eo_tulpo & Fi Progress Log

[eo_tulpo]

(Please excuse if I seem kind of "out of it" when I write these, I'm usually right out of a tulpaforcing session when I start)

 

Day 1

This day was actually a day before I started writing this. I worked a bit on personality and form, nothing notable happened aside from me coming up with a "concept" form and a rough personality for her.

 

Day 2

Wow, today was the first day I could actually focus well - I found that wrapping a blanket around my head tight enough that it keeps my eyes closed without any input on my part helps A LOT. I guess I was focusing too much on keeping my eyes closed before. I also tried that symbolic "solution" for parroting/puppeting someone here came up with (I don't remember who, and I'm on my phone as I write this so I can't check at the moment), and it seemed to really help! Thanks, whoever it was.

Anyway, I got A LOT done in one session, I didn't time it but I'm estimating that it was between 3~5 hours long. I went through all 16 of her personality traits, and basically finalized her form (except her eyes, legs, feet, neck and mouth - having some trouble with visualizing those for some reason).

What I did for her traits was imagine her doing things associated with the specific trait (not puppeting - I was simply imagining it, not actually making the "real" her do it), then sort of take "snapshots" and form them all into some kind of a lump of pictures, and it would kind of convert into an orb of light and absorb into her. Each trait took between 3~20 minutes to do this for, depending on the complexity of the trait (for example, "shy" and "calm" were quite easy, but "quirky" and "thoughtful" took a while). Afterwards, I asked her what she wanted to be named, and the name "Fi" came into my mind. She didn't literally say it with a voice, but she did tell me some way, and it's a very nice and simple name, I think.

I might force again later, since today is one of the rare days that I'm completely alone in my house, so I might as well take advantage of it.

Wait, you're making Fi as in the Skyward Sword character?

No, I haven't played SS yet, I didn't know there was a characrer named Fi in it.

My tulpa isn't based on an existing character.

[glitchthe3rd]

OK, that makes sense I guess.

Day 2 - Continued

HOLY SHIT. I don't know what happened, but just as I was going to go on the IRC, I decided "eh, might as well try forcing for a bit first." I just layed down and closed my eyes and imagined Fi. I had trouble visualizing her, then suddenly, BAM, out of nowhere I got a huge headache and my heart started beating like crazy. I definitely felt something from Fi.

I couldn't continue forcing though, my heart was beating so fast that it was distracting me.

Day 3

Gonna try playing some vidya with Fi today. Trying to think of what games she'd like.

Day 3 - Continued

Alright, I thought of some games I've played that she might like: Pokemon Channel, Harvest Moon: Another Wonderful Life, and Super Scribblenauts. About to start forcing now.

Day 3 - Continued Again

Didn't get much forcing done today. Only about 20 minutes. I'll try to make up for it tonight, or if that doesn't work out, tomorrow.
