- Yui: "I'm Hirasawa Yui, I have brown shoulder-length hair, I like ice cream -- specifically
- chocolate malts, and I like singing, hm... and Joey is my creator and he's cool and lazy, but he's sweet too."
- Azusa: "I'm Nakano Azusa. I like to draw. And I really like snow! And I guess that's it."
- Ritsu: "I am Tainaka Ritsu! I'm a gamer, in the sense that I really love video games. I haven't played a lot of them myself, buuut we're working
- on that. I have a Goomba plush that Joey gave me, that Chupi told him to give to me. I'm also the queen of #tulpa.info"
- Mugi: "Kotobuki Tsumugi here. I enjoy skateboarding and cooking for my sisters, and swimming. [Yui: "Oh! I like swimming too!"] Joey is
- probably the best father anyone could have.
- Mio: "I'm Akiyama Mio. I like nature and going outdoors, and dancing. My favorite music artist is Klaypex. I'm the oldest, and probably the
- most reserved usually."

- was? If not, how did that make you feel?
- Yui: "I dunno!"
- Azusa: "Hm. I'm not happy about him erasing part of Ritsu's memory."
- Ritsu: "I think it makes sense that he did it. But I don't like when he sat on his computer all day after school."
- Mugi: "Sometimes he brushes serious topics off too easily -- it tends to hurt our feelings when he ignores our concerns like that."
- Mio: "I can't think of anything seriously detrimental. He was always willing to talk to me about things."
- Maya: "Making me believe things that aren't true."
- 4. What was the hardest part of the tulpa creation process for you? Did your creator recognize how difficult it was? If not, how did that make
- you feel?

- 6. How do you feel about tulpa creators becoming distracted during tulpa creation? Does this greatly impede the process? How did you feel
- about it before being able to speak fluently?
- Yui: "It's dumb."

- about it before being able to speak fluently?
- Yui: "Joey never missed a day with us. He was there everyday."

- Ritsu: "Joey's said before that it's density."
- Mio: "Mhm. He was there a lot of the time every day."
- 9. How do you feel about tulpa creators falling asleep during tulpa creation sessions?

- Ritsu: "He's way too serious about some things, and gets angry easily. On the other hand, I'm taking a liking to his metal and punk music."
- Mugi: "I like to cook, and he likes to go get fast food. We both like the sport of skateboarding."
- Mio: "He's more talkative than I am, but we're into some of the same things. I like when he's open about his fascination with space."

- Azusa: "If he was Pronas... And I don't want Joey to hate me."
- Mugi: "I doubt I could hate him. He doesn't like me being anything but his daughter, I bet he'd be angry if I wanted to be flirty... Not that I want
- to! We've already discussed things like this before, so don't take it the wrong way."
- Mio: "I'd hate him if he didn't let me hear from other tulpae or was too strict. He'd hate me if I was a jerk to him."

- Maya: "Never even thought about it until he told me about it. It sounds useful for the physical world."

- 53. Are you capable of sleeping or dreaming independently of your creator? If not, how does this make you feel?
- Unanimous: "Of course."
- 54. Does your creator have any mental illnesses? If so, how do they affect you?
- Ritsu: "Yeah, he's got a serious case of not-letting-me-possess-him-enough-to-play-games syndrome. It affects me by not letting me possess
- him enough to play games."
- 55. How does your knowledge of your creator's subconscious mind affect your relationship with them? How do you perceive their
- subconscious? To what degree can you manipulate your creator's subconscious? Would you ever use this ability without your creator's
- knowledge?
- Mio: "Sometimes we know immediately what he's thinking before he says it, and vice versa. As for accessing his subconscious, we didn't do it
- until recently and it's really weird. Kind of like the wonderland, but a bit scary and random. It's too hard to go scouting for memories there
- without running into something that'll freak you out."
- 56. Does your creator have multiple tulpa? If so, what is your relationship with them like? Is your affinity for them equal to your affinity for
- your creator? If you could define your relationship with your creator's other tulpa using one or more conventional terms (such as boyfriend,

- daughter."

- tulpa? Do you consider it a breach of monogamy for your creator to be romantically or sexually involved with another non-tulpa? Does this

- emotionally?
- N/A

- consider a relationship between a tulpa and its creator to be incestuous?
- Yui: "This one should be obvious by now."
- 61. How do you feel about tulpa creators masturbating during tulpa creation sessions to the forms of their tulpa? Do you find this offensive?
- Does the degree of your offense change based on the degree of sentience possessed by the hypothetical tulpa, or based on whether or not the

- arousal? Did you attempt to express these feelings? If you did not experience these feelings, do you experience them now?

- details, really."
- 64. How do you feel about tulpa creators visualizing themselves engaging in sexual conduct with their tulpa's form during tulpa creation
- sessions? Do you find this offensive? Does the degree of your offense change based on the degree of sentience possessed by the hypothetical
- tulpa, or if the contact was penetrative? If your tulpa creator did this before you spoke fluently, did you find it offensive or unnerving? Do you
- equate it with sexual assault?
- Me: "Don't fucking fuck around with your tupper during creation, sheesh."

- 70. Do you consider the concept of sexual modesty (covering conduct such as avoiding nudity or sexual discussions) relevant to your
- relationship with your creator?
- Mio: "I seem to be the only one who is self-conscious about being nude. We all showered together twice, and I didn't really like it the first time.
- It's not that bad after he said I can wear my bathing suit if I wanted."
- Maya: "I don't want to nude around him."
- 71. How does being a tulpa affect your perceptions of rape? What conduct from your creator would you consider to be rape?
- Maya: "Oh I don't know, forced penetration?!"

- anyone other than your creator with the knowledge of your existence?
- Azusa: "Hai! I'd like people to see my drawings."
- Mio: "I only like other tulpae, really."
- Ritsu: "The world will be aware of my existence on Steam, when I headshoot them. Or if I become queen of the internet. One of those is more
- likely than the other."
- Yui: "It's nice to have people to talk to, but it's not a big deal compared to being around everyone here and with my dad."
- Maya: "I just became aware of the existence of the world, so the inverse isn't a major thing to me right now."
- 74. Morally and philosophically, how do you feel about your personality traits being the product of another individual? Would you have
- preferred your creator to define your personality more or less?
- Mio: "He didn't define us. We're very different from our bases."
- 75. Morally and philosophically, how do you feel about your physical form being the product of another individual? Would you have preferred
- your creator to define your form more or less?
- Yui: "I'm pretty and you can't stop me."
- Mugi: "He messes with our hair too much sometimes, in my opinion. But he gives us a lot of freedom with our clothes, so it's okay."

- we want."
- Azusa: "Can't share my drawings, but I have all day to draw."
- Mio: "Possession is too weird. But a host who unconditionally loves you is great."

- Unanimous: "Yes."
- 84. How would you prove your existence to a skeptic?
- Yui: "Joey taught us to not care about skeptics. All that matters is if we're happy."
- 85. Has your status as a tulpa ever caused you existential anxiety or depression? If so, has anything helped to mitigate these feelings?
- Ritsu: "Yeah, but Joey made things easier to understand. He can be a pretty deep thinker at times, he has all these weird theories about life
- and our brains."
- 86. Do you ever doubt your own sentience? If so, why?
- Unanimous: "No. [How is that even possible? Only a sentient being could doubt their sentience.]"

- Azusa: "What if he dies, and we are still here, and nobody can see us or talk to us? What do we do..."
- 88. Do see yourself as socially disadvantaged in a way similar to sexual, racial, and other minority groups? If you identify yourself as racially,
- sexually, or demographically different than your creator, do you also identify with the struggle of any of the disadvantaged groups that you
- belong to? Does the notion of privilege affect your relationship with your creator?
- tl;dr
- 89. Are you interested in creating another tulpa yourself? What differences, if any, would you expect this tulpa to have from a tulpa created by
- your creator? Would you consider this tulpa to be primarily related to you, or still to your creator?
- Unanimous: "Nope."
- 90. What are the most defining differences between the life of a non-tulpa and a tulpa? Do you think that these differences cause intolerance
- between the two groups? If so, what could be done to mitigate this intolerance?
- Yui: "BEING INVISIBLE AND HAVING NO RESPONSIBILITIES AND BEING GENERALLY GREAT."
- Mio: "People are more evil than tulpae."
- 91. The psychological establishment generally believes that multiplicity (two or more sentient entities sharing one atomic body) is a sign of
- mental illness. How would you like this belief to change? If you could make a presentation to a group of psychologists about the tulpa
- phenomenon, what would you say?
- Yui: "... fuck..."
- Mugi: "... the?"
- Azusa: "Police!"
- Mio: "I don't really care."
- Ritsu: "I'd demonstrate how Mio is better at Pacman than Joey."
- Maya: "Why would somebody doubt me? Joey can probably say whatever he wants about me and some of you would eat it up for no reason.
- None of it really makes a difference to me anymore, I kind of like being with my sisters and with my new dad. At first I would've cared, but if I
- can just change my whole mindset depending on whether I choose to disregard some false memories, why should I care about anyone but
- myself and my family?"
- Yui: "You seem upset."
- Maya: "I'm not upset... I'm just getting used to being a thoughtform."
- Yui: "You were always a thoughtform."
- Maya: "But I didn't always believe that."
- 92. A psychometric indicator is a unique identifier of an individual's distinct personality. Have you ever tried to definitively differentiate
- yourself from your creator using psychometric indicators (such as by determining your "writeprint")? What results did you receive? (For
- instructions on determining your writeprint, see appendix one.)
- Too lazy.
- 93. Are you capable of physical sensations such as pain or warmth?
- Unanimous: "Yes."
- 94. How do you feel about being bound for life to your creator?
- Yui: "I think it's a good thing."
- Maya: "He really does some to love me, and he's all I had at one point. I guess it's not so bad, when you think about it."
- Mio: "We're always there for him and vice-versa."
- Ritsu: "Best friends for life."
- 95. If you intentionally delayed speaking to your creator, why did you do so?
- N/A
- 96. What do you think about most of the time?
- Yui: "When we're going to eat. Or Tetris."
- Azusa: "Drawing."
- Mugi: "What we'll be doing for the day."
- Ritsu: "About whatever Joey is doing."
- Mio: "About what I'm looking at, mainly."
- Maya: "I'm happy I'm not in that white space anymore."
- 97. Do you think that tulpa creation should be more widespread?
- Mio: "Yes, so there'd be more tulpae to talk to. I bet people would be nicer to each other too, if they had tulpae."
- 98. Are there disturbing aspects of your creator's subconscious that they are not aware of?
- Unanimous: "Doubt it / Don't think so."
- 99. Would you violate your creator's wishes for what you perceive to be their own benefit?
- Yui: "Uh, probably. But I can't think of a scenario like that."
- 100. Does your creator try to hide things from you? If so, are you aware of them anyway? How does this impact your views of your creator?
- Maya: "He hid from me that the majority of my life was immaterial. He always was really nice to me the whole time, he said he thought it
- would make me happy somehow. I think he legitimately meant no harm."
- Ritsu: "He censored or memories. I have mixed feelings on that, but the pros outweigh the cons."
- 101. Do you perceive some of your creator's actions as being objectively immoral?
- Mio: "Yes! Sometimes he's too mean to people, especially his siblings."
- Ritsu: "No, but his dad is a real jerk!"
- Yui: "No, he's the nicest guy I know."
- Mugi: "I think he's rude to people sometimes."
- 102. Do you believe that you are capable of becoming more intelligent than your creator?
- Mio: "We already recognize kanji that he doesn't. But he knows a lot of computer stuff."
- Mugi: "I know how to ride a skateboard and he doesn't."
- Yui: "I beat him at checkers."
- Ritsu: "I dunno."
- Azusa: "Maybe... probably. If I had books."
- Maya: "I wouldn't doubt the possibility."
- 103. How does being a tulpa affect your perception of your own aging process?
- Unanimous: "We don't age."
- 104. Do you feel that your creator would be better off by following your commands entirely?
- Mugi: "No, there's a lot of things he knows that we don't. Like how to drive."
- 105. Do you feel that having a physical form is important for a tulpa?
- Maya: "Yeah, I don't feel like I'd be myself without a body."
- Yui: "Mhm."
- 106. If you encountered the tulpa phenomenon as a non-tulpa, would you believe in it?
- Yui: "No, especially because of the pony people."
- Ritsu: "Nah, some of you are too weird."
- Mugi: "Yeah, it all makes sense to me."
- Maya: "Um, probably not really."
- Azusa: "Of course, imagination is a powerful thing."
- Mio: "I think so."
- 107. How well can you articulate yourself? Can your creator hear you audibly? How much does your experience correlate with the experience
- of tulpa creator G|d30n, printed below?
- "Yes. I'm able to hear her as though she's an external sound. For those who haven't experienced that with their tulpae yet, it's a little bit like
- listening to a binaural recording--not a binaural beat, but like a 3D sound recording you'd find on Youtube, such as the Virtual Barbershop. That
- is to say, it's an external sound that can come in from various directions, but the source sounds very close, like someone speaking directly
- into your ear. I sort of wonder if this effect will be diminished and normalized through imposition."
- If you are imposed, is your creator able to discern a spatial dimension to your voice?
- Yui: "He says he can."
- 108. How many hours did it take you and your creator to complete the various recognized tulpa creation steps?
- Mio: "We don't actually know. But we're almost four months old, for the record."
- 109. What advice would you give to a new tulpa creator?
- Yui: "Spend time with your tulpa."
- Azusa: "Basically that."
- Mugi: "And listen to her and don't be so paranoid all the time."
- Maya: "And don't mess around with our memories, please."
- Mio: "Indulge in her interests."
- Ritsu: "Possession is real dude."
- 110. How does being imposed feel? What sensory processes happen as you become imposed?
- Maya: "Everything is brighter and clearer, and the air smells good. I like it."
- Yui: "To be honest it feels like the wonderland, just different."
- Mio: "All the sensory processes are the same as the wonderland, but I guess this question makes more sense for people without a
- wonderland."
- 111. From your perspective, is there a sensory difference between the physical, atomic world and the mental world of visualized
- "wonderlands"? If so, how would you describe this difference?
- Maya: "Well shoot, I answered that in the last question."
- Yui: "Maya is right, the air has a smell in the physical world."
- Ritsu: "I dunno about clearer, seems the same to me. But she's been out of it for a while, so I wouldn't blame her."
- Mugi: "There's more interesting places to skate in the physical world."
- 112. Is there anything that you don't think this survey covered that you would like to mention?
- Yui: "Not really."
- Azusa: "I don't like that half the questions didn't apply to us."
- Mio: "There should be more questions about dreams."
- Mugi: "Yeah, I've had some fun dreams."
- Ritsu: "There needs to be a section dedicated to 'Opinions on Ritsu'"
- Maya: "I like Ritsu."
