#sending so much love to my older headspace regressors!!

[veggieowlet]

being a cg to a teen regressor makes me think about the endless opportunities of taking care of an older kiddo.

instead of monitoring and scheduling "playdates," i'm slipping a bit of cash to my baby when they hang out with friends, sending them off with a curfew and an embarrassing amount of kisses before they're out the door. or, letting them control the radio on road trips, rocking out all the while to the tunes.

it's also being a gentle yet firm guardian, from monitoring social media consumption to limiting energy drinks for their mental/physical well-being. but most importantly it's letting them feel heard when (despite being in an older headspace) words and feelings can still be hard to understand and communicate. its okay to feel frustrated or angry or upset at the world, you will always have the space to feel heard here because mama will always be right there for her baby with open arms.

Hi I have one-shot request, regressor regulus (1-4 age range) and CG James, in which regulus regresses because of trauma and stress and James gives him CG cuddles

Ofc!!!! Baby reggie is such a cute concept istg! Ty for the request <333

Baby Black

"Reggie!" James shouts in his usual cheerful manner, slinging an arm around the younger Black brother as he spots him in the hallway, "How's my favourite Slytherin doing?" He asks. James and Regulus had gotten very close over the last year, Regulus had eventually followed his brother out of Grimmauld Place and straight into the welcoming arms of the Potters. Of course that included James, who was like the sun to Regulus, always filling him up with light. James had naturally taken on the role of Regulus's caregiver, he was naturally inclined to take care of the people around him. The first time Regulus has regressed and stumbled crying through the house to find James and Sirius, James had found him and held him and kept him safe. So the next time it happened Regulus went to him again... and the next time, and the next time and every time after that. Their relationship quickly progressed from platonic to romantic (outside of Regulus's headspace of course) and after a brief period of horror from Sirius ("James you brotherfucker!!") The pair were accepted by pretty much everyone with ease.

"I'm fine," Regulus says, it had been a long day and he really wasn't feeling up to going back to his dorm, the older kids hated him ever since he'd left his parents house. James frowns at his tone.

"Are you really or are you just saying that for my benefit?" He asks, raising his eyebrows. Regulus sighs, looking up at James with tired eyes. He pouts.

"Can I come to the Gryffindor common room for a bit?" He asks. James face breaks into a smile.

"Of course you can Reg," he says, "do you need to...?" He doesnt need to finish for Regulus to get it.

"Maybe, but later, the older kids were being dicks again," he says. James frowns again, it was well known at this point that the older slytherins had taken to harassing Regulus in the halls when he was alone, so much so that the Gryffindor's take turns walking him places when they can.

"Okay," James says, his arm slipping down to link with Regulus's, leading him back to where the other Marauders were waiting, "We've got a visitor," he announces to the other three. Sirius grins.

"Brilliant! I've missed you too much Reggie, it's been painful," Regulus laughs and rolls his eyes.

"I saw you at lunch," he says.

"Far too long," Sirius says with his usual dramatic flair that sends the other boy's laughing too.

"Come on you lot," Remus cuts in, "Let's be getting back, the girls will wonder where we are,"

"I think they've lost hope in us Moony, they'll think we're doing something we aren't supposed to, as always," Peter says.

"Well they'll wonder where I am," Remus says with that signature smirk that has Sirius swooning while James hits Remus's shoulder.

"Rude! They love us," he says incredulously. Remus rolls his eyes.

"Siruis, can you stop with the goo goo eyes, I'm going to be sick," Regulus says, looking at Sirius's lovesick expression with disgust. Sirius turns to him, sticking out his tongue.

"Payback for every time I have to see you thirst over my best mate," he says. Regulus flushes red and James takes the opportunity to put his arm around his shoulders again, grinning teasingly.

"Reg, you've gone all red, do you have a temperature?" James says, innocently, knowing full well that he's being a dick. He glances around for a moment, deeming the coast clear he leans in and gives Regulus a peck.

"Oh for fucks sake," Sirius groans, leaning into Remus as if he's just been fatally wounded, "could you wait until I'm not around to suck faces with my baby brother?" He groans from Remus's chest.

"Oh fuck off Pads, that was as PG as kisses get," James says.

"You're just using it as an excuse to cuddle up to Remus," Regulus says. Both the boys flush red and Sirius pushes away from Remus, turning to flip Regulus off.

They continue their playful teasing as they walk up to the common room, James's hand not leaving Regulus's until they reach the portrait hole, where he helps him step in.

Regulus was determined to hold of his regression for as long as possible, he liked hanging out with the older Gryffindor's when he was big and wanted to stay for as long as possible. But being looked after, even in a small capacity, was really making things difficult.

"Reggie?" James questions, "are you okay?" Regulus nods absentmindedly, humming a confirmation, "Alright, let me know if you need anything," he says, kissing the boys cheek as he drags him to sit on an armchair in the common room.

Regulus floats in a bit of an in-between space as they hang out together, leaning against James contentedly as the Gryffindor's around him chat to each other. James seems to catch on to Regulus's drifting headspace and after a while he nudges him.

"Hey Reg, do you want to go on a walk?" He asks. Regulus's eyes light up at the thought of spending time with his caregiver and he nods happily. James turns to the group, "I'm gonna take Reggie on a walk, we'll be back later," He says. Sirius bounds over, giving Regulus a kiss on the head and a hug.

"Stay with Jamie, yeah?" He says, smoothing down his brothers hair. Regulus nods.

"Mhm, stay with Jaime," he parrots.

They say a quick bye to the rest of the group before heading back out the portrait hole.

Walks like these had become somewhat of a thing between the two boys, no matter what headspace Regulus was in. They make their way down to the great lake, walking around the path surrounding with their hands interlinked, chatting a little.

"Are you slipping?" James asks. Regulus thinks for a minute.

"No, I nearly was but I think it's cleared a bit," he explains. James nods.

Suddenly there's a rustling from behind them and both boys whip around to see people stood behind them.

There was three Slytherins stood looking personally offended just at the sight of the two boys. Malfoy and Snape were at the front, wands already out, while Narcissa hung back a bit, glancing between the two boys.

"Can we help you?" James asks, stepping in front of Regulus slightly.

"Just going for a walk," Malfoy answers, "that's allowed isn't it?" James raises an eyebrow, "Oh don't flatter yourself, what would we want with a couple blood traitors?" Regulus could think of plenty of things.

"Right, well we're heading back now," James says, grabbing Regulus's wrist and trying to pull him past the two boys. Malfoy stops him with a hand on the shoulder.

"Don't let us ruin your night," he says. Snape takes a step towards Regulus and James blocks him with his body.

"Jumpy, Potter," He drawls, peering around James to sneer at the younger boy. Regulus had frozen in place, resisting the urge to clutch James's arm, suddenly the idea of showing any form of weakness felt sickening. The voice of his mother rings in his head.

"You are weak! Disgusting! Get up!"

James steps closer to Snape, sheilding Regulus from his view again.

"Leave us alone," he says, reaching back to give Regulus's arm a reassuring squeeze. Malfoys eyes zero in on the small interaction and he scoffs.

"Can baby Black not look after himself?" He spits. James eyes flash angrily, attempting to shoulder past the two.

"Okay, we're going now," he says. Snape goes to grab Regulus, who whimpers and flinched away, but Narcissa clears her throat.

"Let them go" she says, voice clear and strong. Malfoy looks at her, confused, but something in her expression must make hom fold because he turns to Snape and nods.

"Love has made you weak," Snape hisses, begrudgingly letting go of Regulus and stepping aside.

James wastes no time, grabbing Regulus's arm and speed walking away from them, nodding to Narcissa as they pass, a brief moment of understanding passing between them before the two boys disappear back into the castle.

James stops in the entrance, turning to look at Regulus.

The boy looks wrecked, tears streaming down his face, eyes wide in shock and fear. James immediately knows that Regulus was reliving some none too pleasant memories.

"Are you okay baby?" He asks. Regulus whimpers, headspace immediately plummeting after teetering on edge, "How's about we go up to bed?" James asks. Regulus nods, reaching his arms forward and making a grabbing motion.

"Up," he whines.

Snape and Malfoy were bad enough but the sight of Narcissa had thrown Regulus right back to that house, to his mother, to the unspeakable things that happened to him and his brother. Regulus needed comfort right now. James smiles and scoops his baby up and Regulus immediately tucks himself into his caregivers neck, immediately soothed by the physical contact.

"I've got you baby," James murmurs, walking up to the common room.

They climb through the portrait hole and James gives a quick gesture to the boy clinging to him and that's all the explanation their friends need, letting them go up to bed without another word.

"Baby boy," he gently puts the boy down on the bed, feeling a tug on his heart as Regulus makes a noise of protest, "I know, I know, I'll be right back, I'm just getting you some clothes," he murmurs, Regulus pouts but nods. James quickly rushes to his drawers, pulling out a soft jumper and some shorts before going back to his baby.

"Daddy," Regulus mutters, grabbing hold of James shirt and tugging.

"I know baby, let's just get you changed and then Daddy will come cuddle," he says, making quick work of helping him change before pulling off his own shirt and climbing into bed, arranging them so that Reggie is layed comfortably on James's chest.

"M'sorry" Regulus murmurs. James was used to this, Regulus tended to feel like a burden whenever he regressed, it was rare that he slipped without apologising at least once.

James moves his hand to run through Reggie's hair, looking down at him.

"None of that baby, you have nothing to be sorry for. This helps me too, remember?" He says. Reggie screws up his nose adorably if James does say so himself as he thinks, before huffing and nodding a little.

James smiles and pulls Regulus a little closer, running his hand up and down his back to comfort him as he plays with the younger boys hair. Regulus buries his face in James's chest and makes a content little noise in the back of his throat. James thinks that if he were a cat he'd be purring.

He wants to talk to Reg about what happened earlier but he's found that Regulus isn't great at talking when he's little, that's something for him and big Reggie to talk about, so instead he watches as Regulus's eyes slip closed, his breathing slowly evening out into slow steady breaths.

Only once he's sure that Regulus is sleeping does he let his own eyes close.

Ok ive had More Thoughts:

*note - if i say ‘vode’ im referring to the clones, again I’m very influenced by The Soft Wars 😂).

Big Brother CG!Rex (to Anakin, fives n echo; but Papa!CG to tup and other younger 501st members. His caregiving style is a mix of all his ori’vode (older brothers) (in my AU/HCs particularly cody, ponds, bly, wolffe, 17). Soft spot for baby regressors (*cough* Tup *cough*), but pretty good with all ages! He is especially good at looking after teen!Anakin who can be a bit moody. Tup once accidentally called him Dad whilst not regressed, Rex nearly died (/pos). Probably enjoys play wrestling with older littles or turning training sims into games for them. Fives and Echo are singlehandedly sending him grey quicker than the clones’ quick aging genes. 17 flat out laughs at him and calls it karma when he voices this particular thought. Rex is def the Dad of the 501st.)

Toddler Regressor!Tup (1-5) (usually Teeny tiny. Will not be convinced otherwise. Similar to ahsoka, he has all the 501st wrapped around his finger however he’s comically oblivious to this. Probably pretty shy when he regresses, unless dogma is Little in which case he has the Older Brother Override and will ask for things for Dogma).

Toddler Regressor!Dogma (unsure on age range, probably only feels comfiest regressing when tup is nearby, a bit wary of his ori’vode when little. In this Au The first person outside of Tup he really opens up to is Echo, and echo melts because this vod’ika reminds him so much of himself. Eventually Dogma becomes ok with being around CG’s when regressed, but he’s still pretty jumpy. The CGs understand no loud voices or sudden moves around him. When hes a little older he enjoys playing simple strategy games with Echo, or being read to. Fives’ energy is a little overwhelming for him at times and he can often be seen subtly hiding just behind Echo or Tup.)

Regressor!Ahsoka (2-6) (Either the Cutest tiny baby you ever saw, or a little menace. Either way she has Anakin & the entire 501st wrapped around her little finger. Togruta are a pack species so I could see her preferring to spend time and sleep in the barracks when regressing on the ship, or out in the common areas when in the temple on Coruscant. I also (thanks to fanart and fics) HC she can and will nap anywhere - ani, obi, or vode stay still for too long? Shes climbing into their lap for a lil sleep. Probably does this while Big too tbh. Sees Rex as dada or a big brother depending on her age and the day. Loves playdates with little!barriss! Has a tendency to slip veeery easily around Plo (even just over a holocall) - that man gives such comforting fatherly vibes.)

Flip!Anakin (biggest range - 5-9; sometimes early teens; def a Big Brother!CG to Ahsoka. He once babysat fives and echo, Rex and Kix forbade him from doing it again. They’re still finding glitter in the vents. Loves being a big brother while little, especially to soka! Def hides in the vents for fun, often giving Obi-Wan or Cody heart-attacks. Rex on the other hand is completely prepared for this after the first time it happens, and thus no longer freaks out. Oh!! Probably likes taking naps down in the engine room - this guy’s from a desert planet, i imagine he gravitates to warmth. When he’s CG’ing he’ll let Ahsoka sit on his lap and curl up while he tinkers with a droid or something, or plays the Best games of hide n seek with her. I could see him pulling her into his lap while he meditates too, she’s like a cuddly weighted blanket. Though sometimes playing with Little!Soka does result in him regressing to his teen headspace. As a CG he also loves when Ahsoka regresses and he can just carry her around - you cant convince me this guy isnt a huge hugger with those he loves. I imagine it took him a bit to fully warm uo to the idea of regressing in front of people who weren’t obi-wan, but Rex was endlessly patient and welcoming. I could also see Plo babysitting ani one day when hes already looking after Ahsoka. Anakin’s nervous/antsy at first but once he realises Plo really really doesn’t mind he calms down a little. He mentally decides Ahsoka was right and Plo is the Best Hug Giver, not that he’d ever tell anyone.)

CG!Obi-Wan (main CG for ani, moreso a babysitter for Ahsoka. Fondly commiserates with Rex over trouble-prone littles. Secretly (or not so secretly) loves getting to look after his padawan and grand-padawan when they’re little. Probably also VERY indulgent to any Little!212ths on The Negotiator - wdym these precious babies didnt get to have TOYS growing up, here, have 20, all bought from his personal jedi allowance. No Cody (& 17) he is Not going soft thank you very much. Loves telling stories to anyone who wants to listen - both Big or Little. Absolutely melted the first time anakin called him papa.)

CG!Cody (ngl I can see him ending up babysitting anakin for short periods of time and the idea is wildly amusing to me. Toddler/Kiddo ani running rampant in the temple or Negotiator, a very Weary or Amused cody leisurely following behind. He has a backpack leash for this exact scenario. However! I see him as a main CG to Wooley and probably looks out for any other littles on board. I could see the vode probably taking the ‘it takes a village’ mentality to caregiving! Def babysits for waxer n boil. He gives me ‘looks scary but is actually a cinnamon-roll’ vibes. …probably ahsoka’s fav vode-uncle. Anakin’s a lil wary of him at first but eventually warms up to him. Similarly, I imagine wooley was quite nervous the first time he regressed around cody (whether on purpose or accidental) but Cody calmed him down pretty quickly!))

Little!Fives (4-8) (Chaos incarnate /pos. Loves playing with Anakin no matter anakin’s headspace, though as earlier mentioned there must be someone else supervising (preferably Rex or Kix). Similarly tends to seek out Echo when he regresses (whether echo is big or small). Loves runnin around with his brothers! Once slipped up and called Rex ‘Dad’ whilst Big, has Not lived it down (No, cody, rex did not nearly cry). Probably also loves playing with Jesse, in a similar way to how he does with Anakin. Rex has discovered the best way to get Fives to settle down is to ask him to play with Tup - he loves his baby bro and having a set thing to do :3. Absolute cuddle monster if given half the chance. Once called 17 ‘Grandpa’ whilst little, rex and cody about died from laughter.

Flip!Echo (3-8) (I HC him as either being incredibly quiet when little or an absolute chatterbox, theres no in-between. Loves reading!! Rex sourced some safe books for him to read while Little from Obi-Wan and Shaak-Ti. Takes his Older Brother role very seriously when little, especially to Dogma. Can proooobably be found curled up on a bed reading to Dogma, Tup, Ahsoka, n Fives (and anyone else nearby, big or little). Probably likes hanging out with Kix in his office in medbay - mostly because he enjoys learning new things. Loves when the 212th joins them on missions because Obi-Wan has the best stories (once Echo and all the others got over their initial nervousness of regressing around him). As a CG i imagine him being pretty calm, probably why Dogma and babyspace!Ahsoka gravitate to him.)

CG!Kix (The Mum of the 501st. Always has fun bandaids on hand for any injuries the 501st littles get into, no matter how small. Probably Jesse’s primary caregiver but also babysits any other littles on board. Professional baby/kiddo comforter - the title comes with being the 501st’s chief medical officer. Keeps spare pacifiers n small toys in his office in case any vode regress while in medbay. Speaking of, superr good with kiddos in medbay - “Hey buddy, wanna see something super cool?” Probably designates a specific section of medical to littles - cuddly blankets, fun stickers on the ceiling, and so on. Obi-Wan sees the idea and suggests rolling it out across all battalions to the council. I HC kix as being one of the stricter/firmer CGs on board, but he’s still super gentle with it.)

CG!Shaak-Ti - thats mama!! Mama to all the lil baby clones on Kamino. Gentle parenting extraordinaire. Gives Rex some information on looking after baby Togrutas. Definitely always has a private comm for any commanders to reach out if they need anything for regressors/vode in general.

ok there we go, done (for now) 😂

..thinkin bout Big Brother CG!Rex (TCW) -

probably mostly for Ahsoka and any of his lil brothers that need it (im a sucker for Tup n Rex content), maybe even if anakin’s feelin little?

🤨 also CG!Cody to Fanon!Wooley (fandom saw really wooley n tup and went Babie)

just- Little!Ahsoka (or Babysitter!Ahsoka), Flip!Anakin, CG!Rex, CG!Cody, Little!Tup, Little!Wooley, Little!Dogma, CG!Obi-Wan, CG!Plo-Koon, Little!Fives, Flip!Echo, ‘Reluctant’CG!Seventeen, CG!Boil, Flip!Waxer, CG!Kix, Flip!Jesse, CG!Shaak-ti (her n 17 with all the lil baby clones on Kamino), CG!Ponds,,,, Little!Barriss!! I could go on and on and on-

(a lot of my fav characterisation comes from The Soft Wars on AO3 by Project0506 - so much fluff)

₍ᐢ｡ ˬ ｡ᐢ₎ ✧*̥˚ Hiiiee! *̥˚✧ ₍ᐢ｡ ˬ ｡ᐢ₎

Hiya! You can call me Megs. Welcome to my sfw bloggg!

✧*̥˚ i am currently: *̥˚✧

regressed

not regressed

You are welcome to send in asks or DM me, or request certain outfit themes! (or other things you might like to see me post). However, if i’m not familiar with a character or fandom at all there’s a chance I might not be able to complete that request :( i’m sorry.

I’m an age regressor, and I decided to start this blog as an outlet for my regression. I mostly post outfit boards and such right now, but I mostly use tumblr to feel less alone in my regression. Anyways, here’s some stuff about me :) (my DNI is at the bottom)

♡˗ˏ✎*ೃ˚ About Me ੈ♡˳

My pronouns are she/her, and I am bisexual!

I regress due to extremely debilitating anxiety as well as the fact that I had to grow up too fast. Like most age regressors, it is my coping mechanism and my safe space.

My regressed headspace ranges from 1-5, but usually ends up around the 1-3 range :P

My big age is 18 though

My favorite little shows are Bluey, My Little Pony, Octonauts, Max and Ruby, and Blues Clues! I also love Sailor Moon, but that’s usually a thing when i’m at a slightly older age range.

When I’m feeling extra small I love watching Hey Bear sensory videos

I love anything and everything sanrio

I love my stuffies sooo much, but I have too many to list them all! my comfort stuffie is a gray elephant named Winston, though

My favorite little foods are DINO NUGGETS!!!! baby goldfish, animal crackers, apples with peanut butter, broccoli with cheese, and any cut up sandwich with no crust. oh and fruit snacks :)

I technically have a cg, but he isn’t very present and the situation stresses me out so I usually come here for comfort

Okay, now that that’s out of the way…

'*•.¸♡ Please DNI if ♡¸.•*'

NSFW (my regression is *not* your k!nk)

Th1nsp0, pro-ana, or any other content relating to EDs (that includes recovery blogs with triggering content. i support anyone in actual recovery but i don’t feel comfortable being around triggering content because i can’t risk a relapse).

Anti-LGBTQ+

Anti-agere (obvi)

Bodyshaming

or just generally spreading hate :)

Thanks for reading!!! ₍ᐢ｡ ˬ ｡ᐢ₎
