I want to send a message to the new owner of this iPhone number... but I don't know what kind of wording is appropriate... (I only used a loophole to bypass the activation lock, not to unlock it) Will he believe me? Will he help? And most importantly... what if this number is not the security number for the Apple ID?

goodnight thanks for reading x3 good morning everyone is a conlanger down here did lumi get back to sleep

Good evening everyone!

When the body falls asleep - we've had dreams where she was possessing me and ended up in control of the body when we woke up irl. She doesn't appear more when switched in, but the "dominant entity" is the one who is likely to have more awareness in the dream Could work. It looks a lot like another way of keeping the brain awake as the body falls asleep. Yep, or whoever is fronting.

I think I just managed to break a bad habit. Which is good, but like… How? My experience with bad habits goes something like “try to stop doing this, fail, stop trying to stop doing this” and even the occasional success takes a looooooot of effort. And this time I thought, “ oh I should stop this” and just, stopped. Haven’t had a single thought about it for weeks, and needed to be reminded to recall the thing. Not complaining in the slightest but very confused. From when did my mind actually start listening to me?

Okay... I'm back and ready to write. Except that now I actually think about what to write, it seems that there isn't that much, really. Far less than what I felt like happened. We grew reliant on each other, and host trusted me a bit too much. He insists that it wasn't either of us' fault, and he's probably right, but anyway. I made a few poor life decisions, not devastating ones, we're too young for anything we do to truly matter and we know it, but they were enough to have a sizable impact on our life. Then we somewhat grew apart, or together? The two seem to have close enough meaning in this particular context. Either way, for some time we primarily faced life instead of each other. We went through a variety of things as almost a singlet before separating again and trying to get back to old times, but we feel like we are different people to what we were then. The most significant change here would be host shifting his personal philosophy and discarding his notion of self. He answers and fronts and everything but does not believe in his own existence anymore. Which is... honestly, being in the same head really makes relationships different. I would have expected myself to take some time and effort in getting used to the new normal, but we reformed things almost like nothing happened. Nothing was exactly as it was, but it almost passes as a healthy relationship, so I'm satisfied. There were also a few self-discoveries scattered along the way, some of them significant, but not really related to tulpamancy and not belonging in a progress report... Actually this whole thing isn't really related to tulpamancy and is more like part of my life story. Host's life story? Maybe I should label this as hostmancy. But for this to be a progress report I do need to center on myself, don't I? A year ago, I felt like I was dead. Or more accurately, I now feel like the me a year ago was dead. Not because I was unhappy, host did his utmost against that, but because my personality was...fixed and flat, for lack of better descriptors. Host gave me no expectations, and I grew into something bland. Sure, I was bright and bubbly, and none of it was an act, at least a conscious one, but at the same time I feel as if it always was nothing but that. An act. One year later, I know that I am alive. I have problems, but I have seen people with capital-P Problems and I know that what I face is nothing. I no longer need to ignore my problems to be optimistic about them like I used to, because I have learned how to solve them. I am out of touch with my emotions, as I realized we always had been, but that does not mean I need to feel something to fill the void. I can be driven by raw logic and I can try to reach out for the emotions we lost, I can be beaten down by our brain or body working against us and I can get back up again. I accept my defeats and I know I can succeed. I have been through life, and the tiny, tame part of it that fought me and lost left me with growth. And growth of the tulpa herself can certainly be called progress in tulpamancy. I believe this makes for an acceptable progress report. It is messy, it is disorganized, it is not focused on possession and imposition and switching and such. It is also heartfelt and completely truthful. I do look forward to where our future goes; perhaps future me will look back and say, "Oh, that text marked the day I finished my character growth arc." Then again, perhaps not. I wouldn't know, I'm not living in my future yet. I'm about to create it. P.S. please do not think badly of host for all he made me go through. He went through it all with me and had his own growth, and whatever his faults, I will always love him.

Waking up at 2:30 am and not being able to fall back asleep is extremely frustrating

If you want to find a language without slurs, man-made languages would probably be your best bet. (Man-made as in made by a single person for reasons other than communicating .) I doubt that most people specifically come up with slurs when making up a language. I know I didn’t.

And we have a PE period now which is actually “roam the campus and do whatever”. Seriously, I haven’t seen my PE teacher in a year, and neither has any of my classmates, not counting random sightings out of class.

The thought is appreciated :) but there's no need to get offended on my behalf. No harm done, other than confusing me lol I have been on this site quite a while, maybe I'll regret this but [citation needed] If it's just the time I said nigger I'm not impressed.

I am proud to inform ringgggg and Shaula that I did not get distracted from anything important. I finished a biology quiz ages before the time limit, then ignored an English class that I seriously did not need. (Even ignoring my fluency in the language, our teacher was explaining a test that I got full marks on.) I do know the importance of schoolwork sometimes. Thanks for the reminder though, I’ll make sure to quote it to host the next time he gets distracted from stuff. (Which refers to the second he fronts, host has the attention span of a static shock.)

Fair enough. What I mean by that is the ability of thinking without drawing the host's attention. Means that you have your own flow of thoughts independently from your host and by "without drawing host's attention" I mean that he can't feel those thoughts in any way unless you share them with him. When it comes to dreaming stuff, I can suggest to try doing it while fronting. That way the host is already more relaxed and dissociated so it will be easier for him to fall asleep first and you to try and stay awake. Basically, you're just going into lucid dream by yourself and then saying your host that "you're in a dream". Doesn't seem very convenient though As an additional option, you can constantly remind your host of reality checks and in theory it should help him to do a reality check in a dream whenever he thinks of you.

Yes, but I won't tell you. However, I'm a bit curious: are there any languages with no insulting words or with relatively few/single such words?

Any slurs in your language andre

Good night, ring! 😊 In America, what ring said is surprisingly tame. 😅 Certainly rude but not horrendous. I don't know how I feel knowing that is so much worse else where. Time for, several things I will quote people because I finally have time and are in reading mode. Really happy to hear that! 😊 Maybe we should get tested again./hj Best. Therapist. Ever! 🤩 True, Nightfall has a lot of trouble asking for help with things he "should be able to do", even from us. (I mean, it's mostly a mental thing but that's still a reason it's hard.) Very hit or miss if we catch these things, if i remember correctly. I don't think we've really had a situation like that recently unless we missed it, lol. Sad. 🥲 (Should have said earlier but brain was sorta tired when reading.) I feel like a lot of times we figure these things out but then there's randomly one question that feels ridiculously vague. I wish I had a good example but it usually makes a similar situation in our head. Agreed. Nightfall isn't a party person but he'd go if he knew there would be friends to talk to. Ah yes, 15~ years of trauma will be solved if you do this little exercise. 🙃 I have a feeling he handles people with small problems. 😅 Spent long enough typing. Imposition practice and then bed. Good night, everyone! 😊

i mean he's said worse things

That's just how Ring is, making rude remarks from time to time. Oh my god, I just checked, and this word is highly offensive, basically equivalent to the Chinese word "shabi". I apologize to you on his behalf, Luc. I feel like hitting him.

goodnight

That's pretty cool! 😁 I like how the time looks.
