As an older sibling who is a regressor, I wish I wasn’t the oldest. I wish I had an older brother.

I want someone to baby me, to look out for me, instead of the other way around. I want someone who wants to protect me and is capable of doing so. I want someone who is supportive of my femininity but also indulges me in more masculine activities. Someone older to confide in when parents just don’t understand. I want to be the one who has to “tag along.” I don’t want to be responsible, I want someone to be responsible for me. I want an older brother.

“Oh, take your little sister with you.” And he does and he includes me and makes me feel special.

“This is my little sister. I hope you don’t mind that she hangs around.” Is what he would say as he introduces me to his friends who I think are so cool.

He would say things like, “Hold brother’s hand,” or ask me what was wrong. I could confide in him because big brother always knows how to make me smile when my eyes are teary or comfort me when I’m scared. He would be silly and make me laugh.

I know that’s such a fictional idea of an older brother and probably not realistic, but I crave that specific type of affection and attention. Most of the time when I envision having a caregiver, the image is usually platonic, and the older brother figure is the one I always return to. I want to be little and small and I want my kind older brother to be my whole world… Does that make sense?

Beginning from a current WIP:

“Mommy will be back before you know it!” Mitsuri said, peppering Obanai’s face with kisses. “If you need anything you let Uncle Tengen know, okay?”

Obanai nodded slowly, but he was still giving her puppy eyes from behind his long bangs. His pacifier, which he had stuck between the bandages over his mouth, bobbed as he sucked on it and his hands kept reaching for Mitsuri’s braids—apparently, all the Littles were fascinated with Mitsuri’s hair when they were regressed. She gently redirected his hands away from her hair and booped him on the nose.

“You’ll be a good boy for Uncle Tengen until Mommy comes back, right?” Mitsuri said.

Obanai nodded again.

“Okay, sweetheart,” Mitsuri smiled. She kissed him on the forehead and then stood up, turning to Tengen. “Thank you so much for watching him,” she said. “You have my instructions, right?”

Mitsuri had given him four pages of “instructions” on how to care for Obanai when he was regressed. “Yes, Mitsuri, I have your instructions,” Tengen waved a hand dismissively. He had no intention of reading any of it. He had two littles already; he knew how to care for them.

“Okay,” Mitsuri said. She wrung her hands together nervously. “And…if there’s any problems, you can send me a crow-”

“You’ll be gone for two days,” Tengen interrupted with a smile. Mitsuri could be such a mother hen. “We’ll be okay.”

She nodded, exhaling slowly, and waved to Obanai. “Okay. Bye-bye, baby. Mommy will see you soon, okay?”

Obanai waved back, which was the most responsive he’d been since the two of them arrived.

Mitsuri left, and Obanai watched through the window as she walked down the path away from the Sound Estate.

The second she was out of sight, he burst into tears.

Gosh I need to replay botw so badly but my brother isn’t home and he’d be sad if I started it without him

Anyone else put so much pressure on themselves to not draw anything similar to another drawing they made

Like I can’t even draw just a basic bust shot of any character I like to draw without my brain saying like “Ohoho!! It seems you have already drawn that character in that exact pose!! We wouldn’t want to unoriginal now would we? Ohoho!!”

And i’ll have to oblige because god forbid I draw something similar to something else I’ve drawn. GOD FORBID.

the baby just fell asleep for his first unswaddled nap!!!! took him about 15 min to settle down (and who knows how long he’ll sleep before he wakes himself up) but this is progress!! I’m hoping to slowly fully transition him to unswaddled daytime naps over the next week or two and then we’ll see if we can manage dropping the swaddle at night.

Does anyone have tips for someone who has difficulty starting tasks around the house? I feel like I’m a really responsible person outside of the home, but I struggle with basic things like cleaning up or getting ready for the day. I specifically have a difficult time in the morning because I have a hard time waking up and my motivation levels are very low. I tend to put things off because I get overwhelmed by starting the thing and it’s a habit I really want to break. I’m making myself a list of things to do daily every morning so I have a visual reminder, but is there anything else I can do to make this part of adulting easier? Being a grown up is something I have a hard time adjusting to, especially as someone who grew up as “the responsible child.” Now I have a hard time doing anything at all and it’s taking a toll on me. How can I take better care of myself and the things around me in a way that’s responsible (for an adult) but fun and enjoyable (for the kid within me)? I’ll take any suggestions I can get, this is really important to me-

"Chawlie... I missed nap time..."- Zeek

Oh dear-!

Ummmm umumumumummmmm….how about tonight we try an early bedtime? To make up for lost sleep? :3 And until it’s bedtime we can do quiet activities! That way no one gets overstimulated (because I know from experience how cranky one can get when they’re tired and everything is to loud!)

hot take: YouTube’s algorithm promoting video length over quality coupled with “video essayists” not actually understanding the genre of essays outside of the five paragraph format they learned in high school has completely ruined an entire generation of youtubers who think it’s smart and vital to spend 40 minutes giving exposition that does nothing to support whatever thesis they may or may not be arguing

I can see Eddie refusing sleep at all costs- like if he were to get anywhere behind schedule he would try to stay up late, what would howdy and/or frank do if they saw this?

Eddie would definitely overwork ‘imself. He’s the loyal mailman of the neighborhood, every neighbor is counting on ‘im to deliver their mail!! (They all insist he takes breaks an’ days off but he doesn’t really listen)

When Howdy or Frank start noticing Eddie is overworkin himself (More clumsy an’ forgetful/spacey, even a lil cranky since he’s putting all his energy into his job), they team-up together to care for Eddie! Gotta get him in somethin’ cute, give ‘im a teether or sensory toy (he always has to keep those lil paws movin’!), before cuddlin’ all up in a nest of pillows and blankets!! Sometimes, if Eddie isn’t super fidgety, he gets to be wrapped up in a big ol’ blanket burrito! Snug as a bug!!

More Eddie CG/Little headcanons below (TW/CW: mentions of oldest child syndrome situation) V

Goin’ off the headcanon of Eddie needin’ to take care of younger siblings, I would imagine him haven’t quite a tough time actually going into little space. When ya got others to look over, sometimes it’s hard to take time for yourself and just be a kid! Bein’ a caregiver allows him to actually have an option to care for others, not forced (totally not projecting ‘ere… e3e). But sometimes he falls into the old habit of putting others before himself.

So Howdy an’ Frank usually have to ease him into lil space. They start off with Eddie’s own tatic! Usin’ certain nicknames and praise, but with more mentions of ‘im bein cute!! Bein called and feelin cute helps Eddie to comfortably regress! Usually Howdy and Frank gets him to take naps and sleep, but if he wakes up still regressed (doesn’t always happens), they get playtime, usually consisting of lil origami toys, like the jumping frogs!
