โA successful shifter is just one that tried one more timeโ
how do you induce emotion / feel like your in your dr? maybe inducing isnโt the right word but how do you feel feelings when shifting?
There are so many ways to do this! Like listening to music, a song that sparks a memory from your DR, or even an ambient soundtrack that lets you fanfic your way deep into a scenario, really sinking into the vibe of the scene. There's no right or wrong method here. I promise, something in your life right now connects you to your DR and your DR selfโwhether itโs a song, a specific scenario you replay in your mind, or just that one thing that makes you feel like youโre already there, pulling out those strong emotions like a magnet.
Now, thereโs this visualization I loveโa simple, step-by-step process (because, ADHD brain here, I live for structured steps leave me alone). I usually use it to manifest in my CR, but itโs perfect for inducing that feeling of being in your DR, too. It goes like this:
Relax. Take a few deep breaths, let your body soften, melt into your chair, your bed, wherever you are. Let the tension drain awayโreally let yourself sink in.
Now, pick the scene you want to drop into. Maybe itโs your first morning waking up in your DR, maybe youโre chilling with your friends, maybe youโre wrapped up with your S/O. Whatever feels right.
Once youโve got your scene, youโre going to count from 1 to 10. But with each number, youโll visualize something specific in that spaceโlook around, touch your surroundings, feel the textures, the warmth, the coolness. Flex your hands, feel your body in that world. Itโs about anchoring yourself in the moment, fully immersing.
Let me give you an example so itโs crystal clear.
Say I want to shift to a DR where Iโm waking up in a bedroom with an ocean view and my cat curled up next to me. Iโd do it like this:
โOne.โ *I glance up at the ceiling, watching the ceiling fan spin, I notice the little imperfections in the paint, like Iโve seen them a thousand times before*
โTwo.โ *I sit up, feeling the softness of the sheets against my skin. I look at the clock on my nightstand, it reads 9:03 AM in glowing red numbers*
โThree.โ *I turn my head toward the window. The ocean is right there, stretching out into the horizon, the waves crashing, the sunlight beaming through the window*
โFour.โ *I stretch my legs under the blanket, my cat shifts displeased beside me, purring, and I reach out to scratch behind their ears, feeling the warmth of their fur beneath my fingertips*
โFive.โ *I slide out of bed, my feet touching the cool, wooden floor. I hear the faint creak of the floorboards beneath my weight*
โSix.โ *I walk over to the window, press my palm against the glass. Itโs warm from the sun*
โSeven.โ *I glance around the room: the books stacked messily on the desk, the glow of morning light spilling over everything. I can even see the coffee mug I left out the night before because I'm an idiot*
โEight.โ *I look down and adjust my pajamas, running my hands over my body, flexing my toes*
โNine.โ *I run my fingers along the windowsill, feeling the smooth wood beneath my touch, and I think about what I'm going to do that day*
โTen.โ *I reach for my phone, gripping it in my hand, feeling its weight against my palm, before unlocking it and seeing a dozen messages from my friends*
4. Once youโve hit ten, just sit with it. Let yourself marinate in that feeling of already being there, of already having it. Youโre not reaching, youโre not chasing, itโs yours now. Feel the weight of that reality settle into your chest. How do you feel? Happy? Calm? Relieved? Whatever it is, let it flow through you. Own it. Youโre not imagining anymoreโyouโre experiencing.
And thatโs it. Thatโs the whole process. Simple, but powerful, trust me!
I really actually want a lotr dr but being sooo fr I am not about being a part of that plot ๐ญ๐ญ the fellowship is cool and all but Iโm so fine with just never leaving the shire ๐ซถ also struggling to think of a way to script my pookie in? Canโt really see him as a hobbit? ๐ญ

So, my love, as the stars twinkle above and the galaxies spin their endless dance, remember this: no matter where I am, no matter what trials we may face, my love for you will never waver. You are my forever, my always, my everything.
I SHIFTED FOR THE FIRST TIME AFTER ALMOST 5 YEARS!
This is gonna be a long ass post because as the title says, yes, I did shift for the first time on 31/12/24! I finally got to spend some time in my clone wars DR (if only for less than a minute), and if it were 2020 Iโd be calling this a โminishiftโ but letโs be fr itโs 2025.. shifting is shifting.
My method โจ
For a bit of context- I used a method where I focused on getting super relaxed and basically in the void state. I just spent a bit of time doing some calming breathing and turning my attention to relaxing all my muscles and just being chill. Then I pretty much tried to visualise my dr room in as much detail as possible, picturing what it would feel like to touch certain objects around my room, and picturing where each item would be in relation to my body if I were in my dr bed. Like becoming aware of the fact that my datapad is beside me on my desk etc., and opening my awareness to my surroundings as if I were in my dr. It started to give me some mild symptoms as though I was floating and swaying gently, but I honestly didnโt pay any attention to it, and I think that was integral to me actually shifting.
The shiftโจ
In hindsight I am honestly shocked at how easy it was for me to shift. The transition from being in my CR to my DR was completely seamless. I didnโt notice a single thing had changed, as it felt so natural and genuinely like nothing at all. One second I was in my cr bedroom, and the next in my dr bedroom, and I didnโt even notice. In fact, I didnโt even realise I had shifted until the next morning.
But Iโll give you a storytime of what happened in the short time I did shift. Basically, I was half asleep laying on my back, and the environment was very bright around me. I had clearly just woken up so I wasnโt ready to open my eyes yet, but I was moving around a little. I felt the softness of my quilt and mattress, it was like laying on a cloud just like I scripted. The room was cool but not cold, and it felt like the sensation of crawling under a blanket when the room is warm but the bed is cold, idk ๐ญ except it was all a bit cold in a comforting way.
I was thinking about the fact I had to get up to do training that day, and I wasnโt that happy about it. Itโs a bit weird to describe, because I didnโt literally think this, but I had the background knowledge that this training was mandatory training for all Jedi knights, regardless of the fact we had already passed our trials. This wasnโt actually a thought I had, it was just something I knew automatically. When people said you have all your previous memories when you shift they werenโt lying.
Anyway I kept laying there for a few seconds, mainly because I obviously didnโt realise anything was different. For some reason I flung my hand out to the side, and the back of my hand hit the wall a bit roughly. I felt the cold sensation of my hand hitting the marble wall, and a bit of pain in my knuckles from smacking my hand against a hard surface ๐ญ I swiped my hand gently across the marble and I felt how smooth and cold it was, but I didnโt gaf so I let my hand flop back down on the quilt. It was then that I opened my eyes and turned my head to the side a bit, and I got a glimpse of the wall. It was this off-white polished marble, with little specks and swirls of gold/brown speckled through it. I also got a little glimpse at the blanket on top of me, it was plain white with some large squares quilted in. The room was very bright, so I closed my eyes again.
It was at that point that I shifted back to my CR, but I honestly didnโt even realise I had done anything. I opened my eyes again and I was in my cr bedroom, and I literally just rolled over and went to sleep because I didnโt realise what had happened.
Final thoughtsโจ
I could make another long ass post about everything I have realised or learnt from this experience but that is a whole different story (which Iโd be happy to talk about, if anyone wants) but yeah wow! It has honestly made this whole journey feel so worth it. It was for less than a minute, but I feel like all the effort I put in since 2020 has paid off. It doesnโt even matter to me that it wasnโt a โfull shiftโ, I just care that I did it.
And with that, happy new year. And if you havenโt shifted yet, I know 2025 has it in store for you โจ๏ฟผ

โ ๐. sledding ; What does a hang out with you friend group look like? Where do you go? Who is your friend group?
Because thereโs kind of like a war going on a โhang outโ is usually sitting somewhere on the starcruiser on the way back from deployment. Might be something like projecting Mario kart up on the wall and holding a bit of a tournament as a way to relax and have fun, might be sitting in complete silence eating dinner together. Who knows
Sometimes there are opportunities to go out, for example both myself and the clones do get the opportunity to leave the barracks/leave the temple and go out some evenings. Obviously the most popular spot is 79s, but Iโm not a club girl so canโt say I go there all that often.
My friend group consists of 90% clones, 10% other jedi. Think all the most well-known clones and clone wars figures in canon. Rex, Fives, Echo, Jesse, Cody, Anakin, Obi-Wan etc. plus some more favourites like Depa Billaba, Cal Kestis and Trilla Suduri (I made them closer to my age so we can be friends ๐) and the bad batch obviously.

โ ๐. eggnog ; What is some drama going on in your dr?
Iโm not much of a drama enjoyer so there isnโt a lot of it in my dr, certainly not much involving me. But hereโs something: relationships and attachments are forbidden for jedi, yet Iโm one whoโs in a not particularly secret relationship. I mean I try my best to keep it a secret from the jedi council, but what will they even really do if they found out? Banish their best jedi knight? ๐

โ ๐. gingerbread houses ; What does your house look like in your dr? Who do you live with? What is your favorite aspect of your house?
Alrighty so technically I donโt have a house in my dr. But I go between two living spaces, one in the jedi temple on Coruscant, and the other in my Generalโs quarters on the Venator ship.
I donโt really have a solid visual of how my dorm in the temple looks, but itโs a pretty squished shoebox-style room with an attached fresher. I have room for a loft bed and a desk opposite each other, and a built in closet by the entrance. Because Iโm a jedi and all, there is a small space for meditation, which is separated from the rest of the room by a step. It itโs a little wooden alcove attached to a giant floor to ceiling window with a nice view of the upper levels of Coruscant above the clouds. Iโve got a little cushion/pillow on the ground to sit on up there too. My favourite part of the dorm is how Iโve decorated and made it more of my own space. As the Jedi think theyโre prestigious, their architecture reflects it. The walls in this dorm are a strange material, think something with visual similarity to beige marble yet more of the integrity and sensation of steel. Dunno what it is, but it doesnโt matter because Iโve covered 80% of it in various posters and pictures during my more rebellious padawan years.
I donโt live with anyone here, not in the room anyway. The hallway outside is filled with other jedi dorms but there is no expectation to share space, everyone has their own individual dorm and fresher. That being said my Padawan Ezra will sometimes set up camp underneath my loft bed with his sleeping bag and pillows and his stuffed loth cat plushie, which doesnโt bother me too much cause Iโm a heavy sleeper anyway. I donโt often get the opportunity to bring the boyfriend around either.. yknow jedi rules around attachment and stuff. But some rules are made to be broken
The other place of residence I have, which I find myself staying at considerably more frequently than the temple, is my quarters on the venator star destroyer. This I do have a picture of, though I imagine the space to be a little more efficiently utilised than what weโve got here. That empty space in front of the kitchen/cabinetry area would usually hold either a lounge of some sort, or a fold out table to have dinners on. This place is more utilitarian than my temple dorm, so Iโve got an abysmal lack of decor and personal flare in it. A few holo pictures are scattered around, but there isnโt much going on besides that. My favourite part of this living space is the lighting however, it can be switched to any colour but I do usually keep it at a romantic pinky colour ๐
That leads into the last part which is who lives with me there. This room being on my personal(ish) Star destroyer allows a lot more freedom with who I can invite to stay. This is the primary room where I get to spend time with Tech, so whenever Iโm graced by his and the batchโs presence for missions or whatever, this is where we will both sleep. The rest of tbb take the marauder sorry
