Caregiver ; Emery Walsh Headcanons
self indulgent & very personal because she is my mama! apologies in advance. boyre focus, but not exclusive I promise. some mentions of cursing if that upsets you (nothing explicit). padded regression mentioned at the bottom.
🩺 ; boy mom emery! — while not strictly a caregiver for masculine regressors, i think she would be better with them and have a soft-spot for them. I think as a kid she was more masculine also and so she definitely has a better understanding for masculine regressors. (I also think if she regresses, she would be boyre oriented but thats for another post).
🩹 ; inexperienced emery! — she really is trying her best but I think she isn't that experienced with age regression and caregiving in general and that definitely sometimes shows.. her learning to be a better caregiver for her regressor because she cares soo much. researching and asking questions online. if you ask though, she will deny it.. very embarrassed at how inexperienced she is, especially when she sees other caregivers and their regressors.
🩺 ; love language! — I think emery struggles with reassurance and words, and so her main love language is acts of service and gifts.. giving her regressor whatever they want! buying them toys and outfits. leaving them notes around the house and in their lunch that she packs. lounging around with her regressor in silence, just watching them play - or if she's feeling up to it, playing with them!
🩹 ; cursing! — she tries her hardest not to, really. but sometimes (a lot of times) she slips up and will curse in front of her regressor. even goes as far as making a swear jar (and letting her regressor decorate it), with all the money being spent on her regressor.. buying toys and gear for them with the money. sometimes even just spending extra because she feels really bad about it. being extremely embarassed and mortified if her regressor is big on mimicking her.. especially if she curses in front of others and her regressor mimics it.
🩺 ; sickness! — even though she knows she shouldn't be so nervous, she gets really upset and scared when her regressor gets sick or feels bad. shes a doctor, she can take care of her regressor! but theres always some sort of doubt in her mind.. her wrapping her regressor up in multiple blankets and making them soup. monitoring their fluid intake and temperature constantly.. shes really good with sickness even though she doesnt believe it. the biggest comfort for her regressor when theyre sick. cuddling with her regressor, not wanting to let them go. she cant stand her regressor being sick or feeling bad.
🩹 ; matching! — emery definitely loves matching with her regressor, even if its something as simple as wearing matching bracelets. I think she also would let her regressor decorate or pick out stuff for her to wear. letting her regressor pick out stickers to put on her scrub top, or a stuffed animal for her bag.
🩺 ; gear bag! — (padded regression cw) emery carrying a regression gear bag wherever she goes, just in case. even going as far as keeping some gear in her locker at work, because theres always a chance her regressor will regress while emery is at work! keeping backup diapers everywhere because she has to be prepared for anything! no one being allowed to open the glovebox of her car because it only has backup regression gear for her regressor. pacifiers, bottles, sippy cups, etc. I like to think she also carries a stuffed animal around for her regressor-- again, just in case!
