sfw agere caregiver / flip little acct: @tinytk they/them + star/stars prns

[starrysib]

welcome friends !!

i’m tk, and this is my caregiver sideblog !! i’ve been running an agere little account ( @tiny-tk ) for a while now and decided to branch out n make a cg style one as well, mainly for asks since people seem to like those :D

ask status :: open (but probably slow to respond)

agere is a nonsexual coping mechanism :] here’s a link with more info abt what it means n how it works: everything agere carrd

i’ll take asks for advice, comfort, or if u just wanna talk abt ur day or anything u like !! i think of myself as a big sibling style caregiver rather than a parental one, although i’m not really sure what that means yet to me. also, this account is kind of inspired by @cloudscaregiverservice and that whole subgenre of cg accounts ^^ they’re so cool and i wanted to make my own :]

name :: tk or star

pronouns :: they/them or star/stars

age :: 20

claimed anon sing-offs :: ☁️, 💌, 🖥️🎨

i tag asks i’ve answered with #ask

i tag my non-ask original posts with #tk.txt

♡ tips for littles without a cg༅

♡ self-made reward system ──୨ৎ── set up small rewards for yourself!! so when you do something like finishing a coloring page, drinking enough water, or cleaning your room you can reward yourself! some ideas can be using a sticker chart, having a little box of treats, or scratch off cards! you can make those yourself and put them into a box and pick out one and scratch it off to see your reward!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ regression box ──୨ৎ── prepare a box with stuff like snacks, easy-to-use utensils, little clothes, and comforting items so you don’t have to struggle with decision-making or getting things when regressed!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ caregiver substitute ──୨ৎ── give a stuffed animal the role of a “caregiver substitute”! talk to it, bring it with you, do little activities with it like reading a book, etc!! it can just watch over you as well!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ fictional caregiver ──୨ৎ── you can pick a fictional character that you find comfort in and make them your caregiver!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ self encouragement letters ──୨ৎ── write a short, kind message to yourself in a playful or nurturing tone, when your big to little you!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ digital little space ──୨ৎ── create an “agere corner” on your phone, like a folder filled with cute apps/games that bring comfort!༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ asmr ──୨ৎ── asmr can be really helpful! there are many that are just babying and some made just for agere! just search for it on youtube and find a video you like! there are bedtime story ones too for when you dont have anyone to help tuck you in༅

✂ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

♡ regressive journaling ──୨ৎ── make a little journal using crayons or stickers! and instead of big longg word entries, try drawing emotions, scribbling thoughts, or using stickers to make a story!༅

this is my first agere post, i hope it isnt bad!!

[crayon-eater-123-deactivated202]

plz bring ur stuffy with u in public. they need lotsa interaction. its mean to isolate them

[starrysib]

yess they love being taken on adventures!!

but also, if you can’t or don’t want to (or don’t have room in your bag/pockets) i’m sure they won’t mind spending a cozy day in either :) your room is their favorite place after all ^^ so please don’t feel bad if you need them to stay put

context: littleforbig is an online store that markets both to the sfw agere community as well as some of its nsfw counterparts, and there’s discourse on whether it’s ethical to support them because of that.

[starrysib]

i said i'd give my full thoughts on littleforbig so here they are!!

// cw: kink + ageplay mention (not graphic or specific)

personally, i've bought from littleforbig once (years ago) but probably wouldn't do it again, since i've become more aware of their problems and i have better alternatives for anything i'd get from them

basically, they aren't great but not for the reasons people think. there's nothing morally wrong with ageplay, provided its between consenting (bodily) adults. if it makes you uncomfortable, that's fine and totally understandable and valid. but that doesn't make it immoral.

dualcom people exist, and anyone who slips into a younger headspace in any context is by definition engaging in age regression. it would be wrong to deny that!!

not to mention, dualcom regression is usually done for the same reasons as entirely sfw agere: comfort and reclamation of childhood

if that process of reclamation involves sex or kink for anyone there’s literally nothing wrong with that, it’s a deeply personal process and (as long as they’re respectful of those who don’t want to engage in those aspects and aren’t hurting anyone) it’s not anyone's place to pass judgement on what's acceptable

as for littleforbig, they're kind of overpriced and their branding is pretty iffy. they lack inclusivity (all their product model photos feature skinny white women exclusively) and generally have a pretty reductive view of both ageplay and age regression as a whole

it's also always better to shop local and in-person where you can!! but i get that can be difficult for things like agere gear

TLDR: littleforbig kind of sucks as a brand, but not purely because they're a kink store. if they're the most/only accessible option, then you have to weigh up the choice of whether to support them yourself based on how much good an item would bring to your life! any action is good action, and taking care of yourself is part of that, even if it means supporting something you don't 100% agree with. take it case-by-case and find your own balance :)

anyway shoutout dualcom regressors, ur all awesome and although i’m not one of you (probably), i hope you can continue to heal in whatever way works for you!! <3

since i’m for sure the first one but it i’ve learned how to best accommodate it for myself, here’s some tips on how to deal with dysphoria as an age regressor!!

. :+* for chest dysphoria, binders have been a huge help for me. if you don’t have access to a binder (or are worried about binder safety like me), sports bras can be good too! i have a few different ones that i switch out depending on the rest of my outfit, but i wear one almost every day. if you’re new to binding, this video by ash hardell is a good starting point: link

. :+* engaging with the kids’ media that targets your gender (if you missed it the first time round)!! i’m lucky that my parents raised me on boys’ and girls’ media (shows, types of toys etc), but it’s still been cool to go back n explore shows that i ruled out as being ‘not for me’ or ones where i didnt have friends who shared those interests

. :+* experiment with names and pronouns!! the agere community is (generally speaking) super trans-inclusive, but also being anonymous online gives you the opportunity to totally reinvent yourself!! it doesn’t matter if you’re not 100% certain if a new name suits you. you’re allowed to try things, you’re allowed to change your mind or get it wrong, that’s part of the journey!!

if you’re in the uk, supermarket brand bread sticks are such a good agere food >:) and suuuper cheap too for what u get!! they’ve been a staple d&d game snack for me for years

Reminder that just because something you like to do while regressed doesn’t correlate with your regression age; Doenst mean it isn’t valid!

You regress to 7 and want to use Paci’s? Okay! Just make sure your teeth don’t get ruined!

You wanna watch the walking dead even though you regress to 4? Go ahead! Your stuffies will protect you from the zombies!

Our emotional and mental age does not mean that “older” or “younger” activities are harmful!

It's Almost Time for Summer Camp!

Every summer, usually in June, I like to pretend I'm going to summer camp! I like to plan camp activities for myself to do, and sometimes I'll actually go camping when I can!

Summer camp usually lasts a month. Here's the monthly schedule I created

I have activities split into three main categories: Skill of the Week, Arts & Crafts, and Outdoors Fun! And on weekends, I have a free day, and then a day where I play various recreational and noncompetitive sports with my friends!

I also created a weekly day-to-day schedule for when I'm able to have a little more structure

This one includes meals and a category called "Free Time/Class" which is for doing whatever I want outside or doing something like archery, horseback riding, canoeing, playing an instrument, etc.

Since I'm disabled and don't have a ton of money, most of these things I either do through pretend play or through a modified version of the activity. It's a lot of fun! ^_^ Are you going to Camp this Summer?

the nostalgia-core to age regression pipeline is... truly something

[starrysib]

mxmtoon mentioned!!!! fr my agere journey started with “yeah i just really like kidcore aesthetics and fashion and some cartoons just have really good writing guys i swear”

but anyway in a weird way i think it all came full circle because i got to bring my 3ds (which i bought second hand a month ago specifically for agere reasons) to an mxmtoon concert and took concert vids on it and lots of ppl complimented it :)

all this to say agere is weird and can feel so so lonely but it is possible to get to a point where, with the right people, you don’t have to hide it anymore!!

Become the person you wish you had in your life when you were young. Have the spirit of youth forever in you. Love and nurture your inner child, because they are a very important part of you that deserves to be treated with kindness. Enjoy the activities that brought you joy as a kid, or experience the things you never got an opportunity to. Never stop being an optimistic soul who sees the positivity in the world. Most importantly, learn to find a way to do this on a regular basis, even if it's only for a brief moment in time

Cw blood draw

I have to get my blood drawn tomorrow :( im nervous and not sure if I should bring a stuffed toy or not 🧸

[starrysib]

// cw blood draw (vague)

for sure bring a stuffed toy if it could help you feel more comfortable !! it’s totally normal to be anxious about having ur blood drawn, even for non-regressors. and if you think having a friend with you could make it a nicer experience, u should go for it i think !!

maybe a smaller stuffed toy could be better in case u change ur mind and want them to stay in ur bag ^^
