🍃𓂅 middle regressor jamie taylor headcanons

this became … incredibly long . but i’ve been more n more attached to jamie lately n i can’t stop thinking about a tiny jamie 🌱 ♡

⌗ . . . Jamie regresses around 8 - 14 . It’s usually always involuntary and triggered by emotional distress (sad flashbacks, a hard day, anyone messing around in her gardens) It usually manifests as anger or sadness, and she has a hard time expressing them in a way that doesn’t involve shutting down or lashing out.

꩜ . . . Hannah is the first to recognize the signs. She doesn’t push for answers or an explanation, she simply makes her a cup of tea and sits with her until she’s ready to talk about what’s currently bothering her.

𖧧 . . . Owen notices too, of course. He’s maybe the one person in the world who knows her the most (before Dani arrives). He’s endlessly patient with her, never treating her like she’s fragile and allowing her space. When she storms into the kitchen, frustrated, he gives her tiny kitchen tasks to do — stirring, chopping veggies, kneading dough, anything to keep her hands busy while he keeps an eye on her. He also cracks the worst dad jokes ever:

“Jamie, do you know why the tomato blushed?”

“I swear to God, Owen..”

“Because it saw the salad dressing.”

It always earns him an eyeroll, but the corners of her mouth twitches, and he counts it as a win.

ᝰ . . . Dani finds out by accident after Jamie has an outburst of anger after something in the garden pushes her over the edge. She snaps at Dani over seemingly nothing, storms away, doesn’t let herself cry. But Dani, patient and perceptive, pieces it together. How she clenches her fist like a child mid-tantrum, huffing and pouting but can’t explain why. When she finally finds her again, she’s curled up on the greenhouse’s couch. Dani sits with her, not speaking until Jamie mumbles a quiet apology along with, “…didn’t mean to yell.” Dani only nods, gently holding her hand in her own. “I know. Do you wanna tell me whats going on?”

↟ . . . Whenever Jamie is especially restless or upset, Dani will take her away from the others and into the garden. She’ll get her to ground herself busying her hands in the soil of a plant that needs to be potted, rip out the weeds in the garden to relieve some of her frustration, or sometimes, places a hand-held shovel in her hands. “Here. Let it out.” Dani says, directing her towards an empty patch in the garden. Jamie digs into the soil aggressively, and it helps.

⌗ . . . When Jamie refuses to talk about what’s upsetting her, Dani gently prompts her by asking about the plants. Jamie doesn’t realize that she’s subconsciously expressing herself as she rambles about which ones need more care, which are thriving, and which ones are being stubborn little buggers. Dani always listens, looks between the lines, recognizes Jamie communicating her own feelings with the use of her plants.

꩜ . . . When Jamie’s upset, she fidgets without thinking. She drags a pen across the pants of her overalls in messy, hard doodles or tugs at loose threads until they snap. Dani notices, gently placing pages of paper in her lap, murmuring “Here, try this instead.” Jamie grumbles at first, but eventually gives in, furiously scribbling on the paper or tearing it to shreds.

𖧧 . . . As much as she trusts Dani, she struggles to let herself be upset and small around her. She hates feeling vulnerable, hates the idea of Dani seeing her as weak. So she hides it, bites back her words, clenches her fists, avoids Dani when she feels herself slipping. But Dani always notices. She never pushes, just waits, and offers reassurances.

ᝰ . . . Sometimes, that’s all it takes. Dani pulls her close, tucking Jamie’s head underneath her chin while Jamie clings to her, fists curling into Dani’s sweater as she finally let’s go, shaking, sobbing, letting it pour out. Dani holds her, rubbing her back, whispering to her gently that she’s got her.

↟ . . . Jamie often steals Owen’s sweaters. She would never admit it, but she finds a certain comfort in them (and Owen knows - he starts to purposely leave some around the Manor for her to find). They’re big and soft and the right type of ugly, and they smell like fresh bread and a hint of his cologne. Owen never calls her out on it, just smirks when he sees her drowning in the oversized sleeves and says, “looks better on you anyway, mate.”

⌗ . . . Owen is Jamie’s favourite person to annoy when regressed. She sits on the counter, snatching ingredients before he can stop her. “Jamie, that cheese is for the sauce.” “Dunno what you’re talkin’ about, mate.” (as she very obviously shoves more pieces into her mouth) Sometimes if she’s had a particularly bad day, he’ll hand her a rolling pin and some dough, saying “Take your anger out on this.”

(“What about the gluten molecules?” “Oh, they’ll survive.”)

꩜ . . . While she doesn’t really play, she can never say no if Flora invites her to a tea party or Miles wants to play tag, and she finds that she absolutely adores it (not that she would admit that ,, )

𖧧 . . . She’s also fiercely protective over the kids, her protective instincts skyrocketing when she’s regressed. If they do so much as trip, Jamie is by their side in seconds, fussing over them and eyes welling up in worry. If someone speaks to them too harshly, she’s immediately defensive. Dani has to gently remind her that they’ll alright, gently trying to ground her, but she doesn’t settle until she sees it for herself.

🐇 𓂅 🌱 regressor dani clayton x caregiver jamie taylor ( + owen ! ) [1/?]

can you tell they’re all i think about … (cw : light swearing)

𝜗𝜚 . . . Dani doesn't regress often, but when she does, it's usually when she's overwhelmed. When memories of her past, the weight of everything, becomes too much to carry. She doesn't always realize she's regressing until Jamie tilts her head and says, ''Feelin' small, are we?'' in that soft, knowing voice.

♡ . . . Dani loves to follow Jamie around while she's working in the greenhouse, constantly chatting about everything and nothing. Jamie let's her ''help'', even though Dani mostly just moves around dirt and talks to the flowers.

𝜗𝜚 . . . Being Jamie’s garden helper can sometimes come with repercussions. Sometimes she’ll get a splinter from the little hand-held shovel or a thorn stuck in her finger from digging around in the dirt, causing Jamie to hold her finger gently and dramatically sigh. “Ah shit, looks like we gotta cut it off then, Poppins.” (Dani huffs and pouts until she gets tweezers - “Alright, I’ll help ya this time. But next time, whole hand’s gotta go.”)

♡ . . . Dani says any little thing that pops into her mind when she’s regressed. “Do you think the plants feel ticklish when the wind blows?” And Jamie always matches her tenfold. “Reckon they do, yeah. Bet the moonflowers are the most ticklish.” She responds without hesitation, tickling Dani under her chin. Dani giggles about it for the rest of the day.

𝜗𝜚 . . . Sometimes Dani will refuse to admit she’s feeling small, even if Jamie knows she’s clearly regressed. Dani is maybe half an inch taller than Jamie, and it’s her most used defence. “If I’m so small, then why am I bigger than you?”

♡ . . . If Jamie’s got her hands full for the day in the gardens, she’ll drop Dani off in the kitchen with a quick “She’s your problem now, mate.” She clings to Jamie’s sweater sleeve, a bit nervous to spend time with Owen while she’s feeling so small. But Owen just grins and gestures to the counter. “C’mon, chef, time to earn your keep.” And Dani perks up immediately.

𝜗𝜚 . . . Owen gets a little mischievous when he’s left alone with a tiny Dani. “Dani, I have a very important job for you.” He whispers, voice devious. “Go bring Jamie some tea.” When she arrives in the greenhouse and Jamie takes one look at Dani’s eager little face, then down at the tea, she knows what Owen did. But Dani is so proud of herself, holding the tea out to Jamie expectantly, so Jamie sighs and mutters, “gonna kill him.” before bravely taking a sip.

♡ . . . When Jamie weeds the gardens, she often sets aside the prettiest dandelions with the longest stems for Dani and the kids to make flower crowns out of later. She wonders when she got so damn soft.

⏾ . . . After Viola’s possession, there’s a shift in her regression. She’s smaller often now, regressing around 1-3, especially in the evenings. She’s clumsier and clingier, more fragile than she is during the day. She mainly opts to just cuddle and cling to Jamie.

𖧧 . . . When Dani starts to see Viola in reflections, baths become the hardest to navigate. She wants to be clean, to be normal, but every time she looks at the water, she sees Viola staring right back at her. Jamie tries to not let it become a big deal — she kneels beside the tub, rubs Dani’s back. “It’s alright, love. Close your eyes.” From then on, Jamie takes over baths and showers, washes Dani’s hair for her, fingers and voice soft and gentle.

⏾ . . . Jamie starts to keep an “emergency baby bag” around the house, full of fun bandaids for a regularly clumsy Dani, some things to fidget with, and their newest additions — Dani’s pacifiers.

𖧧 . . . Now in their own little home, whatever Dani decides to craft always ends up on display. Messy crayon drawings get put up on the fridge, little popsicle stick bugs get placed into the soil of their house plants, and the living room table always has some sort of work-in-progress

⏾ . . . Dani has nightmares more often than not. At first, it starts with flickers of Viola in her mind, just enough to make her shift uneasily in her sleep. But then they get worse, shifting into dreams about herself at the bottom of the lake, and forcefully pulling Jamie down with her. She starts apologizing before she’s even full awake — desperate and small “Didn’t mean to, Jamie. M’sorry, Jamie, didn’-” but Jamie is already there, arms wrapping around her, trying to shush her back to sleep. Sometimes, a quiet “mommy” will slip past Dani’s lips, and Jamie just holds her tighter.

part 1/? i have too many tiny rambles about her

🩰 . . . mainly an involuntary regressor ! she regresses around 1-8. she’s the tiniest in the early mornings n evenings when she feels the sleepiest <3

🫧 . . . jamie as her extremely unserious cg 😭 constantly joking with dani n calling her “poppins” to make her laugh (but she’s always there for a panicking dani — cooing n shushing her, holding her until she calms down)

🎀 . . . dani loves to make things for jamie, which unfortunately for jamie, includes tea . she lets the tea steep for far too long n adds too much sugar, but jamie pretends to enjoy it to not upset her little one (though, big dani knows it’s horrible n always apologizes after)

🪽. . . constantly trying to copy jamie’s accent !! she loves the way she sounds when she says certain words n will sometimes force her to repeat them over and over again , trying to recreate every sound

🩰 . . . wants to help jamie in the greenhouse and gardens but she’s horrible at keeping plants alive, so jamie sets up a tiny “planting station” for her in the greenhouse ♡ starting off small with pumpkin seeds n beans just to see them grow, then slowly moving to flowers when jamie feels that she’s got a hang of it

🫧 . . . cooking with owen !! he makes the silliest dad jokes n asks her opinion on every little thing he makes . he also cannot say no to her so they end up with a few too many pastries than they need

🎀 . . . collects itty bitty little trinkets n anything outside that catches her eye ♡ her n the kids make little trinket boxes n put anything and everything in them!

🪽. . . so so so clingy . whenever she has free time she’s glued to jamie’s hip, talking owen’s ear off in the kitchen, or following hannah around the manor while she cleans

🩰 . . . struggles to use her regression gear unless jamie reassures her about it, and even then she will only use it at night, tucked into jamie’s side so she can’t see her

🫧 . . . purples, pinks, n yellows being a big part of tiny dani’s wardrobe :0
