Rare pare with ships? Nah nah nah, let me raise you one, rare pare but with regressors and caregivers.

Here me out...

I want more content with little's and caregivers who have little to no reason in canon to care about each other.

Perhaps a villain taking care of a regressed hero.

Characters who only ever interacted a few times in their media yet seem to have the best parent + child vibe to them.

Characters who clearly care about each other but in canon wouldn't be considered good "parental figures"

Characters who haven't interacted in a positive light canonically but it just makes sense that one would be a regressor and the other looks after them little

Characters who just don't make sense but it's a cute idea therefore it works.

Song pwease :3

Constellations by The Oh Hellos

All that's left for me to climb / To the heavens is the chasm of the night / And a matter of time, but I hear the rumble / As the tectonic plates start to shake / And I feel my blood pounding like the beat of a drum

the instrumentals and pacing are just chefs kiss

very much a pixl song methinks :3

🍭🦇🌸 - De 🐍

🍭 How long have you been apart of agere tumblr? This account, technically april '22! I had another agere account for a few months in 2020 but i got wicked stressed out trying to figure out like. what communities were safe so i deleted it |D I made this one bc i was reading fics on a03 and i was like I WANNA TALK TO THEMMMM (points at mayliz @/dragon-queen21 and then i met aerie @/sundrop-agere + bee @/bumbling-kiddo and i was like oh yeah. im staying hehe. its all abt findin good ppl <3 i think) (<- totally rambled)

🦇 Have you ever regressed in a dream? YEAH it was so nice im not gonna lie, i dont remember a whole lot except i was with someone and i was gettin really cranky and sleepy (lol. sleeping in a dream) so they helped me into pjs and put me to bed <3 it was so cozy,,

🌸 Who do you headcanon as a regressor or caregiver? (fictional or real) BONES IS MY DAD FR!!!! also jim kirk is just a little guy and i think both spock + bones look after him. shared custody of the littlest guy ever. I think sometimes they pretend bicker when he's small because he immediately is like "D: NO!!!! WE R FRIENDS!!!" and its cute :)

also. also bones is 1000000% actually secretly a regressor too. but he has a very hard time regressing so he just pretends he isnt and doesnt regress.

DATA!!! is a regressor too and geordi is his cg. he has a literal baby mode i know this. also julian bashir is a baby mode and miles + keiko are his cgs.

nonstar trek uhh Link + zelda LOZ are flips for each other. ESPECIALLY breath of the wild era.

tigger is a kid regressor too and rabbit is his "reluctant" cg. Owl offers to look after tigger instead and rabbit is like "WRONG."

Based off of this post by @bunnelbaby

Saw this post and thought someone had to draw it :3 besides this is what I do practically with every fandom I enter

[dragon-queen21]

Character: (appears on screen)

Turns out to be the antagonist/villain

Me after brief consideration: still caregiver coded :3

Straw-hats as Caregivers

requested by a very kind anon <3

My attempt at doing a sort of 'reader insert' type thing. Please spare mercy on me, for I know not what I am doing /lh Oh also, bit of a trigger warning for a couple of mentions of vent regression. Nothing to bad though

~~~

Sanji:

~Sanji would be great at playing pretend. Setting up a fake restaurant, going on a grand make believe adventures!

~If you regressed on the older side he would definitely teach you how to cook. Though he'd be very unsure about letting you into his kitchen if you were too small

~He would be the first to know when your sippy cup needs to be refilled, and each time he’d have a different drink for you to try.

~The type of caregiver to make airplane noises when feeding you and set out an extra plate for your stuffed animal to enjoy as well.

Zoro:

~Zoro would let you sit on top of his shoulders, or carry you around piggy back style. He thinks of it as extra training, you think of it as pure fun

~He'd give you little gifts now and again seemingly at random, with things that he think you might like when small. For example a small pocket sized stuffed animal that he saw on a display, a type of candy he thinks you might be interested in trying, or a pacifier that just happened to be your favorite color.

~You can't tell me he wouldn't enforce nap time. The greatest swords man has no time to deal with overtired and fussy little one when the problem can be so easily avoided by a power nap. Weather or not you agree with this depends on the day

Nami:

~If anyone asked, Nami would say that she is clearly the best caregiver in the world. She has everything under control, thank you very much. Anyone who thinks differently can expect a 20% increase in the debt that they owe her.

~Gives off the vibes of a very cheeky older sister

~A very soft spot for little you. If there’s something you want she’s going to do everything in her power to get it for you.

~She’d be surprisingly sweet and understanding when it comes to you vent regressing. While she’s not the best at comforting people, she does sympathize with the feeling of being overwhelmed, and through pure will power and determination she does her absolute best to cheer you up.

Usopp:

~He'd make a bunch of props for playing make believe with. Foam swords and paper crowns, treasure maps, and of course miniatures for any of your stuffed animals so they can play along

~Usopp would make up the best treasure hunts for you to partake in. With elaborate riddles and a fun prize at the end!

~Him and Luffy would definitely rope you into shenanigans when the two of them are regressed

Luffy:

~He would easily remember each one of your stuffed animals names, along with anything special about them. Treating each one as a special nakama whenever you’re regressed.

~The type of older sibling esc caregiver who would waiting until the adults are busy so that you two could get into mischief together.

~Helps you to come up with new made up games. Something that would confuse the rest of the crew if they weren't there at the time when it was being created.

~He’d have a hard time understanding vent regression. He gets being starting out happy then getting triggered by something and feeling bad, but not regressing from the get go and feeling sad.

Robin:

~Her specialty would be looking after little ones that regress super young. Being able to care and dote over someone would be super soothing for her

~ The rest of the crew refer to her as mama bird taking care of her baby bird

~She’d pick up picture book versions of all the things that she’s studying do that you can read along with her

~Not the best at playing along with your imagination. Too stuck up with the actual details and rules to play make believe.

Chopper:

~Chopper would probably know what age regression is way before you ever told him. Something that he read into while studying at some point in time. He knows enough about regression to know possible triggers , the difference between vent regression and regularly being regressed.

~He’s gotten used to being a cuddle buddy whenever your regressed. It gives him a viable excuse to take a break from his work and join in on nap time

-If you had a nightmare Chopper would do his best to comfort you and get you back to sleep. He’d offer to listen to what it was you dreamt about, although he’d probably get upset as well, in that case he’ll take your hand and the two of you will go and find another straw-hat (probably Zoro) for you to talk to

~He would love to play a bunch of different outdoor games. Things hopscotch, tag, hide and seek

💗 Slyveon Moodboard 💗

Tried a different style to my usual mood boards for this one. I suppose what I normally do is more like an outfit board. Hmm... Anyways, what do you think? Might mix things up from time to time.

[dragon-queen21]

I just heard what had happened to Jellie and I am truly devastated. My heart goes out to Scar. Even when our pets live long fulfilling lives, it never makes it easier to say goodbye…

Amazing Digital Circus agere fic

Based off of a head canon that I had that most, if not all players who get trapped end up regressing. Perhaps something that's been implemented by Caine as a measure to help fight off abstraction. (I know he can't technically mess with their minds but hush, we ignore that in favor of writing potential)

~~~

Pomni who’s already so overwhelmed by the world around her when suddenly everything starts to feel even more overwhelming. (if that’s even possible, at this point she doesn’t want to know)

She’s not herself, clearly, as she can’t even remember her own name, yet she’s sure she would have remembered if she’d felt like this before. Spacey, and small. The bright colors surrounding her are starting to give her a headache. The feeling of dread as if being like a child who’s lost their guardian in a public place settles over her in waves.

“Baby’s first drop.” Jax says and he’s looking at her with an odd mixture of what might be concern and amusement. “And by the looks of it, not gonna be a pretty one.”

He gets elbowed in the stomach from Ragatha.

“Ouch. Rude much?” She ignores him.

The group watching as she approaches Pomni. “Hey it’s alright. You’re going to be fine hun, just take a deep breath.”

“I mean none of us have to actually breathe here, it’s all just made to simulate the-” Kinger starts to ramble gaining a sharp look from Ragatha.

Kinger yelps.

“None of you are helping right now.”

“Never mind, carry on.”

She’s trying to be soothing, reaching out to comfort Pomni before she can panic anymore. "You're alright button. "

Caregiver Ragatha Headcanons

I don't see a lot of posts with vent regression and even less about caregiver who have trauma so I decided to write a couple things to make up for this :3 Plus I'm having a rough go at life right now so maybe I'm just using this as an excuse to vent

Tw: insecurities, trauma caregiving

~~~

~Vent caregiver

~Overly apologetic. She wants everything to go perfectly and her little one to be happy. Even if she rationally knows that can't happen all the time it doesn't make her feel any less guilty if something doesn't go quite right.

~Always trying her best to look after someone regressed even if she doesn't know what exactly she's doing.

~She wants to call her little one cute nicknames like baby doll, darling, button, or any other fitting nickname. She's too afraid that they will come off sounding forced or that her little one won't like the nickname but she's too scared to ask so she just sticks to safe ones like 'Kiddo' and 'Little one'

~Considering what happens when a person give up hope within the digital circus Ragatha easily prioritizes the well being of her kiddo over her own sanity. Often times she finds it helps her as well, knowing she has a purpose to fulfill.

~Goes into caregiver mode and really wants to watch over her little one, but at that same time over thinking that maybe they don't want to regress right now or if she's the one being clingy.

Caregiver Obanai & little Tanjiro mini fic

I blame @juicezone , this is entirely their fault. Giving me inspiration and making me start new fics, how dare >:1 (joking, joking <3) Will this be an actual long fic one day? Who knows my motivation is very random these days lol, so take these two short little scenarios in the mean time

Based loosely off of @fandom-ageredips prompt: “Caregiver somehow always has a spare paci on them, and it’s a different paci every single time”

~~~

1.

"Oi stop that."

Tanjiro whined. Taking his fingers out of his mouth for the third time. He glared at the snake pillar something that not many we're confident in doing. Obanai glared back at him.

"It's unhygienic. Not to mention annoying."

Tanjiro turned his head and did his best to resist the urge to chew on something. He had been nomming on his haori but the hashira hadn't liked that either. It was frustrating, and if it wasn't for his unstable footing and the fear of being followed he would have gotten up and left ages ago. But no he was small, stuck in between being regressed and being normal and stuck being 'babysat' by the older male.

"Oi!" Obanai swatted at the regressor's hand.

Tanjiro turned finger pressed against his lip. He wasn't even doing anything this time!

Obanai grabbed his hand never the less. "Here."

Tanjiro blinked, trying to look at the other's hand and going slightly cross eyed.

The snake pillar had pressed something to his mouth.

"No more chewing on your hand kid."

Tanjiro spit out the plain black pacifier. Where did the other even get this from? He puts the pacifier back in his mouth and decides he rather not question it.

2.

Tanjiro was crying. Shinobu almost felt bad, almost, because she’s had to put up with Zenitsu already so her patience was waning and quickly.

“Honey it’s one shot. You’re going to be fine. A little prick and it will all be over.” She tried to sooth. It doesn’t do much as the boy continues to cry, holding his arms protectively away from her.

“Nuh uh!” He’s shaking his head.

He’s clearly small, distressed on top of it, she should be treading with caution. Instead, “Kamado!”

The boy freezes and Shinobu takes the opportunity to administer the shot.

“There see? I’m sorry for raising my voice, but we’re all done now.”

It’s silent for a moment, Tanjiro looking down at his arm, tears frozen.

The next moment and he’s wailing.

“Oh dear. I’m sorry.” She means it, seeing as the teen now refuses to calm down.

The door slides open, revealing a very irked hashira. “What is going on?! You torturing the kid or something?”

“Of course not Obanai, everything is under control.”

The snake pillar frowns, looking between Shinobu and Tanjiro who bawling his eyes out. He sighs, stepping further into the room.

“You are terrible at taking care of kids.” He comments dryly.

“Oh and you are any better?”

“Yes. Actually.”

He pulls out a pacifier from his haori sleeve, deep purple and when Tanjiro takes a shuddering breathe between tears he presses the bulb to the boy’s mouth before he has the chance to start sobbing again.

“Where did you…? Why…? Nevermind.” Shinobu shakes her head. Best not to question what works.

It takes a few moments for Tanjiro to register the soother. His tears slow as the hashira awkwardly rubs his back. “Breathe kid. It’s over. She’s not going to hurt you anymore.”

Shinobu took offense but decided not to comment and risk upsetting the mentally younger teen who’s now decided to cling to the older male.

“Looks like you have everything under control then.” She gathers up her things with a bow. “I leave him to you.”

“Wait a second! I didn’t sign up for this! I just wanted to get some peace. Shinobu!”

[dragon-queen21]

I need agere content with spider Noir. He’s my favorite and I think he’s the best and he would be such a good father/older brother figure to look after someone regressed. So I've thought up a couple prompts that I feel like sharing to perhaps inspire some people. :3 (Also cause these ideas will simply keep bouncing around in my brain if I don't do something about them)

1. Peni regressing and Noir doing his best to take care of her the way he grew up. Which meant no electronics much to the little’s dismay.

Instead they make homemade ice cream and play board games together. Perhaps listening to old songs and dancing around the living room. So just kinda showing the girl that you don’t necessarily need to rely on technology to have a good time.

Showing her a bunch of things she ever had a chance to do in her childhood, that seem relatively simple to him. Maybe in turn she shows her cg a bunch of new things as well.

2. A real simple one but Noir coloring with Miles.

With the artist regressed it's much more enjoyable for him to let go with his art and not have to have every detail perfect, and considering Noir isn't the best when it comes to distinguishing color, Miles really doesn't have to worry about the quality of work to begin with. Noir is so proud of his kiddo, and like any proud parent is going to show off to the world. The world being Miguel's office area in order to mess with the older spider man when he walks in and sees that his walls are covered in colorful pictures.

3. Pav being babysat by Noir. Noir not feeling the best mentally, maybe it’s a bit of an off day, not to bad that he can’t look after Pav, he’s just not having the best time ever. Pav noticing and decides to draw Noir a fun picture to cheer him up. Perhaps he even shares his stuffed bear that Gayrti gave him because it always cheers him up when he feels soggy. (I’m just soft for little one taking care of their caregiver, kinda a reverse dynamic, idk)

Another idea is him fretting over Noir and rushing to get bandaids and puts at least a dozen all over Noir because that's what Hobie does for him when he gets an ouchie in order to feel better, and it always works.

Whooo! My first agere fic for One Piece + my first fic in over 5 months! Double points XD

If you prefer you can read it here on ao3

Summary: In which 3 regressors try to sneak into Sanji's kitchen to achieve desserts before they are supposed too.

No trigger warnings, just fluff

The goal of the afternoon was an 'impossible' task.

Sneak into the kitchen before dinner and obtain treats without getting caught.

Sounded simple enough until they remembered Sanji's firm rule of 'no spoiling your appetite before dinner' that seemed to always be reinforced whenever the ship's cook knew that one of his nakama was regressed. Hence the part about not getting caught.

Nami swore that it was a rule that Bell-mère always had for her and her sister when they were kids. Usopp and Luffy agreed that it’s just the cook’s way of being cruel to them specifically.

So how exactly was the trio going to pull this off? Luffy was already on a permanent ban from the kitchen area unless it was specifically time to eat. Usopp couldn't be trusted to convince Sanji that he wasn't small, and Nami, well she was their last hope of obtaining junk food.

The plan was simple.

Step 1 have Nami go into the kitchen first and see if she couldn't just get Sanji to hand over treats to her. This usually worked out well for the three regressor’s, with them betting on Sanji being a pushover whenever it came to Nami.

Step 2 well... They didn't exactly have a plan after that. If that failed the three were going to resort to good ol' fashioned, snatch and run.

“What are you three up to?” Zoro asked, towering above where the three were huddled together in a circle conspiring.

“Uh, nothin’?” Usopp said at the same time as Luffy exclaimed, “We’re gonna be getting treats!”

“Suush! Yous not ‘possed to say anythin!” Nami hissed, ever the temper even when regressed.

Zoro debated for a half a second trying to get the littles to leave Sanji alone. Perhaps even distracting them for a while so that Sanji could finish dinner in peace. Then he realized that he wasn’t really in the mood to deal with three troublesome kids, and if they were antagonizing the blonde then they couldn’t be pestering him.

“Good luck.” Was all he said before turning away.

They were Sanji’s problems now. Not his.

~~~

And so, the plan was set, with Luffy and Usopp waiting outside of the kitchen for Nami.

The ship’s cook was working on dinner prep. Making something that Nami couldn’t quite place. It smelled really good though.

“Sanji-kun?” Nami tugs on his sleeve in order to get the mentally older’s attention.

“Yes dumpling?”

“Can help?”

“I don’t know about that; I think someone might be too small.”

She pouted. “But I wanna.”

“How about you watch instead baby?”

She nods, letting the cook pick her up and place her on the counter to watch him work. Nami hummed, kicking her legs back and forth against the counter. Sanji didn’t pay much attention to her after that, working instead on food, not that the little minded. A feeling of warmth spread in her chest, being reminded of watching Bell-mère cook for her and her sister when they were kids.

She was content to sit there in the kitchen watching Sanji work and daydreaming about the past until she saw two pouting faces peaking from around the kitchen door. Right, she had a job to complete.

“Sanji, can I has cookies?” She made grabby hands towards the jar that she knew held the sought after treats.

Sanji gave her a look.

“Was that really all you came in for all along?” He almost sound disappointed.

She didn’t grace him with an answer other than a, “Pwease?” and a small pout that she knew 9 times out of 10 worked on him,

Sanji sighed. “If I give in, are you going to want to eat dinner?”

“Mhm!” She nodded.

“Right, I suppose spoiling my sweet princess can’t hurt too much.” Sanji looked up just in time to see a certain straw hat peeking from around the kitchen door, accompanied by giggles coming from what he could only assume were the two other regressor’s on board. “And what about Luffy and Usopp?”

“Umm don’ know what chu talking ‘bout.” Nami giggled, the perfect picture of innocence.

Sanji grabbed a chocolate chip cookie out of the jar, holding it just out of the girl’s reach. “Uh huh, sure you don’t.”

“Nope!” And with that she snatched the cookie from his hand and ran from the kitchen, shouting ‘freedom!’ as she did so.

Sanji could only sigh listening to the appalled gasps of Usopp and Luffy upon finding out that Nami didn’t get anything for them.

“Come on you two, get in here.” He spoke loud enough for the other two to hear him, already picturing the two little’s sulking outside. A situation that he wasn’t in the mood to put up with.

Sure enough Sanji was right. Usopp was pouting, half hiding behind Luffy who looked to be in a sour mood. “How come we don’t get something?”

“Serves you two right for trusting the cat burglar.” He states, and really, the two of them should have learned this by now.

“You like Nami more.” His captain accused.

“Oh hush. You don’t know anything.” Sanji said, handing the two regressor’s a cookie each, watching them both gasp. He shook his head fondly at the two, as if he didn’t spoil them rotten already. “Don’t expect me to do this for you all the time.” It’s a lie and they all know it. He’s soft for the three.

Still the two nod ever so seriously as they munch on their treats.

“Dinner’s going to be ready soon. Go bother Zoro until then.” He guides the regressors out of the kitchen, before Luffy can get any ideas about sampling the still cooking food.

Regressor Tanjiro & caregiver Tengen vent hc’s

Tw: vent post, injuries, just overall angst

~~~

~The first time Tanjiro vent regressed he showed up and Tengen’s door covered in blood and dirt after a mission and Tengen was ready to go out and throw hands at whoever hurt the boy. It was only after his wives pointed out to him that going out and looking for a fight would in fact not calm the baby down and would probably do more harm than good.

~Little Tanjiro who can’t tolerate any pain, what so ever. Tiny paper cut? He’s going to start bawling. Stubbed toe? It’s the end of the world actually. The only thing that will calm him down is multiple very colorful bandages and a plethora of kisses peppered onto his skin.

~Worried that none of his friends actually like him. Scared that he’s being a nuisance and despite him coming over to Tengen’s more times than not after a mission and the man explaining that he loves to watch over him he still thinks he isn’t worth it.

~It breaks his caregiver’s heart to hear his sweet boy crying and talking so horribly about himself but telling him to stop is somehow worse because if Tanjiro doesn’t vent now he won’t say anything to anyone and keep everything bottled up.

~Tengen’s found out through trial and error that the best and simplest thing to calm Tanjiro down it to walk around with the boy in his arms. Just softly bouncing him and rambling about everything and nothing till the teen can focus again on his words

~Tanjiro doesn’t sleep well without others in the room. He grew up snuggling with his siblings and now travels with three others who have no concept of personal space. This only gets worse when he’s small feeling too lonely to fall asleep.

~Tengen who refuses to let Tanjiro sleep in his and his wives room. Nope. Doesn’t matter how small Tanjiro is regressed- it’s not happening. They have a guest room for a reason. Or at least that’s what Tengen tried to enforce. It only took about two nights of no sleep due to Tanjiro waking up screaming and crying from nightmares subsequently waking up the whole household and leading no one to get any sleep, plus his wives to express their utmost disappointment for the man to bring the little one’s futon into their room.

[dragon-queen21]

Little Sanji + Caregiver Nami headcanons

Requested by anon

I genuinely love Sanji and Nami’s dynamic they are always fun to write for :3

~~~

~I stand by the fact that Sanji probably has the best relationship with the girls while regressed due to memories of his mom when he was younger

~Nami being able to do the most simple thing and having the boy’s whole face light up as though she personally hung the stars for him. Although she partially understands, it still baffles her everytime

~Sanji who’s not used to small acts if basic kindness so the most simple thing like getting him something to drink or spending time making him lunch when he is unable too makes his whole day and ends up having him stay regressed longer than he would be normally.

~Finding out about this you can’t tell me Nami (or really any of the other straw-hats) wouldn’t use this to their advantage when the cook clearly needs a break and won’t allow himself one

~Nami helping him make beaded bracelets and necklaces and other pretty arts and crafts that he gifts to the other crewmates

~Nami tries to get him to play with Usopp and Luffy if they are regressed but if Sanji’s too small too many bad memories start cropping up

~Calls her ‘ami’ Nami’s not sure if it’s him unable to pronounce ‘mommy’ correctly (‘ommy) or her name

~Some of her practice maps end up with little doodles and hearts drawn over them in the margins, something the navigator would only ever allow when he’s small

~ ‘Helping’ her plan shopping trips to the next islands. He doesn’t understand the budgeting that she does, but he helps by picking out fun colored pencils for her to use while making lists and rambling about all the fun places they could go once they reach land. If Nami’s plans just so happen to now include visiting a toy store after, well, no one has to know except her and Sanji
