What if you decide to ignore your own thoughts on how you want them to turn out,
I think this part could do better. Most people who don't want Monika or Sans Undertale already have decided they are going to let their tulpa choose. It's not an experiment to them, it's more a consequence of their preferenceit’s very fulfilling to see them grow naturally into their own person
it can be exciting and satisfactory to see them grow into their own person,
redundancy. Remove one. (edited)While of course tulpas with planned personalities will still be able to grow into their own independent identity, not planning one out means that there is less of an obstacle to get through: there is more of an opportunity for them to comfortably find themselves without having to break past what’s already been given to them.
This is all one sentence and the later half of it is especially difficult to read. Try simplifying it a bitas they won’t have to break past what’s already been established for them. Additionally, not planning out a personality means there is less of a chance of a tulpa going through an identity crisis, or other similar issues, since their identity was entirely their own already.
This doesn't quite sit right with me. It subtly suggests that personality forcing is not only worthless, but potentially actively detrimental. I kinda agree that personality forcing is often misunderstood as a process but I think wholly dismissing it is somewhat uncalled for. This especially coming from a tulpa who only changed in terms of sexuality over timeIf you’ve decided to allow a tulpa to grow entirely from scratch into their own person, the question is what you should do to get started. How do you create a tulpa without planning out their personality and form, and is it even possible? The answer is that of course it is!
Instead something like "Some might wonder how a tulpa can created without whatever." Then immediately going into how none of those things aren't really necessary right off the bat and then say "plenty of people don't start with a fomr or single personality trait" after thatThere are many people who create tulpas without so much as a single personality trait planned, and those tulpas turn out just as well-developed as any other
perhaps just "and they turn out fine." Implies just as much information a bit snappier
There are many people who create tulpas without so much as a single personality trait planned, and those tulpas turn out just as well-developed as any other. There is a bit of a misconception around the community that not planning out a tulpa’s identity makes it harder to create one. However, there isn’t really much reason to believe this: there are countless factors that go into how quickly or how slowly a tulpa develops, and there’s not much reason to believe that personality forcing affects the speed or difficulty.
This can still be trimmed down. Perhaps even as much as "There are many people who create tulpas without so much as a single personality trait planned, and those tulpas turn out just as well-developed as any other with no detriment to their speed or difficulty of make"
since it is not entirely required you give them some form of placeholder.
this is sorta already implied with what's said just beforeEncourage them to take their time deciding on which gender/name they want to have, so that they make the right choice for themselves.
Let's not kid ourselves, the gender is always going to be the sexually attractive one, this is not to imply that that isn’t the case.
this is redundant
Instead of giving them the form of a certain person, character, etc., you can simply give them
"Instead, you can give them..."It is entirely possible to force a tulpa without giving them a form.
this sentence isn't necessary. You tell them the bare minimum requirements the next sentenceyou don’t need a pre-planned personality
which doesn’t require a pre-planned personality whatsoever
RedundancyTheir connections in your brain won’t be prevented from building up just because you haven’t given them a list of traits to follow
I loledInstead, you can give them the form of an orb of light, a blob, a non-specific human or animal, an egg, or just generally something simple that doesn’t have much meaning to you, and use that as a focus aid while forcing. This better?“If I don’t plan out a personality, how will they get one?”
d-do people ask this? I really hope not o.o
, of course
no
Most tulpas deviate from their pre-planned personalities anyway, because the experiences they go through cause them to develop into their own person. It’s entirely possible they might end up totally different from how they were planned, so skipping the personality planning is just cutting out the middle-man, so to speak.
I think this section can be trimmed. Some ideas are repeated twice with difference words like Hebrew poetryThe brain isn’t going to do something like that, and there’s not much reason to believe that it will. It isn’t a conscious entity, it’s an organ that collects/processes data and handles physical processes. As mentioned, experiences will influence your tulpa’s personality as time goes on. The “brain” has nothing to do with this beyond the storing and retrieving of information. Of course, the information already existing in your brain can influence them, but that’s not the same as the brain stepping in and making a personality. There’s not much reason to expect that to happen.
It doesn't matter what the brain actually does. Thinking of concepts as "the brain doing something" is how people simplify very abstract and advanced concepts that they often understand innately. What this section is talking about is how "the brain" won't give the tulpa a personality - but it appears that the foundation of a new tulpas personality is how the host entity thinks the tulpa will respond to things and process information. In a sense, you're refuting something that is correct, if simplified through means that are not anatomically and biologically accurate
I need to put a pause on this
