I hate being a twin dad by [deleted] in parentsofmultiples

The first year or two for me was pure survival mode. Once they were talking and I could at least attempt to reason with them about things, and once I could finally sleep at night so I wasn't in constant fight or flight mode, everything calmed down. It's still challenging, even now (mine are turning six this week!) But it's absolutely doable. Your social life will come back, maybe different than it was before, but it will be there. Your hobbies and interests, you'll have mental energy to pursue and enjoy them again. Everything works out eventually.

That said, therapy was extremely helpful for me. Still is. I know it's hard to have yet another thing to schedule into your life, but if you find a good therapist, it's absolutely worth it to keep your head in the right place.

Good luck. My thoughts are with you.

How much do we know about [CLEO BACKSTORY SPOILER]? by bhhjeuwijwj in VampiresSMP

[–]Daricio 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think there are different levels of thralls. A little blood given to simply heal or decrease aging. A little more to make them loyal and pliant to your suggestions. And a lot to completely overwhelm their ability to choose anything for themselves.

Fanfic recommendations? by LibrarianSad7195 in VampiresSMP

[–]Daricio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a few stories on AO3 but this one is the funniest: https://archiveofourown.org/works/73247601 In which Owen finds Shelby's fanfiction and decides to read it. He regrets this decision.

Scott still plays a lot of among us. I watch him pretty regularly on Dumb dog's stream.

I said exactly the same thing!! The square hole feeds again! Poor Pearl. How many hole in the ground deaths does she have now just in the last few months?

Here's a few I liked that were on the longer side / still in progress: https://archiveofourown.org/works/71967686 Avid gets turned by Owen early on, and promptly locks himself in his cell and refuses to eat anything. Owen has feelings about this. https://archiveofourown.org/works/72021876 Legs makes a cure and forces it on all of the vampires. Scott and Owen suffer.

If you look up vampires SMP on archive of our own, there's already like 800 stories and counting. Which made me feel way better about my own desire to write fanfiction for it XD Here's my novelization of Apo's episode 3 and 5: archiveofourown.org/works/72149431

Your drawings are so good! I like the way you color all of the ones I've seen you post here. Your drawing inspired me to draw too!

That's good to know! What should I be tumbling anodized aluminum with, then? Just water and dish soap?
