9/11/14: I thought back to the "wingless trio" stuff. "Shou" (really Keystroke and Rainbow Dash) told me to stop thinking about it. I came up with the idea to become a psychology teacher and teach a class on tulpas. I sort of...laughed somewhat-maniacally at this.
[You're insane.]
{The idea has some merit. It just...might be really really difficult.}
When I read about Slenderman, I felt an itch in the center of my scalp. I ripped the antenna out and crumpled it up. I saw "Slenderman" holding the game controller, and calmly/sternly asked Dash and Keystroke to cut it out. Keystroke said that he'd done that to show me that my comparison of the "the more you know about Slenderman, the closer he gets to you" thing to tulpaforcing was completely ridiculous. I asked if they teamed up to point out my BS, and Dash said that they also teamed up to troll me sometimes. Against my better judgement, I read about the fanfic "Friendship Is Optimal". To get over all the Fridge Horror (both the Horror inherent in the fic and the added Horror that comes with being a tulpamancer), I planned to let...wait, how do I know I le--
[Shut up.]
{I'd say that Fridge Horror's just as bad as a creepypasta.}
That sentence was going to be "I let RD hypnotize me to calm me down", but no hypnosis happened, because I started freaking out about the possibility that people were merely puppets to their subconscious, and wondered if I could honestly use the word "let" in that sentence.
[I'm not sure they understand the "added Horror".]
See here: www.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/YMMV/FriendshipIsOptimal under "nightmare fuel". I can see parallels between some of that stuff and unethical tulpamancy and/or the host-tulpa-subconscious relationship.
RD briefly turned into a robotic version of herself (for the same reason Keystroke had turned into Slenderman).
