our straight indoctrinated brains thought he was just being respectful

10:01 PM

simpler times man

Felix Faux

So did I but I still turned out mostly into women

interesting

I ended up having an imaginary harem

oh god

10:04 PM

btw do yall's birthdays correspond to your actual ages?

10:04 PM

because that is the case for my tulpas

not really

see it felt wrong to have their birthdays be when I created them

In some cases we made up exact dates as we simply weren't sure of them.

and Im not going to keep track of that either

10:06 PM

so yeah all my friends' years of birth are 2002-2005

10:06 PM

so around my own age

Oh, so you make them fictional?

10:11 PM

when we talk about birthday, we mean days we started talking.

10:11 PM

As a tulpa

I make them realistic people

That's okay too

Sora Faux

when we talk about birthday, we mean days we started talking.

well

10:11 PM

no other term for that so confusion it is

I'm just above 1 yo :v

bro everyone developed their tulpas in their teens/adult years

10:12 PM

and then theres me

10:12 PM

c h i l d h o o d

Well... For imaginary companions that people call tulpas that's the case usually.

and they actually stayed and grew up with me lol

But most of natural ones are made by 3yo kids

10:13 PM

And don't last very long

10:14 PM

With them being long-lasting they are closer to tulpas or adults than imaginary friends of kids I think.

yeah

Sometimes novelists have similar experiences with characters from their books.

idk man all I know is that I had ZERO human contact outside of my own parents for most of my life until then so I just snapped one day and created my human contact

10:16 PM

which ended up being a pretty healthy coping mechanism imo

10:16 PM

because I didnt completely isolate myself

10:16 PM

I placed my IFs in the real world

It's cool they were helpful and there still is place for them in your life

I was very open to making real friends

10:17 PM

I just needed my imaginary ones to not go insane

Sora Faux

It's cool they were helpful and there still is place for them in your life

yeah

10:18 PM

2 of my real friends actually know about my tulpas lol

For me tulpas have been a cool substitute of family and really close friends rather than casual friends.

2 of my real friends actually know about my tulpas lol

@rain - jump do they talk to them? Like irl

Elfie

2 of my real friends actually know about my tulpas lol

@rain - jump do they talk to them? Like irl

that is kind of impossible sadly

Wait what?

well it is possible I just have to be "so he said this" all the time

10:20 PM

unless its online

10:20 PM

then we can do something

Switching irl can be awkward.

I only switch if I wanna imagine a thought one of my tulpas is having

We could do it but it has always felt awkward. With text alone it's much easier to be your tulpa.

yeah

10:22 PM

your tulpa can actually talk to other people and it feels real

10:23 PM

did any of your guys' tulpas go to school with you?

10:23 PM

because mine did

10:23 PM

and many of them are in university now lol

Nope. We aren't making deep lore like that for ours.

bruh I need to find people with lore like mine

10:25 PM

I mean tulpas are supposed to have their own hobbies arent they?

10:25 PM

so why not make them have jobs

I'm always trying to leave a spare seat beside me to Elfie have where to seat. Or she can use her little fairy form, but it seems a little hard for her. Without a form is okay too.

I kind of get a bit angry when people sit next to me on public transport because my friends are supposed to be sitting there lol

10:26 PM

but what can you do

10:27 PM

you just either make your tulpas stand up or ignore them

I mean tulpas are supposed to have their own hobbies arent they?

@rain - jump It really depends on how you see your tulpas. From what I can see, your tulpas are supposed to imitate real people and have their own fictional lives when you aren't interacting with them.

bingo

My tulpas don't want fictional lives that we can't observe.

10:28 PM

We like fantasizing and building lore like that.

10:29 PM

But we don't make a big deal out of stuff that isn't even played like that.

whatever feels most right for each host tbh

10:29 PM

some people like taking advantage of the fantasy aspect

10:29 PM

I like my realism

10:33 PM

their names too lol

10:33 PM

have you ever seen a tulpa named thomas?

Hearing that name just played music in my head...

let me guess

Memes aside, I haven’t.-.

the funny train

Yep :v

well you see

10:34 PM

Im greek

10:34 PM

so naturally my tulpas will be greek as well

10:35 PM

so Θωμάς isnt a weird name

Wait... what does that mean?

thomas in greek

Oh, I see

he is forever doomed to be called thomas the tank engine by people because he refuses to by Tom in english lol

Rip Thomas

10:39 PM

He’s associated with a meme

indeed

10:40 PM

it would be hilarious if he was interested in becoming a train driver

10:40 PM

but alas he wants to become a musician

can't he be both?

well we cant force him to like driving trains now can we?

10:42 PM

lol

driving trains might or might not be like playing a piano

Gonna scream his name while riding a helicopter (if I can...)

Elfie

driving trains might or might not be like playing a piano

sad because thomas plays the violin

10:43 PM

whoops

real... violin?

?
