Create people in your imagination. Play with yourself. There you go.

Play solitaire.

Or play online games. When you stop wanting to play with people you can just log off.

Develop some sort of multiple personality disorder so you are never without friends.

Or go full autist and just sit on piles and piles of games and never play them.

>>23098241
dude. Just find friends. Not everyone is retarded you arogant fuck. If you go to YFLGS not every one is dumb.

You need to find better persons to play with. People suck, that's universal, but when you separate them from the group and get to know the better individual Persons, some of them are downright tolerable.

I once played a campaign using a technique known as character splitting. It's a thought process authors use I write for a living, and employe it myself in which you take a portion of your mind and section it off. You then allow it to act independently, having thoughts parallel to yours. At first it takes concentration and you most likely will only be able to do one without getting the thoughts of you and it muddled and returning to a singular state.

The thoughts themselves don't have to be different, but they must be thought in different ways. It will take a few weeks to get to a state where concentration is not longer required to keep one going, and you can do it as a background thing while performing other tasks. At this point I am able to maintain seven at once while writing.

The campaign I spoke of consisted of me as GM, and four sectioned off "people" as the players. It was very fun.

Also, attempt to avoid inducing schizophrenia.

Play roguelikes.

>>23098279
>If you go to YFLGS not every one is dumb.
That's the biggest load of bullshit I've ever read on /tg/.

>>23098479

Not really a friendly local game store if everyone's an asshole. It's just a LGS.

I've always wanted to get into table top gaming, but I don't know any people to play with.

>>23098479
I call double bullshit.

We must now decide this with a duel, and because I am the challenger you must choose the weapon.

Sounds like you want escapism, but not social activities.

Tell me about your mother.

I've played with several groups.

I've had one where the group are acting like kids not wanting their action-figures to get harmed while the GM explains how everything explodes in fire and is so awesome it's incomprehensible.

Others where there is just no mood or exitement, where it feels like everyone just wants to go home and stop playing.

I'm in one now playing Pathfinder, and everyone in the group besides the DM acts like they're playing characters from some hack n' slash comic strip. Shallow and merry no matter what. It's like they're hardly even characters at all, and the players are loud and unfocused.

Not to mention they don't have a single clue of what the fuck they're doing, cause reading the few basic parts of the core rulebook is too much for them.

>>23098522
She's dead, I never knew her.

Also fuck you.

>>23098469
That is literally tulpa creation. It's induced schizophrenic hallucinations/delusions. While it's very effective, make sure you keep a damn good grasp on reality. I worry for your mental health. I often do the same thing with new characters in my stories. I'll fast-forward from their introduction to some pivotal moment with previously introduced characters, as well as to-be-introduced characters, and act out scenes in my head. I switch around my thought process as appropriate for each character, as they speak or do something.

Then I realize it's been forty-five minutes since I started, and I'm still sitting on the toilet, my ass going numb.

>>23098542
I'm a horrible person for laughing, and I'm sorry. I've been here too long.

>>23098579
It's okay, like I said, I never knew her.

>>23098551
Don't worry, after a while you don't have to turn them off anymore. It's not like they can get control of my actual body probably, there have been a few incidents, but they just make good stories.

Make my mind a labyrinth, trap them inside then go after them when needed. It's gotten a bit odd lately and the internal structure has been defined into something far more complex and overall complicated than I would have thought, but that's not bad. Also the interactions are a bit odd as of late. When I began it was merely voices and stuff, but sometimes in my minds eye it feels like I really am somewhere inside my own brain. Like it is a dream, but as real as real life. I can meet the people in my head. I don't know... it's odd.Seriously though, don't worry.

>>23098619

My... uh... friend is curious.

>>23098730
This.

Entirely creepy....but, I want to hear more. maybe it's my inner /x/ talking but I've always found the idea of multiple characters interacting with each other through one body as interesting.

>>23098777
Are you willing to step into the jaws of madness to see your waifu? Even is doing so risks her rejection.

>>23098711
Attentionwhore.

>>23098804
Y-yes.

>>23098826
Then just do what the guy says, you'll be insane, but you'll find your waifu.

I'll answer questions if you want. What do you want to know?

>>23098814
Not trying to be. I apologize if I offend.

>>23098856

I'm pretty sure I already do this... though I do it with the perspectives of gods Which one could say I have or have not "made-up"

>>23098856
I demand story time you crazy fucker.

>>23098856
I'm horrible at asking questions so I suppose some stories would be nice if that's not to much to ask bro

>>23098950
>>23098966
Well, stories are a tad personal. These are all reflections of myself in my own mind. Even the portions of the events that have proceeded into odd happenings...

The thing is I can find people in my mind, people I have created from scratch than now have life of their own. I may or may not have feelings for some of them and fear the day I must turn them off for good. The times I have let someone else hold the reigns to my body have been terrifying, knowing the feeling they have of simply being another marble in the pile. I don't know if they can turn me off, or if only I have the power. I don't know what it feels like to be turned off, and most of them are reluctant to tell me, and those who do have unlatching stories.

My mind has become a weird place lately, but at least life isn't boring.

>>23098241
>>23098542
Well OP if both of these are you I'd suggest sacking up and not being a limp wristed over sensitive douche about things.

>>23099015
I would legitimately watch a show about this. It sounds fucking interesting.

>>23099015
>>23099037
The idea here Anon, is one of two concepts.

One is just the ability to roleplay as well you can do it with yourself, and thus run simulation conversations through your head. Nothing /x/, magical, or neat about it. Its just called being a good actor and knowing what people would "do" in a situation, so you can just think a conversation between two fictional people in your head.

THEN, theres what this faggot is talking about, which is trying to shatter your mind into schizophrenia for fun and profit.
>Trust me, I know. I come from /mlp/ and the more sick people from there have been trying to use these mystical irrational techniques for months trying to create pony waifus.
>You can vomit now.

>>23099082
Yes, but none of them succeeded now did they?

It seems /tg/ once again proves it's superiority by producing the first man who can create his own waifus. Truly a visionary.

>>23099112
>Yes, but none of them succeeded now did they?
Have you even been on 4chan, much less the internet for the past few years? Of course they succeeded (or at least post elaborate stories about how they succeeded) and stories of it has seeped into every nook and cranny of the internet by now

>>23099112
I can't vouch, and personally think its impossible, but one person claimed it worked.
>Except his Pinkie Pie waifu went crazy and started screaming, non-stop, for hours and hours, and he couldn't figure out how to make it stop.

>>23099129
Oh, never mind then. This is the first time I've heard of it actually. Though how bad can it be, the guy seems stable enough now doesn't he?

>>23099151

I said stable, not sane. I'll give it a look though.

Still would watch a show about a guy who did this though. It would make a good series.

>>23099201
Its called Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends

>>23099136
So people will truly march into the jaws of madness to find their waifus. Humans really are fickle things.

>>23099214
I meant one not meant for children, but ok.

Ok guy, I'm the the guy who has done this. It's not as bad as everyone makes it out to be. It's basically like sharing the space with a few other individuals. As long as you maintain a really strong sense of self and assert your dominance over your own mind nothing bad will happen. Also only let someone take over the reigns in the most extreme of circumstances.

My mind is not shattered, merely cracked, and through the cracks I can find things others can not.

I've been doing this for a long time. Besides, nothing ventured nothing gained. Risking madness for the sake of my art is something I am willing to do. If my mind is cracked, or even broken, as long as my work does not suffer it does not matter.

What are people anyway? What defines an individual as a rightfully inhabitant of our world? Who begets my emotions, feelings, and memories as more important than those who I have created. Just because they did not originally exist makes them any less real? If I so choose they can control the body, then can be 'real'. They now have just as much right to exist as I do, they are beings of thought and consciousness. I would not being doing my duty as the one who as made them if I simply destroyed them. A voice among the many must merely shout loudest.

You are either completey insane, or so far in-character as a BBEG you can smell Orcus's ass from here.

I think we as the human race can simply state as a body, that your other "personalities" are not true other intellects, but instead merely mad deviations of your own mind. They aren't autonomous yugioh-style second minds, they are you. Being crazy. With yourself. For AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART?

>>23099279
Thought, one only needs thought. The human mind is more powerful than any drug. You can do it, each of us can, the power is already within us and minds are ready to be born. Fledgling creatures pulled freely from nothingness. Being able to prune and mold a complete consciousness from the get go is quite the rush, if I do say so myself.

Wouldn't it be beautiful if more could do this, retreat into their own minds and instead of failing in their strength, intelligence, and willpower have in themselves those who could do it for them. Personalities with the power that they do not.

I honestly think it is a beautiful thing.

>>23099282
So real life has a BBEG now? Right, where's the nearest tavern, I need to hire me some mother fucking HEROES.

>>23099375
You're saying "My insanity is beautiful" but all I'm hearing is

"Please mister Paladin, please kill me, I love being evil and advocating madness, Gods this armor makes me look fat."

>>23099375
You sound like a BBEG. I can only assume the original lost the battle and mad-man is now at the helm.

this could be a great twist if this is realized only late into the game.

i've actually considered making a tulpa of myself who's motivated and actually does things, but i know he'd eventually turn on me and murder me to become the dominant personality by playing off my belief that i would never kill me

>During its limited time at the forefront, begs the players to put an end to its imminent madness, and gives them a way to enter the mind of the BBEG
>The players confront the personalities, all abstract and real, looking for the "true" one

The players find the true personality locked away in a lost corner of the mind, scared and alone, afraid to confront the world and has its personalities do everything they can to protect it.

>>23099346
Of course not, go ahead.... but why exactly do you want to?

>>23099352
Who knows, they might be, they might not. In all honesty at this point I do not care. I have created them, and even if they are not full people it does not mean I can try and and make them people.

A person is only a legacy. The way I live my life, my happiness or emotions do not matter in the long run. How I have changed the world, the people I have changed, and the paths that I have walked. My goal is to be remembered, a hundred or thousand years from now; I wish to be remembered.

Because all the people within me are at least born of me, it will be my name that is recorded. Even who is at the helm does not matter. I have evened the odds, instead of one against billion, it is now seven.

Now doesn't that sound easier?

>>23099436
No. You're using irrational aesthetic ideals to justify destroying your own mind.

You sound delightfully mental.

>>23099436
have you ever asked yourself if you're currently you?
maybe one of the personalities you made is posting right now
and it won't want to believe this, because it thinks it's you, it's you in every way, but it's not

>>23099447
And what? My happiness and the state of my mind matter? Will people remember that I was broken a hundred years from now?

No! They will remember the deeds, the battles fought, speeches given, things accomplished. We do not remember our heroes or villains as people, we remember them as ideas. You are a pile of your accomplishments and failures, nothing more.

My mind is as sound as it every will be. Even if I see it destroyed, or it already has been, a new one will take its place. Strength is never forged without hardship.

>>23099322
You still ain't told us HOW you did it, meditation, drugs, trauma, sheer determination?

I can already see the story with the guy not only fighting for inner control, but believing the personalities are so human that everyone that wants to cure him/eliminate them is a murderer.

So really it was just self-defense when he-

Aw man there's so much material here. And it all comes back to the sad lonely writer backstory. Genius.

>>23099475
I do believe you. I am talking to them as we speak, clearly drawn lines in the sand separate us but bleed over is always possible.

However, the point is... why does it matter? They are created of me, and me of them, so no matter which of us does it. It is still I who have been the one to create.

Meh he's faking it. I can tell from the hamminess and from seeing a lot of horrible pretenders in my time.

Not him, but what mister BBEG is doing is called "tulplaforcing". It basically involves imagining an alternate mind while focusing really, really hard, over and over again for like a few weeks or months, eventually culminating in hallucinations and (Hopefully) insanity and schizophrenia.

This, assuming that the technique actually works (Which I don't think it does, I think we're being trolled).

tumblr only CLAIMS to have a bunch of people in their heads to be special
this guy actually did it and i gotta applaud him for that even if he's insane

>>23099490
As I said it started as work to help my writing. Though, long hours of thought and keeping them inlace is what created it in the beginning. When you first start it is hard, but as you go on the entire process become automatous. As long as you do not switch it off it grows continuously until reaching a plateau.

Drugs aren't needed, neither is trauma. Tools for the weak I say.

>>23099531
Trolling is going on the internet, and doing things just to get a response, whether good or bad. It either means lying to get everyone go pity you, or lying to get everyone angry for no reason, or some other such thing.

Trolling is going on the internet fishing for emotional responses.

>>23099549
But I neither pity or am angry at this guy. So... what is he doing then?

Maybe he is having fun as well.

>>23099549
Nobody asked you for a definition. And even if you are the same person as the one who claimed some random storytime guy was a troll then you just went and shot yourself in the foot.

>>23099504
Believe what you will. Not as if it matters to me. Though I will say I enjoy the drama, an air of glamour around oneself. It helps as long as you can draw others in. People want to believe life is a show, something of an adventure that is just waiting to happen to them. As long as you make them believe that, even if for the smallest of moments, they will follow you.

Those paths exist no longer in the world, at least not in any society on the planet worth mentioning. One must make the path for themselves, and it is a one man street. You can not bring others along with you, but merely show them glimpses, to try and force them to carve their own.

>>23099586
He implied I didn't know what trolling was, so I defined it. And I'm not doubting this would make a good story. Just saying he's probably lying.

No human being can ever be purely one or the other. For some things I believe I an idealist, or at least reaching for goals that are idealistic in nature. On others I am pragmatic, knowing that which is beyond my limitations.

The point is one must not have unrealistic ideas as to what they can do, wishing for something, an ideal, that is far beyond them. Instead they must create within themselves the means to do that which is beyond. I have done so, I have created these minds, and they have shown me that my dreams were too small. I can look for more now, horizons I never even glimpsed with my face pressed against the ground for so long.

You can see it too, you need only look up.

>>23099773

Only...

Remembered...

So isn't us doing this only playing into his game?

Would it be possible to make an improved version of myself, let him take over and just dissappear myself? I've always wanted someone more worthy to take my place.

Id say write a novel but this thread is much more interesting

>>23098935
I think I do this "tulpa" thing too. I've been able to have conversation out loud or in my thoughts with myself for something like 10 years now. It's not just me talking, as in I would be ranting to myself about a problem and then I just start talking differently, countering my own arguments and finding pros and cons and all sorts of details I missed. I give my own self peace of mind or different viewpoints.

Also, I have this "council" of sorts. I've always treated them as mental manifestations of my own moods, emotions, ways of thought etc. Like for example I have a version of myself in full plate armour, the Knight, as my honest and good side. I have an undefined amount of these characters but it feels as if I can talk to them separately and all together at any time, like some weird forum in my head. Also, anytime I'm in a mood, I feel more and more as if I'm taking the respective character's being as myself. I feel as if I cease being Normal Anon and, when I wish to do pure good, I feel more like Knight Anon, far far different than normal me even in tastes, speech and train of thought.

I don't visualize in real life nor have I ever heard voices though. Is this Tulpa shit?

That's even worse than Mr.BBEG. At least he is going crazy in a productive direction.

Are the people you see different from you, looks wise?

Also are there in girls in there?

Yes I do, those with me walk beside me. They are me, but they must have a presence themselves within the world. It is easier to speak to them if I can see them, is it not? Though it is just as easy to put these others away, of course it has been getting harder lately, but that is to be expected.

Sometimes they pop out when they shouldn't, coming out to see what I am and what not. It's rather annoying if I am to be perfectly honest. They disagree of course, especially Maria.

Yes, there are three females, and three males besides myself. I decided it would be better to have an even split, perspectives and what not.

Yes they look different than me, in the beginning I created what they look like, but as they gaining an automatous realm of thought they built themselves. Most have a constant form, one that is who they are. One does not, he prefers change and trying new bodies.

I am unsure if I want to go into more details however. Even the name, Maria, is dangerous.

>>23099875
Even if you are, you're presumably adequately functional in human society and getting added benefit out of it.

Seems like a good deal to me.

No, but I liked the whole BBEG vibe the guy was giving off. The fucker seemed perfect to add into a game.

I mean come on; a lonely writer who broke his own mind for his art, and then went down the path of world domination.

The glamour shit, the "I will be remembered", stuff about the one vs billions to seven, the belief people are just a pile of deeds. It's all perfect for a bad guy. Honestly if the few posts here he wrote a better villain than I have ever been able to.

Talking to yourself, no matter how you think about it, is a great way to wrap your mind around new things. You can analyse things with ease, reach new insight and improve on your thinking by doing this.

But please don't kid yourself by thinking you're talking to anyone but yourself.

There's your problem, anon.

Note how I'm not saying "tend to be seen as", but "tend to be".

>>23099995
But how do I do that? Is it actually possible to be conscious of such things and will them to reality? I'm talking genuine psychology and mental health shit here, not fucking "FOCUS YOUR CHAKRA AND IT SHALL BE DONE" shit.

I think I might have made one of those tulpa thingies or something by accident. Ever since I was young, I've been pretty much unable to get mad, no matter the circumstance. If someone picked on me, bad mouthed me, knocked a drink out my hand etc etc, I would respond with a smile and a it's okay, I don't mind. That was the case until I was about 20 years old. I was out having fun in town with a couple of friends when some guy bumped into me and said "watch were you're going" and knocked my drink out my hand. I could literally feel myself sinking into the back of my mind as I watched what unfolded. I felt a sensation of floating as I watched through my own eyes without any power over my own body. Long story short, I had beaten him until he passed out, then I broke both his legs by jumping on them, and for some reason I found a small sharp rock nearby and carved a smiley face on his cheek.
I'm now 25 and I haven't had incidents like that again. Whenever I get that fleeting sensation of someone else taking over, I just keep it back whatever it is.

I might just be fucked up in the head, but who knows!

>>23100014
Alright.

Hey cracked-mind/BBEG if you are still here riddle me this; You said earlier that tools are for the weak. Is this mindset not a weakness of itself? The weak may use tools to compensate, but if I gave a 100% is it not a strength to use a tool to reach 110%?

>>23100042
Of course it is. I did it after all. I am special in no way, merely a man who has seen the light. The light is beautiful, and I find it illuminated many more things to be discovered. Come on, it would be better if I was not the only one to experience these things.

To never be alone, to have comrades to walk along the same path, to fall back into your own head and find arms ready to embrace and support you. Comrades, friends, a world within yourself ripe for plunder. Don't you want to find it, take the journey?

If not you will only go back to a life, a life of pain and monotony. Is that really what you wish for? The same thing day in and day out, going to work, coming home, eating, sleeping, shitting, fucking... Nothing beyond such simple things. Sixty years on the rat race, trying to stave of death. Telling yourself it is never safe to do those things, or that it is merely not the time.

No! Come to a new world. It is a leap of fate, but be strong. You are not the first to carve this path, and with each one it becomes a little wider. Pave the way for those to come, as I have.

Create a new world, with me.

Introducing them to the new girlfriend must be a whole new level of spaghetti.

>>23099435

They then realize that they can not get out, and must accept that either he somehow trapped them in his mind or from the beginning they were also thoughtforms that BBEG made to make himself confront the reality of who he is...

>>23099435
>>23100151
I like this so much i'm going to write a movie concept about it and present it to my media company.

>>23100073
I see your point, and counter with something very simply. I don't care. Rules set for myself, guard rails and regulations, things that can and must not be done to preserve the integrity of my own accomplishments. Those thins, tools of outside the body, if I am to do them than my legacy will be spoiled. My own state of mind does not matter, but my deeds and how they were done do. I carved a path to a new world, a better world, with my own cracking. If I was to do it with drugs, such sickly humors, or trauma. Some artificial tool to crack what is within me... that wouldn't make it my history destroyed!

My remembrance would fade, the world would see and scoff at my accomplishments.

My path much be forged with me and that which is within me. My friends, those who I have created for these duties. The seven of us shall see this through to the end, and you will hear my name ring for ever more.

>>23100189
Dude, BBEG should be on the writing team. He said he was a writer didn't he?

See? Fucking gold.

any monikers from the thread you prefer for the sake of easy address?

Counter-Counter-Point, We only make progress by standing on the shoulders of giants. To forsake tools and advances is a fool's game. If you care about legacy, then you must realize no one will care if you rediscover fire?

>>23100210
And by meeting new people and becoming successful in general, the writer doesn't have to be lonely anymore and his personalities can disappear without a worry.

The End.

>>23100264
>and by accumulating wealth and power he forms a cult of personality and begins his world takeover.

>>23100249
Giant must be torn down. Their shoulders are high, but their shadows are longer. Why would I try to balance on their shoulders when I could be the cornerstone for a tower anew?

>>23100273
Shhh that's the sequel. I want people to stay after the credits for the cliffhanger.

He succeeds and a new civilization is born where people shatter their minds and use all the personalities as fall backs for their shortcomings.

>>23100295
this sounds like one of those "terrifying utopia" things, like demolition man

>>23100303
This movie keeps sounding better and better. Each squeal would switch genre... representing another personality within the main characters head.

What about the love story between him and one of the people in his own head?

There could be a really intense romantic scene, between him and a hallucinations. Then suddenly the scene cuts and the guy is just sitting alone in a room in the dark, his food at the table eaten, but the other just sitting cold and the cable just having gone out.

Honestly, in regards to the multiple personalities / tulpas / thoughtforms / what have you, I think it sounds like a really interesting and personal experiment. Every distinct personality you create is a chance to step outside the box of your common currents of thought and get fresh perspectives on nearly anything you experience, while simultaneously giving you the guarantee that all observable data is 100% in sync between all 'witnesses' to said data. You would have to work pretty hard to get the process down; devote your entire focus to conversations between the 'characters,' entirely internal, so that you can shape and define the different perspectives, and also normalizing the process of holding multiple lines of thought via 'conversation.'

I think I am just interested enough to try this myself. Like, not just passing interest, but hardcore devotion, at least until I can determine if there will be substantial results.

You have been amusing cracked-mind, but I am done with my questions.

Others please I encourage you to continue with questions. if only because he is so unique.

>>23100326
The end twist is that he's in a coma and all throughout the movie/s, there would be loads of hidden signs. Like he has the inability to remember much from "last night", like a running gag. People assume he's just drunk cause shit, there he is with a beer in his hand! but nobody realizes it's actually because his brain is slowly dying.

>>23100326
>There could be a really intense romantic scene
THE most romantic masturbation scene in existence.

>>23100326
*candle, not cabal. I can't fucking sleep.

>>23100365
Wasn't thinking he'd jack off. Probably would do that after the hallucination broke and he's just sitting alone.

>>23100356
We need to write the script to this move. Mr.BBEG, wanna help?

>>23100356
but then it wouldn't be nearly as gripping because "pff things are kinda weird in a dream, whodafunk". I dunno, just seems like putting an unnecessary layer between the audience and what's happening.

But the man himself, being a writer and everything, will probably know best.

>>23099485
>will people remember that I was broken
Yes. You will be more popular with psychologists if you make it big than with the artistic world.

Also I think you're full of shit.

Interesting thread...

I have been thinking about going down this route more lately myself.

I have noticed the ability to entertain myself and be happy, playing with my own mind. I don't have distinct personalities, I am just able to outrace my own thoughts. To have my subconscious mind outpace my conscious and be standing there ready with the answer.

I have been a bit hesitant to dive into it fully, to allow myself the luxury of not finishing my thoughts, of being able to go down ALL of the tangents simultaneously instead of thinking linearly.

And you are right I am so much more creative when I don't force myself to think in this framework of normal linear logic.

>>23099623
We are.

>>23100373
I think he meant it's masturbation because that personality you're flirting with is technically still a part of yourself.

>>23099730
That's not what I meant.

I mean he meant.

>>23100381
Anything can be done if done well. It can't be overemphasized or too scattered.

>>23100393
Ah, the movie though, it would be so good.

>>23100384

The only alternate personality I allow into my mind is the idea of the sublime.

When the random events around me come together in such a beautiful way that I see beauty that I could never have conceived of before.

Like a familiar voice that shares that unspoken silence when nothing needs to be said and everything is perfectly understood, like between old friends.

>>23100384
eh, that sounds like a simple oddity to me. Like me sometimes thinking I can look into the next few future seconds when I'm having something akin to deja vu.
Then one day I wasn't stunned by the effect anymore and did something contradicting prediction, and lo and behold the world stopped being in line with it as well.

>>23100393
So what happens when you rape another one of your personalities?

>>23100384
I said to the other man come with me on my journey. We need others like me, others who seek a legacy. Come with me friend. Though our bodies may die and decay, and those within us will fade with our bodies, the legacy shall stay forevermore.

To bring something that has been stereotyped, wouldn't you like to see how deep the rabbit hole goes?

>>23100435
You can rape yourself. Ever been jacking off, then something breaks the mood, but continue because you feel like you need to.

>>23100423

And then I try to be a nice guy and talk to people like equals instead of manipulating them, because I can see what they need, what they want, what will make them happy...

So far people have not been very appreciative of that, it seems like they prefer to be manipulated, controlled, have their thoughts guided.

As long as I can keep things novel and entertaining and show them truths that they have never seen before they are willing to have me lead.

I guess its not rape if they ask for it right?

>Read this thread and learn about tulpas
>Google it and find communities of people who make the fucking things
I find this to be an extremely disturbing concept.

>>23100401
Or actually the coma twist is too overused when you think about it. Less creative. How about the "go into mind bbeg's mind" thing and finding out the real BBEG personality trapped and scared is a mere child unable to cope with the loss of a parent, sibling or beloved pet?

Basically, the child creates an entire alternate dimension in his head where he is every person populating it, each character a separate fragment of his psyche. They could be named after things relevant to his life and the audience would just consider them nicknames, especially if the movie has a modern setting with a gang of good-hearted street gangstaz or something fighting some corporate bigshot or whatever. the good guys AND the bad guys and everyone in between are aspects of the child's mind.

In the end, he breaks himself out of it. Could have a positive message about depression or mental illness, in that you should never give up trying to help yourself but also accepting help and being a good person in general to those who need it. A somewhat deep movie that hardcore moviegoers and families can enjoy.

Could also work as a videogame, with multiple endings. good guys win, kid becomes normal again. Bad guys win, kid gets locked up in a mental asylum all his life or becomes some ultraviolent sickfuck. The guy down the street who owns the cornerstore and doesn't give a fuck ends up on top and kid becomes a wanderer, travelling the earth and sampling all of life's guilty pleasures etc.

>>23100455
I suffer from body dysphoria, and my body sometimes has 'needs' that my mind really doesnt want to do.
And it's like raping myself.
I used to feel really sick after masturbating. Therapy has helped reduce it.

>>23100470
You merely don't see the world as it should be, you see it as it is. Those without vision, who have their eyes firmly planted on the ground, shall fall away as time moves on. No legacy, nothing to prove you ever existed.

You might as well not have existed at all.

I like the lonely writer idea better that evolves with him going from protagonist to villain by the end of the series. I think it would be an amazing series of movies.

>>23100427

I am not saying that I can predict the future, just think through problems in my subconscious.

I will assume that I know the answer, bullshit out some answer, and as I am thinking about the false answer I see where the flaw in the logic is and what is the actual answer as if I really had known it all along.

Mr.BBEG... what is your name? Just the first, the last does matter.

I'm curious. Names mean a lot, and if it's something cool then you probably are gonna go full RL BBEG.

It could have his own split personalities eventually leave him, seeing what he has become and deciding it would better to disappear. The main character desperately tries to force them to stay, but can't. This could happen to the personality he is romantically involved with (the one from the romantic scene).

I NEED THIS NOW /TG/

I am Alexander, you may call me Alexander Crackedmind if you want to refer to me as something beyond my first name.

ITT: the Dear Esther 2 script.

So crackedmind how open are you about your mental passengers with friends/family?

I assume you don't put "I have 7 minds within me" on job applications but is there anyone who knows you personally who know?

What about wife/gf issues. Can you imagine caring about somebody so deeply that you let them into the inner workings of your mind?
And if so how would you feel about them changing one of your imagined personalities?

Stop being an asshole. It's just that easy.

>>23100634
Why would I tell anyone else? I realize most would not understand such things, and most would scorn me as some kind of monster or seek my admittance to a mental institution. Companions like wives and girlfriends, distractions from a goal.

I can not imagine it because it will not happen. My family would be the only ones I would even consider it for, and only do I not to let them have an ease of mind.

No one can change the personalities, they are mine and mine alone. The world within my head is a kingdom. The only ones who allowed entrances are those already within.

>>23100651
Speaking of which, how's the pursuit of your goal coming along?

The fact that crackedmind is an author and is doing this for his art is what makes this ok in my mind.

I have heard about blind deaf mute children who don't really need anything, they are happy and content to just rock back and forth in their beds...

I am not sure that I would be thrilled about shutting myself up in my mind if it did not allow new ways to see and interact with the world and others in it.

>>23100651

Not true, we fool ourselves into thinking that our wills are ours alone, but every conversation is proof that we are capable of being influenced, seeing ideas that we have never conceived of before.

Your work seeks to leave that lasting mark on others, why would you deny that others can likewise change and shape you.

Are you discussing the contents of this thread with your council of 6?

How much are they contributing to what you write?

Also are they as dedicated to your goals as you are?

>>23100735
Of course I am, and they are contributing in a meaningful matter, but at the moment it my time to be in control of all of this. We take turns making decisions and generally vote on certain things. I of course have veto power, but I do not abuse it.

Most of them are, but they very in degrees. I am the most focused.

>>23100684
I am not shut in here, you assume I am locked away from the world and fear it. No, I merely have more power now beside me and those to support me. I am not locked in there with them, it is you all, those out in the world, are stuck in this world with me.

I wish you luck on that.

Shut up, me. I don't have any real experience in such matters.

Well, this thread was certainly an interesting read. I don't much into tulpafaggotry because /x/ and /mlp/ aren't really my thing, but I'm fairly certain I've got the bug.

My favorite story is "His Dark Materials" by Pullman. I stumbled upon it during elementary school and it started me on two kicks: many-worlds and the seperation between mind, body, and soul. I was fascinated by these things. I couldn't stop thinking about all the parallel universes right on top of ours, and below, that could differ from as much as someone getting up a few seconds layer to the dinosaurs never became extinct and beyond. I also loved the idea that a portion of what made up 'me' was 'other', but still me. My soul could be me, but a different me than the one I was used to. I thought about it, like how sometimes you might suddenly feel something...a gut instinct. Intuition or whatever. But since I wasn't in a world like Lyra's, I couldn't see it. So I set myself to imagining it. Now, I wasn't a lonely child. I've never really been lonely. I'm good with friends. I just wanted to see if I could visualize whatever was there. And sure enough, I could. Whenever I wanted I could look over and there would be the other half of me. I could communicate with her. We decided on a name. Of course there was the whole shapeshifting animal thing, and looking back, it feels kinda furry, but that changed after a few years.

I refined my view of her after discovering more things that had similar characteristics. Kingdom Hearts was a big one (them delicious many-worlds) and, god rest my young self, Bleach. She went from amorphous, mood-based animal shape to settling on a large cat, and then into an actual young girl that has grown up with me thus far. As I grew up, though, I realized that this was crazy. I was stuck in a kind of 'permanent imaginary friend, wat do?' state. Still kinda am, I guess. But it's better because I came to an understanding with myself.

[Cont'd, field too long]

>>23102703
If I'm crazy, I know I'm crazy, and can keep myself in check. It's pretty much just like normal. I think something crazy and just don't do it. It just happens to be that I'm probably crazy while doing that. It also expresses itself in a way I find hilarious.

Anyway, skip ahead to present day and my current fascination with String Theory and multiple dimensions, and now I think 'what if she's me, but quantum-entangled through the sixth dimension from an alternate reality or something?' alongside of 'I'm probably crazy.'

That's just how it's been for me. Now I job, an apartment, a real cat, good friends to /tg/ with, and a rather fun but somewhat sarcastic conversation partner in my head.

I really have no idea how someone like Mr. Crackminded can deal with six of them, though. And the people that try to make imaginary pony friends creep me out.

Just saying, good luck with your personalities, it can be a pain sometimes. I mean, how can you explain you're laughing to yourself to someone else because you have your other you finding a new (unrelated) joke?

>>23102806
Just tell them "I thought of something funny"?

>>23102823

Your mistake is thinking that average people aren't crazy too. You think because you look around you and see everyone acting what you perceive as normal that it's the truth.

Something like one out of four people around you also has an exceptionally painful laceration on their anus. Just because they're not screaming and gushing blood out the back of their pants doesn't mean the anal fissure's not there.

This reminds me of the story about the lich who was locked in a room for centuries, and entertained himself by imagining up an adventurer.
As I recall, they had a falling out because he decided to retire when he was supposed to be hunting for the crown of red wyrms and settled down with some elvish slut, but the lich still made toys for their daughter, because even half-elves deserve nice things now and then.
There was a lot of other stuff. Anybody have a cap?

This equates to a worse denial of reality than the tulpatoters.

There are people that are crazy, just like someone you shake hands with honestly may have fapped not even 5 minutes ago, or may be casually thinking about what it'd be like to gouge out your eyeball.

We don't talk about these things in person because it's weird, because it's not politically correct, and because we're scared of each other.

Shh... Shh... It'll all be over soon... Oh, it's not time for that yet...

Although I agree the guy's being silly, I think it's even more silly to try and say his opinion is weirder than the guys that *literally try to induce schizophrenia just so they have people to play with.*

>>23103205

Sometimes I think about biting people.

It's not that I WANT to bite them or anything like that, I just occasionally look at them and think "Wonder what it would be like to bite them on the face?"

It's not like I sit there staring at their face gnashing my teeth or anything. You'd neeeever know I'm thinking about biting your lip or whatever, if you meet me.

>>23103219
I don't think they're all like that. Who says someone with a tulpa can't have real friends?

>>23103241

The question is could they tell the difference.

The better question: With a good enough of a tulpa, would it matter?

How do you define insanity? Are people like this insane?

>>23103264

From a fictional standpoint, I suppose not, it could likely manifest or somesuch.

In the real world, no, your friends might have difficulty accepting that you want to invite Mr. Bimble who lives inside your finger to the game. Either that or they'll get a little freaked out when the fistfight enthusiast you turn into wants to destroy the modern world and go back to living in his own shit and wearing bloody animal skins because it's more "manly".

The King had good taste. Weird, but good.
He had a shit manager though. Why would you ever turn down playing at the white house?

>>23103301

Yes.

>>23103300

Seashells. Do you even Stallone?

>>23103303

His manager was, by most accounts, a strange guy but very decent to work for/with. At one point he apparently paid the guy who was doing all the grunt work on one of Elvis' early tours much, much, much more than had been originally agreed upon, simply because the dude had been working hard and he thought it was fair.

Guy said Elvis' manager took him to a back room with a couple of guys (scared the shit out of him), then dumped all the money they'd made on the tour, in cash, onto the table. Then he slammed his cane down in the middle of the table and swept half the cash to one side and half of it to the other, pointed to one of the stacks, and said "That's yours."

>>23103330
He also turned down playing for the president because, quote, "Elvis doesn't play for free."

>>23103309
Why? Both of them are insane. It doesn't matter if one can tell the difference.

>>23103352

So? Why does the President get free shit?

I know I'm insane. Didn't read trough the whole thread, but I get the twist of things. Granted,my insanity isn't from tulpas.

>>23103389

I can't be the only one that every time I see that word thinks we're talking about tulips.

Then my next thought is we're talking about horses because of this series of urban fantasy books I read.

There's a good name for something.

>>23103415

When I get back to my game I'm going to have my players run into Insanity Tulips.

God, I decide to try out the tulpa thing after being weirded out by those guys on /mlp/, and now it's on /tg/.

When will it end?

I've had a tulpa since I was very young. I experienced something really traumatizing in my early childhood to the point that the memory is completely repressed. But since that point, I've had two personalities in me, basically.

I'm in love with her.

>>23103465

I'm not sure which you're a new and disturbing variety of... Forever Alone or That Guy.

>>23103502
I've never really considered myself to be alone, and it's not like I actually tell people in real life I have a tulpa. I'm just emotionally incapable of loving anyone but my tulpa.

>>23103412
Just realized it last year. Everything was normal to me before, then I realized something was wrong.

Here's a picture of my insanity that I've lately come to like. I heard some time ago about a concept of time that some african tribe had. They imagined that time flows from behind them to their front.

Why? Because they can "see" to the past. Remember. Future cannot be seen, so it comes from behind. My insanity has a definite form in this picture. "He" stands 3 years in the past. As I move backwards and thus create new memories, he too walks forward.

Beyond him, I cannot see. I have only memories from the past 3 years or so. I never really thought it as strange, since I knew that I must have had a childhood because I'm now an adult. I just couldn't remember it. I didn't think much about it.

Then, I got into a fight with my father. He had asked what my age is and I'd answered with "I don't remember."

He thought I was kidding and just being an ass. After a while, he started talking about my childhood and how he had taken care of our family and asked why doesn't that memory mean nothing to me.

I tried to remember and collapsed in a panic attack.

If I try to see past that "man" that's walking after me, I get hit with a massive wave of despair and literally drop on the spot from the pain.

Now I'm trying to find out why I can't remember.

>>23103524
That Guy, then? Falling in love with a tulpa sounds just as bad as the people that take that waifu stuff seriously. It isn't real, anon. You can have a realtionship with it. But not like that.

SANITY IS FOR THE WEAK!

>>23103607

You can't look at it like that. It's not "normal for the sake of being normal", it's "being sane for the sake of being happy in other ways".

I mean I guess there's nothing objectively wrong about having a relationship with an aspect of your own psyche and forsaking other relationships to do so, but you have to consider whether you're doing that because it makes you happy and fulfilled or if it's just easier for you than looking outward would be. (Sort of like all the Japanese incest and pseudo-incest stuff... being romantically involved with someone who you've known your entire life and whose love is assured is less emotionally risky and rocky than developing a relationship with someone new that you'd have to get to know.)

You have to consider whether you're keeping your "tulpa" and centering your emotions around, um, her just because you feel you won't get hurt that way and because you don't have to be challenged that way. If it is, then it's not healthy... not because it's"not normal", but because it's an unhealthy relationship.

>>23103544

Sounds like repressed memories, the problem with trying to remember too hard is that your brain will paint in the details.

If you can deal with the pain, really make yourself be able to accept no matter what actually happened, it will make remembering easier.

Since you are on /tg/ try role-playing trough it by writing different fictional stories about your past, in which nothing contradicts what you know about your life. Sometimes making up a lie that you admit to yourself is not true will force your subconsciousness to remember.

>>23103607
Is it real happiness if you are merely ignoring the unhappiness reality brings you? Is it not like giving up, since you would rather a construct of your mind than carve it out of the life you have?

>>23103599
>>23103603
Well, the picture has given me a bunch of nightmares too, It's where I originally got it when I first heard the "time flows from behind you when you move backwards and see to the past, which is in front of you" thing.

I tried once to just fight trough the panic attack and try to remember something.

I got almost a week worth of nightmares where he suddenly stands still and lets me have my memories back.

Few moments of happiness and childhood memories, then he takes a step. He starts running after me, while I try to run backwards away from him. Then I wake up because fuck this fucking fuck.

>>23103650
> being romantically involved with someone who you've known your entire life and whose love is assured is less emotionally risky

Uh, I don't know how new you are to the idea of incest, but taking it to that level is actually pretty fucking risky

Although that tends to get skimmed over in your typical eroge so your point remains somewhat valid

>>23103652

Medication and therapy for now. Not gonna even try to fight trough the pain again. At least any time soon.

>Implying your reality is any more real than his

>>23103607

Well maybe she is ok with 3 somes, you should have a heart to heart with yourself.

I mean she can't be jealous of the real girl since she will always share something with you that is impossible to duplicate.

And maybe she could "inhabit" the other person and teach her (through some hints on your part) how to get you to fall in love with her.

>>23103709
I think that person would have to be the most open-minded woman in existance

>>23103691

Yeah, it's the fantasy of it that's important to showing the mindset, not the actuality.

>>23103731

In fairness, most women aren't in her unique position

>>23103653
I've never really been unhappy though, I love life, in fact. I've always been with my tulpa, from as far back as I can remember. She's as real of a part of this world as I am as far as I'm concerned. I don't even know what it's like to not be with her, not do I have any reason to get rid of part of my and my happiness because it isn't socially acceptable. I don't see what's so inherently wrong about love when it doesn't fall into your restraints.

>>23103650
I'm not forsaking any relationships. I have a healthy social life. I just don't have romantic interest in any but my tulpa because I'm simply just not attracted to them.

Why does a relationship need risk in order to be considered legitimate?

Why do you assume I'm taking the easy way out?

>>23103675

I had a dream

In this dream a person was walking towards me that looked so familiar I could weep...

He said to me "Friend, I have known you for an eternity, but the more that you come to understand me the more I will forget you."

And at that moment I understood that this was a good friend of mine that was living backwards in time, and in the future, many years from now, I would come up to him and say:
"Friend, I have known you for an eternity, but the more that you come to understand me the more I will forget you."

Because you shy from the idea of emotionally risking yourself like a horse shies from fire.

A relationship requires risk to be legitimate because that's the only way it occurs between human beings. Conflict and the risk of conflict is how we grow as people, even with those we love. It's differences and resolving those differences that allow us to develop and grow closer.

You're afraid of that.

>>23103756

Fact: Reality can only be determined by the senses available to those who experience it
Fact: Those senses can be adjusted, malfunctioned, manipulated, and toyed with

Result: Reality is subjective

Brain in a vat. Deal with it, nerd

>>23103782

Views of reality are subjective, though. Even if reality itself follows rules and isn't.

>>23103709
Think about it from my perspective,

Since childhood, you've had a friend. Your friend has always been with. Words have always been unnecessary between you. You always know what the other needs. Regardless of the situation, your friend has stuck by you. Regardless of the situation, there's always a warming mental embrace when you need it. This friend was always the perfect medium to bounce your ideas off, and you served the same purpose for that friend. You would always each offer each other new insight into things.
I'm just satisfied. I have everything I could want. Why would I try to form a relationship with a woman I couldn't truly love and just end up hurting her?
Why should I abandon a life long friend?

>>23103788

Even if you're a brain in a vat being fed electric signals, that does not make the world you perceive due to those electrical signals real. It just makes it a very convincing falsehood.

If your brain is damaged to perceive white things as black, it does not mean that reality has become subjective and white is actually black. You're just wrong about how you see things.

Existence does not center around you. Deal with it, idiot.

But would he be any more normal if he, for your sake put on a show and started a relationship with a person he does not feel drawn to under what amounts to a false pretense.

My last GF broke up with me because however wonderful our relationship was she was feeling like the replacement rabbit.

And I admit that I still vividly dream about my first love who lives on a different continent and with whom I have not spoken in years.

I agreed with my GF's assessment and am dealing with my issues right now.

Right. So, who's the one who can tell the difference? You? A brain in a vat *next* to you?

>If your brain is damaged to perceive white things as black, it does not mean that reality has become subjective and white is actually black. You're just wrong about how you see things.

And yet if everyone's brain was "damaged," it would be accepted as normal and ordinary. Your "correct" interpretation would be considered absurd and demonstrably wrong by anyone with their "damaged" brain
