Let go of other people’s opinions and expectations. Enjoy writing. Enjoy the process. Enjoy this intimate connection with your imagination. Write what you want. Write a story that sets your soul on fire.

It's always "If this first draft isn't perfect I will literally die." or "Hahaha, I don't give a fuck anymore. Typos. Grammatical errors. Yeeet."

There is nothing in between.

me: *calls myself a writer*

also me: *doesn't write anything*

everyone else:

rereading my own writing is just a constant fluctuation between "damn, girl, you wrote this? (affectionate)" and "damn, girl, you wrote this? (derogatory)"

why do ships hit so much harder when they aren't explicitly canon. why do i choose homoerotic subtext over genuine representation every single time

SELF DISCIPLINE WHILE MANIFESTING

*＊✿❀ *＊✿❀ *＊✿❀ *＊✿❀ *＊✿❀ *＊✿❀

Ive noticed that a lot of people on here do not have self discipline and that is why they fail. I also did not have self discipline and that is why i was frustrated all the time.

Here is the cycle that i went through:

I wanted something, so i declared that i had it. I felt like i had it. And i was finally in the sabbath. I knew it was mine no matter what. Then after a few days id go on tumblr and read every post and ask, then id read neville. I doubted myself. After successfully reaching the sabbath id start to doubt myself again. “Am i doing something wrong?” “Am i even in the sabbath” “do i truly know?”

but if i had simply persisted i would have gotten my desire. I realized this and changed my ways and soon enough i got what i wanted.

Here are some things that you may be doing that you should probably stop.

1. Over consuming info the moment you get doubts

2. “Restarting” every single day

3. Feeling like you are doing something wrong

4. Complaining after a couple days of not seeing it

Here is what you should do.

The MOMENT you get a doubt or you get impatient you shut yourself up and remind yourself you have it. Manifesting is literally just reminding yourself that you have what you want. Do not give up. Fucking delete tumblr if you feel like you have to. If you have self control then you dont have to. Write down your doubts to get them out of your head OR simply just dont acknowledge them. DISCIPLINE YOURSELF GOD DAMMIT. STOP OVER CONSUMING WHEN YOU GET DOUBTS. STOP REREADING THE SAME POST OVER AND IVER. PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER. YOU KNOW THE ANSWERS!!! YOU FUCKING KNOW THE ANSWERS DONT LIE TO ME. be doers of the world not hearers. STOP RUNNING TO BLOGS EVERYTIME U GET A DOUBT YOU LITERALLY KNOW THE ANSWER TO EVERY QUESTION.

I want you to get a notebook RIGHT NOW. Well call it ur answer book. Every-time u feel the need to run to a blog and ask smth WRITE THAT QUESTION DOWN AND ANSWER IT YOURSELF. YOU KNOW THE ANSWERS BRUH.

I. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Introduction/ What is Self Concept

This is genuinely one of if not the most important topic you’ll ever educate yourself on in regards to the law of assumption so I’m gonna need your full, undivided attention. Okay? Let’s start.

Some of the most frequently asked questions I receive as a law of assumption blog are always: How can I manifest instantly? How can I know my desires are coming? How can I feel like my manifestation is mine? How can I feel it real/know it’s coming? Two words: Self Concept.

Self concept is how you see yourself in relation to the world and how you see the world in relation to you. What does that mean? Let me explain.

How you see yourself in relation to the world - who you think you are and established notions that have been cultivated through your upbringing, how secure you feel about yourself and how that’s exhibited as you interact with others as well as how you carry yourself on a day-to-day basis

How you see the world in relation to you - what you think others think about you and how you expect people to treat you, the beliefs you have about the world you live in and how they manifest into your life experiences

The assumptions you have carried up until this point have been shaped by your surroundings and life experiences. If you were bullied growing up you may have convinced yourself that you’re not good looking, not smart and not deserving of good things or perhaps you think the world is nothing but suffering and bad things are always happening to you. Maybe you’ve had several bad experiences in life which you fixated on and consequently adapted the “I’m gonna expect the worst case scenario to happen so in the chance it does I won’t feel disappointed”. Since our 3D is shaped by our assumptions they will inevitably manifest. You’ve had thoughts running on autopilot about yourself and your world that you’ve accepted as truths. By working on your self concept you are essentially throwing out an nonserving mindset and replacing it with a more favorable, practical and fruitful one.

When you have a good self concept, every facet of manifesting will fall into place, you’ll feel much more centered mentally and life simply becomes better! The world around you is a mirror of the world within you and it will inevitably reflect back to you what you think about yourself and what you think about your world.

“Consciousness is the one and only reality. We are incapable of seeing other than the contents of our own consciousness.” - No One To Change But Self

Your self concept is the key to unlocking all of your desires. Literally. The relevance of a strong self concept within the law of assumption is imperative because when you know you are God, you know you can do and have whatever you want and there’s nothing in this world that is out of your reach. When you acquire this sense of power, you will be devoid of doubts and setbacks and your desires will come to you with ease! Don’t believe me? Take a look at all of the people who have acquired results as a direct cause of investing in their self concept

II. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Advantages of investing in your self concept

Self concept is so exciting to work on because it’ll help you embody your unlimited potential! When you work on your self concept you will no longer deal with:

Victim mentality - Instead of seeing yourself as someone who always has bad things constantly happen to them you’ll see yourself as THE one on the pedestal, the one who is loved and respected and admired, You hold yourself accountable for your life and what goes on around it.

Sᴛʀᴏɴɢ ᴅɪsᴄʟᴀɪᴍᴇʀ: Aɴʏ ᴅɪsᴄᴜssɪᴏɴs ʀᴇɢᴀʀᴅɪɴɢ ᴇɪʏᴘᴏ, ᴠɪᴄᴛɪᴍ ᴍᴇɴᴛᴀʟɪᴛʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴍᴀɴɪꜰᴇsᴛɪɴɢ ᴀʟʟ ᴛʜɪɴɢs ɢᴏᴏᴅ ʙᴀᴅ ᴀɴᴅ ɪɴᴅɪꜰꜰᴇʀᴇɴᴛ ᴀʙsᴏʟᴜᴛᴇʟʏ ᴅᴏ ɴᴏᴛ ᴇᴠᴇʀ ɪɴᴄʟᴜᴅᴇ ɪɴsᴛᴀɴᴄᴇs ᴏꜰ ᴛʀᴀᴜᴍᴀ ᴏʀ ᴀʙᴜsᴇ ᴏꜰ ᴀɴʏ ᴋɪɴᴅ.

“Aware of what your senses and reason dictate, you may believe that you are limited, unwanted, ignored, and mistreated; and your world confirms your belief in your imaginal activity. And if you do not know that your awareness is causing this mistreatment, you will blame everyone but yourself; yet I tell you the only cause of the phenomena of life is an imaginal activity. There is no other cause.” - Believe It In

Wishful thinking - You know how you’ve always wanted to be this or do that? You can! Or how you always wanted to play the guitar? You can! Date your celebrity crush? Doable! Look exactly like Jennie? No problem! Study abroad in your dream ivy league university? Yup! Even with a terrible GPA? Even with a terrible GPA! Nothinggggg is out of reach and when I say that I’m dead serious! You no longer need to think about how nice it would be if you could travel, draw, sing, dance whatever it is it can be yours!

Regrets - If you’re someone who resents the past for any reason because you feel like you didn’t have a great high school experience or because you missed out on a huge opportunity let me just say… It means nothing. Seriously, you can revise, you can time travel back to the past and relive it as you would have liked, whatever it is now that you know just how powerful you are as God you realize that resentment and regret don’t need to be an issue anymore! As I will repeat multiple times in this post you are in control of every single aspect of your reality. Past, present and future. Time isn’t real and whatever it is you feel like you missed out on you can have it, you can do it, you can be it.

Insecurities and jealousy - Gone are the days of you seeing some girl on Instagram you want to look like. No more wishing you could also be as artistically gifted like that person on TikTok. Bye bye to desperately wishing you could achieve your goals. Who cares whatever x person is doing, where they’re vacationing at or who they’re dating. You can have it all too!

Being treated poorly - If you assume that the people around you often screw you over, leave you, lie to you and so on, that will be exactly what you experience. With a good self concept, you will be treated with love and respect by others because you’ll come to understand that since the people in your reality have no free will, you can determine how they see you and how they behave with you!

Desires on the pedestal - When your desire is on a pedestal it means that you either see it as above you, out of reach or as something you don’t deserve. Whatever it is, know that you CAN have it and you DO deserve it. Nothing is on a pedestal when you realize just how easily you can attain it. There is no such thing as a “big” or “small” manifestation. Manifesting a $47 million mansion in Beverly Hills is just as easy as manifesting a Costco hot dog with ketchup. I don’t care what it is or how “hard” it would be for the average person to acquire. Just say the word.

Impatience - A LOT of y’all struggle with this and I understand. You want your desires NOW and you are DONE waiting. What if I told you that it is absolutely up to you when you get your desires. Yes. You can determine how long it takes, whether it’s a month, a week or a minute. You get to decide that and before you ask me how the short answer is you need to believe that you can. How can you believe that you can? Through self concept!

III. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You are God

“I urge you not to limit yourself to a little body of flesh and blood, for you are spirit. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, so one day you must take it off. And he who takes it off is immortal. He is your own wonderful human imagination who is God, the Father of all life. When you learn to live this way, life becomes so exciting. Your days are full and you are never alone...I close my eyes and travel the world…It expands me and makes me become more aware of the infinite being that I really am.” - Brazen Impudence

When I say you’re God I mean it literally. It’s not a figure of speech baby, you ARE GOD. You are powerful, divine and limitless. You can manifest whateeeeever the hell you want and nothing is out of reach for you. It means that your desires are inevitable because nothing can interfere with the commandment of God. If you need further context for the God thing stop and think for a second about what God cannot do... Nothing. Because God is omnipotent. God can do ANYTHING, God can HAVE anything and God can BE anything. There are NO limits to what you can do!

Nonchalance - (of a person or manner) feeling or appearing casually calm and relaxed; not displaying anxiety, interest, or enthusiasm. When you know you’re God, you’re always feeling calm and relaxed because manifesting something is as easy as deciding that it’s yours.

No more surrendering your power to external sources, okay? - As God, YOU are the one in control of everything around you. Cancel that tarot appointment, delete Co—Star and The Pattern, they do not define you nor do they get to dictate your life in any way. YOU get to decide who you are and what goes on in your life. The future is not predetermined and neither is your personality. External sources are not necessary. Think of it as hiring a tutor for your mother tongue… very unnecessary and very silly. Why would you seek something else to help you on something you can do yourself?

It is logical for God to do the illogical - To label anything as "impossible" is to severely discredit yourself. Whether it’s having bright purple eyes, bringing back someone who’s passed away, breathing underwater, becoming immortal, I could go on but you get it. Who cares what it is or how unrealistic it sounds. You can have it because you are God. And before you hit me with “if that’s true then why aren’t there success stories?” First of all, not everyone rushes to the internet to brag about what they’ve manifested. Second of all, just because there is no success story out there that does not mean you cannot do it yourself. What’s stopping you from being the first success story?

Limiting beliefs ❀ - A limiting belief is a belief that impedes you from manifesting your desires. If it sounds dumb, requires a lot of work and stop you from living your dream life it is a limiting belief. Limiting beliefs will cease to exist as you work on self concept because the more you start to pick up on the fact that you’re God you’ll soon realize that you are absolutely limitless. You can have anything and everything you want.

To list a few:

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎You can’t always get what you want

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Life is not always fair

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎The one that got away

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Once in a lifetime

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Fate/Destiny

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎You can’t change the past

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎You have to work hard for what you want

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Everything happens for a reason

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Not everyone will like you.

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎If it’s meant to be, it will be/Divine timing

These are all beliefs you can let go of once and for all because God has no limits… so these are not applicable to you.

Circumstances don’t matter - I don’t care what’s going on or what’s going on. Circumstances do not matter. In the slightest. You can manifest becoming a billionaire despite being dirt poor. You can manifest your specific person even if their wedding is next week. You can manifest the scholarship even though you’re failing every subject. Whatever it is, circumstances absolutely do not matter in the slightest and I cannot emphasize this enoughhhh like seriously if you’re limitless it doesn’t make sense to have limits whatsoever…

You control the details - Since you’re God you can pretty much dictate how a circumstance plays out. When you know this, you realize that there are a multitude of ways to handle an unfavorable situation. Let’s suppose you and your best friend who’s shown their true toxic colors had the worst fight ever and you both decided to no longer be friends. Let’s consider what you, as God, can do about the situation:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ manifest a sincere apology

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ revise never having had that fight

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ manifest them having a personality change

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ simply manifest a new best friend.

“Are you really convinced that Jesus Christ is in you? Have you tested him? If you have and are still not sure, then you have failed the test… I tell you that Jesus Christ is your own wonderful human imagination, who is the eternal creative power of God. If you do not know that, you do not know Jesus Christ!” - God’s Creative Power

IV. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ What does an ideal self concept look like?

When you’re manifesting, there are no backups,There are no what ifs. There’s just you and your desire. Period. Circumstances are absolutely irrelevant and you don’t resort to “backup plans” and speaking of backup plans…

Elle Woods as a self concept model ❀ - Let’s talk about one of my favorite self concept icons Miss Elle Woods for a bit, specifically that scene in Legally Blonde where she sets her heart on going to Harvard law school despite the fact that her qualifications were a bit iffy. When she met with an advisor, they suggested she have some backups upon going through her transcript. Did Elle let that discourage her from applying anyway? Did she listen to her and go “hmm, maybe she’s right I should pick some backups.” Nope. She said “I don’t need backups, I’m going to Harvard”. You know what happened? She went to Harvard. Even though her application wasn’t the most suitable for law school as a fashion merchandising student, even though she was initially struggling when studying. Even with the circumstances not being in her favor, Elle persisted and got in because she didn’t let rejection be an option.

What can we learn from Elle?

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Know what you want and be brazenly impudent

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Don’t take no for an answer

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Pay no mind to unfavorable circumstances, if any

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎Approach your desires with the confidence and certainty that they’re yours the moment you claim them, because they are!

Experiencing life with a strong and affirmative self concept is like viewing a catalogue of absolutely anything you can have for yourself. Scrolling through tumblr and see your dream face and body? You can look like that. Inspired by your comfort character’s personality? You can be just like them. An angelic singing voice like your favorite artist? You can have it. Obsessed with the latest Versace collection? You can own it. You watched a K-Drama with the most dreamy romantic love story you’ve ever heard of? You can experience that. Your world famous celebrity crush? You can date them. You can have anything you lay your eyes on. Nothing is off limits ❀

The thought process you should be having should look something like this:

“I can have whatever I want. Nothing is out of reach for me. That can be me too, there’s no need for me to be jealous. I know that circumstances do not matter when it comes to my desires and I do not need to lift a finger to manifest. I don’t need to freak out over not having something when I know it’s mine the moment I say it is.”

Pay attention to the thoughts you have daily and what you think instinctively when it comes to something you want. It may take some time, but soon enough you’ll let go of the lacking mentality and gradually acquire the knowing mentality. When you do, you will feel closer to your desires and see them as something you can obtain rather than something you could.

I hope I get the job → I’m getting the job

If he asks me out → When he asks me out

I wish I could do that → I can do that too

I want to look just like them → They look just like me

V. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ How to acquire an excellent self concept

Use your favorite manifesting method - Manifesting is not a one size fits all! I really suggest you tryout different methods and see which one you like most

Command your subconscious mind

The easiest and quickest method. Command your subconscious mind to give you the best self concept ever! Do it once and know that it’s yours.

Use the State Akin To Sleep ❀

You can try the lullaby method and affirm “I have an excellent self concept” over and over again until you fall asleep. Or you can always try vaunting, imagine yourself bragging (emphasis on bragging) to a friend about how you have a brand new self concept and it’s successfully given you your every desire.

Visualize

I want you to imagine yourself as the best possible version of you. You’re someone who always gets what they want, who excels at everything, manifests effortly, who’s the center of attention everywhere they go, nothing feels out of reach for you, you live such a happy and fulfilled life because you never have to deal with failure, rejection, stress or sadness ever again.

Know - The other easiest and fastest method is just knowing. If you dwell in knowing that you have a good self concept and you naturally embody that it’ll quickly harden into fact

Affirm - I like to stick to five affirmations or less because it’s easier for me to remember them, but you can have 2157 affirmations for all I care. Make affirming fun for self concept! It should not feel like you’re feeding a newborn and you’re forcing yourself to do that once every few hours. Please do not make it a job. Amp up your affirmations or do whatever else necessary so it doesn’t feel like you’re affirming robotically. Remember, state your affirmations as FACTS. Don’t just read through them once and call it a day. Embody them, feel them, acknowledge them. It’s okay if you don’t actually believe the affirmation itself, just keep affirming because eventually they will harden into fact!

Vaunting ❀ - My absolute favorite way to affirm. If you don’t know what vaunting means, it’s literally just bragging! This method is perfect if you struggle to focus while affirming and if you’re not sure how to affirm in a way that doesn’t come off dull and boring. When I was vaunting I would script and go on tangents about how I’m God and I can do all these different things and because I love you all so much I went ahead and wrote out a little self concept vaunt example:

My life has been so wonderful lately! Everything always works out in my favor, I always get what I want and whatever I say goes! Every aspect of my life is ideal because all of my desires have been fulfilled. I am the one who has it all and I am living the life of my dreams. You know why? Because I literally have the best self concept ever. I know for a fact that I am the architect of my life and the world around me is my own ideal creation. I’m not even impatient anymore because I know that whatever I want is mine the moment I say it is. Manifesting is the easiest thing in the world for me to do. Because I am God, I know for a fact that I manifest instantly, perfectly and without fail every single time.

When to affirm

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ During the State Akin To Sleep - The first 30 minutes after waking up and right before you go to bed

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Anytime you think of yourself or your desires

A few self concept affirmations to choose from:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Whatever I want is mine the moment I say it is

VI. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Maintaining your self concept

It’s so easy to come on Tumblr and feel powerful after reading a single post only for you to go back to your day-to-day routine and that power wears off and you start to feel average again, so here are a few tricks that helped me maintain my self concept.

Read Neville - What really truly helped cultivate and maintain my self concept was reading Neville. I would go days without reading his lectures and my self concept would shrivel like a prune and I noticed when I was most consistent in reading and listening to what he said I felt sooooo much better and reassured. Indulging yourself in Neville’s work will have you feeling and KNOWING that you are God. His books and lectures are FILLED with success stories of people who’ve done what would’ve otherwise been considered impossible!. I cannot emphasize enough the importance of reading Neville when indulging in the law of assumption, especially as a beginner. He will make you feel SO powerful and your self concept will skyrocket! Neville’s work is a good way to keep educating yourself about the law of assumption as well as to continue reminding of the success that comes with applying the law.

Any Neville lecture will do because his diction is impeccable and so motivating! There aren’t any books nor lectures that specifically focus on self concept since many of the principles of the law are discussed across many of his lectures briefly. However, any lecture with the words “God”, “I” or “I am” will touch on self concept for sure. Don’t forget the ones i’ve repetitively quoted as well. Here are a few great ones:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ No One To Change But Self

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ God’s Creative Power

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Your Faith Is Your Fortune

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ At Your Command

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ God Became Man

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Brazen Impudence

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I Am The Lord

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ The Law and The Promise

Read success stories - I think this is slightly underrated but also a bit of an obvious one. I love reading success stories because I get to see what I can manifest too and Neville's work is filled with them! Below are 160 stories from the wonderful Angel’s page.

85 success stories from my page using my advice

75 success stories from my page using my advice

Mental diet - Mental diets are great and I love them so much. This is what helped me to keep my new mentality in check. Be selective as hell with what gets your attention and what’s worth thinking about. When you indulge in a mental diet you’ll learn to become more aware of the thoughts you are having as you go out into the world. Have a bad thought? Correct yourself immediately but also don’t drive yourself crazy doing this. You don’t have to FLIP EVERY SINGLE THOUGHT you have. We have about 6,000 thoughts a day, so… This could take some practice, so start slow and you’ll get the hang of it little by little.

Manifest “small” things - This one is also a no brainer because why wouldn't you be trying it out? Here are some little things you can manifest:

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎the saturn emoji 🪐

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎a purple butterfly

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎a message that says ily

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎the number 555

✧ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎an orchid

As you manifest all of these successfully you’ll become more and more certain about your capacity!

Use a notebook - This is a great little habit you can also use to track what you’ve successfully manifested as well as to point out the changes you’re starting to see in your life. If you have tangible evidence of the progress you’re making it’ll only encourage yourself more and more to continue! If you’d be doing so for self concept some points could look like this:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I am being treated much better by my loved ones

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ My manifestations come so much quicker

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ I am not as insecure as I used to be

Scripting tangents - I mentioned this for vaunting but I used to loveeeeee scripting tangents about being God and how I was going to give myself the life of my dreams and I was done being a victim and how I will be able to travel and be wealthy and date whoever I want live wherever I want literally anything I could think of as I wrote because as I’ve said over and over again, you are limitless. You’ll never run out of things to list that you can manifest because there is nothing you cannot have, do or be!

VII. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ How to know if your self concept is perfect or needs improvement

You know you have a good self concept when:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You no longer deal with negative emotions

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You stop wondering if you can manifest _ because you know the answer is always yes

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You don’t bother settling or taking no for an answer

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You no longer seek external validation of any kind

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You’re in a good mood more frequently and feel better overall

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You acknowledge your desires matter-of-factly

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You don’t care about the how, it’s happening no matter what

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You’re naturally optimistic

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ Good things happen more frequently

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You don’t get impatient about manifesting

Some indicators that your self concept needs improvement are:

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You validate logic

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You accept defeat

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You’re still checking the 3D

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You still see life as something that happens to you

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You have that little intrusive voice whenever you read a success story

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You have beliefs that stop you from manifesting what you want

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You’re pedestalizing anything, whether it’s a specific person, a desire or a method

✧‎‎‎‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ You still think you cannot manifest certain things

VIII. ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎‎‏‏‎ What to do

Note that regardless of what you’re struggling with you absolutely can manifest. Don’t worry! When I first started working on my self concept I remember encountering circumstances that challenged my affirmations. I didn’t always get what I wanted, but that didn’t matter. Internally, I continued to affirm “I always get what I want :)” and that’s what I would encourage you to do as well. Remember that your subconscious mind cannot tell right from wrong, think about the thoughts that you’re feeding it and what it’s hearing from you (again, mental diet 101).

“The signs always follow. They never precede. Things have no reality other than in consciousness. Therefore, get the consciousness first and the thing is compelled to appear.” - At Your Command

Persist - Also another issue I’m frequently asked about. Not seeing results? PERSIST, BITCH. PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER. Remind yourself of who you are and what you're capable of! If you’re not getting what you want, remind yourself “This stemmed from me and the same way I can manifest what I didn’t want I can also manifest what I dowant.” Take responsibility where it’s due. Whatever happens do not give up and do not take no for an answer.

“And you can believe anything in if you will not accept the facts your senses dictate; for nothing is impossible to imagine, and imagining - persisted in and believed - will create its own reality.” - Believe It In

Impatience and dwelling on failure - What I absolutely do NOT want you to do is dwell on the fact that you’re struggling. It’s okay to acknowledge that your desires haven’t arrived YET, but as long as you persist in what you DO want (to have an excellent self concept) it’s okay! But please stop fixating on how you’re not getting results and how you’re not doing this or don’t have that, what you focus on GROWS

“Man insists on talking about his problems. He seems to enjoy recounting them and cannot believe that all he needs to do is state his desire clearly. If you believe that imagination creates reality, you will never allow yourself to dwell on your problems, for you will realize that as you do you perpetuate them all the more.” - Believe It In

Intrusive thoughts - We’ve all dealt with intrusive thoughts at one point or another and people will deal with them different ways. Some people decide not to process such thoughts as negative and let them pass by naturally. I’m going to list three different ways I dealt with my intrusive thoughts

Interruption

I had two methods of interruption I opted for. When I had “what if” moments I often interrupted those thoughts by affirming “it is done” and I said that over and over again every single time that came up, like this:

“What if it doesn’t hap-”

“It is done.”

“But-”

“It is done.”

The other method wasI would finish the intrusive thought off in a positive note like this:

“why is my life so-”

“perfect in every possible way? I’m honestly so in love with my life like I am literally the happiest person on earth I think”.

Telling them to shut up

I would envision my intrusive thoughts coming from someone else despite knowing it was me but anyway when I would have one literally respond mentally with “shut up, BITCH” the same way the rock did (like I would LITERALLY use his exact same tone and aggression while doing this lmao) and counter affirm and they stopped!

Deciding I didn’t have any

After so much redundancy of combatting my intrusive thoughts I had the sudden epiphany that I could just manifest them away… I was so surprised I didn't think of it earlier. Whenever one was coming up I would just be like “nope nope nope I don’t have intrusive thoughts I have never had one of those in fact, what’s an intrusive thought? Never heard of that” and they went away in two days <3

Doubting the law - If you have felt like this because you somehow think it’s too good to be true then you’re not alone, I was once there too. I constantly thought to myself, what if the law ends up not being real after all and what if i have to go back to struggling? I’m here to tell you that doubt is completely normal. Besides, get a load of how much Neville Goddard’s work is out there… a lot of us follow his teachings and have reaped the benefits of doing so! It’s not like we all mutually agreed to conjure up a random figure from the seventies and founded a community around him and pretend we have our desires just to troll people on the internet… That’s weird as hell. Anyway! If you’re feeling like this, read my post on doubt. As I have stated previously, having just a little bit of faith will take you so far in your manifesting journey.

Spiraling - Okay bff if you’re spiraling stay with me okay you can get through this now let’s take three deep breaths okay? In……[Hold for five seconds and then]……Out (3x) Now repeat after me:

“I am capable of manifesting anything I could ever want because my word is gospel. Even if the 3D has not conformed yet, I know that it will no matter what. Intrusive thoughts and negative emotions hold no power over me and nothing can interfere with the manifestation of my desires. I am in control of every aspect of my reality and what I say goes. Because I am God, I know for a fact that I manifest instantly, perfectly and without fail every single time.”

The reason why I have literally never dealt with a spiral (aside from having a great self concept) is because I’m conscious of just how much control I have over my reality. No matter what the predicament is, there is always always a solution because you are always in control. Recall my previous example of the toxic best friend and the multitude of ways you could deal with it. Whenever an issue comes up it’s pretty much “whatever, I can just manifest myself out of this predicament”. That’s literally why I don’t bat a lash whenever something would happen that I would’ve been stressed over. Think about it, as God you’re in control of everything, why would you freak out? It’s completely silly, baby. The world is entirely yours.

“There is no limit to the power of belief or to the possibilities of prayer, but you must be brazenly impudent and not take No for an answer. Try it! When I say you are all imagination, I mean it.” - Brazen Impudence

Feeling overwhelmed or anxious - Manifesting should NOT be stressing you out so if you’re feeling awful take a break! Don’t beat yourself up if it didn’t work out! Pick yourself back up and try again. Go back to the basics and have a fresh start. Get back to that beginner level and take a few baby steps, manifest little things to gradually build up your confidence. Take it slow and don’t impose so much pressure on yourself to do this correctly from the start. Didn’t go out as planned? Don’t worry, just try again. Take all the time you need until you feel more calm and relaxed. Your self concept won’t collapse in itself if you take a little break from it, I promise.

Doing without belief - A HUGE no-no, my love! Belief is a must when applying the law. If you’re not believing you are performing in vain. If this is what you're struggling with I recommend reading my post: How To Cultivate Your Belief In The Law.

Overconsumption - If you’ve over consumed info and thinking “oh no, I have confused myself to the point of no return” and idk where to go from here, here’s what I want you to do

Delete Tumblr (or the social media you consume from)

Stick to a single source (Neville of course)

Work on your self concept (use this post)

Now, here’s a little motivational rant:

Think about everything you'd be surrendering if you quit now! You deserve to live the life you've always wanted. You deserve to wake up every single day fulfilled knowing that you are living out all of your wildest greatest dreams. You deserve to be able to look at yourself in the mirror in disbelief at how ethereal you look. You deserve to feel ecstatic every time you get what you want. You deserve to indulge in every pleasurable experience the world has to offer. You deserve love, peace of mind, abundance and joy. You are worthy of that and so much more! Stop entertaining ideas that suggest that you are not good enough to manifest your desires. Do not take no for an answer. Do not let the 3D discourage you. Actually, don't let ANYTHING discourage you. Pay no mind to the intrusive thoughts that insist you can't manifest. Yes you can and yes you will. No matter what happens, persist in the fact that you are a master at manifesting and you're not gonna accept anything else. You'll be damned if you settle for mediocrity when you know you can have it all. You are so so so close to having the world at your fingertips, don't stop now! All of the doubts lingering are simply your old self trying to get you to stay where you are because this is new territory for you and it can feel scary. Don't let it win! Discomfort, uncertainty and doubt are signs that you're growing out of your old self concept and transitioning into a new state of awareness. Keep going! Take it little by little and know that you can do this. There's no "maybe I can", there's no "everyone can manifest but me". You can have and do absolutely anything you want except fail to manifest. I believe in you and I know you have what it takes to go the distance and manifest the life of your dreams. It's your birthright. You're God. Not a God, the God. Whatever you say has to and will pull through because you're limitless and inevitable, my love. You can do this!

For a bit of a twist I’m about to get a little mean for those of you that wanted this so if tough love isn’t your cup of tea keep scrolling

Is it not dumb as hell for you to be whining and bitching about not getting something you CAN get? Why are you crying over a situation YOU caused? you literally cannot lose unless YOU let that be an option. Enough complaining and crying WHEN are you gonna get tired of standing in your own way? You are the one who literally gets to determine whether or not you get your manifestations, how quickly you get them you are responsible for EVERYTHING. You’re the only one who’s capable of sabotaging that for you. It is literally nobody’s fault but your own if you’ve been struggling to manifest. At some point you just have to put your foot down and decide that you’re DONE not getting your desires and you’re TIRED of your own shit. All of it CAN be yours at YOUR command. Why are you victimizing yourself? Why are you having all these pointless intrusive thoughts about how you can’t manifest this or you can’t have that. WHY? Why are you making up fake bs ass scenarios in your head? Why are you focusing on shit you don’t want? Your only task is to think about what you DO want and forget about what you don’t. That’s such pathetic behavior coming from someone who’s limitless. I'm sorry. Worrying about what you don’t want is such a huge waste of time. The only thing that should be receiving your attention is your desires and nothing else. Enough of this victim complex of yours. You can have, you can do, you can be as you please without a single limit and here you are thinking you can’t have something or someone? Please. Don’t discredit yourself like that. Enough of you whining and bitching about this and that idc you’re getting your desires and that is FINAL. Stop getting in your own way B!TCH! “This is hard :(“ “No I can’t :(” no it isn’t and yes you can. Please stop crying about how you can’t manifest and how you are the exception now the hell you are not. The same god within me is the same God within you. Argue with the wall, I don’t wanna hear it. Anyway, when you’re done crying and whining, pick yourself back up and persist. You’re not gonna be a fucking loser on my watch.

MANIFESTING REVAMP !

this is gonna be a pt 2 basically of this post if you haven’t already go check it out!!

okay so this post is gonna be strictly on law of assumption and evolving into a better mindset.

LAW OF ASSUMPTION 101

what is law of assumption?

law of assumption is an everyday thing, without even knowing we assume things into our reality (apart from trauma/abuse). now that you have discovered the depth of law of assumption you can now create the life you truly wanna live, i have done it and so many others have. the basics of law of assumption: WHATEVER YOU WANT, ASSUME YOU HAVE IT, PERSIST THAT YOU HAVE IT. that is truly it, and yes it is that simple.

if it’s truly that simple, then why do people use methods?

great question! people use methods to help them align with their desires, for example someone might use subliminals. they believe that using subliminals will help them manifest, but the issue with methods is that they dont work unless YOU BELIEVE THEY WORK! not to mention you can use subliminals for 2 years and get no results and you wanna know why? its because of YOUR MINDSET. if you truly believe that you’re a failure, stupid, ugly. a subliminal can only do so little. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO EVERYTHING. FYI: this doesn’t count for the void method as that is instant

how to actually apply law of assumption?

its very easy, trust me! i get we struggle from time to time but realise your inner ability to overcome any obstacle. use the law everyday intentionally. how? okay, lets say i want my teacher to not come into school today, i want a cool subsitute instead. i will use any “method” to help me!

• visualising

pretty self explantory; you visualise what you want. people say you have to visualise “clearly” and your visualisation cant be blurry, this is OBVIOUSLY FALSE. your visualisation can be blurry asf. you can get what you want anyhow

• commanding your subconscious

commanding your subconscious..again self explanatory; you say “subconscious..i have (blah blah) or anyway you want to address your subconscious. again, your subconscious is YOU. its personalised to you and knows exactly what you want so please dont ever stress “what if my subconscious thinks this instead..” that cant ever happen..literally.

• affirming

affirming! everyone does it, just affirm that whatever you want is either already here, its coming/on its way. it doesnt matter how you affirm literally, and it doesnt matter what affirmation u use. no you don’t have to repeat affirmations, people just like to. you can say any affirmation you like.

• scripting

scripting is soo fun and if you’re artistic or like to get involved in reading/writing this method is for you. its so freeing and fun, just WRITE! write whatever you want, write how you magically found a £100 note on the floor in your diary. write your life like a story and deeply fall in love and assume that its already here

• my personal method

heres how i manifest (sometimes) so if im feeling worried/anxious or i procrasinate too much about a certain manifestation. i rant either in my head or on my notes phone app. after that i chill for a couple of moments and i turn over a new leaf. i start affirming for what i actually do what and i write in my notes app like it’s actually happened. im in the state of wish fulfilled and i feel satisfied. i mean..it’s already here, why should i worry?

theres so many methods, these are just a few i picked out!

- - ┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈ ┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈ - ∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘

omg..i overconsumed too much information, im struggling and procrastinating, what do i do?

we’ve all been there! dont worry. heres what to do

• REALISE THAT YOU ARE THE GOD OF YOUR REALITY, AND STEP INTO THE KNOWING THAT YOU ARE GOD.

• SLOW DOWN/LIMIT/UNFOLLOW the people who you follow, instead of following loa blogs/pages follow accounts that are similar to what you’re manifesting.

• SIMPLIFY THE LAW! dont make it worse for you and dont make it confusing for you.

thats all!

“i’ve been affirming for … days/weeks/whatever and its still not here?? what am i doing wrong”

i understand your frustration. i get asks like this all the time and i need you guys to understand that you have the power on how quickly or slowly your manifestation comes to you. when i get asks like this, it gives me the feeling that you guys are in the “waiting period” when there is no “waiting period” there is only this moment right now.

AND STOP PUTTING A HAULT ON YOUR LIFE CUS OF YOUR MANIFESTATION!!! please i cannot stress this enough interact with people, have fun, go to parties, do your homework dont put a stop on life for your manifestation. no, you do not need to affirm 24/7 this is not a JOB live LIFE!!!

- - ┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈ ┈┈∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘┈┈ - ∘┈˃̶༒˂̶┈∘

“i want to stop procrastinating, i want to finally have my desires and manifest my dream life”

and i want the same for you too! and its POSSIBLE. honestly. it really is all possible, do not compare yourself to other people and their manifestations, you are YOU. and you will get your manifestation.

SELF CONCEPT

i cant stress enough how important self concept is. its the key to everything ive made a post on it here. but i’ll say it again! with self concept you’re stable. you do not switch up, you’re consistent and more confident with yourself. dont know where to get started? dw. start off with these affs. (both manifesting + confidence affs)

[♡] manifesting has always been so easy for me.

[♡] i never have any doubts or limitations, i am a master manifestor.

[♡] i never struggle with anything nor do i blame and bully myself. i treat myself with kindness and respect

[♡] i love who i am becoming, i love who i am, i love everything about myself

[♡] i manifest everything i want within seconds

[♡] the 3D automatically conforms to my desires

[♡] i am flawless in every aspect of my life, literally home life, school life, relationships and more

[♡] life has become more enjoyable for me

[♡] i am living my dream life.. im so happy. i love how everything is rn.

NOW..THATS IT! DON’T EVER LOOK BACK. KEEP ON PERSISTING

trust me, you can do it. you’re so amazing and i cant wait for you to actually see it one day, for you to still be here after you went through hell and back. after you’ve endured such difficult times and you’re still here??? thats amazing. give yourself a pat on the back. you’re a god now, and you can create your entire life. you really can!!! if i can do it, so can you. so now. TELL YOURSELF THIS:

I AM THE CREATOR OF MY REALITY, I CAN CHANGE MY REALITY IN A SPLIT SECOND, IM BECOMING THE PERSON I WANT TO BE AND NOTHING IS STOPPING ME. I AM PERFECT, I AM DIVINE, I AM SPECIAL.

thats it my loves. <333

Help ive overconsumed info and nownidk what to do

The way you worded this made me laugh a little ngl 😂

When you’ve over-consumed info,

we have to simplify things and go back to the basics. Just keep these 10 commandments in mind and forget everything else.

Your assumptions form your reality. What you assume solidifies into the 3D.

You create the rules. Fuck science, matter, research and the limitations of the flesh. You’re God, never doubt yourself on what’s possible.

Circumstances do not matter. Your current situation is simply your present assumptions solidified. Reality is extremely malleable. Changing your assumptions changes your reality, no matter what.

Anything is possible. Anything. The only limit to your manifestation is the extent of your belief.

Methods do not hold any power. YOU DO.

Work on your self concept. Know you’re God and persist in your new reality.

Let go of the old story. The past like I said is simply a collection of your assumptions. It does not define you. You can be whoever you want to be.

All you need is faith and trust. Believe what you want is yours and know that you have it. It’s a done deal. Knowing is the secret. And in the words of Neville Goddard, faith is loyalty to the unseen reality.

Persist in your assumption and do not give up. You’re almost there. Failure does not exist in our reality. Remember, the fear of failure is also a cause of failure.

Bridge of incidents does not exist. There is no waiting period or time lag. You can manifest instantly if you want.

Hope this helps you, baby x

How to become a bad bitch & completely revamp your reality.

Law of assumption:

Before I start giving you guys my tips, I wanted to let you all know that I follow the law of assumption. Meaning a lot of my advice is going to be surrounding this law, which basically states that your thoughts and assumptions about yourself and your reality, manifest.

Leading us into TIP #1:

Accepting your truth as the creator of your reality.

It may feel like things are permanent and impossible to change right now, but that’s only because you’ve deemed them to be that way. It’s very easy to fall into the “victim mentality.” This way you can spend the rest of your time on this earth blaming the world for the way your life is, instead of taking both, responsibility and control over your reality.

Whether you believe it or not, YOU ARE THE ONE WITH THE POWER, except you’ve been giving it all away to your outer world by caving in and falling victim to whatever your shitty circumstances may be at the moment. And that is where you’ve gone wrong.

Your circumstances do not define you, you define your circumstances.

If there’s something that you want to change, you CAN change it; right now even. The only reason you’re having difficulty with this, is because you’re limiting yourself. So stop doing that and realize that there are no limits.

Everything you see in the outer world today was once only a thought. Anything you can imagine or create in your inner world, CAN and WILL reflect into your outer world if you deem it important enough.

The reason I say that is because whether you want something or not isn’t always relevant; if you dwell on it enough, and put a lot of your energy and focus onto that subject, it will manifest. This is why if you have an assumption like, for example, “all guys/girls are the same,” you will begin seeing a pattern in the type of man (or woman) you attract. Even if you find someone you think is perfect, if you still have that same underlying assumption patiently waiting to manifest when you least expect it, it sure as fuck will. You’ll then see that same perfect person slowly but surely turn out to be just like everyone else, because that’s what you decided they were gonna do.

However, don’t freak; you can change this by changing your assumptions, which I’ll dive deeper into a little later.

Moving onto TIP #2:

Getting out of your slump.

Taking breaks to reevaluate yourself and your life, and to work on your mental health is perfectly okay, until you use that as an excuse to completely give up. Sometimes shit can be hard, losing motivation is normal; which is exactly why you cannot rely on it to be the only time you choose to put in effort.

I know just how hard juggling both your depleting mental health and your mess of a life can be, which is why I’m not asking you to disregard your needs or to act like nothing is wrong. I’m asking for you to do the exact opposite, I’m asking you to take care of yourself.

Again, I know that it can be extremely hard, but at some point you are going to have to get out of bed and show your mind and body the love that it deserves. No step is too little, baby steps matter too; what’s important is that you try. Whether your accomplishment of the day is brushing your teeth, or reaching out to a close friend you’ve unintentionally isolated from, self care is self care & I’m proud of you.

Things you can do to feel better and be more active in your life:

Develop a routine— this builds self discipline and can help you feel more organized.

Make daily “To-Do” lists— this especially helps those who feel as if they’re being unproductive or wasting their days away because at least now you’re getting the things on your list done. And even if the things on your list are things you may view as small, they still count. They don’t have to be chores or something boring either, in fact, I recommend you putting things down that you like. Something productive and fun like drawing, maybe reading a book or finishing that show you ghosted last month.

Declutter your space— I believe that messy physical environments are most likely a result of a messy mental and emotional environment. Doing things like cleaning your room or not letting the trash pile up, shows that you aren’t going to give in to the laziness and that you are willing to make a change.

Declutter your space pt. 2— meditating and journaling can help you release the things casting shadows over the space inside your heart and mind, therefore giving you a safer, more calm and peaceful mental environment.

Find new interests/Break bad habits— get a hobby, indulge in things that bring you enjoyment and raise your vibrations. distance and detach yourself from people who keep you feeling low, and stressed out & change the music you listen to to songs that have a more positive message to them.

There are obviously way more things you can do, but I chose to list only the ones I feel are the most important so that this wasn’t too too long.

The last thing on the list is complimenting yourself— the way you talk to and about yourself is literally everything…which I’ll explain next, but no seriously, talk kindly to yourself. stop indulging in self deprecating jokes, and don’t surround yourself with people that do. building confidence and falling in love with who you are is definitely one of the best things you can do for yourself, and simply giving yourself a compliment each day is a nice start to making that happen.

Which brings us to TIP #3:

Developing a healthy relationship with yourself.

Realizing your worth: quit settling. be picky, have high standards bitch that’s okay!!! you shouldn’t have to lower your bar for a bum EVER, when there are people out there that WILL meet your requirements & give you the treatment that you deserve.

Setting boundaries: set boundaries with yourself and others, make it clear what you will and will not be tolerating. stop condoning behavior that the version of yourself you dream about wouldn’t.

Creating a good self concept: self concept is your belief system surrounding, you guessed it, yourself. think about who you want to be, what you want to attract, and start thinking from the perspective of that person because you are that person tf?!

What you think about yourself WILL manifest, in ways that you might not even notice you’re the one causing. Even saying something like “I have bad luck” is going to make bad things happen to you, at what you feel to be random times, but it’s not random; you manifested it.

Having a good self concept is essential. It’s not an option. I know a lot of people in this community say it is, but I’m telling you right now, it’s not. You shouldn’t want to hate yourself goofball. Stop making shit harder than it has to be and develop a healthy relationship with yourself right tf now.

TIP #4:

Affirming accordingly / keeping your thoughts in check.

This is VERY important okay? You MUST keep your mf thoughts in check because your reality is a direct reflection of your subconscious mind, and it will always be that way. You can’t affirm for a day or two and then fall back into that self hating rabbit hole and expect to see changes weirdo.

Stop over complicating affirmations. You’re constantly affirming just like you’re constantly manifesting, the only difference now is that you’re aware of it. For example: you ask your mom for McDonald’s, she says no, you accept that as true and go “damn, guess I’m not getting McDonald’s today.” And then boom, no McDonald’s for you. But if you were to have persisted in the assumption that you were getting McDonald’s that day, and she did say yes, then guess who tf is getting McDonald’s?! Yeah exactly. I’ve done this multiple times so I’m speaking from experience.

Some people like to loop their affs robotically, if that works for you…do that. If rampaging and ranting to yourself in your head, or outloud in the mirror works for you, then do that. If saying your affirmations as complaints works for you, THEN DO THAT!!!!!! you make the rules babe I really don’t gaf how you do it, just affirm for your shit and persist in that new mindset. For me, I recommend saying blanket affs mostly, affs that cover everything like:

Manifestation is so easy for me.

Everything always goes my way.

I have everything I want and more.

My life is perfect etc etc…

& then whenever you think of a specific desire you have, like clear skin for example, affirming for your clear skin:

“I love having clear skin” “my skin is flawless” and so on.

Remember that you can’t just do this for a week or two, and then when you get your desire you drop all of the work you were doing to fix your mindset and then slip again. NO. This is your new story, your new reality; you MUST persist in that shit always, just like you already do with the old story that doesn’t serve you.

So if you’re manifesting clear skin and you see a pimple the next day, you don’t go “man this ain’t even working. fuck this, I’m never getting clear skin” because that’s literally the opposite of what you’ve been affirming, and it’s a belief you already had impressed into your subconscious so further affirming for it just overwrites that affirming for clear skin you did the day before.

You are god. Anything you could possibly imagine can be yours if you really wanted it to be. Absolutely nothing is off limits. Period.

TIP #5, the fifth and final tip:

Carry yourself with confidence and know it’s done.

This means you do not react when something doesn’t go your way, that’s impossible. Just adapt the new mindset that everything always works out in your favor, because then the 3D has no choice but to conform to that fact.

You want to go to that party tonight but your parents said no? So? You are going to that party. Don’t sneak out or put yourself in a possibly dangerous situation, just know that you are going despite what they said. Mentally make them tell you yes, affirm that they did and go get ready bae.

You want that promotion but your boss is an asshole? No he’s not, he’s nice and he respects you. You’re literally his favorite employee, which is why you are getting that promotion.

Get it?

Don’t stress out about outer circumstances cause all that shit is temporary, it’s literally just a reflection of your old story. Write a new one, be confident in your power, and know that shit is done; everything you want is already yours.

Any harmful stereotypes I should know to avoid when writing a character of Indian decent?

anonymous 2 said: How would I go about describing an Indian male in a fantasy world is there any stereotypes I should avoid or anyways to not describe him?

Indian Character Stereotypes

Lots of ‘em.

The “smart” one. The Bollywood Nerd. 

The “smelling like curry” one.

The “really spiritual” one. The Sim Sim Salabim. 

The “only knows how to program and can’t talk to people” one.

The “heavy accent” one - which, of course, does not mean that your character cannot have an accent or that having a heavy accent is a bad thing. It just means that you need to be cognizant that it is a harmful trope that people use to otherize people of color, and that it can fall into tokenism.

The “7-11 cashier.”

The “really strict parents” one - we can definitely do with less of these. Going with that, having Indian characters that are ONLY engineers, or ONLY doctors is pretty harmful as well.

The “phone operator.” The Operator from India.

-Mod Satvika

I’d like to add that yes, there may be Indians and other PoC in the world who may fit some stereotypical roles, but people are not their stereotypes and shouldn’t be treated as caricatures due to their occupations or for any other reason, nor are these the only types of said people available.

So yes, create new images of PoC beyond stereotypes, but note that even as these people who fit stereotypes exist, they are more than just their labels and it says nothing about their worth when something does apply to them, as they are too complex human beings.

-Mod Colette

Will destroying castle byers

ugh don't you guys hate when ur bff that your secretly in love with says it's not his fault you don't like girls during a big fight and you assume he is making a homophobic remark towards you (but you don't know he is deep in the closet dealing with insane amounts of internalized homophobia and is projecting his own fears onto you and doesn't actually know your gay), and his comment reminds you of the homophobic things your asshole father used to say to you, and you actually felt safe and understood with your bff, so him saying that hurts so fucking much and you feel so “STUPID” because you thought maybe he might have feelings for you too, after he has given you multiple signs over several years that he does, but now you think he could never have feelings for you after he makes that comment during your big fight and kind of damages your close bond, so you rip up a picture of you and him from halloween the previous year when you dressed as ghostbusters and said you would go "crazy together" while sobbing in the pouring rain and destroy the one place you felt safe in since you were a kid, with a baseball bat which is a symbol of your internalized homophobia because your homophobic father used to try to 'turn you straight' by trying to force you to like normal things like baseball, and this wooden structure your very nice older brother helped you build after your father left your family, and is the only place you felt like you could be yourself in where you hung your pride symbol (that may or may not be one of your drawings or a homemade flag because your family doesn't have a lot of money to buy things and you live in a small conservative town in the 80's so where would you buy a pride flag without being hate crimed and the internet doesn't exist yet so you can't just order one online), while you also wear socks with a subtle rainbow on them, and a striped t-shirt that also slightly resembles a rainbow.

I think this is one of the most heartbreaking scenes in all of stranger things, and probably ever written. It's one of my favs.

the details>>>>>>> I can't. I'm crying.

Certain scenes are going to have so much more meaning (in cannon) when Byle r becomes cannon.

Examples:

Mike finding the body 

Crazy together

Wills remembering Mike’s name

You said yes

The fight scene

The last scene where one of them says not possible (with dnd)

i'm losing hope of byler being an endgame :( milevens say that we are invalidating mileven, besides having several scenes that they show "passion/love". they make fun of us, besides always giving reasons why mileven is an endgame, and disrespecting other people's ship, and maybe actually Will will be with another boy right?? idk but I really hope I'm not being deluded

lol  lets not focus on byler for a sec and mostly discuss mileven. what scenes show mileven’s  ‘passion/love’? Because the show invalidates mileven constantly-why they’re so aggressive/afraid of us.THEY KNOW IT’S DOOMED (they live in head canons and nothing else).  I’m going to try keeping this short by doing bullet points.

-The writers in s3 threw in a telemarketing joke just for Mike to say “El. no. sorry not interested” and hang up the phone. 

- Flo  in s1: “only love makes you that crazy and that damn stupid.”

Mike: “if we’re both going crazy. we’ll go crazy together right?”will: “yeah, crazy together “ *smile and stare longingly at eachother *————————————————————-Mike: “they do say it makes you crazy”El: “what makes you crazy?”(the exact opposite of crazy together as she continues to be confused over every explanation he gives of love 😂)————————————————————-During the byler fight  Mike says “el’s not stupid!” After this, Will calls himself “ so stupid “ 4x .  rips up photo where they said they’d go crazy together and cries . But, El after fighting with mike happily says: “there’s more to life than STUPID boys .”  El’s catchphrase being “not stupid” which she says in s2 before going to see Mike at the school. And Nancy before Mike says he loves El / Mikeduring the byler fight (about mileven) say “El’s not stupid!”

original gifs  sources

-the s3 stobin confession parallels mileven’s s3 shop confession (full analysis in link). Both El/Robin have bandages on their legs and both pairings sit together (on the floor) during their confessions- and are interrupted by Dustin. And in both straight baits- the guys use the terms “stupid/crazy” but subvert the expectation of it being romantic-as both girls say they’re not “crazy” or “stupid” for the guy. El saying “what makes you crazy?” in response to Mike. And Robin saying she was not into Steve’s “stupid hair” (similar to El saying there’s more to life than ‘stupid boys’/other saying she’s not stupid.”Also the song ‘the first i love you’ only plays twice in s3. During Steve’s romantic confession and robin rejecting him because she’s gay & El’s romantic confession and awkward kiss with mike (where Mike doesn’t reciprocate). Cause Robin/Mike are both gay and will reject the romantic confession.

- Erica making he-man and barbie kiss: “Hey , They’re in love!”Lucas (livid- and standing right next to a rainbow forcing them apart): “No, actually,  they’re not. they’re not even from the same planet.”  El even watches he-man in s1! Mileven is not in love!

Cue El and mike being compared to ET and Eliot -WHO AREN’T FROM THE SAME PLANET (by the Duffers in multiple interviews and in the pilot script ) .   And then there’s the  old euphemism of “girls come from Venus, and boys come from Mars”.  The Duffers saying mileven isn’t in love cause they’re not from the same planet (aka the same gender) -is just them telling us Mike is gay so he can’t fall for El-who is a girl/diff species. They literally have Will say to Mike “welcome to my world” as a contrast. So El telling mike he should ‘stick with his own species’ (aka boys) is another gay hint.

In s2 they even had El wear the same shirt as a 1986 movie character (staring Winona Ryder). The movie is called coincidentally “lucas”- and he’s in an unrequited romantic relationship with a gal named maggie. And he later says him and Maggie are  from “different worlds.” El being movie-Lucas in a unrequited romance, in this scenario. And the other easteregg is the Duffers have st-Lucas  say the “planet/worlds” similar to movie-Lucas.

some milevens also attribute romeo/juliet to mileven cause Dustin mentioned it while mileven was out of shot. But romeo & juliet weren’t actually in love-it was just kids in infatuation. And also used to describe the unrequited infatuation of Lucas/Maggie.

-Also when dustin in s1 says el is “like a wizard” (like Will.) Mike corrects dustin and says “more like yoda”. Really hammering down the alien references- which the Duffers reference to el in interviews all the time-by comparing her to et . In the pilot they even said mike and el are like “Eliot and et.” They said they made el dress like a ghost cause et did so- and then for the extra burn they made mike a ghost hunter/buster. And they also said that EL’s makeover in s1 was like et’s in the movie. And sorry ... who compares the girl they “crush on” with a green gross alien (yoda)- kind of shows how he sees her more as this foreign superpowered entity rather than a girl/crush. And on what planet is et /Eliot romantic??Answer is -it’s not. 

- In contrast, They have Mike and Will parallel  Diane and Venkman. In ghost Busters, Mike -is Venkman- and Will -is Dana Barret- who Venkman flirts with shamelessly until she is possessed. Dana finds a demon-dog in her fridge, and hires the ghost busters. And right before Venkman goes on a date with her she is possessed by the big-bad, Zuul, and is transformed into the gate-keeper (who controls demo(n)-dogs). Venkman proceeded to try to talk to the real Dana , ignoring her possessed form and eventually realizes how serious her condition is, is forced to sedate her. Eventually with the help of his team, Venkman closes the gate to Zuul’s dimension, rescuing Dana in the process. And Venkman plants one on Dana before riding away in triumph. While, El is a ghost and Mike is a ghost hunter XD

Notice in the same season lucas says mileven is ‘not in love’ and compares mileven to he-man and barbie .  Dustin has a  he-man & Et next to each other (along with a ghost buster sign above them, and the ghostbusters-trap next to et). This just reinforces the mileven eastereggs I’ve already talked about -  and how they want you to make the connections  about mileven not being in love. They showed et/barbie next to he-man, had El watch he-man, compared El to Et (who had a barbie-like makeover/ghost costume), so the next he-man ref of ‘not being in love’  cause rhey’re from different planets would connect in a more obvious way to mileven.  Same with Et next to the ghost trap and ghost busters sign (and El dressing as a ghost and Mike as a ghost buster-as an extra burn).

- Mike dehumanizing El is hammered down again when they compare s1 mileven to s2 dart /dustin (a demo dog) , to further show how un-romantic it is. Fin even said the duffers told him Mike saw el (OFFENSIVELY) as a “puppy’ (right after s1).  And of course millie accurately said “what a horrible way to describe me!”But the parallels are there: Dustin/Mike sharing sweets ( nougat vs eggos) for breakfast and saying they’ll have to wait for them to come home from school. And having mike annoyed, say  “a bond? cause you shared nougat?!” is dissing milevens who think the ego thing is cute/romantic. Dustin/Mike saying they ‘promised’ to take care of them and that they ‘trust’ dustin & mike. Dart killing a cat and El almost killing a cat. Dustin/Mike trying to convince Lucas- Dart & El aren’t bad. The boys thinking both El & Dart were bad guys causing both to end up running away because of that. Mike even admits in s1 he doesn’t like eggos and told El she doesn’t have to eat “like a dog” anymore.  it’s ironic when Mike says to Dustin “she’s not a dog” cause he treated her as such. Why El says in s3 angrily , “am I your pet?” It’s because he did/does unfortunately treat her this way to some degree. 

-They Parallel Mileven to Hopper & El (since mileven isn’t actually romantic)!

*teaching the meaning of promise vs com-promise. And making “promises” to eachother is not some super romantic thing- for just mileven.

* Telling her to eat “real food” vs eggos

* saying her new look is “cool”and saying it’s “bitchin” after El says the look is.

* Saying others are “corrupting her” and in response gals say neither respect her ability to make “decisions” in regards to romance. Hopper not accepting Mileven together (want them to break up)  and Mike not accepting she dumped him.

* Max saying to not let Hopper/Mike control her

*El saying “you lie” to both of them

ok , back to listing other points

- they dance to ‘every breath you take’ a break up song about a stalker ex who can’t accept he is now with her friend. The writer of the song also has said many times “it’s NOT a love song.” The duffers obviously knew that. Lumax also danced to it and Lucas was called a ‘stalker’ . El also stalked Mike in s2 (all that stuff milevens found romantic- El watching him without him knowing. Mike says he was not ok with it in s3). And in s3 he said not to do that and she just says ‘i make my own rules’.Plus, sting (the singer) mentions it’s supposed to sound romantic but the lyrics are sinister. And that the ambiguity/deceptive happy -romantic tone was intentional. Kind of like how people think mileven is healthy and in love when the show (ambiguosly says ) that it’s not -and the “opposite”.Just like the song being misinterpreted as romantic because of its deceptive packaging -mileven is the same . Mileven got popular cause everyone missed all the warning signs it wasn’t healthy (cause it was packaged as ‘cute’ and ‘ in love’) when behind the surface it was shown to be the opposite and not healthy.

 Not to mention Nancy teaching Dustin how to dance is a direct parallel to Mike teaching El. 

Mike also tries to act like Dustin, and  forces Will to dance with a girl (who’s wearing a rainbow hair clip). Trying to be a good sport like Dustin is about lumax. And right after this we see Dustin look sad about Max/Lucas dancing and Mike (next to Dustin) look sadly at Will/girl dancing in the same exact frame as Max/Lucas. As they switch between these 2 shots to emphasize their sadness/jealousy.Then they both sit down (mirroring each other) on the verge of tears before Nancy and El show up to comfort them and distract them.  As El once again (presumably) wears Nancy’s dress. Mike after El asks “will you be my brother?” “you cant go  (to the snowball) with your sister... i mean you can but it’d be really weird.” 

- before their first kiss in s1 she asked if he would be like her brother (after being compared to a cousin, and being compared to Holly, and wearing Nancy’s dress.) In s2 they even make a direct parallel to Luke &Leia (who were siblings who had a weird romantic relationship/kissed before realizing they were related). Mike (as Leia) saying “it’s a trap” to El (Luke). 

- Mike in s1 writes a d&d story for Will inspired by star wars.  in ep one Will tells Mike “it was a 7, the demogorgan it got me.”At the end of the season Mike writes a whole story of him and his friends killing a 7 headed monster, and showing the decapitated head of the monster to king Tristan (Will). Similar to how at the hospital he tells Will to not worry cause “it’s dead now”. This is right after Will rolls a 14 (cause Mike and Will are 7s together). And Mike who is a fan of starwars has King Tristan give them medals after killing the monster. Cause he wants Will/king tristan (instead of Leia -a girl) to present him with medals and be his romantic love interest (and praise him for being a hero).

- They had Dustin call mileven “bullshit” just like stancy (who were never in love). And in s3 for almost every single character in the show to dislike mileven . if that isn’t a cry for help from the writers idk what is XD

other stancy parallels: Making out on a bed to cheesy music. stancy wasn’t in love but they kissed the most in the series and nancy and steve (similar to mileven exchanged ‘i love yous’) but weren’t endgame and it was never love. Mike and Steve sing to their gfs and neither girls are fans and cut them off.In s1, both Nancy/Mike slap Steve and El and then both yell “ What is wrong with you?!”  Stancy/mileven are compared to Karen/ted who according to Nancy “never loved each other”. El is a fan of ted’s lazy boy. (Karen in s3 looks at Ted in the chair when the lyric “I should have walked away “ plays). And Steve and ted continuing to eat chicken as their gf /wife storm off from the table upset , and they do nothing. After the mileven and Karen/Ted fight- Steve says while eating “what did I do?what did i do?” And mike while eating says about el after their fight “what did i do wrong? what did i do wrong?!Steve and Ted both tell Mike to “stay on the bench/you’re on the bench.” Karen/ ted that they “never loved each other” (just like mileven and stancy which are “bullshit.”) All 3 wheelers were with people cause it seemed like the rational choice ( rich guy/ popular guy/ girl). Not to mention mike said “ I don’t remember” ( in reference to saying he loved el ) . And doesn’t say it back when el says “I love you”. Which mimics Nancy in s2 saying “I don’t remember ” (saying the stancy relationship is bs) . And she is also unable to say she loves Steve when he says“say you love me.” And Steve and el walking away as both wheelers stand there in silence. Unable to say “I love you” back.  Also, when stancy officially breakup it also pans to mileven on the porch as another parallel.And 11byers mentioned (at Christmas)  jancy has a moment but despite stancy’s issues she goes back to Steve where she looks sad over the decision .  Similar to how Byler have a moment , but then after , mileven talks about christmas  and they have that awkward kiss. In s3, steve when talking about stancy and trying to be popular even says “dustin’s right it’s all a bunch of bullshit.” (meaning Dustin’s right about mileven). Steve even says “everything people tell you is important that you’re supposed to care about- it’s bullshit.” (same season Mike mimics Lucas’ words from s1 about El being the “most important thing”.

-They also had Mike tell Max “i don’t hate you. I don’t even know you.”  Aka he can’t hate Max or love el cause he knew both for a week-and doesn’t know them. The amount of mileven burns that were in s2 -were insane XD.

other direct contrasts between Mileven & byler 

besides the ones already mentioned. 1) ‘crazy together/so stupid’ vs ‘what makes you crazy?/el’s not stupid/more to life than stupid boys & 2) ‘they’re not in love they’re not even from the same planet’ vs byler’s ‘welcome to my world’

3) Mike has drastically different expressions after the byler/mileven fights and the difference in weather and music selection ,convey how Mike is feeling. He looks regretful with Will, and almost annoyed with El dumping him.  Mileven breaks up to upbeat music on a sunny day (the break up being in front a crowd and a joke) vs the morose music and the storm shown (with just Mike and Will fighting ). We are supposed to take the byler fight seriously and the mileven one as a joke.They had Mike apologize to Will immediately. But with El he says “what did i do wrong?’ (Kind of like how ted, after pissing off karen says “what did I do?”)And then had Mike wait by the phone for her to apologize- says sexist stuff about her. Then have mike laugh/burp and talk about cheese and El to laugh about the break up/high five max and immediately oggle a pic of another boy/male celeb (unlike Will who looks sadly at the pic of Mike after their fight). And then after staring at the  teen-male celeb,  El says she’s not sure if  Mike’s a good kisser cause he’s just her “first boyfriend” and she has no other boys to compare him to (implying she’s thinking of other boys in the future).  Contrasted to Will who said he thought him & Mike would never get gfs but just spend the rest of their lives together. El after all these events, then happily reads comics  as Max says she shouldn’t hang out with Mike all the time. VS Will having him sadly read his comic to distract himself  only to throw his comic on the ground right before he looks at the pic of mike from Halloween (where they said they would go ‘crazy together’), calls himself stupid (unlike El saying there’s more to life than stupid boys/mike saying El is not stupid-aka in love ). And then destroys castle byers /crIES after the their fight. These events were perfect opposites.

4) When Mike says in the pool shed she’s the “most important thing in the world” to him. she cuts him off and says Hopper is right about them spending too much time together. But when Mike in the shed says asking Will to be his friend was the “best thing he’s ever done” (it was practically the cliche of true love breaking the curse) XD.

When Mike says to El  “you’re most important thing to me” in the pool shed. El doesn’t even acknowledge the comment (and neither should the audience- cause the words were empty). The framing of this mileven scene was not cinematic or heartfelt, and neither was the delivery from Mike. He’s not crying, trying to reach her with proclamations of his genuine feelings. There’s no dramatic music, framing, lighting or shot composition (and the scene was incredibly short).And El just responds and cuts his supposed ‘true feelings’ off- only to agree with Hopper and says “ what if he’s right”  . I didn’t speed this up FYI.

Juxtaposed to the MUCH longer byler shed scene. A literal single tear falling down his cheek as Mike , recounts the first day they met. This whole monologue is only of tight shots of just their faces (their bodies aren’t shown like in the pool shed scene). With contrasting colors of light and shadow.This is a personal moment between them and them alone- and the fact we zoom in on their faces (expresses this to be important emotionally) . And when we see Will’s reaction to Mike saying “it was the best thing I’ve ever done”. We just see Will’s face only- no music is playing and all we hear is  Will’s whimpers and Mike crying in the background.*

5) Max in s2 at Will’s house questions how Mike can still trust Will now that he’s a spy for the mf . Max (in s3) at El’s house: says that Mike doesn’t trust El- and Mike mentions that her spying is why he doesn’t trust her.  in s2, Mike: “if anyone could stop them it’s Will“. Max: “ I thought we couldn’t trust him that he’s a spy for the mf now?” Max in s3 calling Mike out  : “El has saved the world twice. And Mike still doesn’t trust her.” Mike: you want to talk about trust really?! after... Eleven spied on us! I guess girlfriends don’t lie they SPY!”

Not to mention - the fact is... El has “saved the world twice but Mike still doesn’t trust her” to fight the mf. Yet he 100% believed Will could defeat the mf -despite Will being possessed/a spy for the mf . And despite the fact Mike  thinks Will has no powers - unlike El ( but we all know he does , though :P). And, Mike even says Billy is dangerous cause  the “mf is in him ...Billy’s mind is sick, diseased” (but with Will possession -Mike still trusted him).  Max rolls her eyes and stares challengingly at Mike cause she remembers what Mike said about Will in s2- and the hypocrisy . And she finds it annoying how little faith he has in her compared to his almost unmoving-trust in Will (who at the time was possessed) . Mike has 100% trust and faith in Will-but simply doesn’t trust El.  And MAX KNOWS IT! Cause she’s paying attention. Like her facial expression/raised brow, at the end, is a challenge- you think non-superpowered Will could defeat the mf but not El with a history of fighting monsters? You say Billy possessed by the mf is dangerous- but still have more faith in Will possessed by the mf- than your own gf?! tbh El couldn’t defeat the mf (so technically him trusting Will over  El was proven to be correct). He wasn’t right about the El ‘giving up’ bs and he was still wrong for not respecting El as her “own person” with her “own free will” : not believing in El’s ability to make decisions like breaking up with him/ not believing El made the idea to spy on him, etc . But, Team work has always been what saved the day in s1-2, so over-relying on El to do it all and acting like she was the messiah ( like most of the st fanbase) was a poor plan . It’s not the El-show (it’s an ensemble cast with several mains). When they relied on her only ,to be the chosen one- she lost her powers, 30+ people d*ed, and they had to save her.

6) ) El and Will both calling for “Mike” alone in the upside down . And Mike “never giving up” on them.In the exact same ep (s2 e2) , both call for Mike from the upside down. El saves herself without Mike’s help. But Mike rushes to save Will crouching to comfort Will (whose body language mirrors El’s but who was alone in the forest after she sees mike and he did nothing). 

in s2 ep 1, both call for Mike ,but Mike only comes for Will -not el. It was like how Nancy in s1 called for Jon, and jonathan pulled her out of the upsidedown.  And as Jonathan and Mike both pull Nancy and Will back from the upside down , Jonathan says “I got you”. And Mike says “I got him “ twice. But mileven is like how barb while in the upsidedown called for Nancy (but nancy didn’t hear her screaming her name-cause it shows symbolically Nancy does not return Barb’s romantic feelings). Just like mileven.

Mike even saw Will’s dead body but the second he heard his voice he convinced everyone he was alive. Mike deep down assumed El was dead he brushed off seeing El as seeing things (like how Hopper described seeing Sarah). He even tells Max “ they took her just like they took bob” who was dead. Then a few minutes later lies and says he “never gave up” on her when she appears alive (which was a lie cause he just said she was dead). When El goes to his house Mike doesn’t ever go the forest to find her (unlike how Mike went into the forest in the pouring rain twice for Will). The truth is the only person he ‘never gave up on’ was Will.

7) They have El & Will have pics of Mike on Halloween (same night of the ‘crazy together’ speech). El only has a pic of Mike being miserable  and Will has pics of Mike staring at Will, and smiling next to him- despite the joke Mike never smiles in photos , this isn’t the case when mike is next to Will (he always smiles with Will). Cause being crazy with Will makes him happy - unlike his relationship with El who he fakes being ‘crazy’ about .

zoom in of Will & El’s pics of Mike: Will’s pic on left vs El’s on right . XD

8) Millie said El is “obsessed with Mike” so she has Mike-themed stuff all over  her room. She has a drawing with a heart that says mike on it/random heart pics, mike pic, dice that spell out mike, mikes’ stuff. So, It’s funny that mike has nothing relating to El at his place. In contrast to this, he still has 5 d&d drawings from Will on his wall (that he’s kept on his wall for 3 years despite removing an old poster from that same wall-which he gave to El). Mike even put up a 6th Will-drawing in s3- next to his new poster. And he never put a single 1 of her many drawings on his wall-just Will’s).

back to other points...

- They compared mileven to karen/billy. El in s2 , mimics Erica Kane who m(in the ep she is watching) rushes into a relationship with a writer named Mike Roy. (That relationship is not endgame-and  literally ends with one of them stalking and sabotaging their next relationship, but eventually accepting it’s over). This, also parallels Karen/ Billy. Before she meets him in s2, Karen is reading a romance book that has a guy that resembles Billy on the cover. The Duffers even mentioned they changed the cover to show the resemblance between Billy and the fictional book character. And we see Karen reading the sequel in s3 before Billy appears. Both El and Karen don’t/didn’t love Mike or Billy- they just projected onto them fictional characters they were infatuated with. El being into Mike roy- but projecting her crush on to Mike wheeler.

-They had El’s whole s2 arc be destroyed to show mileven is bad for her. “friends don’t lie” to let me lie to my friends so I can kiss mike and ditch them. lucas even said “they’re lying (about her curfew).”And lie to Mike about hearing his confession. Then in s2 trying to leave the cabin to experience the world and see my friends and fam again. To literally ignoring them all for 6 months and never leaving the cabin-despite Hopper letting me leave the house in s3.

- El in s3 says Mike treats her “like a pet” and “garbage”.

-In s1 Mike referred to her as a ‘weapon’  to help get Will back. smacked her when he thought she lied about Will being alive and said Lucas was right about her all along when he thought Will was dead and he couldn’t use her anymore. 

- They had El never apologize for spying/stalking . And  Mike never apologize for lying -despite it being the cause of the breakup . And had mike not reciprocate the kiss/ or say ‘i love you ‘ back  and had his eyes open while the same exact song plays that robin came out to: called ‘the first i love you’). These are the only 2 times the song plays in s3. The ‘first i love you’ also sounds like ‘the first lie’ - that song played when jancy said they were just friends. it sounds the same cause jancy lied about it not being romantic while mileven lied by saying it was.  He never apologized for lying cause the love is the lie- like Max said “boyfriends lie ALL THE TIME”. And it’s why the camera panned to Will when Lucas asked why Mike lied to her. And he never answers El’s question of ‘why do you lie?!’ (he just looks up silent and guilt ridden).This awkward kiss all happens in Will’s room too while Mike is in front of an open closet (while El is holding Will’s old bear).  

Plus he also fought with Hopper in s2 (’about El’) in Will’s room too. He wasn’t actually calling Hopper the liar he was calling himself “a stupid disgusting liar”out of self hate .  That scene was foreshadowing his lying to El in s3 (about his feelings for her). He blamed Hopper for his feelings for Will cause he told himself it wouldn’t have escalated if El had been around to ‘fix him’ . “I BLAME YOU! NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS OK! NOTHING ABOUT THIS IS OK. YOU STUPID DISGUSTING liar, liar, liar, liar”.starts crying.

- Mike says “i never gave up on you (to El). “ When moments earlier he says “it took her just like it took Bob.” HE’S LYING AGAIN. He always thought she was dead -he was just hoping she was alive so he didn’t have to blame himself. He felt bad for treating her like a “weapon”. Mike saw El and didn’t even bother looking for her in the woods cause he assumed she was dead and was hallucinating. Mike saw Will’s dead body- but heard his voice and got him from another dimension (for El he couldn’t even bother to walk into the woods). Despite going into the woods in the pouring rain 2x for Will in s1& 3. El and Mike both call for Mike in the upside down (Mike in the same ep only comes for Will).

- They barely spoke to each other and all they did was makeout for 1 ep (while Mike put a drawing of ‘Will (the fire wielding) wise’ on the wall to help him kiss her/ with rainbows pic everywhere in the room to signify he’s gay and lying).  All while listening to a mixtape Will gave him as he kisses El.As Mike moves her hands off him (and sings a song from ‘boy in the box’) and El says to Max later she doesn’t know if mike’s a good kisser . And Mike rushes to one of his many established double-dates with Will and lumax  (x). And Mike in s3 when dating el, removes the sign of the heart being propelled by a rainbow (which he had before meeting El in his basement) .BUT it follows him symbolically ,as a drawing of a heart being propelled by a rainbow (in el’s room- cause no matter how much he kisses el there, he can’t escape his rainbow/being gay.)

-as mileven kiss in s3 e1. We zoom in on the drawing of Will the wise (the lyrics over the pic are “a little more time can open closing doors”). And then Mike continues to sing this song from ‘boy in the box’ (cough closet).Will in s3e1 says he won’t fall in love and the song then a diff song plays “love that was new to you , you open up the door.” mileven at the end of s3 kissing in front of Will’s open closet door with Mike’s eyes open not kissing back , and saying he doesn’t “ remember “ the love you and just says it was “in the heat of the moment”. The mike song being from “boy in the box” (closet). And they make out to “I can’t fight this feeling” which the singer says is about wanting to admit your feelings to your friend of many years and being afraid it’ll ruin the relationship. Aka even when kissing El he’s thinking of Will and admitting his feelings and not being able to fight his feelings

- Mike saying about Max “awesome? you don’t even know her.” Dustin says “ i don’t have to i mean look at her.” El was said in s1 multiple times to look like a boy (specifically Will). So Dustin and Lucas had no interest in her -only Mike did. BUT when max (a girl who looked like a girl) arrived- they as straight boys  were smitten. And Mike was not interested at all (cause he’s gay). The fact people don’t realize Mike was rude to her because he thought Will liked her too makes me laugh - he even was 1/2 honest in s3 saying he was jealous of her  XD 

why in s3 (when she looks like a girl) the compliment to her look is almost the same as Hopper’s comment to her makeover in s2. Paralleling Mike to her dad is the opposite of romantic!

-people say in s3 Will saying “a day free of girls” is gay coded but everyone ignores Mike in s3 saying “BOYS ONLY”. Same energy.

-MiKE has more rainbows than Will: Mike’s rainbow bedroom blinds, the rainbow-heart wooden sign in the basement in s1, the rainbow heart drawing that says Mike in s3, a rainbow sticker in his room, byler standing behind a rainbow poster in s2. And Will with the rainbow ship and the girl he danced with having a rainbow hearts-hairclip.

- People mention Mike saving El in s3 was romantic ( when he hit Billy). But when Billy slapped max he charged in to save her too and tried punching him (despite their beef). that moment wasn’t romantic (unless you think madweheeler is- which no). Mike is just a good person- he also risked his life for dustin. He’s brave and will defend HIS FRIENDS. 

- we’re almost to the end for those not keeping tract mileven is compared to stancy, ted/karen,  karen/billy, stobin, Dart/Dustin, max &mike, barb/nancy, nancy & dustin, siblings & cousins & a parent/kid dynamic. And contrasted to byler.

- Finn, after s1, said the duffers told him,   Mike thinks of her as a “puppy/ “et” , and that Mileven was a  “first summer love thing”- foreshadowing what was mileven’s downfall during the Summer (aka s3). He repeats this “first summer love” phrase 2x.  Millie when he mentioned what the duffers said, rightfully thought the puppy thing was “awful”, but Finn was clearly told mileven doesn’t last -very early on.Summer love” by definition fails-as it only lasts during the summer.  

-It wasn’t a break it was a breakup. Like Max and Will said in response to Mike  “ she said she dumped your ass! That doesn’t sound like a break?!/ it wasn’t!’ Or El knocking all the candy out of the machine, except the kit kat Mike wanted. Slogan of kit-kat “ having a break , have a kit kat.” In other words, it was NOT a break. It was a breakup. Difference is - in s4 it’ll be El who can’t accept this fact , not Mike. Max having to correct El that Mike is her “ex boyfriend” after the breakup (in s3) foreshadows this.The other couples in s3 who fought -were always still paired together in framed shots (jancy/ lumax) were on a break (but got back together- by the end of s3,  not confident about their futures together, but they still have a distinction from mileven-based on such framing). That mileven didn’t get back together. El in s3 was always on her own and Mike was paired with Will (while the other couples were in frame). 

this could go on and on honestly. there’s so much other stuff proving mileven is not going to be endgame. Not to mention all of Mike’s queer coding (x) XD   

how to stay motivated as a writer

Reread your old writing. Especially those scenes you're proud of

Write something silly. Doesn’t need to be logical, or included in your story. Write something dumb

Compare your old writing to your new writing. Seeing how much you've improved is a great way to get motivated

Explore different storylines. Those type of storylines that would never make it into your novel, but that you'd still like to explore

Choose one of your least favorite scenes, or a really old one, and rewrite it

Read old comments from people praising your work

Create a playlist of music that reminds you of your wip

Don't push yourself to get back to what made you stop writing in the first place. Write something else

Write what you want to write, no matter how cliché it might be perceived as. It doesn't matter. If you want to write it, write it.

Take a break and focus on another hobby of yours. Consume other pieces of media, or take a walk to clear your head

You don't have to write in chronological order from the very beginning if it isn't working for you! Sometimes a scene you aren't interested in writing can become interesting after you've explored other scenes leading up to it/happening after it

Read one star reviews of ''awful'' books. As much as I hate to say it, you'll unlock a newly appreciated view on your own writing

create a new storyline, or a new character. Anything that helps bring something fresh into your story. Could even be a completely new wip

Not writing everyday doesn't make you a bad writer. If you feel you need a break, take one.

Remind yourself to have fun. Start writing and don't focus all your attention on following every rule created for writing. You can get into the nitty-gritty when you’ve familiarized yourself with writing as an art. Or don’t. It's fiction. You make your own rules.

Go to sleep, or take a nap. Sleep deprivation and writing does not go hand in hand (trust me)

Listen to music that reminds you of your characters/wip

Remember why you started. Know that you deserve to tell the story you want to tell regardless of the skill you possess

Byler Proof

Byler (Will Byers and Mike Wheeler) It is undeniably real and I am going to explain why in an overwhelming and excruciating amount of detail

I compiled all of the byler evidence I have ever found into this 210 page google slides. I mainly made it for my own brain to have all the evidence organized in one place, but also to share with my friends so I can explain to them why byler is real LMAO. I thought I would post it here too in case anyone else might like it!

I know it's a lot of slides, but I wanted to make sure it was really detailed and extensive! I promise it doesn't take super long to read :)

(I just want to preface none of the edits in here belong to me, I am not taking credit for them. Most of them I found on pinterest where I couldn’t find credit given, but I know some are from @kaypeace21)

ultimate motivation to finish your book

from somebody who just published their book:

people will send you selfies of them holding your book and it WILL make you cry 

realising you actually made money? from the thing you created?? mindblowing. incredible. 

putting your physical book on your shelf and staring at it alongside all the books that inspired you, knowing you finished something you poured so much of your love and care and time into 

seeing how many people have your book marked as ‘currently reading’ on goodreads and how many more have it on their ‘to be read’ 

family members asking if you’re Still Doing That Writing Thing? and being able to tell them that you actually just had a book published, thanks, yeah it was pretty successful, it’s been a really smooth process,

the immense excitement of having successfully launched a book and knowing you’re going to do it even BETTER next time around

seeing all the different currencies and marketplaces in which your book was sold…..all around the world ppl are holding it in their hands…..and reading it…….incredible………

sales reports are frustrating and awful but hey at least you’re making sales!!!!!

you’re an Author now buddy! i sort of went by author before bc this isn’t the first time i’ve technically been published - anthology stuff! - but like, now it’s official, it’s the best feeling in the world

the selfies. they’re the best part. the selfies are incredible dude

the feeling that this is only the beginning of a long, exciting, wonderful journey as an author - and that the only way to go is up.

so get out there and get writing!!!!!! your book is gonna be in your hands someday soon and it’s gonna be an indescribable feeling. 

An aye-write Guide to Writing About Food!

Let’s get one thing straight. I love food. I love eating it, I love reading about it, and I especially like writing about it. Food is a massively useful tool you can utilise in your writing - whether it’s for description, plot points, or in a symbolic/allegorical sense - and it can really help ground a reader and get them invested in your characters and your world. 

I’m sure we all have some positive food memories from our favourite childhood books! The Turkish Delight from The Chronicles of Narnia, the huge feasts from the Harry Potters, literally everything from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. But other than adding flavour - if you’ll pardon the pun - to your work, why should we bother adding references to food at all? 

Here’s a few:

Sense of reality

Humanises characters (most things need to eat!)

Character development

Reveal backstories

Illuminate relationships between characters

Bringing characters together (around a table, peace offering, as thanks) 

Can capture an era of history 

Gives a good sense of character’s health/mental state/personality 

Metaphorical (Please sir, I want some more - Oliver Twist)

Evoke characters’ memories 

.-.-.  

Food As Symbolism

Using food as symbolism is a particular favourite thing to do in my own writing, but to use a much more well known example, let’s look at Edmund and the Turkish Delight from The Chronicles of Narnia. The sweet is described as being “sweet and light to the very centre”. Many think the sweet was bewitched so that Edmund would want to eat it forever, thereby getting him to agree to anything The White Witch wanted in exchange for more. So it’s a symbol for Edmund’s mistakes and how his desires are so strong that he is willing to hurt others to fulfil them. The fact that the Turkish Delight leaves Edmund feeling sick afterwards is also indicative of his feelings. In the same way you may feel regretful after eating something too sweet, Edmund also regrets his decision to endanger his family.

Where else does food serve as a symbol? It becomes a symbol of resistance and wanting more when Oliver Twist asks for more gruel in the infamous scene in the Charles Dickens novel. The thin gruel personifies the extreme poverty and the horrible reality for those in the workhouse.

And Irish novel Angela’s Ashes has a scene in which Young Frank fawns over the possibility of getting an egg to eat after his father’s wages come in. Eggs were a rare luxury for a poor Irish-Catholic family at the time, and the fact that Frank ultimately does not get his egg (as his father squanders his wages) represents their dire financial situation, hopeless future, and lower social class.

.-.-.

How Can Food Show Help Us Develop Our Characters? 

A character’s choice of food will be influenced by many factors, including but not limited to, geographical, climatic, historical, religious, cultural, political as well as personal taste, fashion, economic status, society and familial influence.

A poor person will eat very differently from a rich person. Someone watching their figure will be more conscious of their food choices. Someone from a multicultural family will have been exposed to different cooking techniques and dishes and may have a wider frame of reference. Someone who is gluten intolerant, dairy-free, vegetarian, etc. will also be very careful about what they consume.

A great exercise I like to do if I’m struggling to learn about my characters is to make them a meal plan! Setting out a character’s food choices and food preferences might help you unlock some new information about them or help you deepen your understanding of them.

For example, look at these examples of meal plans. 

Breakfast: Weetabix, skimmed milk, red berries. Lunch: Baked potato with small amount of low-fat cheese and side salad. Dinner: Gnocchi and tomato bake (small portion). Dessert: Small pot low fat strawberry yoghurt. Snacks: Apple and cinnamon cookie. Bag of pre-cut apples.

Breakfast: None. Lunch: Microwaved meal. Dinner: Breaded chicken and fries. Dessert: None. Snacks: Peppermint chocolate. Blueberry muffin. Salted potato chips/crisps (two bags). Small bag of Skittles (sour).

Straight away you can start piecing together your impressions of these characters just from their food choices and without knowing anything about the kind of person they are!

My Food Worldbuilding and Character Questions 

If you’re worldbuilding, food is going to be a pretty important aspect of your characters lives and the way of life in general for your world. Here are some questions I use when I’m considering how food impacts the characters and the world that I’m trying to create. 

Do your characters eat and drink? If so, how important is it to your plot?

Is food generally safe or dangerous? 

Do your characters have allergies? 

Are there rituals/rules around consuming food/drink? 

Is food and drink a thing of joy or a thing of necessity?

Are there any festivals/cultural traditions around food?

What does food reveal about the culture, relationships, and status of your character and their family/friends?

What food or drink is in your characters’ homes?

What is your character’s relationship with food?

What important memories does your character associate with cooking/food/eating?

A (Non-Exhaustive) List of (Red-ish) Flags In Writing

Particularly when writing people with a marginalized identity that you don't hold, it can be hard to tell what is an issue if you're not familiar with it. Research should be your main reference point, but sometimes you need to go with your instincts.

Here is a very non-exhaustive list of things that should flag to you that you need to take another look at it and do some more research:

Is a person/culture/group presented as "backwards", irrational, un-modern, or uniformly aggressive?

Am I using coded language (e.g. thug, slut, slow) to describe a character?

Am I associating sexual habits or preferences with a certain race, religion, gender, or class?

Am I dismissing or making light of devestating historical events that appear or are referenced in the story?

Am I prioritizing the rehabilitation of individuals or groups who commited violence, particularly at the expense of those who experienced that violence?

Are my characters, particularly my marginalized characters, embodying stereotypes with no other characteristics?

Do my marginalized characters exist simply so I can say I have included marginalized characters?

Am I applying every marginalization to one character so that I don't have to "deal with it" in other characters?

Do marginalizations, particularly disabilities, only appear when convenient?

Do marginalized characters, particularly Characters of Color, exist only to guide or care for white characters?

is it just me or do all writers have ✨that✨ character? y'know, the one you think about before falling asleep that lingers in your mind just a little longer than all the rest? that character whose scenes make you smile while writing? that character who if you met in real life you'd cry while shaking their hand? you know, the reason you write. the reason you haven't quit by now—✨them✨
