May I ask for Cove Holden as a cg to an age regressor? I just adore him so much. Maybe an extra sliver of his parents as occasional babysitters?
YOU kind annon, are speaking my language.
Cove Holden Caregiver Headcannons
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He had noticed you never grew out of certian childish intrests, and one day while you were in your room together he managed to ask you about it.
If you know and explain it to him he listens, his seafoam eyes soft as he absorbs all the information you tell him. If you dont know, he is quick to comfort you, and more than willing to help you reseach it!
Tumblr media
OCEAN THEMED NICKNAMES!! Sanddollar, little wave, little fish, etc etc
Not very comfortable with Parental nicknames, prefers his name or some variation of Bubba
Lots of beach trips. Like. Practically living on the beach
Takes his surfboard out with you and you just sit on it together and relax as the waves rock you both
SWIMMING!! getting far enough away from the shore to where the waves just rock you slightly, floating together
Lets you name all the fish in his fish tank- and actually remebers thier names
Adores if you absently trace his scar(s) with one of your fingers
He already doesnt like caffinated drinks, so juice or smoothies are the only options
Lots of on-the-go snacking, nuts and fruit and seeds
Loves sitting you on his lap and because hes so freakishly tall it makes you feel tiny
ALWAYS holding your hand
Nervous carer
Probably messier than his regressor
Bathtime KING
Loves night walks on the beach
Likes to catch fireflys and do activities you did as kids together.
Tumblr media
KYRA and CLIFF babysitting!!!
Kyra notices you seem off and asks Cove about it, and when he tells her she is elated to have a kid to look after again (she still feels bad for missing out on Cove's childhood)
Impulsive yet still healthy auntie behavior; makes you cute healthy snacks but will take you out to McDonalds if you look sad
Snuggles with Kyra >>>>>
Cliff on the other hand literally has to have it pointed out and explained to him, likely Cove worrying about him asking you even if he didnt actually notice before
protective to the Nth degree
silly silly man, always tries to make you laugh
family card games excpet they all play to let you win

Responsibility and Regression
One thing I don’t think is discussed enough in the agere community is regressors who are very responsible and mature outside of headspace. There’s so much infantilism surrounding age regression, even within the community itself, that the maturity of the regressor themself is often left out of the picture.
Even though we regress, plenty of us are perfectly responsible adults outside of headspace. We have jobs. We have families. We have pets, cars, bills, etc—just like the rest of the world. Just because someone is a regressor doesn’t automatically (and most of the time doesn’t!) make them “immature” or “childish.”
Yes, there is some amount of ‘Peter Pan’ in us; we have latched onto a safer, younger headspace for our mental health’s benefit. But that doesn’t make you an incapable adult. Even perma-regressors should be recognized for their maturity; they have to manage their lives even inside of that younger-headspace. And that’s really remarkable. It can be tough trying to fit all these real-life problems into regression. Everyone struggles with the overwhelming sense of insecurity the world has thrown at us, which feels even heavier when you have a child’s headspace. I know I’ve said this for numerous problems before, BUT BE KIND TO YOURSELF! Be patient as you figure it out! You can do it!
So take this as your reminder that (1) You are a valid regressor is you have a mature life outside of Little Space, (2) That regressors don’t have to fit into the boxes of “adults who refused to grow up,” and (3) It’s okay to struggle with that responsibility as well.
Little Space can be an escape from these problems, and that doesn’t:t make you incapable, or less worthy than non-regressors. You’re awesome, alright? Lots of love, everyone, and happy regressing

Our new chance, pt.4
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Agatha and Rio are given a new chance. 
It's age regression, if you don't like it, don't read it - NEXT CHAPTER WE’RE GOING TO SEE MORE ABOUT AGERE
Alice is the reader's name, unrelated to the show.
I'm going to write several chapters, so it may take a while for the story to unfold. 
English its not my first language.
Rio and Agatha help Alice to get ready on the bed in the guest room, so that the couple can go back to sleep and Alice can start resting.
"Okay, I think everything's ready for you to go to rest," Rio says leaning against the guest room door next to Agatha, staring at Alice who was sitting on the bed.
"Do you need anything else before you go to sleep?" Agatha asks less indifferently this time.
"No, it's all very well, thank you for the evening Miss Agatha and Rio," Alice replies formally and the two older women laugh lightly.
"When you wake up, you can call Agatha and I, okay?" Rio asks, waiting for the girl to answer, but she only nods.
"We'll let you rest now, good night... Alice..." Agatha replies with a sad smile and leaves before the girl can answer.
"Door open or closed dear?" Rio asks
"Open please" she replies shyly and Rio nods.
"Good night, anything just call me”
"Thank you, good night..." Alice replies and Rio leaves her alone to go to her and Agatha's room to go back to sleep.
As soon as she hears the two of them, she quietly goes to her backpack and takes out a teddy, a teddy she wouldn't sleep without at all. She went back to bed, lying under the softest covers she had ever seen or come close to. The house was very comfortable. She wished she'd had a life like that....
She decided to go to bed soon, because she wanted to wake up before the women so that she could leave without them noticing. 
She just didn't know how to deal with goodbyes, and she was in a bad situation, she didn't want to have to talk about it. And what if Rio and Agatha changed their minds in the end, and called the police on her, and they took her to a shelter or back to her mother. That would be terrible.
She decides to push the bad thoughts away and hugs her teddy and falls into a deep sleep.
----
In the early hours of the morning, all three of the girls in the house were sleeping soundly but restlessly. It was a restless night. 
Near dawn, Alice woke up, realizing that she was lucky to have been the only one to wake up.
She looked around the room and mentally thanked herself for a comfortable night's sleep. But she had to leave. 
Alice politely tidies up the bed and leaves the room as it was. She even manages to find pen and paper to write "thank you". 
She puts her favorite stuffed animal back in her backpack and leaves the room as quietly as possible, this time being very careful not to make any noise.
----
Agatha's dream
Nicky appeared in her dream, they were lying on the grass, the little family present. Rio, Agatha and Nicky. Laughing and telling stories.
Until the boy sat up abruptly, looking frightened. 
"Nicky, baby, what happened?" Agatha asks, sitting down next to her son with her wife accompanying her.
He looks desperately at them both.
"She's leaving, moms! She's leaving!" He despairs, gasping for breath.
"Who? Who's leaving?" Rio asks, confused by her son's reaction. 
"My sister, my sister Alice!" He starts to cry, and the two women look at each other in fright without understanding "Don't let her go, go! Quick, don't let her go! Wake up! Wake up!" Nicky begins to speak repeatedly.
These words echoed in Agatha's mind. She wakes up gasping 
“She's leaving!" She says, nudging Rio awake.
"What?" Rio asks sleepily.
"Alice is leaving," she says, getting up and looking for Rio to do the same. 
Rio then obeys her wife's pleading look and quickly gets out of bed. The two of them head for the stairs. Agatha holds Rio's hand and looks at her deeply.
"It's really her..." she says, starting to tear up "Nicky told me..."
Rio looks at her in shock, with her heart in her hand, but gives Agatha a reassuring smile. 
The two then run back up the stairs and spot Alice about to open the door and leave. The girl doesn't even notice them.
"No!" Agatha shouts and Alice jumps up frightened "Don’t go" the woman holds back the tears that insist on coming out.
Alice turns to face the women. "How did they know?" She thinks.
"Where are you going?" Rio asks in a slightly lower voice, trying not to scare the girl any more.
Alice lowers her head in shame.
"I have to go, I can't stay..." she replies in a whisper 
"Why not?" Agatha asks, moving closer to the girl.
"This isn't my home... I have to find my place" Alice looked at Agatha, who was visibly upset.
Agatha sighs and puts her hand on the younger girl's chin, making her stare at her. Rio approached, even though she knew Agatha wouldn't hurt the girl, she knew her wife was upset by the dream she'd had. 
"But it can be," Agatha finally says, and Alice opens her eyes in surprise, "this can be your home, you don't have to leave."
Rio also looked at the woman in surprise. This was an exciting and confusing moment for everyone.
"What do you mean?" Alice asks in a shaky, unsure voice.
"She's saying that we want you to stay," Rio interferes, hugging her wife and looking at Alice's soft but frightened features.
"But.... But why?" The girl asks confused. No one ever wanted her, never made a point of her presence, this had to be a joke. She began to cry, her thoughts racing.
"Because it's been right... since the beginning," Agatha replies, this time letting a tear fall. She takes Alice's hands and holds them, caressing them "What do you think, darling?" 
They all sit in silence for a minute, thinking, confused and breathless. 
"I think... I think I want to stay too" Alice replies with a shy smile

Why I recommend age regression as a way to cope.
If you're stressed the F out, feel like you missed out or lost your childhood, or have terrible coping mechanisms? Then this is the post for you. (Maybe.)
Also before we jump in—Just wanna say that I'm not a psychologist, I'm just sharing tips and advice from my own positive and negative experiences. And that age regression may not work for you after you've tried it, but I say give it a shot! Especially if your current ways of dealing with life aren't.... great.
With all that our of the way—Post beneath cut!
So here's some resources for a TLDR version! But I'll be explaining age-regression, it's benefits to me, and why I encourage others to try!
Remember it is ALWAYS sfw! (Which means agere isn't a kink, never has been and never will be!)
So age-regression, or it's shortened name Agere (Takes Age, and the Re from Regression and combines them!) Is a form of dissociation in which someone mentally reverts back to a younger age! This can be anywhere from a few years younger, such as a 17 year old regressing to a 15 year old. Or it can be many years younger—Example being a 17 year old regressing to a 4 year old!
During this state: they are mentally younger, either fully or partially depending on the person. And do think like said age. And often their behaviors correspond with their regressed age, assuming they aren't masking it!
Sometimes you are aware you're regressed, and other times you're not—Both are completely fine!
It's a wonderful way to relive your childhood in a safe environment, feel young and cared for again like a child, or express your inner child!
Okay, but why would I use that to cope?
Don't worry, I hear your questions!
The reason it's a good coping mechanism, for me atleast, is regressing allows you to process your emotions at your own pace. Though they might still be overwhelming, I find it much easier to let my big emotions calm down when I feel small, because it's like they slowly burn off rather than going boom!
If you're stressed a lot, it's a good way to temporarily remove yourself from your burdens! Like you don't have any worries other than 'should I use the pink or blue crayon?' Vibes! Pressure slowly bleeding off rather than having an outburst.
And, for fun! It can be fun to connect with your inner child, do the things you liked as a kid and reunited with that mindset! You don't need to have missed out on your childhood to regress, it can be completely for fun!
Now now, age regression isn't always all fun and games. Because you do think like whatever age you've regressed to, you might have temper tantrums or get cranky or confused if something triggers it.
That's okay.
Yeah, it can feel icky—But me personally, i much prefer these occasionally than letting my emotions boil over and having a breakdown when I'm not regressed!
I've lost and wasted a lot of my childhood. This is my way of healing and re-experiencing childhood joy. Please, don't ever forget that type of wonder, it's so magical and so nice and cozy.
It's a way to cope because it can be an outlet, a comfort, a way to regulate emotions, a way to escape, a way to just relax. And, while not everyone turns out liking it, that's okay! But it works for me, and so so many others. I've had atleast 6 or so friends start regressing and they're still doing it to this day!
And the best part is it's temporary, so if there's more mature things you enjoy? You don't have to give those up, okay? You can find time to regress and relax, and come back to your normal routine later!
It's benefits can be:
Destressing.
Processing lots of emotions at once.
Enjoyment.
Getting to do things you were denied as a child.
Able to let out emotions via tantrums or fits in a much less destructive headspace.
Reliving a simpler mindset.
Helping with sleeping. (I find it much easier to nap/go to bed if I'm regressed!)
Getting a fresh feeling after you're done regressing.
Stimulating if understimulated.
Can help if you're also overstimulated.
Healing inner child.
Coping with trauma/stress in a healthy way.
Help with doing chores. (It's way easier to make chores fun if you're regressed in my experience, but some hate doing chores while regressed and that's cool too!)
And it can be different for each person!
It is absolutely okay to have a different experience, struggle regressing at first or even always, or not do it often!
I recommend if you want to start regressing—Find something that makes your inner child happy, indulge in the best things you liked or would've liked as the age you wanna regress to, find ways to incorporate your current interests into it!
Also things that you like, or positive things can help too!
It's honestly my best coping mechanism, it isn't 'weird' or 'wrong' especially if it helps you. And I can guarantee it's far better than plenty of unhealthy coping mechanisms!
Sooo... yeah! If you want, I recommend looking more into it! There's a whole community for you here on Tumblr, and other sites!
And this post mainly only covers the positives, but it's what I wanted to focus on!
Byee!! (Pssstt BTW agere doesn't have to be all pastels and cute and stuff!! Do what makes you happy! Use whatever colours and vibes you want!)

Can you write Morticia x Larissa x Reader where reader (0-3) (also a shapeshifter like Larissa and shifts when she regresses) is their wife/little and when reader regresses they take her to a pumpkin patch and come home and carve the pumpkin and just loads of fluff and cuteness, please?
Pumpkins day out
*authors note~ AND IM BACKKKKKK! hey y’all okay so this is small intro to being back activly posting now I feel my life is in somewhat order and let me tell you I’ve missed you guys sm. I’ve read every comment ask and dm of kind words and I’m so grateful for y’all being so patient with me! Let’s get it started, imma tweak this one ever so slightly but I just wanna say I love when you guys tell me what you want me to write next as it helps keep me focused and insuring you guys are getting content you want :)*
Trigger warnings~ Agere? Little fem shapeshifter r, mommy morticia, momma Larissa (everything that occurs has been spoken about when r is in her age appropriate head space)
Prompt~see ask^^^^^
(Banner to be added)
Distressed muffled whimpers carried themselves into the principals office alongside the pitter patter of tiny feet indicating your presence was imminent. The two occupants being your wives or rather care givers in this head space. It’s not uncommon for the two elder women to wake before you especially after your late night antics that resulted in you slipping off to sleep in sub space. It was almost routine for you to wake up in little space. Being a shifter allowed your body to lean into your headspace meaning they were almost always greeted by a darling little girl ranging from infant to toddler ages.
Like clockwork your little body came barrelling in through the mahogany doorway and straight into your mommy’s awaiting arms. Her long flowy onyx dress providing the perfect sensory input to help calm your little state. Her words dripping in smooth silk as she stood to full height swaying you gently in her arms as Larissa watched on with an adoring smile. Her two loves looking ever so naturally them always brought her a sense of peace she could never recreate no matter how much she tried.
The fall always created a beautiful almost picturesque landscape of the Nevermore grounds at this time of year. The chill of autumn air being a welcomed change from the blazing heat as Augusts final goodbye. Students of Nevermore spending their time acclimatising to dorm life, new schedules and a whole new academic year. Far too busy to notice what wholesome activities were occurring in the office.
“Momma” you sniffed effortlessly breaking the blonde out of her own thoughts. “Yes little pumpkin” she whispered before attacking your cheeks with sweet kisses. Your infectious giggles causing Tish to let a small smile grace her lips as she found the desired outfit for the day. “Mommy momma me go gets jack-o’-lantern from patch” your excitement practically vibrating from your small frame. “Oh is that so little love? It can’t be that time already can it?” She pretended to ponder, searching her very organised calendar for your initials scrawled in a beautiful heart shape.
“Mommy” you whimpered as Larissa still continued to not see what was so clearly labelled causing the raven haired woman to tut in response, “don’t tease my sweet girl Larissa darling” before easily scooping you up and giving the order to get ready for your yearly traditions. “Momma was teasing baby, we are going to find our pumpkins don’t you worry little pumpkin” Tish reassured before loudly whispering about visiting the weathervane without the blonde if she wanted to tease you.
Unsurprisingly, the whole drive you sleepily clung to morticia as Larissa drove you all to the best pumpkin patch around Jericho. Only when the car stopped did your excitement hit you once again full force. All the pretty colours and leaves being scattered all over the ground, all calling out for you to come and jump around in. “Mommy” you whined as you attempted to wriggle out of the seatbelt by yourself with no success. “Momma” you pouted causing Larissa to chuckle and help get you out of the car where you happily held both their hands. Little giggles filled the air as you crunched the leaves under your little boots, eyes gleaming with pure joy. Both women lost count of how many times you’d run, jump and kick the crunchy fall leaves. Each time a squeal of pure joy and excitement left your little body. It almost broke their hearts to have to refocus your adorable self on the task at hand.
Naturally you had managed to burn yourself out of energy after all the running, jumping, kicking and arguing about which pumpkin you all needed to get. The task of selecting the biggest pumpkin the patch had to offer had taken over two hours with more playful arguments and moments where you’d ran after a falling leaf insisting on catching it for Larissa and Mortica . Now you ended up snuggled into Morticia’s chest being carried to the car with tiny fists rubbing at your eyes as larissa hauled your chosen one to the car. By now the chilled air had Larissa wanting to frequent her favourite place besides Jericho. All the way to the weathervane you snoozed and the two women bantered back and forth about how wrong they were years ago. Larissa had never managed to lose the nickname of stately sequoia tree, morticia remaining the lumberjack and you their precious pumpkin. Hot chocolates secured the women had some how managed to succeed in moving you and the pumpkin into Larissa’s office before arranging the supplies you’d need when you awoke.
Your obsession recently had been black cats so it was easy for the women to find a cute yet Halloween appropriate stencil for you to use. Together they helped you carve and gut the pumpkin while laughing and loving on you. Your little heart filled with a type of joy that you never had as a child. The atmosphere and love was not something you’d had the pleasure to experience until them either. “Fanks best day ever momma mommy I wuvs you” you mumbled as all three of you admired the work of art.

Short story : A Day with Nanami
It was a crisp Saturday morning, and the sun had just begun to peek through the curtains of the cozy apartment Nanami Kento shared with his little one. Today was a special day, a day free from work, a day dedicated solely to spending time with his beloved !
Nanami gently roused his little one from sleep, his voice a soft whisper, "Good morning, sunshine. Time to wake up"
The sleepy eyes blinked open, and a smile spread across the age regressed one face's "Gwood mowning, dada..."
After a nutritious breakfast of oatmeal topped with fresh fruits, prepared with care by Kento, the two set off for their morning walk in the nearby park. The crisp air and vibrant fall colors brought a sense of calm and joy
"Look, Papa ! A squiwwel!" you exclaimed, pointing excitedly
Nanami chuckled. "Yes, it's gathering acorns for the winter. Just like how we prepare for our day"
Back home, it was time for a bit of learning. Nanami had set up a puzzle on the living room floor. "Let's see if we can put this together," he said, sitting down beside his sweetheart. They worked together, Nanami patiently guiding and teaching as you connected the pieces
After lunch, which they prepared together, sandwiches cut into fun shapes and a colorful salad, came storytime. Nanami's deep, soothing voice filled the room as he read from a book of fables. The little one listened intently, eyes wide with wonder.
As the night grew quiet, Nanami sat beside the bed, reflecting on the day, grateful for the precious bond they shared.

☁️ Random Media recommendations ☁️
Tumblr media Tumblr media
🍼 Agere Edition 🍼
╰┈─➤ 🌕 These recommendations will also have age range recommendation with them! However: we believe that any little of any little age range can watch whatever they wish to (even if the media itself might be directed to an older audience, etc) the age range is just there for what I think age regressors may enjoy in that range / or what they might want to check out — 🎀
Tumblr media
1)) LEGO MONKIE KID.
Tumblr media
. Little age recommendation . ( 6-10+ )
. about . "Monkie Kid, also known as MK, a young teenager who leads a normal life as a noodle delivery boy until he is chosen for a legendary quest" -Via google.
. Why I personally recommend it . A very supportive and welcomed community. The show can be for both adults and kids to enjoy without the unnecessary adult themes such as cussing, heavy violence and inappropriate material. The community is also very LGBTQ+ friendly (by the artists, and even some of the voice actors) such as MK having "he/they" pronouns — the main voice actor acknowledging (and very welcoming) a popular MLM ship of the character they VA.
. where to watch . Amazon prime video and HappyKids (Amazon prime as far to my knowledge has all 4 seasons. HappyKids only have 3-4 seasons available for free there)
2)) OK KO! (let's be heros)
Tumblr media
. Little age recommendation . ( 0-2 / 0-5 )
. About . "In the future year 201X, naive youngster K.O. aspires to be a superhero in a video game-inspired world set in Lakewood Plaza. Him and his friends go on adventures while also foiling their enemy (and Villian) Boxman and his henchmen' plans"
. Why I personally recommend it . Majority of our littles watch this show, especially our littles who regress a very young age. They enjoy it, and it's very kid friendly. Another friendly community with the main two Villians who's a canon MLM married couple
. Where to watch . Prime video and Hulu
3)) Craig of the Creek
Tumblr media
. Little age recommendation . ( 4-12+ )
. About . "Following the adventures of Craig Williams and his two friends, Kelsey Pokoly and John Paul `JP' Mercer, as they explore the untamed wilderness of the Creek, which is dominated by tribes of children." -Via google
. Why I personally recommend it . The show just sits right with me. All of our littles (and even caregivers) enjoy this show. Never bored of the show's episodes and it keeps me entertained everytime I watch it. Once again, a very friendly community. The show isn't afraid to show off that some of their characters are LGBTQ+ (mostly consistent of non-binary characters and Gay characters)
. Where to watch . Prime video, Hulu, Disney+, Max, Cartoon network
Tumblr media
🎀 — please let me know if you'd like a part 2 (or) would like to see more of this. I'm happy to recommend shows, songs, media, etc. Just ask!

Omg wait, you have so many fandoms I love, ok, ok could you make like a list of characters from theses shows and what they’d be? Like regressed, caregiver, ect? (So I can send asks based on that) I’m so excited right now
Arcane, Detroit Become Human, Last airbender, Our flag means death, and Six of crows/shadow and bone
happy 2024! this has been in my inbox forever but looks super fun to do! here’s my take on what characters would be regressors/caregivers for arcane, dbh and atla. I totally wrote way more than I expected to but here u are! <3 I’ll do a separate post for ofmd and soc bc they have so many characters I have opinions on.
Agere Character Headcanons
(Arcane, D:BH, ATLA)
Tumblr media
(jinx is me cooking up this thread)
Arcane
Tumblr media
Vi: As much as she’d be a wonderful caregiver, she’s absolutely a regressor. Being small reminds her of days spent with her parents and Powder, family trips to the fish markets of the coast and sunny days building sand castles at the beach. She tends to be on the older side, a natural tendency from a life spent as the older sibling, taking care of Powder. Vi’s a very active and vivacious little, playing outdoors and hanging off Caitlyn’s shoulders. Loves physical touch, hugs and high fives are the way to go.
Caitlyn: Caregiver all the way! I think she loves kids in general, and despite her awkward nature and sheltered upbringing, she finds it easy to take charge and step into the role of a protector. Definitely looks after Vi and is oftentimes too concerned about her safety. She loves taking the little out to the playground and to eat at Jericho’s food stall (even if she still refuses to eat a bowl of slop herself).
Tumblr media
Jinx: Tiniest, cutest, moodiest little troublemaker there is. Jinx regresses to about four or five years old, and absolutely bounces off the walls at all hours of the day. She’s not the quiet, sweet child she once was as Powder, but rather gets herself into trouble and feigns innocence. She loves to annoy both Silco and Sevika, clambering on the latter’s lap and hiding under Silco’s desk for games of hide and seek. Her mood changes rather drastically as well, as she can go from completely happy to hyperventilating sobbing from anything as simple as scraping a knee to refusing bedtime.
Tumblr media
Jayce: He’s a very attentive and high strung caregiver. Looking after Viktor is much easier than Caitlyn, Silco, or Sevika’s jobs, but Jayce always fusses over the little. He’s quick to scoop him up whenever it’s deemed necessary, and goes to Mel for help when he needs another pair of hands. Jayce loves caregiving because it gives him something to focus on other than his responsibility to Piltover, and enjoys simple play with his little like story time and building blocks.
Viktor: Super small and quiet regressor! Viktor can get very young, and has no qualms with depending on Jayce for help when he’s little. He likes to be snuggled up on a couch in a mound of blankets and is also content to sit and watch Mel paint the ships that go by the balcony of her apartment. Viktor is sweet and shy and doesn’t tend to verbalize his needs, but because Jayce is so attentive they mesh well together.
Detroit: Become Human
Tumblr media
Kara: Caregiver. Need I expand? It’s in her coding in the first place to protect and nurture. Upon her deviance, Kara realizes that even if she was made for it, she can still reclaim that part of herself for herself. She is quick to console whomever her little may be, and projects the kindest and warmest energy to the person she’s taking care of. Kara enjoys making up her own stories, and loves playing make believe with her regressor.
Tumblr media
Connor: One hundred percent a regressor. This little guy was shy and uncertain when he first started regressing, as he didn’t know what ‘normal’ behaviour from a deviant was, let alone how to process all the new emotions he was feeling. Connor loves to spend time at Hank’s house with Sumo, revelling in the feeling of the dog’s fluffy fur and laughing happily when he teaches Sumo all sorts of tricks. Connor is usually happy when regressed, but struggles with anxiety and asking for help. Hank is always there to walk Connor through his big feelings and encourages him to use his words.

Markus: He’s one of the most chaotic caregivers there is. You picked the pacifist route in the game? Doesn’t matter. This guy is unhinged when it comes to caregiving. Spoiling his little at any time possible, letting them stay up hours past their bedtime, giving them candy for breakfast and encouraging colouring on the walls. He spent so many years being exactly who Carl wanted him to be while also tasting freedom through Carl’s art that it brings him so much joy to see a regressor’s eyes sparkle when he says yes to whatever their heart desires. He’s also amazing at comforting a regressor. Big hugs and gentle eyes!

Tumblr media
Katara: Is a caregiver! Incredibly kind yet less patient than one (Sokka) might hope. Katara is quick to caution her little, always on the lookout for anything that they might hurt themselves with or on. But this doesn’t mean she hates fun! She adores the beach and using her bending to splash around, and is always ready to get her little an extra blanket or any snacks they ask for. She’s super sweet and falls into the role of a caregiver like she was made for it. Katara has even sewed a plushie or two as gifts, and has a knack for settling a regressor in front of a crackling fire and braiding their hair before bedtime.
Tumblr media
Sokka: Regressor for sure. Even though he’s a big brother he never let go of his goofy side, and it plays into so much of his behaviour when he’s regressed. He’s on the older side, around 6-8, and has so much energy he doesn’t know where to put it all. Queue him running around for hours, laughing at absolutely anything that Aang says and bothering Toph just so she’ll play with him. Sokka doesn’t cry, even when he takes a tumble (which is quite often) but is fussy when he doesn’t get his way. He’s a troublemaker, but his beaming smile lets him get away with plenty.
Aang: Honestly I think he’s a caregiver, but is more like a fun uncle than any other label. His sage airbender wisdom doesn’t come through often, which means he’s all about fun all the time. His childish side matches a little like Sokka’s constant energy, and he seems to vanish into a cloud of smoke when any tears come his way. And how did Sokka and Zuko get chocolate all around their mouths, you ask? Well, there’s no one to ask because Aang’s just taken off on his glider on some very important business.
Tumblr media
Zuko: LITTLE! REGRESSOR! TINY! Oh my goodness, he’s the first fictional character that I ever headcanoned as a regressor. There’s no need to delve into his trauma here, but the boy is in such a desperate need of healing his childhood that he regressed long before he even knew what it was. Regresses very young, between 2-5. Before meeting the Gaang he’d hang off of Uncle’s shoulder during Pai Sho tournaments on his ship and would shyly ask the crew members to play songs during music nights. His tough demeanour disappears completely when he’s regressed and he turns into a shy boy that is insistent on doing things himself and is quick to cry when he’s unable to, for example, wrap his robes the way he wants. Zuko has a turtleduck plushie that Katara sewed for him after Aang asked him what his favourite animal was and Sokka caught him cuddling up to Appa at night. Sweetest boy in the whole world.
Toph : Caregiver! Matches more with Aang’s style of caregiving than Katara’s, but still lands somewhere in the middle. Her earthbending gives her the ability to pick up on every tiny emotion that a regressor feels, and it means she’s prepared and in tune with every need, happy or unhappy, that someone needs. She tends to playfully tease Zuko and Sokka, but knows exactly where to draw the line with either boy based on the rhythm of their heart. Toph helps Aang when it comes to letting the boys do something Katara has specifically told them they’re not allowed to, and will always feign innocence when confronted by the eldest caregiver.

Demon Slayer Agere Fanfic: Small And Sinking, Why Do Things Keep Changing?
I finally got around to posting the agere fanfic on AO3!
This fanfic has been something that I’ve worked on for a while now (let’s say a few months), and it’s inspired by the one and only @z3r0b1tch35’s fanfic, No One Dies On My Watch, another agere fanfic that is like a slice of life, as each chapter details the adventures of the Demon Slayer cast while navigating the situations that come with age regression.
Special thanks to Zero for letting me base my fanfic on one of the chapters to his story, and a quick shoutout to @dragon-queen21 for helping me with a few parts of the story that I wanted to make sure was okay for readers!
Chapters 1 and 2 of “Small And Sinking” are available to read on AO3 via the link in this post! If you’re interested in looking at the fanfic that inspired this one, feel free to also check out “No One Dies On My Watch,” also on AO3!

House of hearth brain rot cause i love all the characters involved in it <3 i have never written for agere before so i hope this is good? Im sorry if this seems so long and drags on ;^;  ANYWAYSS you inspired me to do my own take on this idea <333
You were a street urchin. Often living off of scraps and stolen goods whenever possible in the streets of fontaine. You had only lived your life in a small part of the nation, too scared to leave what left you feeling safe and comfortable- not to mention your unsteady income to provide for yourself, you couldn't really risk leaving to explore the nation you lived in. Sometimes there would be street performances, small looks into what the Opera House entailed whenever it was not being used for court trials. There were singers that you could hear from streets above, dancers who hypnotized you with their elegance, but your most favorite of them all- the magicians, specifically the twins Lyney and Lynette. They were held in high esteem in the eye of Fontaine, though their popularity had dropped because of their recent trial and some discoveries that had been leaked through it. Youd hadnt known of what exactly happened, let alone did you care. You were after all a bit too busy trying to survive than to gossip about other people and their own well beings. 
Still, even with all their controversy you had been there for most of their street performances. You always were one of the firsts to arrive, vibrating with excitement and childlike glee to see the twins work their magic. Even with your adoration of them, you realize their performances having become more and more recent, and closer and closer to where you had placed your “home,”- which was hardly any such a thing in the eyes of the twins- having been some makeshift tent in between crevices of homes and stores. 
You felt this time was different though. Their performance this time around was exceptionally close to your home, and way too late into the night to be considered reasonable.  
“My, my! It seems we have ourselves a small crowd tonight, Lynette!” Lyney exclaimed. You looked around curiously, seeing no one else. A bit confused by the antics of this situation, you looked up at them shyly, bringing your hands together to fidget with them nervously. He continued on, “I suppose this would be more of a personal performance then. Shall we get to know our lovely audience!” He looked towards his sister proudly, to which she responded with a short agreement and nod. They made their way closer to you, each one holding a fist with something unknown to you inside. You took various steps back but found yourself backed into the corner of an alleyway. “Such a shy audience member we have…. No worry, we can just ease your adjustment to your new home!” Suddenly, with the quickness of a cheetah, they had both opened their fists and blown dust into your face. Your vision instantly became blurry, and your body weak. You fell forwards, your heart pounding in your throat, and felt the hands of two people catching you, gently petting and coddling your body before you lost consciousness.

When you awoke a few days ago, you had been fitted to what had seemed to be a onesie- kitten themed no less. You were quick to realize that you had been abducted by your most admired performers. In a sense, you felt like you had been betrayed and thus your heart having been broken. You wanted to cry. To curl up and sob in a corner of the room they had provided you with, but also  to lash out and scratch their faces in defiance. You were incapable of doing either, however, the two consistency drugging you in your meals since your attempt to do the latter. 
At this point, any sense of control felt like a sort of defiance to them. You refused to talk to them or show them any emotion, holding only a scowl to them whenever they arrived to help clean you or feed you your food by hand. Their only response was mostly to belittle and baby you, saying such things as “Is my poor sibling a little grumpy today? A quick nap will help to turn that frown upside down!” Or something similar. 
You were getting tired of it all by the time a week had passed. You felt as if you were about to snap with all the emotions you had attempted to withhold and bottle up. It was getting harder and harder to isolate yourself from the two as well as these tiring feelings made you in need of the two loving and babying you. It was a cycle, as you only felt as if you were proving their point and therefore attempted to ignore them more. 
One morning came, the drugged meal of last night having been worn off of your body, but not yet your mind. In a routine, the twins came in with your breakfast ready which had been increasingly consistent with softer foods and liquids. This time, they came with a baby bottle of milk. Locking the door behind them, in horror you backed up to a corner as they gained closer to you attempting to coax you closer to them. They cooed at you, awwing and baby talking you. “My wittle baby sibling is so shy today.” Lyney would start, with Lynette only encouraging him. 
 “Theyre still adjusting. Perhaps we’ve scared them with our loud and sudden entrance?” 
“A very reasonable conclusion! Well, no time better than the present to get them used to us.”
Suddenly, the two had sandwiched you between them, still cooing as they attempted to feed you the bottle. In a fit of rage you used your limp feeling hand to knock the bottle far from you and your captors. The two didnt look very pleased. A sigh left the both of them. “Dont make us force you to correct your behavior little one. Just because we are nice now, doesnt mean we dont know how to punish you and put you back in your place.” Lyney, in a hushed tone, threatened you. In complete shock and fear, your body stilled- but out of your will your mouth began running, throwing taunts at them to shame them for your actions. “Y-you kidnapped me! Im- Ive- I dont want to be here, let me go home! You abducted me, you monsters!! I hate you! I hate you!!!” 
“Goodness! Such a big, big word for my little, little sibling. Are you sure youre aware of that words meaning? You shouldnt be using words all of a sudden that you dont know the meaning of, just because you heard it being tossed around without context!” Lyney began speaking almost at you, in something that youd had felt was to be mocking you and your attempt to yell at them. “Tsk, tsk. But no need to be upset, my dear easedropper! Soon enough youll learn the rules of the House of Hearth, and- oh- I just know youll fit right in once youve learned to be nicer to my sister and I. You do realize your actions have made us quite upset and worried!”
Tears began forming in your eyes, snot coming down your nose with your non subtle attempts to sniff it away. 
Soon enough, sobs escaped your voice along with big fat tears rolling down your reddened cheeks. You whined and whimpered as you repeated, “I hate y-you! I-I h-hate you!”
It was almost a switch had flipped in the both of them, returning from their threatening aura, to a caring and loving atmosphere with nothing but smiles as they fetched your bottle and attempt to feed you once more. This time, their grip on you had hardened, less gentle than it was before and more difficult to move, causing only more scared sobs to come from you. 
“Youre only upsetting yourself. Dont fuss.” Lynette uttered softly to you. “Just take the bottle in your mouth and youll feel all better. Less fiesty. Im sure youre just hungry.” She forcefully shoved her index finger into your tightly closed mouth to make way for the the tip of the bottles nipple. You cried out more as she did this, which was only covered up by Lyneys attempt to shush bounce you in his arms. You gurgled up some of the milk in a last ditch effort to refuse the bottle, but that could only last for so long as they kept it in your mouth and cleaned the liquid that had dribbled down your face. 
“Wow Lynette, who would have thought our baby sibling was such a messy eater! Poor baby probably doesn’t understand how to properly drink their bottle.” Lyney cooed, looking down at you as more and more helpless tears escaped. Soon enough, the drugs in the bottle were once again making its way through your system, with your body becoming numb, and whimpers becoming quieter, you eventually had no choice but to keep drinking the milk they had brought you. Your eyes became heavier and hard to keep open as you fell into a deep slumber. The last things you having heard was, “Youre ours now. Nothing you can do can deter us from taking care of our new baby siblings. We will make sure your attitude is corrected when you wake up.”
Oh my
OH MY, IT WAS SO GOOD! YOU'RE AWESOME👏🏻
I love how they both went from caring sibiling to treating you. And then back again to their sweet side. Ooh, they're both so obsessed and full of love for their new little sibling.
Obviously they have to teach you how to behave properly: the rules aren't strict per se, but imagine what could happen if you say you hate everyone - in front of your other new siblings and the Father. Or even worse, if you try to run away! Isn't loyalty the most important rule in the House of Heart?

I think there's a huge gap in language when talking about British legislative and social racism bc some of the most overt and unchallenged legislative racism lately is against GRT people and a lot of countries (especially America) do not use the term GRT.
The G in GRT stands for Gypsy (using this bc it's as-self-described, like it's the term the British GRT community uses often) and bc this is for a lot of people exclusively a slur and bc it has a lot of historical weight, people will often object to use of the expanded acronym slash try to correct it to Roma or Rroma.
But the GRT community as a political class and as a group subject to racism includes, but is not synonymous with, Roma, cause it also includes Irish Travelers (who are another large nomadic minority ethnic group, aka Pavee), Scottish, English and Welsh Travelers (a mix of indigenous nomadic groups), and other nomadic peoples in Britain.
In some, but not all, contexts, GRT also includes non-ethnic nomadic communities: New Age Travelers (people living nomadic lifestyles by choice - full-time caravanners or van lifers), Bargees (people living full time in canal boats) and showmen (traveling funfairs and circuses). Not being a specific ethnicity, New Agers and Showmen have a different relationship to racism and marginalisation than Roma and Travelers (a settled Roma or Traveler family are still Roma or Traveler, it's not just a question of lifestyle and community) but obviously anti-Traveler legislation and bias harms everyone living nomadically.
I think (and I'm not GRT and my thoughts should be taken with a truckload of salt, I just feel like it's worth explaining what the terminology actually means) that a lot of the nuance around GRT identity is kind of lost in transnational discourse (particularly with Americans) because. the G bit of GRT has been used as a blanket term for hundreds of years to refer to multiple groups of nomadic peoples in Europe and so there are ethnocultural groups included under that term who aren't Roma but also are GRT and are racialised as GRT.
People racialised within the GRT community (as Roma or Travelers) experience way higher rates of social and economic exclusion than any other ethnogroups in the UK, including if they're settled (living in brick-and-mortar housing, which around 75% of people recorded as GRT do).
Both Roma and Traveler kids are systemically excluded from education (Gypsy/Roma kids are 6x more likely to be suspended from school and 7x as likely to be expelled than the national average, and Traveler kids aren't much better off (4x more likely than average to be suspended and 5x as likely to be expelled)). GRT people face systemic employment discrimination, being 6x more likely than average to be long term unemployed and 1/4 as likely to be offered high-level or management positions. GRT folk have the worst health outcomes of any ethnic group, and consistently report high levels of medical discrimination and trouble accessing healthcare. As a result, GRT infant mortality and maternal death is way higher than average, and GRT life expectancy is 10+ years shorter than average. GRT communities are disproportionately criminalised, settled GRT families have spoken often about having been treated as inherently suspicious on the basis of their ethnicity.
A lot of people write these issues off as being, like, a product of a nomadic/no-fixed-address lifestyle, but a) it's a problem with the system if our social care systems don't account for the fact that some people are nomadic, itinerant or have no fixed address. there is no reason why nomadic life needs to be more dangerous or excluded than settled. but also b) as stated a majority of GRT people included in these figures do have fixed addresses. it is just racism.
Homelessness is also a huge problem in the community, with many landowners refusing to rent land to Travellers, residential camping berths being oversubscribed by something like 10,000%, and significant difficulty accessing affordable housing. The land which is available to Traveling communities is increasingly ringfenced, often specifically with the intention of discouraging nomadic communities.
given that it is. racism. with an exceptionally long and brutal history of genocide, criminalisation and systemic social exclusion. it is also striking how often open, sometimes genocidal, racism against GRT people is handwaved or accepted as normal. anti-GRT legislation is explicitly passed on the regular. people are incredibly comfortable referring to all GRT people as thieves, scroungers, criminals and frauds. I have had literal circular mailings offering to "remove vermin, pests and Gypsies from your land." and yet calling this racism is often treated as an overstatement. Even though it's explicitly ethnically-driven bias, and has deeply entrenched social impacts affecting everyone racialised as GRT regardless of cultural behaviour or lifestyle.
anyway that's what GRT means, it stands for Gypsy/Roma/Traveller and it's an extremely underserved and marginalised racialised group in the UK and Europe. It includes Romani ethnic groups, but also includes non-Roma ethnic groups (like the Pavee) and Roma subgroups (like Sinti). They're united by a common experience of anti-nomadic racism, criminalisation and social exclusion and, as an aggregate group, are consistently among the most directly disadvantaged racial groups in the UK.
