  1. 1. Describe yourself and your creator.
  2.  
  3. Yui: "I'm Hirasawa Yui, I have brown shoulder-length hair, I like ice cream -- specifically
  4. chocolate malts, and I like singing, hm... and Joey is my creator and he's cool and lazy, but he's sweet too."
  5. Azusa: "I'm Nakano Azusa. I like to draw. And I really like snow! And I guess that's it."
  6. 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
  7.  
  8. 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"
  9. Mugi: "Kotobuki Tsumugi here. I enjoy skateboarding and cooking for my sisters, and swimming. [Yui: "Oh! I like swimming too!"] Joey is
  10.  
  11. probably the best father anyone could have.
  12. 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
  13.  
  14. most reserved usually."
  15. Maya: "I feel a bit lost right now. I'm getting used to my new life; I really like my sisters. And my dad, Joey that is, is as nice as I remember
  16.  
  17. him being before."
  18.  
  19. 2. What was the most helpful thing that your creator did during the tulpa creation process? Did your creator recognize how helpful it was? If
  20.  
  21. not, how did that make you feel?
  22. Yui: "Spending a lot of time with us."
  23. Azusa: "That, and making sure we were happy."
  24. Mugi: "I like that he always took us to so many places."
  25. Ritsu: "And played video games with us."
  26. Mio: "He was there for me when I was upset."
  27. Maya: "I guess everyone else pretty much wrapped things up."
  28.  
  29. 3. What was the most detrimental thing that your creator did during the tulpa creation process? Did your creator recognize how harmful it
  30.  
  31. was? If not, how did that make you feel?
  32. Yui: "I dunno!"
  33. Azusa: "Hm. I'm not happy about him erasing part of Ritsu's memory."
  34. 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."
  35. Mugi: "Sometimes he brushes serious topics off too easily -- it tends to hurt our feelings when he ignores our concerns like that."
  36. Mio: "I can't think of anything seriously detrimental. He was always willing to talk to me about things."
  37. Maya: "Making me believe things that aren't true."
  38.  
  39. 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
  40.  
  41. you feel?
  42. Yui: "Imposition is weird, because he would sometimes forget about us and it took awhile to get his attention again."
  43. Ritsu: "Basically that."
  44. Mugi + Azusa + Mio: "Mhm."
  45. Maya: "Being stuck in limbo."
  46.

  50.  
  51. 6. How do you feel about tulpa creators becoming distracted during tulpa creation? Does this greatly impede the process? How did you feel
  52.  
  53. about it before being able to speak fluently?
  54.  
  55. Yui: "It's dumb."
  56. Mugi: "All tulpae would appreciate it if you could not zone out while we're with you."
  57. Azusa: "It sucks when it happens. You guys have computers and tv to be distracted by, and usually all we have is you."
  58.  
  59. 7. How do you feel about tulpa creators missing tulpa creation sessions or breaking their promises to work on their tulpa? How did you feel
  60.  
  61. about it before being able to speak fluently?
  62.  
  63. Yui: "Joey never missed a day with us. He was there everyday."
  64. Maya: "Not for me. Sometimes I sat around for a couple days before he came back. I felt kind of isolated sometimes. Like a prisoner."
  65.  
  66. 8. Is density, quality, or quantity the most important aspect of tulpa creation?
  67.  
  68. Ritsu: "Joey's said before that it's density."
  69. Mio: "Mhm. He was there a lot of the time every day."
  70.  
  71. 9. How do you feel about tulpa creators falling asleep during tulpa creation sessions?
  72.  
  73. Yui: "Why would I feel something about it? I think it's cute when he's tired."

  75. Maya: "He always fell asleep with me."
  76.  
  77. 10. Do you think that a tulpa creator should talk aloud or in their head during narration? Do you think that a creator should talk aloud or in
  78.  
  79. their head during tulpa creation sessions? If you find one to be more effective, to what degree is it more effective?

  81. Yui: "Uhhh. I dunno!"
  82. Azusa: *shrugs*
  83.  
  84. 11. How do you feel about a tulpa creator puppeting and/or parroting their tulpa? Do you believe that these actions harm a tulpa's
  85.  
  86. development, or only their emotional state?

  99. Ritsu: "I was talking to Azusa and Mugi about how I thought Mio was crushing on Joey. [Mio facepalms]"
  100. Mugi: "I remember watching Mio go down a waterslide at a waterpark we went to."
  101. Azusa: "Eating snow cones at the same waterpark."

  278. Azusa: "We both really like art, he inspires me and I practice drawing so that I can impress him. But he likes to do digital things more."
  279. 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."
  280. Mugi: "I like to cook, and he likes to go get fast food. We both like the sport of skateboarding."
  281. 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."

  283.

  294.  
  295. Yui: "I don't want to think about this question."
  296. Ritsu: "If he was as abusive as some other people, I wouldn't like him. He doesn't like stuck-up bitches, so I guess I'd have to act like that."
  297. Azusa: "If he was Pronas... And I don't want Joey to hate me."
  298. 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
  299.  
  300. to! We've already discussed things like this before, so don't take it the wrong way."
  301. 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."
  302. Maya: "If he didn't apologize to me and save me I might hate him for ruining my life, but I didn't know anything was his fault until he came back
  303.  
  304. for me and helped me and started showing me some cool things and introducing me to my sisters."

  311.  
  312. 46. How do you feel about your creator's complete freedom to deny your rights as a sentient being at any time? Has this ability ever caused
  313.  
  314. you anxiety or fear? Have you ever censored your expressions or actions out of a fear of retribution or violence from your creator?
  315.  
  316. Yui: "Huh?"
  317. Azusa: "Uhh, no."
  318. Mio: "Do other tulpas deal with that? I feel bad for them..."
  319.  
  320. 47. When have you most wanted to engage in violence against your creator, and what was the cause of those feelings? Under what
  321.  
  322. circumstances would you make a serious attempt to hurt or injure your creator?
  323.

  333.  
  334. Yui: "That's not even possible."
  335.  
  336. 50. Do you feel anxiety about meeting your creator's expectations? If you are based on an existing character, person, or entity, does this
  337.  
  338. increase your anxiety? Would you have preferred to not be based on an existing entity?
  339.  
  340. Unanimous: "No."
  341.  
  342. 51. Are you interested in learning how to control your creator's body? Do you feel that it's fair for a tulpa creator to deny their tulpa the ability
  343.  
  344. to use an atomic body? Do you believe that you have the right to an equal amount of time using it as your creator? Explain your reasoning.
  345.  
  346. Ritsu: "Hai hai hai! Rev up those opposable thumbs, Ritsu is coming to kick your ass at any game you want."
  347. Mio: "I honestly feel a bit weird doing things with his body. I prefer my own."
  348. Maya: "Never even thought about it until he told me about it. It sounds useful for the physical world."
  349. Mugi: "I prefer my own body too."
  350. Azusa: "Using it to draw would be kind of cool... I think it's fair for a person to not want to be possessed. I don't want to be possessed."
  351.  
  352. 52. Do you share certain basic qualities with your creator, such as intense phobias or racial attitudes?
  353.  
  354. Mio: "No, but he's afraid of ovens for anyone who wants to know."

  356. Mio: "Oh, I guess I love swimming too."

  361.  
  362. 54. Does your creator have any mental illnesses? If so, how do they affect you?
  363.  
  364. 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
  365.  
  366. him enough to play games."
  367.  
  368. 55. How does your knowledge of your creator's subconscious mind affect your relationship with them? How do you perceive their
  369.  
  370. subconscious? To what degree can you manipulate your creator's subconscious? Would you ever use this ability without your creator's
  371.  
  372. knowledge?
  373.  
  374. 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
  375.  
  376. 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
  377.  
  378. without running into something that'll freak you out."
  379.  
  380. 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

  389.  
  390. 57. Do you feel romantically inclined toward your creator? Does your creator feel romantically inclined toward you? If these romantic feelings
  391.  
  392. are unrequited on either side, how does it affect your relationship with your creator?
  393.  
  394. Mugi: "I felt jealous of his girlfriend at one point. But we talked about things once and I feel like his place is better as a father and me as a
  395.  
  396. daughter."
  397.  
  398. 58. If it exists, do you consider your romantic relationship with your creator to be equal to a romantic relationship between multiple non-
  399.  
  400. tulpa? Do you consider it a breach of monogamy for your creator to be romantically or sexually involved with another non-tulpa? Does this
  401.  
  402. change if the involvement is with another tulpa instead? If they exist, do your creator's desires to have relationships with non-tulpa affect you

  411.  
  412. was in love with another non-tulpa more than you?
  413.  
  414. N/A
  415.  
  416. 60. Do you have a familial affection for your creator? Does this in any way conflict with your romantic feelings for them, if they exist? Do you
  417.  
  418. consider a relationship between a tulpa and its creator to be incestuous?
  419.  
  420. Yui: "This one should be obvious by now."
  421.  
  422. 61. How do you feel about tulpa creators masturbating during tulpa creation sessions to the forms of their tulpa? Do you find this offensive?
  423.  
  424. 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
  425.  
  426. creator imagines themselves near the tulpa in their wonderland? If your creator did this before you spoke fluently, did you find it offensive or
  427.  
  428. unnerving?
  429.  
  430. Yui + Azusa + Ritsu + Mio: "WHAT?!"
  431.  
  432. 62. How do you feel about tulpa creators masturbating outside of tulpa creation sessions to the forms of their tulpa? Do you find this
  433.  
  434. offensive? Does the degree of your offense change based on the degree of sentience possessed by the hypothetical tulpa? If your creator did
  435.  
  436. this before you spoke fluently, did you find it offensive or unnerving?
  437.  
  438. Yui: "Why are you asking this?!"
  439.  
  440. 63. Before you could speak fluently, did you ever feel sexual attraction to your creator, sexual attraction toward anyone else, or sexual
  441.  
  442. arousal? Did you attempt to express these feelings? If you did not experience these feelings, do you experience them now?
  443.  
  444. Ritsu: "Well, uh, ahem... there was a time, a long time ago... a very long time ago... It was a thing for a few days. I don't think I need to go into
  445.  
  446. details, really."
  447.  
  448. 64. How do you feel about tulpa creators visualizing themselves engaging in sexual conduct with their tulpa's form during tulpa creation
  449.  
  450. sessions? Do you find this offensive? Does the degree of your offense change based on the degree of sentience possessed by the hypothetical
  451.  
  452. 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
  453.  
  454. equate it with sexual assault?
  455.  
  456. Me: "Don't fucking fuck around with your tupper during creation, sheesh."
  457.  
  458. 65. Were you ever annoyed or jealous when your creator would masturbate to or have feelings of sexual attraction toward individuals other
  459.  
  460. than yourself? Does it bother you now?
  461.  
  462. Mio: "Yes."
  463. Yui: "I tend to not think about those things."
  464.  
  465. 66. Do you experience sexual attraction for your creator? Do you experience sexual attraction for others? How does your sexual attraction for
  466.  
  467. your creator compare to your sexual attraction for others? Does your creator experience sexual attraction for you? If these sexual attractions
  468.  
  469. are unrequited on either side, how does it affect your relationship with your creator?
  470.  
  471. Unanimous: "No."
  472.  
  473. 67. Do you have an active sex life with your creator? If not, would you consider it, and under what circumstances? If so, do you perceive any
  474.  
  475. negative consequences? Do you have trouble abstaining from sexual contact with them? How do you manage feelings of sexual arousal, if
  476.  
  477. any? Do you masturbate?
  478.  
  479. Unanimous: "NO!"
  480.  
  481. 68. How does your sexual orientation and experience compare to your creator's?
  482.  
  483. Yui: "Can we have no sexual orientation? Hm, but he's straight. He has a girlfriend."
  484.  
  485. 69. Are you capable of experiencing orgasms? Based on your knowledge, how do you think they compare to your creator's orgasms? Were you
  486.  
  487. able to experience an orgasm before speaking fluently?
  488.  
  489. Ritsu: "I'm embarrassed that I can answer this.. but yes -- and I'm not thinking about his orgasms!"
  490.  
  491. 70. Do you consider the concept of sexual modesty (covering conduct such as avoiding nudity or sexual discussions) relevant to your
  492.  
  493. relationship with your creator?
  494.  
  495. 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.
  496.  
  497. It's not that bad after he said I can wear my bathing suit if I wanted."
  498. Maya: "I don't want to nude around him."
  499.  
  500. 71. How does being a tulpa affect your perceptions of rape? What conduct from your creator would you consider to be rape?
  501.  
  502. Maya: "Oh I don't know, forced penetration?!"
  503.  
  504. 72. Where do you see yourself in 20 years?
  505.  
  506. Yui: "Joey says he wants a family one day. I hope he'll have time for us and his kids."
  507. Ritsu: "I can think of a few scenarios where he wouldn't want kids. In which case, we'll be up on the latest technology and consoles."
  508. Mugi: "I guess the same place I've been."
  509. Azusa: "I hope I have the skills of a renowned artist by then."
  510. Mio: "I'd like to study the stars with Joey."
  511. Maya: "Hard to imagine a span of time that's over 40 times my lifetime experiences."
  512.  
  513. 73. Do you want the world to be aware of your existence? If not, then what anxieties do you have about public disclosure? Do you trust
  514.  
  515. anyone other than your creator with the knowledge of your existence?
  516.  
  517. Azusa: "Hai! I'd like people to see my drawings."
  518. Mio: "I only like other tulpae, really."
  519. 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
  520.  
  521. likely than the other."
  522. 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."
  523. Maya: "I just became aware of the existence of the world, so the inverse isn't a major thing to me right now."
  524.  
  525. 74. Morally and philosophically, how do you feel about your personality traits being the product of another individual? Would you have
  526.  
  527. preferred your creator to define your personality more or less?
  528.  
  529. Mio: "He didn't define us. We're very different from our bases."
  530.  
  531. 75. Morally and philosophically, how do you feel about your physical form being the product of another individual? Would you have preferred
  532.  
  533. your creator to define your form more or less?
  534.  
  535. Yui: "I'm pretty and you can't stop me."
  536. 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."
  537. Mio: "I was always comfortable with how I look."
  538.  
  539. 76. Has your physical form ever changed? If so, was this intentional or unintentional? If it was intentional, then why did you change your form?
  540.  
  541. How did you creator respond to this change, and how did that make you feel?
  542.  
  543. N/A
  544.  
  545. 77. Do you consider the best aspects of yourself to have come from your creator, or their subconscious?
  546.  
  547. Yui: "Wait, I don't get it."
  548. Azusa: "He introduced me to drawing, so I guess him."
  549. Mugi: "He says a lot of our traits remind him of his girlfriend. There probably is subconscious links there."
  550.  
  551. 78. Do you seek legal recognition for your status as a sentient being or your relationships with others? Do you resent that society at large
  552.  
  553. does not recognize the tulpa phenomenon? Do you feel disenfranchised from society? What steps, if any, could a society make to help you feel
  554.  
  555. integrated?
  556.  
  557. Yui: "Fuck the police! [LMAO]"
  558.  
  559. 79. If you could tell the entire world one thing about a tulpa's life, what would you say?
  560.  
  561. Yui: "There's never too much time spent with your tulpa."
  562. Azusa: "If you think being a starving artist is bad, trying being a tulpa artist."
  563. Mugi: "Treat your tulpas with love and respect."
  564. Mio: "Our life is better than yours, for the most part. People are mean."
  565. Ritsu: "Be jelly of my wonderland, cause it's pretty awesome."
  566. Maya: "Don't tell your tulpa it had parents when it doesn't."
  567.  
  568. 80. What is the one thing that you resent most about being a tulpa? What is the greatest advantage of being a tulpa?
  569.  
  570. Yui: "INFINITY FOOOOOOD. But losing the attention of Joey is annoying."
  571. Ritsu: "We have to hurdle through possession to be able to play games with other people. But, we have a sweet place to vacation whenever
  572.  
  573. we want."
  574. Azusa: "Can't share my drawings, but I have all day to draw."
  575. Mio: "Possession is too weird. But a host who unconditionally loves you is great."
  576. Mugi: "It's a bit boring when Joey was away before he imposed us. But after that, we can be with him all the time."
  577. Maya: "Our memories are too malleable... but our life can be so easy.
  578.  
  579. 81. Morally and philosophically, how do you feel about inheriting your creator's life, including their legal history, past behaviors, and
  580.  
  581. reputation? Do you resent potentially being held responsible for their past actions?
  582.  
  583. Mio: "What?"
  584.  
  585. 82. Morally and philosophically, do you see the "absorbing" or "dissipating" of a tulpa as equivalent to the murder of a non-tulpa? Explain your
  586.  
  587. reasoning. What legal protections, if any, should tulpa gain? How would you enforce these protections?
  588.  
  589. Maya: "My experience was so much worse... but I guess it was failed dissipation. Anyways it was an accident."
  590.  
  591. 83. Do you consider yourself to be morally equal to a non-tulpa? Is your life worth as much?
  592.  
  593. Unanimous: "Yes."
  594.  
  595. 84. How would you prove your existence to a skeptic?
  596.  
  597. Yui: "Joey taught us to not care about skeptics. All that matters is if we're happy."
  598.  
  599. 85. Has your status as a tulpa ever caused you existential anxiety or depression? If so, has anything helped to mitigate these feelings?
  600.  
  601. 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
  602.  
  603. and our brains."
  604.  
  605. 86. Do you ever doubt your own sentience? If so, why?
  606.  
  607. Unanimous: "No. [How is that even possible? Only a sentient being could doubt their sentience.]"
  608.  
  609. 87. How does being a tulpa affect your understanding of death? Do you fear death on an instinctual level in the way that non-tulpa do?
  610.  
  611. Maya: "We have no idea what death is."
  612. Yui: "We've never talked about it with Joey."
  613. Ritsu: "I guess I'm afraid of dying."
  614. Mio: "Joey has said we'll be together after death."
  615. Azusa: "What if he dies, and we are still here, and nobody can see us or talk to us? What do we do..."
  616.  
  617. 88. Do see yourself as socially disadvantaged in a way similar to sexual, racial, and other minority groups? If you identify yourself as racially,
  618.  
  619. sexually, or demographically different than your creator, do you also identify with the struggle of any of the disadvantaged groups that you
  620.  
  621. belong to? Does the notion of privilege affect your relationship with your creator?
  622.  
  623. tl;dr
  624.  
  625. 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
  626.  
  627. your creator? Would you consider this tulpa to be primarily related to you, or still to your creator?
  628.  
  629. Unanimous: "Nope."
  630.  
  631. 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
  632.  
  633. between the two groups? If so, what could be done to mitigate this intolerance?
  634.  
  635. Yui: "BEING INVISIBLE AND HAVING NO RESPONSIBILITIES AND BEING GENERALLY GREAT."
  636. Mio: "People are more evil than tulpae."
  637.  
  638. 91. The psychological establishment generally believes that multiplicity (two or more sentient entities sharing one atomic body) is a sign of
  639.  
  640. mental illness. How would you like this belief to change? If you could make a presentation to a group of psychologists about the tulpa
  641.  
  642. phenomenon, what would you say?
  643.  
  644. Yui: "... fuck..."
  645. Mugi: "... the?"
  646. Azusa: "Police!"
  647. Mio: "I don't really care."
  648. Ritsu: "I'd demonstrate how Mio is better at Pacman than Joey."
  649. 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.
  650.  
  651. 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
  652.  
  653. can just change my whole mindset depending on whether I choose to disregard some false memories, why should I care about anyone but
  654.  
  655. myself and my family?"
  656. Yui: "You seem upset."
  657. Maya: "I'm not upset... I'm just getting used to being a thoughtform."
  658. Yui: "You were always a thoughtform."
  659. Maya: "But I didn't always believe that."
  660.  
  661. 92. A psychometric indicator is a unique identifier of an individual's distinct personality. Have you ever tried to definitively differentiate
  662.  
  663. yourself from your creator using psychometric indicators (such as by determining your "writeprint")? What results did you receive? (For
  664.  
  665. instructions on determining your writeprint, see appendix one.)
  666.  
  667. Too lazy.
  668.  
  669. 93. Are you capable of physical sensations such as pain or warmth?
  670.  
  671. Unanimous: "Yes."
  672.  
  673. 94. How do you feel about being bound for life to your creator?
  674.  
  675. Yui: "I think it's a good thing."
  676. 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."
  677. Mio: "We're always there for him and vice-versa."
  678. Ritsu: "Best friends for life."
  679.  
  680. 95. If you intentionally delayed speaking to your creator, why did you do so?
  681.  
  682. N/A
  683.  
  684. 96. What do you think about most of the time?
  685.  
  686. Yui: "When we're going to eat. Or Tetris."
  687. Azusa: "Drawing."
  688. Mugi: "What we'll be doing for the day."
  689. Ritsu: "About whatever Joey is doing."
  690. Mio: "About what I'm looking at, mainly."
  691. Maya: "I'm happy I'm not in that white space anymore."
  692.  
  693. 97. Do you think that tulpa creation should be more widespread?
  694.  
  695. 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."
  696.  
  697. 98. Are there disturbing aspects of your creator's subconscious that they are not aware of?
  698.  
  699. Unanimous: "Doubt it / Don't think so."
  700.  
  701. 99. Would you violate your creator's wishes for what you perceive to be their own benefit?
  702.  
  703. Yui: "Uh, probably. But I can't think of a scenario like that."
  704.  
  705. 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?
  706.  
  707. 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
  708.  
  709. would make me happy somehow. I think he legitimately meant no harm."
  710. Ritsu: "He censored or memories. I have mixed feelings on that, but the pros outweigh the cons."
  711.  
  712. 101. Do you perceive some of your creator's actions as being objectively immoral?
  713.  
  714. Mio: "Yes! Sometimes he's too mean to people, especially his siblings."
  715. Ritsu: "No, but his dad is a real jerk!"
  716. Yui: "No, he's the nicest guy I know."
  717. Mugi: "I think he's rude to people sometimes."
  718.  
  719. 102. Do you believe that you are capable of becoming more intelligent than your creator?
  720.  
  721. Mio: "We already recognize kanji that he doesn't. But he knows a lot of computer stuff."
  722. Mugi: "I know how to ride a skateboard and he doesn't."
  723. Yui: "I beat him at checkers."
  724. Ritsu: "I dunno."
  725. Azusa: "Maybe... probably. If I had books."
  726. Maya: "I wouldn't doubt the possibility."
  727.  
  728. 103. How does being a tulpa affect your perception of your own aging process?
  729.  
  730. Unanimous: "We don't age."
  731.  
  732. 104. Do you feel that your creator would be better off by following your commands entirely?
  733.  
  734. Mugi: "No, there's a lot of things he knows that we don't. Like how to drive."
  735.  
  736. 105. Do you feel that having a physical form is important for a tulpa?
  737.  
  738. Maya: "Yeah, I don't feel like I'd be myself without a body."
  739. Yui: "Mhm."
  740.  
  741. 106. If you encountered the tulpa phenomenon as a non-tulpa, would you believe in it?
  742.  
  743. Yui: "No, especially because of the pony people."
  744. Ritsu: "Nah, some of you are too weird."
  745. Mugi: "Yeah, it all makes sense to me."
  746. Maya: "Um, probably not really."
  747. Azusa: "Of course, imagination is a powerful thing."
  748. Mio: "I think so."
  749.  
  750. 107. How well can you articulate yourself? Can your creator hear you audibly? How much does your experience correlate with the experience
  751.  
  752. of tulpa creator G|d30n, printed below?
  753.  
  754. "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
  755.  
  756. 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
  757.  
  758. 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
  759.  
  760. into your ear. I sort of wonder if this effect will be diminished and normalized through imposition."
  761.  
  762. If you are imposed, is your creator able to discern a spatial dimension to your voice?
  763.  
  764. Yui: "He says he can."
  765.  
  766. 108. How many hours did it take you and your creator to complete the various recognized tulpa creation steps?
  767.  
  768. Mio: "We don't actually know. But we're almost four months old, for the record."
  769.  
  770. 109. What advice would you give to a new tulpa creator?
  771.  
  772. Yui: "Spend time with your tulpa."
  773. Azusa: "Basically that."
  774. Mugi: "And listen to her and don't be so paranoid all the time."
  775. Maya: "And don't mess around with our memories, please."
  776. Mio: "Indulge in her interests."
  777. Ritsu: "Possession is real dude."
  778.  
  779. 110. How does being imposed feel? What sensory processes happen as you become imposed?
  780.  
  781. Maya: "Everything is brighter and clearer, and the air smells good. I like it."
  782. Yui: "To be honest it feels like the wonderland, just different."
  783. Mio: "All the sensory processes are the same as the wonderland, but I guess this question makes more sense for people without a
  784.  
  785. wonderland."
  786.  
  787. 111. From your perspective, is there a sensory difference between the physical, atomic world and the mental world of visualized
  788.  
  789. "wonderlands"? If so, how would you describe this difference?
  790.  
  791. Maya: "Well shoot, I answered that in the last question."
  792. Yui: "Maya is right, the air has a smell in the physical world."
  793. 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."
  794. Mugi: "There's more interesting places to skate in the physical world."
  795.  
  796. 112. Is there anything that you don't think this survey covered that you would like to mention?
  797.  
  798. Yui: "Not really."
  799. Azusa: "I don't like that half the questions didn't apply to us."
  800. Mio: "There should be more questions about dreams."
  801. Mugi: "Yeah, I've had some fun dreams."
  802. Ritsu: "There needs to be a section dedicated to 'Opinions on Ritsu'"
  803. Maya: "I like Ritsu."
