Regressor in Denial Agere Prompts
~A caregiver or babysitter who swears they can’t regress. They have a little one to watch over after all. (Bonus if they take on the role of parent when caregiving normally and/or are physically older)
~Character A who likes to be around when character B is looking after other regressors. Character B thinks that maybe Character A is a potential caregiver. Character A meanwhile is deeply curious about regression and is drawn to a lot of the colorful toys, fun cartoons, and soft demeanor that Character B takes on when caretaking
~Character A who sneaks a pacifier/blanket/toy/bottle from a bin of extras that caregiver keeps around in case of emergency, assuming that caregiver won’t notice. They have like 25 pacifiers, who’s going to miss one simple black one going missing? Or an unlabeled, undecorated bottle? Or a basic green blankie? And that stuffed bear was looking so sad all on its own, clearly it wasn't loved by anyone, so now they are going to love it
~Caregiver who ever so slightly pushes agere gear towards character in denial. If only someone would hug this poor teddy bear. Hey I bought this wrong-colored blanket for my kiddo; do you want it instead? Oh my gosh I haven’t seen this cartoon in forever! Wait you never watched it before? Dude you’ve missed out! Well now we need to have a movie night and binge cartoons- I’ll brings snacks!
~Caregiver who doesn’t realize they have started treating Character A like they would a little. Cutting their sandwich in half and removing the crusts. Lots of positive praise over very simply tasks. Reminding them to drink water, brush their teeth. Fussing over their clothes and hair. Picking them up and dragging them to bed at a reasonable time.
~Character A being really jealous for seemingly no reason whenever one of their friends are regressed. They’re more than supportive, so why is it that they feel so bad whenever their friend is regressed around them (bonus for Character being called out by their peers for unconsciously treating the regressor poorly, or ignoring them.)
~ <- additionally: to everyone else it seems like Character A is uncomfortable being around someone regressed and it leads to miscommunication. Do they confess that they end up feeling funny? That they wish they had that attention? Do they get angry? Or just keep avoiding now everyone because they feel guilty/stress is piling up
~Caregiver who’s been stressed and for one reason or another can’t be with their regular little, gets offered from Character A to treat them as if they were regressed. Character A expects this to be a comfortable soft evening, if not a little awkward. Turns out Character A is closer to slipping than they ever thought was possible.
~Middle regressor who really, really, really wants to be treated as if they were younger, but are too shy to ask to be babied. Instead they set up an elaborate scheme to get babied.
