Regressor Robin Buckley Headcanons!
one of the most talkative kiddos you have ever met. does that mean you can understand her? lol no she rambles and mumbles and she starts sentences in the middle with a big gasp
honestly a true a kiddo-kiddo. she regresses around 4-7, and she usually stays on that older end. she does like pacis, though, just because theyre a soothing stim for her. but she only likes them on HER terms! no one can offer her one bc they think she's grumpy or something, robin has to ask for it or just go get it lol
steve likes to think hes her cg. and he kind of is; he plays with her, he reads stories with her, he fusses when she gets into shenanigans, and he has an excellent finger-wag to nag at her with. but nancy is her cg, and steve is the babysitter
always the babysitter
nancy absolutely spoils robin rotten. she takes her to the park, she takes her to lunch for a special treat, she gets robin toys, she always lets robin pick out the movie, and very clearly nancy believes that robin can do no wrong when she's small
if steve is fussing at robin for climbing on the furniture and eating a whole bag of chips while she does so, nancy steps in with a sweet voice and coaxes her down, sits with her and snuggles, and robin now knows if she jumps on the furniture nancy will cuddle with her
this is steve's nightmare but its Fine
robin has a swift heart rabbit plush that she takes with her absolutely everywhere when she's small. swift heart is her best friend, is responsible for all her unwise decisions, and most importantly cannot be tried in court on account of being made of fabric and stuffing. so swift heart makes for an excellent accomplice in baby crimes
i like to bring eddie back bc i say so, and he is now best friends with murray, and they do deliveries together. it keeps eddie away from the town where everyone wants him dead, and he can still hang out with his friends (and occasionally participate in crawls)
that being said, eddie always brings surprises for robin when they make deliveries. she now has a full set of rainbow brite dolls, and she has a kazoo. he got her the kazoo specifically to annoy steve with
it works
murray is side-eyeing him and they have a Talk later
they have to tell the rest of the party about robin's regression after she goes on a semi-intelligible ramble on the air about care bears. she's five minutes deep into a discussion about shreeky the villain when steve cuts her off and picks the music
explaining everything goes fairly well (and as it turns out, robin is not the only regressor. and now will and el have a name for their Thing) (el tells the others, but will does Not) (robin still susses him out of course)
she is very clumsy when she's small, and she has an emergency kit filled with cool bandaids
not a very picky eater, but she does need the crusts cut off her sandwiches, and she won't eat anything red. just because its a personal rule :)
she carries around a notebook and colored pencils to doodle, write, play hangman with whoever she can force to play with her, and she fills notebooks within mere weeks. a lot of it is because she writes fairly large when she's small, but also because she has just as much to say on paper as she does out loud, and no one can interrupt her on paper
she will let nancy dress her up in cute outfits as long as she gets candy out of this
piggyback rides from steve are non-negotiable, he will just suddenly have a baby bird on his back. this is fine. same goes for eddie, actually
she has a million nicknames: rob, robby, bobby, robby-bobby, bobbin, robby-bobby-bo-bobby-fee-fi-fo-fobby, baby bird, birdy, tweety bird, the list goes on and on. its to the point where they really can just say any string of words in her general direction, and she'll probably look up
robin doesnt really have any nicknames for her cgs, just steve/stevie and nancy/nance. she will add a long-suffering -uhhhh to the ends of their names when she's particularly whiny, though.
"steeeeeeve-uhhh!!! i dont want juice, i want pop-uhhh!!!"
"naaaancyyyy-uhhhh!!! i dont wanna go to beeeed-uhhh!!!!"
if no one can find her, its probably because she's buried under ten different blankets all at once because she Needs to cocoon herself sometimes. she Needs it haha
swift heart is clearly the one who keeps drawing on the walls dont worry about it robin obviously would never do something like that. obviously. dont ask questions :)
