yippppeeeeeeeeeeeee!!! i love yapping about them so much!
❀ worldbuilding ❀
okay so basically, in my au, agere is normalized and built into society. everyone is either a little (someone who regresses), a cg (caregiver), a flip (someone who can both regress and caregive but they're not really relevant bc i don't really believe any of the kats/ace are flips) or a neutral (someone who doesn't need to regress or caregive). there isn't like an official test to take to see if you fit into one category or another but most classifications (little, cg, flip, neutral) make themselves known in childhood/ adolescence. people CAN become littles later in life, or discover a burning desire to caregive or even lose their desires to either thing but its pretty out of the norm.
while there isn't a test to determine your classification, there are papers and contracts surrounding dynamics. a dynamic is the relationship between a caregiver(s) and a little(s) and gives the caregiver more time off work/ ability to speak for their little in certain situations/ generally more privileges to benefit both of their wellbeing. you can be in a casual dynamic, one without paperwork, or a formal dynamic with all the paper work attached. formal dynamics are often more long term and "serious", if that makes sense.
okay that was a lot of worldbuilding, but its kinda the basics to understand what's happening over here.
so! megara! my babies!
❀ little! meg ❀
❀ age range from 5-8 ish, but can drop smaller if distressed or overly anxious.
❀ has known she was a little since she was a kid and its been a major tool to cope with her anxiety, used to drop way smaller but now is usually within her typical range.
❀ her mom took care of her when she was a little kid/ early teenager and regressing.
❀ overall a very silly little. loves to goof off and is generally very high energy, you will always find her playing some sort of game or make believe or running around.
❀ called "meimei" or "mei" when she's little.
❀ cg! lara ❀
❀ knew she was probably a caregiver when she was thirteen ish, and spent time with her friends when they were little, but was always with her older sister, rhea, who is also a cg. never had her own little before megan.
❀ she was a bit hesitant to actually embrace being a cg because she didn't think she would be very good at it and she didn't want to accidentally hurt a little.
❀ loved the time she would spend with rhea, and her mom (both cgs) and they both taught her a lot about caring. especially rhea, who she goes to whenever she feels anxious/ overwhelmed.
❀ all of her flair and stage persona fades away when she's with a little. she becomes so soft and sweet.
❀ she's a bit on the stricter side, but thats mostly because megan thrives off of rules and structure, which shes happy to provide.
❀ is often called "rara" or "lala" by the littles in the katseye house.
❀ megara ❀
❀ met during dream academy and just clicked. meg always felt really safe and warm around lara but they were both teenagers on a survival show and didn't want to rush into a dynamic but both knew that they wanted one.
❀ while a lot of the cgs in dream babysat a lot of the littles, lara only really took care of meg. a lot of the other littles were scared of her (big or small) but not meimei! even if megan was still a bit wary around lara, meimei warmed up to her so quickly.
❀ lara absolutely ADORES her meimei, even tho she's so high energy. she's such a silly cg when she knows she's not going to be judged/ filmed.
❀ they entered a formal dynamic right after they were both selected to be in the group, and it came as a surprise to absolutely no one. they're families also get along really well and they both love that they're able to be their full, true selves when theres no cameras around.
❀ meimei can be a bit of a troublemaker, even if she doesn't mean to be. she struggles with gentle hands sometimes, can be very impatient, and also a bit impulsive. lara is very very patient with her, and all of her "punishments" include being sent to the corner for 5 minutes to think about her actions and then an apology. a lot of the time she's "acting out" because she feels anxious or out of control.
❀ meimei can a bit of an ipad kid, but its always age appropriate. she's allowed to play roblox with yoonchae with cg supervision, but she's usually watching spongebob or steven universe, or the amazing world of gumball. lara knows that sometimes she just needs to tune into a different world.
❀ meimei usually just calls lara "lala" when she's small. its only in her moments of extreme distress will she call her "mama". this mostly happens during/ after a panic attack or when she's having a really bad anxiety day.
❀ meimei can be a fairly independent little, lara can leave her alone in their room or the nursery to play while she makes dinner or takes a shower or something, and as long as mei either knows where lara is or has another cg in the room with her, she's cool as a cucumber.
❀ lara is very in tune to meimei's feelings. she always knows when her little is upset and needing a cuddle, but she's also very aware when mei just wants to run around and get her energy out. they're very goofy together and lara will almost always indulge mei in whatever silly pretend game she wants to play.
❀ lara has absolutely no problem with other cgs in the house babysitting meimei. especially sophia, who meimei adores. it makes her really happy to watch her mei be so loved by the people around her. she would take an issue if one of the other girls tried to go against lara's rules, but they all respect each other and would never do that.
❀ a/n: i hope you enjoyed! i absolutely love this au that im working on and i love megara so if you have any questions about anything specific: gear, worldbuilding, dynamics, or any of the kats, just shoot me an ask!
hellooooo!! i really like your writing and i find your blog genuinely cool overall! would you do smth with cg!sodani and a little! dyslexic reader who js wont listen at all and is getting frustrated bc she doesn’t understand the textbook she’s reading??
Doubling up on taking classes online while being a member of the HxG crew was practically hell on earth. You found yourself stuck working on assignments while helping on set, filming, and in the middle of flights. You were rapidly approaching finals season, which made everything at least 2x worse. Pair that up with secretly regressing while in the care of Sophia and Dani, and it was a wonder you hadn’t had a heart attack yet.
Neither of the girls is particularly pleased with you, unfortunately. They both claim you’re ‘pushing yourself too hard’ and ‘close to collapsing ’, which you respond to by sticking out your tongue. So you’ve decided that you need to keep your studying as secret from them as possible, which proved to be much harder than you thought.
When they aren’t filming or rehearsing, Sophia and Dani have seemingly decided that it’s their mission to have an eye on you at all times. You found yourself sitting with your textbooks in the parking lot while the girls worked on Animal choreo. You knew it was only a matter of time until they came out and found you.
You had conjured up some work assignment to back up the fact that for some reason you needed to be outside and you carefully switched to that window as the clock hit 5. You can hear Manon's laugh from here; you smoothly switch windows on your laptop and slide your textbooks under the nearby bush.
Dani & Sophia split off from the other girls and found you, pretending to be very invested in the project on your computer. You laughed as Dani shut it, enjoying the break from the way the letters floated around. “Hi mahal,” Sophia greeted, pressing a kiss to your forehead while Danielal glanced around. “So you had an outside assignment?” She questioned, her eyebrow rose as you squirmed in your spot.
You nodded weakly, and Sophia chuckled lightly, rubbing your back. “Can we go home?” You ñask hopefully, and Daniela nods, her eyes barely landing on you as she continues to look around. “Let's go!” You say a little too excitedly when she gets too close to the bush. Daniela isn’t easily fooled, and within an instant she’s tugging out your textbooks and brandishing them in front of Sophia.
Your caregivers' smiles dropped into a frown, and she sighed. “We’ll talk about this in the car. Dani, could you drive?” She asked, and the Latina just nodded, gripping the books. Dani swung your hand in hers as they discuss the rehearsal. “We told you that we’d prefer for you to study with us, baby. We don’t want you to get frustrated and drop hm?” Daniela explained, and you nodded poutily.
You scuff your feet as you hop into the back of the car and slide into your usual seat. “It’s just too much work to only do with us,” You defend, and the girls exchange a look. “Well, why don’t you save the hardest stuff with us? And easier stuff for when you’re by yourself,” Sophia suggested as she scrolled through her playlist.
You sighed dramatically and nodded slowly. “Sorry,” You muttered as Broadway filled the car and Sophia reached back to squeeze your knee. “It’s okay, mahal,” She reassured, letting out a soft gasp as Daniela abruptly jerked the car into Starbucks. You grinned and leaned forward between the seats, ready to rattle off your order.
Daniela playfully pushed your head back. “I know what you want, niña,” She said calmly and easily ordered for the three of you. Sophia kissed her cheek, and you stuck your tongue out. “Feeling small?” That was all she had to say for you to sit back in your seat and kick her chair gently. She twisted around a bit and fixed you with the too-familiar ‘leader face’.
You reached up again to tug on her hair, and Sophia’s eyes softened. “Hi, cutie,” She murmured, and Daniela smiled excitedly before receiving the drinks. You were lightly pushed back to sit fully in your seat now that you had your drink. Sophia blasted the music to the dismay of you and Daniela. It was easily the saddest Les Mis song, but she insisted on keeping it at top volume.
Once the three of you were at the apartment, the two girls were helping you lug in your work bags and your school bags. You changed before settling down on the couch with your final assignment for the day. “Alright, last one, bebe,” Dani praised as she sat down next to you, her arm automatically looping around your waist. Sophia started dinner while you attempted to complete the reading.
But even your drink and Daniela's embrace couldn’t help you. The words were disconnecting and floating on the pages, even as you squinted your eyes and gripped the cover. You huffed before attempting to focus on one letter at a time, but whenever you tried to read the entire word, it practically fell apart.
Daniela gently rubbed your back, but you jerked away from her. “No!” You snapped, and she bit her lip to keep from getting too frustrated. She carefully lifted you up and off of her lap so you wouldn’t bite her head off. “Keep going,” Was all she said before flitting back to Sophia. The two of them held a hushed conversation in the kitchen as Sophia stood near the oven.
You could feel their gazes on you, but you were utterly focused on trying to get through this paragraph. The couch dipped beside you, and you could smell vanilla. “Hi mommy,” You say, refusing to rip your eyes away from the sentence you were on. “Can I help mahal?” She asked, and you shook your head stubbornly.
She didn’t argue with you, but her sigh filled the room. You only stopped for long enough to go to the table, but the textbook was still in your lap. Finally, after you glowered at Sophia when she offered to read it aloud, it was being tugged out of your lap. “Baby girl, you’re not listening to either of us,” Daniela scolded, as she crouched in front of you.
Sophia kept you on her lap so that you wouldn’t squirm away while Daniela talked. “All we’re trying to do is help, mkay? We love you so much, and we’ve seen how hard you’ve been working. It’s harder for you than for some people, and we get that. Can you let us help you with the reading, sweet girl?” Dani said, rubbing your cheek with her thumb while Sophia kissed your shoulder.
You melted into their affection and nodded. You hurriedly wiped away the tears that had sprung in your eyes. “Thank you, y/n,” Sophia crooned, nuzzling your neck as Daniela returned the textbook to your grip. You smiled softly as Daniela conjured a pen to help you trace the lines. Sophia quietly read it aloud whenever you got a bit too stuck.
You stalled on the second-to-last paragraph and furrowed your brows. It had been going so well, but for some reason everything felt much worse here. The terminology got much more intense, and you let out a whine. “Let’s try tracing it with my finger, hm? Make it a bit more fun,” Dani coaxed, and you controlled tracing with her nail while Sophia narrated.
Once the reading was done, you were able to fully relax with the two of them. “Good job, mahal,” Sophia praised as you shut the book and snuggled back into her arms. Daniela smoothed your hair as she went to pop some popcorn. Sophia flicked through the movies, waiting for you to show any sign of excitement.
Finally, you lit up at the sight of Toy Story 2 and wrangled the remote out of her hands. You clicked on it and kissed Sophia’s cheek as the theme began. Daniela returned with popcorn and smiled softly. You successfully read aloud the caption for the buzz flying scene and they clapped encouragingly. Maybe this wasn’t so bad after all.
