Tulpa + Tulpa Romantic Relationships

[FadingSpectrum]

Najere: I keep seeing all these threads about tulpas and their hosts being involved in romantic relationships, but no-one seems to acknowledge the idea that two headmates other than the host could engage in one.

 

Najere: So I made my own thread.

Anyway. I'm not talking about the host nudging tulpae into a relationship because they look cute together. Granted, that could happen, and you can discuss it if it has. I'm referring to separate tulpae within a system finding that they like a fellow tulpa in their system quite a bit, and getting into a relationship with each other by themselves.

It's funny in the fact that I haven't heard of this within any tulpamantic system on .info so far.

 

I'm curious. I wonder why it simply doesn't (seem to) happen often among tulpamancers. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? To be frank, I bring up the topic on part because I am engaged in a relationship with one of my fellow headmates myself. That being Demetrius, another soulbond in here, rather than Fade the host.

 

If other systems here do have relationships between two non-host headmates, feel free to discuss them as well.

I only have one headmate. But I do find this topic interesting. I hope we get some positive responses. I am sure it has happened to someone somewhere.

Yeah, most of our members don't have multiple, compatible tulpas. There have been cases but they're fairly sparse so, again, I'm not sure any will show up in this thread. The difference between imagining your OTP making out and two sentient people in your own head deciding they like each other is kind of interesting. That being said, tulpas are naturally much more inclined to like their host that way than each other. I think most cases of this had some subconscious influence from the hosts' part. But, yeah, it's a thing. And one of the few subjects where I can't speak from experience.

[FadingSpectrum]

Yeah, most of our members don't have multiple, compatible tulpas.

 

Najere: I had guessed that the topic was sparse mostly because most systems here are comprised of pretty few tulpa. And of course, finding someone you like like within a pool of three or four people probably isn't easy. It might just have been easier for a such a pairing to happen in our system compared to most people's because of a larger pool of inhabitants, and Fade isn't everyone's primary occupation.

 

Tulpamantic systems are pretty host-centric, so I can imagine that they would have the greatest impact and interaction with the tulpae. There are those systems where the tulpae don't interact with each other or where they don't do much if the host isn't paying them attention. As such, the tulpa commonly gets more attached to the host than a fellow tulpa, and thus there are more tulpa-host relationships than tulpa-tulpa relationships within the systems at .info.

 

Most of this is just absent theorizing though.

[Luminesce]

Well, that sounds true enough for me. Like you just described us true. Sparseness of interactions means there's not much variety in what we do. Though it's not like my tulpas don't acknowledge each others' existence.. It feels like more of a "collaboration" between them, than interactions with each other for their own purposes. Ah, well, there's no denying we're "host-centric" I guess. That sounds bad.

 

If it means anything, Scarlet doesn't care about me at all and is more body-centric. Doesn't mean anything? Okay.

[FadingSpectrum]

Najere: Oh dear. I don't mean host-centric as a bad thing. It's simply an observable feature of most tulpamantic systems, that the host is the greatest power in the system. Since the host does create the tulpae, it makes sense. So it isn't anything dreadful.

The idea could use a better name.

Huh, its funny. I've actually been observing the formation of relationships within my own group. Though I have not seen anything that could be called romantic, I've kept track of enough mindfolk to notice friendships and social groups develop. While the group is still host-centric, and there are still multiple cases of people falling inactive for a time, I'be also noticed that they will keep themselves strong enough to persist by leaning upon one another, even during episodes where I just wasn't around. This is something I found both interesting, and precious, and I've made it my focus to try and garner this sort of behavior when I spend time with the residents.

 

I'll list a few of the sorts of relations I've noticed:

 

- Individuals being highly fond of each other

 

- Small groups of friends forming

 

- Family-like units forming, even so much as to adopt stray figures I can't attend to immediately.

 

- Single figures directly asking me to find/attend to a friend of their's

 

- A stronger person either making their own thought form to be their friend.

 

(If you would like me to go in to more detail about the above, feel free to ask to elaborate here or PM me.)

 

My ride was a bit wild, but although it was very much out of the ordinary, it DID allow me to see some neat inner dynamics, and see some legitimately sweet things. But even so, no romance, but since the group is still host-centric, they may well be avoiding it out of respect for me and my sensibilities. Though it's not exactly what you may be looking for, I feel it may add a bit to your inquiry about inner relations.

 

Peace.

[Tri] We don't have any romantic relationships of any sort inside our system currently. But, we have definitely heard about tulpa+tulpa relationships within systems. Just haven't heard of any on .info in a while, but we think we have. We have certainly seen such relationships on other forums. Might be mixing them up.
