Thank you, everyone, for the reassurance.
I suppose I'll tack on to the end of my last post and say another important bit of tulpa wisdom, they're real. Ignore whatever bit of your mind just tried to refute that, treat them like they are real. The wonderland isn't just a crazy wacky place for you to do anything, I mean it is but it's also where the tulpa lives and if you don't give it concrete rules you're not taking the tulpa seriously. How could you think something is real, lovable, sentient, and at the same time go, "Lol, yeah they live in a place with blood red grass, six moons, and weird plants, but they look totally normal and there's no problems with a livable planet having six forces of gravity (moons) in orbit. Also I have superpowers there and shit." You're not, you aren't taking it seriously at that point. That's not to say you CAN'T do crazy stuff like that, but you have to think about the repercussions of what that would mean. It's very easy to imagine a realistic Equestria, keeping all of the magic and races and artifacts in place, it has rules and we can discern them from watching the show and fill in the gaps as we need to. But the moment you start on with the "I can have DBZ fights with the ponies and none of us get hurt because I can just think them better" is when you start on the path of not treating them as real. One of my mares broke her leg, it was splinted and she had to rest for a few weeks. She also could have gone and found a unicorn to heal it, if we'd known any at the time, but we didn't. So she had a realistic recovery time and problem. That's part of what makes the difference between someone parroting (speaking for the tulpa) and someone that gets a full fledged sentient one. Treat your tulpa like you would a real, living being, with static rules and physical laws and they'll turn out a lot faster because you aren't constantly reminded of "it's all in my head."
