Have something to look forward to every thurday for half a year. A week to build up excitement and theories between episodes (or to yk, be too busy to watch). Time to create art about it.
My generations grew up watching the same TV show over the course of their entire school career. That's why Star Trek, for example, has such a large fanbase.
Seven seasons of Voyager means those characters accompanied me for seven years. That's why so many people are attached to shows and characters.
Guys. It's because studios have to raise their employee's wages after a certain number of seasons are ordered. They're "ordering" a regular season length amount of episodes, chopping it up, and then marketing it to you when it's finished as multiple seasons.
It's capitalism and greed. It's always one of those two things.
PS please support animation workers as we possibly prepare to strike
I love you regressors who play by sorting objects into categories by color/shape/size/letters/numbers/ect! Our form of play is normal and fun! It doesn't have to be like other forms of play :D
i grew up the oldest of three girls. i couldn't convey why i wanted boy toys, i didn't know why i wanted boy toys. i didn't want to play with dolls. i would take their limbs off and cut their hair and sand their chests down on the sidewalk outside. all the ones i had looked the same.
i can play with my toys how i want now. i can play with dinosaurs, with trucks, with dirt and bugs and food and i can do it freely. i can organize and stack and reorganize and make rows and arrays and my toys can play outside with me if i want them to.
if you're reading this as a regressor, i need to tell you that
you are reliving what you never got to have. you are processing what happened when you were too young to handle it. you are relaxing or spiraling into an unbridled, often unpredictable headspace, but that headspace is yours.
oftentimes when i’m very regressed and nonverbal i find myself using the sign language i learned as a baby to communicate! i thought that maybe other regressors could benefit from this guide for basic signs that can be useful if you’re also nonverbal when little! (image from pinterest)
💰 Always happy to pull you onto his lap, often when he’s watching TV. He’ll involve you in what he was watching and explain things as they happen, making funny jokes and observations to make you laugh.
💰 Pets names such as “sweetie”, “pumpkin” and “kiddo”
💰 Involves you in his schemes, like letting you glue random appendages and horns to old taxidermy’s for new mystery shack attractions.
💰 Deathly protective, If somebody does anything to you or hurts your feelings he will hunt them down.
💰 Not really the best role model, if he catches you being naughty he’ll probably join you or at least help you cover it up before Ford finds out. (He is a CG that will lay down the rules)
💰 agrees to playing and games but ends up regretting it as it usually ends with him covered in makeup, glitter and a sore back. (From having to sit down on the ground to join a tea party)
💰 The only time he has would get serious and firm is if you were putting yourself in unsafe situations or being too reckless. It’s not much anger, it’s just the possibility of you being in danger scares him too much.
💰 Story time is much more fun with Grunkle Stan, often when he’s presented with a picture book he will attempt to read it. But he finds them a bit boring and sickeningly sweet, so he’ll add his own twists to the plot and characters to make you laugh.
💰 Always sneaking you little treats and candy, and conveniently leaving your sugar rush fuelled chaos to somebody else. (Usually poor Ford)
💰 If you hand him a piece of artwork, a response usually something like. “Wow! This is terrible. I can sell this.”
💰 He can’t do it for too long with his back, but he loves hitching you up onto his hip around the house and carrying you up to bed.
💰 Creates the BEST blanket forts, setting them up around his armchair so you can watch movies and cuddle up with snacks.
💰 If you fall over or hurt yourself he’ll be right over with a hug and bandaids. Letting you pick which ones you want and congratulating you on how brave you are, his tough kid.
