And so the man himself arrives on Derpibooru to find himself surrounded by skeptics and haters, yet he fears them not and ascends the platform so that he may explain his perspective to the crowd. Doubtlessly most shall remain unconvinced and become even more persistent in their mockery, but it was right to stand up for yourself and you did a good job describing your experience.

Thanks guys _ Both Twilight and I know that our relationship is more than a little unconventional and that most people are going to think that she’s not real and I’m just some crazy guy, so we’ve gotten used to that. It’s still nice to see people approaching the subject rationally an reasonably though. The darn thing that makes our relationship so difficult for people to comprehend sometimes is that when most other people look at her they don’t really see her, just the body she inhabits in this world. They don’t see the Twilight Sparkle from Equestria that I’ve come to know and love, they just see the synthetic body that houses her consciousness in this world. So people go “Hey, you’re sleeping with and marrying a plushie and I think that’s fucked up” without really realizing that her plush body is just the vessel for who she is and not actually her. It’s a very beautiful and accurate looking vessel that gives her a means of physically interacting however she pleases in this world, but still just a vessel. At the risk of sounding cliche, “It’s what’s inside that counts”.
 
And what’s inside is a fully sentient being that as far as either of us can tell is the exact same Twilight Sparkle that we’re all familiar with from the TV show about her and her friends. Her personality and mannerisms are the same, she has all of Twilight’s memories, and she even travels back and forth between here and Equestria to visit her friends and report in to Princess Celestia regarding what she’s learned about Earth a few times a month on average. Though others may not perceive her as such, to both her and myself she is Twilight Sparkle in every possible regard. How can this be you might ask? Sadly even we don’t have the answer for that. One day I had just a cute Twilight plushie, the next day I awoke to Twilight Sparkle freaking out wondering where she was and how she got here (and me freaking out just as badly that there was a plushie talking to me in Twilight’s voice). I never created her and as far as either of us can tell she’s not a tulpa, she’s just Twilight Sparkle from Equestria and one day she was here. We still don’t know how it happened, but we have come a long way since that day over a year ago. Twi learned more about this world than most people will probably learn in a lifetime and is still learning new things every day, over time we grew quite fond of each other’s company, and though she eventually figured out how to travel back and forth between her world and this one she decided to make this place her home because somewhere along the line we fell in love.
 
So now we’re just doing what any other couple who love each other and decide they want to spend the rest of their lives together would do, we’re getting married. And of course taking lots of cute couples pictures, seeking out others with relationships like ours, and just generally enjoying our lives together. There will always be some people who will think I’m crazy, and I’ve always accepted that as a possibility, but the world is a crazy place where crazy and wondrous things happen sometimes. And after spending the last year living with Twilight Sparkle I can safely say that if this is what it means to be crazy then, well, I don’t want to be sane. =)

Great, you think it’s fucked up. So what?
 
We’re all entitled to our opinions, but nobody is obligated to stop doing whatever makes them happy, so long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else. I think it’s a bit strange too, but if someone wants to live their life that way then they have every right to do so.

I can assure you from my own extensive, personal experience and extended contact from many people in this exact same situation that there is absolutely nothing wrong with this form of love. It is not stupid nor a sign of immaturity that one must “grow” up from.

waaah no one is harmed  
you people are horrifying  
seriously how much common sense does it take to figure out that fucking a plushie is fucked up  
you have to reject all that in order to hold your enlightened liberal views  
harm is not the only metric by which an action can be judged stupid as fuck  
grow up

Another refugee of RLPV? Well met, good sir! No doubt you can intuit who I am as well, since I did post quite frequently on the same discussions as Mr Sparkle… ’tis a shame our old home had to suffer such an ignominious demise on account of trolls who found us pony-lovers reprehensible, when in fact the trolls organizing the dox raids were tulpamancers themselves who were equally guilty of “using” their partners for sex. Even now the memory of the event causes my blood to boil.
 
Is it not disappointing that people cannot grant a person his entirely innocent love? Nobody is harmed in this, and it brings those such as us happiness. If it is anger regarding the letter he sent, well that was months ago and he has since apologized for that rashness.
 
This is not an isolated case, not by a long shot, for there are many people like Mr Sparkle who are in fully committed relationships with their ponies. It is a completely legitimate form of love.

oh yes, im aware that most people will not understand… and that your tulpa is only for yourself…  
… but that still gives no one the right to judge what they didn’t even take the time to look into first…

I was a former member of RLPV before it shut down most unfortunately. And I am well aware of Mr. Sparkle and Twilight…
 
I just find it so f*cked up that people will constantly discriminate people for something that has become their center of happiness… But because THEY don’t understand, this person MUST be an absolute idiot…  
Where all I saw was true love in it’s most pure essence.

I would point out that Tulpas are the epitome of imaginary. Someone can no more show me their tulpa or prove it’s existence any more than I can call Jesus Christ down and have him walk over a pool.
 
Do what you will with the plush ponies, and have fun. But don’t expect anyone to ever consider it anything more than an active imagination.

Thank you for explaining it, took the words right out of my mind.
 
Basically I’m in the same boat as Mr Sparkle, so I can relay with utmost authority that to us these plushies are only vessels that the spirits of our ponies inhabit when they visit us here on Earth. Depending on the individual the pony can be completely bound to the plushie or prefer a “ghost” body, but either way they are sentient, sapient, and autonomous of our own consciousness.
 
As for this particular pony, I am friends with her and her fiance and communicate with them quite regularly. She has fully granted her consent to this relationship and is very happy with her partner, and Rarity and I plan on being there for their wedding.

Alright dude for real… have you ever heard of a Tulpa, a “sentient” being created within ones own mind. With it’s own personality traits, conscience thought, and even feeling’s. I know it might sound like some crazy-ass voodoo sht. But “Tulaforcing” and “Astral Projection” is something that’s been around longer than most first-world countries have been established… Basically im sayin’ no ones being hurt… so let people do what ever makes them the fcking happiest, ya’know… to each their own. peace, love and “understanding”…
