KIDRE VS PUPPYDRE EMMA SWAN HEADCANNONS AND IDEAS <3 SNOW, CHARMING AND RUBY ARE HER CAREGIVERS
these are only my vauge loose ideas and should not be read as fact or canon despite taking elements from canon. headcannons begin under the cut. read trigger warnings in tags before proceeding
note: this is alongside the headcannons that Emma is genderfluid using she/he/they/it/pup pronouns, and also needs glasses and wears full time.
take care little loves <3
☆<Kid Emma>☆
regresses anywhere between 3 - 7 years old, as that was the ages she was between leaving her adoptive home up until her third foster house where she started giving up hope that she would ever really find a home again.
her and Lily would regress together when they met, and Emma was super excited bc she never met another person like her.
first caregiver was kinda Nealfire, but he was honestly not that good at it. she was happy though, and he's the reason she ended up being so open about regressing later in life.
rarely regresses involuntarily and actually really enjoys it. Emma has a whole routine and schedule for being little every Saturday.
Em boymodes WAYY more often when regressed, going with more he/him pronouns and enjoying boy stuff.
that does not mean he doesn't love his long hair, and constantly wants Snow or Reggie to style and braid it.
loves old cartoons like he-man, thundercats, x-men, etc. he has a bunch of outfits based on the shows that are borderline closet cosplays and it's amazing.
she told Snow she was agere back during the curse, which resulted in MMB being her caregiver. Snow was, of course, not normal about it after the curse broke and was ecstatic about all the mommy-and-me time she got with Emma. Charming got dragged along and now he's an insufferable boymom.
after a while Ruby began babysitting Emma, and one time brought Reggie alongside her, and that's how Em fiund out Reg is agere and they began being playmates.
whenever she's little she'll trade her contacts for glasses.
bigg on parallel play. she'll zoom her cars around the loft while Reg quietly colours, and that's the best thing ever.
her parents considered getting her a carseat so she can stop fiddling during car rides but the actual convo didn't go well... 8 regressed tantrums and 3 not-regressed mental breakdowns later, it was decided against. but Emmy still always needs a seatbelt and adult supervision.
bedwetter even when big and needs diapers. she's super embarrassed about it and might've cried the first view times she needed a change.
she carries her blankie around EVERYWHERE, keeping it in either a backpack or on a seat next to her as a comfort item.
she also sometimes gives it to other people to sleep with as a sign of affection.
veryyyy spoiled, which she deserves.
never shuts up, she will be the biggest yapper in the room and you gotta respect that.
such a sweet tooth and a veggie hater. she won't even look at the yucky greens.
doesn't need a paci herself but if she's littler she'll take one if little Reggie gives it to her
☆<Puppy Emma>☆
the darn cutest pup in town, she's a tiny wolf like her mommy Ruby!!
prefers "pup" over "cub" bc it's cuter. Granny was the one who started calling her pup when she was in kid-space bc she would play pretend being a puppy with Ruby, and it made her want to try out pet dreaming which was a slippery slope.
puppy dreams mostly when she's already little.
scardy cat (or should I say pup, ha lol no, that's bad, I'm sorry), she cuddles up with her mommy, mama and daddy a lot out of fear of loud noises (storms and rain are a NO), or people being meanies, or bigger pups who could hurt her.
fav person is Reggie bc Reg always brings her treats (like oreos) and gives them headpats. don't tell her parents that though, they'll become distraught and jealous.
she also picked up a biting habit from baby-space Reg, and now they bite each other to show affection. Ruby keeps teasing big-those two about it.
has a bone-shaped chew toy that used to have a squeaker in it before it drove everyone insane.
super over protective of the house, stalks it like her life depends on it
she has some puppy ears, a tail that hooks to her beltloops, and a little collar with her mama's number on it. she likes playing with it.
Reggie gave her some paw-print socks and now that's the only kind she owns
fav thing is running around the park and rolling in grass.
built a pillow-nest as her doggy bed for a long time until her parents bought her one. she now keeps it under her bed and takes it out for nap time.
