When someone asks me why I want to permashift I typically say because I want to be with my comfort characters.

But on a deeper level I’d say I want to permashift because of how disgusting this world is towards women. Once I started realizing that literally every man I know has said something misogynistic I realized ya’ll were being for real when saying “most men”. I feel as there is no hope for women here, at least not with the way men are stirring today. Misogyny is so deeply woven through society that I even struggle imagining how life would be without it. I sometimes wish I could go back to being oblivious to this bigotry, I also think this is why a lot of women push back on feminism because it really brings an awareness to one’s self that life isn’t going to treat you the same. The sexualization in particular is something that really upsets me. The way movies and shows always have female nudity, the way women are posed in ads or magazines. It’s like we cannot be just human. The way everyone manages to point their finger to a woman every single time something happens, including women. Misogyny is so bad in our culture that even women are against women. Men’s needs will always be put over women’s needs whether its standards or medically. This is a topic that plagues my mind everyday and gets me incredibly upset, so much so that it’s my biggest motivation to permashift.

shifting be like yeah you can have everything you’ve ever wanted for the rest of your life… how do you get it? just uh. sleep a little funny

the way i am that girl that sits in the corner of the classroom and has a book in her hand at all times in my better cr. oh to be disgustingly well-read .

alex consani is so beautiful i am stealing her face for my smosh dr . you heard me.

　　　how to banish resistance effectively , resistance is not some grand cosmic force, sadly, it’s a habit. so stop. here’s how.

you are not your thoughts. they are not a mirror, not a diagnosis, not proof of failure. they’re just noise. when your brain spits out, 'this isn’t working,' don’t argue, don’t spiral, don’t even take it seriously. let it sit there. watch it fade. because it will. so stop identifying with intrusive thoughts. 

resistance only survives if you start negotiating with it. the second you start dissecting a doubt, you’re trapped in its logic. don’t play along. when you get a thought like 'what if this isn’t working?,' just let it sit there unanswered, like an awkward question in a conversation you’ve already checked out of. give it nothing to work with.

resistance is only as powerful as the attention you give it. redirect your thoughts. immediately. to anything. every time doubt creeps in, think of something else. return to your assumption, your end goal, your desired reality. do it without hesitation. "but what if. ." no. "but i don’t feel. . .," don’t let resistance become the main thing. replace it, move on.

people act like doubt means something. it doesn’t. it’s just a feeling. a chemical reaction in your brain that passes, like hunger, like tiredness, like any other mood. let it exist without letting it define anything. don’t resist it, don’t analyse it. just let it float by like a passing car outside your window. not your car, not your problem. make peace with discomfort. 

assume your power. resistance is a relic of a mindset that no longer serves you. you don’t have to fight it, you don’t have to fix it. you just have to stop believing in it. act like someone who already has what they want, and let resistance dissolve into irrelevance. it was never real to begin with.

stop treating resistance like an enemy to be defeated. it’s not a force, it’s a habit. and habits break the moment you stop giving them power.

some of you guys need to realise there is a difference between your consciousness and your brain

your consciousness is you - your awareness, your essence - but your brain is just the physical organ processing experiences in each reality. when you shift, you’re moving your consciousness into a different version of yourself, one with a different brain shaped by different life experiences. that means some things won’t feel exactly the same. your thought patterns, instincts, even personality might be different because they were formed by a different life. maybe a food you dislike here is your favorite there, or a skill you struggle with now comes naturally.

“when i first shift i’m gonna be so freaked out!” well, no. the moment you shift, your consciousness seamlessly integrates into the brain of that reality, making it feel completely natural. It won’t feel like some sudden, jarring experience; it’ll just feel like you’ve always been there, like a natural continuation of your life in that reality.

“i’m gonna be so awkward around my friends at first” nope. there’s nothing to ‘get used to’ because your brain in that reality already knows them. their mannerisms, inside jokes, and history with you will feel completely natural - just like any other day speaking to your friends.

so lets cut out all of the ‘omg i met them and they realised something was off’ or ‘omg i almost had a panic attack when i first shifted i was so shocked’ because that’s just not how it works. there’s no dramatic reveal, no awkward adjustment period. you’re simply there, living as if you always have been.

little shifting motivation if you will but as long as you keep persisting the physical shift can literally happen at any second

you could be shitting then bam youre in the middle of a fucking zombie apocalypse...

CLEAR BLOOM – ReShade for TS4 by amoebae

Clear Bloom was initially created to take advantage of my Full Bloom MultiLUT atlas, and to provide a clear and colourful, but soft, preset that looks good in all worlds.

Album of screenshots using Clear Bloom.

Since the release of Seasons, it is quite difficult to create stylised ReShade presets that look good at all times in all worlds in all weathers, because the lighting can vary so dramatically.

Clear Bloom is intended to be a hands-on preset. I have set up quite a few different effects that can be turned on or off in different locations to get the most out of just one preset. If you don’t like opening the ReShade GUI and turning effects on and off (or using the provided keybinds) this may not be for you.

A list of tips & tricks on how to use Clear Bloom is included in the download in a Read Me file. 

The most important thing to note is that there are 4 LUTs from the Full Bloom MultiLUT atlas that I have used in my screenshots and built the preset around. They are: Capella, Catria, Gorgon, and mPhantom. I list some examples of which I prefer in which world in the Read Me file, but you can of course experiment and use any you like.

THINGS TO DOWNLOAD

amoebae - Clear Bloom ReShade (includes preset ini file, as well as several modified or unavailable shaders)

ReShade 3.4.1

Official Shaders for ReShade 3.4.1

qUINT Shaders for ReShade 3.4.1

INSTALLATION

Please follow these steps precisely in this order (note: if you already have ReShade 3.4.1 installed you can skip to step 3):

Install ReShade 3.4.1 by running the ReShade_Setup_3.4.1.exe and following the instructions. Say ‘Yes’ to download the current shaders so it sets up the correct paths for you (we will overwrite them with the shaders for 3.4.1 in the next step)

Place the reshade-shaders folder from the main 3.4.1 shaders you downloaded above

Place the Shaders folder from the qUINT shaders you downloaded above into your reshade-shaders folder that is now in your Bin folder

Place the reshade-shaders folders from my Clear Bloom download into your Bin folder

Place amoe - Clear Bloom.ini in your Bin folder

Say ‘Yes’ whenever prompted to merge any folders and replace any files (some are modified versions of official shaders, which is why you need to install in this order).

If you have any problems, either with installation or using Clear Bloom, please let me know via Ask or Message. 

If you see an error regarding the MagicBloom shader, go into your reshade-shaders>Shaders folder and delete it because Clear Bloom doesn’t use it.

I would love to see your screenshots using Clear Bloom, so feel free to tag me @pictureamoebae. 

I steal so many plot points for my scripts from sitcoms I‘m scared that at some point I‘ll hear a laughing track in my DR.
