long ass moral rants
Well guess what? Not everyone's attached to this reality the way u are. And this is coming from a POC herself. There are literally realities where white people are oppressed and POC arent
And no, no one has to respect this reality and its rules and morals. No one needs to respect anything in regard to anything and I'm not just talking about race changing. No one needs to script out racism, classism, poverty, wars, etc and that’s the truth
So shut ur bitch ass up stop trying to get people to care about it bc the people u want to stop being pro race changing operate beyond attachment unlike u
Sorry not sorry bc I’m tired of reading about the nice bloggers trying to hold ur guys hands and u guys not understanding shit so now I had to step in and THIS is how I talk so deal wit it💋
When it comes to manifestation, one of the biggest lies you have been taught is that time controls you, that you have to wait, hope, and eventually, maybe someday, things will line up for you. But the truth is the exact opposite: you control time. Time bends, folds, stretches, and collapses according to your decision, your certainty, your focus, your persistence, and your consistency. It is not a rigid external force. It is a soft, flexible system that your mind projects outward into reality. Time is not your master. It is your tool. The past and future don’t truly exist, they are only mental stories replayed or imagined by the mind. You never experience the past again, and you never arrive in the future. All you ever have is this one unfolding moment, always now. Even memories or plans happen in the present awareness. Time is a mind-made illusion but reality only lives here, now, and never leaves.
At its core, time is not a law of the universe. Time is a perception, it is a structure created by consciousness to track changes and events. Physicists have proven that time is relative; it moves faster or slower depending on gravity, motion, and observation. But what they don't often say outright is that on the level of personal reality, the world you live in every day your perception of time is the ultimate authority. The stronger your decision, the stronger your control over time. Manifestation happens at the speed of your certainty, not the speed of the clock.
Have you noticed how time feels slow when you’re bored, but speeds up when you’re doing something exciting? That’s because time isn’t fixed, your awareness controls how you experience it. When you’re bored, your mind notices every second passing, stretching the moment. But when you’re fully engaged or having fun, your focus narrows to the present, and hours can feel like minutes. This shows that time is not an external force, it’s experienced through you.
When you decide something is yours right now, you send a direct command to your subconscious mind. Your subconscious is the mechanism that projects your reality outward. It does not know the difference between past, present, and future it only knows the dominant state you are feeding it in this moment. If you keep saying "I will have it soon," your subconscious projects "not yet" into your reality. If you declare, "I already have it," your subconscious projects "already mine" and the outer world must mirror that back to you in the fastest way it can, rearranging people, events, and circumstances outside your logical understanding.
You are the initiator of time collapse.
You are the one who says how long something takes.
You are the one who gives permission for delays or removes them instantly.
Every second you spend wondering "when" is another second you stretch time longer. Every second you stand firm in "it’s already mine," you crush the timeline into the now. Reality has no choice but to respond to your energetic command. It cannot disobey you, because your consciousness is the cause of reality. You are not chasing after results. You are not running behind time. You are walking ahead of it. Time moves after you, not before you.
Imagine time like a river. Most people stand helplessly in the current, letting the river carry them wherever it wants. But when you truly understand manifestation, you realize: you are the one shaping the river’s path. You are the one controlling the current. You can slow it, speed it up, even jump straight to the destination without floating through all the points in between — by commanding with your certainty. Manifestation is not waiting for life to move you. Manifestation is you moving life itself.
Every desire you have already exists. There is no "someday" reality being built in the distance. All possibilities exist right now. The only thing separating you from living that version is your mental acceptance. When you mentally say, "This is mine right now," and truly mean it with every breath, every thought, every focus, you activate the immediate timeline where you and your desire are already one and the same.
For example, let’s say you want to manifest a specific person, let’s say being married to them and living your dream life together. Instead of waiting for time to pass or wondering when it will happen, you declare right now that this version of your reality already exists. You simply decide this is your reality. You focus on that version of yourself now, as if it is the only truth that exists. You don’t need to believe or feel a certain way; you decide. The second you decide, the universe starts rearranging itself to bring that Specific Person into your 3D world. It bends time, it alters situations, and it shifts circumstances around you to make it happen because you made the decision, and you are controlling the timeline.
Most delays happen because the mind wobbles. You say, "It’s mine," but a few minutes later you look around, doubt it, check the 3D world, and unconsciously tell yourself, "Maybe not yet." This small mental wobble pulls you back into linear time. It stretches the journey. It invites obstacles that were never even necessary. The clock does not move first, your focus moves first, and the clock responds. Your external world is not stuck — it’s you momentarily pausing your own manifestation by slipping into doubt.
If you want true speed, if you want to experience the power of instant shifts, you must develop the inner skill of unbreakable decision. Decision that does not look for proof. Decision that does not ask "how or when." Decision that is final, solid, and total. Decision that declares, "It’s mine now," and does not flinch, no matter what happens outside. It’s not stubbornness. It’s creative authority. It’s the way you demonstrate your true identity as the creator of your world.
Remember this forever: you are the master of time. Time is not ticking against you. Time is waiting on you. Time is not some enemy that delays your dreams. Time is neutral, it does whatever you say. If you say, "This has to take a long time," time agrees. If you say, "It’s already done," time collapses, folds in on itself, and delivers it to you in ways you couldn’t even predict.
Reality is infinitely flexible under the pressure of your certainty.
Reality bends itself around the story you tell.
Reality obeys your mental timeline, not the one you see on the clock.
You are the clock. You are the calendar. You are the timeline. You are the speed.
When you fully accept that your decision creates the when, not some external force, you will no longer fear delays. You will no longer wonder "how long it’s going to take." You will know that the second you stop doubting and stand fully in "it’s mine," the clock disappears and only the experience of already having it remains.
This is not fantasy. This is not theory.
This is how reality responds to human consciousness, all the time, whether you realize it or not.
Screw that anon! Give me your best auntie Di and uncle Clark hc please 🥺 or any other non batfam hc
Uncle Clark who always accidentally gets roped into doing something dangerous with the kids like letting Dick cannonball off roofs to be caught at the last second and be like, "but they said you said it was ok??"
Aunt Diana who is on their side no matter what. Bruce forgets to list Steph as part of the Robins? Jason kills a drug lord selling to kids and Bruce chews him out? Diana is on the phone, telling him to get his ass to where she is immediately because HOW DARE HE TREAT HER NEBLINGS LIKE THIS??
Uncle Clark who is very protective of the kids, very aware of how public their images are. Uncle Clark who appears like a cryptid to politely ask a gossip columnist writing slander against the older kids or a photographer after they took pictures of Damian outside of school.
Aunt Diana who will give the kids anything. ANYTHING. Unhealthy food? Check? Replacement Maserati? Check? Access to the Vatican archives? Check?
Aunt Diana who spars with them like a mama lion does with a cub, where it looks serious but she's literally just playing. Cue Bruce sweating bullets behind them.
Uncle Clark who is the softest target. He falls for every prank there is.
You know the whole Bruce can't cook schtick that we're all on? What if it's the opposite? Competent cook Bruce who loves making large, complicated meals for the family and loving dad Bruce who wants to feed his kids constantly. Bruce who bakes cookies for study groups, brings Tupperware full of soup, nourishing stews when the kids are sick or depressed or injured, visits with an entire cooler of meals prepped for their fridges. Bruce who cooks snacks and dinner before they go on patrol, fusses when the kids won't eat, knows all their preferences and allergies, Bruce who keeps ladling out extra servings because the kids aren't eating enough, Bruce who's love language is good food because that's what he had from Alfred.
disclaimer: no use of sodapop in the method. i am sodapop. i do the method. therefore it is the sodapop method
i. how the method came to be
my method was created not by analyzing my intentional successful shifts, but my accidental successful shifts. both are valuable to me, of course, but the answers i was seeking lie in shifts where not even intention was part of the equation that caused them. where they took no more effort than the tiny, unremarkable shifts that occur in our day-to-day lives, but broke the continuity that allows each of those infinite tiny shifts to appear as one fluid experience. where i became aware of such a vastly different ego, and as a result, a vastly different physical experience; all without intention, without a method, without expectation !!!!!!! using those as the foundation for my method was my own “key”: disconnect from one reality, attach to another. blur the line between them instead of trying to claw my way past it.
ii. the method itself
step one: relax and start the disconnection process
i prefer doing this method in bed before going to sleep. i like the idea of not having any commitments or distractions to worry about. it allows me to fully immerse myself in what i’m doing without worrying about running out of time. time isn't even real. but whatever. you can do this any time you want. get in a comfortable position and close your eyes. let yourself relax. there are a few things you could do to guide your awareness away from this reality. i choose to daydream. it doesn’t matter what about, but i typically choose my dr (in the times i accidentally shifted, it was as a result of daydreaming. more on this later). this step only needs to be very brief as the next will cause you to disconnect further. if you have trouble with guiding awareness away from the physical, then use that to your advantage. use a sensory constant of some sort to bridge the perceived "gap" between your cr and dr. play auditory ambiance that your dr self would hear in the moment that you’re shifting to. wear a perfume that your dr self would wear. if your dr self is laying in bed in the moment that you’re shifting to, lay in bed. if they’re sitting in a chair, shift from a chair. this sensory constant acts as an anchor for your awareness. but it's not required. do whatever you want
step two: introduce contextual familiarity
retrace the steps of your dr self leading up to the moment you’re shifting to. remember that there is no difference between memories from this reality and whatever you decide are memories in your dr. the past is malleable because it technically doesn't exist. it's a concept, just like everything relating to time. shifting transcends it. for example, if you’re shifting to a moment where you’re laying in bed to sleep after going out with your friends, chronologically follow the steps you took throughout your day. it doesn’t have to be a detailed, 24-hour deep-dive, but a general overview of the events. gradually introduce the use of the five senses as you get more comfortable. the smell of the perfume you were wearing, the taste of the drinks you had, the sound of the music playing there, the feeling of hugging your friends. these would be the memories most fresh on your mind at the end of the day. it’s the same as retrospectively thinking about your day in your cr (and who's to say these aren't your memories from earlier today??? they literally are. you're your dr self. these are your dr self's memories). this stage is the closest to what i would describe as a transition process, but it’s still part of the shift of awareness. it feels much more natural to me than suddenly declaring “okay, i’m in my dr now.” it’s a full mindset shift rather than just throwing out affirmations and waiting for the world around me to play catch up. it's allowing yourself to just drift into your dr rather than jumping right into cold water and hastily trying to burn the ships. you may not notice the moment it happens, but at a certain point you'll stop being an outsider looking in on another reality, but instead recognizing it as your own.
step three: enter the present moment. you're your dr self, and your dr self is there
you’re familiar with the day you’ve had, you’ve reminisced long enough, now you’re your dr self in the moment you intend to be in. how would they think? embody them. think about their plans, feel the emotions that they would feel, simply be them. don’t force this. just allow whatever comes to mind to be. things like, “i should see if [friend] wants to hang out tomorrow,” “i had so much fun doing [thing in my dr] today,” or “i need to remember to do [thing in my dr] later.” when i accidentally shifted, i was placing myself in the shoes of my dr self, albeit just to fantasize. i got caught up in my daydreams, and my mindset became that of the ego i was fantasizing about. and before i knew it, i was kissing my s/o. IMAGINE THAT. and not in a shockingly vivid daydream. it was as real as real could possibly get. unmistakable. i let go of one ego and allowed myself to become the other.
tldr because the paragraphs make it seem a lot more extensive than it actually is: relax > reminisce on your dr self's day as your dr self. use the 5 senses to become more in touch with your dr and "flesh it out" so to speak > think as your dr self. accept that you are them. it's done, so let it be
iii. additional advice on executing the method (and every other method)
the method is not your pink slip of dismissal from this reality. you’re not waiting for permission from the method to shift. you’re not building up momentum that eventually pushes you past the threshold and into your dr. exertion of force is not what causes the shift. you’re the one doing the method. you’re the one that holds the power. the method is just an avenue for you to exercise it. it’s a guide. don’t approach the method waiting for outside confirmation that you’re doing everything perfectly. instead approach it with the knowledge that the start of it was already its completion. drop expectation and let the method be. drop what you’ve been told about shifting being the same as ordering a package and waiting for it to arrive. there’s only a process if you decide that there is. there is no placing the order, waiting for it to be packaged, tracking its delivery, waiting for the knock on your door. why? because shifting is not amazon (i hate you jeff bezos). it’s in your hands the second you decide that it is. stepping into the mind of your dr self, therefore becoming aware of your dr self, is the shift. it’s done. instant. everything else is just you existing in the reality you choose to. the physical is shaped by your assumptions, so don’t let your assumptions be shaped by physical observation. don’t trap yourself in that loop. let go. that's when the shift happens. i didn't feel anything lock into place when i shifted. my dr crept up on me, and i was too busy already being my dr self to notice. because that ego, body, mind, identity, whatever, wasn't asking for permission from her surroundings to be where she already was. she was just there.
iv. don't bean soup the method
"but sodapop, i don't like doing xyz!" "but sodapop, in my dr, it would make more sense for me to do xyz!" "but sodapop, i'm actually more comfortable when i do xyz!"
you don't have to do every step in the sodapop method. i centered it around myself and my own experiences (hence the name). your shifting journey is, ideally, centered around your own. if you like strawberries and hate blueberries, you don't have to make blueberry muffins just because a random baker on the internet posts about how much they love making blueberry muffins. make them with strawberries. it's not all or nothing. take what resonates and modify the rest to your liking. there are literally no wrong answers, and your ability to shift isn't graded on accuracy & strict adherence to some random blogger's method.
