Anonymous asked: What theme do you use for your page? It's so clean and professional. ;A;

It’s called Optimus, and you can get it here. I’ve modified it a little to fix a few annoyances like double </p> tags after question posts, a minor alignment adjustment, fixing the font to be more readable on default Ubuntu configurations while looking about the same as before on Windows, and adding colored spans for my tulpas, and a Javascript-free spoiler span. (View this post on my blog to see them in action.)

Tulpa Census: Half-way update!

We are now halfway through the polling period for the Tulpa census! I’d like to remind those who’ve not taken it yet to sit do and fill it out. It’s not that long, and quite a bit of it is multiple choice. We’ve gotten, at time of me writing this, 245 responses. So…

Kronkle has posted this update with a few statistics on the survey so far. Reblogging because I announced the survey in this post.

[This is a fake reblog, because Tumblr can’t reblog question posts. I’m also responding to these other related posts on the same blog: 1 2 3 4 5 6. Sorry it took me a few days to get to replying to these.]

Anonymous asked: So apparently, “tulpaforcing” is becoming a growing trend on this site. Bored tumblr kids delude themselves into thinking that they can create separate entities in their heads by focusing hard enough. They believe that the practice has validity because the concept originates from Tibetan Buddhism. (Obviously, every outdated belief from an exotic, non-Western land must be empirically sound.) It’s the new, “acceptable” way to appropriate DID.

Is this even different from multiple systems? I haven’t heard that word before.

I just- hate everything about this. I hate when people think something’s valid just because it’s from an ~ancient foreign culture~. They were not any smarter than current scientists and researchers are, they were just as idiotic as any other ancient civilization that knew nothing and made shit up.

And I fucking hate when people appropriate legitimate things to look more special, or completely twist and turn their meanings around to make it fit them. I can’t be trans*** cause that means having dysphoria? lol you don’t need dysphoria now to be trans so now I can be trans anyway! Illness means a number of symptoms? Symptoms all gone, I now have 5 mental illnesses!

Fucking christ. All of you get over yourselves. Grow up or find a different way to play the “special snowflake” game. Why can’t you just dress like goths or bimbos like the kids in my highschool days used to do for attention. At least they weren’t hurting anyone.

There are two topics going on in these posts: tulpa, and transgender issues. I’ll address the tulpa part first since it’s more on-topic for this blog.

Anonymous asked: Do you have any advice or tips on how to create or visualize a wonderland?

A wonderland is really nothing but a fairly detailed imagined location that you assume will continue to exist even when you aren’t actively imagining it. Some wonderlands are very realistic and may even be based on real-life places. Others are entirely surreal, abstract places. Some are stable, others change on their own. You could even make a sentient wonderland that is basically a tulpa. Really, anything you can imagine can be a wonderland.

If you have a “happy place” you imagine when you’re someplace you don’t want to be, you just about have a wonderland already. Just add the assumption that it will continue to run when you aren’t there, maybe work on the detail level a bit, and you’ve got it.

When I talk about detail level, I don’t just mean how clear you can visualize. Even with clear visualization, you can have undefined objects. If I tell you to visualize a person, you will likely end up with something with something undefined. It has the overall shape of a person, but few details are present. This may appear as blurry, interfere with your ability to visualize it as clearly as you normally can, or even appear as zillions of different ways it could be, stacked up. As you fill in the details, either by consciously deciding them or looking at a part and letting it fill itself in, the object becomes clearer and better defined. Adding details to your wonderland this way will make it easier to see and more pleasant to live in, for both you and your tulpa.

If you’re having issues visualizing at all, I wrote a guide on this. If that doesn’t help, tell me the problem you’re having in more detail.

Community census time!

Click here to take the census!

This is a census for the whole tulpa community, regardless of where they hang out and regardless of whether or not they have a tulpa or what stage of development any tulpae they have are at. Unlike a certain other survey, this one isn’t very long and a lot of the questions are multiple choice, so it shouldn’t take too long to fill out.

I encourage ALL my followers and anyone else interested in the tulpa phenomenon to take it.

This survey is created and maintained by Kronkleberry of Reddit’s /r/Tulpas.

EDIT: Results will not be available until the census is over in 2 weeks. Some time after that (i.e. when Kronkle has enough time), anonymized results and in-depth analysis will be released, and I’ll make a post about that and edit this post.

Anonymous asked: In one of your Q&A you mention how, thanks to your tulpa, you became able to "consciously block pain in a given area". How did you learn this skill? Care to tell more about this?

It’s honestly not that difficult, though it is something that has evolved over time and I’ve gotten somewhat better at.

Before anything else, let me make something very clear. This is NOT something to be used to increase endurance or to break your usual limits, although it can be used this way. Pain is the body’s way of telling you that something is wrong and that you’re likely in danger of damaging it farther. You should listen to it. What this is good for, however, is chronic pain, pain that you know doesn’t correspond to real danger, or when you absolutely *must* go on. Or if you stubbed your toe or somesuch.

The Tulpa’s Promise.

kronklealyson:

Aly here today, and I thought I’d write up a little something.

…

I am here for Kronkle, for good, for bad, and for the ugly. While I can try to help others, I’m here for Kronkle, and Kronkle alone.

I promise that I’ll support Kronkle, and Lilly, through the thick and thin of things. It’s as much as I can do to equal out the load, to take off of him what I can to help him be more productive, to be more happy. After all, his well being directly affects me.

I just asked Lyra about this and she mostly agrees, but feels it goes both ways. We’re here for each other, rather than just her for me, and she sees both sides of it as about equally integral to our relationship. — This is really in line with what I want as well, which is for us to be more or less equals.

Anonymous asked: I just found out what a tulpa was yesterday, and I only just stopped being afraid of the concept a few hours ago - yet, I feel like I already have a tulpa and some sort of emotional connection. I don't even know anything about him yet! Only that he's male, and I seem to keep seeing long black hair, tied back. I'm a writer, too - is there a way to tell if this is different from me just creating another character? I don't want to hurt him or rush anything ; =;

First, sorry for taking a while to reply. This kinda got lost in other stuff I’m doing.

Your tulpa will likely start out similar to another character, since the personality / “getting to know your tulpa” phase is basically the same as character design. Then you start talking to him and assume he’s alive and not under your control. This is where it deviates from making a character.

The point when you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you do indeed have a tulpa and not just another character, depends on you. For some it’s when they start sending thoughts, or maybe thoughts that disagree with your own sometimes. For others it might take until the tulpa can be heard out loud and is fully independent. Still others somehow manage to keep on doubting their tulpa even after they can switch.

I recommend trying your best to believe your tulpa is fully sentient and capable of independent thought from the day you have the idea of him in your head. I know it can be hard, but it does appear to help the tulpa advance and be able to respond more quickly.

Anonymous asked: I just started on the whole Tulpa process, I was initially scared because of a creepypasta I read before actually knowing they couldn't do that in the tulpa site. Now I'm trying to create a Tulpa but I can't find some things I want to know, like can I make it the opposite gender? Can I edit my wonderland? Do I parrot or not (A lot on the site said to and a lot said not to because it won't turn out right)? I get slight headaches at the start but lost them later, is this normal? Thanks, bye!

Yes, you can make a tulpa of any gender you like, or no gender at all. Actually, most tulpae appear to be the opposite gender of their creator. I have 2.5 female and 1 male.

Yes, you can edit your wonderland very easily, and so can your tulpae. It’s a world of your own making and you have godlike powers over it. You can make objects appears and disappear as you please. You can use the Force to lift rocks. You can see through things that are in the way. Anything you can imagine, because it is your imagination.

Parroting can be good when used appropriately. You can use it to teach your tulpa how to do things. For instance, puppet movement consciously for a couple weeks to show them how to move realistically. (Same for speech or anything else.) After that, go cold turkey and let them move on their own. An alternate way is Fede’s method, which is to parrot until the tulpa begins to take over the movements and speech.
