This Is Actually So Extremely Necessary And Motivating, Where Were You During 2020 Shifttok

this is actually so extremely necessary and motivating, where were you during 2020 shifttok

✶ things i learned from shifting. . . as someone who's shifted.

i , the hardest part is pretending it's hard : shifting is not a herculean task. it's not climbing everest barefoot or decoding the voynich manuscript. it's deciding you're done with the mundane and stepping into the divine. every time you say, "i can't shift," you're just playing a trick on yourself. a bit like insisting you don't know how to breathe until someone reminds you. (spoiler: you do.)

ii , time is a house of mirrors : when you shift, you're not "leaving" this reality. you're just walking down another hallway. it feels linear until you turn, and suddenly you're face-to-face with yourself, or a version of you that's holding a cat and wearing thigh-high boots. time is bendy. it's pliable. it's like clay, in a way. it's an obedient servant if you tell it to be.

iii , belief is your first-class ticket : you don’t need a spell, a potion, or a seven-step guide. you just need belief. conviction is the real magic here. call it delusion if you like. i call it decisive manifesting. and trust me, i've shifted while feeling like a hollow shell of a human. belief doesn’t have to roar.

iv , you can't outrun yourself : shift all you want, but the core of you, the you that laughs too hard, cries too often, and loves too much, comes along for the ride. your dr self isn’t some perfect barbie doll version of you. they're you, but in technicolour. the grass is greener, but you're still the one who's walking barefoot on it.

v , failing is still shifting : every attempt you call a failure is still a step closer to mastering it. you don’t beat yourself up for dreaming weird dreams, do you? so why do it here? your mind’s just warming up, stretching its muscles. let it stumble. even if you "fail," you’re still playing the game, and that counts.

vi , nothing is as serious as it seems : shifting is playful, silly, camp. you’re choosing realities where you’re a pureblood gryffindor or dating a young peter parker!! have fun with it. get deranged. be the girl who giggles when thinking about her dr instead of sulking. make it ridiculous and extravagant. you’re literally bending reality to your will. why not make it a soap opera?

vii , you’re never ‘too much' : the universe doesn’t care if you want to rule a kingdom or live quietly in a cottage by the sea. your desires are never too loud, too big, or too weird. you are expansive. your mind was built for this. ask for it all, then ask for more.

viii , shifting is a love letter to yourself : it’s saying, "i believe in you," over and over, in different fonts, languages, and realities. it’s the grandest way to love yourself, to say you deserve the universe and every parallel one, too.

ix , reality is a suggestion, not a rule : the same way you decide to wear eyeliner and not cry in it, you decide what’s real. you decide the boundaries, the limits, the laws. shift as easily as you breathe because that’s what it is: life, but on your terms.

x , trust the multiverse, and trust yourself : the multiverse knows what it’s doing, but so do you. trust that you’re aligned with everything you’re seeking and that everything you’re seeking is also seeking you. it’s not just about waiting for the stars to align. . . it’s about knowing that you are the one aligning them. believe that the shift is already happening, because it is. all you have to do is show up for it.

now, stop doubting and go.

the heart of shigaraki tomura

i saw many different opinions on shimura tenko vs. shigaraki tomura, and the most are saying that they don’t want tomura to become ‘tenko’ again, because they’re afraid it would invalidate his experience as shigaraki. but the thing is that ‘shigaraki tomura’ is someone who afo created. shigaraki tomura isn’t his own person. ‘perfect’ shigaraki tomura in the way afo envisioned him isn’t fully a person at all - he’s an extension of afo. he’s someone who was moulded and groomed into being what afo wants - a mess of hatred, madness, pain, anger, - someone who doesn’t have a sense of self, afo’s submissive hollow shell to hold and house the man’s conscience. this persona and this name was imposed onto him.

‘but tomura is more than that!’ yeah, he is. you know why? shigaraki wasn’t created from nothing. he may be shigaraki tomura, but the foundation? shimura tenko? he never went anywhere. just like dabi is still touya, tomura is still tenko. but tenko IS a person. he cares for his friends, he’s angry about the injustice of this world, he’s funny, he’s smart, he likes to play videogames, he makes funniest faces, he’s determined, he hates his father and the way his family never protected him, yet he loved them, he feels sick when he kills people, he wants the world to change, he’s someone.

that’s why he screams ‘no’ and that’s why he remembers his childhood home where his own hatred began. because ‘shigaraki tomura’ afo wants isn’t someone who the person with that name really is or wants to be. accepting himself as shimura tenko wouldn’t invalidate anything, it would be finally shaking off afo’s expectations and visions for him and be able to be his own person and choose his own way

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

Valgrace would also be a great statement because Leo is a son oh Hephaestus. Hera's rejected son. A son of Hephaestus dare to date her precious hero?
