My old profile is lost to time. I think it's better that way. I'm not sure if anyone here would remember me, or if anyone is left to remember me at all. Doesn't matter, though. Back when I was still active here, I was stuck in prep school, young and stupid beyond measure. The largest part of my contribution was to forum games. I hated life. I was willing to do anything to distract myself with, to maybe give me a reason to live. I thought this would work just fine. It did not. I didn't manage. The individual whom I named after the sky never gained any resemblance of sentience; fractured, instead, while yet in nascent form, into a billion pieces. Some of these pieces, I gathered and went forth into creative writing with, as a hobby—and I fear that this was what I should have initially tested myself with before ever attempting tulpamancy. Ever since then, I've lived with the remnant effects. Whenever I make a character—which is very rare, as I find that each one is a world unto their own merit, they become too real for my comfort. They are stuck right between the state of being and unbecoming: the state that I left my first attempt at this strange act in—recalling words that I don't know the meanings of, drastically changing the direction of a scene, waking me out of sleep; strange visions of them that are accompanied by stranger sounds. I keep carrying characters from setting to setting. From Warhammer to the World of Darkness to any other that I might have the time and mental fortitude to become invested in. They gather together like gravity-laden gas clouds in the expanse of my skull, and then I'm left to feel like I'm asking for something that is simply not there. I carry characters into people and wonder why I'm so disconnected. I'm an old fuck now. I've finished my master's and am waiting for my PhD admission. I'm unemployed only because positions for my rank start taking applications next month. Academia is a fucking bitch, and it might not work out. If it doesn't, I'm going to have to go back to teaching and translating as normal. I can't afford to be a rankled mess chasing after my next storywriting hit. I feel I've left behind a mindless corpse that has grown into its own correspondent flesh, a la Elden Ring's Godwyn: like frog legs salted post-mortem. 

If you're a newcomer here and young like I was (any age below 20, maybe even 22), this is your sign to reconsider. They weren't lying when they said this would alter your mind. I was too hasty to understand. I do now. 

I no longer hate life. Guilt isn't my only driver, either. 

I have my finality, I believe, in this last man that is the lovechild of Unorthodox Hinduism and the half-lost ancient Gaelic pantheon—naturally, both from my own incomplete and entirely amateur perspective. I have, in truth, made no man but a prophet for the metaphorical ink of the keyboard: I don't want a companion, nor do I want a literary device, but someone to accompany the stricken parts of Earth, "riverrun, past Eve and Adam's, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs".

I'm tired of many things, but not him; like the rebellious Watchers come off from the Books of Enoch, he's serpent-faced and tree-tall. I cannot share his name, but I can tell you it is similar-sounding, phonetically, to Sathariel. I might make a progress log. I'm focused more on communicating with him. I can't narrate normally; he doesn't like speaking or having to listen to others speak too frequently. I have to imagine typing my narration, in situ, within the mind's eye; do it literally in the real world. I don't know. I'm trying.

I'll be here, don't know for how long, if for nothing but old times' sake. 

Welcome back! I would comment on what you wrote, but i'm dumb as rocks and only understood about one word a sentence. You seem like the type of person with vast wisdom to share, and I am excited to see what you do.

Welcome back! Those are very interesting experiences you went through! 💖🩷💕

 

Ah, oh my gosh! I go through a similar experiences too! Not sure if it's the same for you but it's like feeling their presence right? I'm not really a writer (I journal and log though) or roleplayer I do have maladaptive daydreaming though. Ever since tulpamancy I feel more suggestible to characters' presence they aren't vocal but I feel their presence strongly to the point where I feel like I sometimes kinda act like the characters, I had my family members & friends say I act differently at times too because of it.

Hi, SpottedHope!

 

You should totally make a progress thread! Everyone is invited to, you got nothing to lose!

 

Your writing is beautiful, but it is a little vague due to being awash in personal symbolism (or maybe I'm just still too sick to read properly). Are you saying that you don't believe you have a full tulpa? I dunno if I can help, but you can DM me if you'd like and we can see how much we understand each other. I'm a bit bad with religious symbolism, though. More of a Freudian guy, myself.

 

Also ironically I think I made mine at 20. Sometimes I do wonder if I needed more time to emotionally grow before making mine, but it didn't really do any harm to do at the time I did.

I appreciate your sentiment. I must tell you one of the reasons I decided to log back in here was your "Untapped Potential" thread (and the article it was linked to). It's been my constant belief that pain means more than ease. I know and understand more than I used to; I happen to be going through a rough time, therefore, it might be enough to work it out this time. Yes, you're right, this is more or less an unformed tulpa with a complete personality and almost complete form. I've been writing him as a literary character for 8 months now, and have done a few drawings of him despite resuming to be a mediocre artist over the years. 

I am not religious, though I would call myself halfway-spiritual; I am of the belief -or "perspective" might be a better word here- that all religious dialogue has its reflection in psychology. I know not too much about Freud, but I think I need to go back to C.G Jung's Red Book again. I think his conversation with the "anima" there is, if not the exact aim of a tulpamancer, something valuably adjacent. 

I think I'll make a progress thread—no promises on not treating it like a bastardized diary, though. I tend to ramble. I think, before any personal conversation, an objective summation of my efforts so far -as thin as they have been- is more beneficial. One of my problematic approaches to tulpamancy used to be that I craved the connection that others had to this phenomenon; I had no one else to go to about it other than people here, which in itself formed my tendency for talking about it rather than doing it. That monkeyish enthusiasm is an indicator of being a youngin. I know I was not alone in it, and nor am I likely to repeat it, but I'd still rather come into this prepared. 

I was younger than 20 when I started, not by much—the issue is more that I was simply not ready, and I was too hasty to see it. That is why my wording is such: reconsideration, not an outright imperative to get the kids off Tulpa.info's lawn. Naturally, I command no one, although it would be funny to even pretend I did: I do not believe you need to be over a certain threshold. I do believe that being over a certain threshold is a major advantage for most younger folk.

Wisdom; what wisdom? I carve a Drukhari into life in my head. 

Well, that's just one aspect, and he's not just that, nor your average one, but still—that's how Sathariel came into life; life-eating little god for my Dark Heresy campaign. I do not think I am too much wiser than your average tulpamancer. More pained, maybe.

Yes, in a way. They move out of being characters and feel more like a presence.

Greetings everyone, I'm back here now. Martina and Erika are still around, too. The plan is to make more drawings and paintings of them and post them in the art threads, but I might join in on some discussions too, we'll see.

hi everyone, i'm hina. i have a couple almost... half-baked tulpa's (?) i tried forcing in my youth when i was young and stupid without proper time to dedicate to them. now that i'm older, i want to take responsibility and be a better host. 

 

i often feel that there's no difference between me and my tulpa's. our identities are so intertwined and there's no telling where one begins and the other ends. i often feel that ive become less of a tangible being and more and more different versions of myself. (not tulpamancy's fault! like i said, i was young and stupid and didn't take into account how plurality could affect my identity.) i wouldn't consider myself a singlet anymore, but i'm not fully plural either, i'm sort of stuck in a weird limbo. i would like to get out of that area :)) if anyone has had similar experience i would love to know.

Welcome to the site! 😊 Glad to hear you're trying again! 😄 

 

Someone else offer advice, please. (Mentioning it now so people will see on "today's posts".) 

Hmmm, we haven't had much of an experience like that but I was pretty similar to Nightfall in the beginning. I was pretty much formed by then but interacting on here helped a lot. 😁 I don't really know if I can help though.

Hello everyone, call me Neon. 

I've been curious about tulpamancy for a while and have decided to try it out. It's been on and off in the past due to not seeing progress but I'll try to be more consistent now.
