Can we get some more tiny!Damien hcs pretty please? 🥺👉👈 I love him so much!

My goodness tiny Damien is popular (for good reason!!!) Of course you can have more headcannons!!!

🌸One of Damien's favorite things to do when regressed (aside from sleep) is to learn new things about nature from William! In all honesty, he just likes listening to William talk.

🤍Since he's not very verbal, Celine and William teach him a few ASL signs for when he's small!!! (you can thank @tinytinybumblebee for this one, it's so cute!!! I like to imagine Celine holding his hands and making the shapes for him the first few times, and when Celine is trying to keep him calm, she'll take his hands and teach him a new sign.)

🌸He's very well known by his caregivers to just start crying, he's a very emotional little one. You'd think this poor boy broke his leg from the way he was crying, but in reality, he just scraped his knee.

🤍The DA is more of his babysitter when he regresses at work (being the Mayor is too much for the poor baby), and they aren't sure how to help all of the time, so usually a breakdown and a regression leads to the DA sneaking him out of the office to go get a treat!

🌸His balance when he's small is very bad, and is usually an indicator that he's regressed! Celine can see him trip over something and go "oh he's baby"

🤍Keeps a plushie in his desk, just in case he needs it!!! It's a little red bear, and he calls it his assistant.

🌸Very protective of his plushies. Any of his other toys are fair game if he's with another regressor, but if they so much as look at Damien's plushies (especially Mama or Admiral), he's throwing a fit.

🤍Other than when he's scared someone will take his toys, he usually does pretty well with other regressors, but he can be fussy depending on his mood. Celine and William have learned it's best to have playdates at his house instead of anywhere else for the sake of ease when it comes to Damien's likelihood to become upset.

You don't gotta answer this if it makes you uncomfortable, but maybe like.. Yancy, Dave, and William with a little who has an eating disorder?

It’s okay, I don’t mind!!! I’ve had experiences with EDs in the past, and I hope you’re doing ok anon :{ since you didn’t specify a particular type of ED, I wrote these with the idea that the reader has a hard time eating or possibly keeping food down

Yancy is patient, and tries to help you take your mind off of it whenever possible. He’s always very encouraging of you and wants nothing but the best for his kiddo, so he helps you try and find different ways to make sure you’re getting the nutrients you need, like supplements! He’s also very gentle with you if you have a hard time keeping your food down, and often sits in the bathroom with you when you’re sick.

Dave knows that eating disorders are serious and has dealt with them in the past, so he feels a strong sense of protectiveness and caring towards his little one. He’ll never force you to eat or make you feel guilty about not feeling able to, but he does encourage you and try to make you feel better while also using techniques he learned in therapy.

William is startled and doesn’t really know how to help at first, but he tries to be a comforting, steady prescience for his little one. There are lots of times where he tries to encourage you to eat and you just won’t have it, often leading to a heavy sigh and lots of hugs, but he works so hard to understand your disorder and work through it with you, promising he loves you on good and bad days.

Aaa do you perhaps have some tiny!Damien hcs you wanna share ♡ ? 👉👈 - @tinytinybumblebee

Of course!!! Have some baby Damien HCs!!!

🌸very much so an involuntary regressor; he gets stressed really easily, and when he does, he tends to shut down and suddenly he’s a baby

🤍regresses to around 2-5!

🌸non-speaking baby, for sure. He has to talk all day every day to adults he doesn’t like, so regressing with him is very quiet.

🤍his main cgs are Celine, William, and the DA, with the DA being more of a babysitter for Celine and William.

🌸usually plays with soft toys, like plushies or sensory cubes, even if he’s “too big for them”. His favorite plushies are a cat named Mama and dog named Admiral! Wonder who they’re named after…

🤍has a very active imagination! Even though he doesn’t really speak, he’s often found playing pretend with his stuffed animals, or stimming with them.

🌸nap time is his favorite time of day, that boy is always laying down and sleeping. His favorite places to sleep are in Celine’s bed or in William’s lap!

🤍While Celine and William are both his caregivers, it’s usually best for Celine to be with William when they’re taking care of him; William tends to overestimate what little Damien can do!

🌸the poor baby is very prone to nightmares, so it’s best for one of his caregivers to be nearby at any given time to make everything all better!!!

🤍definitely one of those little ones that give things to their caregivers unprompted. He’ll just walk up to Celine and drop a shiny button in her hand, absolutely beaming, and she just smiles and pockets it. (She and William keep a trinket box of all the bits and bobs Damien has given them; Celine’s favorite is a little thimble, and William’s is a smooth pebble!)

🌸Loves exploring with William outside!!! The two go on scavenger hunts and love playing outside.

I know you've done caregiver Wilford hcs, but how about caregiver William hcs?

-🎂

Oooo of course!!!

🥂The most dada to ever dada-

🔍He loves taking care of regressors with Celine, he doesn’t like being alone when caregiving and Celine is equally as good with regressors.

🥂Often helps take care of Damien! He would consider Damien your baby brother because he’s so small.

🔍A very energetic caregiver who loves to be outside! He’ll often take you exploring out into the woods, or let you play in the pool!

🥂Tends to overestimate what his little one can do or how they’ll react to something. There’s been many an occasion where William will tell the baby a story and they’ll wake him up crying in the middle of the night because they had a nightmare.

🔍Girl dadTM, 100%. William loves playing dress up, having tea parties, getting makeovers, whatever his kiddo wants to do!!!

🥂William loves buying things for you and Damien, especially toys! Often times he has a few he bought stored away until one of you regress again so he can give them to you.

🔍He can carry you around! William is really strong, and can hoist you up and take you wherever you want to go.

🥂William is good with most regressors except for teenagers. He tries his best to be “cool” and “with the times” or whatever teens like, and it leaves him very awkward and unsure of what to do.

🔍A very loving, soft caregiver when the time calls for it. He’ll gently rock you to sleep, kissing your forehead and laying you down to rest. He lets you cuddle whenever you don’t feel like playing too!

🥂Easygoing with younger regressors, usually just letting them sleep in his lap while he does other things.

🔍Excellent at getting babies to stop crying! If you have a skinned knee, William is quick to put a bandaid on it and kiss it better, tickling your sides and making you smile just as bright as you were before you fell!

Do you have headcannons for any of the egos as caregivers with an itty bitty regressor (like, 11 months to a year old) and relies heavily on their caregiver for almost everything when little?

Hmm…I’ll do the WKM trio, why not :D

The Colonel is very soft and gentle with his baby, always making sure that you feel safe and secure. He loves feeling protective over his little one, keeping you swaddled and close to his side, fed and content as you can be.

Damien is constantly cuddling and carrying you on his hip. He keeps a bottle on hand in case you get hungry, or a toy for you to play with if you get bored. Damien is very sweet with his baby, giving you lots of kisses and cuddles.

Actor Mark is treating you just like a baby, leaving you in a playpen or a crib when he needs to go do something and always comes back with something for you. Wether it be a bottle or a new paci, Actor loves getting you new things!

How would William, Engie and Dark be with a little who just clings onto them, just happy to hang out with their carer, not really doing much else unless prompted?

-🐣

William is softly holding you against his chest, smiling happily. He doesn’t mind you being so clingy, and thinks it’s quite cute!

Engineer Mark isn’t really sure what to do because he has so much more energy than you, but he lets you cuddle into his side as much as you like while he works.

Dark is kissing your forehead softly and reminding you he’s there, letting you rest as much as you want, as long as you’re near him.

[the-iplier-daycare]

How about Mama Actor, Wilford, William and Simon with a little whose regression is typically sad instead of happy?

-🐣

Actor Mark knows that his little one’s regression isn’t always the most fun or comfortable thing in the world, so he tries to make it as soft and gentle as he can. Mark is holding you close, letting you fall apart so that he can help you pick up the pieces.

Wilford knows that regressing is hard on you, and is always there to try to make you feel better! He’s soft and silly, trying to make you giggle as he wipes the tears from your eyes and promises that you’ll be alright, you just need time.

William is rubbing your back, gently reminding you that he’s there and that you’re safe with him. He knows that your childhood was hard, and that similarly, regressing isn’t always the most fun thing for you, but he always tries to ride out the waves of sadness with love and patience.

Simon isn’t very good at handling the tears at first, but he eventually learns that what you need is a calm prescience and gentle words that remind you that you’re safe. He’s always willing to hold you, and even teaches you coping strategies to help you deal with the pain.

What about Wilford and William with a little who hates loud noises?

-🧸

Wilford takes a bit longer to notice that the noises make you anxious, but once he does, he's quick to quieten down and try to make you feel comfortable. He often speaks in a stage whisper, speaking just loud enough so that he's audible and sounds silly while still making sure he's quiet enough to make you feel more at ease.

William catches the way you flinch away from loud noises, and acts quickly. He's constantly checking in with you, making sure nothing is too loud, seeing if you need the headphones he bought you, and overall being very knowledgeable on how to handle your triggers.
