General Questions

A tulpa is believed ta be a autonomous consciousnizz coinhabitin a funky-ass dome wit they creator, often wit a gangbangin' form of they creator's initial chizzle n' design. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz. A tulpa is entirely sentient n' up in control of they opinions, vibe, form n' movement. They is willingly pimped via a fuckin shitload of steez ta act as companions, muses, n' advisers. Tulpa forms can either be visualized up in tha mind's eye, or, wit practice, peeped as a hallucinatory figure rockin a technique called imposition.

Yo ass betta describe how tha fuck dis works?

By poppin' off ta n' fleshin up a personalitizzle up in yo' own mind fo' a sustained period of time, you gonna begin ta receive responses from dat prototype personality. These responses can take nuff forms yo, but probably begin as a "reply" ta yo' own thoughts, whether verbal or a sort of wack sensation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Over time, these responses will grow mo' coherent n' varied, includin up in ways dat may surprise you, n' tha personalitizzle up in turn will fill up n' grow without yo' aid. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! In essence, a tulpa begins as a cold-ass lil concept n' menstrual construct that, over time n' pimpment, slowly grows sentient - dis sentience can be thought of as tha fundamenstrual essence of a tulpa. Everythang else is just buildin upon dat sentience, n' pimpin a gangbangin' form up in yo' mind fo' dem ta represent theyselves by.

Alternatively, fo' dem familiar wit Mass Effect, tha geth is a phat metaphor fo' dis process fo' realz. Although they was originally designed ta be mindless automatons, they creators added ta they programmin lil by lil over a long-ass span of time up in order ta allow dem ta big-ass up mo' n' mo' complex tasks. Eventually, they programmin hit a cold-ass lil critical mass of complexity, n' sentience pimped up in tha geth as a result. Tulpas are, up in a way, tha shizzle of a menstrual n' deliberate form of dis process.

What tha fuck iz "forcing" or "tulpaforcing"?

An olda name fo' tha process busted lyrics bout by tha previous question: rappin', interactin with, n' bein actively aware of a tulpa up in order ta pimp n' sustain dem wild-ass muthafuckas. This term has fallen outta favour wit tha hood here yo, but continues ta be used across tha larger online hood ta describe tha interactionz of tulpa n' they hosts, n' you can put dat on yo' toast.

There is two general typez of forcing. "Actizzle forcing" refers ta a thugged-out dedicated span of time n' concentration set aside fo' you ta focus on yo' tulpa. "Passive forcing" raps bout tha process while preoccupied by routine work, struttin from place ta place, or some other task. Yo ass can be thinkin of it as chillin down ta git a cold-ass lil conversation wit one of mah thugs one-on-one, versus chattin wit dem while playin a game or fixin dinner.

What other weird language do you use?

If at any point you feel lost up in FAQUIZZY or tha hood's conversations, a phat startin point is our glossary.

So dis is magic, right?

Da bulk of tha hood sees dis be a entirely psychedelic technique which allows you ta create a separate consciousnizz within yo' mind. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat there be dem playas whoz ass view tulpas as occult up in origin. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.

How tha fuck can you prove tha existence of tulpas?

Tulpas is a highly subjectizzle phenomena like hypnotic trizzle or lucid trippin. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. We is lookin tha fuck into provin dem eventually via formal psychedelic n' neuroscience study yo, but dat is some way away. Yo crazy-ass dopest hope of provin it ta yo ass is ta try dat shit.

Isn't dis just tryin ta give yo ass schizophrenia/multiple personalitizzle disorder/dissociatizzle identitizzle disorder?

No. Those is disordaz dat is detrimenstrual ta everyday game yo. Havin a tulpa be a gangbangin' form of non-clinical pluralitizzle dat do not impede yo' mind or body.

Isn't dis just a advanced form of hallucination?

A hallucination involves perceivin suttin' up in tha physical ghetto, wit yo' physical senses, dat aint straight-up physically present. For example: seein sparkz of light when you stand up too quickly n' yo' blood heat chizzlez too doggystyle. Unless one practices tactile, auditory or visual imposition, all optionizzle advanced game, a tulpa aint physically perceived n' thus do not qualify as a hallucination any mo' than a host's own thoughts would.

Can I have mo' than one tulpa?

Yes, you can. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Well shiiiit, it is even possible ta make nuff muthafuckin at once, although tha challenges n' meritz of dis is disputed.

I gots a question dat aint answered by dis FAQUIZZY, what tha fuck do I do?

Feel free ta ask around. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Yo ass could cook up a post fo' yo' question if no muthafucka else has axed it, you can post up in tha stickied weekly intro thread, or you could hop on one of IRC channels linked up in tha sidebar.

Do I or Did I Have a Tulpa?

Yo ass KNOW I may have had a tulpa as a cold-ass lil child/teenager, how tha fuck is dat possible?

Tulpa may emerge up in youths n' acutely imaginatizzle people, or up in circumstances where tha mind is forced ta turn ta itself fo' attention n' stimulation, like fuckin a traumatic event, hood isolation, or intense boredom. Essentially, tha process of tulpa creation can occur naturally n' spontaneously provided dat you have tha appropriate circumstances n' disposition. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. These tulpas is sometimes known as "emergent", "accidental", "natural" or "walk-in" tulpas yo, but is considered tha same type of bein as dem busted lyrics bout above up in How tha fuck dis works.

See more: Is it possible ta accidentally cook up a tulpa?

Yo ass KNOW I already gotz a tulpa, how tha fuck can I confirm it?

Yo ass can try poppin' off ta them, peep if they answer n' shit. If tha answer do not feel like it be reppin you yo ass, it may well be a tulpa.

Ask tha entitizzle themself if they is a tulpa. Do they identify as havin they own distinct self, biatch? Havin a identitizzle of they own be a prerequisite fo' a tulpa.

Keep it realz in mind dat up in either case, whether you already gotz a tulpa or not, hustlin towardz makin yo' entitizzle a tulpa will mean dat you gonna git a tulpa up in tha end, regardless of where they initially fuckin started.

Can I brang mah oldschool tulpa back?

Yes, if you had a tulpa up in tha past, you can brang dem back if you focus on dem again.

There is all dem methodz fo' bustin so, one of da most thugged-out widely-used bein letter-writing. Write a letta up in yo' mindscape ta them, detailin why you'd like dem back, apologizin fo' fallin outta contact, n' explainin how tha fuck tha thang has chizzled, n' leave it someplace symbolic ta dem wild-ass muthafuckas.

Do not be shocked if yo' tulpa has chizzled up in some way when they return, so check it before ya wreck it. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Well shiiiit, it aint abnormal fo' a tulpa ta undergo some chizzlez afta dis kind of event.

Bout Tulpas

What can a tulpa do?

Da main benefit of a tulpa is first n' foremost companionship. Tulpa is often accredited wit superior memory recall, n' may remind you of tha thangs you easily forget. They've also been known ta wake they hosts up at pre-axed times n' big-ass up menstrual arithmetic independently of they creator. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat if that's all you seek ta cook up a tulpa for, you betta off buyin a smartphone or PDA. Even if yo ass is fine bout bustin a funky-ass bein just ta have dem help you wit homework, tulpas' game up in dis field can be hit or miss like any suckas n' nuff frontz of enhanced menstrual mobilitizzle done been thangal or unverified. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Mo' shiznit can be found up in tha guides section. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.

What limits a tulpa?

Tulpas is limited by their:

Stage of pimpment: lil' tulpas tend ta need mo' attention from they hosts up in order ta pimp, while olda tulpas have less need fo' all dis bullshit.

Creator's beliefs: if tha host believes they can enable n' restrict they tulpa up in various ways; fo' example if you don't believe yo' tulpa can fly, chizzle they wonderland or control tha body, dis will impair they mobilitizzle ta do so. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Subconscious beliefs also play tha fuck into all dis bullshit fo' realz. Again, as a tulpa grows olda n' relies less on they host's attention, they will often outgrow these beliefs. This goes doubly fo' tulpas whoz ass engage extensively up in they own experiences up in tha physical ghetto, up in tha same way teens grow tha fuck into they own adults once they leave home.

Their own beliefs: same as tha host, a tulpa's beliefs also shape theyselves n' they ghetto. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass.

Do tulpas mature over time?

Yes, they do. They aint static n' they will chizzle as time goes on. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Their initial growth from simple wack responses ta ordered speech, n' eventually tha fuck into full conversation, is straight-up fast when compared ta dat of a cold-ass lil child. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! They will eventually reach a level of maturitizzle whereupon they will pimp n' grow at a rate comparable ta dat of any other person, just like yo ass.

Can mah tulpa harm me son?

First of all: tulpas cannot act on tha physical ghetto on they own. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Tulpas also cannot take over yo' body without practice n' consent. Mo' blinginly, tulpas is as horny bout self-preservation as yo ass is, n' since they share both mind n' body wit you, they have lil ta no motivation ta harm you, biatch.

Other than that, lil' small-ass accidents may happen, like fuckin yo' tulpa distractin you all up in tha wack moment or causin a headache yo, but these events is most likely incidental misfortune rather than actual malevolence.

Will mah tulpa be a cold-ass lil carbon-copy of me up in personalitizzle n' opinion?

Yo crazy-ass tulpa is designed ta be they own being, n' not a cold-ass lil clone or copy of you, biatch. They may take wildly different or comfortingly similar stances n' beliefs ta yo ass.

That bein holla'd, there will often be at least some degree of similarity, as personalitizzle n' opinion is informed by experience, n' yo big-ass booty is ghon share nuff of tha same experiences wit yo' tulpa by virtue of inhabitin tha same body.

Can mah tulpa serve as a alarm clock?

Yes Yes Y'all yes y'all, n' No fo' realz. A tulpa operates on tha same internal clock as they host, which sometimes do not match up well wit tha actual time. It's worth notin dat you don't strictly need a tulpa ta condizzle yo ass ta do this, nor should you be reliant on one ta git you ta lectures or work on time.

So can mah tulpa help me wit (memory recall, school)?

It's certainly possible yo, but even if yo' tulpa is capable of helpin you, dat don't necessarily mean they will. Yo ass can't force dem ta act as yo' underground notepad n' calculator. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. If they wanna help you wit yo' homework, then pimped out yo, but if they don't, it's hardly unexpected. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! This type'a shiznit happens all tha time. If you don't like hustlin on math, why should they, biatch?

A tulpa, like you, can also only know what's already contained up in tha dome, although they interpretation n' application may be different ta yours fo' realz. A scientifically-minded tulpa will still only know tha science dat they actively study.

Can mah tulpa control mah body?

Over time, a tulpa can learn ta control yo' body just as yo' own mind do, n' you can share control or entirely switch places, leavin yo' tulpa up in control of yo' body n' yo ass as a passive observer, n' switch back as n' when you peep fit fo' realz. A tulpa cannot inherently do this, n' it's a process dat requires consent n' practice. Grantin partial control (often of a hand or limb) is colloquially known as 'possession', while allowin full control is generally known as 'switching'.

So is dis a replacement fo' havin playas?

Fuck dat shit, just cuz you gotz a tulpa it don't mean you goin ta not need any of yo' playaz or crew any mo' n' mo' n' mo'. Yo ass can still maintain yo' hood game (if you had one!) n' sometimes it might be within a tulpa's personalitizzle ta persuade you ta become mo' hood. It aint nuthin but tha nick nack patty wack, I still gots tha bigger sack fo' realz. As a rule, they're not goin ta hog all yo' attention.

What if mah tulpa knows dat they're a tulpa?

Yo crazy-ass tulpa will know what tha fuck they is cuz they have access ta yo' memories yo. How tha fuck they will feel bout dis is goin ta vary; most of tha time they don't care. Tryin ta conceal dis from dem be almost certainly futile n' needless.

Can mah tulpa cook up a tulpa?

Yes, they is perfectly capable of bustin such yo, but it's unlikely. It's a overt process resultin up in another tulpa generally on par wit tha straight-up original gangsta - tha freshly smoked up tulpa would be just as much a part of tha same existence as you n' yo' first tulpa, rather than a secondary existence.

I drop a rhyme mo' than one language fluently. Which should I drop a rhyme ta mah tulpa in?

Any is fine, although it may be sensible ta pick one n' stick ta it until they're vocal. It aint nuthin but tha nick nack patty wack, I still gots tha bigger sack fo' realz. A tulpa is capable of bustin lyrics any n' all tha languages you can.

Can I (grab, slap, hug, etc.) mah tulpa?

Yes, within reason. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Imaginin or enactin a given action against a tulpa, imposed or otherwise, will carry all tha meanin n' weight you associate wit dat action pimped up at dem wild-ass muthafuckas. In tha case of a imposed tulpa, tha actual feedback you feel will depend on how tha fuck pimped yo' sensory imposizzle is, as tactile hallucinations do not come as easily as visual ones.

Tulpa Creation Questions

How tha fuck long will it take ta cook up a tulpa?

For some time, ghettofab wisdom suggested estimatez of '100 hours' or 'just over three months'. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat recent pimpments suggest dis varies mad from individual ta individual, n' wit they preferred methodz some have had success up in a matta of weeks, while others struggle ta hear they tulpa afta months. Da long n' short of it is, don't worry bout how tha fuck long it'll take. Don't expect thangs up in dis biatch immediately yo, but don't dismiss early successes either.

How tha fuck often should I work on pimpin mah tulpa?

There is no fixed lyrics fo' all dis bullshit. Even if it's only 10 minutes a thugged-out day, you gonna be bustin betta than not bustin anythang at all. Yo crazy-ass tulpa will appreciate it when eva you can spend time on them, n' of course, they'll take as much as yo ass is willin ta give dem wild-ass muthafuckas.

Overall, regularitizzle seems ta matta mo' than anythang else. 30 minutes a thugged-out dizzle is superior ta five minutes once a week. Forcin at varied times up in addizzle ta scheduled times also seems ta work well, n' preps you fo' takin on tulpa pimpment as a part of yo' game rather than a isolated project.

How tha fuck do I permanently git rid of a tulpa, biatch? What happens if I do that?

Ignore dem n' deny dem attention until they entirely dissipate. This aint a pleasant experience fo' a tulpa n' if you have pimped dem fo' any length of time, it may well be wackly drainin on you like a muthafucka. Well shiiiit, it aint a quick or easy as fuck process - one dat becomes hella harder tha longer n' deeper you've hit dat shiznit at tulpa pimpment - n' it aint suttin' you should consider lightly. Yo ass should ideally never need ta do this, fo' tha sake of y'all n' yo' tulpa alike. If yo ass is worried bout bustin a tulpa n' is askin dis question fo' reassurance, you would be wise ta consider delayin creation until yo' doubts is assuaged. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka!

If you dissipate a tulpa by force, you gonna likely experience a sensation akin ta a unexpected absence up in yo' mind, n' tha feelin of suttin' "missing" tendz ta linger n' shit. There be also a phat possibilitizzle of feelin tha grief of losin one of mah thugs close ta you, biatch.

Do I need ta meditate?

Not up in tha old-ass sense. We is shizzle meditation would help wit makin yo' tulpa n' like concentration yo, but if it aint suttin' you can handle cuz you have a uncontrollable train of thought, then that's fine like a muthafucka. Well shiiiit, it generally do help dem playas whoz ass do it yo, but is straight-up optional.

What's tha dopest way ta cook up a tulpa?

There is no one dopest way, as every last muthafuckin dome is different. What may be tha dopest way fo' one of mah thugs may be da most thugged-out shitty way fo' you, biatch.

Experimentation is key. If you feel dat yo' progress is slow, try different guides n' steez, n' don't be afraid ta remix dem or come up wit yo' own!

How tha fuck do I give mah tulpa juice?

Tulpas is sustained by attention, n' juice be a cold-ass lil convenient metaphor fo' all dis bullshit. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. So, you can give yo' tulpa juice by interactin wit dem wild-ass muthafuckas.

It be also possible, all up in no shortage of work n' time on tha part of host n' tulpa alike, fo' a tulpa ta grow beyond dis need n' ta learn how tha fuck ta sustain theyselves. This is probably bigged up all up in a cold-ass lil combination of two avenues:

Trainin a tulpa ta pimp a mo' independent mindset, similar ta how tha fuck flesh-and-blood humans learn ta find they own identitizzle n' find confidence up in theyselves without tha validation of they peers. Like wit flesh-and-blood humans, it aint nuthin but a highly underground process dat requires a pimped out amount of experience n' time. Havin a tulpa learn possession n' switching, n' allowin dem ta spend dope amountz of time "at front." This aint only a matta of how tha fuck much time is spent yo, but how tha fuck tha time is spent. Quotin /u/ShinyuuWolfy, a tulpa whoz ass participates regularly up in physical game, a tulpa struttin menstrually actizzle exercises up in tha physical ghetto (like fuckin writing, painting, bustin math, etc) will train a funky-ass dome ta remember n' recognize dat tulpa as tightly as it will a host. In addition, "front time" feedz tha fuck into tha straight-up original gangsta avenue by allowin a tulpa time ta explore they own hobbies n' identitizzle up in ways tha wonderland might not.

Note dat independence should not be trippin wit ambizzle - there be tulpas whoz ass go all up in dis process n' then decizzle dat all they want is ta support they host. Just as there is no shame up in bein a homemaker instead of a cold-ass lil corporate executive, there is no shame up in choosin dis path over others.

How tha fuck much attention/energy/interaction do mah tulpa need?

Durin tha creation process you should aim ta interact wit yo' tulpa everyday, anywhere from all dem minutes up ta all dem hours, n' narratin ta dem as n' when you can.

Afta they're straight-up vocal n' active, tha bare minimum is just acknowledgin they existence yo, but bustin time poppin' off ta dem n' interactin wit dem is straight-up much tha deal wit brangin dem tha fuck into existence.

Just don't ignore them, n' you gonna both be fine.

If I gots a menstrual illness, can I cook up a tulpa?

As long as holla'd illnizz don't overtly impair yo' mobilitizzle ta concentrate, n' you don't suffer from intrusive thoughts dat drastically impair yo' everyday game, you should be fine. Of course, you know yo' mind betta than our phat asses do, so it's straight-up up ta you, biatch. Please consider yo' own game n' safety first, as while there be no known direct riskz of pimpin a tulpa, it can be a stressful process fo' some people.

But I do suffer from intrusive thoughts muthafucka! Should I not cook up a tulpa?

Everyone suffers from intrusive thoughts ta some extent. If they're not so shitty dat you need a psychotherapist or medication ta control them, then you should be fine fo' realz. Again, it's yo' mind - make tha dopest judgement call you can.

I'm (insert age here), should I cook up a tulpa?

Yo ass be able ta cook up a tulpa at any age yo, but you should, regardless of age, realize dat dis is goin ta be a hella, straight-up long commitment, n' should not be treated as a phase or a gangbangin' fascination you can just set aside. Our asses aint clownin when we say dis can be a gametime commitment - even if tha thought of dissipatin a tulpa don't balk you, stay a fuckin shitload of muthafuckin years tha fuck into tha process or delve too deeply tha fuck into tha advanced steez n' you might find it harder than you'd like ta undo tha chizzlez ta yo' dome. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.

A tulpa be also not a substitute fo' tha experiences you should bust up in tha game at any age. For a mo' complete answer, see dis response by metallica48423.

Is it possible ta accidentally cook up a tulpa?

Yes Yes Y'all yes y'all, - nuff playas join tha hood afta realizin they have had tulpas all they lives yo, but without knowin what tha fuck they was called. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! These "accidental" tulpas often arise from imaginary playaz n' writing/roleplay characters.

Further reading:

How tha fuck do I decizzle what tha fuck mah tulpa will look like?

Yo ass probably already have a scam of what tha fuck form you'd want a long-term menstrual companion ta have, which is fine yo, but you may be undecided. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! A tulpa can pimp they own preferred form over time, even if all you focus on is narration n' personalitizzle work ridin' solo.

Should I create a funky-ass base form fo' mah tulpa?

Many playas have a scam fo' a gangbangin' form up in mind when they first start ta create a tulpa, before they be thinkin of any sort of personality, n' that's fine. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat designin a personalitizzle round tha form is unnecessary.

When should I create a funky-ass base form fo' mah tulpa?

Form can be tha straight-up first thang you decizzle upon, or not settled upon until you locked n loaded ta begin imposition. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Obviously, it don't make sense ta impose a tulpa dat don't have a associated form.

Should I create a tulpa dat be lookin like me son?

It's not encouraged or recommended. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Da scam behind a tulpa is ta create a separate personalitizzle n' consciousness, n' bustin suttin' you visually self-identify wit aint goin ta help dat process.

Afta mah tulpa's form is stable, can I chizzle it?

By stable, we assumin you mean yo' tulpa is sentient.

A sentient tulpa can have one or mo' forms if they so wish, n' is up in control of it theyselves; tha form is representatizzle of dem wild-ass muthafuckas.

In tha end, tha answer is fo'sho, you can try ta chizzle yo' tulpa's form afta dis point yo, but it is ghon be up ta dem ta accept tha chizzle. Try ta chizzle it forcibly, n' on top of dem gettin annoyed wit you, it might not even stick. Da dopest way ta approach dis is ta straight-up rap ta yo' tulpa bout changin they form, n' it is up ta dem ta accept it or not.

Is it aiiight fo' mah tulpa ta shift form?

Yes, some tulpas will spontaneously shape-shift between forms as they vibe n' circumstances permit. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Some is mo' static, some only shift between a handful of forms, while others is straight-up dynamic - it's a matta of personalitizzle n' preference.

Is it OK ta base a tulpa off a existin character?

Yes, wit caveats, n' you can put dat on yo' toast. Yo crazy-ass tulpa may have tha pre-existin character's form yo, but they aint tha actual character n' shit. Tulpa tend ta deviate up in form n' personalitizzle from yo' initial justification, n' dis may lead ta vibe of disappointment or rejection, which aint phat fo' either of you, biatch. Ideally, it is betta ta draw inspiration, not ta copy wholesale, n' ta KNOW dat personalitizzle aint form n' vice-versa. Yo ass should be aware dat they may pimp n' chizzle over time, n' like unexpectedly so.

Can I take a existin roleplay character/imaginary playa n' make dem tha fuck into a tulpa?

Yes, although as wit all tulpas based on existin characters, you should be aware dat they may pimp n' chizzle over time, like unexpectedly so.

How tha fuck do I narrate/talk ta mah tulpa?

Narration be any kind of conversation or dialogue wit yo' tulpa, ideally performed while imaginin they form or simply thankin bout dem wild-ass muthafuckas. This can be done purely up in yo' mind, subvocalized under yo' breath, or spoken aloud when convenient. Yo ass can do it all up in tha day, simply by spittin some lyrics ta dem what's goin on or what tha fuck you thankin bout while bearin dem up in mind. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Tellin stories be a cold-ass lil convenient way - readin a funky-ass book or a cold-ass lil comic consciously ta yo' tulpa, as though readin ta another thug up in tha physical ghetto, may help you come ta grips wit narration.

This feels like I'm just poppin' off ta mah dirty ass n' makin up lyrics. Why?

Consciously decidin lyrics n' thankin dem up in response is known as 'parroting', effectively puttin lyrics up in yo' tulpa's grill. While it's suttin' ta stay tha fuck away from when yo' tulpa is sentient, it can be a mad useful creation tool - afta all, tulpas pimped accidentally from fiction freestylin was essentially parroted tha fuck into existence.

Even if you not parroting, feelin like tha responses is made-up aint a problem. These is either early, simplistic responses from a immature tulpa, or yo' subconscious lyrics - n' dem can be taken on by tha pimpin tulpa, primin they vocabulary n' personalitizzle fo' realz. And up in tha straight-up beginning, you essentially are poppin' off ta yo ass - over time, dat poppin' off n' other forcin you do conditions yo' dome ta create a separate entitizzle from you, biatch fo' realz. Again, provided you bearin yo' tulpa up in mind n' genuinely tryin ta converse wit them, don't sweat dat shit. When you git a mo' surprisin response, a response dat comes without any input on yo' part, you gonna know it's straight-up dem wild-ass muthafuckas.

Is it shitty ta fall asleep while hustlin on tha tulpa?

It's no mo' harmful ta fall asleep while hustlin on a tulpa than it is ta fall asleep mid-conversation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Well shiiiit, it might be buggin n' it certainly interrupts tha process of pimpment yo, but insofar as tha hood at big-ass can tell there is no actual pimpmenstrual risk.

Do I name mah tulpa?

Yo ass can give dem a name yo, but bear up in mind tha possibilitizzle dat they may chizzle dat shit. Yo ass can leave dem nameless, n' then when they is sentient have dem name theyselves.

Is it aiiight ta force while (high, faded)?

It don't particularly hurt, as long as you feel it's productive. If you a gangbangin' frequent drinker or smoker it certainly won't hurt ta acquaint yo' tulpa wit yo ass up in such a state.

Can I dig noize while I force?

It's not strictly necessary yo, but it can help. When you pimpin yo' tulpa you gonna typically want a chillaxin environment, so feel free ta pick a cold-ass lil laid back position, phat beatz, soothang light level, whatever works dopest fo' you, biatch.

Is it aiiight ta give mah tulpa wack traits?

Yo ass shouldn't straight-up be thinkin bout traits as positizzle or negative. Yo ass should be thinkin bout dem as what tha fuck they are, not they moral connotations. If you wanna give yo' tulpa a trait, or a trait emerges naturally, then go fo' dat shiznit son! Traits is just aspectz of personality, n' whether they're phat or shitty will depend on context n' application. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. So if you want a cold-ass lil clingy tulpa, a aggressive tulpa, a sarcastic tulpa, whatever, that's straight-up fine provided dat both you n' they KNOW dat they is responsible fo' they behavior. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. Well shiiiit, it is fine ta have certain personalitizzle traits, it aint fine ta use dem traits as a excuse fo' shitty behavior, n' dat goes fo' tulpas as well as physical people.

Can I make mah tulpa vocal first n' then start on form?

Of course biaaatch! And no, dis aint gonna result up in tha tulpa not wantin a funky-ass body lata or anythang like dis shit. It's just easier fo' some playas ta work wit they tulpa on tha body, if they have no clue bout it or is havin shit. One would do dis by simply hustlin first on personalitizzle n' narration, n' then poppin' off ta yo' tulpa bout choosin a gangbangin' form.

Can I pimp multiple aspectz of mah tulpa simultaneously?

Yo ass certainly can, n' you may find it beneficial ta do so up in some circumstances. Generally it make sense ta crew various pimpments - form n' personalitizzle is often done together (although you should remember they're not dependent on one another), n' sensory imposizzle is often done across multiple senses all up in tha same time. Tryin ta work on a fuckin shitload of thangs at once however will only make it harder ta concentrate.

Can I create a tulpa that's up in charge of they own personality/creation?

By purely narratin ta yo' tulpa without definin they personalitizzle or assumin a gangbangin' form fo' them, you can still pimp a tulpa whose traits n' eventually form will emerge on they own. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Yo ass still need ta give nuff time n' dedication ta tha narration process, n' work on thangs like sensory imposizzle yo, but it's definitely possible. It's worth notin dat dis aint a lazy way out, it requires just as much effort n' concentration as guidin yo' tulpa's pimpment personally.

What tha fuck iz deviation, n' how tha fuck do it work?

Yo crazy-ass initial plans or scams fo' a tulpa may be altered by influences both within n' outside, n' once yo' tulpa has clear independence they may chizzle theyselves further n' shit. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Some tulpa end up almost exactly as initially designed, while others end up changin beyond recognizzle as a result of these collectizzle alterations. In addition, a mature, pimped tulpa will continue ta chizzle over time accordin ta what tha fuck they experience n' encounter, just like any other person. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.

Do puttin too much detail tha fuck into mah tulpa stifle deviation?

No. Whether you vague or not, deviation is probably goin ta happen. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Yo ass can spend minutes on something, n' it still might chizzle. This don't mean yo' time is wasted, though.

Do mah tulpa gotta be human?

No. If you can imagine tha form, yo' tulpa can take dat form. Monsters, muthafuckas n' half-human charactas is commonplace. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Some playas have tulpas dat have tha form of inanimate objects muthafucka! Not exactly bangin yo, but that's what tha fuck stuck fo' dem wild-ass muthafuckas.

Can I cook up a tulpa of one of mah thugs?

Can yo slick ass, biatch? Yes yes y'all. Is it recommended, biatch? Not if yo' intent is ta git a cold-ass lil copy of tha thug ta be playaz with. It's tha same ol' dirty principle as bustin a tulpa afta a gangbangin' fictionizzle character n' shit. Especially do not create tulpas as a way of holdin onto loved ones afta they dirtnaps.

Borrowin a gangbangin' form or drawin inspiration from personalitizzle is fine yo, but we would highly recommend never brangin dis up ta tha individual you drew inspiration from.

Tulpa Troubleshooting

I'm not gettin any alien feeling, is I bustin suttin' wrong?

Fuck dat shit, you not bustin anythang wrong. There is nuff kindz of feedback a tulpa can give - wack responses, 'head pressure', headaches, 'mindvoice' - n' not all of dem will intrinsically feel alien, distant, or as though they came from outside yo' own mind, n' some playas never git suttin' they can define so easily until they tulpa is clearly independent. Don't sweat dat shit.

I'm gettin headaches, pressure, sore eyes n' shiznit durin creation, is dat bad?

It's straight-up like aiiight ta git headaches n' tha like. Don't worry bout it, it's a aiiight part of creation n' will phase up by tha time yo' tulpa is straight-up imposed on yo' environment. If you not gettin any of tha aforementioned, that's fine like a muthafucka.

It's hard brangin mah tulpa's grill tha fuck into focus, why?

Faces is tha part of tha body which is most dynamic n' which we identify wit most. Of course it's goin ta be hard ta visualize them; few have a easy as fuck time wit tulpa faces. In time it will come together when you don't gotta force tha visualization.

I'm havin shiznit visualizing, what tha fuck do I do?

Dope visualization aint strictly necessary up-front fo' bustin a tulpa, n' it'll git betta over time as you practice it, thus pimpin along wit yo' tulpa. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat if yo ass is havin shiznit then there be guides available on dis joint n' tha wider internizzle dat may be useful (see tha visualization guides fo' more).

I aint felt mah tulpa up in 'x' hours/days, what tha fuck did I do wrong?

Nothing. It's not unusual fo' a tulpa ta retreat back fo' a lil while. This happens when they is growing, n' is often followed by much growth. It's happened ta some playas dat they tulpa have left fo' almost a week, n' when they return become vocal up in a straight-up short amount of time. Even if you can't feel them, continue forcin n' interactin wit dem as you normally would.

(Somethang weird) happened, what tha fuck do it mean, biatch? Is dis normal?

When you dealin wit a almost entirely menstrual process, deeply interconnected wit imagination, expect tha unexpected. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! This type'a shiznit happens all tha time. It's probably normal yo, but we can't rap whether it is or not - it's yo' mind. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! How tha fuck aiiight do it feel, biatch? Is it just a lil unusual, or do you wanna run fo' tha hills as a result of it, biatch? Take yo' time, take a thugged-out deep breath, n' try poppin' off ta yo' tulpa n' askin why or how tha fuck they're bustin what tha fuck they're bustin. It's also possible dat yo' tulpa, like nuff people, don't know tha minutiae of why a funky-ass dome do what tha fuck it do, up in which case stick ta tha standard recourse - if it aint causin thangs beyond one-off mad drama, shrug n' move on. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.

Overall, also remember dat askin playas whoz ass aren't privy ta tha inside of yo' mind ta explain these thangs probably won't yield you lyrics beyond aimless speculation. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.

I be a gangsta yo, but y'all knew dat n' mah tulpa is pimpin incredibly quickly, is dat aiiight?

Tulpas whoz ass pimp quickly may seem unreal or artificial up in how tha fuck quickly they pick up vocalisation n' responsivenizz yo, but probably dis just indicates you gotz a predisposizzle towardz tulpa creation, whether it's a phat imagination, well-developed internal narration, or just natural capability. Carry on as you were, n' try not ta worry bout tha time you put in. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.

Is mah tulpa already sentient?

We can't answer dis question fo' you, biatch. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat keep up in mind dat pimpin tulpas is heavily hyped up by beliefs n' expectations. If yo ass is poppin' off ta dem up in a thugged-out everyday basis n' helpin dem grow, yo' belief dat they is sentient n' expectation dat they will respond will carry dem along, n' eventually propel dem ta sentience if they aint already sentient.

Dizzle ta Dizzle Life With a Tulpa

How tha fuck do I make mah tulpa be on tha down-low or leave me ridin' solo fo' some time?

Yo ass can simply ask yo' tulpa ta do so! If you busy wit school, work or need some time fo' yo ass alone, yo' tulpa can step back fo' dis shit.

Remember dat tulpas have lil ta no motivation ta be a nuisizzle n' they know how tha fuck yo ass is feeling, therefore you don't need ta force dem ta do dis cuz they KNOW tha needz of tha moment.

Can I make shit fo' mah tulpa, biatch? How tha fuck long will these shit last?

Yo ass can 'force' shit fo' yo' tulpa. This is simply a matta of thankin of tha appropriate object, givin it form n' thankin of how tha fuck it behaves. Da time it takes will vary wit tha object, its complexity, n' yo' concentration n' familiaritizzle wit tha given item. If yo' tulpa is straight-up imposed tha fuck into yo' vision, tha item can likewise be imposed, although it may lack tangibilitizzle n' 'weight' ta you, biatch. They tend ta last only as long as you n' yo' tulpa is interactin wit n' payin attention ta dem yo, but may last longer (see wonderlandz n' mindscapes). Tulpa theyselves can produce shit n' objects, provided they have sufficient experiences n' memories ta draw upon.

Should I rap ta mah tulpa up bangin or up in mah head?

Yo ass can rap ta yo' tulpa up in yo' head, or you can rap ta yo' tulpa up loud, obviously up in mo' private quartas or wherever you deem laid back - n' wit a headset or phone, you could reasonably rap ta dem anywhere without attractin weird looks. Yo crazy-ass tulpa may rap ta you directly up in yo' mind, or aloud via auditory hallucination.

What if mah tulpa sees mah memories or fantasies n' don't like me son?

Yo crazy-ass tulpa is likely goin ta be fine wit dat shit. Even if they judge dem partz of you, they'll also know bout tha other, betta partz of you; mah playas has dem partz of theyselves, n' often we is harder on ourselves than others is on us. They may disapprove of suttin' you've done or thought of up in tha past yo, but they aint goin ta don't give a fuck bout you over dat shit.

Will mah tulpa freak up if I mastabizzle/bust a nut?

It entirely comes down ta tha personalitizzle of tha tulpa up in question. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Many seem entirely unperturbed by tha horny-ass activitizzle of they hosts yo, but they may possibly comment on yo' action or be seemingly disrespectful of yo' privacy. We can't comment on horny-ass activitizzle pimped up at yo' tulpa, so figure it up yo ass as two peeps up in one body.

What bout rockin tha bathroom n' other embarrassin scenarios, biatch? Will mah tulpa watch?

As two peeps pluggin tha same body, dis is suttin' you simply goin ta gotta git used to. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat just cuz they're able ta don't mean they is ghon be intently watchin or deliberately payin attention ta such routine behaviour - most simply aint interested. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! This type'a shiznit happens all tha time fo' realz. As wit any other matter, simply askin dem ta respect yo' privacy goes a gangbangin' fair way yo, but it's also phat ta acknowledge tha fact dat they're up in tha same body as you n' likely just as familiar wit it regardless.

What do a tulpa do while you chillin?

Because tha dome never straight-up shuts down, tulpas continue ta exist n' be there, so peek-a-boo, clear tha way, I be comin' thru fo'sho. What they do, however, is up ta tha personalitizzle of tha tulpa up in question. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Right back up in yo muthafuckin ass. Some is known ta interact wit dreams, while others may work wit memoriez of tha last environment you was up in before you slept, n' others will wander off tha fuck into whatever menstrual environment you've pimped fo' n' wit dem (see Wonderlands, below).

Do tulpas chill?

Yo, some tulpas will chill all up in tha same time as they creators, others as n' when they please, n' others do not seem ta chill at all.

Tulpas n' Ghetto Life

Has you done holla'd at yo' playas/family/co-workers bout yo' tulpa?

Yo, a shitload of our asses have, nuff haven't. It's straight-up a underground chizzle.

Will mah tulpa git jealous?

Yo crazy-ass tulpa functions wackly like any physical person. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. They won't monopolize yo' time nor don't give a fuck bout you fo' interactin wit others any mo' than any other playa of yours would yo, but they can n' will become lonely if they is ignored, repeatedly left alone, or passed up fo' other company. Give dem time as n' when you can, n' it'll likely never be a problem.

Can I gots a horny-ass relationshizzle wit mah tulpa?

It's certainly possible. Provided tha relationshizzle is healthy as a relationshizzle between any other two dudes, n' it do not monopolise yo' time n' interfere wit yo' hood game wit others, a horny-ass relationshizzle wit a tulpa can be perfectly workable. This often leadz ta further thangs bout open relationshizzles, jealousy n' straight kickin it while havin a tulpa, a shitload of which dis FAQUIZZY already lyrics yo, but largely come down ta you n' yo' tulpa's preferences n' agreements.

On Mindscapes/Wonderlands

What tha fuck iz a mindscape/wonderland?

A mindscape, also known popularly as a wonderland, be a menstrual environment pimped up in tha host's mind where tha host n' tulpa can interact visually wit eachother, without tha need fo' tha host ta impose they tulpa tha fuck into they physical environment fo' realz. A wonderland can be revisited time n' time again, although it may chizzle under yo' own will, yo' tulpa's will, or subconsciously.

What tha fuck iz tha difference between mindscape/wonderland n' any other imagined environment?

An imagined environment be any given temporary menstrual scene or scenario, like fuckin dem experienced when day-dreamin fo' realz. A wonderland or mindscape be a mo' permanent, albeit dynamic, environment dat persists even when you aint consciously thankin of it, dat you or yo' tulpa can return ta repeatedly.

Can mah tulpa chizzle tha mindscape/wonderland as well?

Yes, tulpa is able ta edit n' alta wonderlandz n' tha entitizzles within them, although tha degree ta which they is able ta do so varies wit they pimpment n' will, n' yo' influence up in regardz ta both dem n' tha wonderland. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Yo crazy-ass tulpa may even chizzle yo' wonderland while yo ass aint consciously aware of dat shit.

What do it mean ta 'explore' a wonderland?

A mindscape/wonderland can be imagined up in such a way dat big-ass areaz of it is undefined or lack clarity. Travelin within tha environment outside of areas you've consciously defined can lead ta a subconscious, dreamlike generation of environments n' landscapes. This has been known ta provide bangin-ass n' bangin activitizzles fo' tulpa n' they creators alike - it is like literally lettin yo' mind wander.

Miscellaneous Questions

Why is you rockin terms from tha DID hood (e.g. system, headmate, switching)?

They aint DID-exclusive terms yo, but rather terms used by tha general pluralitizzle hood as common ground. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! Da notion dat they is exclusive ta DID be a recent misconception, as explained by LB (a DID system) here n' here.

In addition, tulpa pimpers did not begin rockin tha terms cuz they saw dem used by DID systems. Boy it's gettin hot, yes indeed it is. Da terms "system", "headmate", n' "fronting" first fuckin started bein used up in tha tulpa hood up in early 2015, afta thugz became aware of n' fuckin started hittin' up tha general pluralitizzle hood, which accepted tulpas as a valid form of plurality. In other lyrics, tha tulpa hood hustled dem terms from spaces dat was composed of primarily non-DID plurals. "Switching" was coined even earlier, wit playas unaware dat tha term was also used by other plurals.

An example of a DID-exclusive term would be "alter", which is not used by tulpa creators. Tulpa pimpers do not claim ta have any form of DID/OSDD, n' recognize what tha fuck they do as suttin' straight-up different from DID/OSDD.

What's tha difference between a alta n' a tulpa?

"Alter" refers ta thugz of DID/OSDD/traumagenic systems, whoz ass form as a result of trauma fo' realz. A tulpa be a experience of pluralitizzle different from DID/OSDD, n' tulpas is generally not caused by trauma yo, but instead is consciously pimped. Y'all KNOW dat shit, muthafucka! This type'a shiznit happens all tha time.

In termz of personhood, a alta aint "less" than a tulpa, nor be a tulpa "less" than a alter n' shit. While there do exist altas whoz ass is fragmentary up in nature, whoz ass consider theyselves partz of a whole, dis do not mean dat all altas is "just fragments" or consider theyselves parts--many is they own thug as much as any host is. Treat any alta you encounter--including dem playas whoz ass is fragmentary and/or consider theyselves parts--with tha same decency n' respect as you would any tulpa, host, or other individual.

In termz of ability, tha difference between tulpas n' altas varies from system ta system. In some, there be differences like fuckin altas bein able ta switch easier n' not bein able ta impose, while tulpas can easily impose but have mo' hang-up switching; up in others, tha differences up in mobilitizzle is mo' subtle; up in others, there is no difference up in mobilitizzle at all. (Yes, dis means dat one can have both tulpas n' alters!)

Da most common difference be a gangbangin' finger-lickin' direct result of origin. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz. Altas tend ta suffer post-traumatic symptoms related ta tha trauma dat pimped dem wild-ass muthafuckas. Tulpas tend not ta carry such baggage. Even dis aint a absolute rule, however n' shiznit fo' realz. Altas is also capable of recoverin from or reducin they post-traumatic symptoms, while tulpas is also capable of bein traumatized by events--just like any other traumatized thug or non-traumatized person. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.

Yo, some dudes have attempted ta say "altas is bad, tulpas is good." This be a misconception on multiple levels:

Altas is NOT inherently violent, dangerous, or incapable of reason, no mo' than any other abuse survivor is. This be a misconception perpetuated by Hollywood's overuse of tha "serial killa multiple" trope n' various criminals attemptin ta fake DID ta git outta punishment. Many altas is anxious bout stigma n' go outta they way ta hide they multiplicity--unless they holla'd at you, you wouldn't realize they was any different from a aiiight person. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.

In addition, altas do not need ta "go away" up in order fo' a system ta be healthy. While there be DID/OSDD/traumagenic systems whoz ass find bein multiple distressin n' opt fo' integration, there be nuff whoz ass establish internal communication n' cooperation, n' find they multiplicitizzle a positizzle experience wit tha only pathologizzle bein tha baggage left over from trauma.

What on some headmate n' a tulpa?

"Headmate" be a general term referrin ta any individual one shares a head with, be they alter, tulpa, host, etc. It's not specific ta any one particular type of plurality.

In other lyrics, all tulpas can be called headmates yo, but not all headmates is tulpas.

Although tha term is straight fuckin associated wit tumblr cuz of tha prevalence of playas there whoz ass use it, dat shiznit was not coined there, nor is it exclusive ta tumblr. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. Like non-clinical multiplicitizzle itself, dat shiznit was suttin' dat existed up in tha broader plural hood long before tumblr. Shiiit, dis aint no joke.

Is dis a freshly smoked up phenomena?

Fuck dat shit, it's a practice dat goes back up in recorded history at least as far as tha Greek philosophers. Da present name of tha phenomenon is derived from tha word used by Tibetan monks up in tha early 20th century. There be a also evidence ta suggest dedicated prayer can lead ta tha pimpment of 'religious tulpas' up in tha mindz of tha particularly devout, n' on tha secular end, freestylin steez similar ta tulpa pimpment steez can n' have resulted up in writas bustin accidental tulpas from they charactas yo. Havin a tulpa aint a god damn thang new, although it's gone by nuff names all up in tha course of history n' do so even todizzle. It make me wanna hollar playa! But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat we believe we is one of tha straight-up original gangsta crews ta address dis practice as a psychedelic phenomena rather than a magical, occult or divine experience.

Where do tha word "tulpa" come from?

Yo, stories is varied yo, but as far as we can tell, it's a Westside derivation of a Tibetan term meanin "to build" or "to construct".

Is dis practice culturally appropriative?

Cultural appropriation be a messy field, n' mah playas you ask will give a gangbangin' finger-lickin' different answer n' shit. This should provide a overview:

What dis hood practices n' what tha fuck was n' is practiced by Tibetan Buddhizzle is straight-up different up in nuff ways--in beliefs bout what tha fuck a tulpa is, up in reasons fo' bustin a tulpa, up in methods, n' so forth. We acknowledge dat tha practices aint related beyond tha name n' tha initial inspiration fo' dis hood fo' realz. Every Muthafucka whoz ass drops some lyrics ta you dat dis is tha same ol' dirty practice is straight-up mistaken at best.

That bein holla'd, dis hood did begin cuz of playas takin aspectz of a practice meant only fo' devoteez of a religion dope ta a mo' n' mo' n' mo' marginalized culture outta context, n' nuff within tha hood is unaiiight wit all dis bullshit.

As fo' whether tulpa creation be appropriatizzle of DID or multiplicitizzle up in general: multiplicitizzle be a state of bein found up in nuff cultures n' contexts, dat no one crew has absolute claim to. In other lyrics, multiplicitizzle aint suttin' dat can be "culturally copyrighted". Tulpa pimpment is thus not appropriatizzle of multiplicitizzle yo, but another variation on tha experience of bein multiple, which up in itself be a variation on bein human. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch fo' realz. And though tulpa systems is multiple, we do not claim ta have DID n' recognize dat it be a experience straight-up different from our own. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch.

So what tha fuck is tha history of tulpa creation n' pimpment?

There be a a pimpin' thorough write-up over here.

Most of tha FAQUIZZY was a cold-ass lil collaboration between Tulpa.info n' /r/Tulpas, freestyled by /u/BobisOnlyBob rockin FAQUIZZYman's original gangsta Tulpa FAQUIZZY as a template, wit assistizzle from Purlox, Albatross n' /u/Kronkleberry. Dat shiznit was lata revamped wit tha help of /u/metenamina n' /u/t7cb952c9c050, wit /u/Falunel providin additionizzle shiznit w.r.t. other formz of plurality.
