I love characters who are knights. Like they need a cause, a person, SOMETHING to fight for. Something they can bow to and defend. As leaders and servants and teammates.

writing dialogue is the bane of my existence. the most awkward thing ever, honestly. it always either sounds like a porn parody of High School Musical or two aliens desperately pretending to be human. and failing. miserably.

im gushing but i love love and its so cute and funny to me that law is this fandom bicycle super popular guy and we are here like No. None of those attractive men or women are his Real match (at least i do, if you dont, i dont wanna hear it)

I LOVE THESE PARALLELS SO MUCH YOU HAVE NO IDEAAAAA

and to endgame too!!! the helicarrier and the Genius Built drones

this is why I say Flame would be freaking out during the events of the Rise movie!!

I would love to see everyone's reactions to Flame staring out in horror as the prison dimension portal opens over New York and she's suited up in her MK60, her vibranium suit, and her helmet retracts

they see her face, see the fear in her eyes, the look of someone who's definitely getting hit with pretty negative deja vu and is Not Having A Blast

and she just goes

"I've seen this all before...."

I bet Jr would FREAK OUT

Rewatched all of Steven Universe to show it to my brother last year and I'm convinced people were too harsh with it,like,it's not half as bad??????,i remember joining the mob of "waaa,steven universe had too much filler and the hiatus were long",and yeah,the hiatus were quite bad but now that it's been years and seeing it from a point of view as an already finished show,it's really fucking good like?????????,yeah,the lows are very lows,not saying it's like Breaking bad levels of good but maaaaaan,the greats were great and this show has heart,I do agree some parts were rushed,like the Cluster arc and the finale (although that was due to the network problems),but damn,I can't wait for people to realise how good SU actually was

secrets, mystery, and ignorance are some of the best worldbuilding tools. practically, they're perfect devices to spackle over plotholes and effective band-aids for thinly fleshed portions of the narrative. however, i think their biggest use is making room for possibility. if something in your creation has been purposefully lost in the first place, then there is always an opportunity to find it later.

Do you know anything about reality shifting?

Hello Anon, thank you for the interesting ask. So to make sure I have things straight with what you're asking, it sounds to me like you're more or less talking about either the so called "many worlds theory" pointing to parallel universes with all possible timelines occurring in each of them as is described here or about essentially "shifting" to somewhere else while meditating perhaps as is said here, am I correct? I also assume you chose to send me this ask because of the spiritual and metaphysical nature of some of my posts. A brief definition of reality shifting states "Reality shifting is the practice of shifting your subconscious to an alternate reality and is largely based on the Multiverse Theory." Instead of quoting this entire article, I am going to focus more on some of the comments I read in response to this article even one from the original author who has a PHD.

One user asked because I too like to have things laid out in normal terms (not a physicist here afterall and most people here on Tumblr aren't either):

"I am not a physicist or mathematician but am trying to grasp the arguments. Are you saying that, actually, 'universe' is a synonym for 'mentality'? It is a scientific fact that we different mentalities and we see the world and universe through our own personal bias. That is perfectly acceptable to me."

The author responded to this comment with:

"Not exactly. A universe is really a set of observations that you or I make about reality. In quantum many worlds, we believe that each possible observation of a quantum experiment, which as random outcomes, have their own universe. So, if I flip a (quantum) coin, there is a heads universe and a tails universe. Each one has a copy of me in it, one of me observing heads, the other observing tails. It doesn't have to do with bias so much as how we slice and dice what we observe (which could be biased). I say a coin has heads or tails but that is an interpretation of that coin that I have made. Even if other people agree with me, the coin doesn't know that it has heads or tails. Therefore, there cannot be a heads universe and a tails universe."

Anon, I chose to highlight the last tidbit of the author's response here and also the first part of it because this implies to me the many worlds theory is in fact more of how we interpret the universe as opposed to literal universes, which is what a commenter on this post was refering to as "new age wizards". The full comment I talk about here is stated as such:

"Well, lets see: Yuri reminds us that relativity allows observers to disagree on the simultaneity of two events. It’s useful to keep this in mind, for this is still compatible with an objective reality. I don’t think you are justified in saying it isn’t on the basis of the experiment with qubits. This is an imprecise statement; poetry, not science. Physicist learned a lesson when they used the term “measurement” instead of the term “interaction” which precisely fits the phenomenon. “Measurement” smuggles “consciousness” into the discussion, and this empowered a flood of new age wizards claiming to have been vindicated by science. I’ve noticed physicists like Sean Carroll have recently become much more careful about the way they explain these things. Your explanation of this experiment I suggest makes a similar error. It is not objective reality that is being proven wrong. It is that our understanding of what objective reality actually is, is once again being expanded to include observed facts that we’ve never observed before. Reality is no less objective, it’s just not quite the way we thought it was. Our understanding of it has become more sophisticated again, just as Newton’s understanding of it became a special case within the greater and more accurate Einsteinian model. So please, don’t unnecessarily unleash the crazy. Reality is what it is, and we are discovering it."

It has been stated here ultimately that we "live" in many universes based on the understanding of how we perceive things but share one objective universe. Now, if you would like to know what my guides have said from a divination standpoint before I even delved more into the many worlds theory just today (did a little bit of research years ago), they have told me that it is "New Age bullshit" (namely, with their view being literal parallel universes existing side by side). Now there are divine blueprints, which are variations of the divine plans with said milestone events but things happening at slightly different times and sometimes even friends and lovers can change in this sense based on the small decisions we make every day. These do exist in the astral/spirit planes and can't be accessed from the physical but literal universes of every possible outcome happening side by side is not a thing. Sorry if this disappoints anyone reading this.

As for whether time travel is possible or not, my guides also also said no which this article here implies is the case coming from a theoretical physicist. Hermes one time said to me "should anyone attempt to go time traveling, they will end up in the astral planes and remain there". He also said the 2002 movie "The Time Machine" holds a lot of accurate truths about what would really happen should someone attempt to time travel. The ending where Alex is "side by side" Philby in "different times" in the same place as seen in the clip below is really Alex in the astral plane and Philby being in the physicals plane. Someone I went to high school with was talking about time traveling in the sense of doing so mentally, I believe looking he was talking about "reality shifting" via meditation or doing so via dreams as well. He did get caught skipping class a few times in high school meditating by the trees and even one time was seen feeding a squirrel. Oh the people I made friends with in school...

Based on the view of reality shifting being more or less about mindfulness meditation and essentially picturing yourself and your senses being elsewhere, I think that it sort of can be perceived by the senses but not nearly the same as actually being there. According to this Forbes article, it states the following 3 traits are most common amongst those who partake in "reality shifting" in this sense:

"Absorption refers to an individual’s capacity to become deeply immersed in sensory experiences, fantasies or imaginative activities. Individuals with high capacities for absorption tend to have vivid imaginations, a heightened ability to concentrate and a propensity for intense emotional and sensory experiences."

"Dissociation is a psychological phenomenon characterized by a disconnection between thoughts, identity, consciousness and memory. It can manifest in various forms, ranging from mild detachment or spacing out to more severe experiences of depersonalization and derealization, where individuals feel disconnected from themselves or their surroundings."

"Fantasy-proneness is characterized by a heightened tendency to have intense and vivid fantasies, daydreams or imaginary experiences. Individuals who are fantasy-prone often find it easy to immerse themselves in imaginative worlds, sometimes to the extent that they have difficulty distinguishing between fantasy and reality. Fantasy-prone individuals typically have a rich and detailed imagination, allowing them to conjure elaborate mental images and scenarios."

In this sense, when I first heard the term I was thinking it may have to do with something like this. I don't partake in reality shifting so much but I have had experiences of being in the astral planes physically. I also have posted about things like dreamwalking and other places I have visited while doing so. While I of course believe this is my reality and what I've experienced in the past including all of my physical senses being truly present (and not imagining things), I think that reality shifting is more or less vividly believing you're somewhere else. I think things like virtual reality gaming is becoming more of a thing (the Oculus was very popular this past Christmas season for example). It's also interesting that in past years 3D movies were more popular but less 3D movies are made today. It seems this goes back some to the fact that many 3D movies were made as 2D and simply converted to become 3D. it seems also the glasses were uncomfortable to wear for some people and the simple fact it's more expensive to make 3D than it is so called 2D. I wonder if this reality shifting trend going on with namely teens and younger adults yo speak of Anon is going to make 3D be more in demand one day.

Overall, I would chop up reality shifting as being more or less about having a vivid imagination is what it boils down to. I believe that people can travel to different places via dreamwalking or even somehow entering the astral plane physically like I did one time wide awake (hello Stranger Things!) but reality shifting is not quite the same thing.

Thanks for the interesting ask Anon!

don’t have the energy or even an idea for NaNo this year, so trying a drabble a day from this prompt list (part 3/?):

mysterious (da:i, g, ~325 years, some time in between The Threat Remains and In Hushed Whispers/Champions of the Just. Mending day in Haven.)

“There’s no mystery to it,” said Sophy, around the pins in her mouth, “Do you know how many Trevalyen children there are?”

This was, perhaps, a question she ought not to be posing – truthfully, she was not quite sure how many siblings she had – or whether her second step-mother still lived, or whether the old hall had had yet more rooms tacked on to accommodate any number of spares. Marjorie’s maxim – that old houses went odd – had expressed itself in her father’s mania for procreation, which she had assumed was what everyone, even far into the Frostbacks, knew about Trevalyens. At least Lady Josephine was too polite to say it in so many words.

But this was her old self-obsession speaking. There was no reason for the woodsman-Warden to have known about the strange proclivities and peccadillos of Free Marcher lords (though she swore she could hear the familiar home-like burr, at times) – and so she sighed, with a sweet smile for the little girl whose rag-doll needed repair. Sophy looked over her head to Blackwall, whittling by the fire. “When I was sent to the Circle, there were sixteen children of Bann Trevalyen, and that was twenty years past. Even with an army of nurse-maids, the older children - some of the older children, I mean - did for the little ones as best we could. I’ve done this more times than I can count, though it has been some time.”

The Warden nodded. She’d take acknowledgement, telling herself that the Herald of Andraste had no business being overly-prickly over Blackwall’s expression of surprise – and, having spent weeks marching through the waste that had been the Hinterlands, perhaps Blackwall was right to mistrust a thin-blooded noble who’d come into usefulness at the point that most men began to start thinking of their deaths. The little girl – hair the color of wheat, in two fine braids that spoke of love and care – sat patiently while Sophy plied her needle, humming. There was something home-like in it – or what home had only infrequently been.
