This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Autosexual and imaginary
However, if you want a trip down a rabbit hole, what this is talking about is essentially a tulpa.
Now, I'm not saying one way or another that tulpas have any use, or even that they're anything that represents anything that matters outside of the self. But it is a practice that people engage in, so it isn't totally fake, no matter what the opinion about it beyond that is.
Tulpas my beloved. When I was a kid I believed that all supernatural/religious deities were real based on some degree of human belief. This was definitely heavily informed by Rick Riordan though lol
I was the same! I think it was the Egyptian inspired series where one of the characters asked about what happens when people who don't believe in anything die. Even though I don't remember the exact answer, the feeling of oblivion has stuck with me ever since.
I'd still like to believe that all the gods are actually having a giant battle for supremacy though lol.
