#vent regression

[chaoticsnowykiddo]

Healing your inner child with plushies and coloring is cool and all but my inner child wants revenge and I'm gonna give that little dude what he wants.

[dearybuneary]

“why are you acting like a child?”

maybe i still am a child deep down inside because i never had the chance to be one when i was supposed to be.

[crayola-critter]

no agere is impure. this includes:

involuntary regression

tantrum filled regression

symptomatic regression

people who regress to older ages than “normal”

poc regressors

queer regressors

alterhuman regressors

autistic / mentally disabled regressors

physically disabled regressors

alterhuman regressors whose alterhumanity doesnt go away when regressed

regressors who dont have titles on their regresson

non themed regression

hypersexual regressors

animalistic age regression

regressors who hate regression / are negatively impacted by it

regressors who dont have gear nor desire it

age stunted regressors

autistic regressors who have sensory issues with common things in the community

i love you and i see you. you are just as important in this community as everyone else. all regression is equal even if it is different for everyone. im sorry you have been labeled as less than, tainted or dirty. you are still valuable and valid. you should have a bigger space here.

♡ how to handle vent regression༅

⊹for littles⊹

♡ gentle grounding ──୨ৎ── hug a plushie, sip something warm, play with a soft texture, get a weighted blankie, or listen to quiet sounds to soothe yourself! a popular method is the 5-4-3-2-1 grounding method too! you name 5 things you see, 4 things you feel, 3 things you hear, 2 things you smell, and 1 thing you taste! you can also change it like just focusing on 5 things you can touch, or count how many soft things you can see, or start recalling your stuffies names, etc!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ let yourself feel without guilt ──୨ৎ── if emotions are heavy, allow yourself to feel them!! it’s okay to have these feelings!! don't feel guilt, you have no reason to! you aren’t bad for struggling, and the only time it becomes harmful is if they lead to hurting yourself or others but even then, that doesn’t make you a bad person!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ distractions ──୨ৎ── if allowing yourself to feel the heavy feelings isn't something you want or think is best, use fidgets, squish toys, color, or play with textures! you can play songs and sounds too! maybe even put a cartoon on and try to calm down with a little snack!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

⊹for caregivers⊹

♡ reassurance ──୨ৎ── simple phrases like “you’re safe/okay,” “i've got you,” "i understand," and loving nicknames can be a very biggg help!!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ safe space ──୨ৎ── be patient with them!! and turn on soft lighting, get a warm blankie, get little items nearby!! make the space feel safe! and if they feel okay with it, hugs!!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ assistance ──୨ৎ── if loud noises, sensory issues, etc. ar bothering them, help ground them and help get them what they need!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ encouragement ──୨ৎ── encourage them to do things you know will help!! like watching a cartoon, counting, etc. and just be encouraging in any way you can!༅

i hope this was helpful to someone in some way!༅

Agere prompts: Trauma

tw: abuse, angst

~Regressor reenacts the abuse they haven’t told anyone with their toys

~Regressor who asks their caregiver/babysitter/playmate to play house with them, only for their partner to realize how toxic regressor’s household was by the way they play

~Regressor hiding somewhere when they feel unsafe x caregiver who patiently waits until their little one feels safe enough to come out and seek comfort

~Regressor who fakes being sick for longer to make caregiver stay (could be that caregiver won’t look after them if they aren’t sick, regressor has separation anxiety/fear of abandonment, ect.)

~Regressor who has been saved from a terrible situation, perma regressed through their recovery

~Regressor who’s emotionally attached to an inanimate object, (stuffed animal, blanket, toy, outfit, etc.) who have learned that if they don’t have their comfort item they ‘aren’t safe’

~Trauma caregiver who’s upset and wants to coddle their little one, to remind themselves that they are safe. Why can’t they? Distance, time zones, little one isn’t small, fear of being clingy?

~Caregiver who grew up always being the protector of their siblings. Now that they no longer need to worry about them, they find themselves a bit lost on what to do/ what their purpose is

Having chronic pain as a regessor is like: oh dang that hurts *involuntarily regresses to a toddler making the pain 1000% more upsetting*

[wondersmile]

i know a lot of agere content/suggestions on tumblr are based on activities/play but it’s okay if that’s not what your regression looks like! for example, i love to color, watch kids cartoons, and other stuff like that, but if i’m actually regressed it’s usually triggered by pain, stress, or something else upsetting me so more likely than not i will just want to lay down and cuddle or nap, yknow?

To ageplayers who force themselves into agere spaces. Stop! Stop stop!! I hate you so much! anyone calling you out is right to do so! Keep kink in kink spaces!! It isn't between consenting adults when you pull crap like this! Why can't you just be a decent human being for once?! Is exposing your fetish to minors and people who aren't consenting a part of what makes you like it?! You are so messed up!! Actually go die!!

C00lkidd agere HCs below the cut 🩸🩸

little

He doesn't know what he's doing us age regression

He is VERY loud. Non-verbal, but he will wail for hours.

Very squirmy. Good luck keeping him in one spot!

Either very easy to put to bed or very fussy, no in between. Depends on how tuckered out he is.

He always needs to be biting and sucking something, otherwise he starts crying

There has been times he regreses during rounds, and he doesn't understand why people keep hitting him and he just cries whenever he gets stunned cause it hurts so bad and he just wants his papa.

He will cry for 007n7 for hours, but he'll settle on Mafioso or 1x

He adores playdates with Bluudud! Even if it's just the older coddling him while they watch TV or while he plays video games, C00lkidd still enjoys it.

Bluudud doesn't really understand what C00lkidd is doing but he learned from experience he shouldn't be rude to regressed C00lkidd, unless he wants him to start violently sobbing

Agere prompts: Angst

tw: Injury, character death, toxic relationships, past abuse, etc.

~Regressor with chronic nightmares afraid to wake up their caregiver (maybe because cg suffers from insomnia, also has nightmares and they feel like they should tough it out or they were told always as a kid to never wake someone up)

~Regressor who was reaching for their sippy cup and knocks over and breaks a glass cup in the process a: caregiver gets angry with them after saying repeatedly not to use a regular glass small b: regressor panics because they’ve never broken something before

~Regressor who’s injured and have to take care of themselves

~Caregiver suggests their regressor has a playdate with another little. Regressor thinks their caregiver is trying to get rid of them.

~A caregiver with two littles, regressor A scared that caregiver won’t have enough love for them both. They either a: try and be on their best behavior and get the other in trouble b: act out to prove that cg never loved them

~Character A overhearing that Caregiver is used to taking care of a certain age range of littles which is not character A’s age range (ex: adoring how cute baby space regressors are, or how independent middle regressors are and ‘complaining’ about how taking care of A is a lot different to what they are used to)

~Regressor mourning their caregiver

~Regressor mourning a toxic caregiver. Sure the relationship was unhealthy and did more harm than good, but it’s hard not to still miss that person

~Hearing a song cg used to sing or hum to them before sleeping and trying to find a music box that plays the melody but nothing fits

~Regressor mourning their actual childhood.  All the things they didn’t get to do, the way they were treated, the people and places that are no longer in their lives, etc.

~Regressor not wanting to slip around Caregiver because they are watching other littles and they don’t want to put more responsibility on their plate

~Nonverbal caregiver who never told regressor that they struggle with speech at times. Regressor who doesn’t know this and thinks they did something wrong and are being ignored

~A regressor experiences verbal shutdown and their caregiver becomes angry.

~Babysitter forced into the role of looking after a regressor

~Caregiver promises to always answer the phone whenever their little one needs them. One time they don’t answer

Tough as nails regressor flag !

For regressors who grew up surrounded by lots of violence , anger and aggression , whether due to family , their schools , living in an unsafe area , or anything else , and as a result are rather neutral and / or unaffected by violence and anger from others , seeing it as just a routine part of life because of how common it was or still is for them .

The blueish gray symbolizes the walls that one has to put up when in situations like that , the bright pink and purple symbolizes resilience and bravery , the pastel pink and purple symbolizes softness and the strength that comes from letting yourself be vulnerable .

Free to use if anyone wants to , credit is appreciated but not required lots of love <3
