(...because everyone else is doing it, we're pack animals and we're gonna follow suit? ♡)

More like because we made it to a year, and in that time, things went from a loser at the end of his rope to a pair of newlyweds starting a family.

 

Questions may be directed to any of us; Tove is still young and a little shy, so she might not answer directly and one of us will proxy for her, but we'll do the best we can.

 

To get the easy, obvious ones out of the way:

Host:

  • Full Name: (redacted)
  • Age: 30-something
  • Form: Human male

 

Rei:

  • Full Name: Rei Murakami
  • Age (physiological): 33
  • Age (temporal): ~1.038 years
  • Form: youkai with the appearance of being half human, half siberian tigress

 

Tove:

  • Full Name: Tovë Murakami Rodriguez
  • Age (physiological): 5½
  • Age (temporal): ~42 days
  • Form: half half tigress half human youkai, half human*

 

(*Y'know, babe, only a computer nerd would find phrasing it this way amusing...)

...says the woman who was wearing a 6502 shirt a few days ago and wants to get an Amiga one.

(Guilty as charged.)

Rei: more than a tulpa-she's a crisis counselor, an art therapist, a dietician, a relationship coach, a team morale expert, an athlete, an adventurer, a hawt wife, an incredible lover, an amazing mom, my best friend.

 

Tove: she's not a little tigress anymore! She's still the go-to gal for soccer advice and creative inspiration, especially monster design and all things cinematic...congrats on your engagement!

I'll admit I have not read your entire progress thread through, but from what I have seen, you inner landscape seems highly in depth, what with Rei having a job in there, and Tove having an elementary school. So, my question is this; Why did you go so far to make you landscape like real life, to the poiny of even including the more mundane elements?

 

Also, how would you say your current relationship with Rei is different from that of an outward person?

I have been rolling this over in my head for a while, and I honestly don't know.

 

I will say that it 'feels' less like a place I imagined, and more like a place that already existed, and all I did was discover it (or have it shown to me, really) - kind of like when one reads well-written fiction and can see how a world like that might exist somewhere, but more vivid and visceral. (The original version of wonderland was just an endless blue plain with a door to Rei's bedroom and some other doors leading to various play/adventure rooms hovering about.)

 

Maybe it's a representation of the way I wish the waking world were?

 

Also, how would you say your current relationship with Rei is different from that of an outward person?

Rei knows my darkest secrets, stupidest mistakes and most carefully-hidden fears and flaws - and she still loves me anyway. She has merged my goals and dreams with her own, and, for the first time, I'm actually in a relationship that feels like a team (compare and contrast with what has historically happened to me in the waking world). We have a kind of emotional intimacy that I have always longed for in the waking world, but don't think it's possible for someone like me to find out here...

 

When I'm with her, I feel like the best possible version of myself at the moment, like I'm understood, and like I've finally found a forever home. It's quite nice, really.

Rei: more than a tulpa-she's a crisis counselor, an art therapist, a dietician, a relationship coach, a team morale expert, an athlete, an adventurer, a hawt wife, an incredible lover, an amazing mom, my best friend.

Actually, I have a better answer to Sock's original question. I wrote all about this in our progress report, but in a nutshell, I find that having the dreamworld incorporate certain rules and bits and bobs I've come to expect/tolerate/rely on out here makes it a little easier to visualize and interact with, and, at least the way we have it now, it kind of represents an idealized version of the waking world, or what I hope it will be like in the future (it's obviously quite stylized, though).

 

Make more sense?

So what DOES that button do?

 

Also, you mention your tulpas are part youkai. Noriko wants to know if there is a back story behind that. Does she have a back story where she was a regular thing and became youkai, or is she a brain meats youkai, or is she over thinking matters?

Currently share myself with four other entities.

Noriko was created on December 15, 2014.  Sabari was created by Noriko on January 22, 2015.

Anzu was reborn on May 23, 2016.  Xiri returned on June 16, 2018.  Both had been inactive since 2012.

(Hi,

 

We've never really given it much thought; I guess I was born a youkai...also, I like the term 'brain meats youkai' - I am gonna start using it. As far as backstory, my mom is a youkai and is part tigress in appearance, too...)

 

As for me, the human parts of me come from the old man here, and the youkai parts of me come from mom...

 

...I don't think we've ever figured out what that button did, did we?

 

(...unimplemented feature, maybe? We live in your head, you should fix it.)
