WILFRED IS A DAMN TULPA!

 

it's black and white, plain as day Ryan just projected him onto his neighbors dog but he is a tulpa! They even revealed that the basement didn't exist in the real world it was basically his wonderland and Wilfred tells Ryan in the last episode that when they're not hanging out he just hangs out in his brain. He even pulled up a repressed memory.

 

I don't know how to feel about this but Toby is excited. He was bouncing up and down on the couch screaming "HES LIKE ME!!!!" Through the entire last episode.

 

What do you think about this?

Never heard of this, may I ask what this is? It seems like it's some kind of Tv show.

[arcanemagic]

Yeah it's a show about... wilfred. I'm not quite sure how I'd describe it, but it's pretty good :p

[Quetzal the furdragon]

Dude...what's the title of the show, is what he's asking. What's the title?

[sushi]

The title is Wilfred.

I've seen some episodes of this a long time ago, can't remember when but I defiantly remember that dog person wilfred, it's kinda funny sometimes but mostly just weird. :P

Now that I finished binge watching all 4 seasons, I figured I give a more detail opinion about the whole experience:

 

- It makes it seem as if one can only experience things like talking to Wilfred based on some kind of trauma in the past, or something like that.

 

- The actual usage of substances makes it seem that Ryan was really crazy compared to the holier-than-thou disposition he had vs. Wilfred’s actual demeanor. And that episode called “Perspective,” was quite interesting, but it makes me wonder if Ryan ever had sex with a prostitute nicknamed Bear; especially with that cash Wilfred said she was heavily endowed with?

 

- His mother looks dramatically different and older, and less cheerful after the presumed “improvements” she went through. The origins with his childhood, and such are kind of filled with grandiose consternation that it would make sense to repress all of that. The episode with the dream where he meets some Native American that was really just part of the cult, IIRC, along with the kissing between his sister and Jenna seemed peculiar. I thought there was some kind of Freudian implication there.

 

- I just honestly couldn’t stand Wilfred’s disposition, and being mind-fucked into thinking Ryan was just this regular guy with your usual run-of-the-mill personality. I couldn’t even stand how they completely ignored him coming to terms with his mother on how she was just like him before Mittens passed away. Then the theorization with there being more than one Wilfred, or even the mother, and Amanda (IIRC) being able to talk to Wilfred that implied some kind of poltergeist stuff made things even more complicated.

 

- That whole series of wondering if he’s going to get Jenna, then feeling as if he’s going to get her only for him to finally realize he’s been reveling in some crazy fantasy with some chick that wears a persona to prevent herself from revealing who she is. Then that repeat of the suicide attempt once more, which only raises questions, especially those on Reddit long before, of this guy being in some kind of coma where he’s perpetually having virtual experiential realities of different ways he could’ve assessed his life.

 

- The last episode Happiness did not really resonate to me as “Happiness,” because I just can’t fathom having someone like Wilfred, who was really just Ryan masking away how devious he can be when on some shit. It’s like you can’t even hang around with an imaginary friend without being mind fucked that you repressed your own ability to experience things that you don’t bother to realize you did these things yourself (e.g. shock collar, putting face in the toilet, shitting in someone’s boots).

 

- The mother seemed to have had more fun and freedom compared to Ryan despite being in the institution. The father that

wasn’t really his father

had this holier-than-thou disposition really pissed me off, and the whole justification on how Ryan was adopted and all that shit was just the typical “let’s finish the season for the sake of fan service and a sense of closure.” The same freaking feeling I had with watching Prison Break, and Nikita; the latter was just more predictable, yet so unsatisfactory.

 

- Spouting about existential shit seemed so rudimentary; there was barely anything deep about it even after considering analyzing some of those episodes again without the comical lenses. Just your basic “Who are you?” “What are you?” It’s like asking who you are when you’re experiencing everything that it is you’re questioning; like begging the question over and over and over again, and feeling that if you created some dichotomy from who you are from your quotidian lifestyle, that you would somehow imagine yourself as someone different.

 

- If they didn’t make the Amanda chick do the offshore account, I’m pretty sure that would’ve been his wife. The lady from Venice, well, that’s understandable since most of that crap was him eventually escaping those series of dreams, but I can’t even fathom if this is an understatement.

 

- Happiness my bloody ass; I felt if he always had the upper hand with Bruce, he would find true happiness instead, and just get shit done and over with. But no, he’s too scared to come to terms with himself. God of Happiness and Trickster God? Please….must’ve been the other way around.

 

- I felt that if I just watched the last three episodes, I would’ve saved a load of time. I understand he can spend the rest of his life with Wilfred now that he knows who he really is after escaping the remnants of those implications of poltergeist and what have you, but come on; with the shit Wilfred put him through along with the totality of his experiential learning with the cult and all that making him feel he’s the prophet and all, I just hope that Wilfred’s disposition makes a complete metamorphosis.

 

- I could’ve utilized all of that binge watching into forcing, man, FORCING. WHAT THE HELL

 

- This post has no relation with tulpas at all, and makes me grateful that crap didn’t turn out like that, man. I’m sorry, but those writers, completely mindfucked me all the way to a nadir. But damn, I really want to know how the Giraffe looked like in that Perspective episode.

 

- And that quote with the whole existence of Wilfred being wishful anthropomorphization in episode, Forward, made it obvious with how one is partaking with the whole thing with tulpas; but it’s not the type of thing that initiated apprehensiveness with the whole existential thing, but that’s just me.

 

- Just once, just once; can I find any show that has implications of thought-forms in general that doesn’t do a nostalgia trip of previous episodes that makes the person look as if they had grandiose delusions, and were extreme nut cases? But querying something like that is just a sardonic quip at best here.

 

Pardon me, I’m off to play the grand piano; the FABRICATED ONE.

Well, Akibaranger does that in the first episode. Does that count?

[Linkzelda]

I'll give that a try someday, thanks.

I've been trying to see my Tulpa wife (who is a pillow) as a beautiful young woman the same way Ryan sees Wilfred as a man as a dog suit. Does anyone know how I can do that?
