IKEDA DAIKI AGERE HEADCANONS

requested by anon!

regression age? : Usually between 2-5!!

caregivers or babysitters?: Obviously Tei & Ruka, but hirose as a babysitter & denden as kind of a playmate / older sibling cg + Sou

Content warnings for implied abuse (due to daiki's past ingame) though only mentioned once and not in detail.

Ikeda is a pretty young regressor, usually to around toddler age. He has a sort of oral fixation (biting and putting anything he can into his mouth to chew on) for which he got chewlery and later on also a pacifier!

He's embarassed about it when hes big , but small him loves plushies, toys, pacifiers, sippy cups and bottles. It kind of takes a little warming up, but it brings him a lot of comfort.

I strongly believe in the mama tei headcanon. He sees tei as his mama , though doesn't actually call him that unless very small. Ruka switches between being a big sister and also a mother figure depending on how young he regresses.

I headcanon Ikeda actually being selectively mute , specifically when he's regressed. He has a hard time talking and mostly communicates through non-verbal cues. He isn't much of a talker or babbler and in general is very low energy!

His favorite activities areee... naptime. Or drawing! His passion is drawing and he always shows his creations to tei and ruka , who praise him lots for it. Even when he's small he's still quite talented.

Hirose acts as a babysitter when Ruka or tei aren't around. It took a bit for Daiki to trust him, but he learned that hirose was more scared of him and he is of hirose (/silly). Though if very small and apart too long he starts crying for tei.

When he regresses older , to 8-10 (which is very rare) , he still has his streak of being insufferable, but in a more genuinely joking way. He tends to tease people in a more light-hearted way, but he doesn't genuinely insult them or try to hurt them in a significant way.

He rarely regresses older because a lot of the times it comes with memories of his past. Luckily with Tei there it's easier, but a lot of the time he regresses to toddler age , where he hasn't been hurt and felt safe and warm.

Him and denden are playmates!! Denden is a permaregressor , and as stated before , instictively acts as a older sister to people who regress younger than her. She enjoys playing with daiki a lot! They usually draw togheter , but also play games together if he has enough energy.

Would technically get along with a lot of other regressors, but i believe he enjoys solitude with his main cgs a lot more. Playing with sou , erina or denden is fun but very tiring, and especially when he's very young he gets sleepy easily. Being tired or hungry tends to make him cranky and upset, or causes him to panic a little.

Sou is also one of his babysitters! Not as often , but definetly more often than Hirose. They also act as playmates and regress together sometimes. Sou has a way of understanding daiki , even without much sight or words, bad is a very comforting presence for him <3

— Afterwords

Is it obvious i tend to randomly just get ideas and finish it all in one go /silly , once i get inspired and start writing it's actually pretty easy to me!!

Can i please have Teikeda angst hcs 🥹

OKAY so this was sitting in my askbox for.. longer than I would've wished. It was kind of hard because average teikeda headcanons? That i can do! But specifically one's that are ANGSTY are hard.. buuuutt I'll try anyways..

Tei feels EXTREMELY guilty over not being able to protect Ikeda all the time, sorta developing a complex of "He NEEDS me so i need to be there at all times or else i failed"

Y'know how Ikeda said a good mom would do anything for her child? I think little!ikeda actually calls tei "mama" or atleast thinks of him as a mom-figure sometimes due to Tei quite literally doing everything in his power to protect him.

Tei keeps working himself deeper and deeper into burnout without even noticing it, which worries both Ruka and little!ikeda, because it makes him more easy to snap at ikeda, which in return triggers ikeda.

<- based on that, i think ikeda slowly sees tei as more and more of a safespace, causing him to get regress a lot more around him but also get more easily triggered by Tei being mad at him or hurting him in some way

<- whenever tei DOES get mad he feels so, so incredibly guilty after. Even though Ruka tries to reassure him that surely ikeda forgives him and everybody makes mistakes, knowing he failed at the only thing he is trying to do (make sure ikeda isn't hurt) eats him up inside.

Little!Ikeda clings to any semblance of familial affection, causing him to get extremely clingy to both tei and Ruka.

Yeaaahh.. that was all for now, i reeeealllyy tried my hardest.. swearsies.. im not the best at angsty headcanons..
