THE PRINCESS & THE FROG ✶ ASK GAME
౨ৎ shifting ask game inspired by disney's the princess and the frog to explore your desired realities. ( reblog for asks )
﹙🪜﹚ : TIANA'S PLACE . . . what is your big dream? the goal you've spent all your life working towards? why is it your biggest desire? who inspired it?
﹙🎺﹚ : LOVABLE LOUIS . . . who is the dorkiest person you know? someone so naive it's concerning but somehow still part of their charm? where did you meet them? perhaps in a bayou while you were transformed into a frog?
﹙🎀﹚ : PRETTY PRINCESS . . . who is your best friend? the one person who would kiss a frog just to get you want you've always wanted? who picks you up after you've fallen into a table of beignets?
﹙🥄﹚ : GOOD FOOD . . . what connects you to the people around you? is it as simple as a good homemade dinner? maybe a similar hobby? the shared memories?
﹙💋﹚ : FROGGY KISSES . . . how has your relationship with your s/o developed? were you reluctant to your feelings at first? did you go from bickering to locking eyes for a little too long? did every one else know expect you two?
﹙🃏﹚ : ON THE OTHER SIDE . . . have you ever gotten your cards read? gotten your future detailed? was it something you wanted to hear? or something you now dread?
﹙✨﹚ : BRIGHT EVANGELINE . . . who makes your life bright as the northern star? the guiding light in the chaos?
i love thinking about the magical careers i will pursue after hogwarts. like a curse breaker turned unspeakable????? i finally get to investigate the secrets of the universe and whatnot with magic?????? and i’m cool and mysterious because the whole thing about unspeakables is that they literally can not talk about the work they do???? and its not even just that. Being a curse breaker is literally being a treasure hunting archeologist. That travels around the world to collect and restore magical artifacts that may even be archaic at times . its !!!! so !!!! cool !!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAA
SO Accurate omg
which ao3 tag are you?
how can we stop expecting to wake up in cr after shifting attempt?
how to stop expecting to wake up in your cr ,
well . . . you never 'wake up' in your desired reality. you don't arrive. there is no terminal gate, no sudden cut to black followed by credits rolling on a new world. if you're waiting for the crash, you've misunderstood the flight. but that's semantics. anyways.
shifting isn't an event. it's not a rupture, it's not a lottery win, it's not a punishment or miracle. it's continuity. like breathing, like blinking. what happens when you shift is not that you go somewhere else. it's that you stop arguing with where you are. and by the time you notice, the scenery's already changed.
so you don't wake up in your cr because your cr isn't a separate bedroom you break into once you've behaved enough. your cr is the bed you've always been in. your cr is now. it's here. it's this. but you're still trying to see it through the peephole of your old logic. through scarcity and suspense and the habit of believing everything real has to hurt.
the expectation to 'wake up' comes from the same place as superstition. it's a theatre of reward. you're still expecting it to feel deserved. to arrive with trumpets. to be marked by something. you're still trying to prove something to the doorman in your mind who thinks heaven has a guest list.
but your reality doesn't need fanfare. it doesn't need to knock. it's not late. it's not reluctant. it's not waiting on you to be more visual, more perfect, more devotional. you are not an unpaid intern at the church of quantum theory. you're not performing piety for a state change. you're not a myth. you're a chooser.
so . . . stop expecting to wake up. instead, assume you already did. yesterday. last week. two months ago. during lunch. when you put your phone down. when you said 'this is done.' the moment passed already. you missed it because you were squinting for a sign.
anywho. reality doesn't tap you on the shoulder. it really just expects to reflect something you've given. either the belief that you're here or you're there. your thoughts materialise.
I didn't think I would have to say this but I am obviously against transphobia, terfs do not interact. I can't believe that there's a terf shifting community. If you are a terf, transphobic, homophobic or have any bigoted ideology for that matter do not interact with me.

it's just your mind moving into different experiential realities based on what you're aligned with at any given second.
you are already doing it. constantly. every time you make a decision, change your opinion, react to something differently, you are mentally stepping into a different version of your life.
you pick tea instead of coffee, you're now in the branch where you drank tea.
you believe you're bad at maths, you're now living the sequence where that belief colours your whole experience of maths.
you decide "i'm lucky" and actually internalise it, you start living out a reality structured by that assumption.
shifting is not special. it's literally just continuous relocation of consciousness through choice and belief, tiny or huge.
most people shift so microscopically they don't notice. they call it "change," "growth," "bad luck," "mood swings," but really it's just consciousness slipping sideways into another experiential stream where the variables are a little different.
big shifting, like waking up in another reality, is just doing that same thing but deliberately, with intent, with commitment.
instead of unconsciously slipping into a slightly different branch because you chose a different lunch, you are consciously saying:
"ok. now i experience myself in this completely different set of conditions."
and your brain, because it is literally a data-processing organ, not a fixed meat box, accepts it when you make it real enough to override old data. are you still with me !?!?!?
you shift every second based on decisions, reactions, beliefs.
most shifts are small, unnoticed, cumulative. "big" shifts are just conscious, deliberate relocations into drastically different experiential data. it's not magic. it's normal. it's mechanical. it's the default setting of existence.
every moment you're experiencing a version of your life.
it's not THEE life. it's A life, the one you're tuned into right now based on what you expect, believe, and focus on.
when you shift, you're just moving into a different version of your life experience.
not a new world. not a portal. not a dream.
just a different set of experiences your mind is capable of locking onto, like changing playlists.
you do it already, every time you change your mind, act differently, even notice something new.
you're not jumping through dimensions like a marvel movie, you're just moving your awareness into a slightly or hugely different path that was always accessible.
small shifts = when you start liking sushi after hating it.
big shifts = when you wake up and the whole setup feels different because you deliberately chose a new pattern to lock into.
your experiences are flexible. your mind moves through them automatically. deliberate shifting is just taking the wheel.
getting into the big shifts, or living in a completely different setup, starts with the same process as the small ones: some sort of belief and assumption.
if you're shifting into a different experience, whether that's hogwarts, a marvel universe, or a whole new version of your life, it's because you choose to believe that it's possible. just like you decide you're lucky or bad at maths, you decide you're already living in that new life.
it's not about waiting for something to "happen" or needing a cosmic shift. it's simply deciding that this new life is what you are now aligning with.
the key to big shifts is assumption.
you've been shifting already, but the experience you're living in right now is the one your mind is locked into. to get to something drastically different, you just need to fully assume that it's yours. it's like deciding what you're going to eat for lunch. one day it's pasta, the next it's sushi.
it doesn't need to be a complicated, mystical process. you just shift your awareness by choosing the assumption that the new setup is already happening for you.
why it's possible to wake up in a different world or timeline: your brain doesn't care if you're imagining or physically experiencing something, it will treat both as equally real.
once you decide that this new life is your life, your brain accepts it. you're not "leaving" one world and going to another, you're simply locking into a different path that was always available.
everything already exists. it's just a matter of tuning your mind to it.
once you assume it's possible, it's like pressing play on a movie. you commit to the experience, and your brain accepts it because it's designed to process whatever you focus on as reality.
the difference between a small shift and a big one is the depth of your focus and how much you align with that new assumption. the more you assume you're in this new reality, the more real it feels.
stop looking at the shift as something you need to "arrive" at or wait for. it's happening now.
you don't need to fight your current experience; you just need to choose to experience the new one. you get there by focusing on the new belief, like a switch, but it's not a sudden jolt. it's a steady, quiet shift of awareness that says: this is my life now.
and the result: your mind doesn't draw boundaries between worlds. once you decide to step into a different version of your life, all that's required is the commitment to live inside it.
the reason it works with fantasy worlds, with totally different setups, is that your mind knows no limits. if you can think it and fully believe it's yours, it is yours. shifting is just you consciously moving into another path you've decided to live out.
(i will copy and paste something i said previously, but it is 100% applicable here)
our brain files things under "real" and "not real" as if it's got an actual authority on the matter. but. it doesn't have any proof.
your brain doesn't have eyes. now i know you'll say that you do.
but what do your eyes actually do? they see things. cool. but . your eyes don't see truth. they see whatever your brain tells them is real.
example: ever woken up from a dream and for a few seconds, you still thought it was real? fully convinced? because your brain believed it, so your eyes went along with it. your heart raced, your hands shook, maybe you even felt pain. all from something that wasn't real.
or ever had deja vu? where you swear something has happened before, but you know it hasn’t? again. your brain is filling in gaps. deciding what's real for you.
so when you say, i know i'm in my cr because i can see it, what you’re really saying is, i know i'm in my cr because my brain is telling me i am.
but your brain is just following a script. one it's been running since birth. what happens when you stop following it? when you stop taking its word for it?
when you ask what if i already shifted? your brain freezes. because it doesn't actually know. it just assumes. and when it starts to doubt itself, that's when you slip through.
how do you break out of it: stop trying to make reality change. assume it already has. sit in the knowing that you are already where you want to be. no proving, no waiting, no searching. just accepting. reality bends to what you accept as fact.
the only thing keeping you in your cr is that you keep assuming it's real.
it's not because some people are chosen or have magic brains. it's not because they "tried harder" or found a secret method. it's because some people assume they've already done it, and some keep looking around for proof.
when you're still checking, doubting, testing, your mind is holding onto the idea that you're not there yet.
even if you're doing all the techniques right, if the feeling underneath. it is "i'm trying to shift" instead of "i already have," you're holding the experience of waiting, not having.
people who wake up in their drs didn't stay stuck in the "trying" mindset.
it's not about how badly you want it. it's about whether you accept it without needing anything outside of you to confirm it.
your brain doesn't need to see it first. it needs to believe it first. seeing follows.
to the people who haven't shifted: you're not that wrong, broken, or bad at it. it's just that you're mind is still split, half believing, half checking. half stepping into it, half pulling back. and that's human. that's normal. but the second you stop needing to "see it to believe it" and start trusting the inner knowing, you'll slip through.
technically, no.
but practically???? sometimes, yes.
here's why: shifting isn't about how hard you push. it's about what you accept as true. if you could snap into a full-body, no-doubt belief that you already shifted, right now, you wouldn't need persistence at all. you'd be done. locked in. experiencing it.
but, because most people have years of habits, doubts, conditioning, it's not always instant. the mind wants to fall back into what feels familiar.
not because it's evil. not because it's trying to sabotage you. just because that's how the brain saves energy: it runs the old script unless you feed it a new one enough times to override it.
not your doubts. not your overthinking. not your past. not your fears. not your age. not how long you've "failed." not your mental health. not the fact that you woke up in your same bed today. not how "stuck" you feel. not your logic. not your friends, your parents, your teachers, your surroundings. not your subconscious. not the clock. not the calendar. not "missing the void." not "doing it wrong."
nothing.
because shifting isn't something you earn. it's not a reward you unlock after completing a list of tasks or becoming a better, calmer, smarter version of yourself. it's not a door guarded.
shifting is just moving your awareness to a different experience. you are the only authority. your assumption is the key, the lock, the door, the floorboards.
even your resistance can't stop it, because the second you decide, even if a part of you is screaming “this is stupid,” your mind begins tilting toward the new path.
moment by moment.
shift by shift.
breath by breath.
the only thing that delays it is believing that something can delay it.
but if you drop that???? if you stop believing anything outside of you has the power???? you move. immediately. automatically. effortlessly.
you cannot be denied access to something that was never closed. you cannot be blocked from a process that is natural to you. you cannot fail at something that is built into the way you already exist.
you shift because you decide to. that's it. that's all.
if you feel like quitting shifting, read upon this: post about quitting<3
shifting isn't some cosmic lottery. it's not about waiting for a sign or chasing a feeling. it's not about methods or hours or perfect conditions.
it's just a choice. and then you live like it's true, even if everything around you still smells like your old life for a minute.
you don't owe the old version of your life anything. you don't need to explain yourself to your senses. you don't need to argue with your thoughts. you just decide and you stay decided. even when it's boring. even when it's slow. even when your brain wants to reroute you back into doubt.
the shift doesn't happen because you begged for it. the shift happens because you stopped needing permission to believe you already had it.
no chasing. no proving. no waiting. just deciding.
