um you don't have to write 4 this if you don't want to and I'm really sorry if I'm bothering you but what would the tfc group, dunno what to call them I'm sorry, do if Mc was a voluntary regressor but struggled with actually regressing? Coming from irl experiences 🥀 again sorry if I'm bothering at all!!!
Darling I wouldn't have the asks open if I didn't want asks! You're completely welcome to ask anything you please (sfw ofc) and I've honestly thought about this myself! Cartoons and stuff really don't work for me so we'll go with the struggles today 🩷
Pierrot:
Depending on WHY you can regress he most definitely encourages you, telling you it's alright and that he won't judge you, and if that's the worry then he'll even grab a pacifier or something and use it just to show you he doesn't mind.
If it's just the block and that it's a struggle to get into the headspace he'll make the room as quiet and calming as possible, fairy lights, favorite snacks and trying to get you to join him in playing with stuffies. He'll wrap you in blankets and hold you as close as he can to get you to try and relax into it.
Harlequin:
As bad as it sounds, I think at one point of you trying and not succeeding he'll try stressing you into it. Not by him being the cause of stress but just putting you in a situation that will leave you in a state of being scared/stressed/ or anxious about something to the point your brain will immediately grab whatever it can to cope.
If that doesn't work he'll do his best to talk to you like a tiny child for the entire day and as long as it takes. He can be extremely patient when he needs to, he'll distract you and wait for you to space out before he slowly starts offering you things for your headspace and noticing you starting to slip. But he doesn't get excited, he doesn't spook you away from it. He just stays nice and calm.
Jester:
Hypnosis. If he can't be near you he'll send you a playlist he created for you full of YouTube videos. But for the most part he just gets you in that trance and helps you get started, then slowly let you come back to it on your own until by the end of the time he's not even hypnotizing you.
If that's not an option (can't be hypnotized) he'll also somewhat follow Harlequins way but he'll wait for you to get extremely tired and then start all of the quiet voices that make you cling to him like he's the only thing left and just hope that when you wake up you'll still be little. If he catches you waking up he'll continue talking to you and playing with your hair.
Ticket Taker:
He doesn't really know so he just asks Jester, who can't help because he's busy. So he'll take you to a toy store and let you get whatever you think will be helpful. Stuffies, cups, board games you name it he'll get it and make a list of what things you seem to be more attached to.
He also takes time to schedule it so you start falling into a rhythm and your brain knows when to start accepting triggers and cues for going little instead of randomly springing it on you and leaving you not knowing how to react.
Doctor:
He studies you to see if maybe you're trying to regress to the wrong age. Maybe you'd be better off in an older or younger headspace? He may try getting you to an older headspace first and slowly helping you down into your target headspace. Everyone does it differently, maybe you just need to start differently too? But he'll keep you under close observation without judging you, if anything he probably told you about it.
If worse comes to worse he'll work up a medicine he can give you to make your head feel lighter, softer and fuzzier so you can start looking around without focusing on anything specific and just letting you smile and point at whatever it is you see so he can explain it to you.
I also apologize if im making things hard, and I genuinely will enjoy what you choose to do and what parts you do, and feel free to ignore me and my extra stuff if im annoying you
noooope it’s fine lol i literally run this so that y’all can ask for things like this? it takes a lot more than you trying to make sure you get what you want out of this to annoy me.
please, specify away. if i can’t make something work, i’ll just tweak it til it does.
also in terms of your drawbacks ask, ill just add them into the other one. it won’t be hard. it’ll just make the answer longer lol.
Please stop apologizing to me for taking a while with replies. I GET IT. You guys have lives outside of RPing, or just flat-out have trouble finding your muse. Not everyone can reply as absurdly fast as I tend to. It’s fine. I’ve literally waited a year for replies before. I just legit hate seeing people apologize to me in the tags like ‘omg I’m sorry this is like a month late.’ We’re RPing for fun, not writing English reports. There is no due date.
Trust me, I’ve literally waited a year for replies before. If anything, just seeing you less active RPers in my feed makes me happy.))
You don't have to apologize about my birthday. I'm used to having shitty birthdays. I only remember my 16th birthday and the weekend of my 18th. so although you promised me we would hang out and nothing went as planned, I swear I'll be okay.
Could somebody please post JUST ONE PICTURE in the knitting tag WITHOUT apologizing for existing? Every picture has comments like "ignore my face" or "sorry about my arms" or some other little piece of self-hate.
You're all gorgeous and I'm getting a little tired of hearing you talk down to yourselves. We all think that stuff about ourselves, but I guarantee that no one else was thinking anything bad about your arms, your face, your butt, your ankles or anything else until you went and TOLD US TO HATE THEM.
