Yeah. Tulpa's probably the most accurate term for you from my world. I'm not sure what they'd call you in yours. But yes. No matter how you originated, Hythlo, you *are* real now. You're as much of a person as any other otherworlder.

And if that's how you feel, I'll do my best to help you and to not punch Hades when he's being an ass. Let me leave Jack a note so he'll know where I've gone and then I'll be over.

(What are we doing with your hair?)

There may be words, but none with quite the specificity for my tastes. In cases such as these, I like to create a term, or use one so inaccurate it provokes thought.

You may consider me an “imaginary friend” for the time being.

As ever, I appreciate when others refrain from physical assaults against him.

(Just a bit of a change. It is much too humid here, I would like to shave down.)

I know, I know. You're the only one who gets to hurt him—and only as a kink thing. Don't worry. I'm not going to. No matter how much of an ass he acts because he's upset with you.

(You want me to give you an undercut? Well. That's one way to remind Hades that you're your own Hythlodaeus.)

[hythlodaeus]

Thank you, Steven. As you know, he can be difficult when he’s upset. I wish to give him time to... grieve.

(...And, yes. It will be more manageable and simpler for me to care for it by myself this way.)

(I saw a photograph in a book of something akin to it. I drew inspiration, you might say.)

I'll probably try to avoid being around him too much in person to remove the punching temptation.

(Do you want to dye it as well? It occurs to me that your hair is light enough to take dye really well.)
