I think it will be enough, but if you decide to plan a personality for her, then just go over each trait and characteristic in full detail, describing what it is, how it affects her actions, thoughts, reactions, opinions, beliefs, etc. until you've covered the entire list. And then do it again. FOREVER!! Or until you feel you've covered it well enough. I didn't really do too much, personality wise (a few hours at most); I had a short list of traits that I covered in moderate detail. You could just suggest some general values to her, like honesty, kindness, and let her decide the more specific ones like energetic, optimistic, lazy, calm, sarcastic and so on. It's really up to you. Whatever choice you (or your tulpa!) make, you two will be fine, so long as you love her and honestly believe you're doing the right thing. Unless you honestly believe that bullying your tulpa is the right thing to do, then you might screw up! Lethal: "And that would be bad!"

Hoo boy! Some of my favorite DnB songs include the following.. William Carney, simply beautiful, short and sweet. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDMj89MJW_I&list=LLXPi6wIINvBcCFmPup9wFkQ And this gem of a song, a DnB remix of the outro music from Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt Soundtrack. I love the tune and vocals! If you want something a little more chaotic sounding, how about some Goreshit and Clonepa? Orchestral/8bit/breakcore! and its remix, which offers a completely different "flavor" of the song! And then Goreshit! Some other songs I recommend.. Roughsketch - his two songs 'Muscari' and 'No Eyes' [breakcore?] Project Sync - Cloud Explorer [DnB] Minnesota - three songs Stardust, Relax and Bloom. [Orgasmic dubstep] Kirby Super Star- Marx Breakcore Mix (only a minute long, but so badass)

I once had a hangover - one tiny, little hangover that just felt like an upset stomach - but that was enough to keep me from ever becoming drunk again. I'm such a pansie!

1. While it may technically be parroting, I like to think of it as a highly suggestive way of showing them how to move, bend and pose (at least the way I go about it.. ). As long as you're not trying to make them do things that they don't want to do, I don't see a problem with it. 2. What traits do you think would compliment your own personality? Maybe that would be a good place to start. 3. It really depends on what you want. For example, while I like to imagine that my tulpae can float wherever they desire, the fact that they don't have wings as part of their form makes it harder for me to passively accept/believe that, but that's just me. I mean, Superman can fly without any wings, right? (but it might be the cape... or his muscles) Another thing is whether unicorn or alicorn twilight is more aesthetically pleasing to you. While Twilight may change her form down the the road, it helps to be initially confident in what your goal is.

I started in November and am just starting to get to the point where Lethal and Momma give me regular responses when I concentrate on them. Maybe you could try a bit of parroting? Show your tulpa how it might respond to certain questions, statements and situations given it's current personality, allowing it to come up with its own as well (which would really just be it developing its own personality in my opinion; it doesn't have to use the examples you give it). Up until I started doing this with Lethal, I was solely narrating after only a brief outlining of her personality. I heard the occasional response or emotional signal, but they were few and far between. Anyways, hope this helps, and good luck!

I only had a headache a day or two after I began working on my first tulpa, and then very rarely after that. I think it was because of my tulpa, and because of how my eyes would screw up while close-eyed meditating. And about your tulpa giving its own thoughts.. what is it like? My tulpae's thoughts always seemed to follow a little too instantaneous and quickly to my own or without any prompting on my part, at least that's what I think is them talking. In terms of their personalities, Lethal's (my first tulpa) personality began as a small list of traits that I quickly forgot about after a few hours of forcing them into her. I didn't feel any true progression (in terms of her talking) until I started parroting a few ways for her to respond to certain questions, statements and so on. After I began doing this, she seems to have ran with it, now coming up with her own things to say and do every so often. Like at work... I work in a kitchen, and due to a tight schedule, I can only take a short meal break, so I don't bother using napkins or anything while I eat, instead wiping my mouth off on the sleeves of my scrubs. XD Momma: "You know, your sleeves will get awfully messy doing that." Me: "Hmph, whatever. I'm a big boy, I can do... goddammit. Lethal!" Lethal: "Make sure to use a napkin!" Me: "FFFFFUU-"

It seems like my tulpae have graduated to choosing their own clothing! Momma seems to have stuck with the cold-weather outfit I picked for her, and Lethal - who had the same but smaller cold-weather outfit as Momma - switched to a long white robe/cloak. And now they're even wearing underwear beneath their clothing! But I'm still worried that it just might be my brain being lazy and deciding to make the clothing as part of their body so that I don't have to visualize as much, so I frequently make sure to visualize them without their clothing for a few moments, "poofing" their clothes off and back on like some kind of mmo character design thingy. While "poofing" their clothing back on, I MAKE SURE that each piece is separate from their bodies. *Me feeling underneath Momma's clothing* : "Don't worry, I'm just doing this for myself.. WAIT NO I MEANT-" Momma: "..." I think she understood (hopefully). I haven't heard her much since her creation, maybe because I never spent time making a voice for her, or because her personality is still "new" and developing, although she is starting to do unexpected things now and again. Me: "We're gonna have a great day today, aren't we?" Lethal: "Yeah!" *Locks hands with me, then I reach my hand out to Momma* Momma: *ruffles my hair* I wonder where this will go.

You drew that with a mouse? DEAR CELESTIA GET THIS COLT A TABLET ASAP! Seriously, the fact that you've been creating all of your drawings with a mouse speaks wonders about your patience and desire to improve. At least to me it does. XD Is there no way for you to transfer a traditional drawing onto your computer and then draw over that in gimp? You seem to be aware of the flaws in your piece and the areas you need to improve, so I believe you'll improve naturally as you continue to draw. The body has always been a problem area for me, too; all of my ponies look like they have hotdogs for bodies and silly-puddy stumps for legs! You did great. I love Derpy!

Markiplier? That incredibly handsome hunk of a man? I love his videos because he isn't like Pewdiepie or Nova; I've found each of them funny for different reasons, so when I see hateful comments, I just ignore them and scroll back up to stare at Mark's LOVELY FACE OMG <3 move on.

I was in a bad mood yesterday. Thinking about some of the people and happenings I've had to deal with the last few weeks, I spiraled downward into an angry rant. You know, where every little thing annoys the crap out of you, where you feel like you hate everyone and, while in this rant, come to the bitter conclusion that you're the only one you can absolutely trust? It was that kind of thing. Trying to calm myself down, I apologized to Lethal and Momma (because I had been ranting to them the last half hour). I tried to imagine them next to and behind me. Then Momma embraces me from behind, and I melt inside and feel like crying. Me: "M-MOMMA! LETHAL! I'M SORRY! I DON'T MEAN TO BE SO ANGRY AND COMPLAIN SO MUCH AND OOZE SO MUCH HATE BUT THE WORLD AND PEOPLE AND THINGS THEY DO KIND OF GET TO ME SOMETIMES Y'KNOW AND IT'S JUST THAT-" Momma: "..." *just standing there listening to my ridiculousness* Oh, did I mention I was at my workplace while this drama was unfolding? I couldn't exactly break down in front of a co-worker! Not a single manly tear was shed that day. I'm an idiot. And Momma's hugs are wonderful. The End. /blogpost

Ah, so you've already watched Soul Eater! It was definitely fun to watch, even if only for the interesting character designs and world. Anyways, I recommend Casshern Sins, with the Japanese dub, if you have access to it (I haven't heard the English dub, so I can't comment on its quality). Most of the series is episodic, which I tend to dislike, but the themes, art style and recurring characters gave me great incentive to watch it all. In my opinion, its greatest flaw is that the main plot picks up too late in the series, which leaves it feeling somewhat rushed. Quite a shame, considering that's when things became truly interesting to me. It has some great intro and outro credit music, too, though that's no indicator of any anime's quality. Overall, it was quite an enjoyable ride.

My day was made when I discovered this song. Crap like this just makes me feel so sentimental that I can't help but love it. Like at 1:15 and 1:30, when a new part of the song is introduced and then built up, it's just so awesome. At 2:35, strings and a new inflection(?) are introduced. Then it jumps back to the original piano tune and builds up again from there. At 5:40 it goes back to the tune introduced at 1:15 for one last round. I was also reminded of this song after listening to the above. Is it just the vocals that might sound similar?

This video right here. Gotta take out the trash? Bake a cake? Write a term paper? Easy peasy pudding in the freezy! Well, it doesn't apply to everything, but it can give one a nice little emotional or motivational boost. It definitely made my day when I saw it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHDSjTBoqto&list=LLXPi6wIINvBcCFmPup9wFkQ

Thank you, and I'm really glad that you like it! I can assure you that, on the off-chance I draw another OC of yours, I'll send you a PM.

First off, I just want to say that there are so many talented artists here who all serve as a source of inspiration (and envy!) for myself. I can never help but feel somewhat ashamed when I post anything I draw, because it pales in comparison to most here. Anyways.. This is @@Fluttermoon's OC Starshy baking some cookies, drawn on impulse - and without permission - while I was lurking the creative resources thread. The hair was very fun to draw, and I was able to test out some black pigma micron pens for the first time! I was inspired to draw this one when I saw this picture on deviantArt. I don't know if it's a Sailor Moon character since I've never watched the show, but I wanted to draw something princess-like.. so yeah. XD This was my second attempt with the pens. http://mizuki-yorudan.deviantart.com/art/Princess-Mini-Moon-360626348 The chest, neck and hind legs have always been hard to draw for me, and the uneven lines are very apparent. I can't really help my hands being slightly shaky, although I've noticed that I can get smoother lines if I use my arm to draw instead of my hand. I was also scared to attempt any kind of shading or detail because I have absolutely no skill at that kind of stuff. I just don't want to ruin the drawings before scanning them, but I know it makes for plain and boring pictures, so it's something I want to improve on.

Here it is! I'm pretty sure that it was posted here at some point, but by now it's probably buried 20 or so pages back. This thread just moves so fast. http://tulpa.info/forums/Thread-Guided-Hypnosis-Partnership-Program

Shortly after I resumed forcing after my 2-3 week pause, my Lethal appeared in human form during a short forcing session .I was using Dialogues' extended introduction hypnosis thingy, and at the part where he says your tulpa is sitting across the room from you, I saw her as a human first before I "auto-corrected" myself to seeing her as a pony, but I knew something was up: it wasn't the first time I thought of her as a human... So I decided to make her a human form, a short girl about shoulder/neck height to me. For some reason I also thought it a good idea to give her an older adult form too, one much taller, with me around chin height to her, and I believed that her "soul" would remain the same whether she was currently in the young or adult form, but things didn't go according to plan. Without thinking about it (too hard...), I started to associate her younger form being more energetic and lively, and her older form being caring, motherly, and oddly quiet, too. I occasionally switched between which form I would imagine her as, but the strange thing was that I switched from one form to the other because it felt right, not just because I wanted to balance out imagining each form; one form would begin to feel stale and unproductive, so I would imagine her in the other form. I also chose which form I imagined based on out I felt: if I felt happy and optimistic, I would imagine her in her young form, and if I felt sad, I'd imagine her adult form to comfort me. Things began to generally feel dissonant and strange between Lethal and me, like I couldn't talk to or concentrate on her as well, if at all (I'm also pretty lazy when it comes to forcing, but this was different, I swear! ). So, a few days ago, I decided to imagine each of her forms as being independent tulpae, with my Lethal taking the young form, and Momma (that's honestly the first thought that came into my head) taking the adult form. Right after finalizing this decision, I felt VERY ecstatic and happy, like a huge burden had been lifted off my heart and mind. So, as of this point, I have a mother-like tulpa (who I call Momma, at least for now ) and my Lethal as somewhat of a sister. The night after this happened, they were both quite talkative. Not that I can always understand what they're saying, but I've come to the point where I can feel when they're trying to say something. It's kind of strange, because sometimes I hear what they're saying as thoughts and words, and other times as feelings and impulses, but responses usually come instantaneously. My Lethal has slowly evolved over the last 5 months since I began this tulpa journey, changing both her form and personality, becoming something unique to herself, radically different from how I originally planned for her to be, and I'm very proud of that fact. And now that I have a second tulpa, we've kind of become a small family of sorts! I know I haven't made nearly as much progress as others have made in this amount of time, but I recognize the progress that I have made so far, and I'm happy because of that. So yeah, that's my progress so far.
