Why is it bad to make a tulpa based on a fictional character?


Recommended Posts

It's not bad to make a character's form based off of another character. It's bad to make them think that they are that character. They'll spiral into a crisis of badness and sadness either in depression that they aren't that character, that they'll never live up to that character, or possibly both.

 

For example, I originally started with a Pinkie tulpa. I said to her over and over and over again that she wasn't the real Pinkie and she had the freedom to be whoever and for that matter whatever she wanted to be. Despite having a Pinkie tulpa, she was eventually no longer associated witht the mare. She wasn't Pinkie, she was and still is, Snow K. Knight.

 

Something tells me that the OP doesn't need help anymore.

"If this can be avoided, it should. If it can't, then it would be better if it could be. If it happened and you're thinking back to it, try and think back further. Try not to avoid it with your mind. If any of this is possible, it may be helpful. If not, it won't be."

What you're doing is called necroposting ;)

 

"The act of posting in a forum thread that is too old to matter any more, or has served it's purpose. "

I think that is a good way to some up this thing. Kanaya is very much like her base in terms of personality, but on the topic of it, she says "I am not the webcomic Kanaya, I am my own sentient being that is not limited by words written on a page. I like my character base, but I know that I am not her, and so does Jimmy."

At least he didn't make a topic about it and tried to differentiate it from a thread on that topic already.

Why would he make a topic of answering a question?

He didn't need an answer, he was trying to give one.

I think he was talking about my "Have you told your parents" thread. (or maybe I just misunderstood)
