if you make a special box in your head called "thoughts that aren't mine" and put every thought that doesn't feel like your own into that box. let's just say. something magical happens
If it’s not too much trouble, could we request a headmate who is a porcelain ball-jointed doll? Feminine presentation, depression holder and trauma holder, with a color theme of silver and teal. Mostly we just need help with ideas for names, pronouns, and gender identity, but if you have any strokes of brilliance for other details then we welcome those also!
Side note, we love your blog so far. We recently had a bad experience with another bah blog, so this one has been so pleasant to follow that up with. You’re doing an amazing job, mods!

yknow what every1 always talks about omegas being the ones to cook but hear me out, alphas in the kitchen
-> they plan meticulously to make sure all the meals are providing all essential nutrients
-> they feel pride knowing their pack is well nourished because of them
-> planning months in advance for holiday meals ("we'll need two turkeys, fourteen potatoes, three salads and a baked alaska." "that seems like a lot" "i'm worried it won't be enough")
-> big strong alpha muscles kneading bread/pita/naan/tortilla dough. you agree.
-> omega's hungry because of the early stages of heat? alpha's already baked three batches of cookies and a pizza
-> territorial grill-off's. arguing over the proper technique for kebabs.
-> cub/packmate has a big test, sports meet or an interview that day? alpha's up at dawn making a continental breakfast loaded with protein
-> the pack eats together. always.
just.... alphas in the kitchen y'all

Hello my friends I am Hanan from Gaza, a mother of three children. We used to live in a quiet, reassured house, but our lives were turned upside down: fear, bombing, terror, and destruction. My children and I were subjected to repeated displacement, and we were forced to live inside a tent that swayed in the wind and was full of insects. Meanwhile, my warm house was completely destroyed, and nothing remained. All of it is rubble, stones and memories. I ask you to help me save my children’s lives from danger. I hope you will donate even a little. https://www.gofundme.com/f/q37qd5-please-help-my-family-in-gaza?attribution_id=sl:a7c90392-5bd1-45ca-a58b-c3a57b462cff&utm_campaign=

Problem 1 - A divided community
Any attempt at making a new term would be met with resistance. Not from everyone, but by most. It's likely that those who use other terms would move away from the tulpa community. So instead of actually getting tulpamancers to change their term, you would be just be making a new community outside of it.
But maybe you can manage to stick around in tulpa spaces, get other people to as well, and somehow slowly change the language from the inside. But what is that language?
Problem 2 - Finding a word for everyone
Thoughtform is a bad term because its connotations are too spiritual. There is also an active spiritual thoughtform community out there right now that this will be stepping on the toes of, smashing together two largely disconnected communities.
Many feel parogenic is too broad. And willogenic presents the practice as just "willing" a headmate into existence. Both also would result in the tulpa community losing its identity, becoming yet another xeno-origin and being assimilated completely into the endogenic community.
Senpia is just never going to happen.
None of the alternatives are going to be universally-agreed upon. And having the community divided amongst multiple terms exacerbates the first problem.
Problem 3 - Domain shifts
Anti-tulpas like pointing to the shift from "natural multiplicity" to "endogenic" as an example of how you can change terms. For those that are unaware, "natural multiples" were basically the precursors for endogenic systems. Many argued that the term was ableist because it suggested systems formed from trauma were "unnatural." Which is a silly and bad faith way of framing it, since the opposite of nature is usually environmental in this context, as in the nature vs nurture debate.
But regardless, the websites that existed at the time didn't include the terms in their domain names. They could change their terms without ever worrying about this. Furthermore... most of these communities were already dying as the plural community migrated to Tumblr. The whole internet landscape was morphing in the early 2010s.
Problem 3.1 - r/tulpas
On Reddit, changing a subreddit name is literally impossible. The only possible way to accomplish this would be to have the mods delete r/tulpas and create a completely new subreddit. At which point, a huge number of subscribers are instantly lost.
As is a ton of history on the subreddit, and even some guides that never got posted anywhere else.
Problem 3.2 - Tulpa.info
While it may technically possible to change the domain, that instantly breaks every link to every single tulpamancy guide on the website in an instant.
The whole thing becomes a huge mess. Perhaps they could setup redirects, but that would require paying for the old domain as well as the new one, driving up server costs.
Problem 4 - Visibility
Any new community terms will lose the visibility of identifying as tulpas. For people who are experiencing sentient imaginary friends and looking for a community, this transitionary period will make it way more difficult to find a community to support their needs.
It also makes it more difficult for the tulpamancy community to expand and bring in new members.
Problem 5 - Academic Research
Tulpamancy is currently the primary form of endogenic plurality being researched, including an fMRI study. All other research into endogenic plurality has mostly been surveys. Finding people to take part in FMRI studies is difficult. Not everyone has a lifestyle where they can just fly off to California for a brain scan.
If research continues, there are multiple ways this could hamper it going forward.
Mixing with the thoughtform community could mean a larger spiritual influence in the community, reinforcing the idea that endogenic plurality is only valid if it's spiritual. There are plenty of studies into spiritual possession happening, and it's imperative that we match that with research into plurals with psychological origins.
Losing our identity by assimilating into the larger endogenic community through -genic labels like parogenic and willogenic will end research into tulpamancy as a phenomenon of its own.
And dividing the community means fewer people are going to be found who can take part in these studies.
A term isn't just a term
It's our identity. It's our community. It's our connection to each other. It's our websites and the resources they host. It's our ability to be seen. It's our connection to the academic research into our community and ongoing advancement in the field.
There is no genuine "pro-tulpa, anti-tulpa terminology" side. Changing the terminology as a whole would divide and devastate the tulpamancy community.
If you're fighting against tulpa terminology, you're fighting against the tulpamancy community.

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!

Probably never will every single box be filled though, it depends on the headmate and who they are. I will ALWAYS include the definition of identities I find that I deem too obscure. let me know if I’m using something I shouldn’t be using, or using a term wrong :) I use picrew to create images of my adopts, not always but unless I say and credit otherwise: assume it’s picrew. All my adopts are free and can be used by anyone 🦋

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.
