Caregiver Gracie Green Headcanons!
TW: coercive/hypnotic mentions
when she found out you were a regressor, she wanted to use her hypnosis for good! she's kinda morally gray though, so even if you don't wanna be little at the moment, if she thinks being regressed would be good for you, she'd make you go into headspace BUT atleast she'd take the best care of you!
has very good knowledge of child development, behaviors, and the role a caregiver has on them, so you're in good hands!
best tantrum defuser, lets you cry and feel it all out and when you're not so emotionally charged, does grounding and regulating techniques with you.
prefers to be called Ms. Gracie or Miss, but she'll allow you to call her whatever you want!
her favorite petnames for you are friend and toy, but she also likes kiddo, honey, little one-- really anything that emphasizes how little/kidlike you are
loves to talk about herself in third person
"friend, that's not how we clean up! ms gracie wants you to pick up your goldfish"
personifies toys wayyyy too much?? if you ever throw one or don't play nice with one, she gasps like "oh no, no, no! little one, that wasn't very nice! we do NOT treat our toys like that....they are here to bring us joy!"
BUT atleast she buys you ALLL the toys you want! (never from playtime co though-)
doesn't mind taking you on a tour of the surface level factory, in fact, she loves coercing you to regress before so that when you guys go in together, it's such a magical experience! exploring a toy factory as a kid? she loves that!
very interesting approach to misbehavior.....
if she notices you're about to misbehave or catch you in the early stages, she crouches down to your level like "little one, are you being a good baby? look at your hands and that cookie jar...I don't think they're supposed to be in there...do you? mm, yeah so let's put that back because ms gracie would be sooooooo sad to put you in timeout like a bad toy, yeah? youre such a good baby."
if youre caught red handed, on the way to timeout or sitting you at a table for lines, she huffs like "ms gracie is so sad....it was a sunny day, but she has a mischevious little kid to remind why they should always listen to ms gracie. ms gracie doesnt like punishing her kiddos..."
After you've done your time, she expects you to recite what you did wrong and how you'll never do it again. BUT afterwards she gives you a big hug and acts all cheerful so don't worry too much!
oh and also constant background noise in the house--like nostalgic sounds like happy childish music or nostalgic cartoon characters!
dresses like a kindergarten teacher, lots of primary and bright colors that always make you feel tiny!
doesn't let you know about the details of her job, just that she is the adjustment counselor, nothing more!
reads you bedtime stories targetted with lessons for kids like listen to your parents, clean up after yourself, be nice to others, etc.
oh and also she personifies the storybook characters too, pointing at them like "oh no! little bunny is so sad! how would you feel if you were bullied by a big scary crow?"
if you vent to her, she takes it as a chance to be like "oh silly silly, you're just a little baby! babies dont have body image issues or fears...they just play with blocks and get lots of love from ms gracie!" and she regresses you
Chat I can't lie I'm actually so obsessed with Gracie Green from poppy playtime that I'll probably lowkey highkey make an agere fic because oh my GOD idk she has such good caregiver potential
