I No Longer Walk Alone.

You've got some possession down if you're able to type what they're saying I think. Are they possessing your fingers as you type?

Nope, no possession at all. What we do is proxying, where I simply write down whatever it is he is saying.

Possession gives me the heebejeebes. I won do it. Nice PR btw I like it

I thought that at first too, which is why we're taking it slowly. In the end, though, my curiosity got the best of me and the prospect of writing with one hand and drawing something completely different with the other had me way too excited.

 

Oh, and glad you like the PR.

Apologies for the lack in updates, we haven't had much going on and I'm just trying to get back in to the swing of tulpamancy after getting admittedly lazy for a good while of time, mostly throughout the summer.

 

First off, Wyvern's gone. I don't believe that it's the same as what happens to some tulpas, where they leave for a bit and then come back, usually more developed. The three of us believe that his departure is permanent. He came in to our life suddenly and strangely, and left the same way. He wasn't created by me, not consciously, at least. I don't believe he ever really intended to stay. I'm not sure why he came or left, but perhaps he's just in the further reaches of our Wonderland living as he desires. I'm not sure.

 

Now it's just Shira, Braxton, and myself. Which is fine, they're more than enough company. I've been spending a lot of time lately reflecting on our progress and it has begun to astound me how far we've come. From Shira taking the form of a Gryphon, to a fennec fox, to a bear, and now to her current form. From Braxton taking the form of a caiman, to a praying mantis, and now to an arctic fox. Shira starting from scratch with no voice, no personality, no appearance, and no life to her sassy, loving, passionate self. And Braxton being created with a voice, appearance, and personality and making use of them straight away, becoming sentient before my eyes. We've come a long way, it's been a great ten months, and I haven't looked back yet.

 

Shira's and Braxton's personalities are becoming far more distinct and drawn out. It's becoming easier to think about how they might react to things and I feel as if I'm really getting to know them as people rather than as my creations. They're developing in to mature, rational beings right before my (mind's) eyes, and it's incredible.

 

Shira's taken up a liking for mathematics, she really wants to improve at them and learn them, despite not being super skilled at calculations at the moment. I admire her determination and am excited to work with her so that she can improve. It seems Braxton is still searching for a passion, even investigating religion for a while before deciding that it just wasn't for him. He sits as agnostic for the moment, whereas Shira and I are atheists. He seems to have taken up an interest in the flute, though, so perhaps that will be a gift idea for when he turns three months old on Sunday.

 

No possession progress yet, we've decided to research it heavily and get communication between us as strong as can be before working on it. I want to be prepared, because it is a big step for us.

 

More to come, things are looking good for us.

Not much longer until Halloween, and Shira and Braxton are super excited about it. We've all decided to dress up as Game Of Thrones characters (dorky, I know). I'll be Daenerys Targaryen, Shira will be Cersei Lannister, and Braxton will be Jon Snow. We also plan to decorate the Wonderland and make our house in to a haunted house, and will be going all out on decorations. It's their first Halloween after all, so I want to make it extra great for them.

 

We had our first active forcing session in months, and it was great to force like that again. We didn't do much, and it was only 45 minutes long, but I got in some great visualization practice that was much needed. I touched up the details of Shira's and Braxton's forms and really worked out exactly how our wonderland looks, with the help of the Tups, of course.

 

Communication is showing significant improvement now that we're back on a regular passive forcing schedule, and hopefully getting back in to active forcing will help us move even further.

We finally did it. After nearly 11 months of development and progress, Shira finally managed a little bit of possession. It was really exciting and unexpected, a completely alien feeling. We were just messing around and conversing while I was lying around lazily when we decided to try possession for the first time in a while to see what would happen, and after about ten minutes, my index finger jerked upwards, followed by an excited noise from Shira, and withing the next five or so minutes, she managed to slowly but surely jerk it up to two inches off of the desk that my hand was resting on before she deemed herself tired and let the finger drop. I'm so proud of her accomplishment, we haven't been this excited or motivated in a long time.

 

In other news, Braxton turned three months old today! It's been lovely for Shira and I to watch him grow over the past three months, but yet, it feels like he's been with us from the start. He's been chatting about turning three months old today all week, so I think we might make a cake or something in the wonderland, just for him. Shira could probably bake it, she's been telling me how much fun baking is lately, which is great in the mornings since she makes me the occasional breakfast.

 

We're having a pretty good day, but that possession gave me a bit of a headache. Anyone else get that when they first started possession? Anyways, hopefully we continue making progress from here, and when Shira's less tired, we'll be sure to try possession again.

Woo, more possession progress! In math class Yesterday, Shira was able to slowly, one by one, lift each of my fingers off of the desk that my hand was resting on, and then with a quick jerk of my wrist, she had my hand held a few inches above the desk. It's great how quickly she's progressing now. Soon enough, once she's able to move my hands a bit more fluidly, I'll have her type out some of the progress report from her perspective.

 

Shira's still hellbent on becoming a mathematics genius, and we're working on it. I hope to see both her and Braxton excel in different things to experiment with how intelligent we can end up in a few years from now. If we can get to the point where Shira's a human calculator and Braxton able to do whatever passion he chooses, we could truly see how significant tulpamancy can be to a host. Shira managed to answer a 3 digit division question in my math class, much to my surprise as I'd never have been able to do it myself. She's proud of it, and who knows, maybe even she can become great if she's determined enough. Braxton showed immediate talent in mathematics, specifically numerical values, but has made it clear that he doesn't care much for numbers and would rather help Shira improve at it than excel with it himself. He hasn't found anything he truly loves yet, but no rush, he's only three months old so he's still a very young tulpa.

 

Shira claims to be getting much better at parallel processing, which is good, though I'll probably prepare some games so that she can prove it and improve further. Braxton's been much more talkative lately, running on various sentences rather that his usual one liners, and he's being very compassionate lately, it's lovely to see that he, a tulpa with no personality forcing whatsoever, is still able to show the amounts of compassion and empathy that Shira, a tulpa with several hours of personality forcing, tends to show. I see a lot of arguments on whether or not personality forcing matters, but after this, I don't think it does aside from the narration it provides.

 

Lastly, Braxton has changed forms. He didn't feel as if his current form as an arctic fox was to his liking, nor reflective of him as a person. Thus, we did a little form shopping on google, and cam to something he found quite fitting. Currently, he's a Alaskan Malamute-Husky-Wolf hybrid. Black fur on his back, and white fur on his underside. He retained his light blue eyes from his previous form, but otherwise he's completely different. Also, at this point, he's significantly larger than Shira. That was quite a change for both of them as we're used to him being small enough to ride on her back if she'd let him.

 

Lots and lots of progress, oh how I missed tulpamancy.

I cannot, for the life of me, seem to stay active on here for more than a few weeks at a time. The threads get so repetitive and I get bored so fast, eventually I stop visiting. Oh well, I still like to check in occasionally.

 

Progress, yes. Shira managed to possess my fingers enough to type extremely slowly with multiple errors, but typing nonetheless. I've been struggling with anxiety and depression lately more than ever so I've (sadly) put possession on hold for a while. I still narrate, but I haven't visited the WL in ages and haven't actively forced for just as long, so no real progress to note.

 

Shira's gotten bored of maths, finding she wasn't very good at it, so Braxton has taken over the love of mathematics and is actually quite good at it. Shira seems to care for the arts and would like to try drawing upon mastering possession. Aside from that, there isn't much to note.

 

Oh, lastly, it's almost Shira's first birthday. She's currently 11 months and on the first of January, New Years Day, she turns one year old. We're all very excited! Braxton will be turning 5 months old on the 26th, the day after Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, it'll be awesome to spend our first Christmas together and we do plan to dress up the WL and get each other some gifts. Who knows, maybe Wyvern will even drop in. It would be lovely to see him again.
