FLIP! LEX LUTHOR o(❛ ᴗ ❛)o

hi we are so back! lex is a flip in the sense that he regresses in private and hides his gear in safes.. i really can’t imagine him telling anyone on purpose about his regression; even if he knew them his whole life. he’s definitely cg! leaning imo but it’s not a strong lean

*frog blinks at u* hey do you have lex regression headcanons

do i!!!! (this is going to be primarily smallville lex because i feel as though he has the most regression potential, but feel free to read it however) (i also realise most of these are relatively sad hcs, lex is pretty much exclusively a trauma regressor to me i'm afraid)

He either regresses to a child (5-8) or a pre/young teen (11-14), he doesn't ever baby regress because the idea of being even less aware than he is as a child is terrifying to him. He exclusively involuntarily regresses and it's not a pleasant experience 99% of the time.

Mostly regresses due to interactions with his father. Sometimes he'll feel himself slipping talking to Lionel and he just has to let it happen because he knows he was "better" when he was younger because he wouldn't talk back as much. Lex hates those interactions when he stops regressing.

Hasn't ever slipped in front of anybody and they have known, the idea of having a caregiver freaks him out so much. He's only been mistreated by adults when he was a child, so subconsciously he has the fear it will happen again if he's vulnerable and small.

Has no regression gear at all with the exception of a childhood stuffed animal he managed to keep his whole life that he only gravitates towards when he's 5-8. Just curls up with it and cries as quietly as he possibly can.

He does actively try to keep working when he's small because he doesn't want to be seen as being lazy or unproductive, but the words don't make sense and he gets so frustrated by it. Has thrown his computer in a regressed fit of rage and then panicked really really hard when he realised it was broken (when he stopped regressing, it was just Fine. He bought another. But baby Lex couldn't wrap his head around it).

If he's pre/young teen regressed, he sometimes sits and plays the piano for hours. It's distracting and makes him feel productive enough and not guilty that he can't sit and do his work.

Will try extremely hard to fight the regression off for as long as possible but it just makes him feel fuzzy and dissociated all day if he doesn't let it happen, which typically just makes the regression feel worse.

I need to add something happy here sorry uhh he's a big fan of hot chocolate with all the toppings when he's small and will do his best to make it himself. It's warm and comforting and sweet and doesn't remind him of being a child at all, which is great for him.

feel free to send more asks!!! i love asks and interactions yayy

Out of Lex, Lois, and Clark, what do you think each of their favorite stuffie is?

-🖤🔮

Lex only has one stuffed toy, his mother got it for him when he was very, very young and he put it away when he was about 10 or 11 and only touches it when he’s small. It’s a black dog with plastic eyes and has a little red collar around its neck. It was fluffy before but it’s gotten to where the fur is all pressed down from baby Lex holding it and crying with it so much. It was completely his clutch after the meteorite incident, but Lionel stopped letting him use it to get him to “grow up” when he started middle school. He wouldn’t ever let anyone know he still has it and he puts it right back in its box when he’s not regressed anymore. It doesn’t have a name, it’s just “doggy”.

Lois didn’t have any stuffed animals growing up, she had to move a lot due to where General Lane was stationed, so he made sure she kept her possessions light to make it easier (she did get Lucy stuffed animals though). But Clark buys her a beige jellycat bunny at some point, before she ever thought she actually regressed, he just saw it in a shop and thought Lois would like it, and she was absolutely over the moon about it. That’s her favourite, whether she’s regressed or not, but she won’t let go of it when she’s child regressed. When she’s teen regressed, she finds it “cringey”, but still likes to make sure it’s near. She named it “Clarkie” as a joke but it stuck.

Growing up, Clark had so many stuffed animals, especially of farm animals, and he never would’ve chosen a favourite and when he moved to Metropolis, he had to take five of his favourites which was very difficult. He took with him a cow, a cat, a hen, a sheep and a horse. When he’s regressed, Lois tends to just hand him the one that’s closest and he’s not very picky, but his absolute favourite is his cow. He also has a tendency to bite them to get sensory input and then get really upset if he bites them too hard or they get too wet. His cow is called “moo” which sometimes is just Clark making a moo sound.
