💫 SUMMER BEDTIME 💫

🐞 getting to stay up a bit longer because the sun sets so much later - it's still not fully dark outside when you go to bed and you see golden puddles of light under your curtains

☁️ "aww, someone's tired, hm? you've had a really long day, little one - soaked up all that sun!! look at that yawn, we better get you to bed... bathtime first, sunshine, you've been playing outside all day! now, how about i start running the water and you tell me all about what you did today?"

🍒 sleeping in lighter clothes, topless or in underwear - feeling the cool sheets and a summer breeze from the open window on your skin and holding your stuffie close because that extra bit of warmth doesn't really matter, does it?

🌷 the sounds of summer lulling you to sleep: an ice-cream van on its last round around the neighbourhood, swifts, swallows and bats catching bugs high in the sky, people walking by talking and laughing, bikes rumbling over cobblestone...

🐇 reading or being read summery books for bedtime - stories about first trips to other places, horses, animal friends celebrating together, detectives solving cases of break-ins into swimming pools, road trips...

☘️ feeling the smile on your face as you drift off - knowing you'll get to have another wonderful day tomorrow!!

Tysm!! that's definitely the vibe I have on purpose haha, I'm the older brother of my system and I like to lean into that outside as a CG as well!! It's also nice cuz like, being an older brother should be abt protecting and helping and getting into good trouble, and that's exactly what I want!

Hope you keep having a nice time over here!!

ily regressors that have tantrums and breakdowns and flashbacks and panic attacks and shutdowns

I’m a caretaker in my sys and not always but p often I’m one of the ppl the kids can go to if they’re having a rough time and they need someone around who’s gonna be patient. It’s okay to be affected by stuff! Things happen! Not everyone is going to handle it the same and that’s ok, you should get patience and gentleness and understanding abt it just like any other regressor

[dougs-den]

Hey this isn’t really an ask in the way it seems your blog is centered around so I hope that’s alright. I just wanted to say like I really appreciate and respect what you’re doing here- I feel like a lot of ‘regressor friendly’ spaces come with hidden conditions, like only being accepting of regressors who are childish in the typical sense of the word or able bodied or look a certain way and from what I can tell you’ve really made an effort here to create a space that’s truly safe for everyone. Idk I’m sorry if this is too serious, I just wanted to let you know that I am grateful for this blog because I know if it was me I would want reassurance. Okay goodbye!

That means a lot to me, regression isn’t 100% sunshine and rainbows and so as a CG, even just making a lil online corner to regressors who need a moment, I wanna make sure that the non sunshine, non rainbows are okay too! Just like this ask! Might not be what ppl send in as often but, but it’s important!

My system’s first experiences with regression weren’t super cheerful, and they didn’t get that way for a long time, so there’s no way I’m going to act like things need to be upbeat all the time you know?

Anywayy tysm for this anon, it means a lot!! I hope your day is swanky 🤙
