#pro tulpa

[thegentlewonders]

Ya know, what's exciting to me is that plurality could be very underreported.

[nameless-syscourse]

I hate it when people think that just because we’re a DID system, we’re anti-endo. No you can’t talk to me about those “stupid endos,” they’re my friends, go away.

[3ntity56]

"Endos dni, mixed origins included" just feels kind of ableist to me. Oh, you utilized the same set of skills/mindset that one would use to memorize a skill or language to make a headmate/you have (a) headmate(s) that didn't originate from trauma? I don't care if you're otherwise traumagenic, don't talk to me! You must be PURELY TRAUMAGENIC to deserve my support!

[protectingtulpas]

Tulpas and other created headmates are so fucking cool. You engaged in the act of your own creation!!! Isn't that awesome??? You get to decide it all, right alongside the only person that'll ever 99-100% understand you from the ground up. That person wanted you in their life so intensely that they dedicated themselves to making you in one way or another! That's mind-blowing! You have something real and something special. Hey tulpas- it's important that you exist. Don't forget that!!!

The more I read about the autonomy of imaginary friends in children, the more I'm convinced that a majority of them are full self-conscious, autonomous headmates that host children are encouraged by society to push into permanent dormancy.

And I find that sad.

Like they're robbed of a life they could live because nobody actually understands what's going on or knows better.

[animal-creature]

Sometimes those who don't fit your personal definition of plural are going to identify as plural anyway, and that's okay.

Median, parasian systems and others who might not be "multiple enough" to you, those with imaginary friends who might not be "actual headmates" to you, as well as those who conceptualize their emotions and thoughts as headmates and those who's personality changes so much every time so they feel like they're becoming a different person, and many, many others.

They're plural if they say so, all that matters is that they've found comfort in the plural label.

[eldritchwhispersofficial]

okay my moot moots say it with me

We do not fully understand how the human brain works. We do not fully comprehend how plurality works.

You do not have to explain your mental illness to anyone. It's none of their business. You do not have to be traumatized to be a system. Being a non-traumagenic system does not mean you're faking it.

Willogenic systems are valid. Tulpa systems are valid.

Parogenic systems are valid. Protogenic systems are valid.

ENDOGENIC. SYSTEMS. ARE. VALID. WE DO NOT SUPPORT ABLEISM IN ANY FORM.

SAYING THAT A PERSON IS FAKING BEING A SYSTEM WITHOUT ANY PROOF IS ABLEIST.

THE ONLY PERSON WHO KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH IS YOU.

Being a headmate is amazing because i get to have riveting conversations with my host

Greetings and salutations to trans men who are lesbians. You aren't straight if you don't identify as such, and you're certainly not invalidating other experiences! There's no one way to experience being a trans man, nor is there a wrong way to express being a lesbian.

Hello and welcome to people who otherwise identify as lesboys for whatever reason! Are you multigender? Cool! butch who also considers themself a man? Tubular! Genderfluid? Rad! Man adjacent regardless of gender? Wicked! Keep being you!

Guten Tag, Guten Abend (good day, good evening) to gaybians! Don't let nobody tell you your identity is invalid. You're allowed to use all the labels that feel comfortable to you!

Make some noise for the people who use/identify with xenogenders! It's your gender, so do whatever you want with it! This includes those of us who are xenic adults, as well.

Can we get a warm welcome for endo systems? How about tulpas? You're not racist or ableist for having a different system origin! Mixed origin? Quoigenic? Any other type of origin? Y'all are rad, too. Keep being you.

Keep vibing, everyone I mentioned here, as well as those with any other good faith identities I missed!

Reasons endogenic systems make endogenic safe spaces: Discrimination from not only singlets who refuse to understand, but also traumagenic systems who choose to discriminate against their fellow systems. There are also hate are groups being formed just for endogenic systems existing and getting doxxed for the same reasons, despite science backing up endogenic systems.

Reasons anti endos make anti endo safe spaces: th-the big bad endo called me mean...... :'(

[kipandkandicore]

we tried uploading our doc compiling voices of asian/tibetan buddhists regarding tulpamancy language to the r/tulpas subreddit…

and surprise surprise, none other than cambriancrew, who is apparently a mod for that sub, locked our post almost immediately and assured us that tulpa terminology is not racist and that anyone who claims otherwise is just trying to destroy the tulpa community.

it’s disheartening, to say the least. even though our post was kind and respectful, without breaking a single rule of the sub, cambrian locked it almost immediately (literally like 3 minutes after we posted it).

so what are we to do when it comes to educating others and discussing racism within the tulpa community outside tumblr? it’s so sad to see that moderators are willing to lock and shut down any attempts people make at bringing these serious issues to light on reddit.

here is the doc in question, by the way…

tulpa appreciation post

if you're a tulpa, hi! i love you!

i think it's so wonderful that you can exist in this world. my tulpa makes me so happy, its so great that you can do the same for so many people.

it's such a lovely idea that you could love a character so much that you literally will them into existence through repeated interaction and attention and love. you are a being quite literally made of love!! thats so incredible!!

someone thought about you enough for you to become so important to them that they're willing to share an entire body with you. thats so lovely.

don't ever let anyone tell you that you arent worthy of being here. you're making so many people's lives better by simply just existing.

so i love you! i love my tulpas! i love every tulpa!

if you have some tulpas, please tell them hi and that you love them :)

#Tulpa life

One of the biggest things that stands out to me about the tulpamancy community on Tumblr is how alienated everyone seems to feel. You've got some advice blogs, some discourse blogs, but that's about it- which is wild to me, cuz tulpamancy is all about community and learning from each other! Even more than that tho, there's something important about seeing other tulpas & created systems doing what we want, making our own choices, LIVING our lives. It's a reminder that we're real people too- it's important and validating for others like us, and it's great for non-tulpas to see that we're just as much real and people as they are. The best part of tulpamancy is that we get to enjoy our own existence, decide for ourselves what we want, and live as US!! I wanna bring that energy to Tumblr.

That's why I'm starting a tag I want any other tulpas (and their hosts too, but don't forget this tag is about our autonomy) to join in on;

✨✨ #tulpa life ✨✨

the new tag for expressing yourself, living your life, and sharing your existence with the world!! What kinda unique experiences do you have as a tulpa? What hobbies and skills have you learned, what friends have you made?? Share your favorite memories, the gift you got for yourself, the food you cooked, anything that pertains to YOU and your existing as a separate real being. Not only for sharing yourself, but for connecting with others too! Imagine how great it'll feel to scroll through a tag full of other tulpas' experiences. I wanna make that a reality!! So help me out by posting things about yourself and your life as a tulpa under the tag #tulpa life, and let's see how many people we can reach by just being ourselves!!!

[magnum-oopsies]

Honestly, how people dare to tell people on their face that they are not real? Like, bro??? That's a stranger you don't even know, at least be a tinge polite

Also, I think that might trigger unreality, so, maybe don't do that? Even if you think someone is having a delusion, you are not the one who should dismantle that dude. That actually can be pretty dangerous ._.

[sophieinwonderland]

hi, do you have any links proving the existence of the upcoming stanford tulpa study on you? need to prove something to my therapist

There's a thread discussing it here when they were originally gathering participants:

Here's an AMA from someone who participated in the study:

And this is a largely unrelated study that involves tulpamancers:

This isn't the fMRI study, but if you look at the authors, you'll see Michael Lifshitz and Tanya Luhrmann, at least confirming that they're actively studying tulpamancy together.

Maybe @cambriancrew or @eeveecraft can provide some more links, seeing as they mod r/tulpas.
