I beg you please make cg! Stone with little shadow I just think it's so cute

regressor movie shadow and cg agent stone outfit + a few hcs!

as I made this I came up with a few little hcs!! I’ve never really posted hcs before se we’ll see how this goes,,, and this is esp. for movie shadow since he’s a little different than mainline shadow <3

regressor shadow and cg stone headcannons below cut

(plot-based hcs) - shadow started slipping a few hours after he escaped from prison island. at that point he was alone and didn’t have anyone, so he just hid and waited it out. he didn’t know what was happening, all he knew was that he was very scared and felt very small, and generally it was very impure first experience with it. - after he meets with the professor, he immediately feels smaller, but not as much as he did before. mostly to when he was little and naive, to a time before the attack. he masked the majority of his regression around gerald, scared of making a bad impression and looking weak. - when robotnik and gerald reunite, shadow feels very much like the professor’s pushed him aside for some human he’s never even met. he was left alone with stone - initially, when shadow started regressing he didn’t even understand why he did it around agent stone. but after stone picked up on him acting very little and quiet, he decided to help him out and became his cg. (random hcs) - shadow is very clingy out of trauma, and needs to keep his cg in his sights or else he will spiral and cry. - stone knits/crochets and you cannot change my mind. he makes little things for shadow in his spare time. shadow has a little crochet doll of maria that stone made for him after a ptsd episode. it makes him feel better, and stone loves seeing the little hedgehog’s eye’s light up whenever he gets a gift (something that rarely ever happened to him in the past). - shadow is almost entirely nonverbal, especially the younger he goes. while shadow doesn’t have a pinpointed age for his regression, stone is able to tell roughly how little he feels based off how much noise the little guy emits. the more silent, the more babey. - stone lets shadow help with cooking. while shadow might take a little long to do things (it needs to be perfect) and is rather clumsy when regressed, stone doesn’t mind and is just happy someone can appreciate the effort and time it takes to make a good meal. - stone lets shadow wear some of his old clothes, even if his quills poke a few holes and he needs to put holes in the back of the shirts for his back spines. little shadow likes being covered up and cozy, as it makes him feel safe and hidden away. - in addition, stone builds him blanket forts when they get a chance. it always makes shadow feel safe and loved, reminding him of when he was with maria. they watch kids shows and movies, and usually stone can trust the hedgehog keep himself entertained as long as stone stays within 15 feet of the fort. - on days when stone doesn’t have the time or ability to make a fort, he just throws 5-7 blankets on top of shadow and the baby is happy (he likes the weight, it’s cozy and he feels like he’s burrowing). - in his normal headspace, shadow refuses to speak of his regression. not even the cia could get him to confess. he doesn’t even tell stone when he’s slipping, and usually suppresses it until stone figures out what’s wrong and coaxes him into regression for his own good.

Just a bunch of silly Regressor Shadow icons

Kind of a continuation of the other post???

I don’t even know what possessed me to make all these, but I made so many I can’t even add my DNI banner at the bottom of this post. Shadow is my little pookie bear and I’m OBSESSED with him.

Feel free to use any of these icons with credit!

I have two more, but they’re from the comics and idk if anybody wants those

[luv-n-chaos]

Conversation I had with my sibling @mmartisttalent earlier

[um-lorii]

sometimes he just spents 90% of his regression time crying . and thats ok

[nebula-chao-agere]

You guys had to have expected this at some point

Also, I would just like to note, that some of these are exclusive to certain plot lines, but since it’s Sonic, I’m kinda of blurring the lines of the plotlines ig??? Like, I’m making headcanons based on SA2 and Prime, so do with this what you will.

Regressor! Shadow

(!¡! Diaper/Pull-up mention !¡!)

He is an itty bitty baby, and regressed due to unbelievable amounts of trauma and just a lack of childhood. He deserves the absolute best.

Shadow is the fussiest little hedgy to ever grace the earth.

He has a collection of shark plushies and other assorted items/toys.

His headspace ranges from 3 all the way down to completely nonverbal. He’s not very good at pinpointing what age he feels because he has no concept of what childhood feels like.

Shadow really likes to wear baggy clothes when little, even though he doesn’t wear clothes normally. Big sweaters and sleeper onsies are ideal.

He doesn’t really understand the concept of diapers, but knows they’re for babies, so he enjoys wearing them just for comfort.

Shadow actually doesn’t understand most ‘little’ things and gets really upset about this fact. He will melt down over the fact that he doesn’t understand why children can’t just do things on their own, because relying on someone or asking for help is such a foreign concept to him.

Little Shadow didn’t know he wanted to be cared for or shown affection until it was really given to him. Rouge was the first to know about Shadow’s regression, and ever since, “Mimi” Rouge has shown him real (platonic) affection and now that the little one has had cuddles, he refuses to let them stop. He’s just a clingy little baby.

-Rouge is probably Shadow’s main caregiver. Sonic is more of an older sibling who regresses with him, but will take on a sort of caregiver role if he’s not regressed with him and Rouge isn’t there.

Instead of movies, sensory videos, or any sort of TV, little Shadow likes to watch livestreams/live video of sharks and fish at aquariums.

He’s a sassy and fussy little baby who has probably bitten before. Little Shadow does not really get along well with Little Sonic unless he’s feeling extra small, sleepy, or he just really doesn’t have it in him to fight with Sonic.

While being a fussy little goober, he’s actually one of the more calm little ones. As long as he has everything he could want (stuffies, snacks, movies, bottle, etc - just anything he needs in the moment to feel comfortable and fulfilled at the moment) without being asked to do anything, or even just being spoken to, he’s actually just a chill little guy.

-Though it can make no sense at times, there are times where, even when regressed, Shadow just needs some time alone. Whether he just needs the time to think or reflect or just to be little on his own, it’s okay to have alone time when you’re little too.

Rouge and Shadow have a made up language for safe words, just in case saying ‘no’ is too scary or saying anything at all in the moment is already daunting.

Shadow has a lot of trouble with any caregivers, not liking being told what to do in any sense. He doesn’t understand why he needs to be watched over or watched and parented when regressed, but after a small tumble that occurred in the living room after he was asked to pick up his toys, he started to understand a better.

“I don’t want to…” the regressed hedgy mumbled, crossing his arms and stopping his foot a bit. Rouge sighed softly. “Sweetie, if you can just put away your toys in the toy box by the time Mimi comes back, we can watch the shark videos tonight before bed, okay little guy?” Shadow continues pouting as Rouge walks into the kitchen to quickly clean the dishes. Not watching where he was walking, he went to go sit over on the couch, but stumbled over some of his blocks on the floor. Tears sprung to his eyes, even it hadn’t hurt all that bad, Shadow having been through far worse, it still frightened the regressed Shadow. Rouge heard the tumble and quickly rushed in, finding the misty eyed hedgehog breathing shakily as he carefully situated himself so he sat on his knees now. “Baby! Hey! Little guy, what happened?! I didn’t even fully step out of the room!” She pointed out. Shadow didn’t even turn to look at her, far too stubborn. With shaky hands, he started to move his blocks and other toys to the toy box like Mimi asked. Rouge looked worriedly over him, but smiled softly when he got all his toys put away. After which, he crawled over to Rouge, and softly cried to her shoulder. He was just an itty bitty baby… “Mimi…I feww down.” Shadow finally admitted. “I’m sor’y I didn’ c’ean up m’ toys.” He sniffled, shivering a bit as he sat in her lap.

He has a lot of nightmares, and gets very uncomfortable talking, about space. Being stuck in The Void in Sonic Prime and Space Colony ARK for a huge part of his life, it’s a very uncomfortable and isolating topic for him. Most people find space to awesome while he wants to curl up and hide away from it.

-Silver had only good intentions when he bought Shadow the glow in the dark stars for his room, not expecting a small Shadow freak out. It wasn’t a big panicky freak out, but he went nonverbal and closed himself off to everyone else in the room. Silver didn’t know, but would later gift the stars to Sonic instead, and got Shadow some new bath toys with some recommendations from Rouge.

Shadow gets flustered easily by little nicknames far too easily, and will the act like a ‘big boy’ but after a few minutes of little names, praise, and tons of kisses on his cheek, you’ll have a giggly little hedgy in no time.

Surprisingly, he has little to no shame with his little stuff. He’ll be having a normal conversation, and in the middle of someone talking, he’ll pull out his pacifier and pop it into his mouth and act like it’s the most normal thing ever. He doesn’t really understand that it’s not a normal thing for someone to want to do, but he also knows that any judgment will be kept to themselves, Shadow having the ability to easily kick just about anyone’s ass.

Bottles >>> Sippies

Rouge LOVES to spoil this little guy, and has dedicated most of her living room to be a safe play space for little Shadow. She has done everything she can to make it feel like a genuine play space for a child, not just a makeshift attempt for an adult who’s never experienced childhood. She wants to give Shadow a taste of a real childhood.

-He loves playing on the road carpet with his toy cars, especially when Sonic comes over. Silver likes playing with their plushies more when he comes over, the two having a closer headspace, while a Sonic is like the older cousin coming over to play.

(I’m so sorry my energy/motivation are DEPLETED right now. Trying to post stuff still, I swear.)

Ultimate life form not immune to whatever this is, turns out

[sweetdreams-sanrio]

[kitkat-corner]

Context: I headcanon that Shadow would experience the type of regression sometimes where he forgets he’s not really a little toddler like he was. He forgets he’s not still on the ark being raised by Maria and the scientists.

Caregiver Sonic is just doing his best to keep him from knowing and telling him that she’ll come home, praying he’ll be out of his regressed headspace by the time he wants to ask again.
