ʀᴇᴀʟɪᴛʏ ꜱʜɪꜰᴛɪɴɢ

𝐀 𝐆𝐮𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐓𝐨 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 [ outdated!! ]

This post will be an introduction to scripting - you can also use scripting for manifesting but this post will mainly talk about scripting from a reality shifting point of view. I will start off with some general calcifications for the people who are new to reality shifting itself.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐟𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠?

“Simply put, reality shifting is the movement of your consciousness from one reality to another (...). Think of yourself not as one physical body but as one conscious being that expands over all realities. When you shift, you tune into that consciousness in another reality.” - @astra-nomy

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐀𝐛𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬

DR (desired reality) - The reality you want to shift to. You can have as many DRs as you want.

DR self (desired reality self) - This refers to yourself in your desired reality.

CR (current reality) or OR (original reality) - It’s the reality you’re shifting from to your DRs and back. Basically, the reality you're living in right now.

WR (waiting room) - This is a reality you can make up and use as something like a lobby where you can go to before shifting to your DRs. You don’t need a waiting room but many use it to spend some time there when they want to 'escape' their CR for a bit but also don’t want to go to their DRs.

-> ꜱᴄʀɪᴘᴛɪɴɢ

In the following paragraphs I will explain what scripting is and how to do it. I will also try to give you some ideas for scripting and answer some common questions.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈𝐬 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠?

If you want to shift realities you can write a script to define what you would like to experience in your DR - how you should look like, how you want things to play out or how you want the reality to look like etc. Whatever you script will happen in your DR.

𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐀 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭?

No, not really. Scripting is completely optional and you don’t need a script to shift. As shifting mainly operates on the bases of your subconsciousness, you don’t need to script everything because your subconsciousness already knows what you want - because it's you. It's just that scripting helps most of us with visualizing certain things, organizing our thoughts and committing to our idea of what exactly we want to experience. Reading your script before attempting to shift can also make the process of shifting easier for you.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐃𝐨 𝐈 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐨 𝐊𝐞𝐞𝐩 𝐈𝐧 𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐈 𝐖𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐓𝐨 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭?

Actually, you don’t need to keep anything in mind while scripting. There are no rules on how to do it and there are many different ways to script. Just find a way of scripting that you enjoy.

The format doesn’t matter. You can find yourself a cute notebook and use it for scripting or you can make a digital script.

You don’t need to care about your way of phrasing things. You don’t need to write from a specific perspective. You can write it as if you're creating a character or you can write it from your point of view. Also, you don’t need to write full sentences. You can just write ‘brown hair’ instead of ‘I have brown hair’ or you can just use an emoji that shows someone with brown hair - it really doesn't matter how you do it as long as YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN.

It is not always about writing, you can also use pictures to express what you mean. For example you can make a moodboard or create a file on your phone with pictures representing what you want. Or you can even make a presentation or a short video.

You don’t need to script every detail! The length of your script doesn’t matter! You could just write ‘I have brown hair.’ as the only thing to script and anything else in your DR would still include all the other things you want. I often see people who get anxious when they try to shift because they feel like they haven’t scripted enough - that is totally unreasonable! As I said before, your subconsciousness already knows what you want and making a script is not even necessary to begin with. So please be careful with getting obsessed with making your script ‘perfect’. If you can’t decide on something just leave it open instead of being unhappy with what you scripted- your subconsciousness will fill in all the gaps. Just make it enjoyable for yourself!

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐈𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞 𝐈𝐧 𝐌𝐲 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭?

You can include anything you want! But I will give you some ideas on what to include but just know that they are not necessary.

ꜱʜɪꜰᴛɪɴɢ ᴀꜰꜰɪʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱ:

Here you can write down just normal shifting affirmations. You can also script how you shift like with a certain method or with a certain action like tapping your wrist free times and saying the name of your DR whatever.

ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴅʀ:

You can define how your DR looks like, what the living circumstances are, you can make up new stuff in your DR (especially if you're shifting to a series/movie). You can script that racism or homophobia and stuff like that doesn't exist there or just that everyone is being treated right. If your DR is based on a movie/series you can script that certain events don’t happen and you can make up new events/situationships. You can script certain scenarios you want to happen. Also, some people write down their first shifting moment - when and where they shift to and how they want it to play out. I also saw some people writing down stuff like ‘No one finds my behavior weird the first time a shift’ etc.

ꜱᴀꜰᴇ ᴡᴏʀᴅꜱ/ᴀᴄᴛɪᴏɴꜱ:

A safe word in shifting is a word or action or phrase you can say when you quickly want to go back to your CR or WR! It works instantly and it can be anything you want - many use something weird that you wouldn’t say normally in your daily life but something you can easily remember (something like ‘Hakuna matata’ or ‘Back to the ghetto’ lmao). If you want, you can also script that your safe words will only work when you want it to and/or you can script that you always remember your safe words.

ᴛɪᴍᴇ ʀᴀᴛɪᴏ/ᴛɪᴍᴇ ᴇQᴜɪᴠᴀʟᴇɴᴄᴇ:

Here you define how much time passes in one reality (CR/DR) when you’re in another reality. For example, you could just script that ‘1 Week in your DR equals 30 minutes in your CR’ or that ‘1 year in your DR equals 1 hour in your CR’. Also, you can script that no time passes in your CR when you're in one of your DRs. And the same goes the other way around (how much time passes in your DRs when you’re in your CR). There are some rumors going around that a huge time difference would strain your body once you come back to your CR but that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. You could script that everytime you shift back to your CR you’re well rested and healthy - or something like that.

ʏᴏᴜʀ ᴅʀ ꜱᴇʟꜰ:

You can list personal details (name, age, birth date etc.). You can describe how you look like, what your personality is like, what kind of powers or skills you have, what kind of background you have, your life circumstances, your housing, your family etc.

ɪᴍᴍᴜɴɪᴛʏ/ꜱᴀꜰᴇᴛʏ ᴀꜰꜰɪʀᴍᴀᴛɪᴏɴ:

Really useful is also to script a certain immunity. I know that many people want to shift to certain realities that are a bit dangerous and where you have to fight and stuff so you could script something like ‘I am immune to being attacked/hurt. I am always safe and protected. I am immortal. I am immune poison or dr*gs.’ etc. I would also advise you maybe to script that you are immune to bringing trauma from your DRs to your CR and back or that your mental health stays unaffected. Also, you could think about what you would like to happen in the case of you dying in one of your DRs. I, for example, have scripted that I always wake up in my waiting room once I die in one of my DRs. It’s pretty much up to you what safety affirmation you use and it I guess it also depends on where you're shifting to.

ᴄʜᴀʀᴀᴄᴛᴇʀꜱ ᴀɴᴅ ʀᴇʟᴀᴛɪᴏɴꜱʜɪᴘꜱ:

You can make up new characters in your DR or include people from your CR (like your best friend). You can script their appearance, personality, abilities, your connections with etc. The same goes for characters that are already in your DR, you can change them completely or you can script how you are connected to them, what kind of relationship you have with them or how you get to meet them etc.

ᴍᴇᴍᴏʀɪᴇꜱ:

It could also be interesting for you to think about how you deal with your memories. I saw someone writing down that they forget their CR memories for a certain period of time to really experience life in their DR and then get their memories back at a certain time (for example after they went through the main plot). You can also script that when you’re in your DR that your CR is a distant memory but you’re aware that you need to return to your CR. Regarding your life in your CR: You could script that the memories of your DRs are stored in a library in your Waiting Room or you can script that your DR memories are just like fainted memories (like that of dreams) in your CR - so that it doesn’t affect you too much in your daily CR life. If you have romantic/close relationships with people in your DR, I would recommend to script that you don’t feel these feelings as intense or not at all when you're in your CR (so that you don’t struggle with missing them or get ‘homesick’ in your CR). Another tip from me is that if you have a waiting room, try to shift to your WR first. There you can process the experiences of your DR and try to rest for some time and mentally prepare yourself for your CR life before shifting back to your CR - because many often struggle in their daily CR life after shifting back especially if they stayed in their DR for a long period of time - and you can avoid that if you give yourself enough time in (for example) a waiting room.

ᴏᴛʜᴇʀ:

As there is no limit to what you can script you can also include magical items (magical watch/bag etc) for your DR or stuff like ‘I don’t get my period in my DR.’ to make your life more easier there.

𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬

Again, it’s your choice on how to do it. Here I’ll just list some ideas for inspiration.

notion (it’s pretty famous in the shifting community and you can create your own templates and so on)

google docs

paper notebook

canva

pinterest (for pictures and for creating pinboards)

tumblr (I like creating moodboards like this or this )

picrew (for creating characters or scripting appearances)

artbreeder (also for creating faces and for defining your looks)

powerpoint (for making a presentations)

and many more :)

𝐒𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞

You don’t need to feel bad for what you script. It’s your choice. You can decide what you want to experience. Just keep in mind that you will really LIVE in that reality you scripted. So, don’t underestimate this and stay safe! <3

I hope this post is helpful to you guys. If you have more questions regarding scripting, I will add it to this post! - Just send me your questions. :)

What IS Reality Shifting? (+ Intro!)

Hello! I am Sunny (He/they)! I’ll do my best not to format this like an essay I phoned in at 2 am, but I might slip up, so bear with me.

[If I don’t cover something you’re curious about, feel free to shoot me an ask! I’ll answer anything that I can. Now, without further ado...!]

Reality Shifting (Less commonly referred to as ‘Quantum Jumping’) is the practice of becoming aware of your consciousness in another reality, and ‘moving’ from your Original Reality into your Desired Reality.

The reality that you ‘shift’ to (aka your Desired Reality/DR) can be absolutely anything, from being the exact same your Original Reality but with your bedroom being a different color to a reality where you’re roasting marshmallows with Izuku Midoriya! Regardless, wherever you choose to go, it is equally as real as this reality that you’re currently reading this in.

All that aside, how do you actually attempt shifting? There’s a variety of methods, such as the Julia Method, Raven Method, or a simple guided meditation. For today, however, I will be explaining one of the simplest methods.

Whilst you can shift with intent alone, if you’d like to have something physical to assist you, then the Pillow Method may be what you’re looking for. To perform it, one must write down their shifting script (or even just some shifting affirmations) on a piece of paper and place it under their pillow. And… that’s it! Just go to sleep, and tell yourself that you’re going to wake up in your desired reality.

Woah, but, wait a second, what even goes in a script???

Glad you asked! A script is pretty much just a set of filters or directions for wherever you’re trying to go, but (usually!) formatted in a more wiki-like or narrative fashion (depending.) Here is a breakdown of what a script MIGHT look like: https://www.tumblr.com/sunsetshifting/716606328592809984/how-i-format-my-scripts-with-pictures?source=share

Additionally, whilst the amount of time it takes to shift successfully is varied (taking anywhere from one single attempt to multiple years of on-and-off work), it is still something that ANYONE can do. NOBODY is unable to shift, even if they believe otherwise. Of course, a positive mindset will help you shift faster, though!

For further context, I’ve defined a few terms below~^^

CR = Current Reality and OR = Original Reality

CR/OR are the most popular ways to refer to the reality that you reside(d) in prior to shifting to your Desired Reality (another term I’ll define momentarily.) Though there is arguments to be had about which phrasing is more accurate, both are still generally accepted. To simplify it, the reality that you are currently in as you are reading this is considered your CR/OR.

DR = Desired Reality and IR = Intended Reality

DR/IR are the most popular ways to refer to the reality that you desire to shift to. Again, it’s a matter of opinion whether DR or IR should be used, but both are generally accepted.

WR = Waiting Room

A WR, or a Waiting Room, is a place that some shifters use as a midway point between their OR and their DR. As with any other reality, this place can look any number of ways, but most people tend to script a few aspects consistently, such as: 1) A bedroom and/or place to edit your scripts 2) A butler or friend of some sort (ex. Sebastian Michaelis) 3) A number of doors or other ways to enter their various DRs.

Script

A paper or document laying out what you expect to be present within the DR! Think of it like a roadmap to wherever you’re trying to go, or filters on a search engine (or on AO3.) As a reminder, here’s the example from earlier.

Safe Word

A word that the shifter selects ahead of time that will instantly transfer them back to their Original Reality! (Alternatively, you could script that it brings you to your Waiting Room, as I have. :3c)

Similarly, one could script a ‘safe action’, such as clicking their heels three times.

Symptoms

Symptoms refer to physical or mental side-effects related to shifting. They are NOT necessary to shift! You can shift without having symptoms. That being said, many people do experience them in the form of dizziness, headaches, a feeling of floating, and so on.

Shifting Method

A ‘Shifting Method’ refers to a specific set of steps that someone might follow in order to shift. These can include guided meditations, performing a specific set of steps, and other things like that. There are dozens of methods, with some of the most popular being the Julia Method, the Raven Method, and the No Method.

Clone

‘Clone’ is a non-literal term for the version of your consciousness left behind once you’ve shifted to your desired reality. It is a version of you that continues to exist whilst you’re away, doing all the same things you would regularly do, typically completely unaware that you’ve shifted until you return and merge with the consciousness.

Permashifting

‘Permashifting’ refers to the practice of not returning to your OR after shifting to your DR. It does not mean that you cease to exist in your OR, as your clone will still be present.

Respawning

Similar to ‘Permashifting’, though different in one crucial way! ‘Respawning’ refers to the practice of shifting out of your OR and severing all ties with it, thus disallowing yourself from shifting back. This CANNOT happen by accident, so don’t worry about that!

Blockage

A ‘blockage’ refers to something preventing you from shifting realities. These typically include low confidence, lack of faith, and the like. However, you CAN still shift with blockages! Most people simply find it more difficult.

Affirmations

Positive statements that one repeats to themself to assist with belief in whatever they’re proclaiming. (Examples being ‘I have shifted’, ‘shifting is easy’, and ‘I am in my desired reality.’)

Subliminals

‘Subliminals’ are extremely quiet, nearly inaudible, affirmations, typically played alongside music (with or without lyrics.) They are not necessary, but do assist some people in gaining confidence or comfort in their shifting journey. Be sure to check the comments and make sure that nobody reports negative side-effects, as some subliminals are laced with negative affirmations (though they are a minority.)

Time Ratio

A ‘time ratio’ refers to a ratio set by the shifter that dictates how time in their DR passes in relation to their OR. While you could script that time simply does not pass in your OR whilst you’re ‘away’, most people script a specific (but generous) ratio of relative time passage. Commonly, these will be something along the lines of one week in their DR being equivalent to one hour in their OR.

Shifting Portal

A ‘shifting portal’ is something that one can conjure up within a lucid dream. Typically, this is how people utilize the ‘lucid dream method’ to shift realities. A portal can effectively be anything, from a door to a literal magical portal. The purpose of said portal is to act as a trigger for waking up in one’s Desired Reality. (As well, they are typically more successful if 1. the dream is stable, 2. you have said multiple specific affirmations before walking into it.)

CC = Comfort Character

I feel like most of us understand what a comfort character is, this is just how you shorten it when typing.

Scenario

A specific event or set of events that you have scripted to happen at some point after you’ve arrived in your Desired Reality. (Example, one could script that they and Draco have a date at a carnival and he wins them a prize.)

Important FAQs:

Isn’t reality shifting just lucid dreaming?

No, actually! Reality shifting is an entirely separate action/series of actions when compared to lucid dreaming. When one shifts, they are becoming aware of their consciousness in another reality, and are thusly in control of that body, and generally do not return until they want to return (unless otherwise scripted.) A lucid dream, meanwhile, takes place entirely within one’s own mind, and is not someplace you can stay indefinitely, unlike your DR. (However, you CAN use lucid dreams to trigger a shift via the aforementioned shifting portal/s.)

Isn’t Respawning/Permashifting dangerous? Don’t you have to die to do them?

Not at all! You absolutely DO NOT have to die in this reality to permashift/respawn. As well, it is not selfish to want to respawn or permashift, and is in fact fully understandable. For a more in-depth explanation, I recommend checking out this post, as they go into more detail about it than I am capable: : Respawning: A Full Rundown (tumblr.com)

What if I die in my Desired Reality!?

You’ll be okay. If one were to die in their DR, they would wake up in their OR. I am personally uncertain if you could return to that DR, though I assume that you could script that you somehow came back to life or were reincarnated. Unfortunately, the trauma of dying will still linger, so it is best that you script that you simply cannot die.

Can you move when doing a method?

Yes! Despite what early Shiftok would have you believe, you don’t have to be stiff as a board or in the starfish position or what have you to shift. Some people have even shifted whilst taking a shower!

Am I allowed to make up my own shifting method?

Of course. In fact, it’s usually encouraged! Personalizing a method to yourself really helps you grasp what does and doesn’t work for you!

How long should I try a method before switching it?

Around two to four days is recommended, from what I’ve seen. I also recommend breaks in-between method-based attempts, but they’re not strictly necessary! They just help keep you fresh and not tired. <3

If I shift to an anime, will everything be animated?

This is entirely up to you! Some people script that things appear as they do in this reality, whilst other people choose to script that things appear animated. It is entirely up to your own preference and makes no functional difference.

What if my clone is evil?

Are you evil? If no, then this is not a concern. If yes, then this is still not a concern. Your clone will not do anything that you yourself would not do. Ergo, if you wouldn’t tell your best friend to jump off a bridge, your clone won’t either.

What if I want to commit crimes in my DR, like murder?

My first advice for this is to seek help. The people within your DRs have emotions and feelings the same as you and I, ergo killing someone there is no different from killing someone in your OR.

Is it cheating to date someone in one reality, and then someone else in another?

Nope! The realities are completely separated, and would have existed regardless whether or not you were present to witness them. For all intents and purposes, they are functionally completely divorced from one another. (If this is something you’re still concerned about, however, I recommend scripting that romantic feelings do not carry between desired realities, or that you simply don’t fall in love with anyone except your one [or more] chosen person[s].)

Is it safe?

Shifting is completely safe! You cannot become stuck or unable to shift back. If you are still concerned about such things (perfectly valid feelings for something so new and strange), you can (and SHOULD) script a safe word or safe action to bring you back to your OR or WR immediately. Scripting additional safety measures (such as not being able to die, be kidnapped, etc., etc.) is also highly recommended.

What’s a good resource for more information?

My two primary sources are Reddit and Youtube. I find Youtube to be more helpful (Particularly Shimmey Shay, Cass Relf, and Kristeau!) for motivation, meditations, methods, and the like. Reddit, on the other hand, is typically more helpful for figuring out specific things that you may want to script (typically compiled in huge threads) or finding other people shifting to the same place as you that you may want to speak to (though still be sure to exercise caution when doing so.)

Is TikTok a good source of info for shifting?

Most of the time, no. It’s good for memes and motivation, maybe even the occasional storytime, but not for information. Misinformation is most often spread about shifting through tiktok, and the nasty comments don’t help much either (nor does the frequent drama.) Take everything you hear about shifting on Tiktok with a grain of salt.

Thank you for reading, and happy shifting!

All righty, folks. Bringing back these backgrounds I originally painted back in August 2020(!), only this time it's the version I didn't post with the titles of all six parts of Sahuldeem. Seems like a good way to both look back at where things started...and where they're about to go.

Part Six is a tricky one. I imagine it comes with a lot of expectations, and I might not meet all of those. For instance, it was never my intention to sit down and rewrite the events of the Clone Wars, so it was treated as a montage in my original script (to be fair, I was still imagining a comic adaptation at that point). We already know what happens during the Clone Wars (well, mostly; I do have a few scenes I've either added/expanded upon or retold with a fresh perspective). I, personally, am much more interested in what happens after the crash and before the war, deep in the catacombs of Geonosis.

So, yes: I'm nervously excited to start wrapping up this saga, and I hope there are people out there who are still looking forward to seeing this through with me. I never would have dreamed I'd write something like this, let alone share it, so I'm pleased and immensely grateful that others have also enjoyed it along the way. (reminder that this Master Post exists!)

#Inoni Art #Inoni Writes #Sahuldeem #Star Wars #General Grievous backstory #Qymaen jai Sheelal #backgrounds #painting #fanfic #fun to look back at this art #I think it captures each part nicely #I'd JUST finished scripting the whole thing #yet still don't think I knew the scope of what I was working on #because remember I thought it would be a comic #man I really should post some of the original script to compare sometime #that at the pronunciation guide I always promised #and the clan names/etc

Guys! Writing! For my autistic Wilson fic! Is happening! After many days of brain not working!

Also rip to Wilson in this fic he has to deal with at least two identity crises at once.

#house md #fanfiction #hatecrimes md #james wilson #hilson #fanfic writing #also rip to Wilson's therapist who must gently guide him through these crises #with the patience and care of a math teacher teaching a third grader long division #Except it's explaining to a grown man that not everyone must script each and every one of their social interactions #And that being able to adoringly list nice physical traits of your male bff while only feeling at home with him may be a little bit gay

I like to think that one day, Neil is unable to make a meeting with Ichirou because he’s got a bad cold or something and Jean or Kevin instead must come to Ichirou to assure him that they’re all doing their duty as athletic money makers for his empire. They are freaking terrified, understandably, and as a result, don’t deliver the most eloquent of reports. Ichirou leaves this meeting resolved to never actually get his reports from either of them again, Kevin and/or Jean leave resolved to never be in his presence again, and Neil is informed that he must never get sick again or to simply reschedule the meeting with Ichirou. Neil still has his cold and tries to glare at Kevin or Jean, but poor boy can barely see straight and this intimidation is undercut by the pile of blankets he’s wrapped in (Andrew, heating up a bowl of soup for Neil because Neil fell flat on his face earlier upon trying to get up, finds this conversation ridiculously entertaining. Only Neil can get a mob boss to actually prefer his company and be so efficient that everyone else involved agrees that he’s the only person who can get things done in the preferred manner) (also, Neil did not want to wrap himself in the blankets and would’ve tried to insist he’s fine. Andrew just got tired of hearing his teeth chattering)

Kevin: oh. Hey Neil. So funny you called. Feeling better?

Neil: somewhat. Anything is better than the fever dreams I was having all of yesterday and during the night. I dreamt we were back in college except but the entire team was Nicky.

Kevin: yeesh.

Neil: yep. And then I dreamed that I got traded to the fucking Dolphins. With Freeman in the goal.

Kevin: well dont go putting that image in my head

Neil: yeah sorry. And then, ya know, out of nowhere, I dreamt that Ichirou called me today that he never wants to see your idiot face or hear your idiot voice ever again.

Kevin: ...

Neil: unless there's something you'd like to tell me.

Kevin: I highly doubt he said idiot

Neil: I'M SAYING IDIOT

#aftg #neil: I GAVE YOU A FUCKING SCRIPT #THERE WAS A PRONUNCIATION GUIDE ATTACHED #HOW DID YOU FUCK THIS UP #kevin: im sorry!#neil: youre taking the puma sponsorship #kevin: neil please you cant do this to me

The Netflix adaptation of ATLA kali-ma’d the heart and soul of the animated series then slapped a pretty picture over it and called it good

I adore the casting choices and stylistically, it’s beautifully shot (I love the bending) but man, I really wish the storyline felt stronger

Anyways I might go rewatch the animated series so I can ugly sob over Zuko’s final fight with Azula

#i watched two episodes. i had to stop after sokka and suki kissed… like #what the fuck was THAT #also the acting… i’m gonna blame the script and acting coach bc they just kids but #holy fuck #i think about this and the pjo adaptation and christ #pjo had strange changes and problems with pacing but i’m hoping rick will take that feedback #however with those things in mind it still wasn’t a horrible adaptation whatsoever #it was beautifully shot the actors were guided well and i still enjoyed it #this however is just… something else #elderwisp speaks

How I Format My Scripts (With Pictures!)

Scripts are, for all intents and purposes, the roadmap for your desired/intended reality!

Before I get into the nitty-gritty of things, I have a few things I want you to remember:

You are not CREATING the reality, you’re LOCATING it, so don’t feel bad about scripting things that seem a little overdramatic or ‘wattpad-y’. YOU are going to be the only person who knows that it was anything less than sheer coincidence, so don’t worry about it.

You are able and allowed to change your height, weight, build, gender, whatever. You are NOT obligated to look like your OR self.

You can be as specific or as vague as you want!

As a note, my scripts are modeled after shifting youtuber Cass Relf’s scripts, so for more details and ideas, I recommend watching this video! Things to include in your shifting script! - YouTube) Like her, this scripting explanation is made with Notion (a free software) in mind, but you can use any software you please!

Now that that’s out of the way, we’ll cover the categories of what one might include in their script, as well as display my own ‘Obey Me!’ script as an example!

I enjoy having an overarching page that display all the subpages related to my script, hence, the dedicated ‘Menu’. This is not necessary, I just find it helpful. (Additionally, I find it helps to ‘set the mood’ for the rest of the scripting.) (The icons you choose don’t matter)

Script

This is where you put your main affirmations, as well as instructions that are immediately relevant to when you arrive in your DR. You do NOT have to lay out the rules or lore of your DR here, as there will be a section for that later. This section can be as long or short as you want! Typically, I use this section to dictate where, when, and how I awaken in the DR.

Character Details

This section is self-explanatory in some ways, but deceptively complicated in others! The ‘character details’ section is where one should lay out descriptions of the ‘important’ figures in their DR (including yourself!) These descriptions typically include name, nicknames, age, height, a physical description, a personality description, and a misc. ‘notes’ section (Seen below)

Depending on the content of your DR, you may need to add or remove certain sections for these character pages! For example, in a MHA DR, you might want to include what class (or agency/organization) someone is involved with, or describe their quirk on its own! Don’t be afraid to experiment!

If something is important to include, but doesn’t fit into any of the aforementioned categories, a ‘Notes’ section at the end will be useful for you!

(Special note! If you’re making your own page, I suggest replacing your ‘personality’ section with a ‘backstory’ section, just so you can elaborate on your DR self’s background. As well, I personally put the vast majority of my abilities/interesting notes in the ‘notes’ section. Due to the sheer volume of DRs I have, I’ve found it helpful to create a ‘basics’ page that I can reference across Notion teamspaces/pages. This is not necessary, however, if you’re fine copy/pasting or simply don’t have much overlap between DR selves!)

My ‘Basics’ tab is also split into sections, though all within the same document! The categories are: Appearance/Body, Abilities, Social, Tech-Related, Safety, and Misc.. These are all fairly self-explanatory.

Character Styles

This section isn’t necessary, but it helps to flesh out your DR in your mind. It also adds a good spot to specify the sorts of clothes you want in your closet, or another person’s clothing habits.

Typically, I go on Pinterest to find cute outfits and simply paste photos of them into the page, though there are sometimes canonical sources you can go to for finding photos for people’s outfits!

(Careful on this front for Notion, as you can only paste in so many images before hitting a limit! Same for pages.)

Diary

This section can be used for a variety of things, but I personally use it to catalogue shifting attempts for this specific DR. It is helpful to record what does and does not work for you. Additionally, you can use it to write down what you’re most excited to do in your DR, things you’re scared of in your DR, and so on and so forth.

Visual Inspiration

Arguably one of the most fun sections, ‘visual inspiration’ is where you can put photos or reference images for some of the places you’re planning on visiting! Videos and drawings are also applicable~!

Personally, I split it into a menu page of all the locations and then subpages of each location, but you don’t have to!

(Different angles help to visualize things, but aren’t strictly necessary!)

About My Desired Reality

This is the portion wherein you describe certain aspects of your Desired Reality! You don’t have to explain the entire plot, or even the broad strokes of it, as the multiverse (as well as your subconscious) already know where you want to go. Still, this is a good spot to specify the date once again, specify the specific iteration if you’re shifting to someplace with variations (such as specifying if you’re shifting to the movie or book version of someplace), and other important notes that pertain to the world at large rather than a single character (but don’t count as ‘rules’.)

Additionally, if you want to specify a specific plot you want the DR to follow, you can write that here (I, of course, put it in another sub menu at the bottom.) You can be as vague as ‘it follows the plot of the show’ to explicitly plotting out each ‘episode’ of events.

DR Rules

This is where the basic ‘rules’ of your DR go. This is where most people put their safety precautions, such as stating that they cannot die, that you can shift effortlessly in and out of the DR, and so on and so forth.

You can also put slightly more specific rules surrounding certain characters here (or on their character detail page, it does not matter.)

Scenarios

The final and most fun part of scripting! ‘Scenarios’ are events that you plan to happen in your DR. Unless you remove them, they will eventually occur, so be certain that you truly want whatever you’re scripting. As you could already guess by this point, they can be as vague or specific as you’d like!

WHEW, okay, that was a lot. Thank you for reading till the end! Happy Shifting!
