The Tulpa/Tyler Era (This Era can be referred to as the Tulpa Era or the Tyler Era interchangeably, as they heavily overlap with each other) was an era in time where SkeletonHearts was being groomed by a man named Tyler.

## Timeline

### Undertale AU Exodus

The Tyler Era begins where the Undertale AU Era ends. After becoming disillusioned with the Undertale AU Fandom due to the grooming and harassment from DerpyBlueberrySans, SkeletonHearts partner at the time, and the further harassment from older users, SkeletonHearts abandoned the community. During this time SkeletonHearts had no friends due to their only online interactions being that of the Undertale AU Fandom. So SkeletonHearts would go onto online chatrooms in-search of friends, soon meeting Tyler. The two clicked due to both having a fixation on Lucarios, with both of their emails at the time containing the Pokemon's name.

### Tyler Era

Due to the disturbing subject matter, the provided details will only touch on things that connect back to SkeletonHeart's creative process in some way, rather than giving a play-by-play of a child being groomed for an entire year. Despite their previous abuser, SkeletonHearts was quick to fall for Tyler, possibly reeling from their very first relationship being such a negative experience. While still keeping in mind that Tyler was a groomer, he was thankfully not as abusive as DerpyBlueberrySans, giving SkeletonHearts a moderately better environment to express themself and come up with new ideas.

### Tulpa Era

During an extremely stressful point in SkeletonHeart's life, SkeletonHearts began to retreat into themselves. Their mental health at this point was at an all-time low, and they desperately craved companionship outside of their relationship with Tyler. With nobody to turn to, and a fear of being public online unless they incur the wrath of their previous groomer, SkeletonHearts found themselves learning about the topic of Tulpamancy.

Tulpamancy, in laymen's terms, is essentially self-induced DID (Disassociative Personality Disorder) where the 'Host' begins to convince themselves that another being is sharing their body. It is not spiritual in nature, but is meant to 'gaslight' the brain into eventually accommodating this separate entity and allowing the Host to begin hearing and seeing this entity for themselves. SkeletonHearts obviously would of shown great interest in this practice considering their situation, so it shouldnt be a surprise that SkeletonHearts soon had tulpas of their own.

### Sony Sketch

The Sony Sketch Era begins halfway through the Tyler Era, however as SkeletonHearts began to use the platform and make actual friends, the feeling they had for Tyler withered away as their situation improved, eventually ending in the two quietly ending their full year of communication up to that point.

### Tyler's Arrest

Despite things ending as amicably as they could, Tyler was arrested for communicating with another child, some time during the events of the Amino Era.

While specific details can not be revealed, it is more than likely that Tyler is now out of prison, however he and SkeletonHearts have had no contact despite him being released.
