"why cant they just make ocs??" the fakeclaimers say!

i did make ocs. they are in my brain now

But... aren't all OCs in your head? Oh no, are our OCs supposed to be somewhere else??? /jk

(Teasing aside, shoutout from another OC-turned-headmate! 😁)

I think the reason I tend not to trust endo-neutrals similarly to anti-endos is because out of all the endogenic origins, created systems are likely to be the least supported by them, and especially created systems who identify with tulpamancy.

At least with anti-endos I know what I'm getting. But endo-neutrals are more of an unknown.

my disorder is not a trend. my disorder is not a costume. its not a happy story or happy ending. its a sad story with a sad ending. its messy and bloody and harmful and terrible and its not something to be romanticized.

stop pretending like its a game. its very fucking real and it hurts people. i never asked for this. i never asked to be abused, i never asked to be neglected, i never asked to be a system, i never asked for 20+ people to share my brain and body with me, i never asked for any of this, and i sure as hell dont want this.

putting the fucking endo tags on here so you see this. fuck off. endos arent punk. stop stealing our tags and resources and communities and then getting upset when we take them back. feel fucking free to dm me if you wanna argue but dont complain when i call you out on your fucking bullshit.

fuck endos, fuck tulpas, fuck willows, fuck all of you.

traumagenic systems, i love you. and ps., take the pluralgang, pluralpunk, and all the other endo tags back, 'cause they aint theirs, theyre ours.

Tulpa’s are not real. It’s literally just your imaginary friend that you created, and you’re delusional enough to think it’s some other being taking control of your body.

It’s genuinely sad to see these kids be brainwashed into thinking it’s anything but.

Get some help.

Lukewarm System Takes (Better than that other guy's)

1.) "Endogenic 'systems'" have pushed back years of progress just by claiming to exist. Same goes for "tulpas". They are appropriating a closed culture and are completely warping what having a tulpa truly means. They are not valid.

2.) Littles should not have access to the internet.

3.) The romanticisation of systemhood needs to stop. It is a disability. It is not fun to have.

4.) RAMCOA needs to be renamed and reevaluated as a concept. As someone who experienced organised abuse, I have absolutely 0 support for people using a term rooted in the satanic panic/SRA. RAMCOA is an outdated term.

5.) I do not believe systems should be sharing every detail of their systems and alters. This can and will be used against you by people wanting to hurt you. This is why I personally share almost nothing about my system.

6.) System hopping is not a thing. You cannot transfer part of your consciousness into the consciousness of another person.

7.) Source separation should not be forced. If an introject does not want to separate from source, do not force it.

8.) Having a name from a culture other than the body's is okay. The only issue comes from closed names such as names that must be gifted or earned.

9.) Systems who talk to each other over text (ex. having a whole conversation in a discord server) are very likely faking. Rapid switching like that would cause distress and disruption, and you would be more focused on trying to ground yourself than have a conversation.

10.) "All systems are different" There is a diagnostic criteria for a reason. If you do not meet those criteria, you are not a system.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

[multiplicity-positivity]

Here’s some positivity for created systems!

While many systems formed spontaneously or as a result of trauma, there are many systems out there who were created as a conscious decision from the host, or someone inside! This is an incredibly important and valid plural experience, and this post is for those systems!

🔆 Shoutout to created systems who formed as a means to cope with loneliness, isolation, trauma, neurodivergence, disability, stress, or anything else!

💕 Shoutout to systems who had to devote lots of time, energy, and hard work into making your system what it is today!

✨ Shoutout to systems who were created through spiritual or metaphysical means!

🏵 Shoutout to those whose systems were created easily, whether on purpose or by accident!

🌿 Shoutout to tulpas, willomates, thoughtforms, soulbonds, and other headmates in systems who were created, whether consciously or unconsciously!

🌺 Shoutout to systems and headmates who use their own terminology or choose not to use labels to describe their creation!

💙 Shoutout to created systems who often doubt themselves, worry about being fakeclaimed, and sometimes struggle with their existence!

🌈 Shoutout to created systems who advocate for themselves and other created systems, and to those who have to mask for their own safety!

Listen - just because there is not much research into the existence of created systems does not mean that you are inherently wrong about yourself, your system, and what y’all experience. You know yourselves more than anyone else! If you truly believe you are plural, a system, or otherwise not alone in your own mind, please know that you are a welcome and integral part of the plural community just the way you are!

As always, we love y’all! We’re rooting for you! We believe in you! And we wish the very best for you! We may not be a created system ourself, but we want to stand up for and support y’all however we can. :)

No, because I'm looking in the endogenic / tulpa / tulpagenic tag to find posts for my friend (he's going to create a system) and there's ALWAYS an anti endo being annoying on OUR tags, why are you posting on #tulpas if you're going to invalidate tulpas ???

[sophieinwonderland]

What are pros you see to being plural? What about pros to being a singlet?

I suppose one pro to singlethood is not having other people in your head you need to consider. You don't need to think about giving up some of your time for somebody else. Your body is 100% your own.

For plurality, the biggest benefit is never being alone. Always having someone there with you.

It's not a replacement for interaction with external people, but it does help stave off loneliness. And it's a different type of relationship than a singlet can achieve otherwise, being able to hear each other's thoughts and feel each other's emotions is an incredible experience. With external people, if you're empathetic, you might be able to imagine what someone else is feeling. But you don't truly feel it yourself.

There's nothing quite like feeling someone else's love for you, unabashed with no barriers between you.

The ability to feel emotions can be problematic sometimes too, because it means your mood might be soured all day because someone else in your head is upset about something. But the positives more than outweigh the negatives to me.

And the lack of being alone also extends beyond areas where people might traditionally think of.

When you're plural, you can share your imagination with someone else. You can show them exactly what you're thinking of when you might have difficulty articulating thoughts for external people.

And if you can lucid dream too, you can even share your dreams with headmates, calling them into your dreamworld where nobody external could possibly venture.

IMO, plurality is an incredible, transcendent experience. And I think one other pro is that it breaks down a lot of the illusions you hold about yourself as a singlet and expands what you think is possible with your brain. This is especially true of people who used to be singlets and later became plural. To people who were always plural, this is just normal.

But I think so many singlets go through life and will die without ever understanding even a fraction of the potential of their brains' capabilities, that they don't actually have to be alone in their heads, and that there are all these amazing things they could do if they had someone to share their life with, and I find that a little sad.

So like. Wikis and stuff only help so much, so I’m gonna ask an actual person (and friend).

What is tulpamancy?

I would define tulpamancy as a subculture focused around the practice of creating sentient thoughtforms (tulpas).

I call it a subculture specifically because honestly much of the stuff that makes tulpamancy unique as opposed to paromancy or willomancy is the culture surrounding it. It is very much its own thing adjacent to the general plural community. Tulpamancy originated from Buddhist practices which influences the heavy focus on mindfulness, meditation, and mental discipline. It intersects with mind hacking, many tulpamancers seeking to make a tulpa in order to gain greater control over their mind. It came together from a community of people willing to experiment and try new things and share their knowledge with each other.

The methodology of creating a tulpa is primarily through both interacting with/focusing on them throughout the day (passive forcing) and doing nothing but interacting with/focusing on them (active forcing). A healthy balance of active and passive forcing is considered best for creating a tulpa. From there, more specific skills like possession, imposition, and parallel processing can be learned. There's a lot of subculture-specific language in Tulpamancy that differs from the general plural community, but of course it also borrows a lot of language from it, such as fronting or switching. Many terms have analogs to each other.

You can create a headmate through various methods, call it various things, but Tulpamancy is something unique.

I am so proud of Tiberius omg omg I'm honestly amazed by him. Last night he managed to front (which was the first time we ever switched. I'm still a new tulpamancer!) and just. Incredible. I can't believe he managed to do that

He studied Latin for two hours, which is kind of impressive to do with no breaks or procrastination. If I have executive dysfunction he has executive function.

What's really cool is I noticed he holds the body a lot differently than I do. Especially in how he relaxes the face. But he tensed the shoulders a bit too much and this morning we woke up shoulders hurting. However we also woke up much better at Latin

And then, this afternoon I let him front again to go on a walk. During the walk he practiced saying words, and he talks very monotone. He got scared on the walk and I had to jump in, but eventually I could step back again

And, when we got home, he cooked dinner (it was pasta)! And ate it. ("I cook, I eat") His first meal!! He liked it

Tiberius, I can't believe how much progress you made in the amount of time you did it. A week ago, you were hardly vocal

[snakeskinass]

This is exactly what’s wrong with the endogenic/tulpa community.

This user was talking about their mental health and all you can do is bitch about cross-tagging??? Then when someone calls you out you turn around and play victim.

[bloodonvalentine]

why can't "transabled" people leave actual disabled people alone? our existence is not your aesthetic or fetish. you should not aspire to be oppressed. if you do, seek therapy.

why can't "transrace" people leave actual POC alone? again, their existence is not your aesthetic or fetish. you SHOULD NOT aspire to be oppressed. if you do, seek therapy.

why can't "endos" leave actual systems alone? our existence is NOT YOUR AESTHETIC OR FETISH. YOU SHOULD NOT ASPIRE TO BE OPPRESSED. SEEK THERAPY FOR YOUR FACTITIOUS DISORDER.

attention seeking is, for the most part, a normal phenomenon. to an extent, every person craves attention in one way or another. claiming to be something you are fundamentally not for attention is NOT NORMAL.

i suggest any "radqueers" and "endos" as well as their supporters seek professional help from a licensed psychologist. you are a scourge to actual oppressed folk and you will continue to be a waste of space in our communities until you learn to get proper help and stop living in an internet echo chamber of people who are just as delusional as you.

if you crave attention so much, get a hobby and get good at it. no, faking disorders online isn't a hobby.

get help.

(NO SYSCOURSE IN THE TAGS PLEASE)

i know i’m gonna sound like a hypocrite saying this in the same breath as my last post about plurality but i am a little wary about tulpamancy as we understand it. obviously i don’t know others experiences and i’m not going to invalidate anyone, but what i’ve seen is that Buddhist people can feel uncertain about or negative towards it because tulpamancy is so misrepresented and misunderstood in the West

again i’m not going to invalidate or block anyone, but i’m just a little wary you know? otherwise if it’s not hurting anybody carry on
