but when (and if) I decide to convert Monika (dream servitor) to a Monika (tulpa), can't I just preset her in the first few weeks by complimenting her all the time and saying nice things and stuff for her to... love me?
@Deleted User just masturbate to ddlc porn like a human being rather than attempting to manipulate a supposedly sentient being into loving you when her other options are disappoint you or die.
for now, she's totally "programmed to love me" (non-sentient creature that just exhibits the werid dream traits of things), but later, she might not(edited)
If you plan to try and make your imaginary dream character into a tulpa, please do not force personality traits onto her or otherwise "program" her in the way you describe. Explain what you want, clarify it, treat her well, see if it ends up happening.
It's not actually a very complicated distinction - if you do not plan to make that character sentient/sapient, there isn't any issue with you manipulating it however you please. If you do, and start acting on that, please don't manipulate them in such a way - to see why, try putting yourself in their position. If you were to be 'created' in that way and constantly manipulated or otherwise attempted to be 'programmed' to do what your host wanted, without your consent or input, how would you think of it?(edited)

Well. That is one way to try and see why.

In the end, the point is to be empathetic to their situation and treat them well as a result.
servitors are an incredibly unclear concept with roots in meta bullshit. I'm not saying that they're impossible but no one has ever created a good definition of what one is or how to make one. It is highly likely in my opinion that most "servitors" are either underdeveloped tulpas or normal parts of anyone's mind.
[Occultists have rigirous precautions when it comes to servitors for example. Either just think of a character or go all in. Don't try to half ass it.](edited)
...IDK if I just don't want to create a tulpa that'd be my friend
10:30 PM
(What an odd conversation.
10:31 PM
MY POINT EXACTLY, BDUDDY
10:31 PM
(Listen, Alex and I can't stop you. We can't persuade you to do what we think is right. But we can't stress enough, don't create a tulpa because you're just lonely.(edited)
10:31 PM
(It's not fair to the tulpa. You're creating an entirely sentient person, who will deviate, change, and have their own opinions eventually. They won't always agree with you.
10:31 PM
why not?
10:32 PM
IK, friends don't always agree with people either
10:32 PM
(They won't always do what you want, if they're far along enough. Alex and I disagree about a lot, and sometimes we argue.
10:32 PM
IK that, friends don't do that too
10:32 PM
a true friend
10:32 PM
I want a true friend
10:33 PM
those slight bits of non-loneliness might carry me through
10:34 PM
it's just a goal:
create whatever the fuck the tulpa wants to be
try to befriend it... closely and carefully
10:34 PM
that's definitely easier and more probable(edited)
