Thank you to those who leave comments under regressor creations and to those who scream in the tags. It is SUCH a joy seeing people be greatful and not only does it make me feel more fulfilled but it's so good to know that these creators are getting the recognition they deserve :)
Whether it's just a "hey I liked this, thank you" or more detailed points you enjoyed or going feral, I really encourage anyone reading this post to let that blogger feel appriciated.
💙 - telemachus is a flip (little lean) that takes the role of a big brother when he’s caregiving and usually pet regresses to a pup/wolf when he’s little. the only time he doesn’t pet regress is with his parents, particularly with odysseus because they both see it as a means of “starting over”.
💙 - he really enjoys risk play— climbing on things, jumping around, and rolling around with argos and the other hunting dogs of ithaca. he often comes home with scraped knees and its to the point where athena (and hermes) silently watch from afar to keep him safe (particularly before odysseus gets home) because he’s a rowdy puppy with no concept of self-preservation.
💙 - with odysseus gone, penelope depressed and busy running the kingdom, and most of the boys his age being too old (or too angry at his father’s involvement with the war) for him to play with, telemachus grew up very isolated. when he regresses, he hates being alone and has cried more than once when his parents have had to step away for even a moment. it genuinely breaks both of their hearts.
💙 - he still has all the toys that his father carved for him when he was a baby, and all the blankets and clothing his mother made him. when odysseus returned home and found out about telemachus’ regression, he took it in stride (because, really, nothing can shock him at this point and he’s really just glad to be back) and started to carve him even more toys to play with. they often play together on the floor of telemachus’ room, which does a number on odysseus’ back.
💙 - because athena often calls him her little wolf, regardless of his headspace, hermes started calling him a little wolf in sheep’s clothing and uses it as an excuse to call him lamb related pet names when he regresses. hermes also just calls him ‘the littlest prince’ and anything else he can think of to tease him (side note: he uses very similar sheep related pet names for odysseus, like father like son).
💙 - telemachus LOVES playing in the water, swimming, and being on a ship when he’s small. in puppy space, he generally loves running around in the forest and athena often tries to incorporate it into his training (playing fetch to practice his reflexes, for example), but he really is a sea wolf at heart and longs for his father to play with him in the water. one time, odysseus threw him off one of ithaca’s docks and was forced to keep doing it despite his aching muscles because telemachus’ giggle every time he resurfaced was too adorable.
💙 - to be honest, most of this is also true when he’s in big brother mode or in an older headspace. the main difference is just that he’s in an older headspace and therefore far more mischievous. he reminds everyone a lot of a teenage odysseus now that he isn’t burdened by the weight of the suitors and his family’s grief. he loves causing trouble, knowing that the resulting “punishment” will be equally insane. odysseus once had him rounding up goats for three hours, only to reveal that for every goat telemachus put in the pen, odysseus picked a different one up and let it go. telemachus, with his mother’s help, got him back by filling the palace with said goats while he was asleep. he spent much of his teenage years in uncertainty regarding his father’s living status, the growing impatience of the suitors, and the looming knowledge that he is growing into a responsibility that no one prepared him for. his older headspace is really healing, in that aspect.
💙 - fiercely protective of his momma, regardless of his headspace, and she finds this endlessly amusing (and equally sweet). when odysseus comes home, it’s a bit of a struggle for telemachus to adapt to someone else taking up his mother’s time, especially when he’s small and prone to the jealousy of a little boy. sometimes, his parents will be lounging together, talking and making up for lost time, and he’ll wiggle between them and rest his head in her lap. other times, he might drag odysseus away from anyone he’s talking to for the same reason. lucky for him, he has both his parents wrapped around his finger and neither of them have any qualms with giving him extra snuggles <3
I’ve just discovered your blog and I think it’s the cutest thing ever 🥹 I experience involuntary trauma-induced regression and it can make me feel really gross and ashamed about myself, but reading about my favourite characters experiencing it in a positive way has honestly made me feel a little better about it.
Anyway! Could we see some puppy!Min-su with CG Thanos? Maybe a fic where Thanos is in need of cuddles anyway (bad day at the studio or something?) and just his luck! Min-su is in puppy mode! And he loves cuddles, so they spend the afternoon wrapped up in each other, with Thanos giving him gentle pets and scratches?
Puppy Regressor! Min-su w/ Caregiver! Thanos
Summary: Thanos has a stressful day and comes home to see that Min-su is puppy regressed.
Contains: Pet regression.
A/N: This is really short bc I’ve never written about petre before, but if I do write about it more in the future, those fics will probably be pretty short as well since there’s not really a whole lot to go off of. But I hope you still enjoy!!
Not proofread.
Thanos let out a deep sigh when he walked through the front door. He had a hard and frustrating day at the studio, due to things just not really going right or working. At this point, all Thanos wanted to do was lay in bed and relax.
So, that’s exactly what he did. Thanos kicked off his shoes by the front door and shuffled upstairs and to his bedroom. He changed into some more comfortable clothes, before collapsing onto his bed and he heavily sighed once more.
The bedroom was quiet and Thanos was left with just his thoughts for a few minutes, before he heard footsteps coming closer to the room. He perked up a little, and watched as Min-su curiously walked into the room.
“Hey, Min-su.” Thanos smiled a little at him, noticing that Min-su was regressed. However, he didn’t know if he had age regressed or puppy regressed. He could never really tell right away.
Though, when Thanos was answered by Min-su letting out a small, happy yip, he knew for a fact that he was in his puppy headspace. Thanos’ smile grew bigger as he gently patted the bed with his hand.
“Come here, Min-su. Come on, buddy.” Min-su clumsily ran to the bed and jumped up on it, immediately butting his head against Thanos’ chest as he kept on with his quiet yipping.
“Oh, such a happy boy today, huh?” Thanos laughed quietly as he gently ruffled Min-su’s hair. Min-su wiggled his bottom a little, mimicking the motions of a wagging tail as he stared at Thanos with wide eyes and a grin.
It wasn’t long at all, before Min-su had climbed on top of Thanos and made himself comfortable on his stomach, which Thanos didn’t mind in the slightest. In fact, after the day he had, he really did just need to relax and cuddle with someone.
“Good boy.” Thanos smiled as he ran his fingers through Min-su’s hair, while Min-su stared at him and would occasionally let out an excited but quiet bark.
Thanos wrapped his arms around Min-su, using one hand to scratch Min-su’s scalp, which he absolutely loved. Min-su rubbed his face against Thanos’ chest as he whined in a happy and somewhat playful manner.
Thanos laughed at the little sounds coming from Min-su as he started to feel himself become settled and calm. Thanos was so glad Min-su was puppy regressed after the day he had. Cuddling him and taking care of him made him feel a lot better after his stressful day.
You fully believe this character is or could be a regressor/cg/flip/something. There's bits in canon that you can point to and say that's why and there's reasons why they would specificially regress or be a caregiver! A headcanon or heartcanon.
For sillies. Feasibly, you could write ANY character to be part of the community! You don't actually think it would fit but you're either imagining it because you're fond of the character and there's just something about it or you're going through all the characters in your head an applying babification to them. I call these "regressorland headcanons" where you prioritise the regression over being true to canon.
Both are great Both are entertaining! But gosh it can be hard to get yourself to answer "do I actually think this would fit or am I just doing this for the sake of it/doing what i think could possibly apply"
