⚡️ : "talking 'bout you, talking 'bout us."
From your lovely ask list! I love the fun gossip 👀
my beautiful, lovely, amazing mutual !! thank you for the ask ૮₍ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ₎ა
⚡️ :: rumors — what are some rumors going around about you? any recent scandals about dating someone? how do celebrity news outlets react to the rumors? how about fans?
CIRCULATING — since dream academy will only just end once I shift there , a perfect world would mean no rumors going around just yet. But alas, most of our fans so far are kpop fans—the messy kind, of course—therefore it's only natural for them to find a problem with something about the final line up, even before we were chosen.
001. " My Brutally Honest Opinion on Each Dream Academy Contestant So Far..." ▹ YouTube 126.9k views
This video was messy, to say the least. To summarize: the creator went on a 30 minute rant about each contestant on the show, giving their very honest opinion about us based on our first appearances. It was posted a couple hours after the first episode aired and to say they were quick with it would be an understatement. I find myself on Twitter during one of my breaks from training and I see me—quite literally—at the center of a discussion between viewers of DA: "Did Yuuna really deserve her spot on Dream Academy?" ... According to the post, "Yuuna doesn't have enough experience in the [music] industry to participate in a show, a survival show out of everything too ... She should just stay an actress or a model or whatever instead of "joining" Dream Academy because it'll just be embarrassing when the judges stop accepting her briberies and she's one of the first-" The thread was lengthy but why I destroy my peace for people—twitter fans especially? I couldn't bring myself to care enough anyways.
002. "Aespa's Giselle and Dream Academy's Contestant Yuuna Komatsu Share Posts on Instagram, Sparking Rumors Between Netizens: "This Can Only Mean One Thing In Korea.." " ▹ Soompi.com (092623)
side note: in this reality, AESPA debuted in 2022 I wanted their concept instead of 2020.
This rumor was honestly so fun to watch . It all started when Giselle shared a photo on her Instagram wearing a white lace tank top (like the one in the photo) and a backwards cap. It was already hinted that Giselle and I had been friends since their debut era, so I didn't think much when I posted a selfie of myself wearing the same clothing pieces. Oh, how I was so wrong.. According to Soompi and Netizens , "Giselle had been in 'girlfriend' mode since Yuuna was revealed to be a contestant on Dream Academy, even going as far as commenting on posts she would personally share on the survival shows account." Honestly, we both thought it was stupid, since we were just really close friends. Then again, that photo definitely lead to a chain of events : random photos with the other's shadow peeking in the background , subtle mentions of each other during work hours, and ...questionable moments between the two of us were discovered and theories were spreading quickly. I'm pretty sure Netizens are currently sitting here practicing their shocked reactions while waiting for Dispatch to finally confirm the rumors TT.
OTHER NOTABLE RUMORS ::
003. "Is DA's Yuuna Connected to Japan's Royal Family?"
004. "Yuuna is a Robot — 10 Different Careers Before The Age of 20?!"
005. "10 Minutes of Manon's Beef with Yuuna During Dream Academy"
⤳ mind you, this started after Popstar Academy was released, not a reliable source.
🥮 I strongly believe I discovered the power to shift to connect with my heritage. I grew up in a japanese household—though I'm half brazilian—in the states so you'd think I would at least speak japanese right? no. Living in America as an immigrant means (for me at least) having parents who believe if you don't speak your mother tongue, racism would eventually come to an end, right ? They were wrong. Now I'm sixteen almost seventeen years old living in America using shifting as my primary way of connecting to my heritage .

CLOTHING .ᐟ
⋆.˚ although I grew up surrounded by the influence of the bland countryside, I dress anything but—think macaw in a quiet, isolated rainforest. I never matched the scenery and that never stopped me from expressing myself, it only kept me going ^^ blinding colors and patterns, frilly dresses over baggy jeans, colored sneakers + mismatched socks ! in the coolest way possible, I look like I walked out of a children's book (˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) .ᐟ.ᐟ

⋆.˚ accessories are my second language !! if my outfit doesn't jiggle when I walk, I'm obviously underdressed. keychains dangling from my zipper, 'random' charms and keychains hanging from my bag, wrists stacked with handmade bracelets, hair add-ons hand-picked to match my outfit for the day ^^ what's the point of dressing up if I not catching people's eyes?

⋆.˚ my hair is an accessory of its own, a very special one >< just like my outfits, my hairstyles are never boring! braids woven with colorful yarn, space buns with little charms clipped in, half-up pigtails with messy curls, a single side braid with mismatched clips. my hair is my personal playground—my favorite way to express myself—and I'm never tired of entertaining myself with it !!

my 50¢ on this:
It's a psychological problem. Humans are born with an instinct to worship others, particularly those who've accomplished what others could only dream of having. When it comes to shifting, the community doesn't rely on themselves but rely on the one's who have reached that level of "impossible". They see them as some kind of "god" and believe that if they put all their trust and support into the creators, they'll have a better chance at shifting themselves, which in my opinion is plain stupid.
moral of the story: stop relying on people who've shifted to help you shift, it's an individual journey !! you won't get anywhere closer to your goal if you spend all the time you could be spending in your dr putting others on a pedestal.
Idk something about how (some if not most) shifters will treat you better when they know you've shifted kinda reminds me of classism, like why is there a hierarchy in the shifting community 😭💔

whenever I come across a post talking about how people below certain ages shouldn't be shifting, I almost agree with it.
but then I remember I was 12-13 when I found about shifting, and how I was in the worst of places mentally.
and that the only thing that kept me going was my belief that shifting was real, even when I doubted my ability in doing so successfully.
and how i'm so much better and it's only cause I continued and didn't give up, and how shifting played such a big role in all of that.
that's why I strongly believe that shifting finds you exactly when you need it most. whether you're 2 or 20, it comes to you when it's meant to.
everything conspires and works to bring it to you, in that exact moment that you find out about it.
so don't let anyone tell you otherwise <3
CRIMINAL MINDS ♱ DESIRED REALITY
♱ Rebecca June Ivory, born on October 12, 1981 is the twin of Dr. Spencer Reid, an FBI profiler known for his genius intellect and photographic memory. While Spencer was praised for his brilliance, Rebecca often felt like the “ordinary” twin, despite her own intelligence and passion. She spent most of her life in London with their father, Vincent Ivory, whose perfectionism created constant tension. He dismissed Rebecca’s love for ballet and criminology, comparing her to Spencer and making her feel she’d never measure up. Determined to prove her worth, Rebecca pursued criminology to protect the innocent, while ballet became her outlet for strength and self-expression.
SEPTEMBER 2005 ♱ Rebecca finally decides to take control of her life as she moved back to the United States and settled in Washington, to follow her dream of joining the FBI’s Behavioural Analysis Unit (BAU). There, she meets Samantha Hargreeves, a profiler with a warm heart and gentle spirit. Samantha’s kindness quickly makes her Rebecca’s closest friend, and the two form an unbreakable bond.
REBECCA’S MIXTAPE
i. Burn Alive - The Last Dinner Party
ii. Fake Plastic Trees - Radiohead
iii. Your Best American Girl - Mitski
iv. Abstract (Psychopomp) - Hozier
v. Family Tree (Intro) - Ethel Cain
I guess opposites attract… ♱ Rebecca ivory and Aaron Hotchner were complete opposites with Aaron’s stoic, reserved nature clashed with Rebecca’s warm, empathetic personality. Yet, these differences drew them together. Aaron admired Rebecca’s deep understanding of people, while she was captivated by his quiet strength and dedication. They became the kind of couple that, though seemingly opposites, fit perfectly together.

LESS STRESS
Not only should you not complicate things, you don’t have to put in excessive effort. Persistence is, of course, good. But everything should be in moderation. You don’t need to overdo it so much that you feel like you’re toiling away at a factory.
You don’t have to prove anything to anyone, even to yourself. Yes, yes, you already have what you want, why prove anything? And especially don’t prove anything to your brain, which asks questions and whines: “Is it possible? How? When?” Shut its fucking mouth and read. That’s what they said: “Shut up!” and let it just try to yelp something. Let go of control and just watch how reality shows you what you want. It will have no choice but to show you this.
Manifestation and shifting are about comfort, not about endless struggle.
Do you like the pace at which you live? If everything is given through force, then it's time to take a break. You are already in the desired reality. You already have all your manifestations. You do not need to toil for this, pump up your thinking to the level of a god, aff to exhaustion. Just allow yourself to live and not to fight.
It is better to think like this: the less stress, the faster you receive your manifestations, the easier you shift into the desired reality. So right now, let go of tension, breathe deeply, relax ... exhale and let go. Do not just say to yourself "Yes, yes, I let go of control" and then go back to stress. Take and let go, relax and feel it.
Why stress if you are already in the desired reality? Why stress if you already have the life of your dreams?
Your struggle does NOT guarantee a result or successful shifting. Shifting is not a practice where doing a method 100 times guarantees you will shift. Manifestation is not a practice where repeating an affirmation 10,000 times guarantees you will get a result. The result depends only on YOU. But I sincerely do not understand why you should put a spoke in your wheel and look for the most difficult paths.
Why fight if you can just relax?
