#your regression is valid

[iced-baby-bunn13]

Reminder <3 (for the littles)

Your regression is valid ..

🌷 if you're a closeted little

🌷 if you don't have little gear/cant afford little gear/don't want little gear

🌷 if you're a teen regressor

🌷 if you have a hairy body (arms, legs, chest, etc)

🌷 if you're a male regressor

🌷 if you're a poc regressor

🌷 if you're a chubby regressor

🌷 if you're a permaregressor

🌷 if you regress due to trauma

🌷 if you're a disabled regressor

🌷 if you regress due to stress/anxiety

🌷 if you don't like pinks or pastel colors

🌷 if you're 30+ in big age and still regress

🌷 if you don't have a caregiver/don't want a caregiver

🌷 if you don't have any siblings/don't want siblings

🌷 if you're not comfortable posting about your regression/being open about your regression

And sososo many more .. no matter who you are, where you are, or what you are, your regression matters and is so incredibly valid <3 as long as it helps you cope with whatever it is you need help with, or even if it's simply just for funsies, you'll always be valid <3

arguing that an agere hc is unrealistic or goes against canon is kind of silly because unless the source material explicitly has a character say ‘I am not an age regressor’ there’s really no definitive way of saying that a character wouldn’t age regress. the reasons people regress are so varied that you could literally hc any character as a regressor and most likely be able to reasonably explain it with canon.

it's ok to be an age regressor who prefers watching media for adults, even while regressed! you don't have to love children's media to be a regressor and even if you love to watch things like horror movies while regressed, you're still a valid age regressor!

there’s no shame in wanting someone to look after you dewdrop. flowers weren’t meant to grow all on their own, it takes a garden of care for them to blossom. to need or want a caregiver doesn’t make you any less strong nor capable of handling things on your own sapling, in fact your bibi thinks it makes those qualities shine even brighter. you deserve to be surrounded by safety that assures and accommodates you~ your needs and requests are allowed to be voiced and won’t be judged or criticized sweetheart.

hey guys, I know a lot of hate is going around in the therian/ agere communities!

I just want to say, some people are just rude about things unessecarilly. and I also want to say, my blog is a safe place for any therians/otherkins and/or age regressors.

everyone is valid!! <3

the moment people stop being comically against courtney is the day i stop making fun of them for being weird and wrong. stop being weird about a fictional character in ways that are hilariously stupid and ill stop calling you hilariously stupid

It’s crazy how much my school stumbles over itself to take the centrist position to everything but stays just clear of taking a side and making it clear they’re in support of their minority students 🙄🙄

What if I told you that regression is regression and is all the same whether or not it's "pure" or "impure." What if I told you that trying to reinvent these labels in a way that's supposed to be progressive and inclusive just further alienates those whose regression is a result of mental illness, and that doing so is an attempt at detaching yourself from severely mentally ill regressors that you are much more similar to than people who don't age regress. What if I told you that truly healthy regression is supposed to include being cathartic and experiencing "ugly" emotions and being vulnerable.

What if. Imagine..

Holy fuck, all of your takes about homosexuality are DOGSHIT today, kiddos. Has “queer” in-fighting fully circled back around to become pure homophobia? It’s more likely than you think!

[spac3-b0y]

Daily reminder that your way of regressing is just as valid as anyone else’s, and you don’t need to compare yourself to others. As long as it makes you happy, and it works for you, its exactly how it needs to be.

you’re doing great, kid. keep your chin up.

tips for depressed, chronically ill, & disabled littles.

please reblog to help spread awareness!

it can sometimes be hard to feel little when you spend a lot of time in pain, bedridden, dealing with scary big thoughts, or any of the other things that can accompany mental or physical disabilities so these are things u can do to feel small with little effort.

ᯓ★ keep soft blankets + stuffies near you

literally what’s smaller than having your soft little comfort plushes with you? this is probably the easiest thing u can do that will make you feel at least a little smaller.

ᯓ★ download mobile games for kids

if you aren’t someone who can get up and down off the floor or if you’re in a lot of pain, or if its just a rough day and you want to stay in bed little kid games are good for feeling tiny.

ᯓ★ play baby music or soft lullabies 

if you’re not feeling up to playing at all and just need to rest, lullabies and nursery rhymes are rlly good for helping you rest and helping you feel tiny.

ᯓ★ age regression fanfic

this might sound silly but for littles with chronic pain something that genuinely can help is mood boards, one shots, etc. about ur favorite fictional cgs.

ᯓ★ think of your ‘lazy’ clothes as baby clothes

toddlers and babies are almost always dressed in comfy soft clothes so if you’re always in your soft sweatpants or cozy pjs to alleviate discomfort it’s just like little kids getting dressed in their soft little clothes!

ᯓ★ middle regression is always an option

if you’re worried about regressing because you have to take care of yourself (ex. handle a walking aid, medicine, etc.) middle regression is super accessible because you can be regressed and do a lot of the things big you can already do

middle regression can also entail less rambunctious/active play (videos games, reading, coloring, etc.)

ᯓ★ audio books 

if you look up ‘audio kids books’ or some form of that on youtube you can find kids stories read aloud! its something super fun that can make you feel small and you can do it anywhere at anytime.

ᯓ★ calming kids activities 

there are a whole bunch of websites that have ‘calm down’ activities for when kids are winding down from rambunctious play (playing with play dough, sensory toys, singing abcs/nursery rhyme games)

ᯓ★ remember not all regression looks the same

you don’t have to do anything to be small or to be valid as a regressor, regression looks different for everyone. there are ppl who regress and watch horror movies or ppl who regress while doing big kid things like going to the store or to school. your disability, no matter what form it comes in, does not invalidate your regression.

if you’re a little with disabilities, mama koda loves you!!

Different ways to play with toys

As someone who sometimes has a harder time playing with my toys i saw a couple post talking about different ways to play with toys that aren't the “typical” ways to play

-✨-

❀ When it comes to stuffies or toys that have hair (ex: mlp) i like to give them a grooming day! I give them a bath, do their hair, and then sometimes dress them up like they had a nice spa day.

★ You can draw/paint pictures of them and write a story about them (an adventure, what they like, etc)

❀ if drawing isnt you thing you can also take picture of them and/or make a blog for them (pretend theyre taking pictures for insta)

★ Take them around with you to keep you company! you can set them up so it looks like they are playing games/eating with you

❀ Make them matching bracelets

★ If that stuff aint your thing you could always organize them, sort them by color or species, write a list about when/ where you got them, or one about who youd think would be friends

❀ Cuddle and hug them

Remember that not everyone's regression is the same and some people like to play with their toys in different ways, and no matter how they do so its perfectly valid!!

you have the right to heal your inner child in whatever safe way you wish. your regression is valid and you do not need to justify it to anyone. you know your body and your mind best.
