(the Bitch Who Recommended That Shit To Me Better Count Your Days)

Lana Del Rey released a song called "Henry, come on"?! Excuse me?

"I heard God say, "You were born to be the one

To hold thе hand of the man

Who flies too close to thе sun"

Ok Richard Papen. Hold his hand. Not the Greek mythology reference.

"I'll still be nice to your mom It's not her fault you're leavin'"

Somebody sedate me!!!...

"Do you think I'd really lose it on ya If you did nothin' wrong?"

I'm sensing Camilla?...

Why don't you just push me off a cliff, Lana? You might as well. It's already April.

thinking about how richard papen was so desperate to find somewhere to belong because of the broken family he came from and he was obsessed with the exclusive class and after joining them he started resembling them, picking up their habits and their attitude, all because he wanted a family, to be included, and yet even after he joined them he still remained an outsider up until the very end. “your worst sin is that you have destroyed and betrayed yourself for nothing” is so richard papen

I don’t know what it is but I feel like henry winter has his fingers in every fold of my brain

I can’t escape the man

i love how the secret history already has a relatively small fandom and then there's a massive divide between people saying "fuck henry winter" and the people who want to fuck henry winter

Stranger Things shifting method!

this method can be used for awake or sleep.

***

Firstly, find a good song that gets you worked up or excited (preferably an 80s song- I chose Footloose by Kenny Loggins) and put that on loop somehow. If you want to be extra, you can add affs on top of it. If desired, you could also use a song that reminds you of a certain character! (Or a playlist)

Ok so if you want to before you shift, do some breathing exercises. I like to inhale for 3, hold for 3, then exhale for 3. Try to release all the stress and tension in your body. Keep breathing on beat, at this point it’s ok if you wanna move around a little (or dance-)

This is where the actual method begins. (I took some inspiration from the official stranger things Rockin Robin book-) Try your best to visualize you either

A) Running through the halls of Hawkins High with your favorite character(s)

or

B) The song you chose comes on at homecoming or some type of dance and you dance with your favorite character(s)

If you want to make up your own scenario do that, these are just ideas!! Also it doesn’t have to be a romantic character, you could be Nancy’s age and dance with Dustin platonically like they do in the earlier season. Anyway-

You’re just going to want to really listen to the song. Push the visualizing until it’s realistic (if possible oFc) Really pay attention in the visualization how you are your characters feet and hands move, and what’s happening. What do you hear? Who are you running from, or what’s your thoughts while dancing?

Now you’re gonna affirm like hell while still visualizing as much as humanly possible. Are you singing the song in this scenario? If so, what does your voice sound like? Once again, just try and be there, realistic as possible.

It’s okay if you get distracted during this process, nuerodivergency makes it difficult sometimes -.-

“I am dancing with ____ and it’s ____ (fun, boring, etc.)”

“I am running from ___ with ___ and it’s ___ (exhilarating, impulsive, etc.)”

“My name is ___ and (another feature)”

Non Visualizing Option:

Basically what you’re gonna wanna do is complete the first and second paragraphs, then we’re gonna listen to the song for a second. Clear your thoughts as best you can, and get ready to affirm like crazy. (I hope this doesn’t require too much visuals) Next, we’re gonna affirm about either a friend or a partner- the main character (or one of them) you want to shift for. Describe them. What’s their hair like? Their smell, clothing, music taste, anything? Next, describe yourself. What do you look like or feel like when you’re with them? What makes you guys so good together?

I wann make it very clear that you can forget steps and change stuff. Everyone shifts different bro, stop worrying. It’s okay if you have to repeat a visual or if you want to stop visualizing. Please be safe while shifting and take care of yourself. I love you 💗

Shifting Tips - Pt. 1

I'm going to start posting some reality-shifting tips on my blog. These are tips that help me, and if you want to, you can give them a try as well!

Okay, so, Here It Goes:

My first real tip is to practice meditating. Now, will this make shifting instantly easier? No. Will this make you shift the first time? No. So, what is the point of this tip, you make be asking. I will tell you:

Practicing meditation will make shifting easier in the Long Run.

Remember that there are a couple different components to shifting, and each of these components is a skill that you must learn, much like swimming, painting, or playing an instrument. It is hardly ever the case that someone can do these things first try with no practice (or even low-quality practice).

One of these components is meditation. Getting into a meditative state is a huge first step in shifting in most cases, and for most people, it is also the biggest hurdle.

It is crucial to practice meditation, especially outside of a shifting attempt, especially if it does not come easy to you during a method.

My suggestion is to do a guided meditation at least once a week at first. Then, you can move it to twice or even three times a week. When you practice meditating, it gets easier, because it is a skill. The goal is to build the meditation skill so that when you go to do a method, the first meditation part is easier for you and less of a hassle.

Doing a meditation-heavy shifting method without meditation practice is like trying to do 50 burpees when you can't even do one push-up.

I know this is not what most people want to hear as a shifting tip, but I promise it can help in the long run. I know everyone is different, but in my case as a person with pretty bad ADHD, practicing meditation has made things much easier for me when it comes to shifting.

TL;DR: Practice meditating, and practice meditating outside of a shifting method context.

‘the slow burn will make you insane’ god forbid a woman has hobbies

a small little thought about bunny corcoran because i'm thinking about him right now. i know there's a handful of bunny lovers on this app (myself included), but i find it devastating that, in a way, every interpretation of his character is only that—an interpretation. we will never know who bunny really was because he himself doesn't even know.

there's a line in the book that's really stuck with me, where richard states how the less you know bunny, the more you feel like you do. and that perfectly explains the kind of person bunny is. he doesn't have a defined identity, and so much of him is repressed. he has lived his life the way he thinks he should, not the way he wants. he was never given the choice to pick what he wanted.

that's why he's attached so much of his identity to henry. down to wearing the same glasses he does and changing his major. he wants to be Someone so badly, even if that someone isn't him.
