Hi hi! I just wanted to say I love your blog and writing! Your au with them all living together is literally in my head so much! I was just wondering if you could write a little Shauna? Like she’s already having a bad day. And she’s trying not to regress because the only people caregiver mind set are her,tai,van and Laura Lee and Shauna doesn’t want to add more stress.

But she gets overwhelmed and accidentally drops something and breaks it and she can’t help but cry and gets upset at herself angrily mumbling as she tries and cleans it up without anyone seeing her slip. But tai and van find her? Please and no pressure!

Little!Shauna - Don’t cry over spilt Juice

Notes -> little!shauna, cg!taivan, little!mel, little!jackie, post-rescue au ‘safe and sound’, crying, regression denial

Word count: 868

Shauna didn’t need help. Not like Jackie and her shoelaces, or Melissa with hair. She could do everything by herself. Most of the time. Seemingly not today, when she’d spilt her milk making her cereal and struggled with buttoning her flannel by herself. There was something wrong with the connection between her brain and her hands today. Like, she knew how to do everything but her movements kept coming out sloppy and babyish. It only got worse the more frustrated she got.

Usually, when things felt overwhelming like this, Shauna would just go and suck up to Jackie. She wouldn’t even need to ask Jackie to help her, Jackie would just do it. If Shauna got put in the calm down corner, she’d go to Jackie. If Shauna tripped and grazed her knee, she’d go to Jackie. But Jackie wasn’t an option today. It wouldn’t be fair to go to Jackie, she’d been having a really hard time lately and was small herself. Last time Shauna had seen Jackie, Lottie had been carrying her upstairs for a lay down because she’d cried over too-soggy breakfast cereal. So Shauna had to be big. She had to do things by herself, and right now, that meant pouring juice for Mel.

Tai and Van were busy mediating a game between Mari and Gen, Laura Lee was outside supervising Misty in the garden. So of course Melissa had come to Shauna asking for a glass of juice. Because you weren’t supposed to mess around in the kitchen when you were little and Shauna very much Was Not Little. So she had to pour the juice, which was fine.

Except it wasn’t.

The smallest slip of Shauna’s hand sent the glass clattering to the ground. Fuck. It shattered immediately, shards spreading across the floor in the soft yellow apple juice that was soaking into Shauna’s socks. Her breath haltered momentarily, starting again in shock when she saw Melissa poking her head into the kitchen. “Shaunie ‘Kay?” She asked around her thumb, so small it made Shauna’s chest clamp in jealousy.

“I’m fine.” She snapped, shoulders defensively hunching. She could feel the tears in her eyes, teasing her for how stupid she’d been. Melissa couldn’t see that, so Shauna turned her back to her and tightened her fingers around the edge of the bench until her knuckles turned white “Just stay the fuck out of the kitchen while I clean this up.”

Melissa retreated quickly, knowing better than to cross Shauna while she was upset. Shauna took to cleaning up the juice and glass, which she could do perfectly fine because she was a big girl. “Stupid, stupid juice,” she grumbled under her breath. She nicked her finger on a little shard of glass, which sent a fresh wave of tears through her eyes and a dribble of blood onto her hand. There was a shuffling towards the entry to the kitchen and Shauna shot her head up, ready to send Melissa away with much harsher words than before. Instead of a sheepish blonde in a stupid hat, Shauna was met with Tai and Van who looked equal parts concerned and confused.

“Shauna, are you alright?” Tai asked gently, walking around the breakfast bench so she could see the mess a bit more clearly. “Mel said there was a broken glass.” Shauna huffed, stupid traitor. She did not need Tai’s help. Tai knelt in front of Shauna, which instantly made her feel so small. Her head felt fuzzier than before and she had to bring her hand up to rub her eyes so they’d refocus. Blood smeared across her face and Tai instantly sucked in a shocked breath. “Oh baby.”

This broke Shauna. The previously refined tears dissolved into ragged sobs as she leant into Tai desperately. “I’ve got you,” she cooed, gently maneuvering Shauna away from the glass and into her lap. Shauna buried her face in Tai’s shoulder and sobbed until Van gently guided her face out of hiding.

“Why don’t you pick out a Band-Aid while I clean up your finger, hm?” Van cooed, placing the Band-Aid box next to Shauna and letting her use her non-injured hand to rifle through them. She was cleaned up quickly and her finger was wrapped in a blue Scooby-Doo Band-Aid. Once she was all bandaged up and the blood was cleared away, Van tidied up the rest of the glass and Shauna returned to being nestled in Tai’s arms. She didn’t feel the need to cry now, anyway, she felt too tired for that.

“Poor girl, how about a nap?” Tai hummed, rubbing Shauna’s back. Shauna nodded. She let herself be led upstairs and didn’t complain about being taken into Jackie’s room instead of her own. Jackie was curled up around Lottie in her bed, eyes dry but red from crying and Alice Bunny tucked up to her chest. “Someone’s feeling a little bit small,” Tai explained, urging Shauna to stop hiding behind her back. She didn’t argue Tai’s observation though, instead she quietly climbed into Jackie’s bed and burrowed herself up under the blankets.

Jackie squirmed a bit to pull Shauna closer to her and mumbled, “it’s ’Kay to be small here.”

★ request for 🧸🫀 anon! i’ve never really considered jackie as a caregiver before, but now you’ve opened my mind and i’m very glad for it. i hope you enjoy :)

☆ . . . do you like playing dress-up? jackie will happily play it with you, but she’ll do most of the dressing-up. you’re practically her little doll; she spends most of her money on cutesy clothes and accessories for you, making sure they are in your favourite colours. she will also apply light makeup to your face if you agree to it, and will expertly style your hair in fashionable ways. “my gorgeous baby,” she’ll coo at you once finished with her work. “can mommy take a picture?”

☆ . . . as most people close to her know, jackie is a wonderful motivator. if you’re feeling insecure about something or perhaps yourself, your mommy will always lend you her confidence. she’ll give you gentle pep talks over the phone if you’re not with her physically, and will even hide encouraging notes in your bag or around your home. her elegant handwriting may be difficult for your little mind to decipher, but you’ll always recognise the most common phrases: mommy loves you, i’m so proud of you, you are the best.

☆ . . . wherever jackie goes, you follow. well, she hopes that you do. she’s clingy and prefers it when you’re the same. “come with mommy to the mall?” she’ll ask you with wide, pleading eyes. “c’mon… you love the mall, honey. i’ll let you buy a toy. pinky promise!” jackie likes to drag you along to all of her soccer games, too. your delighted shouts from the bleachers, cheering her on, make your mommy feel incredibly powerful on the field.

☆ . . . when burnt out from her other obligations, your mommy can find it difficult to take care of you. she might deny play or accidentally raise her voice at you if you’re too fussy, but she will always try and help you understand what she’s going through. she’ll cuddle you tight and profusely apologise for “not being good enough”, to which she hopes you’ll sweetly respond with something along the lines of, “nuh-uh, you’re the best. ‘m proud. i love you, mommy.”

☆ . . . a caregiver jackie spoils you rotten. you rarely hear the word “no” from your mommy. when you do, all it takes is one small, pitiful sniffle to immediately make her relent. “ugh, fine!” she’ll sigh frustratingly. “but you have to promise to be good for mommy later, okay?” jackie tries so desperately to break her habit of giving into your desires so easily, but you’re just so freakin’ cute that it feels totally impossible for her!

☆ . . . your mommy frequently invites shauna to hang out with the two of you. shauna was a little unsure of you at first, but now she adores you just as much as jackie does. if you’re comfortable being regressed around her, shauna will take over caregiving duties if jackie needs rest. just don’t expect the same level of spoiling jackie gives; shauna isn’t that easy to persuade.

nature-kiddo ! shauna moodboard ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆

★ moodboard for an older-regressor shauna! i see her regressing between ages 8-12, but possibly younger if she’s been having a particular rough time :’)

some hcs below ♡

willy, nilly, silly, young bear

🌱 a big-kid regressor shauna loves to play outdoors! you can find her running throughout the garden, shooting goals between trees, and climbing branches with adventurous agility. after she’s exerted herself—releasing all negative energy from a hard day at school or work—you may find her nestled between some bush, preparing ‘potions’ for both herself and you.

🌳 when nobody else is around to play, shauna will take her stuffies outside so she isn’t alone. much like christopher robin, shauna will talk to and play with her soft companions. through her imaginative mind, they all come alive, participating with equal fervour.

☘️ our sweet girl unfortunately has a penchant for getting into scrapes. quite often when you’re attending to chores outside—like gardening or putting up laundry—you might hear a distant thud and then a following, heart-wrenching cry. shauna, despite her hurt, always finds comfort in getting bandaged up by you. your gentle care is always rewarded with cuddles or a mud-cake!

🦎 small animals that cross shauna’s path are destined to be chased and caught by her. when you kindly ask her to release her ‘pets’, shauna will put up a fuss and cry. investing in a pet rabbit or guinea pig could possibly remedy this behaviour. just be prepared for your chosen pet to be named something unconventional like “ralph” or “oscar”.

Is there anyway you can do a little Shauna fic? She has a bad day (in your all living together au) and she goes smaller then she normally does and she’s just a fussy and whiny baby cause she’s not used to be this small? No pressure! And if so thank you!

If Shauna let herself think about everything that had happened to her after the plane crashed, she’d probably say today wasn’t actually that bad. But Shauna wasn’t thinking about that. All Shauna could think about was the fact that she’d had a nightmare last night, Mari had pushed in front of her when she was trying to get breakfast and when Tai had said they could watch tv, no one had wanted to watch Scooby Doo. So now they were watching stupid my little pony because Misty had wanted to. How was it that everyone had preferred Misty’s show to hers? Shauna huffed, sliding down on the couch dramatically so everyone knew just how unimpressed she was. “You don’t have to watch it, Shau-na,” Mari prodded teasingly, glaring at Shauna from across the room. She, clearly, thought she was in the right after pushing in at breakfast time and it just made Shauna even madder.

“And you don’t have to be a bitch,” Shauna grumbled, standing up and stomping out of the room. She hadn’t wanted to watch dumb tv anyway, especially not with all of the others who were just stupid babies. Shauna stomped all the way up to her bedroom, making sure everyone - no matter where in the house they were - could hear just how frustrated she was. She dropped down onto her bed with the most dramatic sigh she could muster. It seemed to take out the last of her energy and moments later she was curled up under her covers, teary eyed with her thumb planted firmly between her lips. She felt small. Not the sort of small that made playing pirates with Melissa or racing Mari to the top of tree sound like the most fun in the world, but the sort of small that made her think about how much she wished Jackie would come upstairs and just hold her and wonder if Lottie wouldn’t mind sharing one of her bottles. Shauna didn’t like this sort of small. She felt stuck, almost helpless. She hated how much she craved to be cared for and coddled, because surely no one would want to do that for her. Shauna was mean, she was rough and she played to show it. No one would look at her - a little prickly around the edges and almost always scowling at something - and want to take care of the very gentle and small part of her that had made itself apparent today. It felt awful.

Shauna didn’t notice Jackie at first. She stood in the doorway, unsure whether her presence would help or hinder the younger girl. Though Jackie had certainly heard it, she hadn’t seen the events which led to Shauna being curled up in her bed sucking her thumb (something she rarely did). “Shauna,” She called out quietly, trying not to startle the younger girl. Shauna jolted at the intrusion, eyes blowing wide open as if Jackie had yelled her name. She moved to take her thumb away from her mouth but upon realising it was only Jackie, she kept it in. “Are you feeling alright baby?” Jackie asked gently, entering the room and sitting at the end of Shauna’s bed. Shauna just shrugged, watching Jackie closely from where she lay, curled up at the other end. She wanted to tell Jackie about how her head felt fuzzy and wrong and she really, really wanted a hug, but the words got all crowded in her head and all that ended up coming out was a soft, frustrated whine. Jackie frowned, placing a tentative hand on Shauna’s shin. “Small?” She offered as a suggestion. Shauna nodded, pressing her leg a little bit harder into Jackie’s touch. Jackie rubbed her thumb back and forth soothingly, a tiny slither of the comfort Shauna craved. “Poor thing,” She cooed. “You didn’t want to watch tv with the others?” Shauna huffed at this, squirming around so she was laying on her back with her legs out over Jackie’s thighs.

“Stupid,” She mumbled around her thumb - as if that was an adequate way to describe how frustrated and agitated everyone had been making her feel.

“That’s alright, baby,” Jackie soothed, “You’re just not feeling up to it today - nothing wrong with that.” Shauna nodded, she felt a few tears trying their hardest to force their way out of her eyes and she had to slam them shut to stop herself from crying like a baby. Jackie noticed the attempt, recognising how quickly and deeply Shauna was slipping. “C’mere,” She murmured, gently lifting Shauna onto her lap.

The comfort broke the damn. She’d wanted this so badly. Jackie bounced her softly, cooing like Shauna was the smallest and most precious thing to ever grace the plant. “You’re just my tiny bub today, aren’t you?” Shauna nodded, and it felt good to admit. She was tiny, so tiny, but Jackie didn’t mind. “Maybe you need a paci, hm?” Jackie suggested, rubbing the knuckle of Shauna’s thumb which poked slightly out of her mouth. Shauna just whined, pacifiers were for babies and she would never ever use one. Except… it didn’t sound so awful. Not awful at all, really. Whatever Shauna decided her opinion was, it didn’t really matter, because Jackie was sliding her off her lap and the bed and guiding her over the piles of books and toys which littered her floor. “There are spares in the kitchen, do you think we could make it down there?” Jackie offered, holding Shauna’s hand as if she was worried that if she let go Shauna would just stop remembering how to walk. Shauna nodded, wanting to do whatever Jackie thought was best.

She let herself be led downstairs, practically sticking to Jackie’s heels the whole time. They passed quickly by the living room, where everyone seemed deeply invested in the my little pony episode that had gotten Shauna into this mess in the first place. She shook her head, mentally shaking out whatever lingering thoughts of anger came creeping back. Jackie didn’t say anything about how Shauna hovered right over her as she rifled around in the drawer for an unused pacifier. She found one - beige with a little brown bear on the front - and washed it off before offering it to Shauna. This meant that Shauna would have to take her thumb out of her mouth, which felt impossibly difficult. But Jackie was watching her with such hope and softness in her eyes that Shauna couldn’t help but pull her hand away and take the pacifier in her mouth. It felt different to how she’d expected, not bad. She let her tongue prod at and twist around the little silicone nipple for a moment before concluding that it was not infact, bad at all. Jackie smiled proudly - as if Shauna had just done something amazing instead of simply accepting a tiny piece of babyish comfort. “Aren’t you just precious?” She cooed, making Shauna blush and press her face into the older girl’s shoulder. Jackie laughed softly, not teasing at all, but as if she just thought Shauna was so cute it was funny. Shauna wasn’t cute, that much she knew. “Let’s get you back up to bed, baby girl, I can tell you’re tired.” Shauna was tired - exhausted, infact - but she whined nonetheless because naps were for babies.

Right, no. Right now, to herself and Jackie, at least - Shauna was a baby. And that was ok.

Yellowjackets Agere Hcs and Moodboards

Lottie: she regresses very young 0-5 mainly, but even when she is feeling a bit older it’s harder to tell because she doesn’t talk. She likes being called “sweetheart” but also any kind of animal themed pet name like “doe” or “baby bear”. A lot of the time when she’s little the others will call her “Lots” and under no circumstances can anyone call her Charlotte. Very quiet bub, almost entirely nonverbal unless she’s alone with Nat - her primary cg. She knows a few basic signs in ASL but not enough to properly communicate and the other girls don’t really know anything but figure out what she means eventually. The only things she will say is like “mama” or the equivalent for different characters and usually she’s not even talking to them just babbling to herself. Unless she’s having a particularly bad episode of visions or thoughts she’s a very happy baby. She is giggly and smiley and just happy to play with anyone or help out with chores. She LOVES story time with Van and sometimes if she’s feeling extra brave she’ll whisper story requests in Van’s ear. She has one of those blankies with a stuffie attached from when she was growing up, it’s pink and soft on one side and floral on the other… at least it once was, now it’s very tattered and faded but she always carries it around with her. The stuffie is a cat, it’s called Daisy. That’s the one toy no one else is allowed to touch. She also has a paci which she uses pretty much constantly. She’s the queen of parallel play and is sooo happy just to sit and mind her own business next to anyone. When she is having a bad day she becomes sniffly and clingy and very panicked. She hates having scary thoughts and sometimes turns to less than helpful coping mechanisms but the others are quick to catch on and Nat can always calm her down. After a particularly bad episode she almost always regresses and spends a few days just lying around with her stuffies. Nat never ever leaves her side during this time and will give her soup and cuddles till she feels better. Nat will slowly coax her outside to sit on the porch for some fresh air and it always helps. She’s definitely still a klepto when she’s small but she only ever does it because she thinks it’s funny. Someone will notice something small (like a spoon or a cup) has gone missing and then look up to see Lottie poorly hiding a giggle and holding something behind her back. She does learn very quickly not to take anything that belongs to Shauna. She loves playing tea parties and she’ll set them up and then drag whoever is nearby over to play. I like to think they make paints out of rocks and water and Lottie loves to make paintings. She follows Laura Lee around a lot when they are both little - Laura Lee is very good at knowing what Lottie is trying to say without her having to say anything. *when she’s not little she loves taking care of Laura Lee <3*.

Laura Lee: regresses 1-5 but unlike Lottie is always very articulate. She’ll talk to herself, she’ll talk to Leonard, she’ll talk to Lottie even when she knows she won’t get a response. She loves reading and Van is always very patient and sits with her and helps her read. Leonard obviously never leaves her side. She takes him on walks and tells him what she can see. Sometimes during story time Van will put Leonard on her lap and use a silly voice to pretend he’s reading. She’s the happiest baby 99% of the time. She doesn’t get irritated when Lottie quietly follows her around all day or upset when Shauna is having a tantrum so she can’t play with the toys she wants to use. She does get upset sometimes but tries to hide it because she doesn’t want to be a bother. She’ll go off and cry into Leonard’s fur but Lottie is insanely in tune with Laura Lee’s emotions and she’ll go help her out or if Lottie’s feeling too little she’ll make sure to find someone (usually Nat) who can. Usually she gets darling, sweetheart, sweetness or flower when she’s small. Van always calls her ‘clever little one’ and it makes her feel so proud. She’s super content with all of the cgs and doesn’t really have a favourite but she does spend a lot of time around Nat because she spends so much time around Lottie.

Van: cg!!! I don’t think they have a specific little but all of the littles love Van. They love story time, they love the silly games van comes up with and van can always make everyone laugh. I think cg names vary for van - nothing really gender specific but a lot of them have taken to calling her bubby !! Will always hold a little on their lap during story time (especially if one of them has been having a particularly bad day) and rock on the rocking chair. She has the best voices for all the stuffies when she plays with littles or reads stories.

Nat: usually a cg, mainly just because regressing generally isn’t very pleasant for her. It really takes a lot for her to regress - I think in s3 e4 she’s feelin’ pretty small. when she does regress I’d say anywhere from 3-6. when she’s big she is the most patient cg in the world. everyone thinks nat is tough n everything but she’s really so gentle with the littles, especially lottie who struggles to communicate her emotions. and she’s all smiley when the babies are smiling. she can calm anyone down. mainly the littles call call her ma or mama depending on how little they are feelings. I don’t know what it is about Nat but whenever any of the littles find something super cool like a rock or leaf they run up to show her.

Misty: regresses around 4-12, she’s definitely older and loves getting to take care of the younger ones (especially if it means the cgs praise her for being helpful). Shes usually very happy when she’s small and wants to play with everyone but if some people don’t want to include her in their games *cough cough* little Shauna and Jackie *cough cough* she will throw a fit. She tends to gravitate towards Nat when she’s upset because she knows Nat won’t take sh*t from anyone and will make sure she’s included in the games. She loves to sing and dance and put on little performances for everyone. Jackie I think also LOVES starring in these performances. She has this vintage baby doll called Clarissa which she adores and treats like a real baby but it creeps out everyone else (except lottie).

Jackie: regresses 3-7. She’s the most energetic little, she always wants to play tag or climb a tree. But she’s also such a princess about it. She refuses to get her hair messy or touch mud. Her regression is very deeply connected to Shauna’s they are almost always together if one of them is regressed. She can be very headstrong and if Jackie wants to play a game then they are playing that game. Other than Shauna she is very hesitant towards any cg figure at first, eventually she eases into it though. She has definitely tried to start a bunch of clubs, most of which have required cg intervention because she was being a bit controlling. She’s literally a fairy princess who rides horses in her ballgown and has a sword and single handedly battles off armies of evil goblins. She’s a big fan of pacis, she has plenty and she uses them regardless how old she’s regressed to. Sometimes she gets a bit shy about it because not all of the littles use pacis and if so usually only the younger ones, but Nat in particular is very good at calming her down about it. She loves doing everyone’s hair!!! She tries her best to be a good friend to everyone all the time, even if she doesn’t always know how. She has a toy bunny called Peter. She HATES chores. She’ll do them, but you can bet she’s going to be whining the whole time.*if she’s big and Shauna is little she’s the biggest enabler ever and will indulge Shauna so much*

Shauna: regresses 3-7, same as Jackie. They are usually very in tune with their ages and often called ‘the twins’. She’s equally as rambunctious but couldn’t care less if she gets her hands dirty. She wants to make mud pies and make fake swords out of sticks. This is where being close with Melissa really comes in handy because Melissa is always happy to roughhouse a bit more than Jackie is. She’s a biter, obviously, and spends a lot of time in timeout for biting or taking a game too far. Shes looooves teethers and has heaps - sometimes she forgets to use them but the second someone notices her getting worked up they’ll just hand her a teether. She’s extremely jealous - especially of Tai and Jackie. If Tai is sitting curled up with Van, Shauna will wiggle her way in between to get cuddles from her Mama. If Jackie is playing with someone else Shauna will get pouty and grumpy and throw a fit. Jackie is equally as jealous so they even each other out. She loves story time with Van and sometimes she gets to help Van write new stories for the littles to read. If Shauna is getting really worked up Van will distract her by asking if she’s had any story ideas. She’s super attached to Tai. She’s always trying to hold Tai’s hand or babbling to tai about anything. Tai is the only one who can get her in trouble - she will literally just ignore the other cgs if they tell her off. She has a stuffed dog toy called Rupert. He’s a German shepherd and is best friends with Peter, Jackie’s bunny. They have a treehouse and Shauna loves to pretend she’s the guard. She gets called pup and kiddo a lot. She often gets baby from Tai but only Tai or Van can call her that. *she’s extremely good with Jackie when Jackie is little and she’s big, she’s super patient with her*

Tai: Shauna’s mama <3 she loves taking care of everyone but is especially good with Shauna. She loves making shadow puppets for the littles on the wall to act out whatever is happening in Van’s stories. Amazing for cuddles and the littles like to pile up on her. Tai gets extra scared about hurting the littles when she’s sleepwalking and gets super anxious about it. Definitely always the voice of reason and mediator for any arguments. The littles love to do drawings or paintings and show them to her because she always tells them how proud she is. Obviously they don’t have a fridge to hang the artworks on but they dedicate a small wall of the cabin to all the little’s artworks.

Travis: regresses 3-7. He doesn’t regress a lot and when he does he’s super shy about it. If Nat’s regressed and not super distressed they play a lot together. In fact, the only time Nat really regresses happily is when they go out for a hunt but end up spending the day chasing each other through the forest. He loves playing with little wood carved animals. I don’t think he regressed at all before the crash, hence why he’s extra hesitant about it.

Coach Scott: he’s everyone’s papa <3 peak girl dad. all of the littles adore him. They are always rambling to him about their games or their stories - they really want him to be proud of them. He’s amazing for hugs, they’ll curl up in his arms and he gives great bear hugs. Laura Lee sometimes begs him to go on walks with her because she gets worried about him being cramped up in the cabin and she’s super patient with how long it takes him. Jackie likes to decorate his crutches with flowers and vines she finds. He learns how to plait and in the morning the girls take it in turns to sit on the floor in front of him so he can braid their hair. He teaches them how to skip rocks and they all have competitions to see who’s can go the furthest.

Melissa: regresses around 5-8. Loves playing with Shauna and they have sword fights all the time. Loves getting called Champ or Buddy. Has a stuffed toy frog called Gregory. Gravitates towards Tai and Van as cgs. Built a rope swing out of rope and a branch hung around a tree and looooves to play with it. (idk how to explain it but I had one growing up and it was the most fun ever… also causes a lot of bashing into trees). Doesn’t like to sit still at all.

MistyNat + JackieShauna - Party

A little fic for the coolest ever, @rios-bug !! They came up with this awesome fic idea !! I hope you like it !! Ft. Little!Shauna, Cg!Jackie, Little!Misty, Cg!Nat <3

Cw: smoking, drinking, panic attack

Word count: 1421

—————————

“Misty anything you wear will look just fine,” Nat promised, dropping her head back onto the other girl’s overstuffed pillow.

“It has to look better than fine - this is my first real party. It has to be perfect.” Misty explained, pulling out a pink denim skirt from her wardrobe. “Does this clash with my sweater?” - also pink - Nat had no fucking clue.

“Misty,” She smiled softly. “You’re going to look lovely.” Misty huffed a little but pulled on the skirt. Nat sighed with relief. They could finally get going. She was not excited for the party (other than the free drinks) but she hadn’t wanted to send Misty to her first proper party by herself.

-

Once the whole wardrobe fiasco was sorted out, the evening seemed to be falling into place exactly how Misty had always dreamed it. Her father had driven her and Nat to the party and said she was allowed to stay out till 11. Nat had laughed about this quietly, but quickly apologised by saying 11 sounded completely reasonable. And then they’d gone inside, where the whole soccer team - and pretty much every other face Misty had ever seen at school - was crammed into a house which shook with music and movement. It was nice… people were talking to her, and laughing with her. Even Jackie was talking to her (And god, did Misty just think Jackie was the coolest ever). She couldn’t lie, it was a bit crowded… and loud… and people kept shoving her around and it sort of made her skin crawl. But Natalie never so much as left her side, she kept her hand firmly on Misty’s back and it was the only thing keeping the curly haired girl grounded. They were cramped up on an armchair, opposite Jackie and Shauna who were curled up together on a couch. Misty was trying her very best to be interesting, to say things that made everyone smile and laugh. Shauna was seeming like the hardest to crack, she wouldn’t even fake a smile when Misty made a joke that got laughs from Jackie and Nat. Eventually, their little group dispersed. Shauna stormed off to go have a smoke, Jackie was pulled away by Jeff and with a quick pat to Misty’s back and a promise not to go far Nat went to find Kevyn. It was fine… Misty could occupy herself. She’d try at least.

She made a few rounds of the party, trying to fall into conversation with anyone she could. No one was taking her though. Sometimes she heard laughs while she passed by, her cheeks flushed and her heart raced. It was so hot. She pulled off her sweater, cringing internally when she realised how childish the cat print on the shirt she was wearing underneath was. God, why did she have to be such a baby? Her mind started to slip quickly, her thoughts growing fuzzy and childlike as she desperately tried to locate Natalie.

Instead of Nat, Misty stumbled straight into Shauna, crashing into the taller girl’s shoulder. She expected a snide remark or a side glare but instead when Shauna looked at Misty it seemed like she was about to cry. “Shauna?” She asked, her voice coming out weaker than she wanted it too. Shauna’s brows furrowed as she tried to look anywhere but at Misty. “Are you ok?” This seemed to be all it took to break the dam in Shauna, her tears coming quickly once someone had shown any kind of concern for her. Panicked, Misty grabbed Shauna by the shoulder and pulled her away from the crowd. She knew first hand that it was not fun to cry in front of so many people.

Misty found them a quiet and dark hallway. Shauna slid down the wall, curling her knees up to her chest and rocking back and forth as she gasped for breath. Misty knew the signs of a panic attack… she knew that somewhere in her brain she knew what to do about it too. But right now all her mind would offer her was desperate pleas to find her Mama and anxious cries at the scene unfolding in front of her. “Shauna, Shaunie, it’s ok.” Misty whispered, sitting down opposite Shauna and trying to soothe her with a hug. It didn’t really seem to be working, Shauna was still crying and as a result of the nerves, Misty was crying too. “I’m sorry, I'm sorry, I don't know what to do.” She babbled, wishing she had her dollie here. Clarice made everything better.

Whilst the hug didn’t seem to be working, Shauna didn’t deny herself the comfort Misty was offering. She shoved her face into the shorter girls' shoulder. “Jackie.” She kept mumbling, as if it was the only word she knew.

“You want Jackie?” Misty asked through her own tears.

“Mama…”

“Mama?” Misty’s heart froze. Jackie… Mama… oh. “You want your Mama?” Misty whispered, suddenly understanding Shauna a bit better. “I want my Mama too…”

-

“Have you seen Misty?” Nat called out to Jackie, raising her voice to be heard over the music.

“No. Shauna?” Jackie called back,

“Why do you always need to know where Shauna is?” Nat snapped. Maybe it sounded a little bit hypocritical but, seriously, it got on her nerves how clingy Jackie could be. She couldn’t imagine how Shauna felt.

Jackie glared at Natalie defensively. “Look, it's none of your business, she just needs me. Why are you so fussed over Quigley anyway?”

Nat almost didn’t even want to give Jackie a response, but something about the pure panic on Jackie’s face made Nat feel a little bad for snapping before. “I just… I take care of her, sometimes,” She shrugged - not really thinking too much of her words. It would be a lie to say she wasn’t a bit buzzed and her worry for where Misty had gone off to was making her looser with her wording. It seemed to hit Jackie very quickly though, and the contorting of her face seemed to click something in Nat too.

With a newfound understanding of each other, the two girls set out in a panicked search for their littles.

-

As if summoned by the magic word ‘Mama’, Nat and Jackie stumbled into the hallway - panicked and out of breath. “For fucks sake,” Nat whispered under her breath, slight relief dripping from her words. Jackie wasted no such time, immediately scooping Shauna out of Misty’s arms and holding her close.

“I’ve got you, I’ve got you baby,” She cooed, rocking Shauna back and forth and peppering her damp face with kisses. “I’m not going to leave you again.” Misty quickly jumped up, throwing herself into Natalie’s open arms.

“I was so scared,” She whispered.

Nat rubbed her back gently, “I’m sorry. I’m so fucking sorry, I never should’ve left you.” Misty shook her head, not wanting Nat to feel bad since it wasn’t her fault. “You were so brave though, taking such good care of Shauna.” She praised. Misty rubbed her tears away with the back of her palm.

“Parties aren’t as fun as they sounded…” She admitted quietly, sort of let down that her first real party experience had gone so sideways. Nat frowned, cupping the back of Misty’s curly head gently.

“You just gotta find a way to make them work for you,” She explained. Nat glanced over to Jackie and Shauna. Shauna had stopped crying and was pressed tightly against Jackie’s chest with her thumb securely in her mouth. “How about we get out of here, hm?” Everyone agreed and followed Nat out the backdoor and into the cool evening air. The music from inside was still spilling out every crack in the bricks, muffled but loud. Blindly they followed Nat down the uneven pavement until she stopped in front of a little park that was lit only by the moon.

Misty’s face lit up with joy. “Mama, can I play?” She asked eagerly, all her earlier excitement returning quickly.

“Of course you can,” Nat smiled. “Shauna, you wanna go with her?” Shauna looked up nervously, she was unsure about leaving her Mama. Jackie squeezed her hand gently,

“Go on baby, go have some fun I won’t go anywhere.” Jackie promised. Shauna ran off into the playground after Misty and the two quickly began a game of trying to race each other up and down the slides. Jackie and Nat retired to a nearby bench, happy to have their babies safe and out of the crowded party.

little!shauna with cg!jackie moodboard? and hcs if u want !! :D

little!shauna , c!g jackie hcs:

shauna loves to read/write. she has a separate journal for when she's little and she'll scribble down messy sentences about how her day went, what she wants to do tomorrow, and how she's feeling. if she's having a hard time or getting mean because of big feelings - jackie will ask if shauna wants to take a break for some journal time. shauna will normally resist at first, not wanting to admit that she's upset, but journal time almost always helps.

similarly, shauna loves to read with jackie. she loves it when jackie reads to her because she tries to do voices, but isn't very good at them, which shauna finds so funny. but shauna also likes reading to jackie to show her how good she is at it. when she's finished with the story, jackie will always shower her with praise - which only makes shauna want to read even more

shauna is so possessive over jackie. she gets so anxious about being forgotten or unwanted - it always gets her worked up when she sees someone else getting jackie's attention. but jackie is good at reassuring her that she isn't going anywhere; shauna is still her girl

mari will occasionally write bad words in the dirt when she's angry and blame it on shauna. whenever this happens and shauna is confronted about it (normally by tai) - shauna can never prove her innocence because her instinctive response is always "i wouldn't fucking do that!" in her angry three-year-old voice

shauna can be very sensory seeking. she loves to jump in mud puddles, walk through the creek, and play in the grass. she gets very dirty very quickly and by extension, will often get jackie dirty. jackie is not a fan of this, but will do her best not to let it show, because it's worth it to make shauna happy

little ! melissa moodboard . . .

— lil moodboard for my second highest yellowjackets kin <3

[selfsindulgent]

Little!Van & Little!Mel Moodboard

Avoiding the fact that I’ll have to think about how they end tonight when the finale comes out

[selfsindulgent]

Hi erik !! New blog looks awesome ! Could i request vannat brothers headcanons of them getting high and regressing together ? 😎 No worries if not , man𓈒 Thanks for considering ! Excited to see what you create here𓈒

< little ! nat & little ! van smoking together hcs >

omg yippee my first ask !

tags : smoking weed, pre canon, bad parents mentioned, they live in the same trailer park, he/him pronouns used

nat is more experienced than van and has to do the rolling/packing the bowl/lighting or whatnot they need for whatever they’re specifically smoking out of

the first time they smoke together neither of them plan on regressing or even bringing the topic up

they’re at van’s trailer cause his mom is mia for a bit and there’s nothing better to do in the heat of summer quickly approaching than sit in front of the ac and watch nat roll a joint to share

“you sure this is a good idea nat? we have practice later . . .” van had muttered, feeling less cool than ever for even questioning this decision when he was the one to ask if nat wanted to come back to his place after catching nat sitting outside of his own trailer listening to his parents fighting inside

“we don’t have to if you don’t want to” nat has paused his motions to look up at van but only got a harsh head shake from the other boy

“no light it . just- jackie can’t find out , she’ll kill us both” — “yeah , yeah palmer , just take it and inhale”

an hour and two joints later , van had felt himself start to slip into little space despite his best efforts not to

he tries to hide his change in headspace and focus on the tv that was now playing lowly across the room from them but - it was a kid show playing , and that only made it worse for him

“vanny you okay?” his head shot up at the use of a nickname as nat rarely used anything other than van’s name or last name

��Mm.” it wasn’t convincing and apparently nat had already caught onto him as he simply slid in next to van and pulled his head onto his shoulder with a content sigh

they had talked about their regression before this and new the other regressed but had never actually been one on one while small together

van knew a clear sign nat was small was him inciting physical touch without any preamble talk of it

they sat together for a long while in silence letting the cool air of the ac waft over them until nat broke it with a small confession that he hadn’t wanted to go back home or to practice and he wished they could just stay here and keep smoking

and van . . . he knew they’d both pay for it later but he agreed anyway and called tai to let her know neither boy would be at practice but that everything was fine - she could tell from van’s voice that he wasn’t exactly telling her everything but let it slide once van promised to call if anything serious happened

with that - they lit another blunt and started to talk about everything and anything

van regresses a little older than nat so he was doing most of the storytelling while nat laid back on the couch and listened with all the intent in the world

this started a routine for the boys to hang out at vans place and smoke/regress when nobody was around

occasionally they’d have someone from the team there with them to either act as a caregiver or regress with them depending on who it was

it was never anything like a party or even that exciting but acted as a good outlet for both boy to deal with whatever might’ve been going on in their respective lives

sometimes serious topics would get brought up - when nat snuck in at night after a bad night with his parents, after van fought with his mother before she left again, if someone on the team said something to either boy that hit a particular nerve, etc etc

any autistic little!shauna hcs ?? w cg!jackie if ur up 2 it :p

Autistic Little!Shauna x Cg!Jackie Hcs

I was honestly quite stumped trying to think of these as I’ve never seen Shauna as particularly autistic coded but I hope I did her justice !!

- so, so picky about clothes. Her flannels are comfort items to her and the only form of layering she can handle.

- Sometimes she’ll chew on the collar of her flannels. Which is Not like sucking her thumb, thank you very much Mari, it’s completely different and not babyish. Jackie is always gently reminding her not to do this and offering a teether instead which she’ll take sometimes.

- Deals with the press attention the worst. Everyone hates and struggles with it, but Shauna gets really overwhelmed and lashes out. She’ll hit and shove and yell to get them away from her which often spooks the others more.

- She’s super particular about who can touch her. Jackie, usually Tai and sometimes Lottie. Unwanted touch will be met with a rough shove.

- She isn’t super particular about food, a habit of the wilderness, but her safe food is buttered toast made by jackie and a sippy with apple juice.

- Needs to have her hair up in a ponytail at all times when she’s super small, Jackie always puts it up for her and makes sure there are no bumps which Shauna hates.

- She likes putting things in Order. Everything has a specific place to be and she’ll flip out if someone messes up her order. She gets really mad and will yell at them, then refuse to talk to them for a while until she has calmed down.

- Sometimes she struggles to get her words out, which is why she really likes journaling to process her feelings.

- Her favourite stim is to scrunch her hands up into fists and then straightening them out again.

- Can’t Sit On Chairs Normally. She’s always finding the strangest ways to twist herself into different positions.

- Jackie is endlessly patient with Shauna when she has meltdowns, she never snaps and always lets Shauna ride it out until she’s ready for comfort.

Shoutout to age regressors who can't stop themselves from throwing tantrums and are really upset with themselves afterwards but still can't control it
