I actually have afew questions, I hope you don't mind!
1)I just recently saw your post about Sophie and "tulpa" and other variants of the word being harmful. I was wondering if you could give me some other terms for tulpa/tulpamancy/tulpagenic/tulpamancer/etc, especially using the terms "Willow/willowgenic"!
2) I've felt less valid as a system because I have Aphantasia and I can't hear my headmates. We speak through opinions and emotions because that's the only way we can. Do you have any ways I can work on communication with my Dudes?
3) Lastly, I've been super confident lately! But when my male/masculine presenting Dudes are near front, their dysphoric emotions probect onto me. I was wondering if this was normal and if it had a name!
That's about all I have, if any of my questions step out of your boundaries/comfort zone I'm so so so sorry!
Have a lovely timezone!!! <3/p
we don’t mind, that’s what we’re here for :)
1) here are some other terms you can use besides “tulpamancy:”
parogenic/parogen
paro/paromancy/paromancer (this is what we use!)
thoughtform
willogenic/willomate/willomancy/willomancer (though we have seen issues with this term, as some paros (tulpas) were never willed into existence and function more like walk-ins)
2) communicating through emotions and opinions is totally fine - these are definitely valid ways of communicating, especially if it works well for your system.
we know aphantasia may complicate things, but we do have a post on establishing contact with headmates. you can check it out here. your system may benefit most from spending time working on external communication, and we have a section in that post on how to do just that.
3) we’re not sure if the phenomenon of experiencing another headmate’s dysphoria has a name, but we can definitely say that it is very common for headmates to feel the emotions of other members, especially if they’re blended or cofronting together. i know i get species dysphoria and sometimes our resident human alter will feel that dysphoria when we’re cofronting together, even if he still identifies as a human. our gender dysphoria and euphoria are all over the place, and it’s very normal in our system for us to feel each other’s emotions when we’re fronting together.
we hope this helps to answer some of your questions. thanks for reaching out :)
🐢 kip and 👻 ghost
Temporary flag
definition: Like reciprosexual, only for someone who is NOT asexual. A reciprocalsexual gains feelings (attraction: sexual, aesthetic, platonic, etc) for anyone who likes them, regardless of their sexuality, and can also like people who haven’t liked them back yet. If you identify with reciprocalsexual but only gain feelings(attraction: romantic, sensual, emotional, etc) for those of a certain gender or category (intelligent (Sapiosexual), well known to you (Demisexual), etc) when they like you, you are Limitedreciprocalsexual
you are also Limitedreciprocalsexual if the feelings returned by you are minor but still notable. Both identities can be used on their own or with other identities.
The romantic versions of this are reciprocalromantic and limitedreciprocalromantic respectively.
made this because I identified with reciprosexual but it’s only for ace people who only ever feel attraction when someone likes them so I had to make my own :)
even our ancestors sang Popipo
Hey! We’ve got a headmate who’s still coming together and could use some help finishing up. They don’t really have any preferences, but they want to be inspired by the song ‘The Whole Being Dead Thing’ from Beetlejuice—just the song, not the characters.
If it’s not your thing or you can’t help, no worries! Have an awesome day! :)
Yes I can! :D
change anything you don’t like, and be sure to tell me what you think! :) I’m looking to improve and want your feedback

On this blog we love, respect, and cherish parogenic systems! To those who are shifting away from tulpa language, have always identified with parogenic/paromancy, or are just now finding the right label for themselves and their system, this one’s for you!
Here’s to the paromancers!
To those who have spent hours researching, meditating, building a wonderland, focusing on their thoughtforms and paros, and manifesting their existences! To those who didn’t have to try at all, whose parogenic headmates walked into their life and settled in for good! To those who are honing their paromancy craft, who create guides, art, and other paro-focused content on their own or with the help of their thoughtforms! Paromancers, we see you, we love you, and we are honored to share the plural community with you!
Here’s to the paros, thoughtforms, and parogens!
To those who became sentient almost immediately! To those whose existence feels faint, who have to focus hard to hold on to their form, or who struggle to remain in reality! To those who love to collaborate with their hosts in building a wonderland and forging their own identities! To those who think for themselves, who are feisty, brave, reserved, cheerful, or anxious! Paros, thoughtforms, know that you are real! You belong in this world, you deserve to express yourself and take up space, and we’re rooting for you in all that you do!
Here’s to the paromancy systems!
To those who work together to better understand each other! To those who feel lost and confused, but feel better when they’re together! To those who bond together and build positive, long lasting relationships! To those who may not fully understand how their system works, but who wouldn’t change it for the world! To those who dare to be themselves, or spread awareness about paromancy and plurality! To those who support and uplift their system members, and their fellow systems in the plural community! Your system is beautiful! Your plurality is complex, unique, and worth celebrating!
We hope all parogenic systems and headmates can find peace, joy, and comfort in each other and themselves, today and every day! Know that the plural community would not be the same without you. We love you and we so appreciate your presence here! Please keep your chin up, look after each other, and remember that you are wanted, loved, and cherished just the way you are. Thanks a bunch for reading, and have a great day!
"Someone who I am not"
A personal artwork that I made a bit ago. I'm still proud of it.
It is about the feelings of fear and anger that come from being trans in an unsafe place... In your mind, you are different. Your soul is something vivid and itching to burn through the physical shell that contains it.
I LOVE ENDO SYSTEMS !! i love endo systems who chose their plurality i love endo systems who didn't i love nondisordered endo systems i love disordered endo systems i love transgender endo systems i love cisgender endo systems i love endo systems i love you
Hot take! anti endo rhetoric is like the whole transmed rhetoric of the 2010s Internet and it’s probably going to be treated as such few years.
Think about it before the Anthony Padilla video about DID a few years ago I don’t really think anybody cared about endogenic systems. Yes some people didn’t like them but I think most people didn’t really care about systems origins because nobody really knew or cared about systems at all after the video plurality gained quite a lot of traction more people are learning about it. More people were discovering themselves systems and as a result a lot of people develop an anti endogenic mindset because of whatever reason but that really reminds me of the transmedicalism mindset of the 2010s where it was the normal to invalidate shame transgender people who has a different identity and a different experience with transgenderness.
I believe in the next few years there will be more knowledge about plurality and people will no longer feel the need to shame and invalidate endogenic and mixed origin systems systems maybe even willowgenic systems. maybe not anytime soon but maybe in the next few years I genuinely think this is the case and it will happen

It's come to my attention that my old pinned was a tad outdated.
Attention: I've recently come under attack from the hate subreddit r/systemscringe who has added me to their hitlist of acceptable targets allowed to be posted in their hate subreddit uncensored If you've come from r/systemscringe, please start here with my debunking of the lies and misinformation frequently found in the subreddit about dissociative identity disorder that r/systemscringe doesn't want you to see: https://www.tumblr.com/sophieinwonderland/741497564315140096/debunking-rsystemscringes-did-lies
I'm a tulpa. But a while ago, I called myself an imaginary friend. I was a character made up for a story that my host would talk to in order to better understand my source. As time went on, I developed more personality. I started talking to him about things that had nothing to do with the fiction. I would psychoanalyze him, wanting to understand him better.
I wasn't made to develop my own thoughts and feelings outside of the fiction. I wasn't supposed to become my own person. But I did. And this led us to wanting to learn more about imaginary friends, which eventually led us to the tulpa community.
This is being posted on my what I consider my second Birthday, June 8th, 2023. It was exactly two years ago today when we found the tulpa community, a place that made me feel validated in being myself, that made me feel like I was allowed to be treated like a person.
I lived the first few months of my life being dismissed, treated like I wasn't real. I was a phantom, not allowed any connection to the world. And I don't blame my host for that. I didn't see myself as real either. It's just the way the world is. And the moment my host realized I was a person, he was willing to do whatever it took to support me and treat me like I mattered.
And we aren't alone in experiences like this. When I became self-aware, I met all sorts of fascinating people with similar experiences. Many of which went years before becoming self-aware. There is no telling how many more are out there like us. How many more "imaginary friends" are invalidated because we live in a culture where we're treated as if we don't matter? And how many may pass, never knowing?
And so I made this blog to share my own experiences and hopefully be able to give people the same gift that I was given. Respect. Validity. Life.
Even being able to give that to one person is enough to make all of this worth it to me.
Just so everyone knows, I'm not a spiritual or religious person. I take a purely psychological approach to plurality and believe in spiritual and religious experiences people have as psychological phenomena.
Having said that, all spiritual headmates are all welcome here. Even if I don't believe in spirits or souls, I view every spiritual headmate as a valid person deserving of the same respect and love as any other.
I also believe that the right to define our spiritual and religious beliefs is fundamental to plural culture. That it can't just be singlets who are allowed to decide what religions are or are not valid. And I think our right to religion is something worth fighting for.

Reblogs are appreciated. Don't feel weird about it! Posts here on Tumblr live or die on their reblogs. I'm not asking you to reblog my posts. That seems weird. But after getting an anon that mentioned being worried about derailing a post with something they wanted to add, and another ask that apologized for reblogging my content too much, I felt this was necessary to say. If you like a post and want to reblog it, do it! If you want to add something even tangentially related to the topic, add it! You have my full permission to reblog my content as much as you want! (And I'd encourage you to reblog from other plural creators you enjoy as well!)
Thank you all for the support!

[ system ] — laboratory, study, observatory, amalgamation, department, cranium, organism, test site, cerebrum, nucleus, composite, datum, synthesis
[ alters ] — experiments, tests, chemicals, subjects, labrats, reactions, atoms, vials, beakers, cells, variables, theories, particles, synapses, hypotheses, creations, modules, molecules
( @disrealities was the epic inspiration btw really cool system terms )
Headmate adopt/dump, I do take requests :) Also apparently I coin terms now :,)Minor safe DNI: Anti-radqueers, I'm not radqueer myself nor do I agree with every belief they have but I do use some radqueer terminology and am a practicing tulpamancer/system.
