Tulpa: Adryan Form: Anthro wolf-ish Stage: *sighs loudly*

Age: Looks 17, is actually 1 1/2

I believe it's "tulpas" as a plural thing, but some anti-tulpa blogs on Tumblr got really fucking mad at "tulpae" because tulpa isn't a Latin word and you're appropriating the use of the word tulpa if you make the plural "tulpae"

It was stupid

Ravi: "Oh gosh, people on tumblr are so ratchet." *flips weave*

 

(Ne doesn't really have a weave. Ne just likes the word.)

 

But it figures tumblr people would get pissy about that kind of thing. What DON'T they get pissed about?

 

Ravi: "Yeah. They get worked up about stuff they don't understand, STUFF THAT DOESN'T EVEN CONCERN THEM, dippling and dappling in the kool aid when they don't even know the flavor. They think they're so important when they're just ignant people sitting at computers looking for a cheap laugh."

~~Guide to Ravi's pronouns~~

 

Ne- used like He

Nem- used like Him/Her

Nir- used like His/Her (as in "His friend is fun")

Nirs- used like His/Hers (as in "It is hers")

Nemself- used like Himself/Herself

When did this become a hate on tumble thread ._.

...unless that's what we changed "tulpa" to...

"Hey, check out my Tumblr!...No, it's in my head."

Too "can't be assed" to check to see if anyone has said this, but i like to refer to tulpas as tulips and tulpa forcing as "Tending to the tulips"

Now with 20% more mudkips!

Everytime I see the word 'tulpae' it always sounds out in my head as 'tulpAY'. I don't know if that's how it's supposed to be said but come on... TULPAY? Really?

 

So it's 'tulpas' for me everytime.

Tuppers and tupperware are cool too though.

Tulpamancer since May 2013. Lurks a lot... :cool:

No. It's much better than you imagine: "tul-pee".

Actually I have a good idea for this: How about SAIF (Sentient Autonomous Imaginary Friend)? Pronounced "sah-eef".
