“Regression isn’t always happy.” ”Regression can look like tantrums and meltdowns.”

Yes. And sometimes regression is just angry.

I’m ANGRY that you did this to me and put me in this position. I’m angry because you robbed me of my identity and childhood. I’m angry at myself because I know it wasn’t your fault.

The agere community is super open about sad regressors, processing trauma, and impure regression—but pls don’t forget that for some of us that means being angry.

Really wanted to make a post highlighting how "mental" agere can be. Often times, agere won't be visible. Of course, it can manifest itself in more "physical" ways like: chewing onto your sleeves/ fingers, being quieter, looking more sleepy/ down, a need for closeness, etc. But agere is primarily mental, which then leads to physical manifestations. Agere can be hidden, especially when it is a coping/ defense mechanism, unlike childhood developmental regression or other instances of the likes. And so, yes, a lot of the times agere can be like: a lack of motivation to do more "adult" things, getting uncomfortable with mature topics, feeling estranged with your body, wanting to engage in simpler things (coloring, pretend play, watching movies...), feeling alienated by your bodily age, having a hard time being by yourself, etc. All of these things are wants/ needs that can be surpressed, easily or not. Most people that regress don't even know about it. Actually, most people regress at some point in their lives. Some regress more than others, which are usually the people that identify as regressors. Regression is primarily mental... something that happens after accute exhaustion, or as a way to manage it.

With all that, what I mean to say is: don't be insecure if you've got no agere gear, or if you're not interested in it at all, or if your regression isn't aesthetic, or if no one knows about it... You're still valid.

Good day to you all! :)

I still think Ragatha is mostly a regressor but she occasionally likes being the mother she never had alongside getting the mother she never had, but☝she can get stressed out easily whilst caregiving and it makes her feel guilty

Rescued a bunch of pics from my ancient photo account before I closed it

Rosaleen c. 2013-15 or thereabouts- I honestly have no idea of a year for these, but it was likely around then. Shoving them all into one last set for neatness!

I lovvveeeee when a character doesn't realize someone is regressed, but is still a surprisingly good caregiver <3

Yes, totally make your friend who's acting weird food because you're concerned. Don't question why your friend is being clingy; it's probably fine! Confusingly, stop your friend from chewing on themselves

just really cute to me <3
