“ ugly ” regression

☆ it’s not talked enough in regression about the hard big angry feelings. It’s not always relaxing and playing

☆ I want to yell and cry

☆ Throw my toys and push you away

☆ I don’t understand how to process these big feelings

☆ I can’t verbalise what I want

☆ All I want to do is scream and tantrum

☆ Things aren’t going my way and I’m not spoiled for feeling that

☆ I wanna scribble all over my pretty drawing in a black crayon

☆ It’s okay to feel this way

☆ It’s okay to get those feelings out

[ncity-agere]

My favorite things to hear when I'm small

"You're too little for that, honey."

"Aw, do you need some help, sweetie?"

"I think someone needs some snuggles."

"What a good baby!"

"Do you want to play, kiddo?"

"Aren't you just the cutest little thing!"

agere stories i want to see more of:

tantrums. shouting. screaming. throwing stuff. especially if they weren't "allowed" to have tantrums as a kid, or are super passive/a pushover normally. let them scream.

stories where they confess that they age regress and people do think they're weird for it

stories where they have potty accidents and need to deal with it. stories where they're afraid to wear diapers because they don't want to be seen as weak. stories where they don't want to sleep because they might regress and wet the bed.

stories where they hurt someone, either by accident or on purpose

stories where flips struggle to regress because people are mean if they're not caregiving all the time. stories where they struggle to regress because they're the reliable caregiver. stories where they struggle to regress because they're ashamed of it and caregiving is easier. stories where they struggle to regress because they love caregiving and don't want to step away to take care of themselves

stories where they struggle to regress because they're avoiding it. stories where they can't regress because they want to avoid something but it keeps breathing down their neck and they can't run away from it this time

stories where they dont want to worry anyone and think they're getting away with it and end up worrying everyone anyway

stories where they cry, they cry, they cry, they cry, they cry, they cry, they cry, and they can't stop it no matter how hard they try,

stories without a happy ending

Naps with Nct Dream!

Mark

Mark is the type of person who needs to be forced to sleep. He's always preoccupied with something whether it's for work or it's his own personal projects. But once you do finally wrestle him down for a nap. He will be out like a light for HOURS.

He will wrap his arms tight around you from behind and his face will bury itself in your neck. He won't even care if your hair is in his face. The feeling of your warm back pressed against him allows him to feel safe and comfortable. He will absolutely whine if you try to pull away when he's not ready to wake up though.

Renjun

Renjun honestly seems like someone who is always down for a nap. With the irritated looks he gives the dreamies I would not be surprised if he's the first one to suggest it.

He would love to take naps during the slower times of the day. The perfect time being the small slump before dinner. He would love waking up to your soft and relaxed face as he can smell warm food cooking (hopefully not by a member who will lit the kitchen on fire) downstairs.

Jeno

Clingy! He is super duper clingy when he is tired and napping is not an exception! However, just like Mark, it does take a little bit for you to convince him to come nap with you. Jeno likes having things to do and he likes relaxing once all his activities are done. So a nap with Jeno is very short, 30 minutes at best.

But once he's wrapped you up against his chest he doesn't let you go the whole time. You gotta pee, too bad. Someone's knocking on the door, oh well. His arms would be tight around you and his nose would instantly bury itself in your hair.

However, there are those small moments where Jeno falls asleep for hours and those are the naps you cherish. You love waking up to his soft sleepy face and the feeling of not needing to be somewhere or doing something.

Haechan (Donghyuck)

Donghyuck doesn't like naps. Not a single bit and while whine over and over again if you try to make him take one. You won't even be able to really nap with the amount of complaining and rolling over he will do.

But if you are reaallllyyyy lucky, he will actually fall asleep. He would have a loose arm thrown over you and his face would be smushed against his pillow with his mouth slightly open. It's funny how the one time he actually naps he's whining for you to stay and keep napping with him.

Jaemin

First of all, Jaemin loves you to pieces. He would do anything for you. If you want a nap, this boy has already dug all of your fluffy blankets out of the closet and is turning off the lights before you even finish asking.

He would pull you into the biggest and tightly bear hug you can imagine. His heartbeat would lull you to sleep and the fact the love of his life is in his arms would put him to sleep too. There is no doubt that his heart only beats for you.

Chenle

Another complainer! But he doesn't do it because he hates naps, in fact he loves them. He complains because he loves to see you get annoyed. He loves watching you shake his arm and the cute frown on your face when he says no. The second you sigh and give up is the second he pulls you towards the bed.

Chenle becomes so soft and gentle with you when you take naps together. He loves when you place your head on his chest and his heart does a flip when your hands clutch onto his hoodie. He'll slowly rub circles on your hip with his fingers until he falls asleep.

If he wakes up before you he loves to just trace your features with his eyes. He refuses to get out of the bed until you wake up. You turn our bad bitch chenle into a big ol' softy.

Jisung

Jisung was absolutely already laying down before you walked into the room. Naps are definitely apart of his everyday routine. He doesn't mind waking up to you in his arms though.

He would be a little surprised to find another person sleeping in his bed when he wakes up. But once he sees that it's you, he instantly fills with happiness. He would sneak as close as he could get without waking you up and press his red smiling face into your shoulder. Seeing you so vulnerable and cute would literally cause his heart to explode.

nct dream as partners to an age regressor nct dream x f! reader

author's note: hihi! first time blogging, kinda nervous... i've had this idea in my little marble head for quite some time and now here i am posting it !

dni: ddlg/cgl/abdl & any other nsfw variants that sexualize age regression. thank u !

genres: fluff fluff fluff

이민형 | mark lee

ur gonna be the death of him. poor boy is stressed 25/8

he's doing his best but he still doesn't quite understand at times

a quality time lover ! sometimes he gets so immersed in his own thing he doesn't notice you switch tasks until it's too late,,,,

"oh no! oh dude... i'm so sorry man, c'mere. no, don't apologize. it's my fault. it's ok. you can cry all you want. let's just get a bandaid on that gnarly cut, okay?"

when he's sorry, he means it ! after the pb&j knife switcheroo incident, he made sure to set alarms to make your meals just in case you've regressed that day and can't (safely) make your own food

a very good listener ! he loves listening to u talk for hours and hours and hours and hours and

listens intently to the explanation of your shows, the names of your plushies, and the storylines currently on going as you play pretend

loves playing pretend. at first, he was a bit shy, breaking character and laughing into his hands when embarrassment got the best of him, but now bro is confident! u could place him in a broadway show and no one would think he's out of place

could be said he was actually the one who made the first move to play pretend.

"...whatcha doing?" "playing" "...what are you playing?" after being burned under your x-ray vision gaze for no less than 5 seconds, you hand him a plushie and 'insist' on him playing with you

not one for titles or nicknames. mark is mark, you are you!

punishments are the last of his worries. hopefully, you don't make it rise the ranks

황런쥔 | huang renjun

manners freak

"ah!" he always has to hold whatever you asked for out of your reach. "what do we say? it starts with a t and ends with a 'you'."

does all sorts of crafts with you

one time, he drew your favorite character and you loved it so much you made him put it on your wall then and there. he was undermining it and complaining that he didn't want to get up and do all the work that involves framing it but the smile and blush on his face told a different story

lets you put stickers on him! only the pretty ones that he's approved beforehand. and NOT on his hair. he's chinese, not korean. he doesn't need the military service buzzcut

like mark, not big on titles. they make him uncomfortable tbh. nicknames for you, however, he does quite like (tiny, munchkin, etc.).

happy to let you be independent while regressed under STRICT supervision

goes so far as to make little songs and jingles to you can sing along to as you perform certain tasks so you both know you're doing things safely and correctly even when out of his eyesight

ur complete coloring pages go right next to his pieces of art on the fridge. u are both artists !

lullabies are a must. the man is a singer for a living ! good night! z Z z ....

punishments usually consist of renjun nagging on for over an hour. you don't really tend to listen. it's mostly for him to let out his frustration before the big stepper comes for you.

"and NO ice cream this weekend!" "NO!"

이제노 | lee jeno

first one to actually not mind titles ! he can live without them but they scratch an itch in his brain like nothing else can

two words: cute aggression. leans in to kiss your cheek only to bite it. he bites your nose. he bites your EARS ?! someone lock this man up !

hugs you in a way that presses the cheeks of the two of you until you look like twins conjoined at the head

the cuddliest man ever like i've never seen a more teddy bear-coded individual?!?!?!

"gotta pee." "hold it." "i can't!" grumbling jeno noises

started going back to the gym after seeing how much he you like being carried

he doesn't really talk a lot when in cg mode, but you've known him long enough that you can read his body language just fine

might actually be in cg space more than you are regressed !

just anything that you do, big or little. it's so precious to him. he feels the urge to just protect you from everything!!!

no !!! u can't go outside !!! what if bugs bite u?!!! oh u brought bug spray? ok... send him a message of when u get on the bus! and when u get off the bus! and to ur friend's house! actually, just let him drive u ok? give him five minutes to change !

the worst at dishing out punishments out of all of dream. a pout, a teary eye, a sniffle, he's unraveling at the seams.

he sits on a chair by the bed, arms crossed with a stern look. you could shatter it with a bat of your lashes, but you know you need this.

"i'll be sitting here until you fall asleep. we could've played chutes and ladders tonight like you wanted if you hadn't thrown away your veggies, angel."

이동혁 | lee donghyuck

he is the baby. wdym you are ?

poor boy is used to being the youngest and acting cute, what is he supposed to do now that the tables are turned?

at the beginning, it's lots of awkward head pats and hugs of comfort.

sits you on his lap while he's gaming, playing with you and your toys in between matches

kind of insecure to be ur cg :( give the boy praise and appreciation!

"you," he sighs, looking away from you. "you should really be in bed by now. it's past your bedtime." "but you're not asleep." another sigh. "i know..."

when his confidence and comfortability is up tho? big big BIG on the baby talk and praise to the point you have to remind him you guys are in public!!! it started out as a joke (yk how he is, being annoying on purpose with his main weapon being aegyo). he doesn't think it's a joke anymore guys,,,,,,,,,,,,,

titles are goofy to haechan. he calls you the same he always does.

"what about me? did i do a good job today?" he asks, striking a ridiculous pose. "yeah ! you're the best, chan ! :D" "... :( thank u baby :,("

punishments don't exist actually! he's right there next to you. silly string all over the room? it was his idea to play spiders. veggies thrown away? impossible. he never bought them to begin with. didn't do your assignment? was it that important to begin with? hyuck doesn't think so

might be a regressor too ! on the older side, perhaps (pre-teen - teenage)

나재민 | na jaemin

terrible for big space. just the absolute worst

baby talk and aegyo is not an action for him, it's a lifestyle. makes you do one or the other (or both if he's feeling particularly sadistic i mean playful) if you want something or as a punishment on the lighter side

probably made you slip multiple times before you even told him you regress

all the cheesy, cringy, cliche stuff? he does that. shamelessly too

loves titles and uses them on himself even if you don't. doesn't make you call him anything, but he loves how it 'rolls off the tongue so well!'

he's an addict to nicknames for you. finds them randomly

"oh man, look at that rabbit! it's so cute!" "just like y/n" "what" just randomly takes out his phone in the middle of walking to text you nana: hi bunny<3you: ? you: hi?

acts of service are his natural calling. you might as well be quadriplegic.

makes your favorite drink for you! ur too little to do it urself !!! let him do it for u (pls pls pls pls pls he's on his knees)

also makes lunches for you that are all pretty and shaped like some sort of animal when ur feeling small ! he stopped doing cats though since one time you felt like you were eating luna and cried.

you two literally fight to death about who loves who the most. jaemin has to be tied to a chair in the basement of an abandoned building to let you do literally anything for him

punishments are extremely rare. virtually non-existent. he prefers to talk things through and give rewards rather than take away

health is important! it's so so important to him he set up a meal plan where you eat the rainbow three times a day.

makes you exercise with him.........

"i'll be home in about half an hour, jellybean. do you think you could finish a bottle of water by then? i know you can. i'll see you soon, okay?"

종천러 | zhong chenle

you know those people that talk to babies like they're grown people that pay taxes and drink alcohol? that's chenle

he knows you've regressed and you're not in the mindset of an adult anymore, but he isn't a big baby talk person like jaemin is

the nicknames he uses for you are very classic so he can use them both in public and in private (doll, dollface, princess, etc.)

surprisingly into his role as cg? like, he has a chart set up for you and everything. if he's abroad/not around, he'll call you so you can place the gold stars yourself in his behalf

another manners enthusiast

uses titles for himself and expects you to use them too

"'can i have dessert please, what?', princess? what word is missing from that sentence?"

doesn't say much but always keeps an eye or hand on you in public.

bro is nonchalant (for the most part. just don't read his locked notes)

"a gift? i didn't buy you anything" LIAR. "what pink box? have you opened it? bring it over here. let me see"

he's very patient, just stern since he has strict boundaries and rules. constantly encouraging you to have firm boundaries as well.

"is this ok?" "do you not like this?" "how do you feel about that?"

go-to punishment is writing lines. always gives you a yogurt or some other snack when you finish. mostly does it for himself, he doesn't like staying on the subject of punishment/bad behavior. there's better things to do in his opinion

his favorite activity to do with you when small is your text message conversations. no words, no talking, just a photo message from you (!!!! look what i'm doing !!!!) and a photo from him in response (!!!! good job i'm so proud of you !!!! here's what i'm doing !!!!)

박지성 | park jisung

a lot like mark, not a fans of titles or nicknames

more of a listener. has lots of questions but doesn't want to interrupt the groove with which you're explaining the lore of equestria so he just nods his head in hopes that he'll understand with time and context

the one who would adjust the fastest to learning about your age regression out of all the dreamies. give him five minutes and he'll be like "...ok. wanna watch tv now?"

jisung is so !!! silly !!!

a goofy boy. he loves making exaggerated reactions and expressions to make you laugh

"gah-!" you've hit him with an invisible arrow! jisung holds his chest, stumbling back to slowly fall down onto the floor. very very slowly. "you've shot me... i can feel my life force leaving me... why... would you do this...? bleh."

kind of has a sixth sense for you. if something triggers you and makes you slip in public, he's like a cat that heard something no one else can.

pulsing your hand in his to get your attention only for you to avoid eye contact is a dead giveaway. he might not always be able to leave the event, but he makes sure to give you a break of just you two. breathing exercises, grounding techniques, he also lets you play with the plush toy keychain he bought for occasions just like these.

the first time you shutdown verbally when small, jisung panics! he's running around looking up on the internet how to 'talk without talking'. now he's a baby sign language expert. good job, you! /gen

can u tell this came from a jaemin delusion? he's just so cg coded my LORD ㅠㅠ

[ncity-agere]

nooo i literally cried, he’s so babey💕

Snack Time! - R!MarkLee

Mark was having a quiet day to himself, holed up in his bedroom watching old episodes of Mr. Rogers on his laptop. Only one of his roommates was home and he was busily playing games and talking to friends down the hallway, so Mark sat calmly, knowing he wouldn’t be bothered by any boisterous behavior. He couldn’t stop smiling at the screen with his tongue poking through his lips. The gentle tunes and nurturing environment the show provided him with so much comfort. His mind felt empty and free, only thinking about what was playing in front of his eyes.

A soft frog stuffed animal that he had for a few years sat on his lap and a newer monkey stuffed animal was right beside him, watching the show. Mark bounced the frog on his knees and giggled, followed by him making boing noises and tossing it up in the air to catch. He was easily distracted.

“Ah! Sorry Froggy!” Mark yelped quietly when the toy missed his hands from a poorly calculated throw.

He crouched to pick his friend back up and felt his stomach rumble when he stood back up. It was mid afternoon and he only had breakfast so far, because he woke up close to 12pm. Mark stood aimlessly for a moment while he thought about what to do. Usually, he’d go to Jaehyun or Jungwoo for help getting food, but they were out and the only other person home was Yuta. Mark and Yuta were very close, but it was a little different when Mark was regressed. Yuta intimidated him for some reason. No matter how cheerfully and lovingly Yuta spoke to Mark, the little was still super shy around him.

“Hmm…I dunno what to do.” Mark pouted.

He figured that he could just get something to eat by himself. Yuta wasn’t in the kitchen and wasn’t very good at english, which Mark spoke mostly when he was small. The confusion would be a waste of time. Besides, he wasn’t so little that he couldn’t grab a bowl of cereal. He was in-de-pendent! (Like in rudolph)

So, off he went, padding down the hallway in his favorite rainbow socks. He noticed that Yuta’s door was partially opened and made sure to tiptoe past it before scurrying away. The kitchen was a disaster. Dishes everywhere, last minuet meals left behind, wrappers and containers all over the place and other junk scattered in the mix. Mark scrunched up his face and walked past the destruction to the pantry. Inside was not much better than the rest of the kitchen. No one had been shopping in awhile, so nearly every bag or box he picked up had less than a serving remaining. This peeved him. Why would someone put back something if it was basically gone?!

An idea popped up in Mark’s head. He could just combine several similar snacks into a fun mix of crunchy stuff. He took the last clean bowl in the cabinets and put it down on the lowest shelf of the pantry before sitting on his knees. Then he dumped out five different snacks that were similar enough in taste into the bowl. Unaware to the ruckus he was creating, Mark didn’t notice Yuta watching him in the doorway. The older was smiling to himself, as he watched Mark huff at a box that only had crumbs left. He was like a little mouse looking for dinner.

Yuta noticed the uncoordinated movements of Mark’s body and the stuffed animal on the floor next to him, so he knew what was up. He also knew that he couldn’t approach this situation in the way he would if Mark was in his normal mindset. This would be the perfect chance to scare him or something, but not when he was clearly in such a childlike vulnerable state. So, Yuta silently went back to his room and slowly walked out again, adding extra weight to his footsteps to make them louder. This way Mark was sure to know he was there. Before rounding the corner he heard a lot of shuffling and then a bump and clang!

*Uh oh* He thought to himself.

“Mark, you okay?” Yuta called out, entering the kitchen area.

Mark looked at him with the worlds guiltiest face and practically burst into tears. In front of him was a dusty crumbly mess of snacks all over the floor and the bowl he dropped. He was trying so hard to stay under the radar and blew it! The stupid table got in his way and hit his hand.

“Oh, uh it’s okay.” Yuta said, using his unpracticed english to the best of his ability. He had seen the countless times Mark had talked to Jaehyun, Johnny and even Taeyong in only english when he was little, so he knew what he had to at least try.

Mark’s lip wobbled and he hid his blushing face behind his frog toy. This was so embarrassing! He wasn’t even sure how to respond or why he felt so upset. Hot tears continued to well up in his eyes until they started rolling down his cheeks and dropping to the floor. He wanted to run away and hide under his bed, safe and sound. Yuta approached him slowly and stopped to crouch down and sweep some of the mess on the floor into his hands. Mark lowered his plushie and watched carefully.

“Can you help?” Yuta asked softly. Mark nodded and started copying the older. “Thank you.”

They picked up all the big pieces and dropped them in the trash. Mark was disappointed to see the food go, but he knew it would be all yucky with floor germs. Yuta swept up the little crumbs, finishing off the clean up. He heard Mark’s stomach rumbling near by and realized he needed to figure out what to feed him. Delivery was the best option since Mark could pick whatever he wanted without any confusion between them. He brought Mark back to his bedroom and pulled up a delivery app on his phone.

Mark’s room was fairly dim, only lit by the sun that could make it through all the clouds and to his window. It was similar to a bear cave. His laptop was still playing Mr. Rogers, so he climbed into bed and silently watched the next episode. However, a minute later, Yuta was handing him his phone and pointing to the meal options displayed on the screen. Mark got the message and giggled cutely. There were so many things he would like to have! Like cupcakes, doughnuts, pizza, fries, cookies, and fruit snacks. He ended up picking a small cheese pizza from his favorite restaurant in the area.

“Can I sit with you, Markie?” Yuta asked after ordering the food. He was lucky Mark understood korean while he was small, it was just his responses that were mostly english.

Mark nodded, scooting over to make some room. He got a little tense with Yuta being so close, but quickly melted into his side and started sucking on his fingers. Johnny always said “Mark don’t put your fingers in your mouth” but he wasn’t around to do so this time. This made him giggle to himself. Yuta couldn’t stop smiling over how precious he kept acting.

“It’s dis one!” Mark exclaimed suddenly, pointing at his laptop. His favorite episode was playing and showing the process of how crayons are made.

Yuta didn’t really have any idea what he was seeing. He didn’t grow up with shows hosted by lovely old men in sweaters with puppet friends. It was quite endearing how the simplicity of it could retain Mark’s attention. Pretty melodic tunes rang here and there, sounding like something out of a dream. Even though Yuta had no idea what the older gentleman was saying, he could understand the enjoyment behind it.

Mark, feeling a little less shy, looked up at Yuta to see if he was watching the show. Sometimes he caught Taeil or Haechan using their phones instead of paying attention to what he wanted to watch with them. It made him sad sometimes because he knew it meant they weren’t all that interested in something Mark loved. However, Yuta was watching. He looked quite focused, too. This made Mark feel all bubbly and warm inside. He expressed it with some giggling and a quick wiggle. This was going better than he expected it to.

“Yuyu, I don’t feel scared.” He stated randomly. It took Yuta a couple seconds to quickly translate the sentence.

“That’s good. Do you feel safe?” He asked, looking at Mark and tilting his head.

“Mhm!” Mark nodded. “I’m happy.”

Yuta chuckled with a big smile and gave Mark a squeeze, hearing him squeal with delight. He should’ve approached little Mark much sooner, but he didn’t want to cross his friends boundaries. Waiting for Mark to be ready was the right decision and a spill of a snack got them to that point. Quite a silly coincidence.
