Tulpa.info - tulpa-discussion

but y'know, you can't be like ALSO TULPA TAKES OVER HOST BODY the second someone learns about tulpas for the first time!

3:31 PM

and switching on camera was the nail in the coffin for anyone not convinced to think we were weirdos yet

I'm trans, autistic, and willing to switch on camera

4:03 PM

But I don't see the point in switching on camera, it's hardly noticeable, other than maybe a change in voice

4:03 PM

Oh and the fact that we lean our head back while doing it

4:04 PM

It's not like anything from Split

A change in voice, cadence, stance, etc. It isn't a particularly large change, certainly.

I can't wait to switch irl with people again.

well from the viewer's perspective it's *closes eyes* *opens eyes* hi I am a humanoid wolf in control of my host's body now

Hmm

not the best thing to convince newcomers we aren't insane

You'd want to lie to the newcomers?

...what?

most of newcomers won't probably even switch anyway

Have you guys tried switching or posessing?

It's the cringey much doc.

I am switching when I'm talking to you

shudder

yeah whoever you see on our acc here is switched and fronting for a while

We possess all the time

It was a joke, Wint

Oh.

What we’re doing currently is letting the media control how tulpamancers are seen. Obviously, this needs to change tbh. One or two camera-friendly folks to draw upon as our representatives until we get enough work done behind the scenes on a self-help book or something

5:03 PM

And then WIRLD DOMINATION THROUGH A DYNASTY OF TULPAE

gotta decide on a plural for tulpa first

5:03 PM

and it won't be tulpae

5:03 PM

5:04 PM

there's existing not-bad Tulpa interview type stuff out there

5:04 PM

just nothing much picked up by anything as big as MTV

5:04 PM

the big things that did come out somehow didn't even attract much attention tbh

5:05 PM

not like we need to tell everyone to make tulpas though

5:05 PM

I just want the phenomenon to be popular enough that people find it when they look for something like it

I've always thought that the plural for tulpa is just tulpa. Like deer or elk. Whether you are talking about one or many it stays the same.

I thought it was just tulpas

There really isn't much of a standard with a lot of these terms

6:02 PM

The only one I really have a problem with is tupper or any variant thereof

6:04 PM

I would also vote that the "mancer" be stricken from the record but that's just down to image and first impressions

ye, who the hell invented the term "tulpamancer"?

No idea but I sincerely wish that they would not have done so

The problem is the term "tulpa" has very questionable history

My tupper is my host.

and connections to buddhism and occult

True. But any of the other terms that I can think of to describe it doesn't make it sound any better

Buddhismancer

6:09 PM

Occultmancer

That last one's a winner

numbermancer

6:10 PM

Aka numerology

I'm not a mathematician. I'm a number mancer

6:10 PM

Oh that's where you were going with that

no, numerology is yet another pseudoscientific crap

6:13 PM

Numerology

Numerology is any belief in the divine or mystical relationship between a number and one or more coinciding events. It is also the study of the numerical value of the letters in words, names and ideas. It is often associated with the paranormal, alongside astrology and simila...

I've heard it referenced a few times but other than that I know nothing of it probably better that way really

Yeah.

6:14 PM

Especially because everyone gets it wrong.

Tulpa is the base word the community decided on but the original stuff was like, Tibetan

6:26 PM

-ae is Latin pluralization and a lot of English words were Latin and that's why you see it

6:26 PM

but coming from not-Latin there's literally no reason to use -ae

6:27 PM

adding -s is the accepted standard for english

6:27 PM

just "Tulpa" is interesting, and some people prefer that... but I literally never ever ever see it

6:27 PM

when I do I assume the person's English is just poor tbh

6:27 PM

and I think that's usually the case

I think it flows rather naturally to just do away with any pluralization of it. But everyone's going to take that differently. Even that you just don't really understand the language I guess

there's no controversy over tuppers though, no one ever says tupperae

I just don't like the term tupper at all. Neither do my tulpa. They consider it disrespectful.

1

Trixie/ if anyone is curious. It seems like one of those stupid pet names that you would use for something you never consider equal to yourself. Like a dog or a cat.

6:51 PM

Food containter aren't considered equal too

tupper is a totally not serious word y'know

10:15 PM

not an actual replacement for tulpa

10:16 PM

like uh, mind ghosts? head demons? things like that

10:16 PM

I usually say tulpa and don't say tuppers but I do say tups, which would be short for tuppers I guess

10:17 PM

anyways pluralization is up to you

10:17 PM

plenty say tulpae

10:17 PM

most say tulpas

10:17 PM

very few say tulpa, but it still makes more sense than tulpae

you hardly ever hear mind ghost or head demon, those terms are pretty scarce

well I don't see recent mentions of "demon" in that context but..

10:19 PM

it's not THAT rare, I swear

10:20 PM

also I might have the terms wrong x3

10:20 PM

point is tupper/tupperware/tup are not serious terms and you shouldn't be offended by them

tupperware is basically a meme at this point

if tupper = tulpa, tupperware = system(mates) usually

10:21 PM

I feel like I've seen "How's your tupperware"

10:21 PM

not many people say it but when they do it's a joke

no

10:29 PM

nu nu nu nu

10:29 PM

tupperware party = system

Tupperware Remix Party AKA TWRP? that ain't tulpa related

{^^ nope; but there awesome. LoL}

dangit I was about to say head ghost somewhere and had to come back here to make sure I said it right and I didn't

3:49 PM

it's head ghost and mind demon, but maybe head demon is said too

3:49 PM

not mind ghost idk why I said that

I've heard mind ghost before

what the hell are you talking about?

just a lil ways up you barely have to scroll

3:51 PM

we were talking about calling tulpas tuppers/tupperware

3:51 PM

so I mentioned the term being similar to head ghosts* and mind demons*

ah, okay, I see

ie not serious terms
