@apolloshifts requested we bring back shifting events. So I’m coming in HOT with this one. Enjoy 😉

Day 1: Who was your first ever S/O you started shifting for? If you don’t have an S/O, who was the first platonic character you started shifting for?

Day 2: Who’s your most current or main S/O that you’re shifting for? If you don’t have an S/O, who’s the most current or main platonic character you’re shifting for?

Day 3: Pick a someone from your DR and list 5 things you love about them.

Day 4: What is your “safe space” in your dr? Is it a person? A place? A song?

Day 5: Share your favorite inside jokes from your DR!!

Day 6: What do you love most about your drself?

Day 7: Who or what from your DR do you miss the most right now?

Day 8: What does your dr sound like? Are mornings soft and quiet, or loud and messy? Is midday filled with the sounds of the city, or the calmness of a small town? Is the night filled with the sounds of crickets, or the gentle hooting of an owl?

Day 9: Plan a hangout in your dr. Can be with the people you love, or by yourself.

Day 10: Write a scenario from your s/o’s POV.

Day 11: Share your favorite platonic bond. Can be a best friend. Can be a family member. Can be a coworker. Hell, it can even be the barista at your local coffee shop.

Day 12: What song makes you think of that one special person from your dr? It could be an s/o, a parental figure, a sibling, a best friend, or even just a random character!!

Day 13: If you had to spend Valentine’s Day with ONE s/o, who would it be and why?

Day 14: Happy Valentines Day!! Share whatever you want!! V-Day plans, DR memories, what you’d be doing with your DR people rn, anything you want to share!!

Day 15: Show your moots some love!! Who are your best shiftblr friends? Who has gotten you through your journey, or stopped you from giving up?

Day 16: What is your favorite “boring” thing or moment from your dr? Maybe it’s your coffee order. Your alarm sound. That one time you bumped into a stranger on the street.

Day 17: Who do you go to when you need comfort?

Day 18: What’s a “little thing” in your DR that is important to you?

Day 19: Who is the first person you’ll see/you saw when you wake up in your DR?

Day 20: Who are you most excited to see, or what are you most excited to do?

Day 21: Wildcard!! Who pisses you off the most in your DR?

Day 22: Who is the one person you’re never fake with—they make you feel completely safe and comfortable to be yourself.

Day 23: How did you know you were in love with your s/o? What made you fall for them? If you don’t have an s/o, what made you realize you felt connected to your DR person? What made you feel attached to them?

Day 24: Share your favorite scenario from your DR.

Day 25: What is something or someone you ALWAYS script into each of your drs? Even if it’s so out of context, or doesn’t fit, it sneaks its way into every single universe you exist in.

Day 26: What is your favorite memory from your DR?

Day 27: How has shifting changed how you see yourself or the world?

Day 28: Who is one s/o you’ll never stop loving, or one platonic bond you’ll never lose, no matter how old you get or how much time passes? No matter how many drs you create/shift to?

Bonus: If you could go back in time and stop yourself from discovering shifting, would you? I know most of us would probably say no, but if you said yes, then why?

you know the song "Arabella" by the Arctic Monkeys? my dr self is literally Arabella in every possible way. attitude, style, vibe, everything.

also a pro at ice skating, gymnastics and hating on rich people

– 𝒅ay 7 : who or what from your DR do you miss the most right now?

i've been really missing my cousins lately. the Hawthorne brothers are just so chaotic, i love them so much

Kpop Idol DR

Sona because she’s my roommate. After that, I’ll end up meeting the other members in the living room for breakfast.

Stray Kids DR

All of them, as I’ll meet them all in a group setting. Though, my attention will be drawn to certain members more than others. (*Cough cough* my S/O)

Pretty Little Liars DR

The liars, as we all wake up after a sleepover. I want a moment that’s chill but still allows me to experience my dr life in a real way.

The Fosters DR

(Cause my Hyperfixation has been reawakened)

Most likely either one of the twins or Lena!!

Kpop Idol DR

Watching K-Dramas together with the group. It started when one of us was watching a K-Drama, and slowly but surely all of us ended up scattered around the living room, shouting at the TV about how so-and-so didn’t ask so-and-so out and whatnot. From then on, it slowly became a common occurrence, until we designated Fridays as our K-Drama nights.

Stray Kids DR

The post-it notes I leave for the boys to find. It’s my way of reminding them that they always have someone on their side. The notes, originally scattered around the house and practice rooms for the boys to find, have since then been stuck to bathroom mirrors, computers, and closet doors.

Pretty Little Liars DR

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

Definitely has to be those quiet moments around the dorms. Realizing that I’m no longer watching my favorite idols on a screen, or my gg members are no longer just people in my head; They’re five feet away from me, making a snack in the kitchen. One of them is watching TikTok’s on their phone. Another is lounging on the couch. The leader is asking everyone what they want for dinner.

It’s soft, and it’s quiet, and I’m bored out of my mind. But it’s comforting, in a way. It’s home.

✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦ . 　⁺ 　 . ✦

(This is a shorter version of my original writing; I may post the original version once it’s finished)

It was late when me and the members got home from tour, all sneaking into our dorms and being careful not to wake our un-official official 9th member. Gosh, that was still confusing. We considered her our member, but the company? Not so much. Not yet, at least.

I slowly climbed into bed next to her, ignoring her grumbles of complaint at the movement beside her. “Shh…it’s okay. Just go back to bed, Moon.” I whispered softly. Didn’t need to tell her twice. She curled into my side, soft sighs of content leaving her.

“Damn,” I muttered. “If I wasn’t tired before, I definitely am now.” I relaxed against the mattress, burying my face in the crook of her neck.
