show about a small Southern town that springs in to existence one day based entirely on the collective commitment-to-the-bit of people in a globe-spanning internet fandom that sprung out of a random tumblr shitpost about accidentally manifesting things because of a typo

call it Tulpa, Oklahoma

@joshmillard I feel like we just went on a journey together

@joshmillard Perplexity.ai:
This concept merges internet culture with Tibetan tulpas and Western egregores, where thought shapes reality. It echoes Slender Man and Oklahoma's spiritual heritage. The premise parallels utopian communities and chaos magic. The Tumblr origin reflects modern digital folklore, continuing traditional storytelling online. This fictional town embodies collective belief's power, blending mysticism with internet culture.

@joshmillard I mean I know you mostly wrote this for the pun, but I'd watch the **** out of that.

@DrWenn yeah no my immediate follow thought was "actually this could be good" though in practice it could also be deeply disappointing

@joshmillard I just love the idea of a group totally committed to a fictional bit suddenly confronted with the bit actually being true.
