i know this task may seem tedious at times but i find that if iām in a dirty, cluttered area (cluttered with things other than agere stuff hehe), then i focus on the mess around me the whole time
2.) Get in clothes that make you feel small
i only have one onesie to wear when i want to regress, so when itās dirty iāll put on some clothes that are way too big for me instead. baggy shirts that hang off you and pants that flop when you walk :0 bonus points if you have cute slippers/socks
3.) Put on a kidsā show or comfort show
even if i donāt plan on watching it, iāll always put on my favorite show as background noise. something that i know will make me small and/or remind me of my childhood. try to think of shows you watched as a child or would watch as a child
4.) Keep a stuffie close
i always try to keep my favorite stuffie within armās length for quick cuddling. as a child i was big on stuffed animals and i still am! having something soft and plush to pet and squeeze as much as i like makes things much lighter. if you donāt have a stuffie, maybe try a comfort item
5.) Use a paci or teether
i find that using an adult pacifier when i want to regress will help push me into the headspace faster. i have a teeth grinding problem so chewing on something also helps with that. i try not to use a paci while i sleep though because it hurts the roof of my mouth. if you donāt have a paci or teether, maybe look into chewelry
6.) Occupy your brain
my brain tends to obsess over if iām regressed or not and iāll always ask myself ādo i actually feel small?ā but by doing simple things like coloring or doodling or building legos (or even playing an easy game like minecraft or roblox), i can focus on being present in the moment
thanks for reading :p <3 feel free to leave me any questions in my inbox or dms. disclaimer: i am aware that everyone regresses differently, this is just for those who may have a hard time regressing and need a place to start. regressing can be difficult for some and thatās okay! it doesnāt make you any less of an age regressor.
Seeing a lot of āhow to play if you donāt know what to doā posts that donāt explain how to play correctly. I donāt think suggesting kinds of play is helpful if somebody forgot what play IS in the first place.
We all know play is creative and imaginative.
But play is essentially the same thing as art. Itās the same thing as drawing or writing a story or roleplaying. Itās a creative outlet. It is not just a thing you do. Channel the same drive that causes you to world build for fandoms and draw pictures and write stories and fanfiction. It is the same thing.
You play by saying āwhat if.ā āImagine if.ā Those are magic words. You bring any world you want to your fingertips by asking those questions. Have fun!
ā ļøfor any littles who finds so much comfort in plushies, i recommend this channel so much! found it on accident with a friend and felt so emotional at how genuine he creates stories and scenes with his plushies. very comforting to watch while little ā ļø
this fic was mainly inspired by @/softpawpup's most recent post, its literally 9pm and i have to wake up tomorrow at like 4am for an early morning shift but ik if i didn't write it now, i never would so,,hope u enjoy!
Izuku loves Sunday nights. Because Sunday nights are when his and Tenya's schedules are clear, and they can both take care of Katsuki together.
Tenya was in the kitchen downstairs, wiping down the countertops with a damp cloth with one hand and holding Katsuki on his hip with the other.
Katsuki's 8:00 pm bedtime was soon to be arriving, and he was just about ready to be put down. Tenya had just given him his bottle and burped him not too long ago. In fact, his burping cloth was still hanging over his shoulder just underneath the little one's chin.
When Tenya hears footsteps nearby, he turns and smiles cheerfully when he sees Izuku coming near.
Izuku dusts off his hands. "That should be all of them! Now all of his toys are in his toy chest upstairs." And he beams when he sees how cozy his boyfriend looks in Tenya's arms.
He coos, reaching out and tickling Katsuki's side. "You look so sleepy, Kacchanā¦! Are you ready to go to bed?"
The little one jostles only slightly when he's tickled, wrapping his arms around Tenya's neck to snuggle into them a little more. The burping towel falls off his shoulders, but Izuku is quick to catch it.
Izuku giggles before he really pays attention to the fact that Tenya was cleaning up the kitchen.
"Whāyou cleaned the kitchen?"
"Mhm." Tenya nods, still smiling.
"You didn't need to do that, Tenya!" He puts his hands on his hips, upset that he left all this work for his friend. "I was gonna do it when I was finished cleaning. I know you like holding Kacchan after he's done feeding."
That is true; he does like to do that, butā"On the contrary! I cleaned up so that our tasks today would be evenly split, as I noticed you were taking more work on than I. Besides, I don't mind multitasking."
Izuku hums, "If you're sureā¦"
"In fact," Tenya starts adjusting his hold on Katsuki and gets closer to Izuku to lend him over. "He was looking for you after you left. I think he'd like for you to hold him now."
Izuku almost protests, but when he sees the way Katsuki focuses on him and the tiny smile that spreads from ear to earāhow can he refuse?
With the kitchen cleaned and their little one fed for the night, they both make their way up to Katsuki's bedroom and get him ready for bed. Katsuki was the only one out of the three of them who wasn't wearing pajamas yet, so he changed into some plaid sweatpants and a skull tee to get himself comfortable.
Because Tenya was permitted (by a mentally older Katsuki), he got under the covers on Katsuki's left, and Izuku got comfortable on his right side, bringing him close to his chest and lying the little one's head in the nook of his neck.
Katsuki was so giddy for someone who was so sleepy a minute ago. He kicked his feet out happily, clenching and unclenching Izuku's shirt as he giggled and babbled about how he was gonna stay awake this time, for sure!
But the minute Tenya whips out Katsuki's favorite bedtime story, "The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight" by R.L. Stine, he's out before they can even finish the chapter. As they find a pacifier for Katsuki to suck on for the night, Izuku is already planning out what they're going to do next Sunday when their schedules are free.
