I wish I was treated like I was physically little.

I wish I was greeted with a smile and a kind word by adults who didn't know me. I wish my shyness was seen as cute and not 'weird'. I wish my mistakes were corrected gently and forgiven. I wish I was carried to bed as I grew tired and tucked in with a kiss. I wish that when I grew frustrated and cried it was met with "aww, it's OK" and not sneers and laughter and "why are you acting like a baby? Grow up." I wish that when I got overwhelmed it was understood that I needed some quiet rest and I wasn't pushed to keep going.

I know lots of adults didn't give these graces even when I was physically little, but even the little bit that I got made it just that much easier. I'm still so small in such a big world, and it's just gotten rougher as I got bigger.

agere/petre + carer/babysitter flags

it's not moodboards, i know, but it's here anyway.

reminder that these are to be used for nonsexual purposes only, NO K!NK

the colors, in order from top to bottom, are

pastel yellow: for age regressors

pastel green: for pet regressors

pastel blue: for carers and babysitters

pastel purple: for regression as a whole

important note: every stripe is meant to be entirely inclusive to folks of all big/regressed ages, colors, shapes and sizes, and to folks with and without disabilities and/or mental illnesses.

"regression as a whole" means all kinds of regression. not just agere and petre, but also: age/pet dreaming, pure and impure, voluntary and involuntary, system littles/middles, and whatever else your personal regression involves and means to you.

see below for some alternate versions !!

bottle + paci: for kiddos who regress to 0-4 or an undetermined younger age, or can be used by anyone who prefers this version

sippy cup + teddy bear flag: for kiddos who regress to 5-10 or an undetermined age that's a little bit older, or can be used by anyone who prefers this version

teddy bear flag: for kiddos whose regressed age fluctuates, or can be used by anyone who prefers this version
