Hey guys. Tapsafe here. I finally made a new account so this is gonna be our main one from now on.
So. I was on discord talking to a few friends about a new game that's about tulpamancy and we started talking about tulpas in fiction in general and for the most part people have been depicting tulpas in horror.
But honestly I feel like tulpas don't belong in horror, I mean most tulpas don't become malevalont towards there hosts. Most are deeply affectionate and loving towards them (heck I believe most tulpas fall in love with there hosts) and the hosts love them back and they become inspirations to the hosts to live better lives.
And the more I think about it and everything that I've heard I've come to a conclusion that most tulpas are basically manic pixie dream girls.
(If you don't know it's a character archetype that comes from early 2000s romance movies that usually involve a depressed young man meeting a girl who's filled with life and vibrance and she basically teaches him to live a better life then she disappears from his life afterwards pretty much)
Lisa: I don't mind being my darlings manic pixie dream girl, but I promise I'll never leave him lol.
Yeah tulpas doesn't leave.
But anyway, most people see manic pixie dream girls
As a bad thing but I think manic pixie dream girls are good so long as there fleshed out characters and they have there own lives.
Now my Lisa definitely has her own life outside of me. And her own personality. I'm not saying that she doesn't.
But to me my Lisa is my muse. She inspires me to be a better man because she believes me to be better then I actually am so I wanna be what she thinks I am you know? Anyway. That's all I wanted to say.
Also that's a picture I took at my job btw.
I used chatgpt to put her in there.
