Luminesce: I suppose, waaaay back when when I was still new to "tulpas" (ie the internet's talking about what I'd already had in my head for a few years)(edited)
5:28 AM
A tulpa I'd meant to have dissipated just appeared again one day - though, her dissipation was when I was much younger and had a more imaginative/chaotic mind, and she showed back up having matured more just as I and the rest of my system had
5:28 AM
Otherwise I wouldn't have allowed such a thing to happen
Luminesce: (Keeping a tulpa dissipated is, after all, still up to the host/active fronters to keep enforced, by not allowing them to "be brought back up")(edited)

And treating them like they exist at all is basically forcing them again
it's a weird topic for us because im very sure no one is ever gone forever here and bringing someone back who fronted once or even never isnt really challenging unless under a few circumstances

i feel like our definition of go away is different from everyone elses and they just get pushed into the back closets or smn to be re used or remembered later

Then, talk it out if you're willing for them to continue staying
Some people can see results as soon as a day. For others it can take longer. I would only worry if you're not making any significantly progress after a couple months
If they already have a form and you have a sense of how they're going to act, as Aapeli said you may already have one
8:04 PM
Go ahead and talk to them, all you have to do is imagine their form and use your in-head voice to say something.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask ^^
it took me months and months of questioning and talking and doubting myself then another month or two of just buckling down and taking it all at face value

speaking of, i think we got pretty blended last night since we took so long to fall asleep + had a disorienting nap a few hours before it
8:23 PM
it was fun, honestly, melding together and not knowing where the boundaries had laid
usually i can figure out the 'who am i' question pretty easy just by asking, but saying out loud that i was kaybee or izzy both had the same kinda feeling (like not entirely right but still something i would call close)
8:31 PM
and for some reason saying out loud that i was probably blended/blurry felt really good, better than the other two
to me at least, i kinda mentioned it before. our personalities kinda fuse and we can't seem to feel the other in our headspace, and it felt different from having someone close to the front while the other was fronting
