little!nikolai content is the content the world deserves got any headcanons on it??

Absolutely! I haven't seen much regressor content for the BSD fandom so I figured I'd make it myself since I'm hyperfixated on BSD and I've been regressing again lately and clown man and has somehow become one of my favorites.

Nikolai is calmer when regressed than when he's not.

He always shows up around someone in the DOA and the Rats.

Fyodor doesn't like babysitting? Too bad, he now has a clown child to look after.

If Sigma's busy but Nikolai's regressing at the Sky Casino, he follows him around and tries to help.

Fukuchi keeps him on a child harness attached to his desk with coloring books. He stays with him, of course, but he'd rather not lose him again.

Bram will tell him stories of his time in Europe. Nikolai loves all of his stories.

Ivan matches his energy so they tend to interact a lot while Nikolai's regressed.

Shibusawa treats him like proud father. Nikolai very much likes being referred to as 'little treasure'.

Mushitaro tried to babysit him once and both of them ended up crying. Nobody knows how it happened. Mushitaro is no longer allowed to babysit Nikolai without someone else with him.

Nikolai gets overly attached to things he's given when regressed because he never had many things of his own growing up and now he's trying to make up for it.

He once wouldn't give up a wrapper Fyodor gave him and cried until he had it back. He does get rid of them when he ages back up, though.

Mushitaro won him a bear at the carnival once and he never lets it go when he regresses, it's now a comfort item. If you take it away, he cries until he has it back.

Sigma spoils him. Why? Because he can. Nikolai has many regression items solely from Sigma due to this. It's also because Sigma gets not having a childhood and trying to make up for it.

Fukuchi gives him coloring books and markers and just lets him run wild. This is how Fukuchi ended up with a marker-colored mustache not once, but seven times. He still hasn't learned, but he can't punish Nikolai for it or the others will try to kill him.

Fyodor pretends to ignore him when he's around him while regressed, but he'll secretly slip him snacks and toys to keep him happy every so often.

Nikolai frequently coerces Shibusawa into showing him his horn because he thinks it's pretty. Shibusawa is incredibly fond of this tiny child calling his horn pretty.

Ivan takes him out places. He likes going places, Nikolai likes following him. Nikolai's favorite place to go is the park because he can 'force' Ivan to push him on the swings.

Nikolai usually can be found lulled to sleep by stories in the bottom half of Bram's coffin when he's regressed around him since he tends to fall asleep when Bram tells him stories.

Pushkin asked him exactly once if he was useful at all while he was regressed. He was in the hospital for six months afterwards. Nobody knows exactly who it was and none of Nikolai's caretakers will tell.

Everyone refers to regressed Nikolai as the 'communal child'.

Nikolai falls asleep on everyone, nobody minds. Except Fyodor, Fyodor loses his ability to move but it's a sacrifice he's willing to make for a sleeping clown child.

Nikolai hides a lot when he regresses. This has ended up with five people frantically playing an impromptu game of hide and seek for him only to find him sleeping in Bram's coffin or somewhere in the Sky Casino on multiple occasions.

Everyone fought over who got to babysit him at first, but Nikolai solved that by choosing for himself and completely disregarding them.

Fyodor teaches regressed Nikolai to curse at people he doesn't like.

Regressed Nikolai will call you a bitch if you mess with his caregivers. He has made Fukuchi cry before by doing this after Fukuchi called the others 'a bunch of mother hens'.

Nikolai will randomly burst out cursing while regressed. Nobody knows why. Nikolai doesn't even know why. It's a mystery. Everyone blames Fyodor.

Sushi-Zanmai, Laid-Back Antarctica, and the Yakuza JRPG: An April Fools' Round-Up

  Lots of the stories we get in the Crunchyroll Newsroom already sound like they must be jokes. (Remember the two guys arrested for Gundam crimes? Or, you know, just about anything related to Pop Team Epic?) But once a year, anime and game producers bring out their best material to, if not fool fans, at least entertain them. So, as April Fools' Day ends in Japan and get into full swing here, we're doing a round-up of some of the best surprises, jokes, and tricks to come from your favorite studios.

    Prince of Tennis fans got a surprise this morning when charismatic character Keigo Atobe hijacked girl-targeted manga app Manga Mee. The collaboration with series creator Takeshi Konomi featured new art of Atobe, but the collaboration doesn't stop there. When April 1 is over, app users will still have access to 150 free issues of The Prince of Tennis until May 30! (Source)

    The first of many "I wish this actually existed" entries comes in the form of Bungo Stray Dogs Academy, which resets the story of the series in high school. The scene depicts Atsushi Nakajima, recently accepted into the Armed Student Council for saving a member, being lured by Tatsuhiko Shibusawa into the school's Apple Suicide Club.

  While Bungo Stray Dogs Academy isn't coming anytime soon, a third season of Bungo Stray Dogs will be kicking off on April 12. (Source)

    A newly-released key visual for Kunihiko Ikuhara's Sarazanmai shows a major change in direction. Instead of turning into kappa, the main characters of the series will turn into... sushi chefs? In order to return to their regular school lives, they will have to collect the shirikodama of sushi-grade tuna. The joke art has us hungry for sushi, but we're expecting the show to premiere as originally planned on April 11. (Source)

      Laid-Back Camp and A Place Further Than the Universe updated their respective websites with art swapping out their shows' characters — resulting in "A Place Further Than Yamanashi" and "Laid-Back Antarctica." The Antarctic expedition probably deserves some laid-back camping at this point... and we're pretty sure Rin, Nadeshiko, and friends could take on the snowy terrain! (Just make sure to bundle Chikuwa up!)

    Looking forward to the new Made in Abyss movie? Too bad, you'll watch Marulk's Everyday Life and like it.

  All joking aside, this key visual is absolutely adorable. We wouldn't mind seeing Marulk and Ozen in their own little mini-spinoff. And for any fans still worried, the creators of Made in Abyss have confirmed that, yes, the movie you're expecting is still what will be screening in January 2020. (Source)

    In a move tested out by Hulu several April Foolses ago, the official YU-NO: A Girl Who Chants Love at the Bound of This World website has gone vintage for the day. The temporary downgrade takes the site back to the look of the Internet in 1996, when the visual novel first came out. They've really gone all out, too — with web ring and "top 100" site banners at the bottom of the page, bouncy GIFs, and blue link borders around the images. (Source)

    Magia Record players received new challenges at the hands (paws?) of Kyubey thanks to the special release Circular Logic Sports Day. Those who challenged the new app chose from 11 puella magi (the game's lead 10, plus the cartoony Madoka-sensei) to participate in minigames: "Dokidoki Foot Race," "Kyubey Toss," and "Witch Capture the Flag." (Source)

    Yakuza fans hungry for info on the next game will likely jump at this super-secret sneaky footage of the new title in progress. Titled "ryu_new_0401" and stealthily taken over a shoulder, the new footage shows a team setup in the style of turn-based JRPGs. While a few news sites are still up in the air as to whether this is real, we're calling it as a very good fool.

  Speaking of video games, this year's April Fools' Day gave us a one-two punch of creators going turbo in their own titles. PlatinumGames made this glorious high-end trailer for business simulator Chief Executive Omni-Weapon Ken-Ichi (note: you may have to click through to watch it on YouTube):

    And TEKKEN 7 director Katsuhiro Harada has announced that, "by popular demand," he will be stepping into the ring to play his part in settling the Mishima feud. We know it's a joke, but can we please have this as DLC?

    For Final Fantasy fans, there's a commercial for the new Omega smart home assistant. He'll help you with your homework, tell you the latest basketball scores, and remind you that you are an inferior being who exists only to be slaughtered on the battlefield manage your playlist!

    Finally — at least for this round-up — Toho weighs in with an appropriately kaiju-sized gag. A new teaser shows what is allegedly the return of Jet Jaguar on the big screen in 2020. If nothing else, at least we get a glimpse or two of the mecha rendered in CG.

    We're sure to see a few more trickle in before the day is out, too, including some super well-made creations by fans. What are your favorites from this list? Any we missed that you'd like to tell other readers about? Let us know in the comments!

BSD Little Oneshots: Chapter 6: Little!Nikolai x Caregivers!DOA & Rats

Stumbling upon it had initially been an accident. You see, you could argue the DOA and Rats meeting was going as planned. If you weren't a certain Nikolai Gogol, that is. He knew, of course, that everyone else would describe this meeting as normal, business, casual even. Even Sigma, who hated these meetings was perfectly fine today.

Unfortunately, he wasn't able to pay attention. He was busy bouncing between headspaces and trying to keep his mouth shut so nothing stupid came out, no babble, not a word. He refused to speak because he knew his voice would come out wrong, come out like a baby. He'd taken to nodding and shaking his head as a response.

And Fukuchi had taken to asking him things he just simply didn't answer once he'd caught on that he was being quiet today. But, even with his questions, Fukuchi breezed past him easily regardless of answer or not. Fukuchi always did like monologues.

"Can someone remind me again how he's useful? I mean, such a strong ability is wasted if he's so slow mentally." Pushkin remarked and Nikolai felt his adult headspace crash a bit.

He refused to look up, he knew he'd look too stupid if he did, too young. He didn't want them to see him like this, he didn't want to even be here but everyone insisted that everyone attend. Even Shibusawa had joined as a tagalong to Fyodor, like a thorn in his side.

"What the fuck, Pushkin?" Sigma snapped. He looked over at the two-tone in confusion, he felt tears on his face. He didn't know when they got there, he didn't know when Bram began growling at Pushkin, eyes flashing dangerously, either but he was. The whole room was tense and he heard hiccups. Was that him?

"Why's the baby crying, hmm? You know you aren't useful?" Pushkin continued.

"I am!" He hiccupped, he felt like he was shaking.

"He even sounds like a kid." Pushkin laughed.

"You need to leave, right now. Before you regret coming today." He could have sworn Fyodor was talking to him so that's just what he did, he ran out and home, hiding in his room, hiding in his closet with his pacifier because he knew it was the only thing that could calm him down.

"Kolya!" Came Ivan's voice eventually, he heard the others too. They were looking for him, he knew.

So he didn't make a sound from his place in the closet, hand over his mouth, breath shaking and he was scared. Did they come to kill him? He couldn't escape like this, he was too small to use his ability with any accuracy, he could end up in the middle of an ocean, or falling from the sky.

"I think he's in the closet." Shibusawa told Ivan, probably the others as well.

"Why would he be in the closet? Wouldn't he have left by now?" Fukuchi asked.

"His breathing, it's quiet, but he's there." He hated Shibusawa's senses, he did. He knew too much too often and this is the one time he didn't want to be found.

"Kolya." Fyodor opened the door, kneeling before the closet when he spotted him in the far corner. He would die here, Fyodor would kill him. He didn't want to die like this, his chest felt too tight, he wanted to hide, he needed to breathe but he couldn't.

"He's panicking." Shibusawa alerted them.

"Panicking? Kolya, we made Pushkin leave. You can calm down." Fyodor assured him.

"Here, move." Sigma shoved his way past the others and sat with him in the corner. "Deep breaths. Slowly." The two-tone assured him, hand on his arm softly to give him something to latch onto. He followed his instruction, mimicking the calm, slow deep breaths that the other was taking to guide him.

"See? You're okay." Sigma assured him. "Just relax, you're safe. Nobody will hurt you. You're not stupid, Pushkin is an asshole."  He nodded, hands still over his mouth, now to hide his pacifier more than quiet his breathing.

"Nikolai, are you nauseous?" Ivan asked.

"Yeah, he's still holding his mouth." Mushitaro realized.

"Kolya, nausea's okay, just tell us. Are you sick?" Fyodor asked. He shook his head, that wasn't it. He didn't want to be made fun of again.

"Oh." Sigma hummed. He realized he'd seen it, he'd seen it and he was done for. They'd get rid of him, kill him so they didn't have a baby running around with their secrets. "It's cute, Kolya. Nobody will say anything or they'll deal with me." Sigma threatened. Slowly, hands shaking, he let his hands down and the others got to see his white pacifier.

"Aw." Ivan crooned.

"That's cute." Shibusawa admitted softly.

"See? No need to be scared." Sigma assured him. "Do you wanna sleep? Anxiety attacks can be exhausting." Sigma offered, getting up himself, expecting Nikolai to follow, obviously.

"Up." He quietly requested.

"Up we go then." Sigma crouched down and he latched on, unsure if they'd both tip over but he was a bit shocked when Sigma could easily lift him and carry him to bed. "Get some sleep, Kolya." Sigma was quiet whispering while he tucked him into the blankets, hushing the others and their bickering over who got to take care of the baby next.

Next time he regressed, he himself chose to latch onto Fyodor's arm, following him home from a restaurant that him, Sigma, and Fyodor had visited. Well, into a store and then home.

After the they got to Fyodor's apartment, he got handed a few jingly toys and he happily sat on the floor next to Fyodor's couch playing with said toys for hours, only occasionally sticking them into the other's face and making him look at the pretty, loud toys he'd been given.

He wouldn't complain if he was occasionally handed a kid's sized bag of fruit snacks or goldfish or a smaller toy. He did cry after Fyodor tossed out a wrapper he'd been given until the other had retrieved it, washed it, and given it back. He liked being around Fyodor, despite the other's adamance that he 'didn't care'.

Interrupting Sigma's day was a favorite pastime, he liked bothering him, Sigma had containments for him to not bother anyone else but him. So he followed him around with one of his toys Fyodor had given him, holding onto his arm and trailing along whilst the other man did his job.

Sigma made no complaint, so he just kept going, eventually leaving to go to sleep in Sigma's room. He woke up to quiet bickering and everyone telling him they'd been looking for him for three hours now. He did find that rather funny, the thought of six people frantically searching a casino for a baby who had been in one place the whole time.

Mushitaro got to babysit exactly once, through no fault of either him or Nikolai himself. But they were at the carnival and Mushitaro had won him a white bear with red eyes he'd named Katja.

However both of them ended up crying somehow. He didn't know how, neither did Mushitaro. But Ivan and Shibusawa had to go get them and bring them home. Mushitaro was no longer allowed to babysit him without someone else there.

Following Shibusawa home was odd. The man lived in some weird tower place, but he wanted to follow him around. Tatsuhiko didn't seem to mind, so he sat on a couch playing with his bear until Shibusawa got the bright idea to interact with him.

Said interaction was easy, Nikolai didn't really mind it, he patted where the other's horn would be and giggled claiming the horn was pretty. It was, after all. He liked it, at least. Shibusawa actually showed him the horn and he began sticking stickers and bows to it and into the other's hair.

Being called 'little treasure' made him giddy with joy, he liked it. So he called Tatsuhiko 'Dragon Dad' back, much to the other's already flared hoarding dragon instincts. And he didn't complain getting cuddled to sleep, hair being brushed through gently.

Ivan didn't quite bring him home when he chose him, he brought him to the park. Nikolai got to go on the swings so he was pleased. Ivan actually matched his attention so playing tag at the park was no problem for either of them.

And, certainly, having a platonic 'date' at a boba shop after was fun for them both, and certainly getting to go home and play hide and seek was also fun, thankfully Ivan was good at seeking.

Following Fukuchi home was an unfortunate side effect of Bram promising to tell him stories. He'd made Fukuchi cry earlier, calling him a bitch at their meeting when Fukuchi had called everyone 'mother hens'. At which, Fyodor had been outed as teaching him to curse while he was regressed.

Bram had actually laughed, which made him smile too while he watched the others argue over Fyodor and his teaching of swear words to a child. Fyodor was rather unphased, which was funny watching five others yell at him to stop teaching young children to curse.

So he'd determined he'd spend time with Bram, nobody ever really did. But Fukuchi had begun thinking it was him he was following as he stole a book from Fukuchi's bookshelf for them to read.

He snuck off to Bram's coffin after, sitting in the bottom to keep him company and he listened to Bram's stories of Europe until he fell asleep in the bottom half of the coffin with him, both settling on taking a nap before another story began.

He was once again woken up to quiet arguments about who had been watching him, to which he burst out with 'BRAM!', waking the other who simply sighed and smiled at him and urged him to read to him this time.

Fukuchi got him a child harness and had it on a leg of his desk. He'd been given markers, water, snacks, and coloring books he was occupied with. But then Fukuchi had fallen asleep and he decided coloring his mustache bright pink would be a good activity.

Bram was propped as an extra babysitter in his coffin against the wall, laughing at him and ended up waking Fukuchi up with his laughter. He continued coloring Fukuchi's mustache every time he was babysat by him from then on.

Regressing right before a meeting wasn't uncommon now, but he certainly didn't expect to end up being in a cuddle pile with everyone. Even Bram had been joined, he was hugging him in place of Katja, who Sigma was holding onto for him.

He was happy they'd figured it out. Giggling in the middle of a cuddle pile was the best way to spend an unproductive meeting.
