#regressor! viktor

[ember-owlet]

Taps fingers shyly,,, can i request 4 Caregiver Jayce and regressor Viktor headcanons? I luv them lots and i dunno i think Viktor deserves the break nd it allows Jayce to relax with something he’s more familiar with 🥺

a/c: of course firelight! i love them a lot too; jayce as viktor’s caregiver is so sweet, this baby boy desperately needs to rest and know he's so so loved (-｡-)｡｡｡zzZ (this basically turned into a bulleted fic but i hope you enjoy nonetheless, just very long headcanons!)

slight content and spoiler warning for the series: mention of nightmares and detailed descriptions of rio when she was experimented on!

dynamic: cg! jayce x regressor! viktor

jayce had already been very familiar with what it was like for viktor to constantly push himself over the edge, especially when it came to his work

it would start with small gestures: viktor would wake up in his lab with a soft blanket draped over his back, or swear that he could feel a firm hand running gently over his scruffy hair.

there was a small, warm feeling of knowing that there was someone looking out for him but would shrug it off in pursuit of his research

jayce, on the other hand, had always been too upfront about his feelings; he couldn't identify the word for it. he knew that taking care of viktor was something that always weighed on his mind. he thought of viktor's well-being, his shared goals and motivations, just him.

it would take for viktor to truly break in front of jayce for him to realize just how deeply his companion has neglected himself, and that it were necessary to intervene

viktor shot out of bed, his heart racing against the heaviness of his breath. it was another nightmare, the mutation screeching for him to save her. wires and tubes sucking out her very life force, as he could only watch in horror. "the mutation must survive." the scene's perspective were too large for it to be the height he were at now. no, it were a memory of the past. 

the scientist grabbed his chest, gasping for air. his eyes were still adjusting to the world around him, yet nothing made sense. there was a subconscious frustration to his fear, he hadn't made any progress with the hexcore, and he was running out of time. 

his small frame shook inside the empty room from the overwhelming feelings. frustration welled in his throat, choking back the tears the best that they could.

when his eyes followed up to the picture of rio that he drew during his youth, he crumbled under the surface. 

jayce was already on his way to do his nightly check-up, hearing soft sniffles from inside the tall lacquered door, he nearly tore it off its hinges. 

he could hear... babbling? unintelligible sobs as the frail frame of the man before him rose and fell with each wave of emotion.

he let viktor feel everything that he needed to, asking consent to touch his shoulder and bending down to eye level.

it would take a while before the heavy breath steadied and the world around him came into view

jayce gave him all the time he needed, waiting for a moment of silence to ask him what troubled him so deeply.

viktor would only explain in the briefest of details; jayce had his own problems, he was a councilor, after all, and it was silly to concern him with things that have long since been. 

instead of falling into the habit of prying for answers, jayce tugged viktor into an embrace

viktor felt the compacted frame of jayce's body against his own. it was comforting and strong. jayce could hold the whole weight of his problems in his arms, and he fell into the touch.

for the rest of the night viktor was not to move a muscle, jayce fluffed his pillows, made him a warm drink, and propped himself into a chair.

the councilor's hands glided over the pages of his journal, speaking over each event of the day; he discussed the meetings, the piltover citizens he met, and the orders to the enforcers that he gave.

viktor propped himself upright into his bed, tilting the ceramic mug and swirled it in his palms to combine its contents, he couldn't help but look into its murky reflection. this time, seeing himself, he couldn't help but notice the difference in feeling. there was no disgust, there was no frustration. it was just indifferent to him.

there were no thoughts plaguing him, his mind too foggy to differentiate, it was only recognition to the feeling that he was tired. it was time to sleep. 

the younger of the two was satisfied to witness the success in his methods to calm his companion, a sigh of relief to see the delicate hand slowly release his lock on the mug. jayce would slowly pull the nightcap away and help viktor into the embrace of his pillows, smirking at the peaceful expression that remained.

at first, upon exiting the room, he contemplated the events of the night. the incoherent noises muttered, and the relaxed state that viktor was in was unlike anything that he had seen before. it was almost child-like in nature, and the way he was completely accepting of jayce's care brought his own warm feeling into his chest.

being able to spoil viktor like he did helped jayce to keep his mind off of the endless responsibilities that clouded his mind. jayce believed that it was beneficial for the two of them to continue a similar nightly routine. for now, he would not be the trigger for another abrupt awakening, they would just have to discuss it in the morning.

˖ ݁𖥔 ݁🧪Little!Viktor Headcanons!🧪˖ ݁𖥔 ݁˖

࣪ ִֶָ𖦹。Honestly once you explain to Viktor about age regressing.. he would think to himself "oh, that's what it's called.."

࣪ ִֶָ𖦹。Viktor had a habit of accidentally regressing when his chronic pains would flare up. He just didn't know what it was or called. He kind of thought of it as him "being dramatic".

࣪ ִֶָ𖦹。He loves to chew on things. Oh that's made out of rubber? Going into my mouth. A few of his shirts have holes in it due to him chewing on it. Even chewed up his fingers once or twice. Once you got him a pacifier.. it was like heaven to him.

࣪ ִֶָ𖦹。The only way to get him to sleep is a warm cup of sweet milk and his paci. He's always so fussy when it's nap time, whining and complaining how he needs to finish one more thing then he'll sleep. We all know that's a lie. But once you pop that paci in his mouth, he's out like a light.

࣪ ִֶָ𖦹。Knee pads. All the way. When he started to get used to regressing on his own without his flare ups triggering it, he had a tendency to crawl around due to him feeling unstable to walk. Knee pads were a lifesaver on his joints, even tho he still experiences pain it does help tone it down.

࣪ ִֶָ𖦹。He's so needy, wanting to hold your hand, sleeve, pants leg, anything. He constantly wants to be around you. Always standing a few inches behind you. Curling up next to you like a kitten.

࣪ ִֶָ𖦹。Viktor usually goes nonverbal, making hums or small "eh..." Looking up at you with his amber eyes, trying to tell you what he wants. His facial expressions have become more dramatic when he regresses because of it.

࣪ ִֶָ𖦹。The poor boy is rather picky when it comes to food but he's too shy to express it. So after every meal he ends up so grumpy but yet so very sleepy. Viktor prefers soild foods, something he can eat with his hands. Fruits, soft warm baked goods, cheese, crackers, and warm milk is his favorite. No jams. He hates the texture of it. He prefers jellies.

⁎˚ ఎ Arcane Agere ໒ ˚⁎

I was wondering if i could request cg!Viktor (arcane) headcanons?

•Viktor, despite his frail health, is fiercely protective of those he cares about. His sharp mind and relentless drive make him a formidable force, particularly when he sees someone he loves in danger. He might not be able to physically shield them, but he would use every ounce of his intellect and resourcefulness to ensure their safety—designing gadgets, traps, or even new forms of Hextech protection

•Given his background in science and his own health struggles, Viktor would have a deep knowledge of medicine and anatomy. He would be the type to carefully monitor the health of those he cares about, ensuring they have access to the best treatments and technology. His workshop likely contains various medical devices he’s created, tailored to specific needs, especially for anyone who has chronic conditions or injuries

•Viktor would go out of his way to tailor his care to the individual. Whether it’s designing a specific Hextech tool that helps with a unique challenge or creating a comfortable environment for someone recovering from an illness, Viktor's approach to caregiving is highly personalized. He believes that technology should be used to enhance quality of life, and he applies this philosophy to those he loves

•Viktor, despite his intense focus on his work, is incredibly gentle with those he cares about. He understands the value of emotional support and knows that sometimes, what someone needs most is encouragement. He’d take time to listen to their concerns and offer thoughtful advice, always from a place of understanding and empathy. Even in his darkest moments, he’d try to be a source of light for those he loves

•Viktor tends to put others before himself, often neglecting his own health and well-being. If someone he cares about is in need, he’d push himself to the brink to help them, even if it means exacerbating his own condition. This self-sacrificial tendency might worry those close to him, but Viktor sees it as a necessary burden—something he must do to protect those who matter to him

•Viktor would use his inventive genius to create small, thoughtful devices to ease the burdens of daily life for those he loves. For example, if someone struggles with anxiety, he might design a small, handheld device that emits soothing sounds or lights. For someone who works late into the night, he’d craft a lamp with adjustable light levels to reduce eye strain. These little inventions are Viktor's way of showing he cares

•Viktor understands the power of presence. Sometimes, he knows that words aren’t necessary, and he’ll simply sit with someone in comfortable silence. Whether it’s in his workshop or a quiet corner of Zaun, Viktor offers his company as a balm, understanding that his presence alone can be a source of comfort

•Viktor values intellect and curiosity, and he would encourage those he cares about to pursue their own passions and interests. He’d be the type to share books, discuss theories, or even mentor someone in the finer points of science and technology. Viktor sees knowledge as a gift, and he’d be generous in sharing it with those close to him

•He would likely keep detailed records of the health and well-being of those he cares about. He’d have files on their medical history, notes on their preferences, and even journals documenting their emotional states over time. While this might seem clinical, it’s Viktor’s way of ensuring he can provide the best care possible—by being as informed as he can be

•Viktor’s love and care are often shown in quiet, almost unnoticed ways. He might not be openly affectionate, but his actions speak volumes. Whether it’s fixing something before the other person even realizes it’s broken, or leaving little gifts of technology that make life easier, Viktor’s care is subtle but deeply felt

•Viktor has a special routine for putting themnto bed. Every night, he reads them a story from his collection of old Zaun tales, his voice soft and soothing. After the story, he uses a tiny Hextech device he created that projects calming, starry lights onto the ceiling, helping them drift off to sleep with a sense of wonder. He’ll always tuck them in just right, making sure they feel safe and snug before giving them a gentle goodnight

•When it’s mealtime, Viktor takes extra care in preparing food for the age regressor. He understands that during regression, certain textures and tastes can be comforting or distressing, so he always makes sure to prepare something they love. Whether it's cutting sandwiches into fun shapes or making warm soup when they’re feeling vulnerable, Viktor’s attention to detail makes every meal feel like an act of love. He even designed a spoon that changes colors when it’s too hot, to make feeding time a bit more playful and safe

•He’ll gather a collection of simple, safe materials and together they’ll create small gadgets or toys. Viktor patiently explains how each piece works, encouraging them to explore their curiosity. The look of pride on their face when they finish a project together is one of Viktor’s greatest joys. Sometimes, they’ll even design little robots that can move around, making the little one giggle with delight as their creation comes to life

•Viktor is incredibly patient and always there with gentle words of reassurance. If his sweetheart ever feels overwhelmed or scared, Viktor kneels down to their level, offering a warm smile and reminding them that they’re safe. He’s quick to scoop them up into a comforting hug if they need it, his hold gentle yet secure. His presence is a constant source of comfort, a steady anchor in their sometimes turbulent world

•Viktor loves surprising them with little inventions he makes specifically for them. One day, they might find a music box that plays their favorite tune, or a tiny Hextech creature that lights up and follows them around the room. Each surprise is crafted with so much care and love, and the regressor’s wide-eyed wonder and joy are the best rewards Viktor could ask for

•If his sunshine has a bad dream, Viktor is quick to respond. He’ll sit by their side, softly humming a calming tune, and gently stroke their hair until they’re ready to talk about what scared them. Viktor listens intently, offering comfort and reassuring them that everything is alright. He might even stay with them until they fall back asleep, or create a small device that projects soothing lights to chase away the lingering fear

•Viktor cherishes the quiet mornings when they wakes up. He’ll help them get dressed, choosing soft, comfortable clothes that they like. Breakfast is always a special time, Viktor prepares their favorite foods, and they eat together while Viktor listens to them excitedly talk about their dreams or plans for the day. He loves seeing their bright smile first thing in the morning; it’s the best way to start his day, too !

Viktor agere headcanons

Usually regresses around age 5-6

He doesn’t regress very often. When he was on the medication that blocked his powers his emotions felt dulled and it was difficult to be in a child's headspace. Now he’s doing a lot better than he used to be but still struggles to slip into his headspace 

Voluntary regressor. His regression is mostly a way for him to process some of his own childhood and a way to help mend his relationship with his other siblings 

He tries to be conscious of his emotional state before regressing. Due to the nature of his powers it can be dangerous for him to regress if he isn't doing particularly well. While he’s little there is always at least one person on viktor watch who step in to calm him down if he starts to get upset  

Occasionally nonverbal and prefers to sign or, if he’s feeling big enough, write to communicate 

He’s pretty shy and quiet when small as he is still slightly unsure of his place in the family but he is always very eager to be included in his siblings games

Social napper. He won’t nap on his own but the second one of his siblings gets tired and needs a nap he is out like a light alongside them

Not comfortable with bath time due to dysphoria and general negative memorie from that one bath with Harold before the first end of the world 

He loves to play with his siblings and is willing to go along with almost any game they choose. He will happily run around outside with Diego and Luther or play dress up with Allison and Klaus or read stories with five. He also likes to dance and listen to music 

His siblings have tried to make up for leaving him out of things by reinventing their old pastime of sneaking out to get donuts and because of that they have become one of Viktors favorite things. He also loves food that reminds him of the kind Sissy used to make 

He’s got a few stuffed animals along with one or two things that don’t actually belong to him but that his siblings have dubbed “his” while regressed 

He found a recording of Sissy’s favorite song and listening to it always calms him down if he’s getting upset 

Loves getting to have a boy childhood! He gets to wear boy clothes and play games with his brothers and be in their no girls allowed clubs! It’s very exciting for him 

All his siblings know about his regression. He hasn’t told Lila or any of the sparrow academy but he’s not really trying to hide it from them either 

He doesn’t technically have a caregiver. His regression is mostly something he does to get to have a second chance at his childhood with his siblings. The “being cared for by a parental figure” aspect isn't that important to him. He is perfectly happy being occasionally watched over by his siblings 

[sillylittleguyz]

(❀) — “mmm seepy . . .”

VIKTOR HARGREEVS HC, (bc he’s my beloved and just a little guy!!)

He definitely regresses towards the babyside ( 0-2), especially due to his trauma, and feeling left out. This also makes him a very small clingy babiee.

I really see Allison and maybe even Klaus ( on his good days . . . ) as his main caregiver, Allison definitely plays bad cop, and Klaus good cop, he spoils the hell out of him.

Luther and Diego know about Viktor’s age regression and offer to babysit when needed.

Luther still feels a bit guilty about the past, so he Carrie’s Viktor wherever he wants, especially when he’s very teeny tiny.

Five understands what viktor needs especially when he just babbles, Five isn’t a good babysitter but he’s trying.

Viktor doesn’t talk much in babyspace, he mainly goes non-verbal.

He uses diapers when he’s small cause he doesn’t want to risk getting upset when he can’t make it.

Easily tired, he’s just a little guy after all.

Unexpected Day Off

Viktor x Little Reader

Reader pronouns: They/them

Word count: 567

----

This is self indulgent, I don't feel well so I wrote something for myself!

S/n means stuffie name, it's only used once though!

----

Having an asleep little one on his shoulder was not how Viktor envisioned his day going. Especially not when he just wanted to be at the lab working on the latest hextech project. 

But when Y/n came to him with their stuffie wanting to cuddle, he couldn't say no, what he didn't expect was that Y/n wasn't feeling well, their throat hurt and they had a pretty bad headache. And because of that Y/n pretty quickly fell asleep on Viktor's chest. He was itching to get back to his project, a workaholic by heart. But he knew he couldn't leave Y/n, especially not if they woke up and got distressed by his not being there. 

So Viktor stayed, holding Y/n and stroking their back, leaving small kisses on their forehead and making sure their stuffie stayed close while they slept. 

After a while they started to wake up, rubbing their eyes and lifting their head a little. Viktor smiled and kissed their forehead, “Feeling any better sweetheart?” Viktor asked softly. “Not sure,” Y/n said softly, “it's alright, you don't have to know,” he said as he pushed Y/n's hair out of their eyes. 

“I know you don't feel well, but you look adorable,” Viktor said and smiled at them. Y/n only hummed and buried their face in Viktor's chest, holding their stuffie close. “I made sure S/n stayed close while you slept,” Viktor said softly, stroking Y/n's hair and leaving a small kiss on their forehead. 

“Do you want a drink, maybe something to eat?” Viktor spoke “I think some water and a story would be a good idea,” Viktor said, carefully sitting up with Y/n still in his lap. “Mkay, Papa,” Y/n mumbled, “would you like to stay here while I get you some water?” He asked and Y/n nodded. 

Viktor helped Y/n off his lap and got up, going to get them water, but not knowing if they wanted it in a bottle or a sippy cup. So he just filled a sippy cup and brought a bottle back with him, stumbling a little as he came back, not having any empty hands to hold the wall with. “I wasn't sure if you wanted a sippy cup or a bottle, so I brought both for you” Viktor smiled as he set them on a side table while he sat back on the bed. 

Almost as soon as he'd touched the bed, Y/n's head was on his shoulder again. Viktor only smiled and pushed Y/n's hair out of their eyes, handing them the sippy cup full of water. They drank some of it while Viktor got the story ready and started quickly reading the story to Y/n while they quietly drank their water. 

After a while Y/n had fallen back asleep and Viktor was silently reading his own book, letting Y/n sleep quietly, knowing that sleeping would help make Y/n feel better. And taking a break for the day from work was surprisingly nice for Viktor, having his mind kept on his little one the whole day was a nice refresher for him. And he'd definitely be taking more days like this where he could take his mind off work and keep it set on his little one, even if they were just sleeping all day.

🌸~ Personal Agere Headcanons—

🍡~ Self indulgent —

🌸~ Fandoms — Vox Machina (Critical Role), Guilty Gear Strive, Dungeon Meshi and Arcane (League of Legends)

🍡~ Template by — @ember-owlet

Thank you so much for such a fun template/game!!!

My personal rambles + Blank template under cut!

🌸~ Template —

🍡~ Rambles—

🎲~ Vox machina —

Almost all Flips, Pike is a Caregiver/Babysitter and Grog is a Regressor, rarely taking a caregiver role and if he does is a big sibling/uncle like relationship

Vex has a caregiver lean, while Vax has more of a regressor lean (that’s why I put them in each category)

Gilmore is Vax’s papa <33 he adores Vax so much, always giving him little gifts and treats!

Percy has moments with a bigger regressor or cg lean, it’s really depending on the day

Keyleth is the clingiest girl ever, shy little bunny!

Scanlan is also a pet regressor but more infrequent, regressing to a doggy or tiger cub

🥘~ Dungeon Meshi —

Again, almost all flips lol Chilchuck is a caregiver/babysitter and Izutsumi is a age and pet regressor

Laios is a big brother cg and regresses to a puppy, dragon or any monsters he feels connected to at the moment

Falin is Marcille’s caregiver and vice-versa! (Flip4Flip)

Senshi has a caregiver lean but Chilchuck can always coax him into regressing, the whole party knows how much he needs someway to cope with his past, they are all glad to help Senshi take a break from his guardian role

🦋~ Arcane —

I haven’t watched all of Arcane, but I got hcs!!!!

Give Jinx a break!!!! Let my girl regress!!!

Vi would be the most caring caregiver to Jinx, she really wants to make up for the time she lost away from her and all the pain Jinx had to go through

Vi also regresses but is really ashamed about it, Caitlyn always needs to reassure her and tell her how much she loves taking care of her

Viktor is also a regressor (another one that needs a break)

⚙️~ Guilty Gear

Im gonna be honest, I don’t know much about the whole game lore, but I know bits of lore

Elphelt is an age (1-5 yro) and pet regressor (Bush Dog), Nagoriyuki is her caregiver <3

Nagoriyuki at first didn’t understand anything about agere but he decided to learn more about it for Elphelt’s sake, he thinks is rather cute

Slayer is soooo cg, he definitely takes care of any little one he sees, maybe even Sharon (his wife) is a regressor!

[immeasurablesaladagere]

Hi! I love your TUA content 💕. Can you please do some cg Viktor and regressor five headcanons? They have such a good dynamic and there's so little agere five content in this world. And Viktor being a unexpected cg makes so much sense with their past with kids (with Harlan but also their violin tutoring.)

(chanting) Little Five, little Five, little Five, little Five.

In my mind, unless you waterboarded it out of him, Viktor is the only one who would know about Five's regression on purpose. Eventually his other siblings might find out by accident, but that would be despite efforts made by the both of them to keep it quiet for Five's comfort.

Five's pretty soft when he's regressed. Not shy or sensitive, just like... subdued almost. Calmer. It's a good match for Viktor, who probably would have a hard time handling someone more rowdy. He doesn't seem like the chasing-the-child-around type, more a gentle guiding hand.

Five likes to be helpful, and that usually translates to helping Viktor cook or tidy. Viktor used to be hesitant to let him help because he wanted Five's time being small to be relaxing, but eventually he figured out that spending quiet time together doing little tasks was relaxing for Five. It was the quality time he had been missing for years.

I don't see either of them as huge cuddlers, however there would be lots of small displays of physical affection, like Viktor rubbing Five's arm or brushing his hair with his fingers, or Five sitting a little closer than strictly necessary.

The exception to this would be post-nightmare or panic attack where Five would sit in Viktor's lap with his arms and legs wrapped around him, and they'll just sit like that until Five's grounded enough to either fall asleep or come back around.

Five is well-behaved 99% of the time, but he's also a little kid with the logical thought process of a savant, so he knows exactly how to be a little shit and get away with it. He is very well aware he can get anything from Viktor with a please or a slightly sad look, he just chooses not to (unless it's to get a few extra treats here and there, or a slightly unhealthy PB&Marshmallow sandwich for lunch).

Viktor knows he's weak, sue him.

The rare chance they're able to go, the library is a good place for a day out. Five gets to pick out some new books, and they both get a public place that's quiet where everyone's minding their business.

Viktor frequently has to remind Five not to teleport because he has less control of the destination while regressed and it's such a habit for him that he'll just jump without thinking.

Little Five's not used to walking so much, his legs hurt :(

No he will not accept the offer of a piggyback, he's too good for that, thank you.

[writerpey]

Omg wait, you have so many fandoms I love, ok, ok could you make like a list of characters from theses shows and what they’d be? Like regressed, caregiver, ect? (So I can send asks based on that) I’m so excited right now

Arcane, Detroit Become Human, Last airbender, Our flag means death, and Six of crows/shadow and bone

happy 2024! this has been in my inbox forever but looks super fun to do! here’s my take on what characters would be regressors/caregivers for arcane, dbh and atla. I totally wrote way more than I expected to but here u are! <3 I’ll do a separate post for ofmd and soc bc they have so many characters I have opinions on.

Agere Character Headcanons

(Arcane, D:BH, ATLA)

(jinx is me cooking up this thread)

Arcane

Vi: As much as she’d be a wonderful caregiver, she’s absolutely a regressor. Being small reminds her of days spent with her parents and Powder, family trips to the fish markets of the coast and sunny days building sand castles at the beach. She tends to be on the older side, a natural tendency from a life spent as the older sibling, taking care of Powder. Vi’s a very active and vivacious little, playing outdoors and hanging off Caitlyn’s shoulders. Loves physical touch, hugs and high fives are the way to go.

Caitlyn: Caregiver all the way! I think she loves kids in general, and despite her awkward nature and sheltered upbringing, she finds it easy to take charge and step into the role of a protector. Definitely looks after Vi and is oftentimes too concerned about her safety. She loves taking the little out to the playground and to eat at Jericho’s food stall (even if she still refuses to eat a bowl of slop herself).

Jinx: Tiniest, cutest, moodiest little troublemaker there is. Jinx regresses to about four or five years old, and absolutely bounces off the walls at all hours of the day. She’s not the quiet, sweet child she once was as Powder, but rather gets herself into trouble and feigns innocence. She loves to annoy both Silco and Sevika, clambering on the latter’s lap and hiding under Silco’s desk for games of hide and seek. Her mood changes rather drastically as well, as she can go from completely happy to hyperventilating sobbing from anything as simple as scraping a knee to refusing bedtime.

Jayce: He’s a very attentive and high strung caregiver. Looking after Viktor is much easier than Caitlyn, Silco, or Sevika’s jobs, but Jayce always fusses over the little. He’s quick to scoop him up whenever it’s deemed necessary, and goes to Mel for help when he needs another pair of hands. Jayce loves caregiving because it gives him something to focus on other than his responsibility to Piltover, and enjoys simple play with his little like story time and building blocks.

Viktor: Super small and quiet regressor! Viktor can get very young, and has no qualms with depending on Jayce for help when he’s little. He likes to be snuggled up on a couch in a mound of blankets and is also content to sit and watch Mel paint the ships that go by the balcony of her apartment. Viktor is sweet and shy and doesn’t tend to verbalize his needs, but because Jayce is so attentive they mesh well together.

Detroit: Become Human

Kara: Caregiver. Need I expand? It’s in her coding in the first place to protect and nurture. Upon her deviance, Kara realizes that even if she was made for it, she can still reclaim that part of herself for herself. She is quick to console whomever her little may be, and projects the kindest and warmest energy to the person she’s taking care of. Kara enjoys making up her own stories, and loves playing make believe with her regressor.

Connor: One hundred percent a regressor. This little guy was shy and uncertain when he first started regressing, as he didn’t know what ‘normal’ behaviour from a deviant was, let alone how to process all the new emotions he was feeling. Connor loves to spend time at Hank’s house with Sumo, revelling in the feeling of the dog’s fluffy fur and laughing happily when he teaches Sumo all sorts of tricks. Connor is usually happy when regressed, but struggles with anxiety and asking for help. Hank is always there to walk Connor through his big feelings and encourages him to use his words.

Markus: He’s one of the most chaotic caregivers there is. You picked the pacifist route in the game? Doesn’t matter. This guy is unhinged when it comes to caregiving. Spoiling his little at any time possible, letting them stay up hours past their bedtime, giving them candy for breakfast and encouraging colouring on the walls. He spent so many years being exactly who Carl wanted him to be while also tasting freedom through Carl’s art that it brings him so much joy to see a regressor’s eyes sparkle when he says yes to whatever their heart desires. He’s also amazing at comforting a regressor. Big hugs and gentle eyes!

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Katara: Is a caregiver! Incredibly kind yet less patient than one (Sokka) might hope. Katara is quick to caution her little, always on the lookout for anything that they might hurt themselves with or on. But this doesn’t mean she hates fun! She adores the beach and using her bending to splash around, and is always ready to get her little an extra blanket or any snacks they ask for. She’s super sweet and falls into the role of a caregiver like she was made for it. Katara has even sewed a plushie or two as gifts, and has a knack for settling a regressor in front of a crackling fire and braiding their hair before bedtime.

Sokka: Regressor for sure. Even though he’s a big brother he never let go of his goofy side, and it plays into so much of his behaviour when he’s regressed. He’s on the older side, around 6-8, and has so much energy he doesn’t know where to put it all. Queue him running around for hours, laughing at absolutely anything that Aang says and bothering Toph just so she’ll play with him. Sokka doesn’t cry, even when he takes a tumble (which is quite often) but is fussy when he doesn’t get his way. He’s a troublemaker, but his beaming smile lets him get away with plenty.

Aang: Honestly I think he’s a caregiver, but is more like a fun uncle than any other label. His sage airbender wisdom doesn’t come through often, which means he’s all about fun all the time. His childish side matches a little like Sokka’s constant energy, and he seems to vanish into a cloud of smoke when any tears come his way. And how did Sokka and Zuko get chocolate all around their mouths, you ask? Well, there’s no one to ask because Aang’s just taken off on his glider on some very important business.

Zuko: LITTLE! REGRESSOR! TINY! Oh my goodness, he’s the first fictional character that I ever headcanoned as a regressor. There’s no need to delve into his trauma here, but the boy is in such a desperate need of healing his childhood that he regressed long before he even knew what it was. Regresses very young, between 2-5. Before meeting the Gaang he’d hang off of Uncle’s shoulder during Pai Sho tournaments on his ship and would shyly ask the crew members to play songs during music nights. His tough demeanour disappears completely when he’s regressed and he turns into a shy boy that is insistent on doing things himself and is quick to cry when he’s unable to, for example, wrap his robes the way he wants. Zuko has a turtleduck plushie that Katara sewed for him after Aang asked him what his favourite animal was and Sokka caught him cuddling up to Appa at night. Sweetest boy in the whole world.

Toph : Caregiver! Matches more with Aang’s style of caregiving than Katara’s, but still lands somewhere in the middle. Her earthbending gives her the ability to pick up on every tiny emotion that a regressor feels, and it means she’s prepared and in tune with every need, happy or unhappy, that someone needs. She tends to playfully tease Zuko and Sokka, but knows exactly where to draw the line with either boy based on the rhythm of their heart. Toph helps Aang when it comes to letting the boys do something Katara has specifically told them they’re not allowed to, and will always feign innocence when confronted by the eldest caregiver.

😯 umbrella academy? Could I possibly request some regressor five headcanons?

Little Five Hargreeves headcanons

warnings: talk of time travel/being caught in the apocalypse, talk of bad parenting, set season 1 as that’s the one I’m on lol (however I do know about viktors name change/pronoun change so I’ll be using those)

is against regressing when he first comes back from being in the apocalypse

klaus suggests it as a way to help cope being back but five thinks it’s useless

starts to involuntarily regress and kind of has no choice but to accept it

his age range is anywhere from tiny lil baby space to teenager filled with angst

the first time he regresses is actually at viktor’s apartment when five is trying to explain things to viktor and they both scramble with what’s going on- five has no idea why he’s suddenly uncoordinated and can’t form words properly, viktor is worried it’s a side effect of the time travel and starts to panic that’s something’s wrong

a quick call to pogo and all things are figured out

viktor doesn’t have much experience with littles but he does know how to care for kids- despite what people think- so he’s able to set five up on the couch with cartoons and some snacks in non-breakable bowls because five can’t seem to grasp anything quite right

five makes viktor swear to never tell a soul about what happened and he of course agrees, he wouldn’t want their family to know that stuff either with the track record they have

the next time he regresses is after getting drunk when he wakes up at diego’s place with luther watching over him

luther is super nervous having five acting so young and his solution is to pick him up and carry him over to wherever allison is (shocker I know)

she babies the HELL out of five and he hates it. kind of. it is nice to have his hair brushed and to be read to- but it can get too much quick though

eventually all the siblings have their own experiences finding out that five regresses so he never tells them directly they just get stuck babysitting unwillingly

at some point luther calls a family meeting to talk about it- and about any other regressors/caregivers in the family- and that’s how all the siblings find out that the others also know five regresses and that they’re keeping his secret for nothing

five shrugs them off and says it was easier that way because now they’re going to baby him together and he doesn’t want that

they deny this. then immediately prove him right when he drops later on in the night

diego & klaus are his favorite caregivers but he doesn’t mind having viktor help out

the siblings have very distinct ways that they care for five

allison & luther are almost always watching him together and they very easily fall into mom & dad mode™️ like some romcom couple - five enjoys this when he’s feeling particularly small and doesn’t want to do anything for himself

viktor is the KING of movie nights and letting five play with toys while he practices his violin, and even when five shows up in his teenager headspace just wanting to vent everything somehow viktor manages to keep it all very tranquil and calm- five goes to vik when he’s stressed or overstimulated by all the many tasks he has to do but is too small too, viktor gives some pretty good pep talks about taking it easy

klaus is pure chaos like he always is. he likes to take five on day trips and to amusement parks or on a shopping spree (with allisons credit card. “she’s a celebrity she has money it’s fineee”- klaus, many times to five.) - but he makes things fun and five is able to forget about his responsibilities for a while when klaus is there, also klaus is a master at bath time which five appreciates as he finds it difficult to be coordinated enough to complete simple everyday tasks like bathing when regressed too young

diego is the most flexible with how he cares for five, he can be calm if needed or he can bring out some chaos and let five act like an angsty teenager or kid again, whatever five needs. he’s also a pretty good cook after learning from grace so he teaches five (when he’s feeling old enough) some things in the kitchen- diego is his number one call when he regresses somewhere alone and he will ask for diego no matter how old his headspace is, diego is fives favorite, and of course diego never lets luther forget it (or anyone else)

and while klaus is a close second, five feels most comfortable to be open with diego and let him in on any serious problems he’s having like nightmares about the apocalypse or insecurities about his regression

five does start to carry around some little gear as he’d never want to depend on his siblings too much- it’s mostly fidget toys, a teething ring that’s been through hell and back, a couple stuffed animals and some paper & crayons to draw or write with. he keeps it all in his green duffle bag that is miraculously always close by when he needs it

he either loves time travel when small or hates it

sometimes he likes to play a game of “hide and seek” where he just jumps to different spots in the room and his caregiver tries to catch him before he breaks a tooth — he especially likes this game with allison & luther around

and other times he curls up on viktors couch with diego and vik on either side of him while he sobs about hating his power and how all it does is cause issues (they ofc assure him that that’s not true)

he has a weird mistrust towards grace when he’s in his teenager headspace- he’s tried to figure out why while big and he’s yet to come up with anything solid

him & ben play chess together per klaus moving the pieces where ben says while ben stands off to the side watching as he loses to a mentally seven year old and has a mini breakdown about it every time

some of the only times he changes out of his uniform to something else is if allison persuades him (without her powers) while he’s regressed as she swears he looks uncomfortable in that uniform - five appreciates this more than he says

likes to write out math equations on the walls when he’s feeling big enough, they’re never anything of significance which is the fun of it for him, if he messes up there’s no major consequences and if he gets them right he gets to show everyone in the house

the fridge is COVERED in art him and klaus make together

he can get pretty quiet when regressed younger but also clingy, especially to diego, which he fully denies

he likes that diego can very easily carry him on his hip or his back or even his shoulders if he wanted - luther can obviously do this too and tries to get five to let him but the only time it works is if diego isn’t close by

viktor & klaus can’t pick five up but they do hold his hand or let him cuddle into their chests on the couch or in a bed

klaus has a secret stash of polaroids from when five is regressed that five finds and makes klaus swear to never take another one again only to ask to pose for a picture next time he regresses (“I was like mentally four stop boasting klaus”)
