#I’m so hyperfixated on these silly lil puppets

Screw it

Welcome Home Age Regression HCs

Wally 🍎

Usually from 1-3, can regress older

Can be voluntary or involuntary

Can be a bit of a brat sometimes? Especially if you seem to break his routine, that makes him pretty upset

Otherwise he’s just a super sweet baby

Autistic age regression let’s gooooo

He’s always seen with his childhood blankie, you can’t pull them apart

Like seriously

Don’t even attempt to break them apart, he’ll just throw a fit and start crying

He also LOVES apple slices and apples in general, it’s his same food

The best kinda baby for a playdate!! He’ll play house with ya, princess dressup, he’ll read books with you, he’s just a playful lil guy

Pretty much anyone can be his cg, but they’re usually either Barnaby, Julie, Howdy, or Poppy

He called Barnaby “pubby” once and it drove the dog to tears, he can never recover

I also hc him to be a cat regressor? He’s got those eyes and likes to bat things off of counters and stays up to ungodly hours

Lil weird ass meow meow

Barnaby 🐾

Primarily a pet regressor, it’s way too easy to figure out

Unusually easy to slip as well

Wally starts playing with him and he’s just immediately into puppyspace

Was kinda scared of people finding out bc he thought they would be confused, but they’re super supportive!!

Frank: “It was obvious, you’re a dog of all things.”

His favorite toy to chew on is either Wally’s slippers or his stuffed mouse

When he’s not in puppy regression, he can also (rarely) age regress to 5-10 yrs

The best big brother!!

If Wally and Barnaby regress together, he’s usually the one taking the reins and playing the “parent”

Occasionally he’ll snap out of regression if someone else is regressing while he is, just so he can help take care of them

He’s got older brother cg vibes, I swear

Julie 🌸

Surprisingly quiet when it comes to regression, but does it religiously

Usually down to toddler age, around 2-5 yrs

Has a MOUNTAIN of plushies, she practically sleeps in a big pile of them

There’s at least 7 separate hello kitty ones

She’s a big fan of cats in general, she’ll pretend that she has a pet kitty and use one of her plushies

Their name is Violet Twinkletoes :>>

Loves to do lil playdates with Frank and Wally, regressed or not

Tea parties ALL the time, it’s required

Loves to play big sister when others are regressed

Similarly to Barnaby, she’ll break out of regression if she notices others starting to go small, just so she can take care of them

She loves giving and getting lullabies

Pretty hard to get to sleep, she’ll probably just start jumping up and down on her bed before she tires herself out

Sally ☀️

Terrible twos, 2-4 yrs old

Princess regressor to a capital T

Super bossy, loud, loves to wear pretty dresses, just an all-around theater baby

Loves watching musical recordings, her favorite is Cats

“TOUUUUUCH MEEEEEE ITS SO EEEEAAAASSSY TO LEEEEEAVE MEEEEEEEEEEE”

Surprisingly easy to get to bed, she knows she needs the energy tomorrow for games so she just clocks out

Just don’t take away her tv, she can’t live without it

Her favorite show would definitely be My Little Pony, she loves the colors and the characters and how pretty everything is

She has a bunch of My Little Pony figurines in her drawers and on the floor

Very messy toddler too, but she’s willing to clean up when she needs to

It takes her a bit to notice if someone is feeling bad, but when she does she’s their BIGGEST support

Frank 🦋

The smartest baby, but also the grumpiest

Only regresses to deal with stress and anxiety, rarely regresses out of happiness

0-2 yrs, he’s so darn tiny!!

He loves being held, it’s usually his first request when he goes small

He also LIVES for bedtime stories, he always asks for one before bed

Sometimes he’ll sit on your lap and just start spouting facts about insects and butterflies, all with a slight lisp and everything

Knows a bunch of big boy words, but has trouble pronouncing it so he needs your help

Eddie it’s obv his main cg, but he’s also got Julie, Howdy, and Poppy

And Barnaby if he’s tiny enough

Doesn’t have many plushies but he does have a stuffed beetle named Skipper, he’s his best friend

Arguably the most talkative out of all the regressors, he’s always chatting

Eddie 💌

The most prominent flip of the neighborhood

He can go from baby to dad in an instant, he’s that quick to go big again

Has a pretty wide range of age when it comes to regressing, but usually stays in 1-4 yrs

Completely mute when he’s small, he’s either suckin on his paci or his thumb the entire time

Follows his cg like a baby duckling while little, sometimes holding their hand

It’s actually pretty easy to tell when he needs to go small; not talking as much, constantly following someone, probably fumbling with his hands, a lot more shy too

Frank takes care of him ofc, he’s the best dad

Frank would fuss over him a LOT, constantly checking for bruises and stuff, making sure he’s not sick

And he’s just sitting there like 👶

Eddie’s scared of the dark :((

It’s really easy to forget tho; he’ll say just about nothing the whole day, then you tuck him into bed and when you’re leaving you just hear him start crying and being all “hellpppp, don’t goooooo”

He’s stacked with night lights tho

He likes to put a plushy in front of the door, the closet, and underneath his bed so no monsters get him

I like to think that Frank is surprisingly strong for how lanky he is so he can carry is baby husband with little to no struggle

Eddie loves it

Howdy 🐛

Primarily a caregiver!!

Honestly would be such a good dad figure, he’s got four arms to carry four kids!

Would give silly lil nicknames for all the kiddos on the block; buddy, lil man, lil miss, sweetie, pumpkin, etc.

May not be the brightest caregiver but boy is he the sweetest

Would probably accidentally leave one of the kiddos on his back bc he’s got his hands full with the others, so they’re just hanging out behind him

The absolute best at pretend, he’s got stories and character roles all up his sleeves

Frank like to pretend that Howdy is turning into a butterfly, so he pretends he stays in a lil blanket cocoon and then emerges with these plastic butterfly wings on his back

It sends Frank into a frenzy every single time

If someone accidentally goes small at his Bugdega, he’ll drop everything and take them into the nearest bathroom so they can calm down and go small properly

He’ll also sneak a free treat in their pocket if they’re good, only if you’re good

Punishments are hard to give bc he’s pretty easily swayed, so he’ll probably just give you a slap on the wrist and scold you before sending you on your way

He loves his kids and he wants the best for them, he can’t stand to see them upset

Poppy 🐔

This one is the hardest to figure out bc there isn’t much to know about her, but I’ll do my best

TOP TIER MOM OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Also a default caregiver like Howdy, they are the ultimate parent duo

Always fussing over her kiddos, she’s got bandaids and Pepto Bismol in every corner of her house

She can be a bit stern when it comes to punishment, but she isn’t downright strict or mean

All she wants is for you to be careful

Her drawers are STACKED with toys, blankets, pacis, outfits, nappys, etc.

She always prepared when something is needed

She is the absolute best baker too; you’ll come to her house and it smells like freshly baked cookies

You can come into her kitchen to find a light snack, she’ll notice and make a whole meal

She’s also a lovely singer, so she’s perfect for lullabies

I like to imagine that if the kids are staying over at her house, they like to cuddle with her bc she’s a big ol bird

She’s got soft feathers!! She can’t help it!!

kURURU-

Why I like them: I could sit here for probably 3 hours talking about why Kururu is my favorite character but I’ll keep it shortish. Not only is he hands down one of the goofiest and most hilarious characters on the show but he also has a surprising amount of depth and subtlety to him making him really interesting. He undergoes some noticeable character development over the course of the anime, going from a withdrawn and sorta sadistic guy (though he is still pretty evil all the way through :L) to one of the most expressive characters who actually starts to care about other people. He is also both extremely cool and extremely adorable. And this isn’t even getting into all of the reasons why I personally relate to him!

Why I don’t: Kururu is ALMOST perfect…except he is sadly a big ol perv sometimes and that pisses me off to no end especially since this is the SECOND hyperfixation character of mine in recent years that does this and it makes me really upset to the point where I usually have to stop watching for a few minutes whenever it comes up. (To Kururu’s credit the other character I’m referring to is…much, much worse)

Favorite episode and/or movie scene: I could name like 10 scenes right now but I’ll limit it to some of my top ones: 229b, 112, and the goddamn stupid dark PictoChat thing that got like 100 notes. Oh and all of Musha Kero, he was amazing there.

Favorite season and/or movie: In general, season 3+ Kururu is best Kururu overall. He was a little weak in seasons 1-2 (hell he was my LEAST FAVORITE my first time through until I got to mid season 2 or so, could you even imagine). As for movie, the 3rd one definitely, pretty much no contest. (Honorable mention to movie 5 though)

Favorite line: Too many, but here’s a few: “Mochicourse~!” “What’s wrong with borscht?!” “Why am I burning?” And in a rare moment of actual humor from the Funimation dub: *in response to Keroro and Tamama telling him he’s still a jerk* “Why thank you!”

Favorite outfit: CHIBI. Also the mage outfit from Keroro RPG look at his lil boots

OTP: KuruKero!! Something that didn’t cross my mind until reading the manga but I think it’s the cutest thing. Towards the middle/end of the anime it becomes REALLY obvious that Keroro thinks of him quite a bit differently than he does the others also.

BroTP: Who knows? Not like I have an entire “brotp” tag dedicated to it or anything. Definitely didn’t cry over it either how silly would that be? Hahahaha…….(I could get into why Kururu and Saburo is such an important dynamic to me but we’d be here all day. I like Kururu and Fuyuki also)

Headcanon: I’ve said this in the past but him being autistic-coded is part of the reason he’s my favorite in the first place, so yeah that.

Unpopular opinion: I’m not actually into KuruGiro. I think their relationship would be too strained and admittedly sorta unfair to Giroro. I like to think of them more as argumentative adoptive siblings, especially since Garuru watched over Kururu in the military when he was still a major according to Keroro Land. Also I don’t personally share the somewhat popular HC that Shupepe and Rinono are his siblings, but I don’t mind it.

A wish: I really wish they talked about his family/childhood more; I have my own theories but I would’ve liked some confirmation. Also please have him hang out with Saburo more DAMN IT

An oh-god-please-don’t-ever-happen: Kururu never being told that there are people who love and appreciate him. I mean he’s a jerk and I wanna punch him sometimes but he still deserves to feel loved!

5 words to best describe them: Will laugh at your pain

My nickname for them: HELLBEAST (also any variation of “my boy”, “my son” etc.)

In conclusion: He’s the puppet master that cursed my dick
