Mason's shifting cafe

Just a little heads up for everyone! I currently have over 700 asks on Tumblr, and multiple dms/requests both on here and on Tiktok. Please, always feel free to ask me anything, but keep in mind it might take me a while to get to it! I'm trying to balance my life/health with helping people on here, and some days I have more energy than others.

In no way am I ever (purposely) ignoring anyone, nor is any question too much. I just get more questions than I can keep up with, and it might happen that during a period where I'm more exhausted, I don't end up answering everything. You can always resend your question or try again, really I don't do it on purpose, I promise.

As a slight update to this: I'll most likely prioritize newer asks, just because I get so many. If it's been a while and I didn't answer you yet, please don't hesitate to try again!

Hello! No need to apologise. I'm an open book!

I have gotten tired of existing, but not of existence. Let me explain.

I'm sure you know the feeling of having a hard day, time, of being hit with punch after punch with barely any time to breathe. I've had many moments where life just felt so heavy and part of me wished it would just all... poof, you know?

Everyone recognises those rough days where life just feels impossible and for a moment, or sometimes longer, it just feels like not existing would be better than the cards you're dealt.

But I have never gotten tired existence as a whole. In fact, I feel like I'm far, far away from ever feeling done with it.

Also sorry for asking so many questions but this really feels like i can talk to a celebrity and im going a bit crazy w it (ーー;)

I am disabled! A tragedy, truly. I don't often really keep my actual disability. Truth be told, my body and health here are a wreck, in most cases I cannot even be touched without it causing pain.

If I fall onto the ground, I can't be picked up or helped upright. If I get an injury, I can't be carried without it bruising and hurting me all over. That's not the type of life I wish for myself even in other realities.

BUT.

I know, there it is.

I am a sucker for the ''he saved me,'' trope, and for the ''he helped me through a hard time,'' trope. And lucky me, my husband loves being there for me and feeling like that saviour. So we have had a bunch of drs where my disability from this place showed itself differently, and was more like an illness that, in some cases, could be healed. That way we could have our little trope, while still having the reassurance that I'll be fine and healthy eventually.

However, most of the time I'm completely healthy. Can't be arsed to deal with this shit in every life I live, and it's not exactly convenient to need a wheelchair when you're in medieval times. So it's only for some occassions!

So many to talk about! Recently Daeron and I shifted to a few time travelling drs. One where I travelled back into the past to a kingdom he ruled, one where he travelled from that time period to modern times and met me there. We shifted to HTTYD, to a roadtrip dr with our dragons. Kind of like a better cr? Also a second kind of better cr, but a bit different. A dr where he was a dragon shapeshifter. A very whimsical place with magic. We spent a lot of time in our waiting room with our twins and youngest son. Our youngest son, who, by the way, is likely a young deity who was put under our care by another deity to guide him into his destined life. We shifted to Ranger's Apprentice a few times. A modern royalty dr. And the list goes on and on and on.

I visit your titok page religiously everyday ,so that's my search bar automatically

(Ily sooo much thank for everything 🙏🙏🙏🙏😼)

i saw your post where you said your first shift happened through daydreaming, and then after that you started shifting more and eventually learned how to do it intentionally. i feel like i'm kind of at that stage now, so i was wondering what that process was like for you.

i feel kinda silly asking because i KNOW i can do it, i've shifted before and i've probably consumed everything i ever could ab shifting but i'm still struggling to actually make that jump into shifting consistently. so anything about that process, or anything you could share that'd be so helpful thank youu :>

Hello! Thank you, I hope the same for you!

For me that switch kind of came when I had shifted a bunch of times, but I realised that, when shifting (half) asleep, the reoccurring problem was that I scared myself back. The confusion of actually being somewhere else, led to me consistently shifting back within the first few seconds or minutes, and simultaneously I started noticing how my not-shifting-just-daydreaming method started becoming more and more about shifting, I'd focus way too much on any sign that it was happening again, which defeated the whole purpose of me shifting because I wasn't actually trying to.

That's when I decided to make a change.

At that point I already knew that I could shift, I just wasn't entirely sure how to achieve it at a moment that I decided I wanted it.

So I stuck with my original approach, shifting without necessarily forcing it. But at the same time I switched to awake shifting only, and deciding the time and place when I wanted it.

I'd do small exercises, listen to music, close my eyes for a few minutes and envision something from a dr, keep my eyes open and watch the world change around me, daydream a little, meditate, count, affirm. Anything that felt right in the moment. The whole point was to not put pressure on myself over it. I simply did what I enjoyed, when I felt like it, and kept trying to see shifting as a bonus, not the only goal.

Obviously this didn't always work, I still got frustrated, I still forced it too much sometimes, and I still got disappointed if it didn't work for some time.

But I slowly started seeing an increase in results! Sometimes only symptoms or small changes, like feeling the wind, seeing the sun, or hearing the trees. Other times I got bigger results, leading to almost or fully shifting.

Eventually I had my first proper shifts where I decided to come back myself, and that was a huge milestone! After that I got way more confident, and I also got the practice of shifting between other realities, which helped with my mindset here as well.

Then over time, naturally, shifting became easier, quicker, and it stopped being something I really worried about or tried to force. Which brings us to the present, where I'm in a blessed position where, luckily enough, I don't struggle at all with shifting!

i'm currently in a very coffee mood but my body is hurting too much to get up and make a cup for myself (chronic pain core 🤝) and suddenly it made me wonder, what is your all-time favorite type of coffee, across all realities you've been, and what do you put in it?

i prefer medium roasts with some milk, and both artificial sweetener and a little sugar. it's the perfect blend for me. ☕️

Hello! Thank you :)

Being in a coffee mood and unable to actually make coffee is so real and relatable! I feel you.

I honestly don't think I have one favourite coffee across all realities, for one simple reason. All my lives, and therefore, preferences, are different! Which doesn't mean that at the core I'm not the same person, but in a place where I grew up in medieval times in relatively poor settings, I'm more likely to prefer something really strong, whereas in those same times where I grew up more rich, I might prefer coffee with milk!

Similarly for modern times, if I grew up with stomach issues, I am more likely to prefer something with milk and generally softer on my stomach, whereas if I did not, I also lean more towards espressos or lungos!

I think that's also the beauty of it all. Across so many different realities, I can appreciate so many different ways of drinking coffee! Sometimes I'll discover something I did not like prior to shifting to a reality, but then grow immensely fond of afterwards. How fun!

Yes I have! Multiple times actually.

I have shifted to be a dog, cat, ant, one time I was a fish but that was such a fever dream. Uh, definitely more.

The longest periods I've spent as an animal was as a Rithen. Which is my husband's domain! He has been shapeshifting into one for MILLENIA, and in some of our drs he likes to share the ability with me! A Rithen is a cryptid wolf-like creature from our home reality. (Well technically speaking they're called Riths, it's a Rithen when something shapeshifts into one)

How are you feeling? I hope you are better by now 💞🫂

Hello! I'm so sorry for my late response to this. Honestly my body is just failing big time right now. Both my ankles, my knees, my hands, and one of my elbows is injured. I definitely feel a bit better because the pain in my hands is more manageable. But overall? Body is fucking me over hard.

i may be wrong, but you've died in this reality, right? i remember seeing a post about it. how do you know you've died? and how you shift to a reality where you didn't?

srry if it's a weird or uncomfortable question </33

Hello! Thank you!

TW: Talks about dying

I have indeed, died, yes! Multiple times LMAO. Last time was a few weeks ago. I was taking these new antibiotics because I had a bunch of infections, I did a lot that day, and I was very tired. Then when I was about to go to sleep, I started getting this weird pain in my hands, arms, chest and neck. It kinda felt like restless legs, but in my upper body instead. I was too tired to care, and fell asleep anyway. Then next thing I know, I woke up, and my husband, Daeron, was standing next to my bed. (he doesn't exist physically here)

The conversation went something like;

Me: ''Am I dreaming right now?''

Daeron: ''No...''

Me: ''Oh....''

-

So anyway, I stood up, looked back, and saw my own corpse just laying there. I would say it was less shocking than I expected, but seeing myself just laying there with my mouth open and everything was a little 'cringe.'

That specific time, we shifted to our waiting room afterwards, and I was so sick of this place that I kinda decided to never come back. We spent a loooong time just not even thinking about this reality. At some point I changed my mind obviously, but when I did, I just shifted back to a version of this place where I didn't die that night.

In the past I've also accidentally immediately shifted back to a version of this place where I didn't die, or went to some kind of afterlife first before coming back here.

Hello! Thank you! :)

And yes I do! Funnily enough it was one of the first times I didn't actually try to shift. That day I was SO excited about a new dr I made, I simply just wanted to lay down, put on ambience, and spend hours daydreaming about it. I had no intention to shift, I didn't want to try to shift, I was just excited. So I laid there for like an hour, I didn't pay attention to symptoms or feelings, or anything else. I just spent my time thinking about that dr, where I might wake up when I shift, and how I thought my life might go.

Then suddenly I must've zoned out, and next thing I realised was that I saw saw the fireplace reflecting light on the wall and ceiling above me, and I remember reaching up to it and just feeling everything.

Truth be told, it lasted like 10 seconds before my mind went ''What the fuck I'm supposed to be meditating right now.'' And back I was!

Something fun i wonder is that you ever shifted to a reality where one of your Drs is a show or movie and you got to see yourself on screen? I imagine it to be very cool seeing how things you experience get transcripted onto a screen

Hello! Thank you!

Yes, actually! My husband and I have a second waiting room. It's the most chill place, and the whole purpose is that we live in this little apartment in a place where it's almost always dark. No one else exists, and we have any social media, our gallery, etc, with pictures, videos, shows and medias of absolutely any reality.
