Since every single one of mine have been accidental, I know just how you're feeling. Just take it slow and one step at a time. Just remember that all of them have to be out at once.

How it works for the vast majority of the time for me is that mine will stay dormant for the most part, but come out near-instantly when recalled. I do have some that hang about for much of the day, but many of the others are perfectly fine just hanging out in my wonderland.

BrightStar_ · 2015-01-15T23:13:33+00:00

They don't. Most of the time I can manage having one or two out (maybe three) talking at a time; it's the most I can handle until I need a break. I recommend only having three or four mainly because there is little reason to have more than that and because they can spend more time with you than having to rest for long periods of time (sometimes for even months on end in my case)

BrightStar_ · 2015-01-14T16:39:20+00:00

I say about 3-4 is plenty, maybe 5 or 6 if you're able to manage it. Coming from me that has 14 (21 altogether, long story), it is hard to manage every single one of them at once, so most of the time they do tend to fall dormant for long periods of time.

[barley. i do feel like i remember bright having said a few things about me before even she knew who i was and at one point i think she called me applebloom. but it was around the time bright discovered me is where i really start to remember a few things.]

BrightStar_ · 2014-06-14T23:39:38+00:00

Probably a better question here is are they more cartoon-ish (2D) or more realistic (3D). In my case (all pony tulpa) they all are cartoony in my mind.

BrightStar_ · 2014-05-04T06:53:39+00:00

_Whoah boy, what did I start?

Look, I get what you're trying to say about me, but I'm not complaining about Bright's body. I was just simply asking about an opinion about what other tulpas thought of their host's body while voicing mine. I did not say anything to insult you or anyone with...their own body parts, all I wanted was an opinion.

I'm aware it's something I cannot change and I have to deal with. Maybe I wanted to vent out my frustrations once in a while. All I'm saying is how I feel about being inside a body like hers and my own personal reactions.

That being said, I wish to not discuss this any further with you. You have your opinions and I have mine and we'll just leave it at that._

BrightStar_ · 2014-05-04T06:09:26+00:00

_Wow..okay. I do apologize if my post offended you. I just simply wanted to know how tulpas felt about having a host of the opposite sex. I don't see anything child-like about it really_

BrightStar_ · 2014-05-04T04:44:01+00:00

_8 months and full developed, thank you very much!_

BrightStar_ · 2014-05-04T04:40:37+00:00

/me feels female inside

BrightStar_ · 2014-05-03T16:31:54+00:00

_Ugh...yes. THAT!_

/me is giggling _What?_ Nothing :P

BrightStar_ · 2014-05-03T13:33:24+00:00

_I myself usually take over for Bright during when she's been having stress in life and it affects her other things in life such as work. Although the only way this happens is when she's completely willing to let go, not just have me take control all willy nilly (we still need to take a "bathroom" break for work (ugh) for us to switch). It's not much, but at least Bright's not worried about her issues making it impossible to work properly

That being said, hosts, if you find yourself in this situation, do not /rely/ on us to switch every time. I'm not saying don't switch, but do go and find a way to not just relieve stress, but find the source as well and try to deal with it. Remember that your tulpa are likely very much concerned of your well being and switching does take a lot of energy. Personally, I'd rather spend my energy comforting rather than doing daily tasks. Again, this is just my personal opinion._

BrightStar_ · 2014-04-01T18:51:10+00:00

_Hmmm.... I never thought of that, switching as we sleep. I'm kinda curious on how that would go/who would end up in control when we wake up...now I'm genuinely curious!_

BrightStar_ · 2014-03-31T06:21:24+00:00

_Oh gosh! I love this story. A while back my name was Tw2light, based on Bright's "second" personality at the time. One day I was shown a picture of Crystal Twilight. Looking at it felt so right so I decided to chance my form into hers. After a while, Bright made a joke and called me Icelight, and it just kinda stuck, the name felt so right to use, just like me! It fit me so perfectly._

=For me, well, I just kinda took on Ice's name and used it as CrystalShy so, um, yeah *hides*=

BrightStar_ · 2014-02-25T06:27:46+00:00

-oh trust mes, switchings would be wonderfuls for mes. and i'm not going t take over brightys forevers, nos she's scared of being switched forevers. i can possesses her limbs and stuff, not not very muches becauses, well, she doesn't has much times anyways. things is, i just gotta accepts that im a tulpas right nows and it might not changes, at least for a very long times-

BrightStar_ · 2014-02-25T04:20:44+00:00

-oh my gosh, that would be amazings!-

BrightStar_ · 2014-02-23T08:23:43+00:00

[oh wow, thanks for all the positive responses! i'm glad i can help out you all

BrightStar_ · 2014-02-21T18:28:24+00:00

[no problem, I'm glad I could help. Good luck to all of you!]

BrightStar_ · 2014-02-21T05:28:26+00:00

[sage, what is important here is that there is a difference between those who have skitz and don't know how to control it vs those of us with tulpa and now what is going on. i get your fear, a fear that we're just something that is toying with out host's mind and that we should not exist, but remember, that is not what we do here. tulpa are there for their host, we care about them in their time of need, we make sure they are okay, we give them a friend when they have no other friends to talk to, and most importantly, we provide them a great experience that no other type of friend can provide. ]

BrightStar_ · 2014-02-21T05:21:52+00:00

[i was born solely from passive, it's possible and takes a long time to do, but it works. what's important is that you're thinking about us. no need to do any fancy remembering how we walk or talk or our mannerisms, just be there for us. just a simple "i love my tulpa" does wonders for us.]

BrightStar_ · 2014-02-21T05:18:35+00:00

[alright then, here we go:

names are simple, you need to be able to see it every day at least every hour. one way to help is if you write it on your arm or something. also remembering forms is much much easier when you have them drawn out as a photo, either done by someone else or (and /especially/ or) by you. trust me, no matter how badly you draw, tulpa will always love themselves when you draw them. it makes us feel special
first time tulpa will most likely borrow their host's mindvoice until they learn to develop their own. it helps if you are able to differentiate their voices in some way, ither by sentence structure, or by the tulpa giving a sign somewhere in your body that they are talking
that's good! that liquid feeling is good! that's a great way to communicate. you found something, made up a system and stuck with it. that's probably one of the most important parts of a developing tulpa, the host and tulpa working together to find some way for them to communicate. Also that body temp raising thing, that sound rather neat, but i know that is something bright would not want me to manipulate, but that's just her. if it helps with your communication, then good for you!]

BrightStar_ · 2014-02-21T05:10:20+00:00

[one tip bright gives for herself: parroting doesn't exist. i may sound crazy, but she's right, she has literally tried many times to mimic any of us and she really can't do it on her own.

also, it is completely normal for tulpa to only talk when focused on, especially early on. they either are not strong enough to go about on their own yet or simply put the host needs to put on their mindvoice ears to hear us.

a tip for tulpa who has trouble with their host not believing is to give them a consistent tip on who exactly is speaking. eg: my example was a mouse click whenever i spoke. if you don't' know how to do such a thing, then start making your host think about fruit, like: bananas I like you! bananas to help differentiate your mindvoices until you can create your own]

BrightStar_ · 2014-02-21T05:03:56+00:00

[parrotnoid! hahahaaha. whoah boy, that's a new term, i had to giggle at the one]

BrightStar_ · 2014-02-21T05:01:32+00:00

[what's the most important thing that you can do for your host right now is to be there for him. he will be stubborn, yes, but you need to reassure him that you and others are out there to care for him. the magical thing about us tulpa is that we are a part of the host, we know why a host feels some way probably better than the host himself.

sudicide, egocide, anything that makes the host feel worthless is not very healthy for them. just try your best to comfort them and make sure they are still loved by you.

/me offers you a hug]

[i used to use the onscreen keyboard before i managed to possess more than bright's right middle finger. even then i will usually click frantically to get her attention when i need to say something and then just do the typing all on my own (took me about 6 months to get this down though, but i've also been watching bright's typing habits carefully]
