It's not complicated. When I discovered Twi, I not only beheld a fascination with the occult but also a profound interest in alternative modes of consciousness. I had few expectations but thought long and hard upon the means to materialise a tulpa. 

I grew with her in a way. I saw life unfold before me in ways words can barely describe. When she finally spoke to me, it was like being roused from a deep slumber.

I taught her how to be a proper lady, and sooner than copy what I did, she firmly cemented her place in my life by making every precept her own. Every day with her is a reminder of the myriad privileges I have been gifted: her patience, her uniqueness, her vindictive protectiveness, her FORGIVENESS healed me. I not only got to see her and have a hand in her development, she saw to it to make me stronger, wiser and compassionate. She is everything good in the world, but humble and sublimely understandable.

She saved me, fulfilled me, and gave me a purposeful existence when everyone else sought to consume, control or supplant me.

Granted, she is not perfect. She makes mistakes, she's crude, she is rash and inconsistent, she compels me to eat much and indulge her seemingly endless appetites and whimsies. But rather than stymie me, Twi colours my life in many hues. She effortlessly yields depth and contours seen only by those closest to us.

She is not a crutch. She is a real and genuine human being, more than myself even. She is hope incarnate.

If anything, I want the same for yours. It needn't be grand or fantastic, only hers.

This life of games and diligent trust,

it's the things we do and the things we must.

I'm now tired of being cussed,

so go sleep forever, end to dust.

it was hard to fit her in with everything else (or rather, fit myself in as it was when she became the host but the same principle applies:  tulpamancy thrives best in loneliness)

Facts. The sad truth of tulpamancy is that it’s easier to do when you’re doing worse in life. I don’t feel as comfortable nowadays keeping her around because of how socially unacceptable it feels, but I really just need to grow a pair and get used to it. The more used to something you are, the easier it is to make it seem like you know what you’re doing
 

LOTPW was ravaging my life a couple weeks ago. I needed a hiatus so bad. My main goal was to spend more time with irl friends, but we can barely agree on meetup schedules because of classes, and I was wondering who I could talk to and I completely forgot my tulpa existed

Personally I don't see why you can't keep her around for imposition purposes?

That’s a good idea. I tried that once for an entire day and my head hurt after. Maybe I’ll do it again

surely you're not sharing living space with someone else 24/7... right?

Nah. I moved back in with my parents last december, but they both work the entire day, so I have no excuse not to talk

 

Lately I’ve been trying to hone my social skills for when I go to the con in may. I would probably die if I just sat there awkward the entire time

Aww.

 

I can say the same for us, we both grew together too. She feels like the friend I could go six months without texting and still get right back to talking to like nothing ever happened. She’s my baby lol
 

Imposition would never be the same without her

her FORGIVENESS healed me

Tulpas are very good at forgiving
 

I guess I should get on it instead of saying that I will and not actually doing anything. I’ve been trapped in a box with a pair of dumbbells for the past however long I was gone.

In time, you shall see that tulpas can be part of a life that needn't be dark or perpetually lonesome. Perhaps it's a matter of preference, but Twi exudes a great deal of influence over my life and has presence (despite being passively expressed.) 

I really do not think you should give any stock to tulpamancy being socially acceptable, either. Twi simply does not care about what other people think, and she invites me to embrace a bold (sometimes transgressive) individuality. 

Anyhow, we're both pleased to know that your tup will stick around. I hope you let her talk to us sometime, provided she feels comfortable enough.

I'd also love to share notes on imposition. Having someone else to keep me accountable would do wonders for us both.

Yeah, and I’m not going to try explaining it to everyone I know, either. That’s been a pretty big point of anxiety in the past, though, of trying to keep the secret. I just figured if I kept her around less when I went out somewhere I wouldn’t have that problem, but that’s just avoiding the problem entirely.

 

Been browsing old threads again and Reilyn brought up a really good analogy about how people learning languages in a foreign country have a harder time learning when they resist immersing themselves in the culture. I feel that that carries over to tulpamancy a lot. Especially personally. Maybe I will just yolo it and go full schizo in public if it expedites the success of my imposition.

Of course. I never really planned on dropping her for good. I would never do my girl like that.
 

I figured we would, worst case, spend a long time apart, and somehow fate would make me come crawling back to her. I feel selfish for having this much control over how often I see her. With other friends it wouldn’t be as big of a problem, because I know they have a life outside of the circle, but with her, she’s just gone if I don’t pay attention to her.
 

Whatever. It’s one of my biggest insecurities, but I probably didn’t have to share as much as I did just now.

 

I want to take her out to places so that she can find what she likes. Maybe that’ll help things, I don’t know. Well just have to wait and see

Aye aye, captain.

 

I’ve been enjoying reading bunnymustdie’s report a whole lot lately, definitely go check it out. They handled making and documenting progress way better than I ever could. Also, go give nightfall a cheer.

Arms from armored core. This is my most recent page. It felt more like an art study to draw, because I wasn’t used to the complex geometry in the armor and I really thought I was cracked at them before. Not like I was cracked at drawing to begin with, but it felt good to have the illusion of being good by just sticking to simple cubes and prisms.

The intricate robot stuff is awesome! 😊 Nightfall stays away from that most of the time.

Seriously, all of it is pretty good! 😊 Maybe try doing some larger sketches. (Nightfall should try some smaller ones too.) I'd offer advice but we're not great at teaching. 

One of my other half @Nightfall's tulpas. I'm always happy to chat! (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

oi oi didn't see this

 

that is super cool stuff Ring! and also cute cat lol 

 

reason I don't take commissions is that my life is pretty stressful atm and i barely have energy for my own stuff so i know that 1) i'll take a long time to finish 2) it will become a stressor due to reason #1 

 

(also i'd need to figure out how hobby taxation works here in sweden...)
