but putting too much emphasis on how they feel and act, erm

I think that's a fair line to draw: if they decide to take it further than just a form and try to "act Black", then that's too far

yeah

This is just reminding me of back when Error would tell people he’s black because his form is literally just the color black not because he’s a black person lmao

I know it's different because Error just happens to have a black skeleton but that is a very cringe joke indeed

5:01 PM

Definitely more problematic

We try our best to ensure we aren't coming off in any harmful way, and if we are, we're not showing it externally and tackling it internally to prevent it from happening again.

Reminds me of some of the cringe things we used to say

That's why I like talking about stuff like this. I think it's good to at least think about it

5:03 PM

We want to make sure people feel safe at the end of the day (within reason)

We honestly struggle with internalized racism we developed from family members, so it's extra tricky for us especially when we overthink. I can't prevent every accidental slip-up, but I can sure as hell try.

I remember saying something super racist at a McDonald's by accident and I was so embarrassed. I almost cried

"by accident"

5:04 PM

ranger!

I didn't realize it was racist until after I said it and realized the context

God, I once rented out my apartment to a black guy and my mom is super blatantly racist and told me all this shit he’d do to fuck me over and then he actually did all those things and it had me sitting there just thinking “Am I racist….?” that was not a good day lmao

God.

5:05 PM

Our parents are underhandedly bigoted

5:06 PM

Like, they aren't outwardly racist, they just stereotype people in a kind of shitty, ignorant way.

My mom is very blatantly racist and transphobic :D

5:06 PM

And she’s the most confusing transphobe in existence

Oh yeah, parents are trabsohobic as hell, same

Don't let your parents make tulpas!

5:07 PM

Maybe the scariest tulpas of them all will end up being made by boomers

My mom will say transphobic shit around me and will always go out of her way to try to convince me I am not trans whenever I even hint at it. But then she also commented on my post asking for male name suggestions and told me the names she would have picked if I was born a guy. She also goes to the men’s section without prompting or questioning when she goes to help me go shopping

5:08 PM

So like, are you supportive or not????

Oddly, our mom doesn't care that we dress masculinely, perhaps because we have long hair or something, so it balances out,

5:10 PM

Then again, we don't have an issue with our hair at all. Lots of guys have long hair. Look at Jesus.

wait you guys choose to have parents?

5:11 PM

you know it's a choice right

Did you spawn in instead?

I love my mom

I love my parents, I just disagree with them.

She might have dementia and if she dies I’ll probably cease being able to function

It's hard not to love the people who raised me, even if they fuck up sometimes.

5:12 PM

Man, I'm sorry, Rusty.

We have a complicated relationship with Gray's parents If Gray's mother dies we're fucked though

Dementia's a bitch, nobody deserves that.

My mom is supportive in every other part of my life and I am pretty dependent on her for a lot of things because ✨ mental illness ✨ (edited)

I'd be distraught if anything happened to our parents. They aren't perfect, but neither are we. I'm always going to be their kid.

In slightly more lighthearted news, how does everyone feel about in-system relationships?

5:28 PM

Specifically romantic ones.

if you manage to love your headmate and your headmate loves you, the brain experiences self-love

5:31 PM

so i think there is a healing potential in it, i would just be cautious about depending on it too much and limiting yourself in finding someone in real life

We'd definitely be open to finding external partners, but we prefer this, methinks.

just keep in mind to not limit yourself, there are things that headmate cannot give that another human can

5:34 PM

i've seen some people becoming dysfunctional because of their in system relationship

Very fair.

5:35 PM

It helps us to value the body more, and our headmates as a whole.

5:36 PM

Plus, I think, if we ever wanted to try and make significant fusions, those people love one another enough to commit to being one person together.

5:36 PM

Not that we see it as a way to get them to fuse. We don't really care, but it makes it easier if we ever do decide on it.

you seem to have healthy approach to it

I try my best.

5:39 PM

I know as of now, i wouldn't dare fuse with my partner, we're not really as compatible personality wise than some of the others are.

5:39 PM

Bennett and Seth have debated it in passing before, or at least, wondering how it would be. They've been dating for two years.

have you ever had a partner in real life?

Nope

Random question, can tulpa's detect when the body is sick etc before you do?

Atlas ˗ˏˋM&M´ˎ˗

Nope

Wish I didn't either but I understand it was for experience

If they're more perceptive naturally, but not any other way ime.

We used to want that, but we realized we're more solitary and prefer having close friends to external romantic partners.

In addition to what Atlas said, the only other situation I can think of is if your headmate is emotionally too excited or too stressed to pay attention to how the body is feeling

Zee

Never say never. I absolutely can believe some edgelord would make a hitler tulpa just cuz

OMFG YES- i thought the exact same thing when i watched that movie

It's such a good movie

it really is

8:12 PM

it was sad in some parts but i loved it

8:18 PM

hey does anyone have any "voiceclaims" for their tulpas? like- have you found any videos that sound like them?

8:21 PM

i like to imagine peoples voices when reading their texts so im curious ~w~

We have voiceclaims for a lot of people in system

8:47 PM

We put them into a video, even

ooh!

Sometimes my voice becomes a character from a video I just watched. It's kinda annoying.

Ah that kinda sucks

We don't have any voice claims, at least not any we're aware of

Draco’s always had a steady voice. Difficult to describe but it’s deep-ish, and soothing. Not gravelly or raspy but still deeper than most. He’s really nice to listen to, but sadly I only have voice claims of how he sounds singing

A long kiss goodnight

We don't have any voice claims, at least not any we're aware of

Aah

HI! What do yall do in your wonderlands?

10:55 PM

We do wonderland combat which always gets random and fun

Listen to each other’s whining mostly

Most often we just do boring stuff like have tea and chat

Damn. Tea sounds nice

My favourit e tea is Jasmine tea! My host drinks it every morning

Yuka ↩️

Reply to: Most often we just do boring stuff like have tea and chat

We mostly just hang out with each other, sit together leaning against each other and chat about random things

Wonderland time is my government mandated inner therapy session

We went on a wonderland adventure before things went south. I believe Gray, I, Dream, and Moltosha went to this strange island with a mix of ink monsters and normal monsters Hopefully we can have other wonderland adventures like that one again

Destiny

We have voiceclaims of vocal synths James doesn't have one yet though

We mainly talk, or find somewhere comfortable and sit/lie down. We could easily do more, it's just that we generally don't want to.

Dev's voice is Skurry, a streamer. Watched a lot of 'em in his first months Deneb, still looking for one Dove, it kinda vibrates meanicingly

slides in one of my tulpas (mel) is looking for one but she has a couple favorites rn the interesting one is Dreamer who seems to mimic voices its already heard. but it rarely speaks lmao

I'd send ours, but it's slightly embaerassing.

4:03 AM

We made it specifically to send to one person, so

Ah

Just randomly thinking about plurality affecting stuff like therapy The idea of a self being made up of parts is something that has influenced my therapy. I do EMDR work, but for whatever reason we felt more comfortable talking to versions of ourselves that represented parts of us. As a result, our EMDR therapy is kind of weird but it works so

I'm not sure if there are other ways a plurality mindset can sneak into other things? I know it tends to sneak into stuff like creative writing and roleplaying, but how much does it influence AI, robotics, religion, something else entirely?
