Regressor! Nam-gyu w/ Caregiver! Thanos

Summary: Thanos has Nam-gyu’s spare key to his apartment. He decides to come over unannounced, only to find Nam-gyu regressed.

Contains: Age regression, toys, pacifiers, slight swearing.

A/N: This was originally requested on ao3 but I’m posting it on here as well.

Not proofread.

Thanos quietly laughed to himself as he made his way to Nam-gyu’s apartment. A couple weeks ago he had taken Nam-gyu’s spare key, mostly as a prank and to see how long it would take Nam-gyu to notice that it’s missing. He had yet to notice, so Thanos decided to surprise him and come by his place, without him knowing.

When he arrived at the apartment door, Thanos unlocked the door and slowly opened it while peaking inside. He didn’t see anything yet, but he could hear the tv playing. Though, he couldn’t make out what it was.

“Hellooo? Anyone home?” Thanos laughed as he walked into the apartment, quietly shutting the door behind him. “Nam-gyu, where are yo-” Thanos froze when he fully walked into the living room, where Nam-gyu was just staring at him.

Thanos definitely didn’t expect to see Nam-gyu sitting on his living room floor, playing with toys and having a pacifier in his mouth. He was shocked, to say the least, but he was aware of what was happening. He was just surprised that he walked in on Nam-gyu being in such a state.

“Am I interrupting something?” Thanos joked while walking over to Nam-gyu, who just kept staring at him. He was too far in his headspace to fully understand what was happening, all he knew was that Thanos was there for some reason. He wasn’t able to comprehend that Thanos now knew about something he wasn’t supposed to know.

“Hi!” Thanos smiled as he knelt down in front of Nam-gyu and waved at him. Still, Nam-gyu continued to just stare with the most confused expression on his face. “Can you talk at all, buddy?” Thanos questioned, but Nam-gyu only stayed silent. “Do you understand what I’m saying?” Nam-gyu took a moment to answer, before he eventually nodded his head.

“Okay good!” Thanos laughed a little and gently ruffled Nam-gyu’s hair, making the shorter man giggle. “Can you tell me how old you are, bud? Do you know?” Nam-gyu let out another tiny giggle, then proudly held up two fingers, clearly becoming more comfortable with the fact that Thanos was there.

“Oh wow! You’re a just a teeny, tiny, little guy, aren’t you?” Thanos teased. Nam-gyu squirmed around in his spot a little, smiling while nodding his head again. He always did want someone to be around when he’d regress, but he was too nervous to tell anyone about his coping mechanism. So, he was just so excited over the fact that Thanos was talking to him and being so friendly with him.

Thanos looked around the area, at all the toys Nam-gyu had lying around. He picked up one and showed it to Nam-gyu, whose eyes immediately went wide with curiosity, since he didn’t know what Thanos was going to do.

“Who’s this?” Thanos asked, holding a light gray cat stuffed animal. Nam-gyu was quiet and stared at Thanos. He had a hard time speaking, he always did when he’d regress, no matter what age he was at. Though, since he was towards the younger side, Nam-gyu couldn’t really speak at all, so instead of responding with words, he let out a small squeak and pointed at the toy.

Thanos couldn’t help but laugh. “I think that answers my question from earlier.” He said. “You can’t speak, huh?” Nam-gyu shook his head, but still with his best efforts, he tried to talk. Sadly for him, he was unable to do so, causing him to pout and whine out of frustration.

“It’s okay, little man. You don’t have to force yourself to try and talk.” Thanos told him. “I understand it’s hard. You can just tell me your kitty’s name later.” He said. Nam-gyu gave a small smile in return. He wasn’t used to someone being so caring and understanding towards him while he was little, but he really did enjoy it.

Thanos set the stuffed animal down, then had his attention on one of the toy cars Nam-gyu had. He pressed two of his fingers down on the car and pushed it over to Nam-gyu.

“Vroom!” Thanos exclaimed as he continued to push the car around. Nam-gyu watched him do so while he also made sound effects, which only caused Nam-gyu to burst out into a fit of giggles. He got one of the other cars, and pushed it over to the car Thanos had, crashing it into his.

“Oh no!” Thanos spoke dramatically. “The cars crashed! What are we going to do, Nam-gyu?” Thanos questioned. Nam-gyu only giggled and kept bumping his car into the car Thanos had. “Is that what we need to do? We need to keep bumping them into each other?” Nam-gyu nodded, before ramming the toy car into the other as hard as he could, causing it to fling out of Thanos’s hand.

Nam-gyu’s eyes widened a bit, since he hadn’t meant to do that, but Thanos started to laugh a little while going to retrieve it. The two continued to play with the cars for a little bit, then eventually switched over to playing with stuffed animals, as that’s what Nam-gyu wanted to do. Though, after some time, Nam-gyu started to yawn and rub his eyes.

“Are you sleepy, little man?” Nam-gyu nodded his head and reached out for Thanos, which he couldn’t help but smile at. “Aww! Come here!” Thanos stood up from the floor, then picked up Nam-gyu, who instantly made himself comfortable in his arms.

Before taking him back to his room, Thanos decided to grab the cat stuffed animal he had earlier and a blanket he saw, that had been lying next to Nam-gyu the whole time. He figured Nam-gyu would want the items to nap with.

Once he had the items, Thanos carried Nam-gyu back to his bedroom. When Thanos attempted to put him in his bed, Nam-gyu whined and clung to him.

“Oh, it’s alright, buddy.” Thanos placed the items he had in his hand on the bed, then began to gently pat Nam-gyu on the back. “I’ll be here the whole time. You just need to take a nap, okay?” Thanos told him while trying to lay him down in his bed, which this time he succeeded in. Thanos handed Nam-gyu his blanket and stuffed animal, then began to play with his hair a little.

“I’ll be out in the living room when you wake up.” Thanos said. “You’re such a tiny guy, I don’t know how you’ve managed to take care of yourself all on your own.” He teased as he rubbed Nam-gyu’s cheek with his finger. Nam-gyu let out a small giggle, before quickly hiding his face in his blanket, making Thanos laugh a bit.

“Alright, alright. I’ll leave you alone.” Thanos spoke. “Sweet dreams, little man.” Thanos lightly patted Nam-gyu on the shoulder a couple times, then left the room, turning the lights off and closing the door behind him.

Out of boredom, Thanos decided to clean up all the toys that were scattered around the living room. Once that was done, he changed the channel on the tv and put on something he wanted to watch, then laid down on the couch.

It had been almost two hours that passed and Thanos was beginning to doze off on the couch. Though, before he could actually fall asleep, he was startled by a sudden, surprised gasp.

“What the hell are you doing here?!” Thanos sat up on the couch and saw Nam-gyu, who had a shocked expression on his face. Obviously, he was out of his regressed headspace and back into his regular one.

“Well, I came by to surprise you, but when I got here you were playing with toys and watching cartoons. I didn’t think I should leave you alone, so I stayed here with you.” Thanos explained. By the end of his sentence, Nam-gyu looked completely mortified. He thought Thanos being there with him was a weird dream he had, not something that actually happened.

“You don’t have to be embarrassed.” Thanos said when he saw Nam-gyu’s facial expression. “I’m not judging you for it or anything. I won’t tell anyone about it.” Thanos spoke as he stood up from the couch and walked over to Nam-gyu, who couldn’t even make eye contact with him.

“You should’ve just left. You shouldn’t have had to deal with me when I’m like that.” Nam-gyu mumbled. “You know, I didn’t mind taking care of you. I actually found it to be enjoyable.” Thanos admitted. Nam-gyu looked at him with a bit of surprise.

“You don’t have to agree to it, but whenever you regress, you can call me. I’ll come over and help you out.” Thanos told him. “You’d really do that for me? Seriously?” Thanos nodded. “Yeah anytime! Even if it’s the middle of the night or I’m busy, I’ll still come over.” He responded, causing Nam-gyu to smile a little.

“Thanks, Thanos. I..appreciate it.” He said, still a bit embarrassed but definitely not as much. Maybe Thanos knowing about his regression wasn’t as bad as he thought. Maybe Nam-gyu actually found someone who could help him and be a caregiver for him whenever he’d regress.

little mari headcanons !! ⤷ featuring : pre ⼃no crash tl 𓈒 middlere 𓈒 mari lore 𓈒

mari my blorbo !! i plan on doing (at least) 2 more posts discussed here but part one yippeeee ! been planning for awhile but officially requested by my lovely mooties @spinnydino & @puppyregceo 𓈒 you can find my yellowjackets masterlist here and my upcoming list here 𓈒 mari lore from s3e3 discussed 𓈒

mari began consciously regressing after her cousin's death 𓈒 despite only being 12 , mari found herself beginning to feel smaller again 𓈒 it was the only time she could escape the putrid , near crippling feeling of guilt , of responsibility , of overwhelming sorrow 𓈒

mari tends to regress between the ages of 6 and 10 𓈒 she tends to regress on the older end of the range , to around 9 or 10 , an age at which she has many fond memories of her cousin , her family 𓈒 however her mental state has a large impact on how small she'll be 𓈒 if she's having particularly strong memories they may lead to her slipping further 𓈒 although pleasant for awhile when left alone with her thoughts the guilt may come seeping back in 𓈒

if mari's having a hard time she'll go younger to a time before everything 𓈒 she'll be 6 or 7 , a little guy with lots of feelings 𓈒 she tends to be a very emotional regressor , going from giggly to weepy in a flash 𓈒 her regression is at the end of the day a coping mechanism after all 𓈒

being a part of a big family and one of the only girls , mari is used to pushing the envelope to get attention 𓈒 she's a cheeky little thing , unafraid to stomp her foot , or throw a tantrum 𓈒 she's quite testy , always pushing the buttons of her cousins and friends 𓈒 she's the type to play up injuries when playfighting or joking around 𓈒 if she wants attention or is feeling mischievous she'll burst into tears seemingly out of nowhere while roughhousing with an older cousin 𓈒 she'll blubber until she's satisfied with all eyes being on her then jump right back up , giggling and shoving right back 𓈒

a caregiver for mari would have to be patient 𓈒 mari is quite emotional , fussing whenever scolded , kicking and screaming when an attempt to stop playtime is made 𓈒 "c'mon munchkin , time for a bath 𓈒" akilah will say gently 𓈒 mari will scrunch up her face in frustration , refusing to let go of her toys or stop her game 𓈒 she'll pretend not to hear her caregiver , loudly "la la la" - ing while she continues to play and will lash out by biting or hitting when given a gentle tap 𓈒

mari is a messy little one 𓈒 she refuses to clean up her toys , dropping them where she stands when it's time for lunch or a potty break , picking them right back up when she's finished 𓈒 she'll leave her toys strewn about the floor where they'll often be stepped on & a few times broken 𓈒 mari will scream and fuss if she comes back to her action figure missing a limb or if her legos are swept into a neat pile 𓈒 she'll refuse to use sippy cups or bottles , insisting that they're for babies and she's NOT a baby then like clockwork end up spilling her brightly covered juice all over her rug or a friend's tablecloth 𓈒

despite mari’s insistence that she’s big and her tendency to poke fun at the younger regressors on the team she's not immune to more "babyish" comforts herself 𓈒 mari is a big thumb sucker as much as she tries to protest this fact 𓈒 she'll poke fun at misty when she sucks her thumb yet the minute mari begins to drop her thumb is inching toward her mouth 𓈒 whenever the poor girl is upset she'll begin nibbling at her thumbnail , a tell tale sign she's slipping 𓈒 if nat or shauna pokes fun at her she'll immediately glower at them , snapping about how she's not a baby 𓈒 she's insistent that only babies suck their thumbs 𓈒

much to her embarrassment mari is prone to accidents while regressed 𓈒 she is a kiddo with a short attention span , always thrusting herself into new activities and tending to ignore or even be unaware of her bodily needs to fully immerse herself in her play 𓈒 she's prone to meltdowns , both embarrassed and angry at herself and worrying akilah will think she's a baby 𓈒 mari needs a lot of reassurance and help calming down after an accident 𓈒 she'll be quite scowly and tearful for awhile after , avoiding her playmates and caregiver but with enough reassurance she'll bounce back to her usual bubbly self 𓈒

mari is tough to please 𓈒 with her generally short attention span combined with adhd she gets bored of activities very quickly 𓈒 babysitting mari is a tough job 𓈒 you might think you've brought enough activities for the whole afternoon but mari on the other hand is through with them all in 30 minutes , prodding and poking you asking for something new 𓈒 she's a whiner , making it everybody's problem when she's bored 𓈒

mari is quite fidgety as well 𓈒 she needs reminders to play nice with her toys often bending them too hard or playing too roughly with them 𓈒 she's oftentimes understimulated , taking out her frustrations on her toys 𓈒

although she's definitely proud of her status as a brat mari is such a sweetheart when it comes to her caregiver akilah 𓈒 she's quite loving always drawing her pictures and holding her hand , making up little songs to sing to her 𓈒 she can be quite clingy with her but akilah doesn't mind a bit ! although she's a notorious rule breaker normally , she does her best to be a good girl for akilah and akilah only 𓈒 mari will fuss and throw fits if she gives too much attention to someone else though 𓈒

mari is tough to be friends with 𓈒 she's bossy and teases just a little too hard often leading to tears which only frustrates the girl 𓈒 "you're fine , don't be a baby ," she'll say with a pout 𓈒 she's stubborn oftentimes refusing to apologize or acknowlege when she makes a mistake 𓈒 all of these factors tend to leave the other regressors on the team wary of mari 𓈒 mari however , is blissfully unaware of this fact 𓈒 one thing a little ! mari loves is making friendship bracelets , matching ones for her and her friends 𓈒 mari will slip you a bracelet with a shy smile on her face , a peace offering after she's made you cry or thrown an extra big tantrum 𓈒

little ! mari is infatuated with none other than lottie matthews 𓈒 though she refuses to admit it she looks up to lottie as a cool older sister figure , copying her every move 𓈒 she's always ranting to akilah about how "lottie said this" and "lottie did that" , begging her caregiver to let her "pretty please with sugar on top" see lottie again 𓈒 lottie doesn't quite know what to make of this but she's flattered nonetheless 𓈒 despite mari's typical brashness and her poorly hidden obsession with the older girl she tends to get shy around her , suddenly out of quips and sassy remarks 𓈒

mari loves going to the park ! she's quite fond of outings of any kind but her most favorite tends to be the playground 𓈒 she's not afraid to side eye a littler kid than her whose using the swing she wants though this earns her a scolding from akilah 𓈒 she's always challenging her caregiver to swinging competitions , seeing who can swing higher or jump further 𓈒 she's a very playful little monkey , quick to challenge her playmates to little competitions 𓈒 she's definitely a sore loser though , making up excuses and hurling insults when she loses 𓈒

Do you remember the podcast episode where Chris and Nick were mean to Matt ( calling him miserable etc.), and could you write something fluffy abt the reader comforting Matt after they filmed that episode?

[🩹] bottled up | matt sturniolo one-shot

paring : little!matt sturniolo x cg!gn!reader

summary : sometimes matt's brothers are just too mean...and sometimes a bottle fixes everything

warning/extra tid-bits : nick and chris being meanies (happy ending though!), crying, use of y/n, i think that should be it!

word count : 1,037

divider credit : @v6que

a/n : this podcast episode stressed me out so bad (sorry for any typos, i'm just a girl !)

Matt left the room as soon as he could, ignoring his brother’s taunts about how he was “Miserable” and “Negative”.

He could already feel the tears slipping out from his baby blue eyes as he ran upstairs and into his room, slamming his door shut behind him and twisting the lock with a satisfying “click!”

You sat on his bed, watching the whole scene unfold. Carefully putting your cheesy rom com book on his nightstand, you cleared your throat causing Matt’s eyes widened in surprise, he’s forgotten you were here but once he remembered he thanked god.

“M-Mama/D-Dada/B-Baba!” Matt cried, holding his arms out for a hug. Your sweet boy didn’t have to ask twice because you instantly pulled him into a hug, sitting the two of you down on his bed. Matt managed to shimmy his way onto your lap as you held him in a cradling position.

“Shhh, I’m here darling. I’m here.” You comforted him, placing gently kisses atop his head. Matt continued crying for what felt like an hour, mumbling out stuff about how Chris was a “meanie” and Nick was too.

“Were they being mean to my sweet boy?” You asked sympathetically. He nodded against your now tear-stained shirt.

“I’m sorry sweetheart…Do you want me to go talk to them?” You offered, you weren’t even sure what you would say but you already had some choice words in mind. Luckily for Chris and Nick, Matt shook his head which was now resting right above your heart. Your heartbeat had always seemed to be soothing to the little.

“Okay angel, well what do you need from Mama/Dada/Baba right now?” You asked, curling the back of his hair around your fingertips.

Thinking for a moment, Matt’s hands anxiously picked at the skin near his nails. You quietly took one of his hands, squeezing some of the pressure points in it in an attempt to alleviate some of his anxiety. 

“M’ want…” Matt trailed off into a mumble, a shy blush invading his face. You smiled, looking down at the little on your lap. “Hm? What is it?” You pried, “M’ wanna bottle…” He mumbled, rubbing his eyes sleepily. 

You beamed, always delighted to give your boy a bottle, before nodding. “Okay sweetheart, can you wait here while Mama/Dada/Baba brings the bottle up?” You asked, he thought for a moment before nodding.

After some gentle coaxing and multiple pinky promises you would return, you found yourself in the kitchen. You’d managed to avoid both Nick and Chris, unscrewing Matt’s bottle and filling it with milk and a few splashes of vanilla extract.

“Y/N? I didn’t know you were here!” Chris’ voice came from behind you. You internally sighed, turning around. “Yeah, Matt said we’d hang out after the podcast…” You mumbled. “Do you two wanna watch a movie? Me and Nick were gonna watch-” You cut the youngest triplet off, “No, Matt’s not feeling well.” You said firmly. Chris rolled his eyes, “He is still Miserable Matt?” He joked, only you didn’t laugh.

“Can you stop calling him that?” You asked, your tone sharper than intended. Chris paused. “I mean- seriously. I get that you three are brothers and you're gonna mess around but like- just lay off dude.” You continued, “I…” The youngest trailed off, his eyes meeting the bottle behind you.

Both Chris and Nick knew of their brother's regression, you hadn’t always been his caregiver and with Matt’s specific age range, he needed someone to at least make sure he didn’t hurt himself. 

Realizing his actions had caused his older brother to regress, Chris’ face instantly fell. 

“I’m- I’m sorry Y/N I thought-” 

You shook your head, turning around and screwing the cap back onto Matt’s bottle. “Apologize to Matt, not me.” You said, beginning to walk back to Matt’s room, Chris following you. 

“Well not right now!” You scolded, Chris stopped and nodded. “I uh- yeah okay.” He said before sheepishly moving back to the living room where Nick was sitting on the couch.

After sliding back into the room, you were greeted by Matt who was now in comfier clothes.

“Guess what I’ve got!” You sang, gently shaking the bottle in the air. Matt giggled, his puffy eyes beginning to return to normal. 

You sat yourself against the headrest, Matt wasting no time crawling into your lap and laying his head on your chest. You cooed, whispering gentle affirmations to him about how he was a “sweet boy”, specifically your sweet boy.

Bringing the bottle to his lips, Matt hummed as the milk entered his mouth. Your little snuggled further into you, anxiety melting away by the second.

You proceeded to talk about anything and everything you could think of, from the most recent episode of Bluey the two of you had watched…to the weather in your hometown.

Matt listened contentedly, eyes transfixed on you as he drank his milk.

Just as the milk in his bottle ran dry, Matt’s eyes began to grow heavy. “Oh sweetheart…is someone tired?” You cooed, voice dripping in a softness a cloud could only dream of achieving.

“Mhm..” Matt mumbled as you began playing with his hair. “Poor thing, such a sleepy baby~” You smiled, placing a gentle kiss on Matt’s nose.

Giggling, he began allowing sleep to take over his mind. 

It’d been nearly 30 minutes since Matt fell asleep, and you decided to hold him in your lap for as long as your limbs would allow. Just as you were going to move him, you heard the bedroom door creak open.

Turning your gaze to the now open door, you were greeted by Nick and Chris’ faces peeking in. You raised your brow.

“He okay?” Nick asked shyly, you smiled at the oldest brother’s concern. “Yeah, out like a light though.” You let out a breathy laugh, the two brothers doing the same.

The two brothers helped move Matt off of you, tucking him in. 

Nick told you he already planned on apologizing to his middle brother first thing in the morning before leaving you and Chris on your own.

“Movie offer still stands,” Chris whispered, just before he slipped out the door.

Tw rape, miscarriage, psych ward mention

I said I was never going to talk about him again because he's a vile person as we all know, but fuck it. No anon either, I don't care. Have no proof of this, don't care to dig it up, you had to have been there. But what's really never talked about that I think was extremely insulting and incredibly unforgivable that he did was when he faked a pregnancy for maybe a week. This all happened practically minutes after he posted about his lactation fetish. Just one day, all of the sudden, he posts that he's in the psych ward. He just so happens to have his phone the entire time.

I've been admitted to the psych ward once because I was threatening suicide. They take everything from you after strip searching you. You have to bend over and cough and everything. You can't even go in with your own clothes, and I remember not being allowed my own bra even.

Puppychan gets to keep his phone and stay glued to it? Sure, whatever, I believe that just as much as I believe the time he blacked out days after eating a blueberry.

So he lies about going to the psych ward. Then he claims he was raped in his room in the psych ward. You know, the one he was allowed to bring his own phone into.

He said he knew he was pregnant. How did he know he was pregnant? He said he was lactating that night when he went home. When I was in the psych ward, not only were the rooms were always open door (you can hardly even use a restroom without someone watching you to make sure you don't do anything to yourself), I was there for two days minimum.

He was there for less than half a day.

And he claims he was lactating the night after the assault at the psych ward. You can come to your own conclusions if you have ever taken a biology class.

And here comes the punchline. It's apparently not common knowledge that it takes two weeks for an egg to get fertilized. Because he claims that later that very week, he had a miscarriage.

A miscarriage.

What a slap in the face to someone who was raped numerous times with pregnancy scares. You can think what you want. Sure.

A miscarriage. Over a week before the egg gets fertilized. Yeah. Okay.

How hilarious. All of us who are victims of things like this are the joke. This is only HIS world that he writes the reality and the truths of. Nothing changes. Never will.

As always he never acknowledged this again, therefore no apology. Not that I think that he can even earnestly form the word "sorry."

i was one of puppys followers at that time. i do remember this. and it is what made me unfollow them all that time ago, along with many people, that i knew.

i have known, several survivors of under-age assault. one of which, later did need an abortion. another took her life. it was shocking and disgusting to me, that he would post that. then later continue posting horny furries, as if it never happened. the disonance was obvious.

for lack of a better term. this did trigger me. i have never in my life, not believed a victim of assault. but considering he only posted about this happening, when a callout was first posted about him. at first he tried to say he age regressed only, due to the fact he was trans and gay. then switched to trauma due to mis carriage, and he conveniently memory holed this story, once he forgot he even told it that is. i have a hard time giving him any credit. there are two things that happened, here.

"best" case. puppy was having an episode, and had a delusion, in which that happened, and their menstrual cycle, only affirmed the delusion. if this is genuinely the case. i would not demonize puppy but i would still be upset, that he posted allegations that serious, with no proof and with out even remembering he said so.

worst case. puppy lied. just like with lying about committing suicide via blueberry. or any suicide bait they did. or lying about their race, several times. or made secret accounts to harass themselves, only to quietly delete, when caught. or trying to make alternate accounts with different art styles, to trick people. i unfortunately, think this is the more likely case. though, if salem ever does admit to this. which he very well may once it is brought up here. he will either claim it is a delusion, and call me evil for reminding him. or he will claim it happened, and he got pregnant and miscarried, less than a week after conception.

without revealing too much. i and many people i know, have had close experience with psych wards, whether through themselfs or family. and it is exactly how you describe. yes. abuse does still occur at these facilities. but this is why, when someone is a serial liar. all they do is cause themselves, more pain. nothing you say can be beliefed.

relevant posts under cut. note that, he only told the story, once he was doubted.

puppy, did not even know if they had a miscarriage. highlighting, "potential", in their own post. yet still used this potential miscarriage, as a shield for someone calling them out. instead of simply saying they would try to do better. they just had to be the victim in the situation. what are you going to do. criticise a victim of rape and miscarriage? it highlights his long term behavior. perfectly.

AGH

I'm obsessed with regressed Janis so...

Regina, Janis, and the gang go out. And Janis slips and goes non-verbal so no one knows/can really tell.

Idk

:D I love you and your work so very much, you have so much skill. Truly my favorite writer ever!!!

Fade into you

Janis ‘Imi’ike x Regina George

Warnings: Regina snaps at Janis, fluff, age regression

‘Fade into you

Strange you never knew’

Hearing the crowds of rowdy students around them who were either joking or discussing their weekend plans, Janis couldn’t wait to get out of school grounds. The past week has been filled with quizzes and at home? Janis’ father has been arguing with her mom about every little thing— absolutely just picking a fight when there was no need for that. Janis detested having to go home to that…chaos. So often times, she spent her afternoons at the park or the public library, only arriving home just in time for bed. The girl truly did everything in her power to avoid interacting with her parents. Her mom was okay, well— Janis was really close to her mom. Her father was the problem: almost always having a drink in hand, treating women like they were supposed to wait on him hand and foot, like women were only supposed to be housewives and babymakers. Janis loathed him, Janis couldn’t have her own voice around him…they kind of just co-existed, with one person having no acknowledgement for the other. How’d this start? The bunsen burner incident that led to Janis being kicked out of school for the remainder of that year. Kawaika immediately saw her as malevolent. Like some evil incarnate, and actually cried and asked what happened to ‘the good little girl he raised’. From that day on, Janis decided she was done playing nice. She only tolerated him. Her mom Alohi, fought to get a separation but he never wanted to sign the papers, and claimed he didn’t want to break up a perfectly fine family. This family’s been far from fine as long as Janis could remember, but the more she cared, the sadder she became, the angrier she was. So, eventually, Janis became…numb. Nothing scared her anymore. Losing her best friend was rock bottom for the Hawaiian artist.

She sat in a corner of the library, cozy and with her art supplies spread out before her so she could continue working on her current piece. Lost in her own little world, earphones allowing her to listen to her favourite playlist, Janis was startled when she felt a tap on her shoulder. “Hey.” Regina slid into the chair next to hers. Janis smiled softly, “Hi.”

“Doing okay?” Regina asked quietly, “You left school so quick I didn’t even see where you were headed. Luckily we have your location.”

Yeah, that’s right. Regina was now her girlfriend. And has been for the last six months. They talked and worked things out, eventually admitting their feelings for each other and deciding to start dating after years of being apart.

Janis’ shoulders slouched, then she resumed working on her art. She didn’t want to look at Regina anymore, or Damian, who was standing next to the blonde. “You wanna go to the mall? Have some lunch? You barely ate anything at school today.”

Janis didn’t say anything but began to pack up her stuff. Slinging her backpack on her shoulder, she stood up and walked towards the door. Regina took the smaller girl’s hand in her own, and Damian followed close behind them both while they headed for Regina’s Jeep. No, correction— Gretchen’s BMW X5 SUV. Regina opened the door and Janis wordlessly got in. Damian got in last, after Regina did. Gretchen greeted Janis warmly, but the girl didn’t even do anything as much as a nod back. Gretchen didn’t take that to heart and just let her be. While the rest of the group chatted away, Janis tuned out the noise and drifted off to sleep. Last thing she heard was that Cady would meet them there since she was taking Aaron’s car instead.

Janis didn’t even register it, but she was then somehow in the mall’s food court with her friends, clinging onto her girlfriend’s arm while they all decided what to eat. Regina felt the weight and looked down at her side, “You okay, baby?” The blonde squinted, both puzzled and concerned. It was unusual for Janis to be this quiet, at first she thought Janis was just tired. And she was, but there seemed to be more to it…considering this level of clinginess. Janis finally responded, even though it was just a nod. “Let’s go get our food, okay? Then after that we can go look at some toys before going home?”

Janis continued following the taller girl around, their friends didn’t even bat an eye. The couple wound up sharing some Panda Express. Janis definitely did not want to talk so Regina didn’t force it…as much as she would rather have the girl be talking her ear off. This silence felt tense. Regina didn’t like it. But at least none of their friends were being annoying about it. Gretchen scooted closer to try to chat, still, Janis didn’t even join in the conversation. She had no clue what they were even chatting about now. All Janis knew was that she wanted to eat so she wasn’t hungry, look at some toys at the store and go home with Regina to cuddle.

Gretchen frowned, handing the Hawaiian a peppermint candy. Janis took it hesitantly but smiled before she returned to finishing up her food. “You guys want a ride home?” Gretchen asked.

“I’m uh, taking her to the toy store so you guys—”

Gretchen nodded in understanding, “I know. But I’m sure they don’t mind. They can take Aaron’s car home. Me and Karen will just follow along with you and Jay, drop you guys at yours after you’re done at the store.”

Regina hummed, “Okay, thanks, Gretch.”

“No problem.”

————

Their visit to the toy store was brief. Janis didn’t get anything from there, neither did she want anything. Once Gretchen had dropped them off at Regina’s, the blonde said goodbye to Karen and Gretchen before turning around to enter the house. Still, Janis remained absolutely silent.

Janis crawled under the covers immediately, Regina barely noticed the smaller girl moving around so quickly, so eager to be in the comfort of her girlfriend’s room.

“Wanna cuddle?” Regina asked, already knowing the answer would most likely be yes. Janis nodded, Regina opened up her arms and wrapped them around Janis, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “You’re okay, baby. I’ve got you.” A shaky whine fell from the smaller girl’s lips. Regina rubbed her back soothingly and tilted her chin.

“You’re okay, I promise, bubs.”

Janis chewed on her lips, brown eyes wide and glossed over, just looking into Regina’s bright blue eyes. Regina’s heart clenched as she held the girl’s face in her hand, thumb caressing her cheek. Janis gulped, trying her hardest not to burst into tears. A tear slipped anyway, and Janis hastily wiped it away.

“It’s alright, sweetie.” Regina assured, “You’re safe with me, hm?”

As Janis finally allowed herself to let go of the tears, Regina engulfed her in a hug again. Janis’ face was smushed against Regina’s chest, tears seeping into her grey sweatshirt. All Regina could do was hold her close and let her know she was there. Regina knew the week’s been exceptionally difficult. Both in school and at home, Janis was also due to get her period in about a week. So all things considered, Regina couldn’t say she wasn’t expecting something like this to happen. She was simply glad that the girl now had a safe place to destress, and heal, or cope.

Sometimes, Regina was filled with guilt. Knowing she likely had a part to play in Janis’ regression. But she was also relieved in a way, age regression was a much safer coping mechanism than many others out there. Still, Regina knew Janis self-loathed and isolated until she couldn’t take it. Then…this happens. Janis would reach her limit and revert to a younger state. One where she was young enough to not have gone through any of the bad things, any of the trauma.

Sometimes, like these ones, they had a specific routine. Janis would cry it out then they’ll continue snuggling. After that, Janis would fall asleep to one of her favourite movies in the safety of Regina’s arms. Other days were…easier. Janis was happy and simply wanted to play. There’ve been times were Janis cried so hard she’d get a coughing fit, gagging and all. That made Regina feel the worse because Janis would be inconsolable, but Janis didn’t really know how else to express it other than cry.

“Do you wanna watch a movie?” Regina asked once Janis’d stopped crying.

“No.” Janis blubbered, voice still shaky and muffled since her face was still buried in the taller girl’s side.

“Okay, that’s okay.” Regina said softly, “What do you want?”

Janis only cried harder and buried her face deeper. Regina shushed her and continued the soothing motions of her hand up and down Janis’ back. Eventually, Janis fell asleep for a bit, and woke up asking for a snack. Regina took her downstairs to the kitchen, allowing Janis to pick what she wanted to eat and drink. Janis happily took the mini pack of chocolate chip cookies and a juice box from Regina then plopped on the living room couch to eat. Regina smiled in relief, quickly joining her and turning the TV on, putting on Tinkerbell.

Now, the silence was comfortable. So, Regina allowed herself to be less on alert but still stayed focused and present. In case Janis needed her help grabbing anything, or if she wanted to shower.

“…’m okay.”

“I know, my love.” Regina smooched her on the head again, “I know.”

“…thank you, Reggie.”

“Always, little one.” Regina chuckled, “I love you.”

Janis giggled, “Love you too.”

“How about some hot cocoa?”

Janis gasped, “Oooh. Yes, please!”

“Alrighty, let’s go make some. Then we can watch some more TV.”

Which alternate reality of the X-Men did you like the most?

Good question!

I'm neutral on Age of Apocalypse, probably in part because of how much it's been reused. I should probably reread it. I also find Apocalypse himself to be a ridiculous villain - he's not really someone you can relate to at all, at least until House of X. Bringing him back/cloning him/replacing him/Apocalypse Twinsing got old for me really quickly, but it kept happening and will keep happening. It's worth mentioning for being the original alt X-Men setup that many of the others are named after, inspired by, or both. I love the alternate character trajectories in general for their own sakes as well as what they reveal about the 616 versions.

I did love Xavier revisiting it during Krakoa's infinity comics. Entirely character driven.

Age of X felt bleak and had a lot of mystery motivations that weren't that interesting, but was better than the sum of its parts. All the mutants together in a stronghold constantly fighting wasn't the most imaginative setting - it's not far from Utopia for instance. I like Legion, Mags and Scott a lot though so I enjoy it.

Lol, the irony of the FF arrested for protecting mutants

I love Age of X-Man conceptually but the execution and briefness made it feel undercooked. I think there's a lot of potential there that didn't get explored. Some wonderful moments, but everyone is brainwashed for 95% of it. The climax was over so quickly with not enough discussion for my liking. Still, Fred Dukes getting 6 years of growth out of it was lovely, and I'm disgusted that he's been tortured and reverted to misery plus made 4 times fatter. I really hope he gets out of Graymalkin and isn't regressed.

Some dishonourable mentions

- House of M can go fuck itself for so many reasons. We didn't even get to see all that much of it before it was torn down along with Wanda's character and 99% of mutants. The Academy X tie in was pretty fun though.

- Prodigy's supervillain nightmare doesn't really count but the concept has legs. IDK why they keep making mutants disaster presidents, but at least they committed with him and went full war crimes.

- Most What Ifs can fuck right off too. Phoenix, Logan, and Magneto continually remixed in samey ways. Boring! President Cyclops with nothing to say? Snooze. Killing Emma repeatedly? That's just mean.

- The original Ultimate Universe. 👎👎 Genocidal lunatic Magneto has been done - turning it up to eleven just didn't have anything to say. Cynical, edgy for edginess' sake, and it's all a joke in the end. It wouldn't bloody stay contained either, with unoriginal bozos like Jimmy Hudson migrating to 616 and heavily influencing the movies. I'll stop there.

- Age of Revelation. We have only seen glimpses of it so far, but Doug as Apocalypse? Boooring. I hope I'm wrong, because the concept of the golden idiot has so much potential.. Him deciding to kill everyone is unimaginative. I know including it is curmudgeonly cheating, but I see you Marvel and I know your ways.

This one has actually started being explored and Ultimate X-Men (2024) itself is moving slowly, but Earth 6160's mutant situation is as interesting as the rest of the universe. Very! Maybe it's recency bias and faith in the quality of the project so far, but Earth 6160 is the answer my heart gives. Everything is turned on its head, designed intentionally by the Maker to be his version of a perfect society.

Sentinels have existed at one point, but the Maker went with a different strategy - forced relocation and reservation. These are genocidal tactics but it doesn't seem to be his goal at all. The Rasputins and Sunfire rule over territories with most of the world's mutants in them (The Eurasian Republic and The Land of Fire/Hi No Kuni respectively) and they are on the Illuminati council. We've seen the characters themselves remixed and reimagined a lot, but changing their environment on the geopolitical level avoids a homogeneous approach. Storm is a freedom fighter in Africa, the X-Men are Japanese schoolgirls tangling with a teenage Shadow King Logan is the Winter Soldier, and plenty of more well known X-Men are on either side of an insurrection.

All (most?) of the other alt universes are alt Americas, either explicitly or implicitly. Changing that alone would interest me, but the thoughtful bottom up design of 6160 just works. There's nothing even approaching mutant culture that we've seen and the Eurasian resistance is made up of anti authoritarians of all stripes opposing the Rasputins because they're tyrants - not because they're mutants. There's reactionary mutantphobia in Ultimate X-Men, but it's in response to a spooky mutant cult sacrificing people etc.

Mutants are just people, for the most part - viewed the same as anyone else with superpowers. The mutant metaphor is there, but it's not so ham-handed with mobs and pitchforks etc. The public doesn't understand mutants because their existence has been mostly suppressed, so in a very radical way the mutant paradigm has been rebuilt without the decades of endless escalation of 616.

That's my favourite.

Hi friend! Idk if you still want to do this or not but I would LOVE age regressor content for Erik Lehnsherr from X-Men (like, him as the regressor) and/or age regressor Charles Xavier

No pressure but just wanted to ask bc I saw your post!

Hullo hullo, now, I have barely any thoughts in regards to regressor Erik and Charles but I shall try and suffice!

Headcanon: Little! Erik is often nonverbal and can commonly be found hiding behind Charles.

Erik knew he regressed, after what he had been through it was obvious his mind decided to revert him mentally to an age filled with love, care, and safety. However, he was never able to indulge in his headspace due to his constant movement of hunting down the scientists who hurt him and millions of others. That was until he met Charles Xavier, the first ever mutant he encountered and learnt he wasn't the only one with a mutation. It was the first time he had felt love, care, and safety, all positive triggers to his regressions.

The first time he regressed with Charles, he remained silent, following the man around without much purpose other than to stay with him for protection. It didn't matter what the telepath was working on, he persisted in staying by his side, staying silent through the questioning and concerned looks directed his way by Charles.

"Erik? Are you quite alright?" Were the first words spoken by Charles when he regressed for the first time in his presence. Erik always remembered his first encounters with people, always preferring Charles' compared to others. Despite his lack of words and sudden clingy nature, Charles chalked it up to a particularly bad day where memories plagued the metal-bender's mind and the man wanted nothing more than comfort. "I see.. well, stay as you would like, I don't mind the company."

And then, it happened several times after that, with Erik finding Charles and clinging to his side despite the weird looks from the other members of the mansion. Charles had grown used to the behaviour, continuing with whatever activities he was doing, whether it was a light bit of reading, a particularly challenging puzzle, or simply working on paper-work for a reason Erik still doesn't quite grasp. "Hm... imagine you want to tell someone how many books you've listened to me read you, so you write it all down. Well, that's what I'm doing except with more boring things like a house and car. We use special papers to keep track of things so nobody forgets and everyone knows what's happening. Oh, you still don't understand, do you?"

Once Erik accidentally knocked over a vase and Raven had teased him that Charles wouldn't be happy with him and he would no longer be Charles' favourite anymore. He had held back tears as he listened to her words, unable to differentiate the difference between a joke and seriousness. He had gone and hid himself somewhere in the mansion, somewhere Charles wouldn't normally look as to avoid a scolding. It didn't matter though, Charles found him and frowned until he learnt that Raven had teased him about the broken vase. Erik would never admit it but he had leapt into Charles' arms when the telepath had confirmed he was still his favourite.

yes, hello once more. I’m here to request more Phantom calling Papa “Daddy” but in the regressed way. I’m sad on main and think Copia giving Phantom some love would cure me 😔✊🏽

Hi my friend, I’m sorry you feeling sad, I hope this helps. sorry it’s short I hope you like it anyway.

cw: age regression, regressed ghouls .

Copia woke up to a heavy weight on his hips and something poking at his cheek. He lets out a groan, screwing up his face and someone above him giggles at him. He opens his eyes, squinting a little and is met with Phantom peering down at him, gently poking a claw into his cheek. It was still early, the sun only just coming and casting a dull light throughout the room. 

“Hi, daddy.” He beams down at the older man. 

Copia blinks at him, to clear the sleep from his brain.  “Hi, babybug.” He rubs his hands down Phantom’s bare thighs that are bracketing his hips. “What are you doing in my room so early?”

Phantom bits his lips and looks around, his ears dripping slightly from nervousness.  “I-uh, everyone is still asleep.” 

It’s not really and explanation but Copia still understands what he means. 

“Oh, and you thought waking me up was okay, but none of the other ghouls?” He smiles at him and digs his fingers into Phantom’s ribs tickling him so he knows he’s joking. 

Phantom squeals and wiggles where he’s sat on him, sitting up fully. Copia notices a pacifier clips to his sleep shirt and the bat plushie that was stuffed into the top of his shirt, the head peaking out through the neck hole. “Ah, you brought a friend with you.” He taps the bats nose. 

Phantom gives him a nod, his hands coming up to rub at the bats ears. 

“We wanted you, daddy. Not any of the other ghouls.” He says it like it’s obvious. 

“Ah, right okay. I’m sorry for misunderstanding.” Copia gives him a nod. “and what did the two of you want from me? Breakfast? Cuddles?” 

Phantom tilts his head to the side with a hum, pretending to think. His tail wraps around Copia’s ankle and he smile down at him again. “Cuddles please?” 

Copia shuffled up a bit and pats the space beside him.  “Just enough room for two baby bats.” 

Phantom giggles.  “I’m a baby bat.” He flops down, burying his face in the pillow. “Hmm, smells nice, daddy.” 

“Oh yeah, what does it smell like?” Copia brushes the stray hairs from Phantom’s eyes so he can see properly. 

Phantom rubs his cheek along the pillow.   “Smells like you daddy.” 

“Awhh, you are cutie, aren’t you?” Copia ruffles his hair. “Do you want to go back to sleep, or do you just want some cuddles.” 

“Can I have both, please?” Phantom looks up at him with big puppy eyes. 

Copia hums, looking around like he’s pretending to think. Phantom gasps, grasping his arm and somehow gives him even bigger puppy eyes.  “Please, daddy! Please?” 

Copia opens his arms and pulls the ghoul into him so his head is resting against his chest.  “Of course, babybat. How could I say no to you?” 

Phantom gives him a cuff, rubbing his chest against his chest.  “Thank you, daddy.” 

Copia runs his fingers though Phantom’s hair before moving to his velvety ears and rubs along the length of them. A purr rumbles though Phantom’s chest as he does, it’s so loud Copia can feel it vibrating though him.  “That feel good, baby?” 

Phantom gives him a him in between purrs, loosing the fight on keeping his eyes open. Copia grabs the pacifier that’s attached to his shirt and taps the rubber against his lips gently. “You want this, baby?” 

Phantom opens his mouth to allow Copia to push the pacifier into his mouth. He hums again around the rubber, happily sucking on it. It doesn’t take long for him to fall asleep after that that, his head resting on Copias chest letting the sound of his heartbeat lull him back to sleep. Copia isn’t far behind him, drifting off the the sound of Phantom's purrs while he continues to rub at his ear. 

[a-bad-case-of-the-stephs]

Hey, I was wondering your thoughts on the theory Stephanie is currently going through a negative character arc in main continuity comics? You make very interesting analysis of Stephanie’s character and I thought this theory might interest you.

Ohhh this is so so interesting as a concept thank you sm for bringing it to my attention!!

Quick disclaimer: I’m probably not the best person to answer this. It’s been a while since I read Tynions Rebirth run and I’m probably missing so many things in this post. As always I’m more familiar w post crisis than new52 onwards so if I’m missing some stuff feel free to let me know!!

That being said, I can absolutely see where this idea might come from.

Especially given how Steph’s most recent ongoing is Batgirls (2022), I totally get that. To me, Steph’s portrayal in Batgirls was absolutely a regression in her character.

Both Cass and Steph are portrayed as significantly younger and less mature than their current development should account for (along with a laundry list of small inconsistencies which Batgirls indulges in with absolutely no compunctions)

However I’m also hesitant to use Batgirls as an example, given that Steph’s portrayal in Batgirls isn’t really as much a Stephanie Brown problem per se as it is a Batgirls 2022 problem. As mentioned, Batgirls does this to Cass as well as Steph.

My hope is that the trajectory of Steph’s character will stray from her rendition in Batgirls, much like how Cass is currently getting a (so far) pretty fantastic and heartfelt/serious portrayal in Batgirl 2024. But it’s kinda hard to say for now.

I would garner that it might be a bit harder for Steph to bounce back from her Batgirls regression, given that Batgirls kind of builds off of the bubbly/quirky/optimistic/silly personality that gets established w BQM’s Batgirl 2009, which is Steph’s only solo series and therefore something more engrained/easier to fall back on. (I do have rose tinted glasses when it comes to bg2009 and I will defend it for the record. I like Steph’s characterization in Bg2009. Steph has always been silly at times. We see her use jokes to deflect from heavy situations/alleviate her insecurities super often in Robin 93. The issue is when these are the only aspects of her character which are transferred over, or when she is almost aged down maturity wise like she is in Batgirls 2022, which I don’t think happens in bg2009.)

Additionally, the reboot reset a lot for Steph. It did for a lot of characters, given it was a reboot. For instance we have to see Nightwing move to Blüdhaven again for the ‘first’ time all over again. However this gets especially messy when it comes to characters like Steph and Cass whose histories were completely erased w the New 52.

Characters like Steph and Cass suddenly have no canonical history, for Steph, that’s like two decades of history just erased.

So, when Steph is reintroduced, we get her biggest hits played again. To preserve her character to transfer her over, we have to see her try to ‘spoil’ Cluemasters crimes again for the ‘first’ time, we see her adopt the corresponding ‘Spoiler’ mantle for the ‘first’ time, and in Rebirth, she gets together with and dates Tim Drake for the ‘first’ time. We even have a sort of Steph rebelling against Batman, (despite how this plays out very differently than their post crisis disagreements).

That’s inherently a kind of regression, though obviously not entirely unique to Steph, and since then a lot of Stephanies original history has also since been restored.

However some parts of Steph’s character seem to be stuck on replay, even now.

For instance, the refusal to let Cluemaster leave Steph’s life.

Arthur Brown has shown up in pretty much every book Steph has starred in since (and including) Bg2009 as an antagonist.

While the portrayals vary in effectiveness, the general trend to me this indicates that Steph is being pushed back to her literal roots as a hero again and again, instead of letting her square up against someone new. It’s not like inherently bad to have Steph fight her dad, but there’s only so many times I can see it before it feels like we’re treading the same water and that Steph’s character is a little stuck.

In conclusion?

Hard for me to say Steph is having a negative character arc given she’s hardly had a chance to have an arc (at least not recently).

Batgirls regressed her character, and she was generally regressed early in her reintroduction in the wake of the new52 through how she went through many of her past character beats. Currently, I’m hoping that Steph will have a chance to grow more from her post crisis characterization and largely disregard the worse parts of her Batgirls characterization much like Cass has as of late.

Anyway, thank you again for the ask! Would love to hear other people’s thoughts on this because I’m worried I’ve missed something stupid obvious. If anyone has heard more abt this theory and would like to elaborate I would love to hear it!!

[stevethevehicon22]

Alright, back with post number two in my series of criticisms before I leave the TSBS fandom for good. Afore those who haven't read the first one, go back and read it or you'll be heavily confused.

Now, I want to continue elaborating on my complaints I had about Ruin. Now someone I had a discussion with on Discord said that Ruin has a role within the story and that I should be happy with what I get, there was more to that discussion but I'm not gonna get into it here, and I'm not gonna throw shade at that person and say that they're wrong, all I will say is that my point is that he SHOULDN'T have a role in the story, he shouldn't be alive right Now, did people forget that he literally committed genocide? He has a higher kill count than certain historical figures who were terrible people, and that should not have a place in a channel that is watched by a majority of minors. Now, Davis and Reed have claimed many times on social media that TSAMS is not a kids show, and I agree, there is some very dark subject matter in there, but does that stop the fan base of being comprised of a majority of kids? No, it doesn't.

And I know kids can be intelligent and understand dark storylines and subjects in media, I mean, look at Adventure, the intro of the show will have one think that it's just a colorful little kids show, same as the dozens and dozens that are already out there, but if you actually watch it, there are scenes that will make even adults say "Oh, what the fuck?", my point? Kids can handle and understand the message of dark moments in media.

But I don't like the message that's being sent with Ruin being able to live and be a pivotal part in the EAPS plot, what he did was unforgivable, we wouldn't and shouldn't forgive horrible shit like that in really life, why do we forgive it in these shows?

Old Moon has not changed at all, it's not happening as much anymore, but we've seen him regress back to his old ways in the earlier episodes after he came back, where he'd yell at Sun, do things without his knowledge or consulting him, just be an outright horrible person, what was the point in having him sacrifice himself so KC could live, if there was going to be zero character development? "Oh, but he's trying", tell me this, Moon fans, if we can say that Eclipse manipulated Lunar back in the early days of the show, why can't we say that Moon is manipulating Sun to work his way back into his life? Name ONE significant thing he's done ever since being brought back, please, I'm begging you.

And this is coming from a former Moon fan, I liked his personality before he started doing all those horrible things, I think Reed is very good at portraying mischievous characters, he Is, but the writing makes them so unlikable.

This next point is going to be controversial, and really I don't care, I think it needs to be said. The voice actors inject too much of their personal politics into the show, Now, I know in this day and age ALL MEDIA is political, Transformers, which is a franchise I fucking love is very political, but the thing Is, they actually do a good job at portraying how much of a terrible thing slavery Is, I can actually sympathize with some of the Decepticons who believed in their cause, but also acknowledge that their actions that resulted in the deaths of millions was wrong.

Can someone please tell me what the point of making jokes about "rElIgiOn StUpId" "CoNsErVaTiVeS bAd" Is? What message does that send? What does that do to further socialism? Please explain that to me.

Now, I am center-right leaning, but I am also open minded, I believe that the LGBTQ community does not affect me personally, they do their thing, I do mine, you have the right to love whoever you want, you have the right to identify as whatever you want, but everyone deserves respect, even those you disagree with.

My point in this side tangent? Use your beliefs in a way that actually makes a difference. We can all have our differences and interact in a civilized manner.

And before I get people calling me a "Trumper", one, I'm not American, and two, I don't support Trump or JD Vance, using your beliefs to spread hate is atrocious.

Moving away from politics, the last thing I want to talk about is the favoritism towards Lunar. He is a pathological liar, I know, how could I ever say anything like that? Because it's true. He literally admitted that the story about Eclipse hitting him more than once and strangling him was a load of horse shit. Those lies resulted in Eclipse being hunted down like a damn animal and murdered, multiple times, and Lunar gets to waltz around with near God-like powers while Eclipse is still being blamed for the actions for someone he was fucking cloned from.

Did Eclipse manipulate Lunar? Yes, was it wrong? Yes, did he slap him? Yes.

But why is it that Lunar gets to walk free of guilt while Eclipse fans have to be reminded of their favourite character's past transgressions every five minutes?

Favouritism from the writers. Plain and simple.

Here’s the person that made the request of trauma regressor Sally Williams and Caregiver Ben Drowned, from creepypastas. So, I want a moodboard with teddy bears, videogames, playgrounds, and maybe ponds. And with a side-order of headcanons, please and thank you very much!

Alright, here you go! (Note: I couldnt find very many pond images, so apologies for the lack of that)

🧸Regresor!Sally Williams and Caregiver!BEN Drowned Headcanons.

⚠️TW! Implied past SA, Mentioned abuse, Mentioned death, Mentioned drowning. If it has 🍼 Before it, then it has no TW and is 100% safe.

🎮 Sally Williams is a trauma regressor, and started regressing while she was being abused by her uncle. She didn't know what age regression was, and she wouldn't for a while. She would regress around bedtime, usually between the ages of 2-4. Sally didn't really question it too much, as it helped her cope with what her Uncle was doing to her. So all she knew was that sometimes she felt small again.

🧸After her death, she had continued regressing, despite her uncle no longer being able to hurt her. She still didn't question it, but then she met the other Creepypastas.

🎮🍼Going with the Slender mansion concept, one day BEN had found her, crying in the woods. He had been sent out by Slenderman to find Toby, who had managed to get lost. He, of course, felt bad for the little girl and decided to confront her.

🧸Upon approaching her, he noticed her... Injuries. Or, past injuries. He realized that she was a spirit, obviously having been killed in some way. He spoke hesitantly to her, trying to comfort her and help her. BEN was never the best at comforting. But, hr was good at jokes and making people laugh.

🎮🍼So, that's exactly what he did. First he introduced himself, allowing the little girl to introduce herself afterwards. Then, he tried everything he could to get a laugh and at the very least a grin from her. Luckily, it worked! His silly faces and cheesy puns had succeeded, and Sally was laughing her tears away.

🧸🍼BEN brought Sally back to the mansion (forgetting to find Toby) and the two were inseperateable. There was not a thing in the world you could do to seperate the two; they were best buds, friends forever.

🎮🍼So of course BEN noticed Sally's regression. Sally was a little scared that BEN would think that she's weird or icky for it, but like the best pal he is, he didn't! He didn't really know what it was, either, but it seemed harmless and simple enough. Plus, it wasn't like it happened all the time.

🧸🍼From then on out, BEN became Sally's caregiver!

🎮🍼Sally liked playing with toys and pretend, and whereas that was definitely not BEN's thing, he still played whatever Sally wanted to play. Fairy princesses? He was a fairy. Tea parties? Pass him the sugar, please. House? He can be the mommy, daddy, baby, parent, child, pet, aunt-

... You get the point.

🧸🍼Sally, despite not being the biggest fan of video games, loved sitting on BEN's lap while he played. He'd fill up her sippy cup with apple juice, get her some goldfish, and put a blanket over the two of them while he games.

🎮Sally really likes playing outside! She likes going to ponds and seeing if there are any duckies, and putting her feet in the water. BEN doesn't like ponds, due to him having drowned, but will take her there anyway. He just makes sure to keep a distance, far enough from the water that he won't get panicky but close enough that he can still see Sally.

🧸He understands that Sally doesn't often like touch when she remembers her uncle, and so whenever she gets sad or has panic attacks related to her death and uncle's abuse, he makes sure to keep it to words of comfort and affection, making sure to be there and keep her comfortable and feeling safe.

🎮Sally likes using pacifiers and sippy cups, but not bottles and diapers. She's considered trying pull ups, but she's a little scared to. She doesn't like having anyone near her when she doesn't have her clothes on, and even though BEN has gotten close enough to her that she feels okay having help getting dressed (only outer clothes, he turns around when she's getting her undergarments on), and washing her hair (not washing her body), it's still scary.

🧸Overall, Sally's a pretty good kiddo and BEN makes for a great CG for her!

🧸🎮🩷

cg Thanos and regressor nam-gyu?

Regressor! Nam-gyu w/ Caregiver! Thanos

Summary: All day, Nam-gyu had just been very, very sleepy, meaning Thanos has a pretty easy time getting him to bed.

Contains: Age regression, spoon feeding, bottles, thumb sucking, bottle feeding, pacifiers.

A/N: Sleepy baby regressor Nam-gyu my beloved </3.

Not proofread.

Nam-gyu had been super sleepy all day. He had woken up regressed, he had breakfast, went down for his first nap, ate lunch, took his second nap, cuddled with Thanos which ultimately led to him taking his third nap of the day, and was now being fed dinner by Thanos, since he was too tired to feed himself. That’s how his entire day had gone. Thanos had no clue why Nam-gyu was so exhausted, but he was glad that he was at least able to get a bunch of rest today, since he clearly needed it.

For dinner, Thanos decided to make Nam-gyu some soup, as that was one of his favorite foods when tiny. While Thanos fed him, Nam-gyu kept yawning and tiredly whining all while rubbing his eyes with his fists. Thanos was trying to keep Nam-gyu awake so he could eat his dinner, but it was definitely easier said than done. Nam-gyu looked as if he could fall asleep any second.

“Come on, sleepyhead. Just a few more bites, that’s all.” Thanos said while holding a spoon up to Nam-gyu’s mouth. Slowly, Nam-gyu opened his mouth and let Thanos feed him another bite. “Good boy.” Thanos smiled at him. He got another spoonful of soup and held it up to Nam-gyu’s lips. It took him a second, but he did sleepily open his mouth again.

After a while, Nam-gyu was able to finish up his dinner, so Thanos went to go put the bowl and spoon in the sink. Once he did that, he grabbed a bottle he’d already made from the fridge and put it in the microwave. Thanos wasn’t sure if Nam-gyu would even be able to stay awake to have his bottle, but he decided to just heat it up anyway, since he’d probably drink at least a little bit of it.

While Thanos waited for the bottle to finish warming up, he could hear Nam-gyu begin to softly fuss. Thanos turned to him, causing Nam-gyu to lazily put his arms out for him, wanting to be picked up and held.

“Oh, my sleepy little baby.” Thanos teased as he walked over to him. “Come here, baby boy.” Thanos lifted Nam-gyu up and held him, which quieted down Nam-gyu’s fussing. Nam-gyu laid his head down on Thanos’ shoulder and let his arms dangle down, too tired to actually cling to Thanos like he usually did.

Thanos smiled, lightly patting Nam-gyu on the back as he went to retrieve the bottle. While Thanos was checking the temperature of the bottle and putting the lid back on it, Nam-gyu lazily lifted his arm up and put his hand by his mouth so he could suck on his thumb. He started to become a little fussy again, and just let out the smallest whines while also making quiet sucking noises on his thumb.

“You’re such a baby, Nam-gyu. Just a teeny, tiny little guy.” Thanos joked, getting absolutely no response from Nam-gyu. He probably didn’t even register what Thanos had said, he was too sleepy and little to pay attention to anything. Thanos chuckled softly and began to carry Nam-gyu to the bedroom.

Once the two arrived, Thanos sat down on the bed with Nam-gyu and cradled him in his arms, so he could feed him his bottle. Thanos knew that there was no way Nam-gyu was going to feed himself, he was way too tired to do so. Thanos grabbed Nam-gyu’s wrist and gently pulled it away from his mouth, making Nam-gyu’s fussing increase. However, that was quickly stopped once he was given his bottle.

“Is your bottle yummy?” Thanos questioned, but of course didn’t get an answer. He smiled while watching Nam-gyu, whose eyes were closed and had just a tiny bit of milk running down his chin, to which Thanos used his sleeve to wipe it off for him.

Thanos continued to feed Nam-gyu his bottle for a few minutes, before the shorter male eventually fell asleep. He finished almost half of the bottle, which was more than Thanos expected. He honestly thought Nam-gyu would only have a couple sips before he’d fall asleep.

Slowly, Thanos took the bottle out of his mouth and set it on the nightstand. He grabbed the pacifier that was clipped onto Nam-gyu’s shirt and put it in his mouth, since he always had a difficult time sleeping without the item. Thanos decided to just lay down with Nam-gyu, who was fast asleep on top of him.

With the room silent and completely pitch black, Thanos closed his eyes while keeping his hand on Nam-gyu’s back, slowly rubbing it up and down. He only stopped doing so when he too had fallen into a peaceful sleep.

Ouma Kokichi as a Vent Regressor

CW: canon typical horror (character death, the killing game, gore, etc.), vent regression/regression from trauma, repression, anxiety, trust issues

Wrote this because I've never seen Kokichi agere content in the actual context of the killing game, which is fair, but it was a concept I actually wanted to think about just for myself. Mentions of Amami Rantaro as a big brother-esque caregiver before his death.

Ouma Kokichi has never been one to allow himself to be vulnerable in front of just anybody, and that goes doubly for his regression. He doesn’t understand exactly what it is, so he doesn't have an exact age range, but he knows he’s not at 100% when it happens and that’s cause for concern. It’s hard to play the part of the Ultimate Supreme Leader of Evil when your head is foggy and you feel so small and your lies get worse and controlling your emotions gets harder.

In a place as dark and scary as the killing game, though, there’s nothing Kokichi can do to prevent the headspace from bubbling up along with all the despair and anguish he’s forced to experience as things continue to escalate. So, if he can’t hide this vulnerability away, the only solution he has is to bury it with more and more lies to obscure it from everyone in plain sight.

Thankfully, it’s easy to hide even the worst lie when you’re already known to be a liar. Kokichi swings hard in the direction of acting like a child, even when he’s not regressed, so everyone just sees him as childish in general. He pokes fun at others, plays practical jokes, breaks out the waterworks at every opportunity, he doesn’t take the game seriously at all, all to both cope with the situation and blur the line between his big self and his regressed self so none will be the wiser.

This becomes a bit of a double-edged sword, as throwing himself into the spoiled brat schtick only makes it easier for the haze of regression to roll in, especially when Monokuma first establishes the First Blood motive and time limit and things start to get serious. He does his best to scrounge up what clues about the killing game he can, but any time he’s forced to interact with one of his classmates and he has to turn up the kiddie act, the danger of potentially triggering himself looms in the back of his mind.

It’s dear Amami-kun, sharp as a tack and ever vigilant around his peers, who picks up on Kokichi’s behavior first.

Out of all of his classmates, Amami-kun was most partial to Kokichi for how his lies always twist the group towards the greater good at his own expense. He’s seen how serious Kokichi can be when he called Akamatsu-chan out at the Death Road of Despair when no one else would. It puzzles and intrigues him as to why he’d insist on acting so childish the rest of the time.

Amami-kun begins to notice how Kokichi’s behavior fluctuates, the thematic differences from his obnoxious kiddie act overshadowing the more genuine flashes of a frightened child looking for comfort and distraction. He may not remember much about himself, but he does still remember his sisters, how the younger ones acted when afraid or stressed out. It doesn’t take him long to put the pieces together.

None of Kokichi’s other classmates would play along with his antics quite like Amami-kun did. Akamatsu-chan and that sheepish detective that follows her around found him annoying at best and outright malicious at worst, and since she’d become the de-facto driving force of the group, most everyone was quick to follow suit.

Amami-kun, however, rolled with Kokichi’s energy pretty well. When Kokichi had the mental fortitude to be serious, Amami-kun was clever enough to brainstorm with, even if he kept a lot of his insight a little on the vague side. When he couldn’t be bothered and broke out the childish antics, he smoothly played along with his games like a cool older brother, and for once it made the fuzzy fog that would roll into Kokichi’s head feel safe and warm. It was the most comfort he’d felt since they’d all arrived at the Academy.

It’s a shame it couldn’t last.

Kokichi’s head was already spinning from the time limit video blaring in his room when the body discovery announcement suddenly played, directing everyone to the library. It was too much, too fast, and the whiplash from one anxiety to another had already put him in a daze when he rushed out of his room.

He had never plummeted so hard and so fast as the moment he saw Amami-kun’s body on the floor of the library, blood spattered across the bookcase and pooling across the carpet from the gaping wound in his head. He couldn’t stop staring, couldn’t hear anything anyone else was saying. He could feel the tears already coming, but the oppressive presence of everyone else in the room choked him up in spiraling thoughts of not safe, not safe, not safe.

Amami-kun was dead.

Everyone who remained hated him.

There was no one left to trust.

Immediately, Kokichi threw himself into theatrics to hide himself in another lie.

If people like it, I might consider continuing this journey through the other parts of the game with agere tones. Let me know if you'd be interested!

Summer 🌞

I completed the Adopt Summer Challenge by @powersocial! I played throughout her entire childhood from infancy to the point when she aged up to a YA. She was raised by mothers Kiara Gupta and Emily Tran (seen here) in San Sequoia. She was their only child, so she didn't grow up with any siblings.

This is how she turned out!

Traits: Animal Enthusiast, Goofball, Adventurous

Aspiration: Friend of the Animals

Bonus Traits: Top Notch Infant, Happy Toddler, Good Manners, Responsible, Mediator

Summer is a very happy-go-lucky girl who loves being silly and having fun. She's very gregarious and energetic. Jokes and pranks are her absolute favorite, and she totally knows how to liven up the atmosphere. On top of that, Summer is an animal enthusiast and loves any and all creatures (especially her childhood best friend Cooper, who she's holding). She's aspiring to become a veterinarian so she can help and interact with all sorts of animals.

Infancy

Summer (of course) had the sunny trait and developed the Frequently Sneezes, Snuggly Sleeper, and the Picky Eater infant quirks. Being a snuggly sleeper kept her poor parents up at night because she would ONLY sleep soundly if they were actively holding her (which was hard when they themselves were tired!). Summer would only fall asleep in the crib if she was especially tired. Otherwise she hardly ever fell asleep on her own, even with soothing.

Her parents prioritized tummy time and play, and she was just shy of beginning to crawl by the time she aged-up.

Summer was also a picky eater, not liking baby food too much, but her moms cracked the code when they discovered Summer LOVED pumpkin puree and oatmeal cereal. It was because of those two foods that they were able to wean her!

Toddlerhood

Summer ended up getting the Angelic trait, which was a HUGE relief after a somewhat challenging infancy. Summer was super easy-going and was never defiant and was never angry. Not even a single temper tantrum came out of toddler Summer. I swear it was a miracle for Kiara and Emily.

Her toddler quirks were Early Riser, Little Singer, and Picky Eater (yes, again). Summer began adapting to a schedule from an early age and always awoke when her parents did! She also loved entertaining her parents with her cute little singing, though her picky eater quirk continued and struggled to eat at times, but her parents found that she would take yogurt just fine and wouldn't get the sad "yucky" moodlet, so once again Kiara and Emily cracked the code!

Kiara and Emily prioritized skill-building with Summer and got all 5 skills (including potty) to at least level 3 (she managed to reach level 4 with Movement and Thinking!)

Childhood

Summer developed her love for animals when she became a child, earning the animal enthusiast as her first trait. With Summer now being more independent, Kiara and Emily quickly grew bored with their extra time and decided to adopt a puppy: Cooper! Not only was this to satisfy Summer's yearn for animals, but also to keep Kiara and Emily busy without caring for a whole different child (infancy and toddlerhood were a lot of work for them!)

Summer also developed her love for jokes and pranks during childhood. She was a mischief master and always made time to prank her parents 🤭 Summer also befriended Nanami Ito during this time!

But of course, her picky eater quirk had to continue because she ended up getting picky eater as her childhood phase! She regressed from eating full meals and resorted to quick meals for a little while, but thankfully this phase ended shortly before she aged up.

Teen Years

Summer developed the goofball trait here. Despite being a teen Summer grew up to being a very responsible and rule-abiding girl. She always went to bed on time, always did her homework, and always made time for silliness and fun. The teenager years are never perfect though, and her teen childhood phase was Mean Streak. During this time Summer got extra angry and became harsh with her pranks to the point that it irritated her parents. Thankfully though this phase was pretty short-lived and didn't autonomously act mean to others very often.

Her friendship with Nanami Ito continued through her teen years and she gained another friend: Sofia Bjergsen.

Young Adulthood

Finally, Summer developed the adventurous trait for her final trait. Now, she wants to discover all sorts of fun experiences! In the end, she had sufficient character values to receive the Responsible, Mediator, and Good Manners traits, which fulfilled Kiara's aspiration to be a Super Parent. Summer also graduated with honors!

Overall Summer lived a very happy childhood (her parents were VERY dedicated to her which is also partially why they chose not to have more children; they wanted to focus all their attention on her and her development). She became a happy person as a result!

Thank you @powersocial for allowing us to raise Summer 💖 It was so much fun!!
