❀ ace's blocks ❀

❀ the moment manon learns that ace is small she knows she wants to help this kid in some way. in the early days of ace being small around dani, manon is dani’s shoulder to lean on when she’s in over her head in second hand pain from learning all that ace has gone through. when manon learns that she doesnt have any regression gear and never has, she makes it her mission to change that.

❀ she gets a set of plain wooden blocks and paints them with different things ace loves. it takes her a decently long amount of time to finish the full set, but that means that as she learns new things about ace she can reflect that in the different blocks.

❀ there’s a beach block, avatar block, blocks of dani ace and manons colours to represent their lil family. there’s a katseye block, an otter block, and a whole bunch of other ones.

❀ manon gets about halfway through the set when she decides to give them to ace because between their hectic schedules and time actually spent with ace, she doesn’t have a lot of time on her own that she can dedicate to painting. even though the set isn’t complete, her baby deserves some nice toys— especially because its around this time where manon is actually her caregiver now, and every day ace starts to open up more and get a bit more comfortable with her regression. manon wants to make sure that when her baby starts to show interest in playing she has something nice to play with.

❀ manon is highkey nervous as she carries the wrapped box over to where little ace is sitting in dani’s lap. she doesn’t really know how ace will respond or if it might be too much too fast— ace has been having a hard time accepting gear such as a pacifier or anything else so it has been a delicate balance of pushing but not pushing too much.

❀ when ace sees the box her first response is “present for mama?” and when manon explains its for her, she looks genuinely confused and is like “… s not my birfday?” she peels away the wrapping paper so so carefully and when she opens the box shes kinda confused as to what shes looking at. manon looks kind of shy as she explains “they’re blocks for you. i painted them with all the different things that you like and i have more that i can paint later too and you can help me pick out what you want on them."

❀ ace is incredibly shocked as she picks up the first block to examine it and sees the ocean. she really can’t believe that manon had put that much effort into making something for her. what manon didn’t know is that ace was fully under the impression that manon was only helping care for her to help out dani. but this gift helps her believe that her manzie actually wants to help her and wants to love her.

❀ the blocks become one of aces comfort items. she has 1-3 blocks on her at all times, one in her hand or pocket and the other in her mama or manzie’s bag. when shes at home and has all of them she loves to line them all up and look at them, and sometimes she builds little towers. however, she never knocks the towers down when they’re built with her special blocks. she always cleans them up nicely because theyre special.

❀ ace also loves to show off her blocks to anybody and everybody she meets. further down the line when shes come out of her shell a lot more, she’ll very occasionally go to set for a photoshoot small while she’s getting glam done. she’s sat in her mommy’s lap as the makeup artist is doing her makeup and out of nowhere she holds up her hand with the block approximately 2 inches away from the makeup artists face and is like “look!!! dis my bwock, s special n very pwetty."

❀ manon will paint her new ones whenever she has time and whenever they go new places together. when manon finally has the chance to bring ace back to switzerland she paints one with the mountains!

❀ a/n: i love aces blocks and the manon ace relationship theyre so freaking special to me. this was all written by ray, @goodmorningfromthesunn.

❀ manon bannerman - caregiver profile ❀

❀ it took manon a while to figure out she was a caregiver, and started resonating with that part of her identity around the age of 16. both of her parents and her older sister are neutrals so the only real exposure she had to hands-on caregiving pre dream academy was her best friend and now girlfriend, sophie. the older girl has her own long-term little, “kat” and manon spent a lot of time with them as a teenager. kat’s regression age is on the higher side (13-16) which lead manon to believe that she was much better suited for a little that age and didn’t have a high need to caregive. 

❀ manon still has some experience with her own little, but hadn’t been in a long term or official dynamic until ace. a lot of her experiences with caregiving were mostly babysitting her little friends, or kat, and she never really intended to have a dynamic beyond that. she sometimes helped babysit the littles in dream, but there was always another caregiver there with her. her lack of experience made it hard to trust herself, especially in the dream environment.

❀ dream academy took a lot out of her. from the genuine grueling nature of the program itself to arguments to sickness, she neglected her need to caregive a lot. she also didn’t really trust herself to get too close to any of the other girls just in case she didn’t make it into the program. the only exception ot this was daniela, who quite literally wouldn’t take no for an answer and refused to leave manon’s side, especially when she was sick. 

❀ after the finale and the lineup was announced, manon didn’t really go looking for a little. she knew it was kind of impractical to seek out an official dynamic that wasn’t a part of katseye, and the only littles in the group (at the time) were yoonchae and megan, and they were in dynamics of their own and manon didn’t feel like interrupting a freshly formed dynamic to babysit (regardless of the fact that literally everyone told her she could and that she wasn’t interrupting at all). she figured that she could fill her needs by just being the eldest. the big sister, the one who looks out for everyone, including a very stubborn sophia. 

❀ and then ace became dani’s little. and everything changed for manon. ther first little bit after they find out ace is a little is very intense. ace doesn’t know how to slip voluntarily, so when she did slip is was very jarring and tear filled. manon saw that, no matter how much dani tried to shoulder it, she needed help. and while her place in that dynamic started as a way to help her best friend, she very quickly fell in love in with the little. even though she was a baby. 

❀ it takes a while for manon to get used to caring for ace, but once she does she is an incredible caregiver. she is always so attentive to her baby’s needs and does whatever she can to make her happy.

❀ even in the early days of her caring for ace, she stills loves the little a lot even if she doesn’t know how to approach her. she takes care of a lot of the physical labor, changing ace’s sheets in the middle of the night, physically moving ace’s stuff into danon’s room, making space for her in the nursery, and going to get whatever daniela needs (which she still does for the most part). 

❀ once manon gets her bearings as aces caregiver, she can be quite goofy with her. she loves to make ace (or meg when the two are playing together) laugh and lives for her baby’s giggles. 

❀ she’s also a master of ragebait, and this often extends to baby ace (much to ace’s dismay). she frequently calls ace ‘my little chicken nugget’ or ‘my little [insert closest object here] just to watch ace pout grumpily. she’s often met with a three year old trying to explain that she is not infact, a chicken nugget, which doesn’t usually get her very far. what’s started as a playful joke also turns into one of the quickest ways to gauge how upset ace actually is. if she’s met with a grumpy pout and “no a nugget”, they’re doing better. if she’s met with pretty much anything else, it is not a good sign. 

❀ despite the ragebait, she is whipped for her baby. all ace needs to do is pout or give puppy eyes and manon is folding hard. if ace wants chocolate or a sweet treat she typically asks manon first.

❀ manon also does not care what anyone else thinks about her while she’s caring. no one will interfere with her bringing ace comfort and safety, and she’s just as protective as dani is (but less vocal). she protects her family (including the kats and sophie) with all of her being, but there is a special fire reserved for ace and dani that ignites whenever someone poses any kind of threat to them. 

❀ she also doesn’t smoke around her baby or when she’s caring. like, at all. she knows that dani and sophia hate the smell (which is enough to deter her from smoking anywhere in the house or even near it), but she learns very quickly that even coming home smelling faintly of weed/ cigarettes is enough to trigger little ace. she also doesn’t drink unless she’s spending the night at sophie’s or ace isn’t going to be small at night (very low chance). 

❀ of all the katseye caregivers, manon is the least likely to babysit for meimei. her need to caregive is fulfilled by looking after ace and she often needs breaks from that responsibility. this doesn’t mean that she neglects ace by any means— if her baby needs her she will always come running— however, its not uncommon for dani to care for ace by herself so manon can engage in self care in other ways.

❀ at first ace calls her ‘manzie’ and that is what the other littles will call her as well. it takes much longer for ace to call her mommy compared to calling dani mama, but manon is so genuinely happy once ace starts calling her mommy on a regular basis. ace is the first one to ever call her any variant of mommy. being called that by any other little shes babysat in the past would’ve made her wildly uncomfortable.

❀ daniela avanzini - caregiver profile ❀

❀ dani knew she was a caregiver around age 12 which is considered pretty early. ever since then she has had a really high need to caregive, it brings her a lot of peace and calmness. her mom is also a caregiver, along with a lot of other members of her family, so she grew up with littles in the house and would watch how her mom cared for them. sometimes she would help out, but she was her best friend lila’s unofficial caregiver from the age of 14 until she moved out for dream academy. 

❀ during dream academy she babysat a lot. all of the littles adored ‘nini’ and occasionally fought over who would get babysat by her because she was known to be a really attentive and loving carer. because she had a higher need to caregive than most of the other caregiver trainees, the littles knew that if they needed someone to look after them dani was almost always willing. it was not uncommon for her to have one to two littles in her room or in her lap at any given moment. 

❀ there is not a lot that phases daniela when it comes to littles. she spent so much time around them as a kid and learned how to caregive really early on, so she’s seen a lot. she’s pretty good with every age range, but definitely more suited to have a baby.

❀ until became ace her little, once she made it into katseye she really struggled to have her caregiving needs met because of this high need to caregive. ace could be regressed 24/7 and she would be completely fine with that. because of this, her caregiving would often extend past babysitting. taking care of a sick manon or making dinner for the family, or really just family time in dinner was seen as other ways for her to caregive when she didn’t have her own little. 

❀ her and meimei were/are quite close because dani babysat her a lot post dream until right before beautiful chaos when Ace became her little.

❀ originally she was on the stricter side. she’s a latina mom and did not let any nonsense fly. however, with ace she is a lot more lenient and willing to make different rules that fit her needs. with previous littles, it wasn’t that big of a deal for her to say they must eat their veggies or they don’t get dessert. she often got a lot of pouting and grumbling in response, but eventually the littles conceded. ‘fighting’ with Ace about eating her veggies just led to a lot of anxiety and upset, especially considering she doesn’t eat a lot to begin with, and the threat of having food taken away was something very real that she faced as a kid. if dani is anything, it’s adaptable. she will make sure that Ace gets her nutrients, but her approach is a lot different.

❀ you can still see the strict side of dani come out when it comes to ace's safety. she does not play about anything that could hurt her baby. the only times ace sees dani properly upset is if she wanders out to the pool by herself. she is kind of overprotective in a lot of ways, but ace doesn’t mind because her mama loves her and wants to make sure she is safe. 

❀ its also really important to dani that her littles are dressed appropriately for their headspace. she refuses to let a toddler where a crop top, or even sandals that could be classified as a tripping hazard. she does however, make sure that they’re still fashionable. one of her favorite things to do is shop for little clothes and plan outfits. and she holds herself to the same standards. she wears a lot of comfy clothes that can get messy, but she also likes to be just a tad more “modest” when she’s caring. it helps her step into her own headspace as a caregiver. this doesn’t mean that she loses her fashion sense or identity when she’s caring, it just means that she shifts her outfits just a little bit. she wears her short shorts just a little bit longer, and usually wears a tank top instead of a crop top. 

❀ she does not play about her little’s safety or comfort. even during dream, if someone was (usually accidentally) encroaching on a little’s boundaries, she will always be the first to speak up for them if they can’t speak up for themselves/ they don’t already have a caregiver looking out for them. this includes online safety. none of the dream littles end up on her social media, and there are very few photos of ace’s little face that end up on her private socials. even less on her public. this also means that she doesn’t let anyone else post little ace’s face without ace’s permission (which they almost never have). 

❀ carries around a very large purse that is very well stocked with whatever she might need. she’s very well prepared in general. 

❀ she softens a LOT for ace, and becomes very gentle, but she’s still very silly, goofy and loving to the rest of the girls, even when she’s tending to ace. 

❀ dani is very cuddly and one of her ideal ways of de-stressing is cuddling with her baby on the couch. ace is subjected to many a forehead kiss and a lot of bear hugs.

❀ she is ‘mama’ to ace and typically ‘nini’ to the rest of the littles. she used to let the littles call her whatever they wanted to, but now all forms of ‘mommy’, ‘mom’, or ‘mama’ are off limits.

hi! so this blog is pretty much run by me and ray (@goodmorningfromthesunn) and i showed this to her and she wrote something for it! you can always request something more specific if you want to, but this one was super cute to me.

❀ bye-bye buggy ❀

❀ summary: meg's already having a day, and the accidental squishing of a bug pushes her over the edge.

❀ focus: little meimei!, cg! lara, and background sophia

❀ potential triggers: mentions of death/ grief (of a bug)

❀ word count: 813

It was a stereotypical warm day in LA, the dry heat refusing to let the residual sweat from rehearsal dry on anyone’s skin. 

When it was a long rehearsal day all seven members of Katseye needed their fuel- specifically their caffeine. While most of the girls spent their break sprawled over various surfaces to rest their aching bodies, Lara, Megan, and Sophia were all tasked to walk to the nearby coffee shop to secure the necessary energy to finish out their day. 

Megan was noticeably quieter than usual, still chiming in to comment on Lara’s story of their weekend escapades, but not offering up any anecdotes of her own. Among the Kats these were affectionately labeled “loud brain days.” Meg and Ace shared these frequently- times where their brain spun out in circles with thoughts that looped on end. She felt Lara’s hand intertwine with her own and squeezing gently, her best friend and caregiver always knowing how to comfort her. 

The walk she was begrudgingly forced on was helping slightly. Sunlight shone down and warned the skin on her face, vitamin D creeping into her cells the longer they spent outside. 

Megan had her head tilted slightly to the sky for maximum sun exposure when all of a sudden she heard a crunch and a squish beneath her foot. 

As she lifted her scuffed sneaker into the air, the crushed remnants of what must’ve been a beetle clung to the grooves in the sidewalk. 

Megan froze, her lip beginning to wobble as she looked down at the little bug she crushed. The telltale fuzziness creeped into the sides of her vision as the first tear escaped down her cheek. 

The chatter between Lara and Sophia quickly halted, the little hand still intertwined with her caregivers and ultimately stopping Lara too. The Indian girl looked back in concern, “Meg, what’s wrong honey?”

Meg looked up and her caregivers' concerned eyes pushed her over the edge. “I squished the buggy…” she sounded so devastated and broken, her empathy extending to even the smallest creature.

Before Lara could even respond, a lump of anxious little Mei was in her arms clinging to her shirt as sobs wracked her body. “Was so mean to the buggy lala, didn’ mean to kill him!”

“Oh my sweet girl.” The caregiver led them to a nearby bench, pulling her crying little into her lap and tenderly brushing away the tears rolling down her face. “It’s okay meimei, you didn’t mean it. It was an accident, hm?”

Megan stares at her caregiver through watery eyes. “Didn’ see him, swear.”

“And that’s okay babygirl. Sometimes little bugs start to cross the road while we’re walking and we don’t always see them in time. But that’s okay, we don’t need to feel bad.” 

With very little energy left to converse, Meg slumps against Lara’s chest, indulging in the comfort only her caregivers arms can provide. 

Sophia chuckles softly at the scene. “Looks like you’re trapped Lar. I’ll grab coffee and be back to walk back with you guys.” She left no room to protest before continuing her walk towards the sacred caffeine. 

The pair continued to sit on the bench, Lara murmuring soft words and keeping her breath slow as she waited for her little to regulate her breathing a bit more.

“….Lala? Buggy fam’ly sad now?”

….well that’s a doozy. Megan looks genuinely conflicted at the possibility of little bug parents being sad their bug child didn’t return home. 

“I think his family will miss him but they’ll be okay sweetheart.”

Mei holds out her pinky in a silent request for a promise and Lara links hers together. 

They stay seated on the bench in the cool breeze until they can see Sophia returning with two trays in hand. Meg gives her caregiver one more squeeze before clamouring off her lap and crouching in the nearby grass. She brushes her hand through the grass, fingers gently landing on a patch of yellow buttercup flowers. 

Sophia had finally returned to the pair and starts to walk ahead, waiting for them to follow. 

“Mei baby, come hold my hand, it’s time to go.”

Meg picks one of the small flowers from the ground, turning back to where the bug was smushed on the sidewalk and setting the flower down in memorial. “‘m sorry buggy.”

Both caregivers' hearts clench at the sight. The girl had such a big heart, both big and little. 

The little stands up and grabs back on to her Lala’s hand, swinging them slightly on their walk back to the studio. 

Even though she would sadly present her “buggy shoe” to the rest of the girls when they got back, she feels at peace knowing she left him and nice flower and that she always has her caregiver to fall back on when her emotions got too much

❀ a/n: we're both really excited that people are liking the au and interested in it!

Guys look!!! I actually wrote something!! It’s a miracle tbh

I’m helping Max with asks and stuff on their page and we’re genuinely so excited people are interested

[katsmeadow]

Ohh my gosh Little Ace sounds precious. What was your reasoning behind having her, Meg, and, Yoonchae be the only littles in this AU? Is Yoonchae very quiet when she's small as she is when she is big? Because you mention it's difficult to tell. Does Ace have a favorite stuffed toy when she is small?

(Also, we're mutuals on another one of your blogs I believe, I'm just a little intimidated to reveal myself just yet haha)

yes my acey. she's very very precious to me! my deeply, deeply, traumatized babygirl.

❀ the littles in the au ❀

i knew i wanted ace to be a little (that is kinda obvious), and i knew i wanted dani to be one of her caregivers. also i love the meg-ace relationship and little meg is so dear to me, so i wanted her to be small. sophia is also very cg to me, and i wanted to make sure that every kat had a dynamic within katseye if that makes sense. so that left yoonchae or manon. i know people love little! manon (and i do to in certain contexts) but all of the unnies are just so cg to me, so i made her a cg. which left yoonchae as sophia's little. so, vibes.

❀ is yoonchae quiet? ❀

the short answer, kinda. the long answer? not really. its hard to tell when yoonchae is little in public/ backstage/ whatever is because her voice doesn't lisp. you could have a full conversation with her and she might seem a little less mature/ off in a way, if shes at the older end of her age range it could just pass for typical yoonchae. her typical age range is 9-13 so she doesn't baby talk, and there aren't really any visual indicators that she's small. she doesn't carry a stuffie around with her (i mean, she does, just in her back pack or sophia's purse), she doesn't use a pacifier and any of her "little" clothes could easily pass for her big outfits. sophia makes sure she's always dressed appropriately when she's small but a lot of the time thats shorts and a t shirt and accessories. or a hoodie and jeans and sneakers.

❀ ace's favorite stuffie ❀ - WARNING: nongraphic mentions of child abuse -

ace most definitely has a favorite stuffed toy when she's small (or big, for that matter) and that is doggie.

i want to make this kinda concise because i'm not sure how much detail people are interested in, but ace hid her status from the kats for a very long time. and when the truth came out and dani (and later manon) became her cgs it was revealed to her that ace owned literally 0 littlespace items. no stuffies or toys or even a pacifier or blankie. her bed wasn't even soft. dani decided that she had to fix that. immediately. (well.... not immediately because it took ace a really long time to warm up to a lot of those things but i digress)

but dani knows that this kid needs some comfort and gently coaxes ace into just looking online with her, and her looking through stuffies and seeing like “discontinued favorites” or something like that and there's a floppy rottweiler under that list and ace just freezes.

“thats the one i had… ugh my doggie I miss him…”

“your doggie?” and Dani’s never heard anything about this stuffie.

“when I was a kid we had this rottweiler and i loved him so much that i wanted him to go everywhere with me and my mom let me have this stuffed animal for a little while… it’s too bad he got discontinued I would love to have my doggie back. oh well.” but ace sounds so sad and dejected that dani knows there has to be more to the story because ace has never asked for anything ever.

she knows that there has to be a way to get this stuffie back to her little. except, she can't find him on ebay. and she can't find him on amazon or etsy or any of the other sites that she should be able to. manon walks in on her at three in the morning trying to find this guy, and at first she wants to scold dani for online shopping instead of sleeping, but when she finds out that ace asked for something, she knows it was probably taken from her or used as a punishment.

manon finds her doggie three states away, with the seller charging like two hundred dollars but she doesn't hesitate. thats her sister. and her sister deserves some softness. she sends sophie (not sophia) to go pick him up and then gets to tell dani that her little is gonna have her doggie back.

dani washes him with her detergent over and over again until he feels soft and smells like her and its not the first time dani has seen ace cry tears of joy but it makes her heart so happy. both big and little ace take doggie everywhere for a while. he still goes with big ace to therapy, and to rehearsal sometimes, but he's never far from little ace. and thats doggie.

EVERYONE GO ASK ABOUT NOW PLEASE AND THANK YOU

[katsmeadow]

Another question I forgot to add earlier (and take your time with answering everything, of course), but is the company okay with the girls regression in this AU? You mentioned Lara being sillier when she knows she won't be filmed...Do the girls try to keep that aspect of themselves more private?

❀ worldbuilding ❀

even if the company themselves isn't a fan, they legally have to be. caregiving and regression are built into society and littles (and their dynamics) are entitled to more time off/ rest periods and things like that. but i do think the company is likes having littles in their groups because they're cute and marketable and people go crazy to see their idols either small or caring, so its a good popularity boost/ marketing tool.

❀ the cgs ❀

a lot of the time they choose not to talk about their littles/ dynamics in interviews because they've gotten some uncomfortable and parasocial and just inappropriate questions (especially pointed at ace which did NOT go well... the cgs almost killed him) but later in the timeline (like WILD era) they do talk about why their privacy is so important to them. like everything that katseye does, their dynamics get a lot of attention and people judge every single thing that they do. and they've done a couple like "whats in our bag" interviews that show some little items, as well as one or two group lives with the littles small.

now that dream academy is over, the caregivers have absolutely no issues caring in the public eye, but they're all very protective over their babies. and not just their own dynamics. the kats are very much a family and the caregivers especially are very very protective of that.

❀ the littles ❀

❀ yoonchae

with the littles on camera or in public, it really depends on the dynamic. yoonchae, meg, and ace are the only littles in the group and they all have varying degrees of comfortability with showing their little sides in public or on camera. during dream, lara tried to keep a lot of her caring off camera because she didn't want to seem too mature for the group or have MORE hate comments than she already got. yoonchae's the "biggest" (age-range wise) of all the littles, and so she's pretty comfortable going out in public and being on camera when she's small because it can be pretty hard to tell if she's small or not. but as long as she has sophia close by, she's pretty chill. she's also done lives with sophia where she's small and she's pretty comfortable with those.

❀ meg

meg is smaller than chae and definitely less comfortable than she is. she's done a couple of fansigns small (with a TON of extra security and firmly in lara's lap the entire time) and she did a couple different soundchecks on tour small, as well as a couple of lives with lara, but she has to be in a good headspace and have enough time to mentally prepare. when she's given those things, she loves it. she loves interacting with fans from the safety of her rara's lap, she loves dancing and going to rehearsal small sometimes, and she did enjoy the couple of lives they've done where she's little. she also loves showing off some of her gear (her stuffies, mainly) and the eyekons really love little meg.

she's very comfortable just out and about with lara or one of the other cgs. she loves going to the park or the playground, and will begrudgingly accompany lara to the grocery store. she can get overwhelmed if too many people come up to them at once and then her and lara will just leave and try again a different day.

❀ ace

it takes ace a while to be comfortable to even be downstairs in the living room when she's small. as in, the living room of their house. with her family and sisters who adore her. she slowly gets more and more actually IN public, she loves the beach and going to the playground with meg, but her mama or her mommy HAS to visible to her at all times if they're not touching or she's not in her stroller. it takes a really long time for her to warm up to going to rehearsal small, and its not something she does a ton.

she never truely gets comfortable in front the camera, but she does a short live with dani, megan, and lara, and sits in on one of the group lives small. but other than that, eyekons do not see a lot of little ace. she has too much anxiety to do soundcheck or fansigns small because of the amount of people there. eyekons love to see her small, and go kinda feral when she is small because they dont see her very much, which makes ace even more anxious to actually be small around them.

okay so basically, in my au, agere is normalized and built into society. everyone is either a little (someone who regresses), a cg (caregiver), a flip (someone who can both regress and caregive but they're not really relevant bc i don't really believe any of the kats/ace are flips) or a neutral (someone who doesn't need to regress or caregive). there isn't like an official test to take to see if you fit into one category or another but most classifications (little, cg, flip, neutral) make themselves known in childhood/ adolescence. people CAN become littles later in life, or discover a burning desire to caregive or even lose their desires to either thing but its pretty out of the norm.

while there isn't a test to determine your classification, there are papers and contracts surrounding dynamics. a dynamic is the relationship between a caregiver(s) and a little(s) and gives the caregiver more time off work/ ability to speak for their little in certain situations/ generally more privileges to benefit both of their wellbeing. you can be in a casual dynamic, one without paperwork, or a formal dynamic with all the paper work attached. formal dynamics are often more long term and "serious", if that makes sense.

okay that was a lot of worldbuilding, but its kinda the basics to understand what's happening over here.

so! megara! my babies!

❀ little! meg ❀

❀ age range from 5-8 ish, but can drop smaller if distressed or overly anxious.

❀ has known she was a little since she was a kid and its been a major tool to cope with her anxiety, used to drop way smaller but now is usually within her typical range.

❀ her mom took care of her when she was a little kid/ early teenager and regressing.

❀ overall a very silly little. loves to goof off and is generally very high energy, you will always find her playing some sort of game or make believe or running around.

❀ called "meimei" or "mei" when she's little.

❀ cg! lara ❀

❀ knew she was probably a caregiver when she was thirteen ish, and spent time with her friends when they were little, but was always with her older sister, rhea, who is also a cg. never had her own little before megan.

❀ she was a bit hesitant to actually embrace being a cg because she didn't think she would be very good at it and she didn't want to accidentally hurt a little.

❀ loved the time she would spend with rhea, and her mom (both cgs) and they both taught her a lot about caring. especially rhea, who she goes to whenever she feels anxious/ overwhelmed.

❀ all of her flair and stage persona fades away when she's with a little. she becomes so soft and sweet.

❀ she's a bit on the stricter side, but thats mostly because megan thrives off of rules and structure, which shes happy to provide.

❀ is often called "rara" or "lala" by the littles in the katseye house.

❀ megara ❀

❀ met during dream academy and just clicked. meg always felt really safe and warm around lara but they were both teenagers on a survival show and didn't want to rush into a dynamic but both knew that they wanted one.

❀ while a lot of the cgs in dream babysat a lot of the littles, lara only really took care of meg. a lot of the other littles were scared of her (big or small) but not meimei! even if megan was still a bit wary around lara, meimei warmed up to her so quickly.

❀ lara absolutely ADORES her meimei, even tho she's so high energy. she's such a silly cg when she knows she's not going to be judged/ filmed.

❀ they entered a formal dynamic right after they were both selected to be in the group, and it came as a surprise to absolutely no one. they're families also get along really well and they both love that they're able to be their full, true selves when theres no cameras around.

❀ meimei can be a bit of a troublemaker, even if she doesn't mean to be. she struggles with gentle hands sometimes, can be very impatient, and also a bit impulsive. lara is very very patient with her, and all of her "punishments" include being sent to the corner for 5 minutes to think about her actions and then an apology. a lot of the time she's "acting out" because she feels anxious or out of control.

❀ meimei can a bit of an ipad kid, but its always age appropriate. she's allowed to play roblox with yoonchae with cg supervision, but she's usually watching spongebob or steven universe, or the amazing world of gumball. lara knows that sometimes she just needs to tune into a different world.

❀ meimei usually just calls lara "lala" when she's small. its only in her moments of extreme distress will she call her "mama". this mostly happens during/ after a panic attack or when she's having a really bad anxiety day.

❀ meimei can be a fairly independent little, lara can leave her alone in their room or the nursery to play while she makes dinner or takes a shower or something, and as long as mei either knows where lara is or has another cg in the room with her, she's cool as a cucumber.

❀ lara is very in tune to meimei's feelings. she always knows when her little is upset and needing a cuddle, but she's also very aware when mei just wants to run around and get her energy out. they're very goofy together and lara will almost always indulge mei in whatever silly pretend game she wants to play.

❀ lara has absolutely no problem with other cgs in the house babysitting meimei. especially sophia, who meimei adores. it makes her really happy to watch her mei be so loved by the people around her. she would take an issue if one of the other girls tried to go against lara's rules, but they all respect each other and would never do that.

❀ a/n: i hope you enjoyed! i absolutely love this au that im working on and i love megara so if you have any questions about anything specific: gear, worldbuilding, dynamics, or any of the kats, just shoot me an ask!

all hate aside, KATSEYE are genuinely good performers. say what you want about their music or outfits but you can’t say they don’t know how to dance and keep a good stage presence.

[mayzini]

this is bullying

@goodmorningfromthesunn what do you have to say for yourself?????
