River October 26, 2023 Share October 26, 2023 (edited) I have a tulpa almost 7 months old. We both are interested to add one more member to our system so that my tulpa would have a company. But I don't have time for creating a new tulpa. So is there any way to accept a walk-in tulpa? Edited October 26, 2023 by River Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hibiscus Queen October 26, 2023 Share October 26, 2023 I don't have much experience with walk ins, but I would simply just try to communicate with them and try to see if they answer "The sun will rise and we’ll bid farewell to forever All our happiness will only be a dream Oh darling won't you stay with me Cause all these seasons aren't the same without you In the darkest times you’d always light the way So darling won’t you stay" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringgggg October 26, 2023 Share October 26, 2023 (edited) Simple, just have a three-way conversation. Don’t overthink creating multiple tulpas; if it’s ever too much for you, just explain your situation to the walk-in and allow yourself to step back. If you choose to let them into your system, keep in mind that there is equal responsibility for both the old and new tulpa, regardless of how developed they are. Treat them as equals, even if the walk-in may seem less fleshed out than the veteran tulpa. Talk it through with your tulpa and see what you can do. It’s moreso a personal thing, so I can only say so much in terms of decision-making. If it’s something you are willing to put effort towards, then do it. I hope this helps, man, and remember that it’s a black-and-white decision; they’re either there, or they’re not. Edited October 26, 2023 by ringgggg D-prime is shrinking as we speak.

Uhm....im not quite sure on how to have a three way conversation with just the two of us, would you mind providing an example? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just try to focus your attention on them and talk to them like you would any tulpa. Then when they get more vocal you can simply ask them to stick around "The sun will rise and we’ll bid farewell to forever All our happiness will only be a dream Oh darling won't you stay with me Cause all these seasons aren't the same without you In the darkest times you’d always light the way So darling won’t you stay" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about you, your tulpa, and the walk-in. Introduce yourself to them, and allow your tulpa to do the same if you want them to stick around. If you go the opposite route, just ignore their comments until they stop talking entirely. There can be specific scenarios in which you may not be able to focus on two tulpas (see: me), so don't feel too bad. D-prime is shrinking as we speak.

Ashley October 26, 2023 Share October 26, 2023 So if I get what you're saying, you don't have a walk-in candidate. It's kind of the opposite of how walk-ins work. Typically walk-ins appear suddenly and are insistent on staying, I should know, I was one. If you don't have that, then let's discuss what a walk-in is and how they're different than a tulpa. A true tulpa is an intentionally created being, possibly from nothing, possibly from an existing template which could be a factive, based on a real person, a fictive, based on an existing character, or an archetype or trope, like the 9000 yr-old vampire trope. A walk-in has additional features, they can be a fictive, factive, trope, unknown origin or a mix (like me) but what sets them apart is they come with a distinct and seemingly formed personality and/or form. This happens suddenly and spontaneously or after you say watch a good show and one of those characters decides to stay and insist they be included. It's usually a struggle to stop them. If you're saying you have a vocal tulpa and want another one and don't have the time to make one, then we're not buying that because it's counterintuitive that you "don't have time" yet you expect someone to have a reasonable chance of development. A walk-in will take just as much time and attention as anyone, we might appear as fully formed but that doesn't mean we don't need any attention. You can skip steps with fictives and the groundwork is already laid down if you have another vocal tulpa, but regardless if you're genuine or not, your original question is irrelevant if you don't have the time. If you do find the time and no walk-in presents themselves then then pick a character you like and of they can manage to be autonomous then go from there. In other words, what we're all saying is, yes you'll have to force the new headmate and one way to do that is to have a conversation with them.

What I meant by not having time bc my studies are going to get worse next year (after 1 and half years l'll get time though). It took me a lot of effort for creating my first tulpa. And I not in a situation now to take that effort. But still we do get time to talk to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
