Making a bag full of stuff you use when small so it's ready for you.

Making your bed and cleaning your sheets because your stuffies need you to.

Eating small snacks when you feed your pets so they aren't eating alone.

Taking a bath/shower because being smelly isn't fun.

Using weighted stuffies and blankets so it feels like your being held.

Going to bed at a reasonable hour because you don't want to keep your stuffies awake all night.

Putting your drawings and colorings in your journal so you can look at them later.

Making your own drinks because you are the only one who can do it right anyway.

Finding agere content and living vicariously through others.

Constantly reassuring yourself with notes, voice memos, moodboards, vision boards, and Ted talks.

You know what, I'm gonna say it. Experience fandom regression your way.

You found agere headcanons in a horror game? Wonderful!

You have an 18+ source you associate with sfw agere themes? Heck yeah.

Everyone and their mom says X is the little, Y is the caregiver, but you don't think so? Make blog posts about Y being a regressor, make a caregiver moodboard for X.

Don't like romantic themes in a ship everyone ships? Make it familial or platonic.

Niche fandom no one knows about or has absolutely no posts about when you look for agere content of it on Tumblr? Be a trailblazer! I'd love to see your post.

Pure self indulgence and OC shipping? Absolutely adore it.

You want to completely project yourself onto a character to make their regression/caregiving experience more like you? That's so cool.

Don't think you can write or draw that well but want to make fan work of your favorite characters? You'll do great, it's about fun, not perfection.

You have 10+ fictional CGs? A found family of characters you associate with regression? Tell me about them all. Show me the family you built.

The point is, fandom agere I feel like can be so gatekept sometimes. People feel like they need to follow rules to avoid being judged, but you don't. Regressing is all about having fun, and making new memories and experiences. I think it's great you have a fandom/character you love enough to go on that journey with. Some of us may not be so good at playing with toys or doing a lot of commonly talked about agere activities, like me. But my characters I love? My art, my writing? Absorbing myself into a fictional safe space I've built is how I play. How I express myself, and I want you to know you can do that in any way you want.

I spent far too long thinking things were wrong or right, that they were taboo or bad in this community when really, I was just disagreeing with the masses about an opinion in fiction. Everyone has different opinions, comfort levels, boundaries on their own works, etc, but as long as you aren't breaking those bounds and are keeping things SFW? Have a blast. This is your coping mechanism, your fandoms, your interests, your things that make you happy. Have the most fun, okay little one?

Little!Freminet agere moodboard!! little icey boy :D

Agere/Petre Catra headcanons

(Agere Adora headcanons, agere Glimmer headcanons)

Mainly regressor!Catra + caregiver!Adora

Content warnings: self harm mention, Shadow Weaver‘s manipulation being mentioned, Catra’s negative feelings towards age regression, negative emotions while regressed; SPOP spoilers

Catra is a flip heavily leaning towards a regressor. She’d like to be a caregiver more but most of the time when it comes to agere she ends up in a regressed state instead.

She tends to regress when overwhelmed, scared, stressed out or when she gets triggered.

She tends to feel very vulnerable and sensitive in her regressed state and prefers to hide from others. Wouldn’t let anyone approach her unless she’s real close with that person.

May cry a lot and hurt herself but also lash out at others.

But inside she just wants to feel safe and be comforted, hugged, soothed…

Her regression is one of her biggest secrets that she guards heavily. Catra tends to think of this as a weakness that she has to eliminate, and yet she just can’t. That frustrates her a lot and oftentimes she hates herself for this. It’s especially true when she’s still in the Horde. She tries hard to repress it all.

Despite this being a secret, it’s likely that Adora and Shadow Weaver know about it.

Shadow Weaver simply knows her well enough to figure it out. SW keeps this a secret and doesn’t reveal it to others simply because SW doesn’t really care. For her it’s just another aspect of Catra’s personality that may or may not be useful to her. SW doesn’t speak of any of this to Catra either. But it’s possible that SW uses this knowledge to manipulate Catra at some point.

Adora also finds out about Catra’s regression. It happens on accident one day when she runs into a regressed Catra who lashes out then cries and apologizes.

Adora may be taken aback by Catra’s actions and hurt at first but she reassures Catra that it’s okay, that happens, no need to cry. Adora doesn’t hold it against Catra, she understands that everyone has bad days and may lash out sometimes and she can see that Catra is sorry.

She hugs Catra tightly while Catra can’t stop talking, a mix of venting and trying to explain what’s happening to her.

When Catra calms down she feels pretty embarrassed and ashamed about the whole thing but she does her best to properly explain her regression to Adora.

This is something new to Adora but she listens and does her best to understand. She thinks it’s nothing to be ashamed about. Catra’s secret is also safe with her and Adora doesn’t tell anyone about this.

Though it still takes a while for Catra to fully trust Adora with this, eventually she starts including Adora in her regression.

Adora starts helping with Catra’s regression, helps her figure out her triggers, find ways to make her comfortable and safe while regressed.

With Adora’s help, over time Catra’s regression becomes more comfortable, it becomes more fun and pleasant, starts feeling like something safe rather than something too vulnerable and shameful for Catra to do.

While it still often happens as a reaction to strong emotions and Catra has to deal with that when that happens, she starts regressing during other times too.

Basically Adora’s help allows Catra to actually explore her regression, learn more about it and herself, just like Adora is learning more about Catra through this.

For example, Catra realizes that she likes chewy things, sometimes she chews her own tail or hands. Pacifiers get chewed up pretty fast!

She likes to play with anything shiny and things that make light noise like small keys.

She also likes to indulge her cat side: running on all fours and having the zoomies, playing with cat toys, rolling around with a toy, meowing.

After Melog enters her life, they often play together like this! Just both of them being two big cats together!

When very regressed and comfortable, Catra lets her guard down and doesn’t talk much if at all, mostly responds in noises, meows, etc.

She also purrs. A lot and loudly.

She lets Adora play with her as if Catra was just a cat, feed her, cuddle her, and read her stories to help her sleep.

Over time Catra figures out that she has caregiver qualities too and realizes she’s a flip even if she still remains mainly a regressor.

Adora isn’t much of a regressor herself, but she allows Catra to take care of her and baby her a little when Catra is in the caregiver mindset. To be honest, Adora finds that pretty enjoyable and she likes that side of Catra. But Adora really likes regressed baby Catra as well, she’s just too cute!

i'm really excited! i have an albedo paci too which used to be my favourite one but i think the diluc one will be my favourite when i get it, cuz i love him more

Something something, caregiver Diluc being used as a personal heater for his little ones to cuddle up to. Sits down for one second and has his arms are instantly full of sleepy little ones who just want to be held. It’s not their fault the pyro users runs warm. Good luck trying to get anything done besides maybe reading a story out loud.

— • 🐰🌼 “Perhaps you’re different, but different isn’t bad”

The little bunny sat on their bed, ears droopy as they stared at their lap. Weren’t they good enough? Why were they treated so differently from other bunnies? Surely, they were just as fuzzy, warm, and friendly as the others, weren’t they?

Maybe I am different.. they found themselves thinking.

“What’s on your mind, bun?” Mama rabbit suddenly asked. She had opened the door to their room, cookies and milk at hand. Perhaps she had noticed the down behavior from her bunny.

“I’m..too different from other bunnies.”

Their mama gave them a puzzled, yet concerned look. “Different, you say?”

The little bun nodded sadly.

She stood there in deep thought. Mama rabbit was probably thinking of how to properly address such a situation; to her, her little bunny was the most interesting and fun little bun to be around.

“Being different isn’t a bad thing,” she began. “Yes, perhaps some bunnies won’t understand..they are too used to the idea of a ‘normal’ that they don’t see just how truly wonderful someone who’s different can be. You may not be like everyone else, but you certainly have good qualities, and I’m sure the other bunnies see that despite your differences.”

She wiped a small tear from her bunny’s eye. “And just like there isn’t just one spot on a lady bug, there isn’t just one person in the world who’s different. There are many bunnies just like you, who will accept you as you are and be your friend.”

She gently patted their hair. “Perhaps you are a little different, but different isn’t bad.”
