seeing shockingly few people understand this very basic idea so i made this flowchart to help you determine when and if it's okay to shapeshift into another person.
VERY SIMPLY STUFF PEOPLE!!!! I DONT KNOW HOW SOME OF YOU KEEP FORGETTING!!!
okay but what if im doing a bit. just so i can be like "oooo look at me i'm so-and-soooo" and make fun of them. if it's really funny. it wouldnt work without the shapeshifting i swear
people use this as an excuse way too often!!!!!!
for people with static bodies, you have to understand how personal their facade is to their identity, and how traumatizing it can be for them to be stolen from them, even as a "joke".
genuinely cannot believe the attitude some shapeshifters here have towards static beings... like. you're mad at us for saying you shouldn't shift into someone without asking first?? be fucking for real right now. if you shift into a real person you literally take a piece of their consciousness in your own to be able to channel their visage. it's incredibly fucking disorienting to have a literal piece of you ripped away from your consciousness for g-d knows how long for someone else to play a silly prank (not to mention how fucking awful it is to have your visage used for something you would never do) and if too many people shift into you at once it can have incredibly damaging repercussions!! like literally ripping your soul from your body and killing your physical form. thats literally what happened to elvis. so many people started impersonating him and it fucking killed him. if any of the shifters on this site ever actually did any research on static people they would know this but they don't care because static pain is only a big funny joke to them 🙄
THANK YOU. i try not to speak for statties too often (im not sure if i can say that word but "static beings" is kind of a mouthful, plz lemme know if thats not ok), but so many people literally act like you didn't see the heartbreaking footage of Elvis pushing through his final show while his soul escaped his body!! as if it isn't compulsive in the American school system to watch that footage in grade 8!!!
and most people just FORGAVE john lennon for straight up SOLICITING SHIFTERS IN HIS AUDIENCE TO TAKE ON THE FORM OF ELVIS WHILE HE WAS ALSO PERFORMING A CONCERT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD AT THE SAME TIME AS HIM. i mean, he was shot about it eventually but nowadays people talk about him like he didnt basically kill a man live on stage.
it's fucking gross honestly and not enough people take this shit seriously.
Hey, quick question. What do you mean "or place"???
Are you like, shapeshifting into the titanic or something? The leaning tower of piza?
it's not my job to educate you.
