#upset regression

[dino-boyo-agere]

Hey little one!

Oh, you had a bad day? I'm really sorry to hear that.

There's no need to apologize, sweetheart. It's okay to cry. It's okay to be upset, just let it all out.

You wanna hug baba? That's right, it's okay.

Look, baba got your favorite plushie! Let's hug them too, as tight as we can, yeah?

Do you want baba to put more pressure on your body? Wrap you up tight in my arms?

You don't have to be sorry, it's okay. I love you. I love you so much.

Thank you for trusting me. I'll hold you till you feel better.

I'm not going anywhere, I'm here for you.

Baba is always going to be here for you, darling.

You're so lovable. You're worth the world. You're my world, little one.

I'm here with you. Yes, and with plushie.

Oh, was that a giggle? No? It's okay, you can giggle and still be sad. You can giggle and still cry. Feelings are complicated. But we got this.

You got this. And I got you.

You're so brave. I'm proud of you. Dealing with all those big feelings.

Baba is so proud!

I want my caretaker to call me “sweetpea” or “fairy,” a little “princess.” Someone that is everything a flower is, just a little bunny or kitty.

I want to be treated as a six-year-old again, someone innocent, someone who hasn’t caused harm to others, someone too small to see the world around her. I want to be innocent and childish, without the responsibilities of being big.

I love my paci and my blankie, my multiple plushies (especially my centi plushie,) but I want someone there to take care of me little a bunny or a kitten. I want to sleep while a motherly figure (my Miss Caretaker) sings me “Se Essa Rua Fosse Minha.”

I have been regressing since I was nine/ten-years-old, and I just got to figure it out when I was fourteen. My age tends to change a lot: if I am in a good day, I am sure I am eleven-years-old, or that I am nine-years-old, if my day is bad enough, I am six/seven-years-old (which is often,) but I involuntarily regress to three-years-old when I am so terrified and feel threatened, when things around me start to fall apart and the noise within my head gets too loud.

I make a conscious effort to remember my age, because my mind will never accept I have “grown up.”

And then, I am innocent again. I am hugging my plushies with my pacifier, crying like a little kid. The little kid I am. But no one is holding me, I am like a little kid in a room where all the lights are turned off and no one is around to comfort her.

Whenever I felt sad, my “imaginary” friends were there for me, but when they weren’t there?

I just wish I could be loved and looked at like a child again, it all feels so sad!

biological dada is gonna leave on Christmas to go see his girlfriends family. I’ll be alone for the morning on Christmas…they asked if I wanted to come along or if he wanted me him for him to stay back, but his girlfriend was begging him to come along

I want my daddy to stay with me for the morning why does why ibdont hic I deont getvurb

I wlways end up alone

[jackabbot]

can't stop thinking about how that whole situation must've been bonkers from Tommy's pov

like, there is this dude so imprinted on you that he hangs out with you 3 days a week, while you both have differing schedules and do 24-hour shifts — oh and supposedly he also has a girlfriend.

and then his boy best friend asks you for a tour at your station and flirts with you, and then he shows up anywhere where he can get you and ends up bodyclocking his bestie like a preteen boy, which you'd think was to punish him, but you later find out that it was a subconscious attempt to get him out of the competition.

that's not mentioning the fact that the guy imprinted on you also introduced you to his son, who is incredibly fond of the other guy and won't shut up about him.

and then you worry that you came between these two friends, so you go see the one who is clearly more upset, to reassure him that's not what's happening, only to find out that he was actually crushing on you this whole time and he is also just realising this as he's telling it to you.

can you imagine the spin all that gave to Tommy's head??

waaaa

[kacchans-cradle]

guys would i be cringe if i wanted to write a completely seperate agere fic where katsuki’s regressed to 1 years old and izuku(!!) is taking care of him, but

throughout the day kacchan seems more and more fussy for seemingly no reason—he’s already bottle fed him, played his favorite cartoons, he’s done everything. but near the end of the day as izuku’s bouncing kacchan in his arms, he suddenly burps……..izuku realizes that he was just cranky from being full of air from drinking his bottle earlier, and izuku forgot to burp him (〃´∀｀)

[little-midnight-moss]

not to be "overly woke," but I have such a problem with little!viktor hcs. not bc I think its wrong (its a hc for a reason. it isn't necessarily right or wrong), but bc ik for a FACT that if he wasn't disabled, most ppl would hc him as a cg. its such an unfortunate pattern in fandoms and it bothers me a lot.

my problem isn't ppl hc'ing him as a regressor — I think its very cute and I like the hc! — my problem is the people who are doing it (unknowingly or not) bc he's disabled and they are infantalizing him.

Sincerely,

Your Local Disabled Regressor

Heyoo!

I've been hooked on nomads recently so of course I just HAD to draw something

I know the series is pretty angsty right now, so here ya go!

the quartet (I don't know what comes after trio💀) riding on one of the turtles in the sea kingdom

I was admitedly very lazy with the outfit design and honestly I'm not even gonna try and hide the fact that that turtle was 100% traced💀

I wasn't in the mood to do ANOTHER study, which uh... probably explains a lot

Oh wow, I wonder how long that took me to-

oh well😭😭😭😭

hope @captain-juuter (the author) likes it at least💀

[peronasilly]

Last night, i thought i requested someone for headcanons about like my newest hyperfixation, and then they posted it and i got so excited and reblogged it.

I woke up, checked my blog so i could see it again because i loved the hcs so much!!

Tell me why it was my dream. I dreamt i requested hc’s of charcters.

I DREAMT IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS REAL

The worst part:

I’ll never get those headcanons back

[dino-boyo-agere]

Anon asked me:

I’m very new to the whole agere thing, but after looking into it a little i feel like I’ve been kind of subconsciously doing it? like I said, I didnt really do any research, I’ve been honestly very very shy about bringing it up anywhere.

Whenever my mental health worsens, I end up feeling so.. small? Like I want to just curl up and make myself so small and disappear. But so far from what I’ve seen people usually aren’t so negative and “miserable” when age regressing, but thats how I feel. I just kind of feel so sad and teary eyed all the time is that also a part of it? Or am I experiencing something else?

I’m terribly sorry to dump all this on you haha, I really hope I’m making sense.

.･｡ﾟ×ﾟ☆ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ×ﾟ｡･*.ﾟ.✧.ﾟ.*･｡ﾟ×ﾟ｡･*.ﾟ☆ﾟ×ﾟ｡･.

Thank you so much for reaching out, I know how hard it can be to ask for advice and I'm very proud of you for doing so, good job! /gen

Your absolutely making sense and you are not alone at all!

The official term of what you are describing is "impure regression" it's regression that is caused by / causes negative emotions.

I personally don't like the term "impure regression", I usually call it "sad-" or "upset regression" but I wanted to give you the official term, so you can find others who share your experience more easily!

I also have to deal with upset regression quite a lot, it's mainly caused by stress for me aswell.

The AgeRe community has this issue (like most online communities) that it often tries to only show the happy times. All positivity and smiles and playing. But regression can be messy. It can be upsetting and scary. It can feel debilitating.

Just know that you are not broken. You aren't "doing regression wrong" and it's not your fault you feel this way!!

Regression is a form of therapy and can be a trauma response, those things aren't meant to be "just happy". They exist to help you process and work through your feelings, all your feelings. That also means the negative ones.

I'll link some sources to maybe help you (and anyone else who needs it) to understand the process of regression, especially upset regression:

What is regression in general, why do people do it and what is it for?

What is upset regression specifically?

Why we move away from the former term of "impure regression"?

I wasn't able to edit the ask, after sending it to my drafts, but I had to add those links.. So, I got impatient and decided to answer the ask like this. I hope this is okay for you anon and hopefully Tumblr fixes the bug soon!

[littleprincerianne]

maybe, just maybe, i'm reading the chats incorrectly... but something about dm-ing your former special person (platonic) who was basically your cg without the "cg" label and them outright implying that they've forgotten your birthday already whereas you're unable to find anybody new to take their spot because you believe they're the only one who ever did it properly... it hurts? am i allowed to feel hurt?

Blue Bunny

"Nayeon being the only little in their group regressed because the members were either ignoring her or rejecting her attempts to spend time with them. She ran away and was found by another gg who refused to give her back since NY told them her CGs don't want her anymore. How they will convince her to come home with them I'll leave in your most capable hands."

word count ─ 1.8k

tags ─ little! nayeon, cg! jeongyeon, cg! jihyo, lesserafim members, nayeonie runs away, she wants to become the new Lesserafim member

notes ─ Prompt by Nikibi-tan on A03

All the members were resting inside their waiting room after their last presentation on Music Bank, all of them were exhausted after all their work and were just waiting for their managers to come and collect them to take them home. Of course, with everyone tired someone was meant to regress and this time Nayeon was the one who did, she went from member to member seeing who wanted to play with her, but no one seemed to want to.

First, she went to Tzuyu and tried to get her to watch some Bluey together but the maknae was on the verge of sleep and let Nay know that, after that, she went with Dahyun to see if she wanted to try and steal some candy from where Jihyo had hidden them but she refused, saying that her stomach was a little upset.

Jihyo and Mina were playing on the penguin’s Nintendo Switch, she asked to play with them but they told her that she was too little to play their game and they didn’t want to put on a more kid-friendly game. Nay tried to cuddle against Jeongyeon and steal her phone to take pictures together, but this time she wasn’t allowed to do it and was told to go and bother someone else.

Momo didn’t let her play with Boo and take him for a short walk since she would need to accompany them and her feet were sore, so Momo also told her to go away. Chaeyoung didn’t let her color in some pictures since she had only bought her expensive materials and wasn’t about to let a toddler damage them, ignoring Nay every time she tried to get her to lend her the wood colors.

Not even Sana who is always filled with energy and loves to run around wanted to spend some time with her and do whatever, ignoring every attempt at getting her into a game. Defeated after all her unnies ignored her Nay decided to run away, if they didn’t want to spend time with her then she didn’t want to either.

Sneakily she opened the door of their room, not before grabbing her stuffie out of her bag. While roaming the halls she kept complaining to the stuffed bunny about how she wasn’t ever going back to the members since they were such meanies.

Since she had her head down to talk into her bunny’s ear she ended up crashing into Eunchae who was also walking distracted and falling, LeSserafim’s maknae was quick to help Nay back onto her feet and make a quick act to apologize. “Omo!! I’m so sorry sunbaenim, are you okay?!” asked the worried teen doing a quick check over with her eyes.

“Yesh, Nayeonie ‘s kay. But Danggeun says paw huwts, can you check him p’ease?” asked the regressed girl with a pout plastered onto her face while holding her bunny in Eunchae’s direction, the teen didn´t know how to handle that type of situation from little kids so she took the next good option.

Taking a deep breath Eunchae extended her hand and in a calm voice said, “How about we take your buddy to someone who knows more? I know exactly who can help” She finished with an encouraging smile and took Nayeon’s hand into hers, going towards Le Sserafim’s waiting room.

—

Nayeonie was getting a little impatient at Eunchae just roaming the halls, Danggeun kept telling her that his paw hurt and needed attention soon. “Unnie…” muttered Nay tugging at Eunchae's hand but she wasn't heard, so with a little more energy she tried again.

“Eunchae unnie! We almost there?” asked the toddler with a pout plastered on her face, chuckling the teen opened the door by her side, “We’re here, welcome to Le Sserafim's waiting room” presented Eunchae with open arms.

Inside Yunjin and Kazuha were recording some videos in a corner, Sakura sat on the couch knitting something to relax and Chaewon was practicing some point choreo in front of a mirror. Everyone was so immersed in their things but they turned around when they heard that their maknae was talking with someone apart from them, and a somewhat strange voice made herself present.

Saying that they were surprised was an understatement, having one of their most liked sunbaenim in their waiting room was a huge deal, they quickly gained their composure back and properly greeted Nayeon into their room with a “Annyeonghaseyo sunbaenim, we’re so delighted to have you visit. We just hope that our Eunchae didn’t make you feel like you had to come and didn’t have a say in it” coming from Chaewon while giving side eye to the maknae.

“Chaewon unnie!! I didn’t pressure her into coming to the waiting room, she came on her own accord,” responded Eunchae defending herself, which resulted in a little argument between both parties accusing each other of anything that came to mind, but the fight was broken by tiny giggles coming from the toddler.

“Unnies so funny! Yous so silly!” giggled out Nay while clapping at the little show that had just taken place, after the comment she made all the other girls got quite confused.

“See unnies! I brought her here because she was roaming the halls all alone and…” said Eunchae with a pout plastered on her face but was interrupted by Nay, “Danggeun-ie got huwts and Manchae Unnie say yous hewp” whined the toddler imitating Eunchae's pout.

The first one to react was Chaewon, she started throwing out orders to each member about how to solve the situation. “Yunjin-ah, take care of Nayeon sunbaenim’s buddy, Zuha you offer her some snacks, and Kura unnie please keep an eye on her. For Eunchae I got a special task” ordered the leader getting everyone to do as told quickly.

“What about me unnie, what am I gonna do?” asked Eunchae excited to know what amazing task she'd have, “You are taking me to where you found her to find their waiting room,” said Chaewon going towards the door and waiting for the maknae to follow her.

“But wouldn't it be easier to just ask some staff where is it? Rather than to have to search for it?” questioned Eunchae not understanding why Chaewon wanted to make it more difficult. “Of course it would be easier but regarding the state that Nayeon sunbaenim is in I'm sure that her members would want to keep this a little bit more private” explained Chaewon urging Eunchae to walk out.

Once both girls were gone the rest of Le Sserafim sprung into action, thankfully Nayeon was happy to sit beside Sakura while she knitted eating the snacks and juice they gave her, meanwhile, Yunjin unnie was tending to Danggeun’s hurt paw.

“So sunbaenim…” started Kura, “No s’baenim, am Nayeonnie” corrected Nay, “Nayeonnie, can you tell unnie why were you roaming the halls all alone? Did you get separated from your unnies?” proved Kura trying to find the reason behind her sudden presence.

“What you doin’ Kura unnie? It wooks fluffy, can Nayeonnie touch it?” asked Nay already reaching for the piece Sakura was knitting, “I’m making a beanie for Kazuha since she asked me to make it for her, and it is fluffy, I chose the best yarn so she will love it” explained the elder letting the toddler ran her fingers through the yarn.

“Now, can unnie know why were you all alone? I’m sure it’s scary to be all alone and not know anyone” reasoned Sakura in hopes of getting an answer from the toddler since her previous attempt had been proven futile.

“Nayeonnie ran away, unnies are big meanies. No pway wif me and say go ‘way, leave us alone. So me an’ Danggeun was walkin’ til Manchae unnie crashed and huwt him” explained the toddler playing with her fingers in hopes of not being scolded by her escapade. Surprisingly she wasn’t scolded, on the contrary, she was given lots of attention from the beautiful unnies.

–

A couple of minutes later came Chaewon thru the door followed by Eunchae and the rest of Twice, as soon as Jihyo’s eyes were set on Nayeon she ran toward the toddler and checked her over for any damage, when she made sure Nay was okay the lecture began.

“Im Nayeon!! Why would you get out of our dressing room?! Something bad could have happened to you!!” said an exasperated Jeongyeon a little upset at what Nay had just pulled.

The toddler got mad at how her CGs were berating her over her crusade, but weren’t they the ones who told her to scram and get away, she was following instructions, wasn’t she? “An’ why you cawe?! You told Yeonie to go ‘way, so me go ‘way!!” was the thing that Nay yelled before going back to where Sakura was and snuggling the arm of the Japanese woman.

Judging by the way that Nayeon was clinging to Sakura’s arm and how Eunchae was giving them the stink eye and murmuring how they should keep Nayeon from making the toddler upset, Jihyo knew that getting the toddler back would not go without a fight, and she was right, Nay let her CG know that she wasn’t going back home since she was extremely mad at them and how she was staying with her Serafim unnies.

So Jeongyeon knew what she needed to do to get the toddler going with them back home, they needed to bribe her or else she wasn’t ever going to let go. “Hey Bunny, don’t you wanna go back home and have our own mini photoshoot?” was what Jeong came up with but was met with a rotund no from the toddler.

“How about getting to play with both Boo and me, do you like that idea Little Peach?” was the idea of Momo but was met with the same answer, the toddler kept giving the same answer to each one of the ideas that her unnies were throwing at her. But how was she supposed to agree if they were only throwing back whatever she wanted to do with them before they told her to go away, if she was going back home, they better come up with better ideas, and she let them know as such.

And after 10 minutes of back and forth the Twice girlies came up with a compromise, “Okay Yeonie, so Jeongyeon unnie is giving you a piggy-back ride to the van, Momo and Sana unnies are ordering pizza and chicken for dinner, Jihyo unnie is building you a forth on the sitting room, Mina unnie is putting Mario Party for us to play, and we the maknaes are in charge of getting everyone in their respective kigurimis and bringing all the stuffies so Danggeun has friends. Did I forget something?” finished Dahyunie with a big sigh.

“Yesh Dubu-nnie!! You gots it all, wait!!… Danggeun says that we all hafta cuddle, othe’wise no deal” was the response from the toddler, with a big sigh and smiles on their faces the Twice girls bid goodbye to Lesserafim and Nayeon promised to go back some time to visit since they were so nice, of course in company of one of her CGs. And also, since Kkura unnie promised to knit a bunny-ear hat for her, and she couldn’t wait to wear it and match with Danggeun

[bittsandpieces]

“Please take this into consideration” is what’s sending me about that anon. If these people actually did think I was a pedophile because I like to play pretend, I’d hope their course of action wasn’t just a scolding message, but of course they don’t actually think that, they just think it’s icky and don’t know how to mind their business. Like as if an anonymous message on tumblr telling me that it’s actually bad for me to play pretend is going to magically make me not horny about it anymore lmao. These people are so unserious and reactionary it hurts.

As someone whose fauxcest kink is almost exclusively through the lens of ageplay, I’d be excited to see those ideas if you ever do choose to post about them, and everyone else can kindly fuck off 💕

THANK YOU. it's also incredibly transparent that the people who send messages like that have never been in an irl kink community, because if they had any real experience they'd know there's a looooong history of age play in the kink community, even when you look at subcultures like old guard leather that we don't typically think of as involving age play. reactionary morality has no place in the kink community and it sure as shit doesn't do anything to stop actual predators

however, based on the absolutely horrible hateful messages sitting in my inbox right now, I don't think I'm going to post about my age play feelings, at least not for a while. Im not a big fan of opening my inbox to an avalanche of people telling me to kill myself because I want to play pretend in a way they don't like

[kacchans-cradle]

Does little kacchan run to izuku anytime he needs help and doesnt have a cg nearby?

i'll be honest, i love bakugo and izuku as a pair romantically, platonically and unfortunately i haven't given a caregiver/little relationship a lot of thought-- but i'll say this. in my opinion, i feel like little bakugo would be wary of izuku just because he's scared how someone he's known his entire life would react. like, he can say that "i don't wanna be around that dummy", but he's really just afraid-- although he wouldn't need to be because it wouldn't take much for izuku to guess why he regresses. but if no one else is nearby, izuku would probably be the first and only person he'd go to, especially if it's involuntary. it would probably be somewhat a big step in their relationship trust-wise even if izuku would have no idea how to handle a little, especially if it's kacchan, but i'm sure he'd take care of him the best he could ദ്ദി(ᵔᗜᵔ)

[earthry]

Papas as Caretakers (Headcanons)

Papas as your caretakers, completely sfw and platonic. They love you so much and would take so good care of you.

tw: sfw, fluff, agere, age regression, comfort.

Primo

Gentle, always patient. It’s healing, having him always willing to listen, always there to help you through big feelings when you’re small.

Sometimes when you’re feeling little and he has work to do, he’ll set out a blanket in the garden and lay out some toys, crayons and coloring books so he can both keep an eye on you and tend to his plants.

During the summer when it’s berry season he loves giving you your own basket and watching you run around picking berries and happily making excited noises.

A bit of a health nut. Expect lots of veggies and fruits. It’s okay though, he cuts them into cute little shapes and makes it fun.

Secondo

He can be firm and a little strict sometimes; he’s all about structure and routine. But he also knows how vulnerable you are when you’re little sometimes, how easy it is to upset you into thinking you’re not being good for him, that you’re disappoint him. So when you’re regressed, he’s so very gentle with you.

At first he’d just put some cartoons on and let you watch until you’re sleepy, but now he’ll sit you in his lap on the playmate and play with you. Sometimes he feels awkward but it makes you happy and that’s what counts for him. 

Loves to spoil you, buys you all the toys and snacks you want because he doesn’t know restraint. If he has the money to spend and it makes you happy— then of course he’s gonna whip out his credit card any time you make those little puppy dog eyes at him.

Terzo

He's very attentive and always checking on how you are in your headspace. Works very hard on making sure your environment and time spent regressed is positive. Of course he knows that's not always the case, but he does his best to at least find ways to help or comfort you. Whether it be cuddling you to sleep, getting you snackies, or piling you with stuffies.

Best caretaker to play pretend-- he'll play any role you want and always makes it so much fun. Very dramatic.

Makes bath time fun-- lots of bath toys and washable bath tub fingerpaint. He'll sit with you in his large tub with you in his lap and help you wash your hair and get clean.

Makes meal time fun too. If you like airplanes, will airplane feed food to you even if you think it's too silly or embarrassing. As long as it makes you happy, he doesn't care. He puts happy faces with whipped cream and syrup on pancakes, has the cutest tupperware of your favorite cartoon characters.

Will tell you that you're special and perfect and that he loves taking care of you every chance he gets.

Copia

Stuffed animals galore. You have so many! A lot of them are gifts from Copia. He calls them your personal army of cuddle buddies and gives them funny little voices sometimes. 

Enjoys cartoons just as much as you too. Lots of snuggle time while watching cartoons and happily sipping on juice together-- him from a juice box and yours from a sippy cup or a bottle (whichever you prefer). 

Always very silly and loves to make you giggle and squeal with laughter whether it be tickling you, making silly shows with your stuffies, or telling you stories.

Sometimes has trouble being strict. He's so, so susceptible to your puppy dog eyes. You're just too cute for him!

Melts when you tell him he's the best papa or daddy in the whole wide world.

Will always reassure you if you need reassurance about regressing or if you're worried that you're too much trouble for him. You are not too much trouble for him, you are the perfect amount of trouble for him.

[littlestsheriff]

let me make my position on the events of arcane very clear.

well, arcane has been my biggest hyperfocus for about five months now and caitlyn is (or maybe was) my main comfort character along with vi, but after episode 3 of the new season, i'm kind of losing the comfort i had in caitlyn, but maybe i'll keep posting content about mama cait

but, in no way, do i turn a blind eye to this situation or to her attitudes, NEVER. what she did to vi was UNFORGIVABLE and shouldn't be overlooked, if she did this to her own partner, what wouldn't she do to a regressor? anyway, this is really affecting me and making me overthinking

i will continue with my headcannons and fanfics, but in no way, ever, do i agree with any attitude that caitlyn took during act 1 and what she did with vi. she assaulted vi and abandoned her knowing all her traumas and vulnerabilities and for me this is unjustifiable
