Expecting To Wake Up In Your CR
Okay, granted, not everyone has this problem - but a lot of people carry around this little assumption and expectation to wake up in their current reality again. No matter what they do. You've got your script ready. Your method is comfy and your chosen subliminal slaps. You feel ready and everything is in place. But deep down? Deep down you prepare yourself for your alarm in the morning. Prepare yourself for the same room, the same body, the same boring reality trot. It's like saying to the universe "Surprise me!", but also slipping in a quiet note saying "Please don't. Just copy yesterday". It's not new knowledge that your subconscious is running the show behind the scenes. But what we sometimes forget is that our subconscious picks its believes from us... from our habits, patterns, the things we repeat over and over again, even the ones we are not fully aware of. And since most of us are raised in a world that values logic, linear thinking, the "you only live once" mentality, it's no surprise some of us struggle with seeing any other reality as "just as real". Not your fault, it's just conditioning doing its work. Shifting goes basically against everything you have been taught to expect, so it can feel hard to rewire that believe on the go. You are a bit like a Roomba - just doing your little routines, bumping into some unexpected furniture on your usual way, programmed by years and years of subconscious patterns and habits. Cute, but kinda confused a lot. Doesn't mean you are broken, just shows you are human. What you can do is trying to catch that thought, the expectation of waking up here, before it starts to settle in again. Don't just say "I hope I shift". Hope is passive. Try something like: "I believe it's possible to shift" "I expect to shift" "My CR isn't the default. My DR can be the default too." You subconscious learns best from repetition, dominant believes and a sense of familiarity. So start feeding it those things, instead of doubt disguised as fickle believe. Once you start treating your DR as absolutely inevitable, it becomes harder for your brain to argue with that over time. You're not failing, just learning. And every single time you turn those pesky little thoughts in more productive ones, you are rewiring your believes. That's not small, that is huge! That is taking your power back from just letting things happen. You are basically standing in the doorway to your DR, you just need to find your way to step into it.
Iβm losing my mind
obsessed with the idea of The Losersβ’ going fucking crazy after killing IT the first time. its such a unpopular AU so its super hard to find well written fics about it, but like, imagine the seven of them, realizing how easy it is to kill in derry and get away with it- them shoving bodies down the well in neibolt in a display of dramatic irony, HELLO???
They wouldn't be like actual villains, I think the term for it is "morally grey" they're killing people who deserve it. kids, pets, decent people are off the hook for sure.
but like the last of Henry's goons? absolutely totaled for what they did to ben.
the pervy pharmacist that keeps hitting on Bev? you better BELIEVE they're jumping him behind his own store.
and the grand finale? teaming up and killing Eddies mom. I LIVE FOR ITTTT βΉοΈ
and who would suspect them? they're The Losers FOR A REASON.
hm. hm. maube. maybbee............ yeahs...................
some part of the it fandom is deliberately characterizing stanley as the boring and serious character when that guy is canonically funny will never not be funny to me.
having an exceptional sense of humor, being calm/collected and being funny are completely different things; meaning the things he finds funny is different from the usual 'funny' but that doesn't mean he doesn't joke. this stereotype of him is especially funny when there are multiple occasions where stanley makes losers cry from laughter (and makes eddie playfully shove him/pretend to throw things at him).
stanley doesn't laugh that much at jokes from others because he just doesn't find them funny - he laughs at his own, usually ending with losers looking at him rather confused but 7 times out 10 the thing he says is funny. the most hilarious thing is he doesn't even realize he is funny, because most things he says isn't funny to him. he says them just to say them and then gets laughs. he is the type of person who will say stuff that will keep you laughing for the next 5 minutes and genuinely won't even realize what's funny. it's not that he was serious while saying that but it wasn't a funny joke, at least to him.
i don't know what you think but that guy is funny. even in the first movie where they didn't have that much time he still got that 'that doesn't say much' line in place which got overlooked in the fandom imo.

"proving" shifting through scientific evidence (& philosophic theory)
this post is heavily inspired by @voldyateme on tiktok. i saw her video and decided to do research on my own, and write a detailed post about this topic to make myself understand better. i also would like to mention that some of the claims irene made in her tiktok were wrong (and biased) i also wanted to clear some things up for myself.
fyi: long post ahead. this took me three days to understand and write. i might still be a bit unclear on my understanding of some aspects, but to avoid having to write a whole novel on the subject, i simplified my findings and shortened them by a lot.

john clauser is a physicist who won the nobel peace prize in 2022 for his work on quantum entanglement. his theory confirms that quantum particles can be entangled across vast distances, and that their behaviors are instantly connected, even if they're light years apart.
a very simplified example:
i: you create two entangled particles
ii: you send particle A to tokyo, and particle B to paris
iii: a person in tokyo measures particle A and sees it spinning up, then instantly, meaning instantly, faster than light, the person in paris will know particle B is spinning down
this is simply based on particle A or B's observation, w/o there having to be sent any message or signal between them. they behave as if they're one system - not two separate ones.
the moment you measure one particle, you're instantly aware of the other particle's state.
β relating quantum entanglement to shifting:
okay so now we know that entangled particles act as of they're one system, even through long distances. so, if everything was once connected to the big bang, then on some level, everything may still be entangled. meaning you, your consciousness and other "versions" of yourself in other realities.
this could therefore suggest that we are already connected to all possible versions of ourselves. they exist within a quantum field of potential, and our awareness can shift between these versions by tuning into the version we desire - essentially by choosing a different frequency.
say you're listening to the radio. you know that youβre able to listen to any radio broadcast because there are thousands playing at the same exact time, but you choose which one to listen to, knowing you have the choice to change it to another.
it's the same exact with shifting. you know that there are endless versions of you in existence right this moment - you only have to choose to become aware of your desired self.

john wheeler, another physicist, proved that reality is directly linked to our consciousness and what we observe. it's been demonstrated that particles don't move until they're actually observed. so if we're not observing something, it doesn't have a definite state at all. this is called the "observer effect"
the effect has challenged and in some ways helped disprove einstein's theory of realism. einstein believed that that the physical world exists independently of whether we observe it or not.
example: according to einstein, if a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to observe it, the tree still falls. this is shown to be false on a quantum level. that said, we can't w/ certainty say that the tree does (or doesnβt) exist if no one is perceiving it (confusing, trust me, i know)
wheeler also proved that particles will change their makeup based on our choices and observation. simplified, this means that reality doesn't fully decide its state until it's observed. it can have different outcomes, and our choices affect the past behavior of particles.
β relating the observer effect to shifting:
we know that quantum particles don't take on a definite form or "reality" until they're observed. this implies that our observation plays a direct role in shaping reality - not just by watching, but also deciding. this implies that reality isn't fixed, but fluid, shaped by our decisions, thoughts and observations and means we can "choose" our reality.
quantum physics shows that reality isn't fixed until observed, observation and consciousness do play a key role and that multiple outcomes are possible. so our consciousness focus can be said to be the mechanism that "shifts" us into a desired timeline or reality.

way before quantum physics existed, george berkley, a philosopher in the 1700s argued the idea "to be is to be perceived", which is eerily similar to what scientists are exploring today.
he believed that physical objects don't exist independently of our own perception. so if no one is for example perceiving a tree, then it doesn't exist.
berkeley said that there is no such thing as matter existing on its own w/o a mind to perceive it. BUT! there's a twist. you see, berkley also argued the existence of God being necessary to explain how the world works within his theory of perception and idealism.
okay so, to simplify because it can be really confusing:
i: physical things only exist if they're being perceived.
ii: when humans aren't perceiving things, God is.
iii: the reason why the world keeps existing even when we're not looking is because God is always "watching".
this raises the question: if we're not perceiving something, and the only reason it exists because God is, then how do we know it actually exists when we're not perceiving it?
berkeley responded:
"we know it exists because we can come back and perceive it again, and it behaves consistently"
if you look at a tree, walk away, come back. it's still there. berkeley argued that you assume the tree existed the whole time because when you go back, the tree would still be there, at the exact same spot.
this consistency would therefore be explained by God's continuous perception of it. so even though you didn't perceive it the whole time, the fact that reality is orderly and consistent is reliable "proof" that something (God) kept it there.
critics have argued back that assuming God is perceiving all the time isn't proof that He actually is, so how would we know that?
the answer is: w/o God, things would just pop in and out of existence every time we blink and that doesn't happen. so God is used to explain why the world is consistent and stable even when we're not watching.
you can't personally perceive something that you're not perceiving, but you trust that it's still there when you go back there, because of God.
berkeley's theory is still relevant today because the things he imagined in the 1700s do line up w/ scientific discoveries today and i resonate w/ his theory, so i just had to include it even though Godβs existence isnβt proven. itβs fascinating, really.
β relating georgeβs idealism to reality shifting:
if, like berkeley said, things only exist when they're being perceived, and if reality stays consistent because someone is always perceiving it, then that means perception isn't just passive, it's creative and shapes what exists.
this ties back to shifting beacuse it suggests that your desired reality doesn't need to "appear" in front of you for it to be real - it only needs to be perceived. if you consciously focus on your dr, perceiving it in your mind as real, then by berkeley's logic, it is real, maybe not in the physical sense just yet, but within the field of awareness that gives rise to reality in the first place.
so basically: if reality is perception based, and you're perceiving your dr, then you're giving form to something that exists because you're actively perceiving it, and you are capable of being in that place.

ohhhhhhh the artstyle............. im sick hold me old middle aged reddie....holdme.......
γγγwe were always going home ,
yes, i have shifted, more than ten times, if youβre the sort who counts miracles like matchsticks or notches on a headboard. i am not. i do not tally my miracles like debts to be repaid. they arrive not as triumphs, but as returns. familiar. like a song i almost forgot i knew until i was humming it again, accidentally, under the breath of my dreaming.
i do not care if you believe me. i say that without spite. belief was never a prerequisite for truth. you do not have to clap for the moon to rise, nor bow to the ocean to be pulled under. reality does not ask for applause. it simplyΒ is.
i shifted after four years. four years of thinking maybe i was broken in some exquisite, cosmic way, cracked just wide enough to want, never wide enough toΒ have. four years of collecting every method like seashells, pressing each one to my ear and listening for home. sometimes i heard static. sometimes i heard blood. sometimes i heard nothing at all.Β
there were nights i didn't think i'd live to see morning. i say that with the softest voice possible, not for pity, but because it's true. i don't mean metaphorical dark nights of the soul, i mean the real ones. the kind where your body's still, but your mind is clawing at the walls, begging for a window. the kind where shifting wasn't some spiritual hobby or escapist whim, but a lifeline. a rope thrown into the pit.
i don't know who i would've been if i hadn't believed. not the glowing kind of belief. not the pretty kind. but the cracked, ugly kind. the kind that crawls. the kind that gasps,Β "please, just let me wake up somewhere else."
so when i say i shifted, i don't say it lightly. it wasn't a party trick. it was a resurrection.
quiet. not cinematic. not some thunderclap of fate. it was a shift like how morning happens, slowly, and then all at once. i remember going to sleep in my room, wrapped in some terrible hoodie, the air stale with the smell of forgetting. and then, like a breath i didn't know i'd been holding:Β i am there. not will be. not want to be. not maybe one day.Β i am. right now. here. and there.
it didn't feel like magic. it felt likeΒ choosingΒ god, even if you don't know who god is. like giving yourself permission to walk on water not because it's easy, but because the alternative is drowning.
the assumption wasn't loud. it was a hum. a bassline beneath everything. and the moment i tuned into it, the world bent. not to serve me, but toΒ meet me. like it was always trying to.
this is how i got there: i assumed i was there. i used the law.
i wish i had something more elegant to offer. a potion. a spell. a hundred-counted ritual. i don't. i have only assumption. not the performance of it, but the private, unwavering kind. the kind that does not blink. the kind that plants a flag in the dirt and says, "this is mine, because i said so."
i said i was there. so i was. not overnight. not in a blaze of light. it happened like a thread slipping through the eye of a needle, one slow stitch at a time. i told the air around me that my dr was real. i told the silence. i told the toothbrush in my hand, the toothpaste cap i dropped on the floor, the moth blinking against the bathroom light.
i didn't have to fight for it anymore. i didn't have to prove myself worthy. desire is not a courtroom, and the universe is not a jury. i stoppedΒ begging. i startedΒ being. and slowly, the scaffolding of this reality dissolved.
this wasn't faith. faith is something you carry with trembling hands. this was certainty. this was sitting still long enough for the river to realise it already knew your name. this was recognising that shifting was not a door you unlock with the right key, but aΒ roomΒ you have already lived in. the furniture remembers your weight. the walls still echo your voice.
i shifted because i remembered.
and i kept remembering. even when it felt stupid. even when it hurt. even when the forum girls sighed and the scripting girls cried and the cynics said i was lost in a fantasy. maybe i was. but so is everyone. some people just settle for worse ones.
this is what i know: you can get there too. you are not cursed. you are not exempt. the moment you stop performing belief and start inhabiting it, like a house, like a skin, like an inheritance, you will see.
it is not far. it isΒ next. it isΒ with. it is just beyond the veil of doubt, waiting to be spoken aloud like a name that's always been yours.
you do not have to be special. you do not have to be chosen. you do not need a voice in the sky or a star to fall at your feet. you only need to decide. quietly. daily. like it's brushing your teeth. like it's feeding the dog. like it's the most ordinary miracle in the world.
let it be that simple. let it beΒ thatΒ unremarkable. you were never meant to earn it. only to remember it. only to open your hands and realise they've been holding the key the whole time.
assume. not with fear, but with fondness. not with hunger, but withΒ homecoming.
and if you don't believe yet, pretend. not out of desperation, but out of reverence. act like you are there not because it will trick the world, but because it willΒ tuneΒ you to it. reality doesn't respond to panic. it responds to presence.
so say the toothbrush is yours. say the air smells different. say the cereal tastes sweeter. say the light is warmer. say your name with a little more certainty. you don't need proof. you are the proof.
and do not ask yourselfΒ howΒ again. askΒ when. askΒ what now. askΒ am i ready to walk through the door i've been holding shut with both hands all this time?
because the door is open. the light is on. your seat is warm. your name is carved in the table.
come back.
γwhat's in my marauders dr bag . . packed & ready
hiii hiiii hiiiii this is just a little peek inside my bag from my marauders dr. she's heavy, slightly cursed, probably illegal in at least three wizarding jurisdictions. i've had her since fourth year, she was a gift from my aunt effie. technically it's a charmedΒ handbag (ignore the dior labels, this is the closest one i could find), but she's been through so much she's basically sentient now. anyway. here's whatβs inside. she's messy. she's loved. she's full of secrets and seashells and other girly things. ( p.s., the prettiest top collage ever inspired from this prettiest post ever )
mmhhmmmhhh and she eats. again. forevermore.
I need to get something off.
Guys, do one thing, please, oh my god If you're reading this? Do this NOW.
Sit somewhere, like sit, just sit, and simply let your mind wander PLEASE TRUST ME AND DO IT, don't push it aside saying it's just a silly little other shit hell no I'm serious.
Let your thoughts take over, look at your past, reflect it, and let that one small realization snap in your mind hardcore.
You.
Literally.
Know.
The.
Secret.
To.
Your.
Life.
Oh my god isn't this what people think of? CAN'T YOU SEE? you got it, it's in Your hands so much, you're one minute away from it, one second, REALIZE you're actually getting whatever you want.
Just. Be. Goddamn. Persistent.
I swear this random ass method came up to me back in March where everything changed me for the best, I wanna call it the Click method, I don't know if there's anything similar, but god knows how it can help you.
Summary:
- Sit somewhere
- Let your mind wander
- Look at yourself, your life, reflect your past your present, your future, every small detail on yourself, just everything
- Now just sit there and wait for that realization to click and sit in being FULLY emerged deep and engraved in your mind, that after everything, "you are chosen."
- Feel that? That bliss, that shock? That feeling that "what the fuck have I been doing so far? What the hell did I waste so much time for?"
This guys? This helped me snap my mindset, you don't need days to change the mindset, it's just the click of the realization, try it, seriously try it, and to actually trick your mind you've done it, I suggest tricking yourself (not necessary, but some people like to be logical and back it up with actions), simply tap a part of your body when you realize it, when that thought flows in your mind just as moments ago the thought of "I like the color xyz" had gone by.
It clicks.
Use it as any method, void, manifesting, revising, whatever the fuck you want, this just conjured up in my dream and I already feel how it can help people.
I really feel like tumblrβs fallen down on the job in not properly celebrating this very important holiday
You're allowed to cry, you're allowed to rest, you're allowed to roll in bed and wish to stay there for a minute, you're allowed to stop being productive in some time, you're allowed to take a break from shifting and from everything.
You're allowed to allow your body to calm itself, to understand that the reality is near, nothing of those I mentioned above will tent your life, nothing at all.
Because you know it yourself, you found shifting for a reason, home is always where your heart will be, head on their shoulder, sharing earphones, walking in the rain, finally having that burden off your shoulder.
I'm proud of you ml, you've gone long enough, and let me see you truly get whatever you want, whether it's the void, manifesting or revising something, shifting or anything of sort.
You're valid, and think of how your younger self would feel to know they achieved something their little heart wanted for so long.
Xoxo. Coco
Go shift

Stop procrastinating and self pitying and go shift.
Scrolling mindlessly on tumblr wont make you shift.
Start taking matters into your own hands.
