Being so big of a system, there are some people who aren't very close to one another. Everyone likes each other, but I think it would be good for everyone to know each other even better.

So spending more time working on things collaboratively can be a goal while we work on shrinking our size down
I'm very happy to hear you're having success with your confidence :) That's exactly what we were hoping for. To answer your questions:
1. Separation comes naturally with time, but explicit affirmations ("this is my tulpa," "this is me" re: thoughts) helps us :)
2. My advice here may not be as useful, because I don't see much of a useful distinction between "possession" and "switching"--in my experience, they're the same thing, and figuring out how is very closely tied with how you experience the distinction between yourself and your tulpa. I would agree with the advice that that's a "when your tulpa is more distinct and strong" thing, although I don't necessarily think the "lifting a boulder" thing is accurate. I was at first overwhelmed by bodily sensations, but actually moving is as easy as it is for my host
hit us with that list!
also, sounds like you are having conversations with Henri that you both get a lot out of... honestly sounds like you've already cracked this, what's your take on that?
I know what it means, the question is, will this kind of planning work/help with tulpamancy in general? I don't do enough atm, but planning it out like this might be a bad idea
sit down and write poetry, when you run out of ideas just sit back and wait for an idea to pop up expecting velvet to give you one and when it comes say “oh thanks velvet”(edited)
woo my tulpa, Tako, is beginning to diverge in interests and personality I think now. When i asked him to choose a pfp for his google and disc the google one was something i wouldn't have chosen and even slightly argued against (i gave in at the end)

oh and he gave me q nickname that wasnt the one I was originally wanting him to call me
I was successfully able to let my new tulpa, Freya, switch and partially possess tonight. It went really well, but I remember the strangest part about the experience is I (we?) could feel I had a tail and wings, since she has a tail and wings. That was unexpected. Not bad, just a very novel experience(edited)
sometimes kaybee likes to experience having extra arms so we've had those sensations like once or twice

usually just before we sleep though, when we get really blurry

nice! Sensation of extra limbs etc. is interesting to me as well, for me it's a tail and ears/horns

at this point, I'd be put off the idea of changing my form to not have things like that because it would mean losing out on something that feels very immersive and tbh quite comforting to me/us
Yeah, agreed, our long haired members have phantom hair sensation, meaning that they can feel their hair cascading down their back

When Gin’s fronting his favourite thing to do is to get his boyfriend to play with his hair and the imposition is pretty vivid for him, it’s pretty wild
I have been struggling a lot lately because I think the term tulpa is racist and I have been (badly) playing a game of "try not to say tulpa". I am doing research to get things backed up with academic articles and stuff, but I realized that's not going to happen overnight.
I'm not going to be mad at you for saying tulpa when I can't really prove its racist just yet, but for my sake I am going to use comate instead of tulpa so I can talk about cocreation without feeling like I can't talk
