Scratch

It sounds interesting but

also sort of scary I guess

At first I had thought it was a cross between a Tuba and a Tulip before I opened this thread    Reading about it now.

Well, I've been pretty good at making myself think that things aren't there when they are (I practice with the posters on the walls in my room, since all I have to do is picture a purple splotch instead of the poster and convince myself that's what I see). I imagine seeing thing instead of making things go away might be a little more difficult but it's something I'm willing to work on

And every once in a while I'll conjure up the idea of Charlemagne's scent again just to remind myself. Maybe it'd help to find something that actually smells like I imagine him to, for practicing? I dunno

I've been doing sketches of how I picture him also

But yes, you did give me the idea xP

I'm going to try to make one

I really wish you best of luck, I think the article I posted might have some other information + resources for aiding your creation/keeping up with it (+ you have me and jukyter here, though I've got to wait 3 minutes between posts!). It's all fairly difficult and can take a while to fully accomplish but I think it's kind of fun somehow :p

I really just kind of see it as a game, like "How real can you make Charlemagne?" that I test my imagination's strength with (So I don't think I'm crazy)

((also i dislike my tulpa so im going to make a new one ): )

i might try irish's guide instead

Oh I've heard about this.    It's very interesting but I don't have the time, interest and perhaps the mindpower to create one. I'd be stumped at the list of traits part.

I used to imagine that there was a cartoon series in my head.

So is that a tupla?

No. The "in my head" part totally ruins it. For it to be a "tulpa," you have to fully convince yourself that you are seeing, hearing, smelling, and feeling the being. Like you can see them walk across the room, and you can smell them and feel them hold your hand. Much more than a cartoon going on in your head, it's a person (or animal or object, because apparently people make that kind of tulpa...) going on in your life

I could see it everytime I fell asleep, but not the others.

It was like a different episode every time I fell asleep - and it was self-enforced.

I feel like I would probably get annoyed with this guy/person/thing/ghost (???)

it seems kind of weird to call it a tulpa
like, tulpas are by definition something that is not real that you convince yourself is
so by calling it one, you're basically admitting that it's not real and you're just tricking yourself
