Yes You Do

For people on this website who have shifted, I would love to hear your stories and experiences. I haven't shifted myself, at lwast on purpose.

It's a cringy story ngl but it happened way before I even knew what shifting was, but I was super into lucid dreaming. So if anyone knows who markiplier is, you might have heard of darkiplier. I was shamlessly obsessed with him back then 😭. Like it was the kind of obsessed I wanted to get kidnapped by him so I could live my dream life. This was 7th grade maybe? Thank God that was close to six years ago now.

So one night I was sleeping in my floor because I was a maniac and thought the concrete floor in my bedroom was comfortable. In the morning u was woken up by someone picking my head up off of my pillow by my hair! It didn't hurt though. They just pulled my head up and I heard what I belive was supposed to be darkiplier say "it's time to wake up" 😭 of course I didn't listen. I looked, expecting to see someone's feet above my head and there was nothing, so I just went back go sleep.

It was hard to wrap my head around when I woke up. I literally thought it was a dream. I'm pretty sure I was awake, though.

I hate thinking back on my 7th and 8th grade years like, what was wrong with me? But this is when I think I shifted?

Omg I'd love to hear!!!

I genuinely need to talk more about shifting on here because I need more shifting friends and I'm lowkey depressed and want to feel better by getting to my Dr so I can be around my 6'4 military boyfriend who I want to use as a weighted blanket

I'm trying to think about more details for my call of duty dr which is my main Dr.

Things in trying to figure out is which part of England woild I live in? In my Dr I'm from Ireland thoigh my families moved to England when I was around idk between 6-14

I imagine my parents have g a farm in the countryside, and I'm loving in an apartment in a bigger town/city thoigh I know very little about England and would love some help lol

Do you mind sharing what method you use to break down anatomy for drawings? Like how you construct bodies?

Sorry for the super delayed answer 😭 i'll try to be brief!

I start by locating the ribcage, hips, and head's ellipses and their central axis. Then i draw the torso, connecting the hips with the ribcage, and do a rough sketch of how the chest and shoulders should look like.

Then I add the limbs using cylinder like volumes, specifically i do the legs first and then the arms (tip: I do figure drawing and studies every now and then, that helps with visualizing the shapes/volumes in different angles). And lastly, I connect parts like the shoulders with the chest line to do the pectorals, the neck with the shoulders for the trapezius, and add details like fingers, collarbone, face.

A general rule i follow is that an average body (skeleton) is around 8 heads in height and 2 at it's widest points (shoulders/hips), so you can divide the body in halfs, quarters, and eighths. So: chin, chest/armpits, waist, pelvis floor, base of the knee, and feet soles become guides to measure and proportion the body. Elbows align with the waist and wrists with the pelvic floor.

So I may have had a shift last night. Or a mini shift? Honestly I cannot tell.

I thought it was a dream, though in the middle of it, I became super aware of things going on around me. It was like it was in real life, but everything was darker, like my dreams are and kinda monotone.

The beginning of it is very foggy I don't remember much. The layout of the paled I was in was strange so I'm not going to explain that in detail. I was jn my room and I saw Ghosy and captain Price in thus building.

My memory had been wiped apparently, so I couldn't remember Ghost, who is my s/o

I was in my room and was looking around. I found my dog tags. Thought they didn't have my name or my Dr name idk what name it was tbh. It said I was Kia on the back of them which was strange.

I remember wanting to change my clothes and actually doing so, so it was so odd.

hi everyone! so for my first tip for shifting, i’m going to start off with something simple. pls remember that these may not work for everyone, i’m just sharing with what works for me. and also, remember you shouldn’t shift as an escape, but rather to learn and expand your knowledge.

so you might be anxious to shift, let’s say, harry potter, and your attempts haven’t been successful. well, the same thing happened to me. no matter how many times i tried, it just wouldn’t happen.

but then i thought “hm, why don’t i try something easier?” which at first, i really didn’t want to do. i just wanted to get to my dr. but this genuinely helped me after i tried it. i shifted to a field of flowers (with some visual help from pinterest, which i highly recommended). it was easy, calming, and gave me the confidence to shift to harry potter the next week. and guess what? it worked!

tldr: shift to somewhere simple first, like a lake, or a field of flowers. that doesn’t require too much planning (though you should always have a script ready) and doesn’t have a lot of components. instead of jumping into the deep end, wade your way through the shallower parts first :)

- love, a.p.

My mental health has been really bad the past couple months and I feel like it's getting worse tbh. I want to shift. Not to just get rid of it like magic. So I can learn to work though it and heal myself in a safe way with someone I can lean on for support like I don't have here.

Just a tiny rant ig

something to put into your script if you shift: no heartburn / acid reflux

Neurotypical writers giving advice: Be realistic with your goals. Try to outline or write a little every day. Refill the well. Get yourself a cup of tea and write for 30 minutes until the tea is empty. Check in daily with your accountability buddies for the next three to six months.

ADHD writers giving advice: Put on a movie that matches the tone of your novel to kickstart your dopamine and get into hyperfocus, then put a song on loop on noise-cancelling headphones, livestream your writing session so you feel watched and owe someone accountability, and write as much as you can for as long as you can. Don't forget to eat, sleep or drink. Now go write that novel in 5 days.

I wanna see my husband soo bad

My husband being a goopy skeleton mam who feeds off of negativity. Specifically the version of him from the "Reeftale: Call of the Abyss" fanfiction cause why not
