Thinking about Little! Viktor hargreeves with trauma from his past cg (Peabody, probably?) and his siblings trying to help take care of little him :(
Ahhh this breaks my heart :( let Vicktor have a good time please he deserves a break! I do absolutely have thoughts about his though
Little Viktor can get very clingy and doesn’t like to be left alone ever. It feels too much like he’s being ignored
Luther has taken to carrying regressed Viktor around with him very frequently. Diego likes to carry Viktor too but Luther’s superhuman strength makes it much more sustainable for him to be the one holding Viktor most of the time
Viktor also hates small enclosed spaces both when he's big and when he's little. It gets worse when he’s small though. Klaus specifically is very understanding of this fear (since its one he shares) and is the first to volunteer to stay behind with Vicktor is the family is going somewhere too confined
Baths are an absolute no for little Viktor. He doesn't like to be washed by another person. It reminds him way too much of his time with Peabody
Unfortunately little Viktor does still need a reliable way to get clean. So far the best method is to play some kind of game involving water like turning on the sprinklers and letting him run around in that. The second best method is a fully clothed Luther standing in the shower holding a fully clothed Viktor
Viktor also has a complicated relationship with music when regressed. He finds it very soothing but it is also occasionally a PTSD trigger for him. Five spent a lot of time putting together playlists of songs that Viktor has never responded negatively to. It's not 100% reliable but it does a pretty good job most of the time
When little Vicktor does have a flashback Five is the best at calming him down. He’s no stranger to PTSD and has picked up a lot of tricks for dealing with it
