Welcome to the Housetree! @sunshine-and-starling - Tumblr Blog

[ Last Updated: May 31st, 2026 ]

[ Requests: Open! ]

Follows come from @clovrplayz! Warning: Said blog is NOT 100% appropriate for children.

Hello, my little starlings and friends, welcome to the Housetree! My name is Clover/Starry, but you can also call me Miss Clover, Miss Starry, Miss Starling, sis, Mama, or anything else if you'd prefer- just ask! ^w^ I'm 21, my pronouns are she/they/pup/wuff/star, and my timezone is CST!

I've decided to revamp my formerly CG-centric blog into being both a CG/agere advice/tips and writing/moodboard posting blog for the fandoms I'm in! ^w^ I've really been trying to get back into writing lately, and starting tends to be one of the hardest parts for me, but I've been so inspired by other writers and creators that if nothing else, at least I'll have a blog ready for when I decide to give it another try! ^w^

I myself have been a flip for a few years now, although I'm not a formal caregiver to anyone and haven't been yet. ^^;

Apart from my requests and the content I post, I am always happy to talk, listen, and help however I can! Please feel free to send asks about anything you'd like! ^w^

There is a LOT of reading to do below, so I'll add a cut to save you the trouble of scrolling. If you have any questions that aren't answered below, please feel free to ask! ^w^

finally back home from the vacation i took! expect posts soon ^w^

Activities for Regressors Without Caregivers! (or just fun regression activties!)

(Although you're always welcome here if you'd like any form of comfort anyway! ^w^)

This one's kind of a long one, after the few tips I list, I've mentioned an app I use called Finch, which will be talked about below the cut.

Since that's the case, I'll put my little ending message here instead:

Knowing how to take care of yourself can take a lot of work and practice, but I believe it's worth the effort, because then you'll be a happier and healthier you! Especially if you can find ways to make it fun!

I'm more than happy to be here for you and offer my support in any way I can, anyhow! I'm proud of you for doing what you can, I know it can be very hard.

I myself don't have a caregiver for when I regress, so most of the time I end up taking care of myself! Here are some fun activities and things I do when I regress to keep myself calm and happy! ^w^

Paci mentions/pics not long after the first section for those of you who'd rather not see 'em.

♥ Arts and crafts! I absolutely LOVE coloring and making bracelets with beads, something not too complicated for little hands, but also something fun!

With coloring, you can buy coloring books, or draw something of your own to color in- even printing out a page you find online, coloring digitally, or tracing over something to color in could work! I prefer coloring more than drawing personally because I don't draw all the time, but I bet I could learn a little thing or two from the artists around here!

For bracelets (and other jewelry), strings can be hard to knot with little hands (at least they aren't those small, slippery clasps!!), but the beads shouldn't be too hard to handle if you're careful! Even just planning out patterns is fun!

Here are some My Little Pony bracelets I made, and the decorations I did for my pacis!

♥ Making playlists! Dancing is fun, and a good way to get the zoomies out, but you can just make playlists for any occasion! I have playlists that help me pet-regress, songs with sounds I like, adventure playlists... (Well- a lot of these are still in progress, but- you get the point!)

I also love those playlist videos on YouTube! Animal Crossing, Super Mario Galaxy, Minecraft and music box music are typically my go-to to help me settle or just make for comfy background music! Here's one of my favorites, shadowatnoon has lovely Nintendo music mixes!

♥ Playing with your plushies! You can take them on adventures, or make your own!

Like Toby, climbing The Great Pillow Mountain!

(This is Toby by the way, he's one of my best friends and a VERY good hugger!)

You can play games with them, too! Toby's REALLY good at hide and seek... Maybe you can find him for me? :0

♥ Finding shows to watch! I really like Paw Patrol and Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles at the moment. Plus, you can look at agere content and fics from shows you like! People make really cool stimboards and moodboards, for example, and I like reading through all the fun stories people write!

Here's a silly picture of Rocky I found! :3

Clean-Up Time!! ^w^

(This might be a bit inspired by the mess in my own room I need to tackle... ^^;)

Pet-names used: Little starling, little one

Aw, hey there, little starling! Doing alright?

Oh, yeah? Trying to clean? Yeah, it looks like you've had a lot of fun in here, huh? ^^ I know how that can be, I get carried away daydreaming all the time... ^^;

Would you like some help? Looks like such a big mess for such a little one... but I know I think and feel a lot more sunny with a clean space!

Unless you're enough of a big kid to do it on your own, or you can tell me how I can help you! I won't mess with anything unless you tell me to.

Yeah? You'd like my help? Of course! ^w^

Now, I know cleaning can be kind of a big task, which is why I think we should help ourselves out and make sure we're ready to clean!

Have a snack? Check!

Got water? Check!

Maybe a show or some music in the background to help spread the good vibes? Check!

Plushie assistant? Check!

Now, do you feel well-rested and with enough energy to clean? That's the most important part, little starlings can't shine as bright if they don't have the energy!

All set? Alright!

Now, the most important thing here is to do your best, because that's the best you can do! Even if it's just picking up a few plushies, just making your bed, even a single piece of trash! Progress is still progress, no matter how small, and your room's all that much cleaner! That's the important part.

And I'll be right here if you need me, need my help to reach something, maybe wanna sit and take a break, whatever you need!

Let's see what we can get done!

If you work better in certain amounts of time at a time and like a bit of a game...

I've got a special mission for you, little starling! How many minutes or seconds at a time do you think you'll have the energy to clean?

Okay, awesome! We can set a timer for that amount, and see how much we can clean in that time! It's not a race, of course, but it's kinda fun to make it like a game.

I do this a lot, sometimes I keep going after the timer stops 'cause I tend to get into a rhythm, but we can stop and relax at any point if you need a break- cleaning is hard work, after all!

Alright, ready? Set? Go!!! >:D

If you're trying to clean a bigger space all at once (like me, trying to clean my whole room... ^^;)...

Alright, let's see... Y'know, I kinda like sorting things, and starting in one area, that way we can have at least one clean area, and everything gets organized!

It's like a little scavenger hunt!

Hm, let's see...

We could start with the trash, since that all goes in the trash can and won't pile up anywhere in your space.

And then the dishes if you've got any you're not using, I can take 'em out for you! ^w^

Okay, cool, got that done! Check!

Now... I like to start with cleaning my bed off, since it's a nice place to sit when it's break time, but we can start wherever you'd like!

Just a bit at a time, making little piles of everything, or bringing things to the places they belong!

There you go, fantastic job!

Look at all this progress you've made, little one! Sure took lots of energy, huh? Good thing we can relax, now, even Toby's tired...

You did amazingly, I'm very proud of you! And now, you have a cleaner space, no matter how big or small!

🌟🦒 Starling School Announcement! 🦝 🌟

Weekly Question, Coloring Sheets and Worksheets included!

Pet-names used: Little starling(s)

Good morning, my little starlings and friends! ^w^ I hope we're all doing well!

This one's another longer post, I'll be talking about the app Sandbox below the cut!

Maybe I should start making a tag for these... ^^;

I've decided to start taking one day of the week to post a question, a coloring page and/or a worksheet (or maybe a few!) for you all to do if you'd like! I'll try to make them themed!! :D

If you have any you'd like me to ask or send in, please feel free to tell me! :D

You can send them to my inbox or reblog or- however you choose to send them to me, but you don't have to!

If you need help finding sites to fill these out in or can't print them out, or just have trouble completing them, let me know!! I'll try to edit them to make them easier to fill in if you're doing so digitally, I typically do so through a pixel art site called Piskel.

You can send these to me whenever you'd like if you'd like to, they don't have to be completed within the week, I'll just be posting new ones each week!

Weekly Question!

What is or are some of your favorite animals?

Where do they live?

What would it be like to keep them as a pet? :0

(And whatever else you want to add in, feel free to ramble and babble away!! I LOVE animals!! :D)

You can answer as many or as few of these as you'd like! ^w^

Coloring Sheets!

Worksheets!

Baby Steps: Drinking Water!

This is the first installment in a series of posts I'd like to do expanding on some of the things I've talked about here (which- blew up by the way??? thank you all so much??? <3) and here!

Long intro/backstory to this post series below!!

I often tend to immediately tense up at the thought of handling a big upcoming project or tackling something I've procrastinated on or neglected to do, even adding things to my daily routine like brushing my teeth or wearing my retainer- even drinking water, since I've spent a majority of my time in my room just sitting, over the past few years.

I know I have different little posts 'n' such that talk about these things already, but I want to expand on things and get a little more in-depth on advice and things that have worked for me and helped me out!

This series is separate from everything else, though I'll probably list more things in other "regression activity lists" or scenes- You might see some of the same content in multiple posts, is what I'm trying to say- but I do that because different things work for different people, and I know regression in particular isn't all sunshine and rainbows for everyone. I want to try to appeal to a wider audience and learn more from the community, be a bigger part of the community so I can help people out, because that's something I enjoy.

My regression in particular is voluntary and solely for stress-relief, so to me, I kinda feel like I only know surface-level things about it, although I've been doing my research.

There may not be that much to it anyhow, I just-

I just wanna help people as best I can, I think. ^^; Which is why I'm so intent on interaction and explaining that I don't know everything but that I want to learn, so that I can help y'all out.

Anyway!!

★ This will probably be a repeat bullet point in this series, but if you have a device that can set alarms, maybe a timer of some sort- any kind of time-keeping device that dings in certain intervals, I'd recommend using it.

Alarms on your phone, timers, any little reminders you can make to help you with the things you struggle with, if you're like me and stuck sitting a lot or don't do much during the day (or are the complete opposite and do so much during the day) that you tend to neglect taking care of yourself.

★ Fill up or grab a water bottle whenever you start your day or are about to do something, and keep it with you! This way if you do end up thirsty, you don't have to stop what you're doing and worry about getting water, you'll already have it on you!

When it gets empty, that's what you've got your reminders for! Maybe every half hour or so to check how much water you've got and if you need to refill, or maybe make something as a reminder once the bottle's empty to refill, just so you've still got water and don't have to go back and forth to fill up a cup so often.

★ You could also put ice or fruit in your water! Different shapes or sizes, and whatever fruit (or veggie? I've heard cucumbers taste good!) you want if that sounds yummy! I like my water with lemon sometimes. -w-

I'm not recommending any sort of flavoring or those Cirkul water bottles with the flavor pods because I'm not sure how healthy or reliable they are, or how much sugar they have, stuff like that. If anyone has any info on those sorts of things they use and would recommend, please feel free to share!

★ You can customize your water bottle, sippy, bottle, bowl (for the pets!) with whatever you want! Maybe stickers, maybe a straw, you could get one with your favorite characters on it- make it fit and customizable so it works for you, have fun decorating it and make it something appealing to the eye so it might get you to take a sip!

If you have any other tips, feel free to share! ^w^

Know that I'll always be here for you if you need me, and I'm very proud of you for trying!

I love this! I’m just adding on for the flavored water area = it is completely fine to have flavored water from a packet or a cirkul bottle style!! You’re still getting hydration with a much lower sugar count than something like juice. If you use something like cirkul they even have options for different sweetners from their standard one to Splenda. The kids lineup uses Splenda exclusively!

user change! clovers-housetree -> sunshine-and-starling revamp in progress !

Hello, again, my little pup!! ^w^

I've been good!! It's spring, here, for me, and it rained this morning, so it's been a nice and peaceful start to a productive day! :3

A drawing tablet sounds amazing! I bet you're quite the little artist! ^w^ I'm actually taking an Art Appreciation class, and one of my assignments this week is to draw,, I haven't drawn consistently, but I love art, so maybe I'll be able to learn, one of these days! :0

I've also found that I like making Pinterest boards or just moodboards for my f/os and fictional cgs,, :0 That's awesome that you can draw them!! :3

I hope you have a lovely day, little one, it's lovely to hear from you again! ^w^ <3

☀️Sunny Caregiver☀️

🌻Made By Me! Free to Use🌻

For the caregivers who are always smiling. Who bring joy into every room. Who radiate warmth, even when their littles are stormy. This is for the CGs who make silly faces, who always have stickers in their pocket, who greet regressors like it’s the best part of their day — because it is. They sing off-key lullabies. They high-five you after finishing your snack. They turn “bad days” into giggle fits and blanket forts.

💛This identity can include neurodivergent regressors, system littles, or anyone who doesn’t experience regression in a linear or “standard” way.

🌙 Sleepy Caregiver Flag 🌙

😴Made by Me! Free to Use!😴

For caregivers who are always a little tired — but still soft, still present, still trying their best. This is for the CGs who yawn while tying your shoes. Who forget the bedtime story halfway through and mumble the rest with their eyes closed. Who carry heavy bags under their eyes and extra snacks in their pocket.

💤This identity can include neurodivergent regressors, system littles, or anyone who doesn’t experience regression in a linear or “standard” way.
