“i can’t shift. what should i do about it?”

you just admitted that you cannot shift, then asked how you can shift. those are two conflicting statements. if you don’t know how to shift — your body & what works / doesn’t work for you — how is somebody else, a stranger, supposed to know that ? you know yourself best. you are the only one who can help yourself.

“i’ve been trying to shift & no method or routine works for me.”

this all boils down to something & that is the reliance on other people to tell you how to shift. i can give you everything that helps me; my books, my affirmations, my subliminals but at the end of the day that’s what helps me. information, that i have found through trial & error. everyone is different & not everything will help everyone. this is why not getting your heart set on one method or one way to do something is essential.

during the peak of misinformation on shiftok, I don’t believe a lot of the misinformation was actual misinformation. people asked how to shift & people told them how they shifted & somewhere along they got misconstrued as a “how to” guide. if something helps you or doesn’t , it’s not misinformation. it’s a different way of doing things. think like doing math, there’s multiple ways to find the answer. people with learning disabilities (like myself) sometimes have to go the extra mile to have things make sense in our minds because not every mind is the same.

things take time, especially to perfect a craft. if you’re someone who draws or paints, you have to know the techniques & where to shade & where light hits the subject at certain points. if you’re someone who works out, you have to use certain equipment maybe or get into a habit of going to the gym. both of those take time & discipline. you don’t just pick up a pencil once & become one of the greats or walk on the treadmill for two minutes & instantly meet your desired result. it’s a routine.

no, you don’t have to have a routine but it’s beneficial. it can help hey you into a mindset, it can aid in your self confidence. if you’re confident, you will perform better. it gets you into a habit of something & making a habit out of something is the first step in being intentional & getting your mind & body into a mindset.

you know on top of everything else that’s great about Captain America: The Winter Soldier I genuinely think we have it to thank for the fall (or at least marked decline) of the Loki fandom

This question has come up a lot so I decided to make a post about it :)

So I’ve been writing a new fic and I know this isn’t a ~new~ concept, but I’ve been thinking a lot about how the characterization in hoo would have shifted if Percy/Annabeth were a lot older than the rest of the seven. (Or just the og pjo characters for that matter)

I’m talking maybe 25/26 while the rest of the seven are still the same age.

First and foremost, I would have loved to see how Percy and Annabeth would have been a decade older.

When the pretty blonde lady comes flying off the chariot and demands where he is and Butch explains that she’s been looking for her husband, Percy Jackson.

(I mean imagine how that would have affected us as readers. Percy and Annabeth weren’t supposed to even be in this series now here they are but older and MARRIED?? that would have fuckin shook me)

Also, this means they’re past the college age, sooooo what have they been doing with their lives??

I imagine they went to school somewhere in New York, not necessarily  the same colleges but close to both camp and mount Olympus.

And Annabeth’s been designing for Olympus a near decade.

Percy, of course did get a degree (haven’t decided what yet) but the two of them have basically been the co-leaders of CHB alongside Chiron.

Also, I’m a huge proponent of Annabeth building a “New Rome” equivalent in Camp Half-blood so when Jason, Piper, and Leo arrive to Camp Half-Blood there are houses and we see Travis and Connor and Clarisse as older and alive and doing well.

Piper sees Percy’s and Annabeth’s house and she can tell its a house well lived and loved in. There are dozens of pictures of Percy and Annabeth, a tray of blue cookies left on the counter, blanket and books along the couch, and yet looking at Annabeth, tears in her eyes, it somehow feels cold and empty.

Annabeth, who woke up, with Percy gone from their bed.

The photo in the big house of Percy and Annabeth is one of their wedding.

Now PERCY

Who wakes up with no memories except of the beautiful blonde girl.

Nothing to his name except a pen in his pocket and a ring on his finger and he knows that she must be the one he’s married to.

Now, the second part, is the characterization. Cause the age gape would significantly shift things.

So one things that often get complained about with Percy’s Character arc in hoo is that its the same one from pjo -  Zero to hero…. which doesn’t make sense considering how we left pjo. 

Percy is the hero. He shouldn’t be treated like the underdog anymore

The arc, I believe, should be more along the lines of Percy not wanting to have to live up to this “hero” legacy.

Feeling like the worlds just waiting for him to fail.

Or maybe he feels like he has too much power.

Also, he’s more hardened. He’s been doing this for thirteen years now.

And he’s powerful. Within canon, Percy’s powers have been shown to grow and grow and grow exponentially in a quick rate of time 

now imagine a decade more worth of experience on top of this.

cough*blood bending percy*cough

So Percy finds Camp Jupiter, Hera/Juno tells him the river will wash away the curse.

And Percy’s, whose now had the curse longer in his life than he hasn’t had the curse and knows that he is so used to fighting on strictly offense that he would probably die, forgetting he’s no longer invincible. 

Also its simply a “superbly dumb idea to lose a curse like that” and is like - uh, no.

And lifts the River over them instead.

And when he comes onto Camp Jupiter’s army.

He’s like where are your adults.

and they’re like “Oh :) When you’re an adult :) you retire :) the children :) are the ones to lead the army :)”

Insert Percy’s “the-fuck-you-mean” expression.

And when its time for the quest to Alaska, Percy’s actually like “No, I’ve gotta find my wife.”

And Hazel is genuinely like “That’s ok! Frank and I can handle this ourselves!”

And he’s watching this thirteen year old and fifteen year old walk off and he just looks up at the sky, sighs deeply, and says “gods dammit” before following them.

But like, I really would want to see Percy and Annabeth take on a mentoring role to the rest of the seven

The “kids”

I may or may not have just seen into the Spiderverse 

Like of course we can still have tension between them all. But I feel in a way this would have encouraged more growth between them all. 

I’m not sure if I would still include the Percy and Jason competition, or at least it would have to change into something like Jason feeling like he has to live up to this image of Percy. And Percy would of course be like “No, No you don’t.”

I would also love to see Percy and Annabeth having these moments of watching the young members and realizing “this was me.”

They see Piper and Jason awkwardly flirt and blush and they reminisce about “those old days”

When I talk about scripting and shifting, I imagine scripting as being similar to vacation planning.

Scripting = Planning the vacation, researching where you want to go and who you want to meet. When you get there, you can do and see way more, you can even extend the vacation, but this is just to map out where you’ll be going and prepare for that

Shifting = Getting on the plane to get to your destination. If it’s a sleep method, then that’s just falling asleep on the plane and (obviously) waking up once the plane lands.

i always love when people are surprised that not only is the danny phantom phandom still around, but we're extremely active and are ranked in the top 15 most popular fandoms on this site.

like yes while we haven't gotten any new content in the better part of two decades, we still have an active year-round events calendar, we highly encourage and engage in crossovers with other media, we have phandom accepted non-canon characters with backstories, we've developed various opposite-of-canon AU's and HC's like the corpse au or the dual obsession au and have created almost entire ecosystems of content in these niches, we've delved into the physics and science of many of the canon materials, we value writing just as much as we value art, we're open to debate and friendly banter about different canon/phanon ideas, we've fully fleshed out various "hinted at" canon ideas like cores and given them "rules" that are widely accepted among phanon, etc etc.

at this point we've just fully embraced death of the author. like cool, thank you nickelodeon for giving us this world, we're just gonna take it and do our own thing with it for the next, say, 17 or so years. we'll get back to you in a few decades with some notes. u can take it or leave it, we don't really care. you know where to find us ✌️

Headcanon:

Ghost money is a massive running joke among ghosts, since ghosts pay for things through either trading or favours.

Getting someone to work for ghost money is a common prank played on recently formed ghosts that are new to the zone and don’t know how things work yet.

It’s not just useless in the human world, it’s useless in the ghost zone too.

nothing brings me more peace than knowing that katniss everdeen spends the rest of her life eating warm cheese buns and being held every night by a man who loves her more than life itself. she deserves everything
