Okay. Made the same post on Tumblr, got no answer. Long story short. I'm aphantasic with joint pain that makes it hard to stay in the same position for a long time, been trying to shift for 1+ year (2 years ? Almost 3 ? Can't remember well but... Quite some time) with absolutely no results. No mini-shifts, no dreams lucid or not.

I used to get teeny tiny symptoms like tingling, white flashes, falling. Don't feel them anymore.

I tried counting to 100, affirmations, void state, subliminals. Out of despair, I also used the LIFA app that's been on my phone for months, untouched. I laid on my back, tried fetal and starfish positions, listening to music, tried shifting to two other DRs. Nothing works. I know you should "think and feel you're already in your DR" but I have no idea how to do that. I just lay there for two hours, until I feel stupid, start thinking that whole shifting thingy is made up and give up.

In case it matters, my three DRs are :

• My hometown but in the 23th century and I'm a Vulcan from Star Trek
• The kingdom of Lorule, from Zelda
• A filk convention in the US, in the end of the 20th century, where I'd meet the filk singer Leslie Fish So I'm starting to think I might be totally unable to shift, or that it's not a real thing and just a running gag to make fun of people who don't know, like the lady on Insragram who "sheds her skin" and that kind of stuff. Yeah I have paranoiac tendencies of some kind.

I'm in need of guidance and tips.

So. I'm a Vulcan from Star Trek (please don't give tips for other meanings of "Vulcan" I've already gotten quite a lot). I've been feeling pretty bad species dysphoria recently and I'm looking for euphoria/self-care tips.

I don't know if maybe it's not the right place to ask I'll delete it.

Oh I'd also be very happy to get euphoria tips for a Yuga fictionkin (from Zelda) or Koppaite cambikin (from Pikmin) but I'd be surprised if anyone even knows about these things.

Thank you in advance 💚

So. I'm a median system and I'm a furry. I want to make a fursona but I've already tried 3+ times and each time, either it's a headmate's personnality in a furry form or it's a single headmate's sona. Which is fine but I want to make a sona of ME, the common conscioussness blanket self whatever.
I already have 3 fursonas turned into OCS, a cat, a spider and a moth that's not even finished. It's becoming annoying.

Each time I try to make a sona for me it turns out it's NOT for me. I want to make a fursuit asap, or maybe buy one but making one seems fun, and I can't risk making a suit of a sona I don't really like, or some headmates straight up hate.

If anyone has found a solution to a similar or identical situation please help me.

Pretty silly question so I'll explain.

I'm making a Koppaite conlang (vusut kop'alsit), it's still in the very early stages of conception but there's a few posts on Tumblr if you're interested.

The first thing people often ask about languages and conlang is how to say all kinds of profanity. And I need some. They're often made from stuff people consider bad (shit, fuck, etc.) or religious stuff though I don't think Koppaites are very religious people XD

I think "famine" would be a cuss word and it also uses click sounds as an "innocent" swear word. But i need other ideas, also about insults and stuff, of what would be considered bad or taboo or whatever on Koppai and thought maybe someone here had ideas ?

This is mostly an update on these two posts here and here too.

I changed therapists, and now see a better one. She said what I was living was definitely not normal and we're studying it. Turns out, eh eh, it's plurality.

We're now around ten identified members (Leslie, Lyūketh, T'Spark, Velka, Winona, River, Pom, Stella, two or three versions of "me") and even more unidentified guys.

We're very blurry and hivemind-y, and median ! We got a system name and are out in a few places. I still experience memory resets though, and frequent memory loss.

We still don't have any internal communication but we understand each other better so it's very nice.

Just wanted to thank internet folks for encouragin' me to do proper research and not believe my past not-trustable therapist. Eh eh.

I've always been quite a Brittany fan since I was a kid. Drew her dozens of times, even wanted to write a fic about her at the time but never did. So when I came across Pikmin communities I was quite surprised to see how hated the girl was.

Well well well the reason is I only played Pikmin 3 in French.

And today I decided to read her english Piklopedia entries just for fun and I realized, oh boy she's a bitch ! She's absolutely terrible in English ! Way worse than she is in French !
Won't stop me from loving her but, eh, I now understand XD

So I'm working on that fic about Louie's childhood and backstory, and I try to make the narrative style similar to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time because I like it and I think it suits Louie well.

Anyways. I have no freaking ideas for a title. Can anyone help me ? Could be anything, serious, silly, poetic, I just need a title.
