positivity for regressors who aren't physically small

❤️ for the regressors who are super tall

🧡 for the regressors who are fat

💚 for the regressors who are muscular

💙 for the regressors with broad shoulders

💜 for the regressors who are big in any other sense

you're still regressors. big people are allowed to be cute or delicate or soft. being big doesn't mean you're not deserving of care.

💕 Reminders about Content Theft 💕

💕 Just a quick reminder to all you kiddos, to remember to always properly credit the content in your posts. I've seen a lot of regressors failing to do this recently. I don't wanna see theft in age regression communities! 💕

❤️ - "I don't know the artist" or "I found it on pinterest " or "I found it on google" are not acceptable credits.

🧡 - Simply reposting someone else content with absolutely no transformative work done by you is theft. Unless you are adding something to the content, just reblog it instead.

💚 - Art should be credited. But remember, drawings aren't the only form of art - please also credit photography, products from small shops, videos by other creators, etc. Anything that you did not personally create should be credited.

💙 - "Anything that you did not personally create should be credited." Exceptions are made for things created by big corporations. Posting pictures of toys from Walmart, Temu, whatever, don't really need credits. Honestly...its probably for the best, don't send people to scammy sites like Temu or Ali Express.

💜 - Remember not the steal things :) if you can't credit something, don't post. It's that simple. Your moodboard or stimboard may be cute, but if you can't credit, you can't post.

💕 Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. 💕

Important Internet Safety PSA!

This post is specifically targeted at minors.

Hi kiddos! I'm making this post to remind all regressors on here that they should be extra sure to stay safe online!

For a while now, I've seen minors posting things that are not safe 🙅 but anyone can benefit from following these tips. Especially those who regress, and can be mentally children at times, should be extra cautious online.

Warning! : mentions of potentially triggering topics in relation to online safety, stranger danger, etc. Please only read when big, not regressed!

Read Under The Cut ⬇️

Things Minors Should Not Share Online:

1) Your Real Name.

Never share your full name online. Your first name is less dangerous, but if you can, I would still go by pseudonym (Ex: Sunny, Lambie, Tiny, Bear, Baby Bat, etc.) or fake name. Your name may feel innocent, but personal information is very important.

2) Your Location.

This one feels obvious, but more people do it than you think! Yes, I mean do not share your address...but I also mean: Do not share what school you attend. Do not share what state you live in. Do not share what city you live in.

3) Your Age.

Do not tell anyone that you are a minor. People online should not know that you are a child. As a child, you are especially vulnerable to being targeted by people online.

Age regressors in general are pretty commonly targeted by p/redators online, but stating you're a minor won't make you more safe from them - it will make those predators more likely to want to message you.

Remember to also not share your birthday! Your exact birth date is personal info. If you wish to share birthday stories, gifts, etc, or tell people of your birthday, be broad. Mention it's your birthday month at the beginning/end of the month :) rather than the exact day.

4) Your Triggers.

People online should not know what specific things trigger you. This information can be used against you. Yes, this includes information in DNIs.

If you must have a DNI, be generic.

"DNI if you post kink, blood, eating disorders, transphobia, these things trigger me." is too much personal information. This is just a list of things that trigger you. People online should NOT know this information. ❌ ❌

❤️ Generic DNI examples:

"DNI if your blog is unsafe for children"

"DNI if you post N/S/F/W content."

"DNI if your blog is k/i/n/k, c/g/l, or NSFW." ❤️

Remember to use your block button liberally, for anyone who makes you uncomfortable.

5) Photos of yourself.

There are multiple reasons why posting photos of yourself, as a minor, may not be a good idea.

First, regression is very stigmatized. Choosing to connect your face to something so stigmatized is a very big decision, one that can be difficult to make at a young age. The internet is forever, and it's very important to consider how you might feel about these photos later in life.

Second, regression is SFW, but p/redators don't care. While the pictures of you with a paci, or you in a diaper may be completely innocent and nonsexual, bad people can still access them. This doesn't mean you can never post photos - but waiting until you're old enough to really understand the risks is a good idea.

In general, photos of your regression can be unsafe but...you can share photos without you in them! Pictures of your snacks, or a toy can be nice to share. Just make sure there's no personal, or identifying info in your pictures :) and then show off your cute drawings or toys.

Personal information is very precious. Be very careful with who you share it with! If you are an adult, you have the knowledge to make the decision on whether or not you think it's a good idea to share this information. But if you are a child, you're usually not old enough to understand what sharing personal info can mean.

I know a lot of these may feel really restricting. You might think "isn't that a little much?" and yes, they can be a lot to ask. But staying safe is super important.

It's important for you kiddos to remember that most of you are in categories that can make you extra vulnerable. Being minors, being neurodivergent, being queer, having faced past trauma, being an age regressor...are all things that can make you especially vulnerable.

If you decide to share these things anyway, I hope I've encouraged you to try to do so sparingly. Maybe you can share some of these, but decide to make others private.

Stay safe kiddos!

❤️ me and my blog 🧡

hi! i'm bug (they/he/it/xe) and i'm 22.

this is a sfw agere blog. it's going to be in the style of an "older sibling" type blog where i give advice, safety tips, and answer any questions you may have about age regression or the communities here on tumblr.

i will also be posting things about general positivity and self care! i've been on there agere side of tumblr for a long time now.

feel free to send in asks! questions, things you're confused about, and everything and anything else. i want this to be a safe place to kids to learn.

💛 blog rules 💚

1.) do not interact if your blog is not sfw. Educational blogs are fine, but no p/o/r/n or people practicing k/i/n/k.

2.) minors can send asks, but do not dm me if you are below 18.

3.) do not call me parental terms or caregiver pet names. call me bug. you can also call me masc slang terms like bro, dude, guy, etc.

💙 disclaimers 💜

this blog will contain some mentions of k/i/n/k, discourse, p/e/d/o/p/h/i/l/i/a and other potentially triggering topics. this account was created for the purpose of education - which is why it may include ways on how to regress safely, online safety tips, how to avoid p/redators, etc.

These are very hard to discuss but, but necessary conversations to have. Regressors should know how to stay safe and happy! Everything will have trigger warnings.
