Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
had a dream last night that wasn’t about my dr but may have just inspired a new one 👀
adding ‘Unsaid Emily’ to my Inheritance Games DR playlist and cackling maniacally (I’m so sorry Grayson baby I love you)
just found out my dr s/o is and/or was an hour away from where I live… what do you mean the love of my life who doesn’t know I exist in this reality is an hOUR AWAY what is he dOING HERE I actually can’t take it I’m shifting right the fuck now I NEED HIM
(edit: I was in shambles writing this okay I mean the actor who plays him is supposedly an hour away and my body did not know how to process that)
I was just talking to my mom about executive dysfunction and how it’s not just for things you don’t want to do (I saw a post on instagram and felt seen… anyways)
The words were out of my mouth and then I just had to stop and stare because— maybe I haven’t shifted because of this. Yes, I want to shift. I know I want to shift. But maybe it’s in the same way I think to myself “oh I want to play that game” or “oh I want to watch that movie” and then simply ✨don’t✨
Maybe that’s what I’m doing with shifting.
Now the question is… how the hell do I stop?
Because this is more than just a video game or a random movie. I want it, I crave it, I ache for it. I feel my drs in my heart and in my soul. I am haunted by the knowledge of what it will be like to love and be loved in my drs— and yet I remain here.
But I will break this godforsaken cycle if it’s the last thing I do because fuck you I want to shift and therefore I will.
god I just want to love him. I want to show him what love is supposed to be like. I want to show him that he doesn’t have to be alone. I want to hold him and comfort him and I want to give him everything he’s ever wanted. I want to spend the rest of my life making sure he is surrounded by love and happiness and oh my god I’m so desperately in love with him please.
yall ever hear a song and go “I want to base an entire dr off these vibes alone” or am I just that insane?
today is a good day— new dr just dropped. here comes the dopamine.
no, I’m not staring at my bedroom wall right now. I’m actually in the middle of training with Dick Grayson. Duh.
I will shift.
I WILL shift.
I will SHIFT.
I WILL SHIFT.
he is so gorgeous who let me script a two year slow burn I actually can’t do this good lawd
another night, another neocitran and a new dr to shift to.
the amount of research I put into establishing the timeline of a dr is astounding— more effort than I ever put into school
there is nothing quite as motivating as a fresh, new dr to script. I am vibrating with excitement I have so many ideas the possibilities are endless I am tHRIVING
crying over a shitty day here but trying to remind myself I am already in my dr is actually diabolical
about to drink some neocitran and knock tf out and wAKE UP IN MY DR LETS GOOOOOOOO
(introducing my drs, kinda)
Alright besties. I’ve never blatantly talked about my drs in detail so consider this a quick little intro to the various drs I intend to spend my time in.
Forgive me for how long this post’s about to be…
I have yet to shift to a dr, but alas the grind never stops. My current main drs include:
Hogwarts Band
Criminal Minds
DC Titans
The Nightmare Before Kissmas (book)
The Inheritance Games (book)
My main main dr is one where I date Spencer Reid but he’s also my uni Professor— I have no explanation for this one okay it heals something in me.
Anyways, let me break these down for ya real simple.
It’s more of a modern day Hogwarts uni type vibe. I’m a fifth year transfer and somehow miraculously start a band with Ginny, George, and Fred. It’s called Mischief Managed. I scripted out the war— just claimed Voldy kicked it when he tried to kill Harry and doesn’t come back because I simply do not want to deal with that. I just want to go to my silly wizard classes and make music with my silly little band.
There is also a two year slow burn with none other than (drum roll please) ✨Theodore Nott✨. Though there was a time it was Fred, but… we learn and we grow, or something.
I have my band’s entire discography sorted from fifth till after seventh year/graduation. Album covers and deluxe editions and all that jazz. I found way too much joy in curating it all specifically. Many of the songs come from the two year slow burn I must endure. I could yap about our discography forever.
I am Penelope Garcia’s little sister and am just joining the BAU after spending time undercover— my lore is absolutely horrific. I usually try and avoid unnecessary trauma. However, have you seen the show? I gotta catch up at this point. Anyways, love interest? Spencer Reid, obviously. He consumes my very soul. I have like— four seperate drs for this man, like my own little AUs. I scripted a lot of precautions and made sure we actually do more consulting than field shit because, again, I just wanna vibe.
It’s in the season 4 era, so 2008. My first case will be the Angel Maker case which is episode 2 of season 4, I believe. I can’t watch that episode now without absolutely losing my marbles.
I won’t go into my lore or how it comes to bite me in the ass, but know I made as non-traumatic as possible.
Now hear me out, okay? I still have my Creative Writing & Publishing degree, but I go back to school for some goofy little Criminal Behavior certificate thing. It’s just a summer semester, so I’m only there from May to mid August.
And Spencer Reid happens to teach half of my classes.
Why did I do this to myself? Look. We all have issues, okay? And in my Criminal Minds dr it’s like season 4 type vibes— this one is like, season 13. And not FBI related. And in some ways… it’s literally just me, with the same life I have here just now I’m back in uni. And I’ll get to have Spencer Reid love me, as the person I am right here right now. And that… will make me cry, thanks.
It’s only four months of devastating yearning and then we’ll live happily ever after. This is one of the only drs I can see myself living an entire life in. Like marriage and kids and growing old and all that shit. I’ve literally picked names out for our three potential children.
I have my own little friend group and it’s the summer so we get to do all sorts of fun things. I get to lounge around campus and read under the sun, or do my homework under a tree— I will finally romanticize studying, for real.
It’s one of my more chill drs, which is also a bonus. Sometimes a girl just wants a regular-ish life.
I love Dick Grayson. I love him. I want him. I need him. Anyways, I have elemental powers in this one which is fun and whimsical. Another one where I’ve said fuck the plot I just wanna be silly— picture DC Titans as a sitcom and that’s basically my dr. Just patrolling and the occasional baddie. I can’t wait to train with Grayson you have no idea I’m literally screaming just thinking about it. Also Gar my beloved I miss my bestie. I think I’m in college in this one too? Which is how I meet Gar and join the squad— I age peeps up, obviously. Dick Grayson love interest, in case you missed it.
Oh, and I have a music career. Gar, Jericho (yes he is well), and I start our own little record label (because Bruce Wayne loves me and funds my silly endeavors) and I’ve got like five albums/eps planned out. Including album covers and everything. I love sorting a Discography.
Not to be confused with the Nightmare Before Christmas, which is entirely different. This one is my pride and joy, honestly. I am so proud of all the little things in this dr. I read the book in December and immediately made a dr because it just utterly devastated and healed bits of my soul. So, you know, the obvious route.
In this one I’m the sister of Coal and Kris Claus, so I’m the Christmas Princess. But I’m also the youngest, so no one gives a fuck about what I do. In most of my drs I still have my Creative Writing & Publishing degree— this one is no exception.
It takes place a year after the book, and Coal & Hex are getting married. On December 13th, which is a Friday. Friday the 13th, in December— it’s literally the most perfect date ever for their Christmas Halloween asses. I get all giddy just thinking about the date yall. We, being me and my brothers and Iris the Easter Princess and best friend of us Christmas hooligans, travel to Halloween for the wedding. Mostly because I want to see that bitch. We get all Christmas in the book, I wanna see what Hex’s home is all about.
My love interest isn’t canon to the books. I’ve made him childhood friends with Hex who has returned from his studies to attend the wedding. His name is Moon. (and his faceclaim is s1 Spencer Reid/MGG I am just a girl okay?)
I’ve also been having dreams about Moon for over a year, ever since I returned to Christmas to help my brothers with their dismantling of the heirarchy bullshit (basically the end of the first book). Because I want a strange weirdly prophetic dream moment, okay? And Moon’s been having the same shit. So when we meet upon our arrival to Halloween— shit ensues.
It’s actually more enemies to lovers but in the sense that we’re enemies because we feel so very much and it’s all very confusing and after a year of being haunted and tormented by these constant dreams— I don’t know man I just need some angst first.
Another baby of mine. I love shifting to books because I feel like there’s so much more to discover than with a show or movie or something. You have no concrete actor or anything you associate with the characters, and everything is almost up to interpretation. It’s fun.
I replace Avery in this dr, obviously. Why shift to not be the main character? Again, less plot more shenanigans. Everyone is aged up, again. I enjoy being my age in all of my drs.
This one isn’t as planned out as I’d like it to be. But Grayson Hawthorne is the love interest. Enemies to lovers, of course. I’m not quite sure what else to yap about for this one. I focus a lot more on my writing career in this one, since being a random billionaire will definitely help with that. And who am I if not a writer?
So that’s those bad boys…
I have a handful of other drs I could talk about… I’m gonna list them all for your perusal.
Fully Scripted:
Hogwarts Academia
Outer Banks
Twilight
The Flash
Sam & Colby
Small town dr (based off the show Ghost Whisperer)
Twitch Streamer (entirely separate from any existing streamer group don’t go getting any ideas)
Summer Lovin’ (I’m rich and live by the beach it’s pretty great)
Sorta Scripted:
Red White & Royal Blue
Stardew Valley
Death Note
Teen Wolf
MCU
Fame dr (but it’s the novel I’m currently writing here being turned into a movie)
Skyrim x The Witcher (this one is so complicated I fear I may never fully capture all my thoughts & ideas)
Batfam (I know little about canon shit but I’m trying)
Unscripted:
Bridgerton
Mystic Messenger
Love & Deepspace
Sky High
Bratz
So that’s me, as a shifter. Just a girl with a long list of places she intends to cause absolute chaos in. I’m always down to talk about any of my drs. Sometimes I get so into them I start making my own outfit collages because of course my style changes in every dr and I need to capture that. I am so very specific it might be my detriment… but oh well at least it’s fun.
This was long asf. If you took the time to read all that… thank you (I’ll cry about it). Consider this a little forehead smooch just for you 💋

scrolling through pinterest online shopping for my dr
I feel like utter death today but you bet I’m using it to shift— why be sick here when I can be sick and taken care of by my s/o? (or just not ill in general but you get it)
nothing about today has felt real. I have done nothing but shovel snow, take a nap, and go to walmart and it all just feels off. I can’t explain it. shit’s wack.
part one
I have a habit of struggling to fall asleep, and with nothing but my thoughts to keep me company at 4am, let us all set sail on this treacherous sea that is the shit storm I call my mind.
It pertains to shifting so bear with me.
I love the movie Coraline, as I’ve mentioned before. And we all know it’s very shifting coded. But I was thinking about all the times Coraline would go to sleep in the other world and wake up back in her original world, except for the one time she let fear win.
After being asked to sew buttons in her eyes, she goes to bed needing to wake up back home. Despite knowing she has done so multiple times without even trying, the second she puts her all into it— the second she is desperate, she fails.
which brings me to this:
While you can be afraid and still manifest or shift, the second you start clinging to the results for dear life is the second you give up your power. Driven by fear, you put more belief into it than yourself. If you truly believe you are in control, then there should be no fear of unwanted results.
Oddly enough, it works the opposite way too. Being afraid of something happening will not guarantee its occurrence. For example, I randomly thought to myself “oh no, what if all my scripts get deleted?” which was followed by “oh no, since I thought it now it’s going to happen all because I assumed.”
But I didn’t assume.
It was a fear, not an assumption. It was an invasive thought, not an assumption. It was a jumpscare, not an assumption.
All this goes to say that when shifting and/or manifesting, we need to let the hell go. Don’t strain for control because that just reaffirms the lack thereof. Chill the eff out and trust yourself, trust your subconscious. They know what’s up.
Hopefully this all made sense.
It is now past 5am.
I am tired.

me and the 1109 edits of the same man saved in my camera roll against the world.
Consider this my introduction post because I haven’t done that yet whoops.
Hi. You can call me Jello. My pronouns are she/they, and I’ve been a shifter for about five years now. I am 22 and discovered shifting a little before I turned 18, but didn’t actively try shifting until the fall of 2020– so yes, I was knee deep in the horrors of shiftok at that point.
I have a degree in Creative Writing and Publishing. It’s kind of cool, being a writer and a shifter. It does make me totally picky about what I script, but it means that the stories I write based off my shifts are gonna be brilliant.
My first ever DR was a One Direction reality (RIP). It was as horrifying as any first script. I have many DRs now, but my mains include Criminal Minds, a Hogwarts one where I am also in a band, and a College Romance type one where I date a professor wait what? I have a bunch more based off other series I love and some based off books. I just started scripting for a reality based off my own novel which is kind of epic.
I have yet to shift to any DR. I may have minishifted once in the sense that I heard my DR but I’ve never opened my eyes anywhere but here. Yes, sounds demotivating as hell. And it was, until I came here. You, shiftblr, have somehow made it all click in my head in a way shiftok could only ever dreamed of. So, thank you.
I think that pretty much sums me up. I would love to yap about any and all my DRs— or really talk about anything. I’ve never really been active in any shifting community so consider this my tentative “hey… how y’all doing?”
Oh, fun fact: I use the same name in about 90% of my DRs. My first name remains the same in all but one DR, and my last name is consistent in all but two? I think? I do that because I think it’s cool, to have this sort of identity that I carry with me throughout my own little multiverse.
Another fun fact: my favourite movie for at least six years of my life has been Coraline. I live and breathe that film. And then suddenly I discovered shifting and it’s just this funny little thing, this silly little connection I find all too intriguing. There are a lot of times where I’ll look back on my life with the knowledge I have now and am hit with this realization that I have been doing this a while, even just in the tiniest of doses, without even knowing it.
Okay, I’ll quit yapping now. Hello and welcome to my page. I don’t know what I’m doing on here but I am enjoying myself immensely.
Jello💖
new dr just dropped except it’s the novel I’m currently writing— go big or go home right?
had a dream about my dr s/o last night… I need him so bad it’s not even funny anymore pLEASE
and if I say I just shifted?
I got up out of my bed just to go piss girl and I swear to god— I was in there just thinking “damn I get to shift tonight— wait, no. I get to shift whenever the hell I want. I could shift right now.” and went about my business like normal.
WHEN I TELL YOU I returned to my room and my drink, which I had sitting on top of a book ON MY BED is now sitting on my end table. I DID NOT PUT IT THERE. It’s been sitting on that book ever since I went and got it— WHY IS IT NOW SUDDENLY ON THE TABLE ????
I shifted idc.
Now it’s time to skedaddle to a dr methinks.
scripting a two year slow burn like I don’t literally foam at the mouth when I see a photo of this man 😶
no love life here because my love life at hogwarts is messy enough 🫠
The hypnagogic state : how to reach it.
The hypnagogic state is a state where we naturally go into before sleeping, a sweet spot moment before sleeping and still being awake, a state where it is so powerful to be able to shift, get in the void, or basically do anything.
Now it requires NOTHING, it only requires one small thing that might sound tricky.
Staying awake long enough for it to come by on it's own, and actually on average it takes 10-5 mins from each person to enter it aware.
Lay flat on your back (not needed, but many results come from laying on the back)
Do. Not. Care, just go with what you usually do to fall asleep, but one thing? You're not falling asleep, you're watching your body fall asleep, that sweet spot where your body is about to fall asleep? That's hypnagogia
Actually don't move, it may give your mind signs you're still not sleeping, now just lay there and try not to sleep while focusing on the blackness behind your eyelids.
You will start seeing flashing images or swirly things or even just flashing lights and imagery, this is the hypnagogia and you managed to reach it in just 10 mins of pretending to be asleep (acc it takes me 4)
Bam, that's the sweet spot, now affirm slowly for the void, or just sense your surroundings for shifting or maybe you can try your shifting method here! This state cannot argue back, you'll be immediately shifting in no time, and slipping in the void is so easy from it.
So really the whole steps is just "lay down, don't move, watch your eyelids, color seen? Hypnagogia reached, method or void procedure done, bam."
I managed to find a post on Reddit on how to keep your body awake, you can try 2 or 3 of them to keep yourself entertained, FULL CREDITS TO THE ONE WHO POSTED IT ON REDDIT (calaie_iscoolio):
"1. Looking in the darkness behind your eyelids
Basically what it says, when you close your eyes, just focus on the darkness until hypnagogic imagery begins to happen i.e. colors, shapes, literally anything that will show. When images begin to show up, do not interact or acknowledge what you are seeing, you can look at it, but don't try to control it and just let the images flow until you feel that the state is induced enough to where it won't disappear because you are "too" awake/aware.
2. "Forearm Up" Method
Another technique that basically helps with people who tend to fall asleep to quickly, basically lay down on your back like usual, lift your hand up in the air where your elbow is resting on your mattress, keep it there and as it slowly falls down that's where you'll begin to fall asleep, it'll drop and basically awake you back up.
I had also seen a shifter mention that they prefer to lay on their stomach and lifting their foot up in the air and basically do the same thing. This technique basically just wakes you back up.
3. Thomas Edison Method
Very similar to the "Forearm Up" Method, basically what Edison had done was he had held a steel ball in his hand, and when he began to fall asleep, the ball will drop and alert Edison awake, another technique to help with people to struggle to stay awake.
4. Imagine Constant Motion
Basically imagining something whether that be an animal or an object constantly moving like a horse galloping, a dogs tail wagging side to side, etc. (Pretty simple, for people who find it much easier to visualize).
5. Tire your body through out the day
During the day, you could do any tasks that would just tire your body out that leads up to your attempt to induce the state, it'll make it much easier for you to get into the state and induce it since your body is already tired enough to relax.
6. Repeating "hypnagogia"
This will mean you have you just repeat the words "hypnagogia" to yourself till you get tired enough and then hypnagogic imagery will eventually appear.
7. Counting
Basically just like regular shifting methods, you could focus on counting up to how much you want to until you begin to get the hypnagogic hallucinations, to keep yourself from falling asleep you could give yourself simple math questions just so it's enough to focus to answer it.
8. Imagining Randomness
Imagine literally anything that isn't related at all, i.e. horse, roof, apple, pen, desk, etc. Visualize and filter through random objects or animals that have no correlation and that will induce the hypnagogic imagery, randomness is key.
9. Focus on breathing
Similar to any shifting method, basically focusing on your breaths is another technique to induce the state. Literally just anything to keep your awareness occupied rather than letting your mind just shut down to go to sleep.
10. Sounds
Listening to anything in your environment, whether that be things happening outside, if it's raining listen to the rain, or if you've got headphones on listen to the music and focus that, keep your focus on the music so you don't fall asleep.
11. "Playing" a song in your head
Not necessarily listening to the song, but imagining the song playing in your head, whether that be your favorite song, if you know how it sounds like, imagine it playing and once you've entered the state, it will naturally play and you'll end up actually hearing the song.
12. Heartbeat
Basically just focus on your heartbeat. Listen to the amount of beats.
These are all the various of techniques you could use, you don't have to stick to one and can basicaally try them out, see which one you feel like works for you and go from there. A tip is also you could pick like 4 or 5 out of these 12 and just filter through the techniques if you can't just stick to one since you get uninterested quickly. (I get bored easily, do I normally do 8, 9, 7 and 4 just so I don't lose interest.)"
Good luck y'all!
Not mine but I screamed when I saw this, thank you pinterest gods
The first one I made was my drself intro (at the time in which I shift). This time it's for my aunt Jupiter ☆
"(blue)" = Earth-19 me adding comments nyehehe
"Heya, kiddo! Did ya miss good ol' Jupiter-? ⯎"
You can call me Taro! (pronounced the same as tarot lmao) I'm one of the founding members of this little thing we call "S" here, along with "princess bubblegum" [with siri] and "brawns-for-brains" over there... and wannabe torero, I guess... (gosh that guy gives me the ick...).
I'm from from over the west side (Mexico) so I'm like... fluent in several languages! ¿Que chido, no? (moved to Japan in like, preteen years?)
I work as an engineer, technician, and those among other things (such as clothing designing and whatnot; I'd say I have a pretty good eye for that (。•̀ᴗ-)✧) Of course, besides my career, I have a strong passion for skateboarding! I've been practicing ever since I was in... what? Junior High? Uy, it's been a while.. (girl you're in your 20s y'aint that old) And because of that I met Kaoru and Kojiro. The wrecks those two were back then, I gotta tell you... well, they still are. (snicker) Recently, a (second) cousin of mine moved here, and I finally got to see my nephews again! Since I knew the younger of them (all of the sudden I sneeze or something lol) was into skateboarding, I thought it'd be cool to bring them here [to "S"]. He seemed to like it, but he was hesitant at the idea of coming often since... I mean it's illegal, hah! But trust, I got them covered. Maybe you'll even get to meet them! Anyhow, I hope to see you more often around here. Why don't you tell me about yourself, hm?
She's the one who made my S outfit and the one who designed Carla for Kaoru (I mean at least in my reality).
The drawing above is mine from a while ago, I really need to make more drawings of her frfr...
Edit: my IDIOT AHH forgot she has a NICKNAME IN S!! :,DDDD MY BAD I EDITED THAT THO!! So sorry y'all, but yes say hi to my aunt
