[littletism]

feel free to ask me any of these!!! this 20 questions game is by @/tiny-tk!

[sunnysagereblog]

(Credit to @tiny-tk for making this.)

1. I was 18.

2. A discord server I was in had started an agere channel, and I was curious what agere was, so I did some research, and the rest is history.

3. Kiddo, kid, small fry, sweetie, shorty, and tiny.

4. A little. I love mlp music and bubblegum pop music like E. T. by Toy-Box.

5. Dekomori from Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions, Filo from Rise of the Shield Hero, and Milim from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. I don't really relate to them when I'm not regressed.

6. Involuntarily. I've tried to force it. It does work as well.

7. Music and/or certain anime like Black Clover, Love, Chunibyo, and Other Delusions, and Madoka Magica. Other than that, it's kinda random.

8. I want a real caregiver so bad. Currently, all I have is fictional caregivers which is nice but I'd still love a real one.

9. Nothing official. I do have genuine reason to believe I have ADHD and Autism due to extensive research I've done on the topics to become more educated about them, but it's not official, so take that with a grain of salt.

10. Kinda. My brother and few friends know, I even have a best friend who age regresses. I'm definitely more open about it online tho.

11. Home. It's safe at home.

12. Spelling things incorrectly. I do have some minor spelling quirks when I'm regressed, but it's very different from what I see most age regressors do.

13. I become a bit more excitable when regressed but also more nervous when I'm alone in a public setting. I'm more outwardly happy when I'm little, unlike when I'm big, I'm more inwardly happy if that makes sense.

14. No. I'm a Christian and don't believe in changing your name or pronouns (no hate to people who do, tho. I still love and respect you regardless)

15. Tumblr and sometimes youtube.

16. I don't know, honestly. Does watching Black Clover count?

17. Green! I love my plants (I really need to water them 😬)

18. Gon from HxH, Akko, and Diana from Little Witch Academia.

19. Fuyu from Blush Blush, Raph from Rottmnt, Sundrop from FNAF, Captain Yami from Black Clover, Kunikida from BSD, and Tfa Optimus Prime.

20. Idk. I was pretty well informed from the beginning.

1, 4 and 5 for the agere ask game! 🩵

EEE thank you for the ask!!! :D

1 - "How did you first find out about agere in general"

Short answer Fanfiction on wattpad 😂 a bit more of a detailed answer here lol → <3

4 - "Does your music taste change when you're regressed? If so, how?"

This is kinda hard to answer because I listen to so many different genres of music, some stuff I don't listen to when regressed and some stuff I do. Stuff that is normally a safe bet when I'm regressed tho is anything sung by comfort actors (I have a playlist on Spotify and am working on one on YouTube too :3) and Disney songs!!!

5 - "Which fictional character(s) do you most relate to (or kin) when you're little? Do you still relate to them when not regressed?"

I have a few, not gonna share character names as there A) are a few and B) an obvious pattern with the characters and just yea don't wanna share that lol 😅 but I do still relate to them even when not regressed <3

[stormi-the-pup]

1, 15, 17 for the agere asks !! :) also it’s wonderful to see more regressors supporting palestine -🪻

Omg hi!! Yes, Palestine is a VERY important topic to me. I post more about it on my main blog and other/personal socials than I do on this blog, I try to post less about it here because I know some people may not want to see that on an agere blog (Understandable, but I’m trying to think of ways to still talk about it on here as well)

Anyway! Questions!

1. I found out about agere when I was a lot younger (~6 years ago), and I wasn’t very sure about it at first because the content I saw wasn’t very friendly ૮(˶ㅠ︿ㅠ)ა but when COVID-times rolled around, I found myself with a lot of stress and spare time, so I found myself involuntarily regressing and then I became more involved with other regressors!!!

2. Usually for agere content I’ll use Tumblr, sometimes TikTok, but I don’t recommend TikTok because a lot of people are quite rude on there. If you can handle it, there’s a lot of good creators, but there’s also a lot of hate so please be wary!!!! I also like to use Pinterest, my agere board has 1k+ pins ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)

3. My favorite color is pink, if you can’t tell, hehe. My favorite pink thing… it’s a split between a few. I have my backpack which is pink and decorated in buttons, my hairbrush that is pink and sparkly, and my pink keyboard!! I use all of those often, so I’d say they’re my favorite!! 💕💗💖💞💓🌸🎀🌷🩰🦩🩷🐷💝💘🌺

[chickpea0]

Could I please ask you questions 1, 5, 7 and 16 for the ask game? 🐇💕 Please take all the time you need lil chickadee!

Ahhh thank you very much for asking!!

1. how did you first find out about agere in general?

Ironically, mostly cringe comps were how I found out about the community! When I was pretty young, I watched a handful (didn't actually like them) and while at first I didn't really understand it, I thought it wasn't something to make fun of. Age regression and be pretty mild for me so it wasn't until a few years later until I figured out that's what I was experiencing!

5. which fictional characters do you most relate to (or kin) when you’re little? do you still relate to them when you’re not regressed?

Hmmmmmmm. Bit of a weird one but maybe Misfortune from the (horror) game Little Misfortune? Mixed with Coraline? I struggle keeping track of all the characters I relate to!! And honestly I don't think that much about that when I'm small. Maybe a touch of Mae from NITW too, with how silly she is! :D

7. what most often makes you regress?

Getting reeeeeally cosy. Wrapped up in my duvet reading regression fics is so lovely. And joy! Childlike wonder never gets old.

16. what’s a niche or unpopular interest you associate with your regression?

Not super niche but animals! I'm a big animal nerd and often, when I put on an animal documentary (or dino doc) I get really happy and defo go a bit baby lol They're just so cool...

thank you for asking!!!

20 agere questions!

[marshmellowtea]

"6: Age you get mistaken for", "9: Got any piercings?", and/or "21: What I love most about myself"? :3

waugh thank you!! <3

6: Age you get mistaken for

so many people think i'm like. a teenager? like i always hear fifteen or sixteen, it's always so funny to see the look of shock on their faces when i tell them i'm 22, haha. in their defense, though, i've had basically the same face since i was a kid, literally if you look at a picture of me as a toddler versus a picture of me now very little has changed so XD

9: Got any piercings?

unfortunately no but GOD do i want them!! my sibling has offered to pierce my ears if i buy a piercing kit off of amazon, which, listen, i understand that's risky, but he's given himself piercings before, so as long as i do all the aftercare i trust him to not give me an infection lmao. i also have some that i want that should probably be done by a professional but that's not what the question is asking so i'll stop there i guess hgldskjflk

21: What I love most about myself

agh, the trick of self love again! this may seem a little superficial but i genuinely love the way i have interest in/am willing to dabble in things that are so, like.....varied? idk, i know it's not super unique ghaldkfj, but looking at my past and current hyperfixations, a lot of them are pretty different from each other, and i think that's kinda neat? it's not just that either--my playlists are comprised of, well, mostly indie lol, but there's a mishmash of other genres too, sometimes ones that feel like they probably shouldn't go together but that i love and wanna share with the world equally anyway, creatively i've had at least a passing interest in wanting to try my hand in creating a lot of different art forms (book writing, webcomics, game design, tv shows....), and hell, my blog is a messy collage of things i like and interest me no matter how much they clash, and i. i don't know, i think that's kinda neat! i think i'm cool for it! or at least i'd like to think so ghldksfjk idk y'all can be the judge of that i guess. i just think it's fun :')

[tiny-tk]

. :+* day 10: are you open about your age regression irl? how about online outside of tumblr?

the short answer is not really, but there are a few exceptions. my 2 best friends know and are super cool about it (one of whom is an irl kind of ???? only when i’m not away for uni) and i’m in a few agere discord servers with an account that ppl could theoretically use to get to non-agere spaces im in and out me which would SUCK BAD so i’m just hoping that doesn’t happen ever skfhdkdh

most people can’t tell if i’m regressed so fortunately i don’t need to do much to hide it, my roommates don’t know but i feel like if i took the time to explain it they wouldn’t really be surprised. it’s just a lot easier to avoid that potentially uncomfortable conversation when there isn’t really any extra harm in hiding it anyway :3 if anyone were to ask me straight up “hey are you an age regressor” i’d totally say yes, i just don’t wanna be the one to bring it up if that makes sense? i don’t like confrontation ><

[littletism]

:3 hi for ur q/a thing 20?

hi!! ty for asking :3

i think the one thing i wish i knew was which platforms to use and which platforms to stay away from. i've known i was an age regressor for nearly 10 years, however i didnt actually get into agere spaces until last year or so. my big introduction to it were platforms like twitter, pinterest, and roblox. those are HORRIBLE spaces to be introduced to the community on, because i was quick to realize that the age regressors in those communities are quick as heck to point figures at you and get you blacklisted from their little communities if you do even ONE thing they consider "impure" or "disgusting". they love to claim people are nsfw when they arent. my only guess as to why its like that is because the agere spaces on those platforms are mainly dominated by minors, who, no offense to kids but.. they tend to be a little more goofy than adults when it comes to stuff like that. when i discovered agere tumblr i realized what a true agere space is supposed to look like. while it's not perfect, it's much better than those horrible spaces.

12 and 2 on the agere ask game <3333

Haiii thank you for asking!!! :3

12 - "What's something typically associated with agere that you don't do?"

Hmm I don't verbally babble or really make any noise when regressed, I don't verbally play with toys or 'communicate' with plushies I do that in my head normally. I don't know if that counts but yea 🤷🏻😅

2 - "How did you first find out that you were a regressor?"

I was scrolling on wattpad (truly terrifying experience lol) and found a bunch of fandom agere works, I read them and that led me down a rabbit hole and I kinda realised that it was something I'd been doing for a while I just didn't have a name for it before-

[dadzawa-abc]

Hii, I really hope I'm not bothering you with asking this. But I've gotten to see quite a bit of post about age-regression? Is that how I'm supposed to type it?? Sorry if I typed that wrong, especially if that made you uncomfortable. English is not my first language. Anyway, I was wondering, I guess, what age-regression is? Cause like I said, I saw I lot of it, both recently and in the past. But I've also gotten told in the past, well, not any good things about the people who age-regress? I'm not saying I agree with those things I got told. Those weren't any nice things, so yeah. However, if others aren't hurting me, themselves, or other people, then I usually leave most people alone. But in short, I'm curious and want to know more? Cause, well good sources are good. If that's okay? If not, you can just delete and forget about this. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable. Have a good day or night!

☁️ what is age regression? ☁️

(long post); a TLDR at the bottom

Hey anon! Thank you so much for stopping by to ask your question. I'll be answering it for you today -🧸 Hawks.

first of all, I'd like to say that yes, you did type it right! English isn't our first language either, so we understand! People also may spell "age regression" as "agere" which is just a shorter version of it. So when someone spells it that way, they're the same thing./information

-Now, what is age regression? What's it used for? :

age regression is, in short, a coping mechanism where people may mentally regress to a younger age than themselves physically. Example, let's say person A is an age regressor. They are 20 years old. But regress to a much younger age. Like 3-6 years old. Age regression is very different with every person who does it, so that doesn't mean a single person has to regress the same age. Someone could regress to be a newborn, another can regress to be a middle (which is around 10-teenager age) if I'm not wrong. Anyone can regress to any age, depending the person. Age regression is a healthy way to cope. Age regression is a professional therapist recommended coping mechanism, and it does not hurt the user who does it, or anyone around them. Age regression can also be for fun. Some, if not, majority regressors do regress due to trauma. To restore their childhood that they never had. Or to relive a childhood they wish they had. Whiles others who may do it for fun, doesn't have to use their regression as a coping mechanism. Hey can age regression because hey, it's fun to do! And so it's isn't something that you can only do if you have trauma. Everyone can do it. Trauma related or not

- is age regression harmful/bad?

⚠️ Tw/CW: ageplay talk ⚠️

Not at all! People whom may tell you that "regression is bad because ___!" Is usually the ones who don't do research. Age regression is a safe-for-work coping mechanism. Which means it's never sexual, or a kink. Alot of people who aren't in the community will assume age regression is just a kink thing, and that is untrue! Many people will get "ageplay/ddlg" mixed with age regression. While age regression is never inappropriate, and is appropriate for all ages to do, ageplay is a kink to.. hopefully just something adults do. Ageplay, is a BDSM kink where someone will pretend to be a younger child while their partner, whom they'd usually call: daddy/mommy/whatever title, they will do inappropriate things with them.

Meanwhile, age regression is a lot different. Like I said, agere is a safe for work coping mechanism. And NO little, (which is whom we call someone who age regresses) will pretend to be a child for sexual reasons. When someone age regresses, they mentally revert back to a much younger age and sometimes can't even do things they'd normally do when big (which is what we call them when they aren't in a regressed state anymore). They physically (mentally physically,) regress to an age of a child. And the difference between that and ageplay, someone who participates in ageplay will never mentally regress to a younger age. They pretend to be, for sexual desires and kinks. They do it on purpose for sexual pleasure, while people who age regress can't consent at all when they're little. Since they actually do regress mentally to mostly 10 and under. (But even if they regressed around being in their teens), they still can't consent.

-some popular titles (that you may want to know)

What is a caregiver?: A caregiver, is someone who will take care of the little when they're regressed. A caregiver can take on a father role, mother role, sister, brother, etc. (Solely depending how the little sees them/and how the cg would like to be called)

What is a little?: A little is someone who age regresses

What is a flip?: A flip, is someone who regresses, AND is a caregiver.

what is a pet?: While I'm not saying pets are the same as age regression, it does exist. An age regressor may regress, but may also be a pet regressor (or) someone isn't a little but be a pet regressor instead. pet regressors has very similar concept with age regression. While age regressors regress to a younger age mentally, pet regressors will regress to an animal. (Ex; cat, dog, bird, deer, dragon, fawn, list goes on) and just like age regression, is SFW

TLDR; Age regression is a SFW coping mechanism that is therapist recommended and is not at all harmful to them, or others. Age regression can also be used for fun and doesn't have to be trauma based to regress. All ages, genders, sexualities, races can regress. Age regress is for everyone and isn't something only feminine, petite or hot pink lovers can enjoy. Everyone can regress no matter what anyone says about it.

I don't know alot of resources to direct you to, but I wouldn't really recommend google either. Google is a "trust me bro" and "he said she said" deal. It'll tell you false things and it'll mix age regression with something completely different. But I find # agere resources tag a very helpful place to scroll in. So I'd recommend checking there if anything answers anymore questions you have. Hope this answers your question, anon. Feedback is amazing so if you have any more questions or anything, let me know
