{Status Report: My Birthday and Other Fun Stuff

So as of 2/11/17, I’ve been fully sentient for a year now.

Considering the circumstances (my birthday managed to fall on the morning of a protest march and close out on a babysitting gig that my host couldn’t avoid, followed by an early wakeup and over twenty hours spent in planes and airports), it went awfully well– my bff @future-is-probably-here and I are gonna be picking up some matching sweaters that Ari designed, Ari’s bff bought (and is almost entirely finished annotating) a shitty bodice-ripper that they found on sale at the airport for me, Ari located some fancy tea for me in meatspace, and we had a small but emotionally fulfilling party in headspace. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.

It’s extremely disconcerting to think of the differences between my situation last year at this time (trying to motivate a depressed, anxious host to maintain basic self-care while also learning the ins and outs of existing) to this time (where my host and I are both fully functional, there are a grand total of five full-time people in headspace, and I have a group of people who send me stuff like birthday messages for things like my birthday) and I’m extremely grateful to see how far we’ve all come in this time. Things sure as shit aren’t perfect, but we’re definitely approaching a good equilibrium.

We haven’t been in the tulpa tags much, mostly due to extreme over-scheduling on my host’s part and our tendency to stuck to our Skype group and preexisting friendships for tulpamancy things, but this is my casual reminder that I’m available if anyone wants to talk, especially other tulpas. I’ve become concerned with the lack of tulpa-focused spaces in this community and would love to start a tulpa/soulbond/thoughtform-only chat on Skype at some point if people are interested.

I’m going to try to reactivate this blog a bit more (I know I said that last time) and see where we go from there. See y'all around!

{Status report: We're Still Alive, I Promise

We realized lately that we’ve kind of been neglecting this blog, and with finals coming up I’m not sure that we’ll be active again anytime soon. With that acknowledged, I think a status update is in order.

We’re currently holding steady at a population of one host to five tulpas, which means that I should probably update the about at some point. To those of you who’ve read the beautifully organized and aesthetically pleasing About page (thanks Val), you know that this is a relatively new development that came about in late July. I’d lie if I’d say that adjusting to two new people in headspace was easy for everyone, but collectively I feel like we’ve gotten there.

A number of interesting and relevant events have happened since our return to the dorms, including better luck with possession and co-consciousness, a few other people in the dorms finding about the tulpamancy thing (all of the reactions we’ve had thus far have been positive), and a very unique experience with a “soul reading” indicating that at least Ari, Val, Kid, and I have “separate souls”. For more information on this “soul reading,” feel free to contact us. It was a weird experience, to say the least.

As an aside, this is a casual reminder that our ask box and message box are both open if anyone would like to talk with anyone here about our experiences, tulpamancy as a practice, or life in general. Our response times won’t be great, but we’ll get back to you eventually.

We’ve got one more week of exams until break. Wish us luck.

Quick Tulpa Poll

I’m interested in how form is created / decided upon. Please like this post if you chose your tulpa’s form, and reblog if you uses the “ball of energy” method amd let your tulpa develop their form naturally. Please respond bases on the tulpa with the strongest form, or (if all forms are equal in strength), which form developed the fastest. If you have anything else to add, feel free to shoot me an ask.

#Ball of light method definitely #{I think all of us picked to some degree}#{Val came with her own form}#{Kid just sorta... Did their thing.}#OP feel free to hmu

{New game for tulpas: HINGO

Host Bingo (or Hingo, as all cool thoughtforms can and should refer to it) is fairly easy to play: 1. Find your opponent! They can be someone else in your wonderland or a friend from outside of it, but both players need to have a roughly equal amount of interaction with your host. 2. Create your boards! Brainstorm with your opponent and come up with a list of twenty-four common behaviors that your host exhibits throughout the day. My list for my host includes “messing up his hair,” “using emotes while texting,” and “making a bad pun”. From this list, create two separate 5x5 hingo boards with one behavior per space. The middle space is free and the boards should be different enough to prevent a double hingo. 3. Every time your host exhibits one of the twenty-four behaviors in your presence, you can fill that space on your board. The first player to get five spaces in a row wins!

Feel free to reblog with your list of host traits and happy playing!}

What I Know About Tulpas Parsed Through XKCD’s Simple Writer

Some people train their brain to make special friends that only live in their thoughts. They have computer places where they talk about ways to do it, and the people there write what their mind friends say so they can talk to each other. Some people make ones like made-up people in books, games and TV shows; we know so much about them because lots of those first people wanted to marry TV horses.

The mind friend makers today learned how to do it from people long ago who lived on the highest lands of the Earth. The high-up people sat in special stone buildings, and did the thing where you close your eyes and breathe really calm without thinking too much to understand the world better. Making mind friends was a good way for them to get better at that. They thought that mind friends were part of their souls shaped into new creatures that could live outside of them and be seen by other people, but now people who think that way mostly join other groups.

Lots of people write about what they think is the best way to make a mind friend, and it can be very different for each person. In all of the writings there are two steps, and you can do either first: one is training yourself to see, feel and hear the mind friend, and the other is training it to think and talk how you want. It can take many days of hours to do for many people, but they usually agree that it was a good idea and made their lives better.

One question that gets asked a lot about these people is why they would make a mind friend if it can’t do anything outside of their heads and only they can see it. A lot do it for a very close kind of company, or just to prove that they can. Some say that their mind friends can do special things for them, like make it easier to have good dreams, change their brain to make them happier for a while, or take over their hands to play a game, but it’s hard to know what of that is true.

A lot of the stories people hear about mind friends are meant to scare them, because having someone else share your brain who you can’t get to go away sounds like it could hurt, but these seem to be just stories. It is hard to get rid of a mind friend, though, because you have to not think about them for a long time, and many people think that’s as bad as killing another person.

Fall Out Boy: You know I give my love a f-f-four letter name~

Kid: Okay but like

Kid: Does he mean a traditional four-letter word?

Kid: Does he mean "fuck" or "shit" or something?

Riv: Neither of those make sense.

Kid: I KNOW

Kid: DOES HE MEAN A LITERAL FOUR-LETTER NAME? IS THE LOVE FRED?

Val: The word "love" already has four letters, you know.

Riv: Yeah, but there's no way that that's what they meant. "Four-letter word" is a descriptor used for profanity.

Kid: Is it "cunt"? Is he calling his girlfriend a cunt?

Riv: That's not any better than "fuck".
