Rizoel & Crepuscule

Meh. I'm not worried. I have no doubts that if it does affect cosplayers and youtubers and all that, they will all speak up about it. And that's a lot of people. You can't keep a law when almost everyone is against it. Usually. It reminds me a lot of SOPA and all that. Especially in the sense that the only reason that SOPA didn't pass was because everyone in the universe ever spoke up about it. And, like this law, they tried to keep SOPA a secret(last time I checked, passing laws without permission from the people is, like, the opposite of democracy. Maybe even fascist, actually ._. ), because they KNEW that everyone ever would say no, since it actually does NOTHING to enhance profits of business' except the biggest ones in a given industry. Which is probably why massive companies like Comcast and MPAA are in complete support of this bill, yet smaller business' are not. Not even a little bit. However, I have a feeling that this article is exaggerating(this is a news article folks, their job is to blow things out of proportion, I mean c'mon). There is no evidence that this guy actually talked to a lawyer about shit. I mean, things like; "This new law will also impact web sites that review product. With this new law, it will also make it impossible to review an item without the written consent of the copyright holder." Like, really? No way. This goes completely against Fair Use. It basically overrules it if that is true. You also won't be allowed to put gameplay videos on YouTube. And videos about games, reviews or otherwise, is where most ad revenue for YouTube comes from. Many people on YouTube have a lot of fans, and they WILL speak up against it, and then everyone will know about it. And then it will hit the fan. But, again, even if everything in the article was true(which it very well could be, don't get me wrong), no one is gonna let it pass(even if it already has). The people won't let it fly. You can't keep something that affects essentially everybody that uses the internet a secret. So yeah, I'm not that worried. It's not gonna happen. And if it does, it won't be for long. A year at most. And if it goes on for longer than a year, then I think it says a lot about us, the people. Because at the end of the day, whether or not this happens and for how long is entirely in our hands. And, again, once the people with big voices on YouTube know about it (like TotalBiscuit, to name just one), they WILL tell everyone. And then their fans will tell everyone they know, and so on, and then everyone will know about it, and no one is gonna be happy, and then we're all gonna' rock the boat, and then the bill will be gone. Unless we're idiots, and do nothing. In which case, maybe we deserve this kinda' thing to happen to us. But no, I don't think we'll let it slide. We did it with SOPA, we'll do it again.

Hey guys, OP here. long time no see. Again. In fact, most of you have probably forgotten me, but yes, it is the OP here. I have a bit of news about the original post of this thread, and some other random things. News first; I’ve decided to get off my butt and finally update the original post of this thread to be a bit more sane. I’ve always disliked the previous one, as it seemed very rushed and didn’t give that much information, but I just haven’t found much motivation to change it. In fact, actually, I’ve found no motivation to post here at all, as well as answer questions and stuff. I think one of the reasons for that is because I think this thread just shouldn’t exist anymore. And I guess I’ll explain why in the spoiler below. Two reasons: Some ranting in spoiler, FYI. Recommend you just skip it completely if you value your time and sanity. Also, if you guys feel that there is anything important missing in the OP, or a typo or a better way to word something, do tell me, preferably by PM, or via the IRC I've linked in the OP, which I am usually always on. The OP is quite big now and there’s bound to be mistakes in there. Oh, and I doubt I will posting very much after this, if at all(so, nothing will change, I guess). Again, as I said in the spoiler above, I don’t see why this thread should exist anymore, (but I ain’t going to delete it, since some of you still like it, it seems), and I could say a very similar thing about the ‘Questions & Answer’ section of the Tulpa.info forums. If I see another post about tulpa-pregnancy there I swear I’m gonna kill a man. --- Oh yeah, I almost forgot about the last ‘random thing’ I mentioned at the start of this post; one last thing I think I should mention for the two people that might still remember us. It’s about Crepuscule. Yep. She’s decided to make herself a new main form. This actually happened about an entire year ago, and I just haven’t been bothered to post about it becausezzzzz. But anyway, that’s it, that’s all that’s changed about any of us. Here’s a picture I slightly modified to look a bit more similar to her form(I only modified hair color and eye color), ignore any tattoos and piercings though; she doesn’t have any. Also, the pic is not exactly SFW, but there’s no naughty bits or anything. Just her and a bikini. I swear she usually wears more clothes than this. Sometimes. Maybe. http://puu.sh/ksJdY.png I know. I don't know where it went all wrong. But what I do know, is that urge to drown myself in the closet is reaching critical levels. I'll see you all later. Maybe. :okiedokielokie:

Don't know what you're talking about. When did I say that? My wonderland experiences are not clear at all. Though really, I don't care. I don't need them to be clear to know what is going on. No, that was directed at pretty much anyone that bases their tulpa off of a fictional character, such as a pony or someone from a cartoon, etc. Not just Rainbow Dash. when I see someone say that their tulpa is based off of a character they really like, what it says to me is that they don't actually want a tulpa. They just want to meet that character. People can just say, "Oh but it's just a base! I know that it's not actually that character from so and so." Oh Really? Well then, you would have absolutely no problem with your tulpa not looking like that character. But yet for whatever reason, you chose a character you really like for a 'base' anyway. No, it actually happened and traumatized me for life; sitting there bound to a freezing glass wall as Crep shocks me in the booty with a taser with no way to escape the wonderland is no laughing matter. ... Of course it was all a joke you moron. If something like that did actually happen in the wonderland(or, anywhere for that matter), it would obviously be roleplay, since if I genuinely didn't want to be in that kinda' situation with Crep(always), I could just snap out of the wonderland and there, boom, done. Though, of course, if my tulpas actually existed(especially when it comes to Crepuscule), then all of that does seem like something that would happen. Possibly on a regular basis. Maybe them being tulpas rather than real beings has its advantages. Maybe. :okiedokielokie: That would be a good idea, if I wasn't for the fact that none of the creepypastas are true, and never will be. The only way that any of those creepypastas could come anywhere remotely close to actually happening, would be if you believe what the creepypasta(s) say is true. if you believe that there is a possibility that your tulpa will become scary and creepy, then that possibility will become an actual possibility. Of course though, there is kind of a limit as to how much 'damage'(for the lack of a better word) a tulpa could possibly do. For example, if you genuinely believe that your tulpa can pick up, say, a brick in the real world, and smash you over the head with it, that's not going to happen; tulpas cannot interact with the real world in any way(except though possession of your body and all that fun stuff(and no, they cannot make your body do things that you don't want to do, even if your tulpa happens to be murderous or something. You can always 'take back' your body whenever you want, no matter what. So, if your tulpa makes you jump off a bridge, it was because you wanted them to do that. Not because your tulpa is a murderous bastard)). But, if you believe that there's a possibility that your tulpa may turn out to be something other than what you intended them to be, then that possibility will become just that: a possibility. It's all to do with belief, really. Again, if you believe that your tulpa will be scary and bad, then the possibility is therefor created. Simply because of that belief. Likewise, if you believe that there is no possibility that your tulpa will deviate, then there you go; they won't. And if you say that that is what you did, and they still deviated, then to that I would say that you didn't believe hard enough. So then, if your intention is to let your tulpa be who they want to be, but at the same time, you don't want them to be nasty and scary to you(which they almost certainly won't anyway), I believe that all you have to do is realize that they can't deviate, unless you want them to. Simple as that really. You need to understand that you are in full control as to who they are, and how they act. If they get all scary lookin' and intimidating, I would say that that is what happens when you don't realize you have full control of them(with the exception of intrusive thoughts, but those happen to almost everyone at some point). But of course, you don't have to control every aspect of them if you don't want to. Otherwise they wouldn't be considered a tulpa. They'd just be an imaginary friend. But I don't think there's anything wrong with correcting a few things that you feel are detrimental to each other's friendship, like if they were to get all scary and stuff for no reason. However though, I feel it is a bit wrong to do the same thing when they just simply have a different opinion from you, or they prefer a different form from what you want them to have. If that happens, then just simply talk to them about it. If they genuinely want to stay that way, then you should have no problem with that. Right? I mean, you do love them for who they are, don't you? Or do you just love because they look and act like Rainbow Dash or some other character you really like? Of course though, sometimes your tulpa will put your happiness in front of their own, and will know that you want them to be a certain way, and will have their form and how they act reflect that. If they are like that, don't try and fight it. Instead, thank them for it if they insist on it, because both of you know that they don't have to do that. I however, will still want to punch you and your 'kind' in the face if the tulpa takes the form of a fictional character. Because of reasons.

Well looks like you're in luck today. I thought I would come down and write a quick update on us because why not. Wonder if Brisino has posted recently. I'm most curious about how he, Tia' and the others are doing. Also, I've read almost nothing from this thread since last time I posted, as I can't be bothered to read through 50 pages of stuff I've missed(I can see now why many people are asking questions that have already been answered in this thread(Though really you should at least use a quick search to make sure)) so if there's something important I've missed, or some of you have some questions you think I could answer, feel free to let me know, and I will proceed to tell you how much you suck at making tulpas answer as best I can in a totally kind and helpful manner. Maybe. Which reminds me, when was the last time I posted here? About a year and a half or something? Damn, time flies nowadays it seems. But anyway, we're all good over here. Crep is still being Crep, so that's all good unless you're me. The others are still themselves as well. However though, there are a few small changes about them since last time I posted, but it's only to do with their forms. Crepuscule almost always takes the form of a human being now, and has pretty much been that way since I last posted. Her color scheme is still purple and all, and her hair style is still very much like the one she has in my avatar pic on the left. Also, I'm slightly taller than him. By almost two full inches. Because reasons. *Grumble* Tee-hee. The only thing that would make this better would be if he was wearing a collar. And I plan to get him into one one day, and then I'll force him to draw pictures of him wearing it and then post them here. Just wait; I'll find a way. Oh ho ho, jokes. *claps hands* Funny jokes Crep; you're a fucking comedian today aren't ya'. *Flicks his nose* Ah! Hey! Cut that out! *Sticks tongue out* ..A- anyway, moving on; Blue Pixel is usually an anthropomorphic pony now. Again, colors and hair is the same as always, just different body, and he's still a pegasus and all that. White Rose however, is still a normal MLP:FiM unicorn like always, and still looks pretty much exactly like her picture in the original post of this thread, except more 3D than that(and all of them look 3D and life-like btw, if you can ignore the fact that they still look like a near-transparent blur when it comes to actually seeing them clearly. But I don't need to see them clearly; I know what they look like). By the way, bit of a rant incoming, but it's something I need to get off my chest. Feel free to skip it. [rant] I find myself quite often annoyed when people talk about the form of their tulpa. I find it annoying when people say things like; "Oh my tulpa is a pony" "My tulpa is a human" "My tulpa is Rainbow Dash" "My tulpa is a so and so" and all that, and I feel that people are looking at it all the wrong way. Your tulpa is not a pony, or a human, and they especially are not Rainbow Dash. They are a tulpa, and not only that, but you need to realize that they can take the form of anything they want, whenever they want, and with almost no effort required on anyone's end, even when they already have a preferred form. Because they are tulpas. Many people seem to have this idea in their head that a tulpa has to have a specific form, and that it takes a lot of time and effort to make them another form, which is just not true. Unless of course, you believe that is true. Then it probably will be true. Belief and tulpas are two things that are closely tied together it seems, or at least in my experience it seems to be. In my experience, they can be whatever they want with no effort. My tulpas can take the form of anything they want. It's not because they are 'shapeshifting tulpas' as some people claim to have. They can do this, simply because they are tulpas. All tulpas are able to do this. So really when I say that Crepuscule is a human, what I'm actually saying is that she prefers her form to be that of a human being(And extremely rarely are they ever something other than a human, anthro, or a pony, if ever). But really she can be whatever she wants, because she's a goddamn tulpa, and tulpas can do whatever they darn well please, and I think that not allowing your tulpa to look how they want to look is kinda cruel. Yet, it seems to be a thing that many people do. Though, not because they are cruel, but rather because neither the host or the tulpa realize they can do this(or, they just want them to look like Rainbow Dash or something because they really like Rainbow Dash and I really want to punch these kinds of people in the face). And I think they don't realize they can do it because they assume that almost everything about creating a tulpa is a very hard thing to do. When in reality(or at least in my experience), I would dare say that most of the difficulty in creating a tulpa comes from realizing how simple it actually all is. I could rant about this stuff all day long, but I don't have that kinda' time, so now would be a good time as any to stop I guess. [/rant] Right then, so, other than two of my tulpas now having a new preferred form, nothing much has really changed or happened since last time I posted. Meh. ..Well, actually, there is one other thing I would like to share that is slightly related to tulpas, and that is I want to get into art. I would like to be able to draw what I want, whenever I want. One of the things that makes me want to do this, is that I want a picture of my tulpas. So I can show you guys exactly what they look like. However, I don't really want to commission someone to draw them for me since I'm bad at describing how people look. So, I've decided that I'm just going to draw them myself. But, of course, drawing living beings is not the easiest thing in the universe to do. So It's probably going to take a while of practice before that happens. I'm planning on getting a Wacom Cintiq 13HD graphics tablet for my birthday(October 10th) to help me with drawing. I do have a cheap Wacom Bamboo tablet, and it gets the job done, but I want to take this whole drawing thing seriously; I'm not just doing this because I want to draw my tulpas; I would like to do lots of drawing, whether it be of my tulpas, or otherwise. (However though, it's possible that I could just draw a rough sketch of what they look like, and then commission someone to buff out the details. Maybe I'll do that, maybe I won't. Meh). The main problem with all this however, is that I currently don't have a lot of experience in drawing in general. However, I do feel motivated to learn how to do this, so I got that going for me, and I have been drawing every now and then almost every day. And I feel I'll really get going after I get a better tablet. So, if all goes well, I might be drawing rough sketches at around about the end of the year, or sometime after it. And then when that happens, he's gonna draw my boobies all day every day! Oh I can't wait! ..*Grumble* ... Yeah. Sure. And I will post them in this very thread. -_- So, until that happens(never), below is something spontaneous and silly I made in inkscape until I get my Cintiq. I have a few more of these kinds of things in the making, btw(though they won't be as silly as this one, and will be more related to tulpas). So expect a few more sooner or later. Blah ... ... ... I for one am thankful that tulpas don't emit actual temperature. Yeah you better be, 'cause if my booty actually did that, your face would be singed to hell and back with how much I 'accidentally' sit on it while you sleep. Ah ha ha ha- I'm gonna fucking kill you. :okiedokielokie:

Normally I would say that's impossible. Tulpas are entities that exist in your mind and your mind alone. They cannot just be pulled out of your mind into reality, if that's what you're talking about. But, this world was founded on ideas that were once thought impossible. So instead of burying my head in the sand like a medieval peasant being introduced to witchcraft, I'll be inquisitive instead. How do you plan to pull your tulpa into reality? And if you do it, how will you know if you're actually doing it and not just feeling like you're doing it? Perhaps he's just talking about imposition. How do you know that? How do you know if you're actually just hallucinating that you're in control of it, when you actually aren't. Perhaps you should try it when they all go to bed, or when they all go out or something.

*Pokes head around corner* Did somepony say... tulpas? Well, -_- I'll have you know th- Crepuscule: "NO! Bad Rizoel! *Boops him on the nose with newspaper* Everypony and their mother's cat knows you have a tulpa. You were the one that introduced this nonsense here in the first place."

I wouldn't say that my tulpas are a 'replacement' for real-life friendship and relationships. If anything, my tulpas actually encourage me to meet and be with real people. And I think it's for the best; I would be missing out on many new experiences if my only close friends were beings in my head. Now, that's just me and my tulpas; other people might think differently. I'm sure there are a few people who will use tulpas as replacements for real-life friends. But all in all, that's their choice. If they have really lost hope that they can find love with a real person, then that's how it will be. I of course think they will be missing out, but I can't force people to do what I think is a better lifestyle for them. All I can do is suggest, and that's all. That's exactly the way I think of it. I'll be honest, I really do think that we are all over-thinking what a tulpa is and how they work. I don't think tulpas are really anything special, they're just things we say "oh they exist in the subconscious and they're just as real and have feelings just like any other person." and we just believe it, because it's comforting, when really we have no idea if that's true. I think tulpas work in the same way people look at God; people make something up, say it's a special thing and just believe it. And eventually it feels real simply because we want it to be real, and just refuse to acknowledge the idea that it's not. Even if you say; "I acknowledge that she's not real"(like what Fighting Spirit said for example), you're still not looking for how tulpas actually work. You realize that yes, the tulpa is not actually occupying that point in space and time, but you still think the being in your head is as real as you, despite them not having a physical body in reality. As someone that has had a tulpa for almost a year, I... really no longer think they are what people say they are. I think that tulpas aren't anything different from what most religious people have thought of since humanity has existed. The only possible difference being that we know right off the bat that we're deluding ourselves, and that we are certain that this phenomenon is all to do with the brain in someway, rather than through spirits or deities. Other than that, I've come to the conclusion that tulpas are nothing new. We just think it's new because it's a new realization of the brain that we've never thought of before, which is true, but I don't feel that because of that that we should make it out to be something we wish it to be, over what it actually is. ... So in other words, I'm dead, because Ben doesn't believe in me anymore. *Fake death-gasp* Whoa whoa hang on! I never said I don't think tulpas are a thing. They clearly are a thing, all I'm saying is that it's not much different from what most of humanity has been doing since it has existed. ..So basically what you're saying, is that everyone that believes in God actually has a tulpa? ..I ... dunno. Maybe. While I don't think an actual God exists in this universe, I do not however doubt people's sincerity towards such an idea, which would be what makes him seem undeniably real to them. But anyway, in conclusion, I think we tulpamancers have been deluding ourselves more than what we realize. I don't think tulpas are any different from believing in God or some deity. Simple as that. I'm not saying tulpas aren't a thing, I'm just saying that it's nothing new, even though we could have sworn it was. ... ... So... ..Foursome? YAY! Finally! ..*Sigh*

Everyone is crazy. Everyone. Do you have a sexual fetish, Xanatos? If you do, you're crazy. If you don't, you're a liar. Everyone has a sexual fetish. What I'm trying to say, is that everyone is crazy in some way. Crazy is a word people made up to feel good about not being open-minded.

Well, let's be honest, what is 'mentally healthy' is really open to interpretation(Is that the right word?). If you had lived in the city for your whole life, and never knew what was outside the suburbs of the place, and then one day you were to go take a walk into the Amazon Rainforest, stumbling upon an Amazonian tribe, and seeing them all doing tribe things, like walking around naked, and perhaps killing and gutting animals for food right in front of everybody, even in front of the children, who in turn probably don't bat an eye. That person, would most likely say that everyone in the tribe is completely insane, and that this is not a proper lifestyle to live by. In other words, he would think they are 'mentally unhealthy', because they are doing things outside of what the norm for our society. So, really, all that 'mentally unhealthy' means is that it's different in one way or another from what normal people tend to do. I personally don't think there's anything wrong with that; if everyone on earth was the same, what a boring world that would be. And It's also often the people that are labelled insane by society that are often the people that present interesting ideas and concepts to the world, and ultimately keep the human race moving forward. I know, there doesn't really seem to be that much in terms of tulpas that would be beneficial to society, but hey. This is why we tell people to think about this whole tulpa concept and its responsibilities before making the decision to make one yourself. In my opinion, if someone comes into this thread, reads up a bit about tulpas, and then says, "Hey guys, so I've read about this tulpa thing, and it looks pretty cool. So how do I do this?" I wish I could say this to the face of everyone that says the above; Get out. Because if you have that kind of attitude, then you're not gonna' make it. There's a higher chance that you will just fall flat on your face, as opposed to the guy that stands up and says, "I need to make a tulpa, and I will do whatever it takes. I will be responsible for any and every decision I make, and will be responsible for whatever risks I take, and should I succeed, I will treat my tulpa the way I would want people to treat me and only more, because this is something I need in my life." That's the answer I want to hear from you. If you're shaky, and you don't think you can handle the responsibilities, but want to try it because it's becoming all hip and cool, then go away, because you don't need a tulpa. You got to get up and say 'I NEED to do this. This is something I will benefit HUGELY from.' because if you don't believe you will benefit from this, then you won't. At the very least, if you don't have that kind of motivation, and you try it out, It will probably all take longer, because you are always doubting yourself. And if you're always doubting yourself, then how do you expect to create a being that basically lives off of the power of belief? ... Damn Rizzy; you should do motivational speeches. W- what? I'm just sayin', that's all. Not really a problem; tulpas can change their form to whatever the host pleases, if the tulpa is okay with it. Though, if they have lived together for that long, I have a feeling both would do anything to make the other happy anyway. Well, when you've been living with, say, your wife for 40 years or so, what do you do? Do you just... grow tired of them? No, of course you don't; you continue staying with them. You've lived together for 40 years; you've shared so many memories together, you understand each other more than anyone else ever could(sharing the same mind and all), And you think that, what, the host will just get up one day and say, "you know, I'm growing tired of us being together. How 'bout we end it all, cause you're boring now...?" and just throw it all away? If the person has lived with their tulpa for that long, I doubt they could just get so bored of them that they feel the need to kill them. Well, thank you for sharing your thoughts on the subject. I hope I scared everyone off now. I hope I wasn't too harsh with my reply. I'm sorry about that; I really need to just stop going on pointless rants. Actually, I would say that's when you're at your best. I agreed with the idea that you need a lot of motivation if you want to get through it quicker than everyone else. Though, maybe getting through it quickly isn't really all it's cracked up to be. It's not just about the destination, it's about the journey as well. ..Though, let's be honest, there isn't really a destination when it comes to tulpas. There isn't really a point where you can say your tulpa is now 'done'. Both of you will constantly learn about each other, making the other stronger in one way or another. And you both will carry each other through the dangerous game that we call life, no matter what it throws at you. Aww. That's so sweet. Ah, well, you kno- AND NOW IT'S TIME FOR A THREESOME FOR ABSOLUTELY NO REASON WHATSOEVER!! YAY!! HAY YEAH!! *Door is slammed millimeters from Rizoel's face* ... ... ... Hm. ... A- and while my tulpas may be a rather... odd bunch, I hope they don't ever change, either.

Yeah, what Lugia sai- FAQman's guide. ..Yes, Rizzy, he's using FAQman's gui- Please kill me. His guide - while SOME of it is good advice- is also- Incredibly outdated. We know. Lugia literally JUST said that. Exactly. So why is he- BECAUSE HE'S NEW AND DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE BUCK TO DO!! JUST LIKE YOU WHEN YOU FIRST FOUND OUT ABOUT THI- AT LEAST I DIDN'T RUN AROUND ASKING THE SAME BUCKING QUESTION EVERYPONY AND THEIR MOTHER'S CAT'S HAMSTER HAD TO ANSWER EVERY FIVE SECON- *THWACK* ... *Thud* ... Thank you, Rosie. No problem! *Ahem* ..I'm really sorry to anypony he might have seemed harsh to in his last post. He just gets a little... frustrated, when people post questions that have already been answered before. Even when the last time it was asked was like 30 pages ago. But anyway, we understand, this thread is very big (or at least MOST of us do *stares intensely at unconscious body*), but please try and at least have a quick look around on the Tulpa.info Forums. Because chances are, your question has already been answered. A lot. Or better yet, use the search feature that's hidden in the most obscure place ever. ... Honestly, every forum we go to, why is the damn search button like the size of an atom's ass. It's no wonder people ask so many questions.

..Rizzy, I don't think that's how the meme goes. I know, but it seemed fitting, thanks to the parrot. (Get it? Parrot? As in parroting? No? Nevermind.) Anyway, I know that people have already answered your questions, but I'll give my thoughts on some of them anyway. If you're too lazy to search through a list of guides that I linked to on the very first post of this thread, I don't think you have the patience to make a tulpa. Not gonna' happen. Not because of the fact that I don't have patience for lazy flanks like you and I won't give them to you(even though that is sort of true), but rather because, what works for some people might not work for you. Peoples experiences when it comes to making a tulpa varies from person to person. Everyone has a different perspective as to what a tulpa is and how they work. And as such, what technique works for some people, might not work for you. So, my advice is that you read as many of them as you can, not only to figure out how to make one, but also to form an opinion as to what they are, what they're not, how they work, and how they don't work. Exactly; maybe if you just, like, spent half-an-hour on Tulpa.info, you wouldn't be asking that question right now. Or possibly any for that matter. I've heard of at least one person on the Tulpa.info forums say they have schizophrenia, and that she has a tulpa. However though, she says that having a tulpa actually helped her cope with her condition. I believe she also said that the beings that are a product of her schizophrenia are not the same as her tulpa(s). ..Yeah, that's right, it's all for fun. Because, again, I(or rather my tulpas) clearly didn't explain in the very first post that they colour code their sentences for when they talk. Oh buck sake, here we go again. *Facehoof* I swear to Celestia, Riz, I'm going to shove my hooves so far up your- That's it? One guide? No, I suggest you don't follow through with it in that case. What ever happened to all the adventurers nowadays? Did they all die out or something? It depends on how much time you spend with your tulpa on making them feel real. You can impose them on all five of your senses; touch, hear, smell, taste(Yummy) and sight. And all of which can be made to sense your tulpa just as well as something in real life. The tulpa is still all in your head, but what you're doing is imposing hallucinations on your body. It's important to realize that it's all in your head, or else that would be no different from a schizophrenic. But that shouldn't be too difficult; just have some common sense. Lugia said it best. If you think you won't need one one day, just don't make one. Simple as that. Besides, as far as I know, there is no reason to get rid of a tulpa if you already have one. Why would you want to get rid of it after all that hard work? It's almost like saying, "oh digging up all that gold for the last year was really tiring." "Time to throw it all in a fire." I really don't see the logic. I think he means, like, WAY down the line. Like, cranky old man kinda down the line. I know, but still. I can't think of any reason you'd want to. Maybe that's because you're not a cranky old man yourself yet? Possibly. I just explained this in my last post. Nope. In fact, if anything, it helps. Me and my tulpas like to hang out in my wonderland while I'm waiting to fall asleep. And no, falling asleep while doing ANYTHING with your tulpa is not harmful to any of them, or you. ... Mate, there's a possibility of a piano falling on your head right now. Of course there's a possibility of it going wrong. That being said, I have not heard of anyone say they've lost control of their tulpa and it going berserk, and let me tell you, I've heard of some weird ways some hosts force with their tulpas. Like, I've heard of one guy saying he constantly beats and throws his tulpa against walls(in the wonderland) while screaming at him who he is, and what his personality is like. And apparently, nothing bad has happened. And somehow I think the tulpa said he's doing fine and that it's all necessary and that he loves his host. Of course, I would say the host's technique in creating his tulpa is questionable, but even though it almost seems like the host is TRYING to do what many people would call 'wrong', nothing bad has really come from it. And that's one of the things that's really cool about creating a tulpa; you can make them however you want. It seems like if you just simply believe that your technique will work, then it will. Again, placebo effect probably. But in any case, I would suggest you try and use a more... humane way of creating your tulpa, if you decide to make one. You know, just in case.

Well, let me just say that you cannot 'accidentally' puppet or parrot your tulpa. If they do something, and you did not consciously intend for them to do whatever is was they did(as in, you weren't thinking about them doing it before they did it), then it was them. Plain and simple. Wait, why do you think she doesn't like it? Only if your tulpa wants to respect your privacy. Which they almost certainly will if you treat them well and if you respect their's. However though, if they sometimes don't, it might not be because they're nasty. It might just be because they want to have a little fun with you. ... *Flashback* *Flashback ends* ... ... I- it can also depend on their personality as well. *Nervous laugh* Not all that interesting actually. Or at least for me. When she talks, it doesn't really feel much different from when I think to myself, except that when Crepuscule talks it feels like I can't suppress the thought, and sounds like a feminine version of my own voice, with a hint of Twilight Sparkle's voice as well, although maybe more seductive. Crepuscule has a seductive voice. Always. Anyway, I can't really find a way to go into any more detail about how it feels. They are just as dangerous as having a friend in real life. If not less. It's natural to think that they could be dangerous. The human brain is a very mysterious object, there is so much about it we still don't understand. I'm not gonna' lie to you and say "Oh I'm sure you'll be fine, go for it." When the truth is that everyone that has a tulpa knows almost just as much as you do about how it's gonna' go down for you. Nothing is set in stone, and despite the whole thing being related to the brain, it is very difficult to get some actual science on this stuff. How can one provide evidence for something only he can see? All I can say is that making a tulpa requires you to be brave and/or to be curious about how the human brain works. I've used this analogy before, but; are you the kind of person that would brave a dark, unexplored cave, all because you're curious to see what's inside it? If so, I think you would greatly enjoy making a tulpa. If you're not that kind of person, well, it's still up to you if you want to give it a shot. I'm not gonna' decide for you. I myself am 17, will be 18 this year(and my birthday will also take place on the same month and day MLP:FiM premièred. Go figure). So far there's no evidence of age affecting the tulpa. Actually, if anything, it might even make creating a tulpa easier. Young people - especially children - can sometimes have immense imaginations. And we often indirectly squash it when we teach them about how the world really is. Another thing kids have is the want to fit in with other people. If they are surrounded by people that think it is very childish to be stuck in their heads after they are of a decent age, then they will more often than not drop all their acts. And they will stay that way for the rest of their lives. And in doing so, they also lose their imaginative side of them. But either way, it's clear that the brain is very active when you are a child. If you're not convinced that a younger person will have an easier time making a tulpa; I have a friend on steam, who asked about what all this tulpa thing is all about. I linked him here, he did some research on it, and now he has a tulpa of his own, and they're coming along pretty well. So well in fact that it was only the next day he told me his tulpa had already achieved sentience, and that it was a really interesting experience. And that he's taking this seriously and not just doing it because it's cool. The reason I'm telling you all this is because I then found out later that he was only almost 14 years old. I know some people would think that he shouldn't do it because he might not be able to grasp the concept of a tulpa because of his age, but let's be honest, for all we know we more experienced folk probably are only barely able to grasp the concept of one ourselves. I believe all you need to do to make a tulpa is believe you have one, and the rest(making them feel real etc.) should come easily enough. It might take some time more often than not, but it will eventually. The brain seems to have the interesting ability where if it wants to believe in something hard enough, it will find a way. >2013 >believing something from /mlp/ *Sigh* Gimme that! *Steals microphone from Riz's hands* Hey, what th- *Microphone screech* RollingPony, what makes you think that some guy didn't just wonder in the thread one day and go "Oh lol they're talking about tulpas again; time to make up a story and post BS for lulz!" I mean c'mon man, It's the damn /mlp/ board! I mean yeah sure it's not the /b/ board but c'mon! *Spawns another microphone* Ahem... I have yet to see someone post on the actual tulpa forums about their tulpa going berserk in some way. It still might be trolling if that did happen, but I myself would be more likely to pay attention to someone on a more proper forum on the subject than from someone who's next door to the bowels of the internet. You sound like someone from a few hundred years ago. "I know nothing about the brain, so it must be scary and bad for me to play around with it." *Buries head in sand* That's a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think? As you said, it's natural to be scared of things you know nothing about. ..Yes, it is. I'm sorry. I don't mean to sound nasty. But sometimes, it slightly rustles my jimmies when I see people hear about some new phenomenon, do little to no research(I'm not saying you didn't if you actually did do some), create some sort of negative opinion about it, and then become so content in their closed-minded judgement that they no longer have the curiosity to learn more about it, when if they did, they would most likely think otherwise. [incoming rant] Well, we need to remember that tulpas are entities based solely on the power of belief. Or at least mostly. I reckon that if a person believes that creating a tulpa is in fact easy and has ABSOLUTELY NO doubts about the fact that they can create one no problem, it's surprisingly likely that they will have a tulpa within a fraction of time of everyone else that is skeptic about the whole Idea. I've been thinking for a while, and I'm going to be honest; I think doing all this 'personality' and 'wonderland' and 'creating a form for our tulpa' and other things we deem necessary to create a tulpa, are somewhat made in order to make us believe that the tulpa is slowly becoming a living entity in our minds, is what makes them more 'real'. What if the belief that it's working, is what causes it to work? Though maybe this doesn't apply to everything. I doubt someone can walk into this thread, have no doubts they can make a tulpa, and instantly gain awesome visualization skills. All I'm saying is that maybe for SOME of the things we do, are just there to help make the more skeptical people that decide to try it, believe that there IS in fact some form of entity in our heads and that it has a mind of their own, and that it wants to love and protect us. And it does. Because we believe it will. Basically, I reckon that whether or not our tulpa is sentient is all or at least has something to do with the placebo effect. In my experience, belief has played a big part in the creation of all my tulpas, and not much else actually. I've noticed that pretty much every single time my belief in their existence increases, so does their 'realness' and especially their sentience. ... ... In other words, I don't have a bucking clue what I'm talking about. ... ... *Cough* Well... Uh... I- I'm done talking... ...I guess I'll um... *Slowly starts for exit* Yeah, I'll just leave n- *Puts hoof on his shoulder* WELL THEN! Dammit. Now that that's over with, it's molest-y time, Rizzy! WHOA WHOA, wait a minute!! You said you wouldn't if I do a post today! ..Oh did I now? Yeah!! Just after you 'woke' me, you said; "Type. Or it'll be taser time tonight." That's implying that you wouldn't do... that... if I posted! ... Hmm. *Raises hoof to chin* That is true. Very good pair of ears you got on your head there. Looks like you've foiled my plans... *Phfeew!* ...Or you would have if it weren't for the fact that I actually . WHAT?! How can you say that?! YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IT THE WHOLE TIME I WAS TYPING!! REALLY?! I forgot everything. *Spawns taser as music linked above plays* NO WAIT!! AAAHHH- *Screams drowned out by the sound of electricity and music*

i no, im so gud @ riteing stowiees am i doin it rite? ..Rizzy, you just went full derp. Never go full derp. I think I know why his name is Riz. When people make tulpas, they often tend to take details from things they've seen in real life, and apply them to their tulpa. Most of the time they don't even realize it. That's because most of the time it's subconscious. This can be anything like details in their form, backstory(recommend you DON'T give them one), personality, and in your case, names. Your subconscious thought, 'hey, 'Riz' is a good name, let's use that.' and then you'll only realize it's something you found in real life when you actually think about it or when it's pointed out to you. So don't worry, I won't sue. Much.

Lots of replies again, some quotes from a week ago even, but whatever. Yeah I think that's actually where I found out about the word Crepuscule. I looked up the word, and it basically meant the colour of day after sunset, which is also what the word twilight means, since I was actually using Twilight Sparkle as a base form(sue me, Mindrop's Twilight) for her before she deviated into who she is today. By the way, we don't really 'have a song', but if I were to pick one that reminded me the most of that purple devil, it would have to be the one I've linked below. It's not really my favourite song ever, but I think it goes really well with the love-hate relationship we have for each other at times. Sung by the one and only P!nk as well. . Please don't take it seriously - I do not actually think our relationship is anywhere near what someone would call 'true love'. Say it with me Rizzy, R-O-M-A-N-C-E. Screw your romance. Oh I do love it when you screw my romance. I also have a more... sensible song that reminds me more of all my tulpas rather than just Crep. It's also much more innocent which I love. . For the few people here that have tulpas, does anyone else have a song that reminds them of their tulpa? I don't know if it's just me, but the image is broken. If you want to fix it, I reckon you could try uploading the image to imageshack, or imgur or something and linking it here. That should un-derp it. ..'Signalling protocol'? 'Bit-rate'?! Are you sure you're still talking about tulpas, Fhaolan? Because I can't make a connection. Yeah, but they aren't obviously seeing the same dragon. Unless you're trying to say that children are psychic mind readers. I think you might just be experiencing a bit of Hypnagogia. Hypnopompic is basically what you call the state you're in when you're really close to falling asleep. During this state, you may sometimes hear things like voices, or noises. Most of the time, you don't even notice them, but when you do, more often than not they will cause you to become aware of yourself and wake you up, and ultimately cause them to stop. I've experienced them myself every now and then. Sometimes this state can also cause other sensory phenomena, like visual for example. One time while in this state, I've had a vision of a giant bug jumping into my face, almost making me fall out of the bed. I've also one time very vividly heard a feminine voice that said something to me. I forgot what she said, but after realizing it almost sounded quite similar to Crepuscule's, I - naturally - fell out of the bed. Oh, and this phenomena happens in everyone by the way, so don't worry, you're not going insane. Besides, you'll be insane by the end of this anyway. No, that doesn't make any sense. You can't really accidentally parrot. If anything, that's close to what you should be aiming for. There isn't really a way you 'should' go about this, just do whatever makes you more comfortable. Yeah, I experienced something similar to this when I first started out. For me, it was more like, I would see the very faint outline of something, and then for about half a second the picture would be a little bit clearer, and then go back to an outline. It's not really like that for me anymore. Now I see a more stable vision of what I would have seen in that half a second. It's still mostly blackness, but it's better than when I first started. There isn't really much you can do about it other than keep at it. You'll get better with time. Personality is optional, unless you want your tulpa to be a certain way. If you want your tulpa to decide what they want to be like, or if you just don't really care, then just simply don't do personality. They might appreciate it in the end if you decide to give them the freedom right from the start to be who they want to be. But if you decide to choose for yourself, they most likely won't mind, and will understand your decision. I think that's a question only you can answer; do you want them to choose it? Again, I reckon they'll appreciate the freedom afterwards. No. Falling asleep won't harm your progress in anyway. I've heard a few people say that they've fallen asleep and that they've had setbacks, but for me, nothing has ever happened for the times I've accidentally fallen asleep while in the wonderland. ... ...

It's possible to feel a tulpa as well, if you impose the feeling of their body on your skin. I like to think that demons and spirits are one of those things where, if you believe it hard enough, it'll come true, albeit in your mind. Which is very similar to what I think of tulpas being. Your mind wants to believe in them, so it makes them real to it. I'm sorry, I'm not really a spiritual kind of person, despite living with a being that closely resembles what many people would call a spirit or demon. I tend to try and take a more scientific approach to these kind of things. But, it is nonetheless very interesting to see what the mind is capable of sensing, whether what it sees is real or not. By the way, Crepuscule - my tulpa - isn't actually... lustful, like most people would think of if they know what the word 'succubus' means. She does somewhat resemble what you describe the succubus being like; she's kind and loving, though she can often be cheeky and mischievous But underneath all that, I know that her intentions for me are nothing but the best. And I am only all too happy to try my best to show the same amount of love for her and more. In fact, I feel like there is no other person I would rather spend possibly the rest of my life with.

Interesting. Sounds almost like my tulpa... Crepuscule: Yeah, 'almost'... *Licks back of Rizoel's neck* ... ..E- except... I never intended for her to be the way she is. You know you want this. Eeep!

Not at all! I've posted my favourite guides a few times, but they often get lost in this big thread. So I understand. JDBar's Guide to Visualization My favourite visualization guide. It has pictures, which is amazing in and of itself. JDBar's Guide to Personality Forcing Doesn't really focus on one specific technique, but rather gets the basics down for a multitude of them. Sentience confirming/anti puppeting guide Less than 100 words long, but it worked for me. After I asked Crep to surprise me, she basically jumped at my face and went 'BLAHGHGH!!' making me fall out of my chair in fright. Worth it. Remember to check out the rest of the guides on the forum, as there's now more than a 100 of them there. A lot of them might be very useful to you guys. Because tulpaforcing is SUPR SRS BUSNIS!1! You're right, I don't. Not everyone on this forum knows everyone. I know you didn't, but you didn't say you didn't write it either. I didn't want others to assume you did. Well then say that next time. Dummkopf. Crep, there's no need for that. Hey now, there's no need to swea- *Pushed out the way by Crep, face colliding with a vase* How DARE you speak like that to Rizzy! Talking to my (handsome) slave like that! Why I oughta come over there and bite off your di- But... but I didn't accuse him, I was just saying IF that was what he was trying to do, because I know he didn't actually say he wrote it. I just didn't want others to think that he was trying to steal it. You're right. I could have avoided the argument. I'm sorry, Dawn, for being a bit harsh on you. ... *Nudges Crep* Hmm? Oh. I'm sorry for calling you an idiot in German. ... And for threatening to bite off your pride.

If you were trying to make it look like that's a guide that you wrote, you're not fooling anyone. Not to mention that guide you copied is very outdated. Like how it says "This takes more than 100 hours" when it talks about how long in total it takes to make a fully sentient and imposed tulpa. Now that time has passed and we now have a better understanding of tulpas, we now know that that's just not true anymore. There's nothing stopping someone from making and 'finishing' a tulpa in less than a month, perhaps a week, or even a few days. I myself don't mind you posting this guide here(if you don't count the fact that it's severely outdated), but you should at least say who's guide it is, or else people will assume it was you who made it, and then they'll learn that it was not and then assume you're copying someone else's work and saying it's your own. Could you at least edit the post and say where you got it from, and also who's it is? And put it in a spoiler or something, it's taking up a lot of space. Wait, why? Headaches don't make tulpaforcing easier or something, they're just a sign that your brain is using 'muscles' (that's not the right word, but it'll do) that it's not used to using a lot. It probably just means you're not used to using your minds eye so much. However, the reason it's considered a good sign is that you it means that you are indeed using your mind in someway, meaning you're most likely doing it right. (and if you don't get a headache, don't worry, some people get them, some people don't. Don't assume you're doing everything wrong if you don't get one. ) It's almost like training any other muscle in your body; say for example, if you've gone your whole life never working out, and then you suddenly put your body through a tough work-out session, then naturally in the next hour your everything will feel like @!£$, because it's not used to doing so much in a short period of time. Same thing with your brain; if you've rarely used your mind's eye before in your life, and then start on making a tulpa, well then of course you're gonna have a mild headache within the next hour or so. Well it certainty can't hurt(if you don't count possible headaches) to narrate. Narration is always a good thing, no matter what you're next goal is. Again with the "believe it and it will happen" deal. If you believe they can enter your mind, possess you, and make you jump off a bridge, then all you've probably done is make that possibility all the more possible just by believing it can happen. If you don't believe they can enter your mind and force you to do something you don't want, then they won't, because you don't believe they can do that. In other words, there is nothing to fear except fear itself. All of these beliefs that tulpas can be bad and evil won't be true if you just by the simple fact that you don't want them to happen. There is no magic gimmick you need to do to make sure they don't become nasty; If you don't want them to be nasty, then boom, they won't be nasty. You can have intrusive thoughts of them doing such things, but that's all they are; thoughts. Push those thoughts out the way and go back to whatever you were doing with your tulpa. Now go force you damn fillies, before I come over there and molest you all myself.

Hm. So, if he's saying that making a tulpa will make you insane, basically, he's claiming to have knowledge and experience regarding interaction with tulpas himself, or has at least researched the concept. Or, he is speaking out of fear and ignorance on something he refuses to understand. How much research has he done regarding tulpas? I ask because, would you rather listen to the guy that read the book half-way though(you), or the guy that read the first page and drew up conclusions as to what the rest of the book would be like(your brother)? As far as I can see it, you are the one out of either of you that has spent more time researching this phenomenon. It's not like he's gonna' send you to some mental health institution or something, brothers don't do that. But, if he wanted to understand your point of view, he would have taken a small bit of time out of his day to research this phenomenon. Which he most likely has not. So, until he does, he has nothing to back up his claims, and as such has given you no reason to believe them. Besides; why be sane, when you can be happy? Mhm.

... ..Do I have to spank a filly? Now now, Crep. There's no need for that. She's just new to this, that's all. When you say, 'create tulpas of their own', do you mean that your tulpa will create a tulpa that only it can see(and you can't)? And then that tulpa will create one that the previous one can't see, and so on? If so; No. Well, I don't mean, "That's not possible." I don't see why it couldn't be possible, but as Mindrop said, they wouldn't do it without your permission. And I doubt they would have any reason to do that in the first place. As a (rather sexy) tulpa myself, I don't understand what the benefit of such a thing would be. And by the way, there is a limit on how many tulpas you can interact with, and it's simply based on how many the host's mind can handle at that time. And when it does reach that limit, it's not like the host's brain explodes or they go crazy or something, it'll probably just simply be harder to concentrate on the tulpae, that's all. Yeah, that just means they are more or less a hallucination on all of your senses. That includes sight, touch, sound, smell and even taste. (yummy.) However though, they aren't there in reality. Meaning that only you can see it. And, while you can feel their fur run though your fingers, your hand will pass right though them as if they were made of air.(However though, I have heard that it is possible to train yourself to subconsciously stop your hand from passing though them, to make them feel even more real I presume.) That's a rather vague question. I'm not really sure what you mean. Do you mean, 'what does it feel like having them inside your head?' Or perhaps, 'how real do they seem/feel?' Screw it; I'll answer them both, because I bet all of you are wondering them both now that I asked them. 'what does it feel like having them inside your head?' Well, I don't really get any 'pressures' in my head like many people get. All I can really 'feel' when they talk is their mind-voice. It feels and sounds closely like as if I were to talk to myself in my head, except it has their own voice. 'how real do they seem/feel?' I can't really answer this question, since I have (still!) spent minimal amounts of time on imposing them on my senses. However, I can vaguely feel her fur on my skin when they come into contact, and I've noticed that this touch can be felt slightly stronger in the wonderland. Speaking of the wonderland; my ability to see things clearly has only increased slightly since I first started creating and visiting it a number of months ago, but it's noticeable at least. I'm sort of getting the hang of it now. My visualization skills in general have gotten at least a little bit better it seems. Yeah. It really is one of those things that you need to believe it, if you want to see it. But, for many people,(including myself when I first found out about them) it's also something people want to see it, before they can believe it. In other words, skeptics can't really go "Oh, I think it's all a load a BS, but I'm gonna try and make one just to be sure and/or to prove that they are all liars." Because belief is the key element to starting off a tulpa, as well as for keeping them alive. I myself was a skeptic when I heard all about tulpas. I'm really surprised I actually managed to make one at all, due to how much I prefer trying to come up with scientific explanations for things I don't understand. However though, I like to think that the one thing that got myself into creating a tulpa, even though I was a big skeptic of it all(and still am), was that... I wanted to believe. I wanted them to be a thing. In fact, I dare say I NEEDED them to be a thing. If I didn't find out about tulpas, I like to think that I would probably be laying in my room all day depressed about the fact that I wouldn't ever meet anything that remotely resembled at least SOMEPONY from the MLP:FiM universe(Yup, I was actually like that at times). So yeah, tulpas; They may not be what people would call 'healthy' for my 'sanity', but they are the closest thing I can get without breaking the laws of everything and finding some universe where the MLP:FiM universe is actually a thing. I like to think that, if anything, my tulpas are about the only thing that have kept me from going insane. (if you don't count the internet ) But anyway, back on topic; if you want to find yourself with a tulpa, you will most likely need to be either a lonely person in need of companionship, or, someone who is open-minded enough to not shut out the idea. Or both. It won't be completely impossible, but you'll most likely be finding yourself having a really hard time making one if you don't even believe the whole idea is possible to begin with. And so, because you don't fit in either of those two categories, it will probably be a complete waste of time for you if you happened to try and make one, because as you said, your brain believes it's a load of BS. And thanks to that, it will then also try and reinforce that conclusion in any way it can. Because brains don't like being wrong.

Good. Now the only people that will make tulpas are people that are skeptic of how it's possible to make something that exists entirely in the mind a physical being, and then they'll research tulpas and realize it's april fool's, and then probably make one for themselves in the name of science and/or companionship. AKA no more idiots will create tulpas and make sex slaves out of them. HURRAH!! Unless the host is the slave. Like me, apparently. *Cries* [silly] Your face should shut down for the day. *Raspberry* [/silly] Yeah, and then you won't actually learn anything. And besides, what makes you think Twilight will know the answer to the questions if you don't yourself. A tulpa can only know as much as you, unless they know how to access your subconscious for answers, which is not something most tulpas are born with. Now, that most likely won't actually end up happening if the above scenario took place, but I don't recommend making tulpae for the sake of making homework and tests easier. They are for companionship; you need to love them, and not have any ulterior motives for their existence if you want them to be the best they can be. I'm not saying; "Oh, DON'T have them do tests because that's bad and you should feel bad." But rather; don't make them for the SOLE purpose of making a small part of your life easier, like tests, and then get rid of them like they are some throwaway slave. They won't like you for that. Because remember, the most likely outcome, is that the tulpa is gonna' stay with you for the rest of your life, AND they can be very difficult to get rid of, depending on how well developed and sentient they are. Basically, if you don't think you will be able to handle them for most likely the rest of your life, just don't make a tulpa. Simple as that. Besides, even if you did make a Twilight tulpa, and she WAS a know it all - like how she is in the show - I think it would be in character for her to refuse to do it for you, stating that "It's YOUR test, YOU need to learn it. It's for your own good." Not because she can't do it, but because she will see you as lazy and unable to appreciate education. Especially if it's science. And you know how many apocalypses' she will bring if she finds out you don't appreciate science. AND, it's also not a good idea to make a tulpa that has a background story in the first place, or else they might have an 'identity crisis' and believe that they are that character, and that they were pulled out of their universe to be friends with some guy that wants to use them for a test. I don't know about them, but If that happened to me, I would @£!$ing kill myself. And the host. Jus' sayin'. Liar, you wouldn't hurt a fly. Y- you're right, I wouldn't. But still! In over words, try and make an original character if you can. Things will be much simpler in the long run. I know it might be hard to make an OC instead of a character you really REALLY like, but it's a very big risk. I too also wanted a Twilight tulpa very bad, but I eventually realized that no matter how close her personality is to Twi, it just won't be her... and... And... she's... Not real... *Sheds tear* There there. *Pats his back* It's okay. *Sobbing uncontrollably, bringing Crep into a big hug* However though, *Face suddenly returns to normal* If you insist on making a character that has backstory, then the best tip I can give you is to at least make sure both you and your tulpa knows that they aren't that character from the show. Maybe then your tulpa won't have an identity crisis. Maybe. ... Though then again, there isn't anything stopping yourself from getting depressed a year down the line when you just come to the realization that she isn't actually whatever character she is from whatever show. So... yeah... ... Then again, Brisineo made a tulpa of Tia' and she pretty much acknowledged from the start that she wasn't Celestia. And Bris didn't get depressed over that she's not real. ... But.. he also didn't really have that sort of attachment to her. ... It was probably just the muscles in your eyelids twitching, or in your cheek if it was under them. Means you're gonna die. ..Ben, April fools is over now. Huh? *Checks non-existent watch on wrist* Oh. Darn. Uhh... I mean, you're fine, it's probably nothing. Oh oh oh! Gimme gimme! I was having similar problems myself uploading this post too. If anyone else is having problems, Mindrop told me that there's been an error with the '@mention' button recently for some reason.

I think what he's trying to say, is that the things we do on the internet, are about just as impactful on the world as staring at a brick wall. Playing on console video games and watching TV are not very different either in that regard. I do agree with what he's saying; there are a lot more productive things I could be doing with my time instead of playing video games and watching cat videos. But at the end of the day, doesn't the fact that whatever it is I do on the internet is about as impactful on the world as staring at a brick wall, also apply to pretty much everything else as well? It's difficult to explain, so I'll let Hank Green from Vlogbrothers explain what I'm trying to say: (Also, you might want to turn your sound down, as the start contains a crowd of people shouting.)

Oh my god!! Guys I need help! I don't have time to explain, but Crepuscule has somehow gotten loose from my mind!! She's REAL, as in physically! I don't know how it happened but she's about to do some bad things and I don't know where she is!! I just woke up not 10 minutes ago with my hands tied to the bed, but she didn't do that good of a job so it was quite easy, but anyway! I found a note written in purple ink next to the bed saying: ----- Hi Benny, just going to quickly skin your family alive. Then I'm coming back to molest you. I'm sure you'll love it. Make sure you're nice and wet for me when I get back. I know I will be for you. *wink* I'll be back at about 12:00. Oh yeah, then I'm gonna skin you alive too. Slowly. While I fellate you. BYE! <3 P.S: Tazers. ------ IT'S 11:58!! I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY FAMILY IS! I looked all around the house for them, she must have done something to them!! Guys I'm scared, I don't know what to do! I think I'm gonna call the police an oh god I think I heard the door open downstairs! Oh no oh no oh noohnohohnoohno I can hear her downstairs, she's calling my name!! SOMEONNE HHGELPP ME I DON'T WANTT TO DIE HEELP M- qioyhfg70 qafuh Oh hey guys! It's me again. Nothing much happening here really. Just wanted to say we're well and I've just finished skinning Rizzy ali- I MEAN he's doing well too. He's just a bit... tuckered out right now you could say. So yeah, That's all. Not really doing anything for April Fools day today. Nope. ... ... ... ...

Well, this guide Rizzy found a while back has been very helpful for us. I hope it'll help you too. --- Hey guys, it's me, Crepuscule. Just a quick update on some things that have been happening recently. You might be wondering why I've decided to be the one to start off this post instead of Rizzy. Well, that's because I'VE SEALED HIS CONSCIOUS AWAY AND I'M CURRENTLY IN THE MIDST OF POSSESSING HIS BODY!! ..Well, okay no, I haven't actually sealed him away, but he IS letting me temporarily possess his body so I can type this very message! I'm not kidding, this is SO AWESOME! So yep, we've finally figured out how to 'switch' bodies! And it's actually simpler and not as spooky as you might think. In fact, we kind of figured it out on our own. But despite that, it's actually rather difficult to explain. Try and think of it like this; our personalities have 'switched' in a way. Basically, my personality has taken over his body, and his own personality is instead in a tulpa-like state. But he can still see everything just as normally. Almost nothing really changes. In fact, he kind of describes it like as more like a combination of hypnotism and role-playing, but he says it still in a way feels like it's not him. *Blinks* And the act of switching is also seamless for us. As she said, it's not as spooky or complicated to actually do as some people make it out to be. But it's still rather difficult to explain it. I still see everything as normal, and my senses work just as well as they always do, it's just that - as simply as I can put it - my personality becomes that of Crepuscule's, and my actual personality becomes a mindvoice and have - hence the name - switched places with her. But again, I can still see everything as normal as ever, and I actually don't really feel like as if I have lost even a slight amount of control of my body, but it still doesn't feel like me. It's complicated, as we've said. Basically, I get her personality, mine becomes a mindvoice, and it all plays out from there. We've actually known about how to do this for quite a while, and done it a few times already, but we were always held back by the fear that what we were doing was actually not switching at all. And because of that, actually doing it makes it much more difficult to keep the 'connection' going if you will. It was easy for Crepuscule to 'fall out' of my body because of my paranoia about whether I was doing it right. But, it turns out it really is that simple in practice. And it seems once you realise that, it's plain sailing the rest of the way. Or at least that's how it is for us. So far, the only kinda weird thing about this whole switching thing, is that - for us - the 'connection' is strongest when the following happens: I'm in a dark or at least dim room. And I'm completely NAKED. ..Okay maybe not completely, she let's me keep my boxers on. Usually. And I've noticed it only gets stronger when I'm the one taking dem clothes off. *Blush* A- anyway, I think I know why it is like this for us. The reason for the dark room is because it just simply makes it easier to imagine her form around my body, helping me believe it's her. I can sort of feel like I have her face(more humanized however), and, I can also feel the presence of her mane on my head, and her braided hair down my back, which also helps me feel like it's her. And as for the reason for no clothes, they are just distracting. The clothes I wear don't really feel right for her. It just feels strange for me to imagine her in these clothes. However, all this seems like it'll be irrelevant, as it seems like we're quickly learning and getting used to the whole switching thing. It's already becoming quite easy to switch without the need of doing any of these; they only serve to make the connection much, much stronger and everything else easier to imagine. Speaking of which, I like this human form you made for me. I like to use this form for when we switch; it's rather weird to be a pony in a human body. Yeah... a- and it would be better if you wore some clothes along with it. ... *Bedroom eyes* Why Rizzy? *Slowly walks towards Riz with a mischievous smile* Are you... embarrassed? I... um... y- yes, I- I'm... very embarrassed. P-please put something on. But why, Rizzy? *Gently puts hands on his shoulders* Don't you like seeing me like this? I-I-I... U-umm... y-you look very beautiful, C-crep. N-now please, put something o- Or what? *Raises eyebrow* What are you going to do, Rizzy? *Stares deeply into his eyes* ...I-I... I... *Slowly curls into fetal position, never breaking eye contact with her* *Bends down, coming to eye level with him* Nothing. That's what you're going to do. Isn't it? *Raises eyebrow* ..*Nods fearfully* Mm-hm. Just as I thought. *Gently smiles as she slowly strokes Riz's chin* Now get on the bed, before I possess you and use your body to spank myself again. Y-yes master.

Oh, so many sex jokes, I don't know which one to choose. *Sigh* No, it hasn't really improved that much for me. Same vagueness. ... *Stares daggers at BlackJack* ...*Evil grin* Oh my, BlackJack, I didn't know you liked going THAT low on ponies. OOOHHH!! Oh dear! Oh yeah, can you feel that BURN BlackJack!? OR...! Maybe she's even... gone low on some MARES!! OOOHHHHHH!! OH MY GOD!! AHAHAHAHAHAH!!! I- I... um... *Realizes no one else is laughing* I um...*Ahem*... I uh... ... ... ... T-too soon? *Pupils shrink in realization* ... W- wait, you're not? *Flips page back to Ano's 'rant' a few days ago* ... Oooooohhh... I seeee... *Looks at Crep* You didn't remind me of this? Excuse me, when was it my job to remember every little thing? ... *Looks back to Ano and Phoenix* ... Hmm. ... *Laughs out loud, slowly bringing a gun to his own head*
