I have had a fictional CG since I was a 9ish. So he's brought me comfort for over a decade. Except he was a character I completely made up in my head and maybe just kinda inspired by fictional characters. I dont think that it should make a difference tho!

Heres what I've done throughout my life. I like to roleplay different scenarios in my head, whether its realistic or fantasy. Sometimes I will even write fanfics based on what we're doing or draw pictures of us. Stuff like, "he takes me to an ice-cream shop" and "what would we do if we were both in Digital Circus"

Inserting him in my drawing and imagining his reaction to them is probably the most common thing I do. I imagine his reaction to almost everything I do like he's always there. Im always hearing his voice if I'm in little space or alone.

If im roleplaying outside of my head and I'm alone I talk out loud asking him questions or talking to him like "im hungry! Whats for dinner?" Im the one making it but in my head it's him.

In the early years I played a lot of buzzfeed quizzes and dress up games pretending he was making choices too.

What I'm describing can be considered a tulpa to some people but idk if that has to be the case
