Iâve been an age regressor for a pretty long time, although Iâve 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. Itâs 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, Iâm in therapy. I have been for years without improvement in quality of life. Thereâs probably someone out there who can actually help, but in the meantime I use internet communities.
I donât 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 âAbleists DNIâ. Iâll just list stuff about myself/what I believe in/what I will and wonât interact with and you the reader can go from there. (I started writing that section and realized how horribly long it was, so itâs 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 donât 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 donât 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 âbasically ABDLâ, and doing ABDL doesnât mean you can never treat diapers nonsexually or that you canât also use them to regress nonsexually. You donât have a license to treat padded regressors badly because you think theyâre 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 someoneâs 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 thatâs personal information that youâre not automatically entitled to have. I think the sharing of ages does more harm than good in the agere community. Maybe Iâll 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 donât want to get too attached to someone online. If I make posts complaining about not having a CG, theyâre 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 donât use it even when regressed. If youâre a heavy baby talk typer I will probably block you. A little baby talk is okay, but if Iâm struggling to read it I will probably not expend the effort.
-Iâm cynophobic. Thatâs the fear of dogs. Iâm always afraid of them, but itâs worse when regressed. If youâre a pet regressor or just a regressor that makes puppies a big part of your aesthetic, Iâll probably block you. No hard feelings, I just donât like to see that stuff.

he always knows youâre getting sleepy when the nightly couch snuggles turn into soft yawns and heavy eyes. he likes the routine of reading to you at the end of the day, whether youâre small or not.
sometimes he even plays cozy music on the record player, soft instrumentals with piano and gentle guitar, because he knows itâll help you relax easier. youâre almost always little by the end of the story.
âcâmon, doll, letâs get you ready for bed. oh, i bet youâre not tired. thatâs why you were using my arm as a pillow, huh?â
in your defense, the metal arm is a lot comfier than it looks.
he always makes sure thereâs time for you to have a warm bath before bed with soft lighting and nice smelling bath oil. it helps you sleep better, and you usually find yourself in the company of some really cool stark-branded bath toys. bucky always lets you pick out some bubbles or bath bombs to make the water pretty, and he uses his extra-sensitive vibranium hand to make sure the temperature is perfect for his baby. if heâs done a really good job helping you relax, youâre almost too sleepy to splash.
heâll help you with your whole bath routine as much as youâre comfy with! if he washes your hair, itâs like getting a massage at your very own spa! if youâre so sleepy and so small, he doesnât mind helping you with the rest of your bath, too. he wants his baby to always feel safe and cared for.
âi think someoneâs in the running for cleanest baby on this side of new york, kiddo. youâll be placing at the bedtime olympics before we know it.â
when youâre all done, heâll help you dry off in a big, fluffy towel that he laid on the heater when you werenât looking! and of course, your baby towel has a silly animal hood that he pulls over your eyes to make you smile.
by now, youâre so sleepy you can hardly keep your eyes open. bucky picks out the softest pajamas, maybe a onesie or something with a cute print, and youâre already falling asleep while he dresses you. if youâre a baby who needs protection at bedtime, heâs murmuring little reassurances while he gets you taken care of.
âshhh, honey, let me fuss over you a little. itâs good for my ego, huh? you know i like taking care of you.â
by the time heâs shut off the lights, youâre practically a little puddle of baby in his bed. he makes sure your plushie is tucked in before he lays down. heâll wrap an arm around you and bring you into his chest, and thatâs where youâll stay all night: the safest place you could ever be.
(i hope this finds you as youâre settling in for bed :) good night, little ones â¤ď¸)
Iâm so fucking lonely and Iâm trying to regress so I feel softer but itâs not working. Guess I really am an involuntary regressor. In every sense of the word.
I should just delete this blog. It doesnât cheer me up. It doesnât calm me down.
đ¤ carer that drives you around town whenever the insomnia is too much, doing slow laps around the neighbourhood until their lil baby is too sleepy to keep their eyes open at all
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 couldnât find a good picture for the middle so i just used that oneee!!
motherâs day + fatherâs 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 donât have to celebrate parents who are unkind or mistreat you, but sometimes thatâs 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 arenât present anymore for whatever reason. at the same time, you can choose not to, and thatâs 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 motherâs day/fatherâs 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, thereâs nothing more they would want than to spend this day with you, and you deserve to feel cherished, too â¤ď¸
and the most important part? take good care of yourself, sweetheart. even the worst days always come to an end. youâre stronger than you think and more loved than you know.
