I’ve been an age regressor for a pretty long time, although I’ve had varying amounts of connection to the community itself.
Most of that has to do with how little I see myself represented as an involuntary regressor. For me, regression can be cute I guess, sometimes. It can also be scary or downright dangerous. It can make my life harder. It’s not fun to be randomly jolted into childhood, even if that means I get to enjoy cartoons and plushies.
The last time I spoke about some of the incidents attached to my regression (on Reddit) I was told agere should not look like this and I needed therapy. For the record, I’m in therapy. I have been for years without improvement in quality of life. There’s probably someone out there who can actually help, but in the meantime I use internet communities.
I don’t have a DNI because I find them useless. Someone will not decide not to be ableist to you because you have a brightly colored banner that says “Ableists DNI”. I’ll just list stuff about myself/what I believe in/what I will and won’t interact with and you the reader can go from there. (I started writing that section and realized how horribly long it was, so it’s going under a read more.)
-This is a SFW blog, I have no interest in making it anything else. Try to nonconsensually sexualize anything I post and I block you. That said, dualcoms are welcome here so long as they don’t try to make my specific content ageplay. Ageplayers can be regressors too, ageplayers are not our enemies, and if you try to compare ageplay to preying on actual children you owe every single CSA survivor a million dollars effective immediately. Sorry, but I don’t make the rules. I just enforce them.
-On a similar note, if you believe ever getting sexually turned on while regressed automatically makes you not a regressor, sexualizing regression, or a predator fetishizing innocence, you are a bad person. Not everyone can turn off their sexual feelings perfectly while regressed. Stop making hypersexual regressors feel like everyone hates them. If you do that I hate you. For a community billed as for coping with trauma, a lot of you make it really unsafe for certain trauma responses. Looks pointedly at a discord server where I got into an argument with the mod over this.
-Another slightly similar note. Diapers are not inherently sexual, padded regressors are not “basically ABDL”, and doing ABDL doesn’t mean you can never treat diapers nonsexually or that you can’t also use them to regress nonsexually. You don’t have a license to treat padded regressors badly because you think they’re weird. If someone is creeping you out the block button is free.
-I am afamilial and repulsed by the concept of having a family. I may regress to a child, but I am not someone’s child. Not even the characters that I sometimes call my CGs. I will not ever refer to them with familial language. I may reblog imagine posts that refer to them that way if I like the rest of it enough to ignore my discomfort, but even that is rare. And if you try to call yourself my mommy/daddy I will block you faster than you can blink. I do not want family, that includes while regressed.
-I will not state my exact age because this is the internet and that’s personal information that you’re not automatically entitled to have. I think the sharing of ages does more harm than good in the agere community. Maybe I’ll elaborate on that later. Just know that I do not ever want to be flirted with (which seems to be why people need to know your age). I will block you if you do that.
-Similar note. I am not looking for a CG. Not over the internet. It is not safe to do, period. You have no way of knowing who the other person actually is. I don’t want to get too attached to someone online. If I make posts complaining about not having a CG, they’re probably either general venting or my regressed self not thinking straight. They are not a license for you to offer to become one.
-I struggle to read baby talk typing, which is why I don’t use it even when regressed. If you’re a heavy baby talk typer I will probably block you. A little baby talk is okay, but if I’m struggling to read it I will probably not expend the effort.
-I’m cynophobic. That’s the fear of dogs. I’m always afraid of them, but it’s worse when regressed. If you’re a pet regressor or just a regressor that makes puppies a big part of your aesthetic, I’ll probably block you. No hard feelings, I just don’t like to see that stuff.
I’m so fucking lonely and I’m trying to regress so I feel softer but it’s not working. Guess I really am an involuntary regressor. In every sense of the word.
I should just delete this blog. It doesn’t cheer me up. It doesn’t calm me down.

YIPPEE!! one of my favorite superheroes!!! i find him so comforting and the whole tv show?? amazing top tier!!! miss him so bad!! also i couldn’t find a good picture for the middle so i just used that oneee!!
mother’s day + father’s day in the US are coming up soon and i wanna give a big big big hug all the littles and caregivers who struggle those days, for whatever reason. remember this, my loves:
you don’t have to celebrate parents who are unkind or mistreat you, but sometimes that’s easier said than done. know that however the days go, you are brave, you are important, and you are so very loved just as you are.
you can choose to celebrate parents who have passed, or parents who aren’t present anymore for whatever reason. at the same time, you can choose not to, and that’s okay. your comfort and well-being are most important.
if you struggle on those days, it might be nice to show appreciation for a fictional caregiver! consider drawing a picture of you and your cgs, making a mother’s day/father’s day card for them, even sending your favorite roleplay blog a quick hello in honor of the day! because if your fictional cg was here, there’s nothing more they would want than to spend this day with you, and you deserve to feel cherished, too ❤️
and the most important part? take good care of yourself, sweetheart. even the worst days always come to an end. you’re stronger than you think and more loved than you know.
i hope you’re doing okay. i know you weren’t feeling great a while back but i only just now found your blog. not pressuring you to update, just hope you’re doing okay. i’m sorry you were sick.
I’m alright. I haven’t updated this blog in a while, I know.
btw your fictional cg is holding u in their arms right now .... and rocking u side to side, rubbing your back... telling u it's all okay & you're safe... and they love you sooo much. this is true.
