I'm sorry, that's way too relatable

Sorry, intrusive thought

they would have the same opinions and memories

I've found equal richness in making friends with singlets as with making friends with entire plural systems

they would have the same opinions and memories

@Nota - jump We all share memories, yes

Haha yeah, I was the subject of the last meeting because I’m like a chronic loner and everyone was like “you can be paranoid all you want, just don’t assume the worst of us”

I mean I was isolating myself from my friends in-system because I thought they were too cool for me so I guess I had it coming lol

Hm, what do you mean by that?

Noooooothing

12:12 AM

~~I'm not host bashing or anything~~

oh I kinda get it(?)

My host's name is Gray, I had to give him crap

As you do

12:15 AM

We like giving our original crap too

Guys

12:15 AM

Serious discussion in lounge, we need opinions

Apparently thonkmancy is serious business

12:18 AM

Oh, it's not really a joke

12:19 AM

Thonk to replace tulpa? It came across as a joke at first, if it comes as a legitimate term I think it might be hard to sell

Nota

does that mean that if i befriend a system person i'll obtain 30 friends at once

not really with our case, it depends

A long kiss goodnight

no offense but tulpa is already a pretty whack term

None taken, I have my personal problems with the term

12:22 AM

I don't feel good to share them here right now though

it is a bit ack to me

We’re pretty apathetic towards the term, we prefer using headmate or systemmate because tulpa feels weirdly hierarchal (edited)

Oh yeah?

Yeah, "host = original" isn't my favorite

Well what if i asked you

12:23 AM

How many thonks you have in your head

you thonkin?

12:24 AM

is thonkin the replacment for tulpamancy

we came up with the word eri recently, still have yet to make a variant of eri that means purposely made like tulpa

if youre a tulpamancer are you a thonker

berockly (TTG)

How many thonks you have in your head

To me thonk seems too close to think

it sounds silly

A couple alternatives to 'tulpa' are the system origin terms "parogenic" and "willogenic" meaning intentionally created

Agreed

Reply to: Yeah, "host = original" isn't my favorite

if you call them "thonks" i'll call them "vassals"

I really don't like parogen or paro. The -genic context is rooted in anti-endo sentimism and I don't want to be a part of all of that

We like to avoid hierarchies as much as possible so we don’t even disclose the identity of our original

Reply to: Agreed

I dont like genic terms either. It's too hard to fit my experience into something like tgat

Nobody can treat the original differently if no one knows who they are

"Mixed-origin" is probably as specific as I'm going to get. There's mystique in it.

A long kiss goodnight

It is..? Ik a person with DID created the terms traumagenic and endogenic but i thought they were neutral on endos

some of us use genic terms from member to member but its just self identification type of stuff

We don’t really use genic terms very often

headmate seems like the most neutral term, but what to call the practice? Plurality is too broad an umbrella term

I could be misremembering, but there was a whole write up someone did on the subject Here it is- I had part 3 and 4 in mind iirc https://lb-lee.dreamwidth.org/1120824.html (edited)

i see some people say stuff like mind-hacking :p we say that oftentimes with how we use the practice

mm yeah that term is associated with silicon valley drug addicts to us though

fair enough

Nota

Hey your getting it!

like "buy non-perscription amphetamines to work even harder at your job" kinda drug addicts

I see

I have a soft spot for the term comate, meaning "with/joint/together friend". It's a simple word, you can choose to drop -mancy or not (cocreation, comancy), and there's something absolutely beautiful about a cocreator as the host- a host isn't soley responsible for a tulpa's creation

that sounds nice tbh

nevermind, bulpamancy it is

Ale𝕏andra 🍄🐈

dividualism

very cool! But it does sound more like an ideology than a practice

I like it though

Bulpa, and bulpamate

12:31 AM

bulpagenic

Mememancy

personally, tulpa is a fine term

thanks, I stole the idea from someone smarter than me

eri/eries are probably words i will continue to use more just bc i like stuff being personal

Just making guys y’know

Spending time with the guys

I am just producing guys

that thing my brain does without me asking it to

Nota

Yeah

12:33 AM

BUT

12:33 AM

Its still very fun, i mean important business that we discuss alternatives

i don't think i have a say on this as i am a noob

Once bulpamancy becomes mainstream, I'll make a killing on the commercial rights

Nota

i don't think i have a say on this as i am a noob

It's okay to have an opinion on this. Plus, I personally find your opinion really valuable as it will give us a better sense of what beginners think in general

so my value will drop as i gain experience

12:39 AM

opinion inflation

No, I mean specifically for the topic of alternatives to the word tulpa

12:41 AM

Your opinion doesn't deflate over time. Your opinions matter in general, I just wanted to encourage you to hop in and I'm genuinely interested in what you think

another question

1:11 AM

how do tulpas based off pre-existing fictional characters feel about their origin? (edited)

@Rusty

It depends for us

to be specific, i want individual opinions

Some of us see ourselves as literally that character. Some of us like it, Some of us have had very negative experiences

Will ask Eishi! Moment...

Reply to: how do tulpas based off pre-existing fictional characters feel about their origin?

Me personally, I don't mind being a fictive of a genshin character. I have memories of myself in the game, and sometimes those memories bother me, or make me miss my "home", but generally, I cope.

None of us are based off of pre-existing fictional characters. I was accidentally based off my headmate, but I don't think that counts

For what it's worth, neither of us feel much attachment towards our respective series' apart from liking them. We don't feel like we're really from any of our "sources."

Reply to: how do tulpas based off pre-existing fictional characters feel about their origin?

I feel pretty disconnected from my source. I'm an oc of Kei's. I used to feel quite connected to it, and remembered exomemories very strongly. But now, i've grown as an individual, and i feel more connected to this life.

Owen is another fictive in our system, and he's struggled to move past his fictional memories, because he misses his old life and wishes he had it back. Some experiences are more negative than others after all. Owen's life in the game was a mostly successful one, and with magic and fame and all that, he finds this life to be sad, and boring.
