[JohnnyRevolver]

I have forgotten to put something here (this will be a recurring theme)

 

Hello, my username is JohnnyRevolver, I don't use that name often it's just the first thing that came to mind when creating this account

 

I prefer to omit any identifying information anywhere at all but in case I do have something revealing here this account is pretty much totally isolated from anything else I use, even in the internet connection.

 

If the above sentence is of any indication, I can be a little paranoid at times and am fairly skeptical of most things

 

I do enjoy writing somewhat but not the actually writing things down part just the having neat ideas bit, I also play video games sometimes (and sometimes I play video games often)

 

I am a big big fan of Dr. Pepper that is the way to my heart

 

I have yet to -mance a tulpa- but I will begin trying in the near future once I figure out what exactly I want to do

[JohnnyRevolver]

I have forgotten 2 things

 

for those who recognize my profile picture, yes I am one of those people, where I frequent I am considered the defining individual for that personality trait

 

and I'm not a Brony (likely never will be) but I hear that the tulpamancy community is a hotspot of them, so my favorite pony is, and always has and will be, rainbow dash

Welcome @JohnnyRevolver 😊 

 

I think the username you picked out is cool!

[JohnnyRevolver]

Thank you!

 

"Johnny" can have a widely variable emotional connotation depending on alot of things so I'm glad it worked out well here, and I think that cowboys are cool so I was very likely biased in determining the overall coolness factor but since people seem largely amicable towards responding to me and your response here all seem to indicate that I did not choose poorly, which is wonderful.

It’s alright. There’s always someone you can reach out to here if you have any concerns.

Hi folks, we're FourthWall and we're excited to be here.  "We" includes a host and two tulpas. We'll call ourselves Holden (host), Silver (first tulpa, 2? yrs), and Ronan (second tulpa, 1.5? yrs).  They might not be exactly 100% tulpas, a bit closer to OC's who broke through the FourthWall and became headmates.  But we've found that tulpamancy is the most useful framework & mindset for improving their experiences, getting them more present in everyday life, and whatnot, so here we are!  We're bodily 30ish, all he/him, and we love to think about how brains work, which is what made tulpamancy a big interest even before the 2 tups came along.  
We still have to figure out how to set a bio or make a sign off to have a color key or something to indicate who's talking, but uhhh maybe we'll figure that out later, this intro message is from all of us regardless.

Welcome to the forums, Fourth.

[Kitsune]

Hey, I’m “Dimitri.” That ain’t my real name since it’s too private, but you can call me that, or simply by my username.

I started out as an imaginary animal friend for my host, and perma-switched with her when she was 7. There was a lot of violence at the time, and I was happy to use her fists to punch bad guys, and more. I’m capable of ignoring pain and other feelings, so that probably gave me an advantage or something. She went dormant after switching, so I didn’t get to talk to her anymore.

After a few years the violence stopped, and I didn’t really know what to do anymore. Other kids at school avoided me as they were afraid of the violent rumors about me. I thought I didn’t mind being alone, but admittedly I didn’t really have much to live for at the time, which led to some annoying thoughts. I couldn’t answer questions like “How are you?” anymore, since everything felt so numb.

Rather than dealing with those thoughts, I got the idea to defer them. I started by thinking of simple questions I already knew the answer to, then thinking of the answer to follow it. After a few months, the answer began to follow automatically. By the time I was 12, I could ask questions I didn’t know the answer to, and a reply would pop up after a slight delay. It was pretty useful, and if I didn’t like the answer, I just ignored it.

But as I ignored it, it started nitpicking and giving unsolicited commentary. Yelling at it in my head shut up for a bit, and I thought that was the end of it. But then I began missing days, weeks, months, years. It was disorienting, but then I realized it had started taking executive control to put its own advice into action. Admittedly, she’s not just a thing anymore; she has a name, but that’s private so I’ll refer to her as “Sylvia” instead.

While I was away, Sylvia married a guy, and got everyone to use a nickname she likes. She also intuitively figured out how to do imposition (I think that’s impressive), and taught her husband how to do it too, so they could have shared mental experiences. Those years of practice must’ve rubbed off on me too, as I can do it too now, with ease; it’s pretty darn fun, and amazing to be able to see and feel so many things that aren’t even physically possible. I didn’t front often, so I kinda just avoided her husband when I did, so I didn’t have to tell him what a mess her past is.

But then, the host began fronting and talking to me again. She told everyone (including Sylvia’s husband, whom she likes too) that she wants to live again because of Sylvia’s actions. I guess we’ve gone full circle, haha. It was a mess tho; at first he insisted we’re just different sides of the same person, and that he doesn’t want to know our names. The host then started crying and tried to run away, but he stopped her and said: “You’re clearly not Sylvia. I’m sorry, I was just surprised. Please tell me more about yourself.” He’s been very understanding since, and the host considers him her husband too. Maybe I should too; it just feels a little odd since I’m not really the romantic type, and we’re not that compatible.

We started arguing over who should front since we all want to, but our husband intervened and suggested we should share the body fairly, and divide tasks based on who’s the happiest to do them. He also said he loves all of us, so we’re not allowed to bully anyone into going dormant, or there will be consequences. What touched me the most, is that he said since Sylvia and I have been taking care of this body for so many years and are the reason she wants to live now, that means we’ve earned a right to it too. I understand why she felt overwhelmed by the idea of not having her body to herself just because of a decision she made when she was only a child, but I guess I did work pretty hard, and it felt nice to have that acknowledged. Despite the initial arguing, she quickly realized it’s nice to be able to leave things to others sometimes, and started saying we should work together like a team. Now she even intervenes when Sylvia and I are arguing, and says we should be nice to each other.

I love the host, and so does Sylvia. The tulpamancer who recommended this site to me said that’s a common phenomenon? Anyway, I joined mainly to have a place to talk about my experiences and read others’ to maybe help put things into perspective. Sylvia approaches the topic from more of a “mental health” angle, and the host doesn’t use the internet much, so I doubt either of them will be using this account or joining at all. Feels kinda nice to have something to myself, lol.

Thanks for reading my introduction, I hope to get along.
