You can call me Blue or Pebble!
This was a blog I’d honestly complete forgot I had until very recently. I wanted
Here’s a link to my introductory post in Cozy Cafe! I’ll make another actual intro post later when I’m less tired 😊
Pls stay safe and be kind to yourself!
An extra addition to my intro. If you support ice or trump do not interact with me. No racism, transphobia, ableism, or anything like that. Tired of people being butts to put it in a polite way.
Gn!Reader who is isekai'd into a classification AU - Part Two
A/N: thank you for all the love on the first part! I know it's a cliche, but I didn't expect anyone to care, haha. Also a cliche, but I genuinely didn't think I was one of those people who gets motivated by people liking their stuff...but here we are ;)
Reader is breathless and wheezing by the time they feel that they’ve sufficiently escaped the two strange adults. It’s almost entirely dark outside now—the streetlights have switched on, filling the empty road with a warm glow—and becoming colder by the minute as the sun dips below the horizon. Reader shivers once they’ve caught their breath, the warmth from their mad dash quickly dissipating, and clutches their dirty jacket close to their body.
As they continue to walk, they turn the day’s events over in their mind, and it soon dawns on them that wherever they are, it’s not home. This city may resemble their home, but something is wrong—and it’s not just that their physical house is nowhere to be found or that none of the names of anything looked familiar, despite physically being familiar.
So, Reader thinks, trying to ignore the frigid air nipping at their fingers, I’m either in a really weird city on the other side of the woods that I never knew existed and which never showed up on any maps, or I’m in some sort of alternate dimension. Neither option seems plausible, but one is far easier to fix than the other; just find a place to charge their phone and book a car ride home.
Yes, Reader considers as they come across a warmly-lit cafe with a late closing time advertised on the door, find a place to charge my phone and then get home. With shaking, shivering hands, they pull the door open and are immediately greeted with a warm gust of air on their face that instantly works to thaw their aching body.
There’s only two other customers in the cafe; an older man intently tap-tapping away on a laptop, sat in a plush armchair in the corner with a half-eaten scone on a ceramic plate next to him, and a young woman thumbing through a book, nursing a cup of something steaming. Taking a breath to steady themself, Reader nervously treads to the counter. The short-haired barista catches Reader’s eye, and she smiles, though there’s a strange, almost confused quality to her expression.
“Hi,” Reader starts, fidgeting with their hands. “I’m so sorry, this is sorta weird but—do you happen to have a phone charger I could borrow for a little bit? I just–it’s dead and I don’t have any other way to get home, you know?”
The barista, whose shiny nametag reveals her as Angela, blinks for a moment as she processes. “Um, yeah! Of course. I’ll, uh, go grab one from the back. There’s an outlet at that table there,” she points to a table in the back of the cafe, nestled in a cosy corner with a couch and chair next to it, “if you want to wait there while I get it?”
“Oh my gosh, thank you so, so much!” Reader says earnestly, genuinely relieved. They settle on the couch next to the outlet, sinking into the squishy cushions. It’s only until after they’ve sat down that they realize just how tired they are; their feet ache from all the walking and despite it still being relatively early in the evening, they feel as though they could fall asleep right then and there.
The faint clatter of a plate has Reader’s eyes shooting open—wait, when did they close them? They blink, rubbing their eyes before plastering an apologetic expression on their face as they look up to face the barista now in front of them.
“I found a charger,” Angela says, holding up a cable and block with a smile. “Will this work with your phone?”
Reader pulls out their phone and takes the cord, thankful when the charging bit fits in their phone’s charging port, and plugs the block into the wall with a grateful smile.
“Oh, and I brought you a little something!” Angela says, gesturing to the plate in front of them. It’s a large muffin—raspberry, by the looks of it—with a perfectly-browned streusel topping and polka-dotted wrapper. Reader’s mouth waters just looking at it, but they hold themself back.
“I don’t have any money on me, I’m sorry!” They exclaim, biting their lip, but Angela just shakes her head.
“Don’t worry, it’s on the house.” She says, waving a hand. “Also, if you want to call someone while your phone charges, you’re free to use mine. You seem like you want to be home sooner rather than later, no?” Her tone is friendly, but there’s an underlying implication in her words that Reader can’t entirely parse out.
“Ah—no, but thank you for the offer. I’m just going to book a ride home once my phone turns back on. ‘Sides, I don’t really…have anyone to call,” they admit, unsure as to why they’re being so open with a stranger in the first place; maybe it’s because they’re so tired, or because Angela seems so nice, so soothing, and she smells very much like lavender and it’s very relaxing…
Angela’s eyes are wide. “No one?” She asks, voice low and concerned in a way that has Reader shifting uncomfortably.
“I mean—not no one, I guess, but I don’t think any of my friends are available right now, you know?” Reader tries to amend the situation; for some reason, there’s this insurmountable urge to make her happy and unconcerned again that’s clawing at their insides. Just seeing her frowning lips and drawn eyebrows makes Reader want to cry.
“I’m sorry, I really don’t mean to pry, but…don’t you have, like, a caregiver?”
There’s that word again. Caregiver. Hearing it again should freak Reader out more than it does, but at the moment, they’re just confused and too tired to be scared. The cafe is warm, and Angela is nice, and she hardly seems like a creep.
“What do you mean by that?” Reader asks evenly, though that familiar feeling of wrongness has started its swirl in their stomach again. “What’s, um, a caregiver?”
If her eyes were wide before, it’s nothing compared to how they are now. Her mouth opens and closes for a half-second, chin moving like a fish. “Are you—” she stops herself, the crease between her eyebrows deepening as she pauses. “Oh my god, you’re not joking. Oh, oh, honey. Where on earth do you live? How did that even—I mean, surely someone—…wait here. I’ll be right back.” Angela wastes no time to hurry behind the counter and into the backroom, door swinging shut behind her.
Both of the other cafe patrons look up at the barista’s outburst, confused, before zeroing in on Reader as the cause. Reader stares back at them, wide-eyed, and raises their hands palms-up to signal their shared confusion.
Just as the two patrons return to their previous activities, Reader’s phone buzzes with life; good timing—they really, really want to get home, and preferably soon. But as they open their newly revived cell phone, another problem quickly makes itself known: no service. What a total piss off, because Reader knows they paid for the unlimited plan. Luckily, the cafe has free wifi, and Reader’s soon reconnected to the sweet, sweet internet. Breathing a sigh of relief, they open Maps.
Nothing loads. The entire digital world is infuriatingly grey and no amount of zooming in and out has any effect.
Where am I?
“Hey, kiddo,” a gentle voice sounds, startling Reader from their thoughts. It’s a man, on the shorter side, also donning a barista apron; his silver nametag says JJ.
“Um, hi,” Reader responds, too distracted to notice the nickname.
“Can I sit with you?” JJ asks, gesturing to the empty seat across from the couch Reader is sitting on.
“Yeah?” Reader is confused.
“Awesome, thanks.” JJ slides into the chair. A dark cherry scent flows into Reader’s nose—must’ve been his cologne—and it has a strangely calming effect. “How’re you liking your muffin?”
As if on cue, their stomach grumbles, and Reader blushes. “I haven’t tried it yet. I’m sorry.”
“Nothin’ to be sorry for. You should try some, though—the raspberry is my favorite.” JJ nudges the plate closer to them.
The muffin is excellent, just as it looked; fluffy and moist, bursting with flavor from the raspberry pockets inside, and decadently sweet. It takes maybe thirty seconds for Reader to devour the entire thing.
“You liked it, then?” JJ teases lightly.
“Sorry,” Reader says sheepishly, realizing how unmannerly they must’ve looked. “Didn’t realize how hungry I was.”
There’s a twitch of a frown that flickers over JJ’s face, but it’s gone as quickly as it appeared. “So, Angela tells me you live all by yourself?” He says it casually, but Reader stiffens. What are these people’s problems? So what if they live alone—Reader’s an adult. It’s perfectly fine for them to be by themself.
“Um, why do you ask?” Reader says cautiously, trying to gauge the man’s reaction.
“Well, you know, it’s not exactly…typical…I just wanted to see if you were okay, you know?”
“What do you mean, ‘not typical’? Tons of people live by themselves?”
JJ looks suddenly very uncomfortable; Reader is glad they’re not the only one.
“Look, kid…I didn’t want to say it, and Angela kinda told me not to, but…you reek of Little.” His tone is gentle, cautious, but his words make no sense.
“Little? A little what?”
Reader is seriously getting sick of shocked expressions.
A/N: Hope the OC names don't bother y'all too much; I literally put zero thought into them and went with whatever popped into my head first. Would you guys mind if I made permanent OC caregivers for this? I'm still not entirely sure where I'm going with this LMAO
Also hope y'all don't mind the like, scent thing too much - I used to dislike that sort of thing but one fic I read made me love it and I wanted to try writing it loll
Feel free to drop suggestions in the comments/asks - I may not respond or get to them, but I promise I'll look :)
Big sister caregiver! Emily from Stardew Valley Headcannons - 🪡🧵
🧵 - gives you the sweetest petnames, you would think that you're a priceless gem, and to Emily you are! Button, sugarplum, little pearl, she never ceases in her quest to come up with new ones either
🪡 - very laid-back for the most part, but does try to insist on you eating healthy! "Come on, baby! Won't you try a little bite for sissy? One teensy weensy bite? It's yummy, I promise!" (She'll back off if you really don't want to, what really matters is you eating at all, it's perfectly ok if that's just some tenders and fries)
🧵 - adores dressing you up, especially in outfits she made herself! Emily's most favorite thing she's ever made is a blankie though, it makes her heart sing whenever she sees you with it. Cuddled up on the couch, draped over your shoulders, you're just so precious!
🪡 - If you're someone who likes to play with others, look no further than Emily! Tag, dolls, house.. you name it and she's over the moon to join in. If you'd like to do your own thing, that's fine too! She'll sit and work on her own project while keeping you company
🧵 - very good at helping with grounding and self soothing, big sis is on the case whenever she can sence that you're overwhelmed. She makes sure she has things catered to your needs and for every situation, nothing slips past her as she crafts a toolbox for her little one!
warning note: these artists all have some songs with heavier themes. if you are sensitive to this when small, proceed with caution!!
★ kimya dawson. i cannot exaggerate just how safe and soft and small kimya dawson's music makes me feel. her voice is so beautiful and calming, and combined with her acoustic guitar, she is just so incredible. she's especially good if you need a good cry
★ of monsters and men!! more specifically, the album my head is an animal. im biased cus omam is one of my special interests, but mhiaa has such a childlike whimsy and wonder to it <3 its my go-to music when im already small
★ the oh hellos, best known for soldier poet king (yeah there's gonna be a lot of folk rock on this list lol) — i have to give a warning to anyone with religious trauma, as they are a christian band with lots of religious themes in their songs. but they are soso wonderful and joyful
★ yaelokre is a really good one, especially if you listen to the more upbeat songs like harpy hare, cole's response, hearken, etc :3 they have a very lovely, folk-y sound that i adore, plus characters and a story to go with every song!!
★ elio mei has a super sweet voice that is easy for me to sing along to while small; the milk carton in specific is suuuch an agere-coded song. his music is very whimsical and relatable, to me
★ cavetown is great if you prefer a softer, more relaxed sound!! i loved him so much when i was physically smaller (around 10-13 y/o) and i still listen every once in a while for the nostalgia
★ they might be giants is great for more chaotic or silly littles, if you like funny lyrics and sounds :3 i personally dont listen often anymore cus they remind me of someone, but i still love their sound. they have some incredible songs, i love birdhouse in your soul
★ steven universe's soundtrack!! grauhh its so good for regression!! the tidying song in particular is my favorite, i imagine it might be good if you need help cleaning up or taking care of other chores. (the show itself can be really nice to watch while regressed as well!!)
★ ashley eriksson, despite being the singer of adventure time's outro song, is vaaastly underrated. she's another good option for low-energy littles, or for those who prefer relaxed music!! and, on that note...
★ adventure time's soundtrack. its been a while since ive seen the show, but i lovelovelove the soundtrack!! everything stays is a major favorite of mine, its a great song for regression; very soft with a motherly voice. i love it sm
thank you for reading!! i hope this inspires you to listen to some of my fav artists heh... >:3
Kiddo who’s so used to taking care of themself. Making their own pasta, cutting off their own crusts, filling their own cup, putting bandaids on their own owies. Kiddo who spent so long taking care of themselves and self soothing they don’t know how to act with a carer now looking out for them. Instinct tells them self soothe, to be quiet and take care of it themselves.
Their carer finds them all the time, standing on a stool to stir pasta they’re making, muffling their cries with a teddy bear or cleaning up their own scraped knees. And carer is trying to be patient, rushes in and tries to take over so kiddo knows they’re not alone and they’re being taken care of now.
“I tan do it…”
“I know you can, button. But I wanna do it for you, okay? I like taking care of you.”
This thought has been swimming around in my head for a while SO-
Service/Support Pokémon.
I have many ideas that I want to draw as a small series this month and want all of YOUR ideas for what kind of Pokémon and aid thrown at me too. From a gluten sniffing service mon for people with celiac disease to a Chatot helping autistic kids in speech therapy.
I want everything ranging from college funded emotional support Eevee's during finals to guidemons for the blind
:D
I will take the corporate greed ridden work that Pokémon is right now and return it back to that once loved passion project by chest compressing the love of its community right back into serving said community!!
Truly though, I would love it as both a Pokémon fan and disabled person if an animated series was released on these kind of aspects. Where each episode was a different standalone story of a Pokémon aiding a person in a combination of both real world and poke world ways. Just a single 12 episode season is all I beg for.
shoutout to autistic age regressors who have their autism as a very major part of the reason why they regress.
a major reason why i personally age regress and get the urge to regress is because as an undiagnosed autistic child i was not ready for the rate at which new expectations were given to me.
it's understandable to wanna be tiny when people expected you to meet milestones that you weren't able to meet.
it's understandable to wanna be tiny when infancy seems like the only years where the expectations aren't scary and/or unreasonable.
🌷 some toddlers always wanna hold their parent's hand and constantly check if they're still there - others really wanna be independent and constantly say that they can do it themselves!!
🧦 some kids use their stuffies more as decorations or gift them to younger relatives or friends - others still sleep with them every night!!
🦔 some babies switch to solids pretty quickly and soon have a favourite snack - others are still bottle- or even breastfed at a later age!!
🐛 some toddlers start having secrets with friends and only play with people their age - others still do lots of activities with their parents!!
🌾 some kids have more mature interests pretty quickly and can't wait to finally be allowed things they weren't before - others find comfort in their old movies and board games!!
🪩 some babies use pacis until they're trained off them and are diapered at all times - others rely on pacis only for a shorter time and are quickly potty trained!!
⭐️ WE SEE ALL THIS EVERY DAY - DON'T WORRY ABOUT BEING A "CORRECT" REGRESSOR, BECAUSE THERE ARE NO "CORRECT" BABIES/TODDLERS/KIDS EITHER!! ⭐️
I’M OBSESSED with how Kallamar looks in the doctor outfit, this is SO PEAK!!!
We gave him a pet crabish and the colors match SO WELL i’m crying (still no name tho....)
Our Heket is always at the ranch for some reason. Like CONSTANTLY. So now i’m headcanoning she just really loves messing with the animals
Idk how this happened but our Yngya got the scandalous-woman-trait… i don’t even know how to feel about it.

🫧 Tips for low functioning littles and showering: ☁️
╔═ . ☾ . ══════════════════
Hey there little one! I think it might be bath time, don't you?
I know it's not always easy- sometimes the world feels too big and all you want to do is get back in bed, so i've set up a fun list of things that help me and maybe you too <33
☁️﹒Lay your comfiest clothes out in advance! have your fuzzy socks, favorite shirt, cozy pajama pants and towel laid out outside the shower so when you get out you can slip right into them!
🫧﹒Bring along some music or a podcast! sometimes feeling like someone else is there with you can help keep you out of your own head!
☁️﹒Let a stuffie friend tag along! while they cant get in the shower with you, they can hang out by the sink if they'd like too. you can tell them all about your day and what fun things you have planned next!
🫧﹒Mix and match senses and smells, if you have a soap you really like the smell of, you're more likely to want to get cleaned up!
☁️﹒For sensory littles, focus on the sensations of the water, the sound of the pitter patters or the way the bathroom gets all steamy like clouds in the sky.
🫧﹒If you get bored in the shower, bring a bath toy with you! something small like a little rubber friend- they like to get clean too!
☁️﹒Try sitting in the shower over standing, it's more comfortable and can help give you that little feeling if it's easier for you to get cleaned up in headspace
🫧﹒Sometimes having a song to hum along too can really help, i like twinkle twinkle little star!
☁️﹒Get some bath time markers! doodle on the shower wall with water soluble pens, see how many stars or clouds you can get done by the time the shower is up!
🫧﹒If showers are too noisy for you, try a bath instead! use bubbles and sticky letters you can put on the wall!
☁️﹒And most of all, try to enjoy it, i know it's easier said than done, but imagine your washing all the sad away, putting the day behind you and getting ready for cozy time.
You got this little star! and when you're all washed up, clean and dry, that's one more thing off your to do list. be kind to yourself, you deserve it <33
