This post will be an introduction to scripting - you can also use scripting for manifesting but this post will mainly talk about scripting from a reality shifting point of view. I will start off with some general calcifications for the people who are new to reality shifting itself.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ˆ๐ฌ ๐‘๐ž๐š๐ฅ๐ข๐ญ๐ฒ ๐’๐ก๐ข๐Ÿ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ?

โ€œSimply put, reality shifting is the movement of your consciousness from one reality to another (...). Think of yourself not as one physical body but as one conscious being that expands over all realities. When you shift, you tune into that consciousness in another reality.โ€ - @astra-nomy

DR (desired reality) - The reality you want to shift to. You can have as many DRs as you want.

DR self (desired reality self) - This refers to yourself in your desired reality.

CR (current reality) or OR (original reality) - Itโ€™s the reality youโ€™re shifting from to your DRs and back. Basically, the reality you're living in right now.

WR (waiting room) - This is a reality you can make up and use as something like a lobby where you can go to before shifting to your DRs. You donโ€™t need a waiting room but many use it to spend some time there when they want to 'escape' their CR for a bit but also donโ€™t want to go to their DRs.

-> ๊œฑแด„ส€ษชแด˜แด›ษชษดษข

In the following paragraphs I will explain what scripting is and how to do it. I will also try to give you some ideas for scripting and answer some common questions.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ˆ๐ฌ ๐’๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐ ?

If you want to shift realities you can write a script to define what you would like to experience in your DR - how you should look like, how you want things to play out or how you want the reality to look like etc. Whatever you script will happen in your DR.

๐ƒ๐จ ๐ˆ ๐๐ž๐ž๐ ๐€ ๐’๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ญ?

No, not really. Scripting is completely optional and you donโ€™t need a script to shift. As shifting mainly operates on the bases of your subconsciousness, you donโ€™t need to script everything because your subconsciousness already knows what you want - because it's you. It's just that scripting helps most of us with visualizing certain things, organizing our thoughts and committing to our idea of what exactly we want to experience. Reading your script before attempting to shift can also make the process of shifting easier for you.

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐ƒ๐จ ๐ˆ ๐๐ž๐ž๐ ๐“๐จ ๐Š๐ž๐ž๐ฉ ๐ˆ๐ง ๐Œ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐–๐ก๐ž๐ง ๐ˆ ๐–๐š๐ง๐ญ ๐“๐จ ๐’๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ญ?

Actually, you donโ€™t need to keep anything in mind while scripting. There are no rules on how to do it and there are many different ways to script. Just find a way of scripting that you enjoy.

The format doesnโ€™t matter. You can find yourself a cute notebook and use it for scripting or you can make a digital script.

You donโ€™t need to care about your way of phrasing things. You donโ€™t need to write from a specific perspective. You can write it as if you're creating a character or you can write it from your point of view. Also, you donโ€™t need to write full sentences. You can just write โ€˜brown hairโ€™ instead of โ€˜I have brown hairโ€™ or you can just use an emoji that shows someone with brown hair - it really doesn't matter how you do it as long as YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU MEAN.

It is not always about writing, you can also use pictures to express what you mean. For example you can make a moodboard or create a file on your phone with pictures representing what you want. Or you can even make a presentation or a short video.

You donโ€™t need to script every detail! The length of your script doesnโ€™t matter! You could just write โ€˜I have brown hair.โ€™ as the only thing to script and anything else in your DR would still include all the other things you want. I often see people who get anxious when they try to shift because they feel like they havenโ€™t scripted enough - that is totally unreasonable! As I said before, your subconsciousness already knows what you want and making a script is not even necessary to begin with. So please be careful with getting obsessed with making your script โ€˜perfectโ€™. If you canโ€™t decide on something just leave it open instead of being unhappy with what you scripted- your subconsciousness will fill in all the gaps. Just make it enjoyable for yourself!

๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ ๐‚๐š๐ง ๐ˆ ๐ˆ๐ง๐œ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ž ๐ˆ๐ง ๐Œ๐ฒ ๐’๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ญ?

You can include anything you want! But I will give you some ideas on what to include but just know that they are not necessary.

๊œฑสœษช๊œฐแด›ษชษดษข แด€๊œฐ๊œฐษชส€แดแด€แด›ษชแดษด๊œฑ:

Here you can write down just normal shifting affirmations. You can also script how you shift like with a certain method or with a certain action like tapping your wrist free times and saying the name of your DR whatever.

สแดแดœส€ แด…ส€:

You can define how your DR looks like, what the living circumstances are, you can make up new stuff in your DR (especially if you're shifting to a series/movie). You can script that racism or homophobia and stuff like that doesn't exist there or just that everyone is being treated right. If your DR is based on a movie/series you can script that certain events donโ€™t happen and you can make up new events/situationships. You can script certain scenarios you want to happen. Also, some people write down their first shifting moment - when and where they shift to and how they want it to play out. I also saw some people writing down stuff like โ€˜No one finds my behavior weird the first time a shiftโ€™ etc.

๊œฑแด€๊œฐแด‡ แดกแดส€แด…๊œฑ/แด€แด„แด›ษชแดษด๊œฑ:

A safe word in shifting is a word or action or phrase you can say when you quickly want to go back to your CR or WR! It works instantly and it can be anything you want - many use something weird that you wouldnโ€™t say normally in your daily life but something you can easily remember (something like โ€˜Hakuna matataโ€™ or โ€˜Back to the ghettoโ€™ lmao). If you want, you can also script that your safe words will only work when you want it to and/or you can script that you always remember your safe words.

แด›ษชแดแด‡ ส€แด€แด›ษชแด/แด›ษชแดแด‡ แด‡Qแดœษชแด แด€สŸแด‡ษดแด„แด‡:

Here you define how much time passes in one reality (CR/DR) when youโ€™re in another reality. For example, you could just script that โ€˜1 Week in your DR equals 30 minutes in your CRโ€™ or that โ€˜1 year in your DR equals 1 hour in your CRโ€™. Also, you can script that no time passes in your CR when you're in one of your DRs. And the same goes the other way around (how much time passes in your DRs when youโ€™re in your CR). There are some rumors going around that a huge time difference would strain your body once you come back to your CR but that doesnโ€™t necessarily have to be the case. You could script that everytime you shift back to your CR youโ€™re well rested and healthy - or something like that.

สแดแดœส€ แด…ส€ ๊œฑแด‡สŸ๊œฐ:

You can list personal details (name, age, birth date etc.). You can describe how you look like, what your personality is like, what kind of powers or skills you have, what kind of background you have, your life circumstances, your housing, your family etc.

ษชแดแดแดœษดษชแด›ส/๊œฑแด€๊œฐแด‡แด›ส แด€๊œฐ๊œฐษชส€แดแด€แด›ษชแดษด:

Really useful is also to script a certain immunity. I know that many people want to shift to certain realities that are a bit dangerous and where you have to fight and stuff so you could script something like โ€˜I am immune to being attacked/hurt. I am always safe and protected. I am immortal. I am immune poison or dr*gs.โ€™ etc. I would also advise you maybe to script that you are immune to bringing trauma from your DRs to your CR and back or that your mental health stays unaffected. Also, you could think about what you would like to happen in the case of you dying in one of your DRs. I, for example, have scripted that I always wake up in my waiting room once I die in one of my DRs. Itโ€™s pretty much up to you what safety affirmation you use and it I guess it also depends on where you're shifting to.

แด„สœแด€ส€แด€แด„แด›แด‡ส€๊œฑ แด€ษดแด… ส€แด‡สŸแด€แด›ษชแดษด๊œฑสœษชแด˜๊œฑ:

You can make up new characters in your DR or include people from your CR (like your best friend). You can script their appearance, personality, abilities, your connections with etc. The same goes for characters that are already in your DR, you can change them completely or you can script how you are connected to them, what kind of relationship you have with them or how you get to meet them etc.

แดแด‡แดแดส€ษชแด‡๊œฑ:

It could also be interesting for you to think about how you deal with your memories. I saw someone writing down that they forget their CR memories for a certain period of time to really experience life in their DR and then get their memories back at a certain time (for example after they went through the main plot). You can also script that when youโ€™re in your DR that your CR is a distant memory but youโ€™re aware that you need to return to your CR. Regarding your life in your CR: You could script that the memories of your DRs are stored in a library in your Waiting Room or you can script that your DR memories are just like fainted memories (like that of dreams) in your CR - so that it doesnโ€™t affect you too much in your daily CR life. If you have romantic/close relationships with people in your DR, I would recommend to script that you donโ€™t feel these feelings as intense or not at all when you're in your CR (so that you donโ€™t struggle with missing them or get โ€˜homesickโ€™ in your CR). Another tip from me is that if you have a waiting room, try to shift to your WR first. There you can process the experiences of your DR and try to rest for some time and mentally prepare yourself for your CR life before shifting back to your CR - because many often struggle in their daily CR life after shifting back especially if they stayed in their DR for a long period of time - and you can avoid that if you give yourself enough time in (for example) a waiting room.

แดแด›สœแด‡ส€:

As there is no limit to what you can script you can also include magical items (magical watch/bag etc) for your DR or stuff like โ€˜I donโ€™t get my period in my DR.โ€™ to make your life more easier there.

๐’๐œ๐ซ๐ข๐ฉ๐ญ๐ข๐ง๐  ๐“๐จ๐จ๐ฅ๐ฌ

Again, itโ€™s your choice on how to do it. Here Iโ€™ll just list some ideas for inspiration.

notion (itโ€™s pretty famous in the shifting community and you can create your own templates and so on)

google docs

paper notebook

canva

pinterest (for pictures and for creating pinboards)

tumblr (I like creating moodboards like this or this )

picrew (for creating characters or scripting appearances)

artbreeder (also for creating faces and for defining your looks)

powerpoint (for making a presentations)

and many more :)

๐’๐ข๐๐ž ๐๐จ๐ญ๐ž

You donโ€™t need to feel bad for what you script. Itโ€™s your choice. You can decide what you want to experience. Just keep in mind that you will really LIVE in that reality you scripted. So, donโ€™t underestimate this and stay safe! <3

I hope this post is helpful to you guys. If you have more questions regarding scripting, I will add it to this post! - Just send me your questions. :)

it is appalling to me how impossible it is to talk to my parents about the palestinian-israeli war. my dad is catholic irishman, and my mom is ashkenazi jewish from poland. i am an only child. we are agnostic. both sides of my family have experienced genocide.

one of my relatives in ireland once had a hatchet thrown at him for being catholic, my grandad was once fired after less than three hours on a job because they found out he is catholic. my great-grandma on my mom's side is the only known survivor of the holocaust in my family.

yet, as soon as the palestinian-israeli war started, such historical context was tossed aside in order to put "democracy" up on a pillar.

i am angry, i am sad, and i just wish that there were people out there that i could talk with who would understand me and my views.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

Production costs aside, clothes tell the audience about how characters think of themselves.

Loki's shoes in the S2 finale raised a lot eyebrows, but I find them quite fitting: they are comfortable, practical, and most importantly, they are humble. The camera brings this to our attention to communicate his evolution in character.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)
LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

Loki has always dressed well, often times ostentatiously. Whether he is at war, passing as a Midgardian, or held captive as an Asgardian prisoner, Loki communicates his social class and sense of superiority through clothing. For him, clothing armors his fragile sense of self and against others' opinions of him. He intends to be perceived as deadly charming but ultimately unapproachable.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

His attire in the first Thor movie is roughly equal parts green and gold, signifying his royal status. His style is dressed down for his brother's misadventures in Jotenheim, yet overall both silhouettes are lofty, princely, but not hardened or threatening.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

In Avengers, Loki's look has more black and leather, with exaggerated emphasis on his shoulders meant to intimidate as he assumes the role of villain. The silhouette is very hard, heavy, and edgy. Gold detailing is prevalent as well. Combined with the goat's helm, this is Loki's most pretentious outfit, which speaks to an undercurrent of low self-esteem and a compulsive need to impress. There's no mistaking he is the main antagonist of the story.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

In Thor 2, Loki's attire is similar to Avengers but the overcoat is exchanged for a less bulky version (perhaps conveying he is less guarded now that the effects of the Mind Stone are no longer influencing him). Loki's role likewise pivots from the harsh lines of a villain to the more flexible edges of a reluctant villain-turned-ally. This aligns with his character arc when he protects both Jane and Thor, seemingly sacrificing himself.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

In Thor 3, Loki's silhouette is streamlined even further. The overcoat is done away with in favor of what appears to be a leather doublet, pauldrons, and vambraces. Gold accents are minimal. While stylish, Loki's attire is more practical than showy, and his helm serves the dual purpose of protection as well as weaponry. At this point in his arc, Loki has become a full antihero, joining his brother's side in rescuing as many Asgardians as possible, and eventually dying in a vain bid to protect Thor from Thanos.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

The TVA does something very fun and interesting in taking away Loki's ability to dress himself. Since Loki cannot use his magic in the TVA, he is forced to wear the same clothing as his captor/advocate, who eventually becomes his best friend and peer.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

Perhaps, on a subconscious level, this helped Loki to feel included. We know by his pwn admission that Loki fears being alone and desperately craves a sense of belonging. At the same time, he intentionally dresses to put people at a distance, thereby protecting himself from potential rejection at the cost of isolating himself further.

When Mobius gives him that TVA jacket for the first time, Loki seems uncharacteristically pleased. It is not an attractive jacket by any means, yet he neither scoffs at it nor refuses to wear it. Instead, Loki puts it on and is content when Mobius says it looks "smart" on him. He continues to dress like Mobius and, indeed, mimic some of his mannerisms such as placing his hands on his hips. Without clothing meant to push people away, Loki opens up, has more fun, and makes friends.

LET'S TALK ABOUT LOKI'S SHOES (ACTUALLY, HIS WHOLE WARDROBE)

Loki's choice of attire as he assumes the mantle of God of Stories (and time) is fascinating. Setting aside the clear design inspiration from the comics, Loki's silhouette is soft, remarkably so. His colors are earthy hues of green, and the only bit of flare are the light gold trimming and crown. The look brings to mind the garb of sages and wise wizards rather than royalty or warriors. He's powerful yet approachable because there is humility in his bearing. And that humility springs from a well of healthy self-worth, self-love, and a deep love for others.

The shoes are not meant to be attractive. They are meant to help him ascend the throne, nothing more.

while this is an absolutely great take on this issue, and i completely understand you frustration with the showrunners for royally screwing up our favorite character (as we probably all do on this side of the fandom), i would like to quickly remind the class of that time tom mentioned in an interview that he only had ~5% input in the series despite being an executive producer who should've had much more power (i really wish that i was able to find the picture of it that i had found as a source but i've somehow lost it in my files).

i personally cannot find it in myself to blame him for the destruction of his character because he has shown in multiple instances how much he cares about loki and his story (see his knowledge of loki in the comics as well as his understanding of norse mythology, especially compared to the rest of the cast in the thor movies alone). all of the issues that have occurred after 2013 usually can be directly connected back to the writers fundementally misunderstanding (or just not giving a fuck about) loki, or the director changing things last minute to make him look bad - as op said above about nerfing and deleting crucial scenes for his character, even since the very first movie.

as i previously said, your feelings on the matter are completely valid, and i respect your opinion. however, based on the information that i have as a fan (because we will likely never know about all of the decisions that went into this), it is unfair to be blaming tom for decisions that were originally out of his hands, or even ones that were taken away from him.

EDIT: I FOUND THE PICTURE GUYS

While This Is An Absolutely Great Take On This Issue, And I Completely Understand You Frustration With

Any time I see someone say "Marvel knew what they were doing when they cast Tom Hiddleston" I feel a bit like...they didn't though? I think you're projecting some 4D chess grandmaster stuff onto Marvel Studios that doesn't really exist.

Tom was cast via Kenneth Branagh and yes it was PHENOMENAL casting but let's not pretend like Marvel Studios didn't spend the next near-decade and a half deleting Loki's scenes, killing him then instantly reviving him, deleting yet more of his scenes, killing him again, retconning killing him, sticking him off-screen for almost half a decade, removing yet another scene and not even compensating his fans with a DVD extra, killing him again, then suddenly remembering he's popular (again) and coming up with something to use a now-for-real-dead character as the lead but it wasn't exactly the same character (just another version of him) and now they're apparently done with him again when it's pretty obvious he'll be wheeled out of that tree at some point.

I love Loki. I love Tom's portrayal of Loki but the only people who have consistently genuinely seemed to care about the character are the fans. Because we've been given nothing but crumbs by Marvel and yet produce all this beautiful fan art, fan fic and meta. Marvel have just kinda stumbled around Loki like some perpetually confused pigeon in a hall of mirrors that keeps crashing into its own reflection shrugging "huh...what IS this? Ooh shiny!"

Knew what they were doing? More like lucked out with a very talented and charismatic actor and a dedicated fanbase that formed 2011-12 and is somehow, despite everything still here.
