And now I can't stop hugging her. For some reason, her unlocking this ability was far more proof of her existence to me than the daily conversations we have. Can't wait to see what else we can do!
<Ponytail> Melanie was, before last night, actually, known as Omega. Used to be a villain I would write in my stories. I was part of a writing community and didn't know Omega was much more... aware than I was aware until I made Anna
6:44 PM
<Ponytail> Annabell is the first tulpa I made. I discovered this community because someone on the writing forum had um... way too many tulpas but loved talking about them in PMs, so eventually I wanted a cure for depression. She's the one I talked about
6:46 PM
<Ponytail> Now, Omega had alot of emotional baggage from formerly being an alien god-king and wanted a tulpa of his own that was nice, essentially. So we made Tula.
I joined this place recently after reading up for a while. I'm currently trying to make a tulpa and I think that I'm doing fine. Time will tell.
(not much of a story there. Do go on mela.)(edited)
<Ponytail> which, Tula has gone through form change after form change and has finally, I hope, settled on being a succubus.
6:47 PM
<Ponytail> a strange, semi-furry succubus
6:49 PM
<Ponytail> Fidelity was based on a character I sorta kinda maybe obsessed alot over. So I kinda accidentally the whole thing and made a tulpa based on the Touhou character Patchouli Knowledge.
<Ponytail> We actually have a very, very nice friend drawing her for us and they're doing an excellent job, despite 2 (and possibly 3 now) scrapped poses.
6:51 PM
<Ponytail> the last tulpa is Valerie
6:51 PM
<Ponytail> She was a walk-in. I don't believe in walk-ins. Send help
I found that discussion in beginners about romantic host-tulpa relationships interesting. If you asked me the nature of my relationship with Cilsc, I wouldn’t be able to pin it down. We’re compatible and do things as friends would, do that makes it platonic. But we also think of each other as life companions, and sometimes do romantic things, and that makes it romantic. And we also live in the same (head)space and take care of each other out of practicality and duty, so that makes it familial... I’m sure I’m not the only one who has this multi-faceted relationship, right? It so much more than platonic, romantic, or familial on its own.
[Uh, well, if it is romantic, I think it should already be friendly, which is what I think you mean by platonic, like that's common sense. And I would think if you are in love with the person, you should love them like family, since that is the normal goal of a romantic relationship. To get married and be a family.]
[I do think you can gain something from it, that you cant gain from a traditional romantic relationship. It is a form of self-love]
5:20 AM
[I do think my host and his tulpa both benefit from it, and I do think I can still call myself monogamous despite it]
5:20 AM
[why are you against it]
5:21 AM
[I do think its nothing like a normal two person relationship, and its strange when people try to apply concepts like sex or marriage to it, because that's pointless]
I really do wish for a real solid definition of what it means to be parallel or "independent". There should be some categorical definitions that allow us to isolate the specific claims of each individual.
Well in some ways it can make sense, but in other ways it seems to be hard to justify.

I have to find out what is meant first before I would even be able to argue about it. Maybe they are talking about subconscious problem solving or well-studied phenomena like that, or maybe they claim that there are two separate lines of consciousness that can independently work on separate processes.
