After monsters were sealed underground, many fell into despair. They all had to grow up and face the reality—They'd never be free again.
It was dull, a hopeless and bland land. Monster children were forced to give up their childhoods to help research a way out, and the adults were stressed out of their minds.
Everything was so tense, so serious...
Until a human fell.
The human was a teen, messy brown hair with fair skin and soft pink eyes. Rosey cheeks and stress visible on their face.
Chara.
Their son Asriel found them, and brought them home. The human... acted childish, after they awoke. At first it confused the royal family, but not necessarily... made them feel bad?
No, no... if anything, it awakened a new sort of emotion in them.
Care, they wanted to care for them.
The human's SOUL was a soft pink, the same colour as their eyes. It had a warm glow.
Wonderous. It had the trait of Wonder.
And from that day forward,monster kind was shown a new way to cope.
Age regression, or dreaming. Petre as well, along with their caregivers. There suddenly wasn't such a rush to grow up, and everyone seemed more than happy to exist while enjoying the joys of youth.
Years went on, and while progress on a way to break the barrier was slow. It was much easier to handle, now that they had some sort of escape.
Extra lore under cut!
In AgereTale, age regression/dreaming, pet regression/dreaming, caregiving—It's all very much normalized! Shops that carry baby supplies also keep adult/teen sized little/middle gear!
Another thing, Monsters have hearts on their face, each meaning a different role!
Pink means the monster is an Age regressor!
Blue means the monster is a Pet regressor!
Purple means the monster is an Age dreamer!
Green means the monster is a pet Dreamer!
And yellow means they're a caregiver/babysitter!
Monsters can have all five at once, or a mixture of various colours!
The hearts come and go as suited. So a monster that recently became a caregiver will have a yellow heart appear on their face!
Here's an example of having all five hearts, like Papyrus!
Also, the fallen human Frisk is a teen as well! And they also have the pink trait, Wonder!
@zombiestar1934 figured you'd wanna see the Paps drawing!
And yes, this is a Canon part of the UTMV Agereverse! ^^
Nightmare will (reluctantly) get Dust cigarettes if he's asked, but if Dust it slipping? NM might hand him a pack of candy cigarettes, or ban him from any all together.
Killer does not like taking his ADHD meds, because he hates swallowing pills. So Cross will hide it in apple juice or something. (<- note, please don't dissolve your medication unless it's okay to do so!)
Horror goes through spouts of refusing to eat and or forgetting it entirely. Solution? Edible teethers.
Cross never fully regresses, nor is he a big fan of it. But sometimes he does want to bake with NM or Horror, and have someone supervise him like a kid.
NM is great with dealing with meltdowns... on the account he can cast a minor calming spell.
Cross is great with dealing with meltdowns, on the account that he actually talks them through it, and finds out a solution to whatever caused it.
NM is chubby in this AU, due to his goop. And with the added vest, he is incredibly huggable.
"...I'm assuming the question is in the context of regression, not just in general."
"For Cross, he much prefers being a baby sitter, so I would say his favourite activity is playing those... 'RPG's.. with Killer."
"Speaking of Killer, his would have to be his consoles. He does also enjoy running around, thank stars. He has some way to get his energy out that isnt screaming at a screen."
"As for Horror... he just tries to eat everything. So I would say his favourite thing to do is chew on things, or dinner."
"...And for Dust... perhaps being carried. He will absolutely go into a meltdown if I am not holding him." *He said, placing down at regressed Dust, who was being carried on his hip. A tendril wrapped around him for extra security.*
This lovely guy was made with the help of a super awesome, co-helper, amazingness of @absurdumsid! Not only did they provide a ton of design for Farm, but also talked about it with me the entire time he was being designed!
Also! Farmer was originally suggested to me by @nightmareishomophobic with this moodboard! So a huge shout out to fae too!!
The star teether, bow on the hat, and bracelet was DIRECTLY from Sid, tysm you're super cool!
(Don't know what agere is? Info can be found here! ^^)
You in the undertale Fandom? Are you ALSO an age/pet regressor? Maybe a dreamer, caregiver, babysitter, flip?

A speck of Dust. (Fanfic.)
Art!
Art that's just for the AU in general! ^^
"I didn't even do anything!"
I'm always taking suggestions for Sanses in the AU! And yes, that includes Sanses from your OWN AUs as well!
For example! "Could you do Fell as a dreamer?" Or, whatever other ones you could think of! (Note, if you suggest your own Sans, please give me a reference for them, and a loose/detailed idea of what you want them to look like and like to do!)
I have a lot to do in the Agere!Verse, but heres some bad sans facts!
Dust loves weighted blankets. He's rather touch starved, and really just likes to cuddle anything remotely like a person or weighted.
Killer loves finger painting! He's a huge sensory seeker, and often likes tactile tots and activities!
Horror chews on everything. Nightmare mostly just gives him chewelry to nom on!
Cross when he's age dreaming, likes shows targeted towards tweens and such. Think the owl house!
Nightmare makes pancakes on Sunday. Sunday is when everyone is likely to regress!
Cross helps him—Cross perfers being a babysitter over regressor!
When the truce (Keep in mind, there's a truce between Error and Ink, and The bad senses and star sanses in this AU!) Happened, Killer and Swap started having playdates, being the most energetic regressors!
Killer will carry Dust in case Nightmare and or Cross are for some reason, not doing it.
Dust—Poor guy, he absolutely pushes away and neglects his regression. Often turning to yucky coping mechanisms to try and distract!
