" let mama help you, honey, you're too tiny to change yourself.. so sweet for momma, hm? such a brave baby, letting ma help, there — all done, all clean and fresh, my baby picked out such a cute diap ! "
Oh, to snuggle a tiny to sleep and soothe them anytime they fuss. Kissing their forehead and petting hair out of their face, and holding them close as they rub their eyes. You’re so tired, baby. Get some sleep, it’s okay. Bubba is right here, you’re alright. Get some rest now.
Asking them what is it, whenever they wake, just to get the tiniest babbles, the incoherent words and hums, so I can soothe them all over again; my precious little tot. You're so sweet and sleepy. My baby must be worried I'll be gone, if they sleep, but Bubba stays right here, right by their side. I won't ever leave you, baby.
I made a spacehey acc...in an attempt to stop my activity on instagram...2000s middlereg/teenregressors would love this. if you don't know html code stuff, thats okay because me either, i honestly just looked at tutorials alot
speaking of cg!batman i also think little bruce is sooo real
i don’t think he’d regress on purpose it would definitely be involuntary when stressed or in the right environment or someone would have to coax him into little space to relax
people like to joke about his “brucie wayne”persona and the “brucie hungry” panel but genuinely i think with the right person he would regress in a genuine way
like i think either alfred or clark would be caregivers for him 🥹🥹 he’d would definitely fight it a lot but they’d be patient with him and tell him it’s okay to relax for a while and be little
i also think if it’s alfred being his caregiver alfred would be extra doting because he’d feel partly responsible for bruce not having the childhood he should have so he tried to make up for it now
and clark would definitely be so overprotective and he’d LOVE to play with bruce he’d get him stuffies and blocks and coloring books and he would of course cuddle him so much
⁺ . notes ; cw for smoking & somewhat unhealthy habits, flips ! strattland, eva is autistic, need to get my thoughts out before i explode so these r maybe not the best
☆ . . . eva is an involuntary regressor, mainly triggered by major stress events and the weight of the world on her shoulders . no discernible ages that she regresses to, she just knows she feels smaller !
☆ . . . prefers to be called 'eva' when small . 'stratt' implies too much leadership and responsibility, which she absolutely does not want to think about when her brain is all fuzzy
☆ . . . she keeps a detailed 'regression log' where she tracks & experiments with juuust how far she can push herself & endure before she inevitably slips. she schedules fake meetings & hides away until it passes. as the project progresses, it becomes more unpredictable
☆ . . . eva speaks more german when she's small, completely on accident. she instinctively begins her sentences in german and her accent slips out stronger, and it's one of her more external signs that she's regressing
☆ . . . her safe space is underneath her desk in her office. whether its on land or on the vat, grace knows that if eva is ''missing'' he can find her hiding there
☆ . . . sometimes she regresses at the same time as grace ! she listens intently as he rambles on about some science facts or a new discovery he's made in the lab that day, as she stares at him wide-eyed . he's able to make her giggle easier when they're tiny together !
☆ . . .grace has deemed her The Baby in his head. although he has no proof she regresses any younger than he does, he knows that she's softer and gentler in her headspace, so she becomes The Baby to him
☆ . . . has a bad oral fixation but will absolutely refuse to suck her thumb or use anything deemed "for babies" . she takes up smoking to keep her mouth busy, using the excuse that she's stressed if anyone asks (though in the middle of the night her thumb drifts to her mouth anyway)
☆ . . . grace's fox cardigan is her #1 comfort item. she consistently steals it and then denies it when caught. if grace lovingly teases her about it, she gives him a simple "the earth is cooling, dr. grace."
☆ . . . absolutely fascinated by nature documentaries ! her favourites revolve around bugs & history, and she excitedly calls grace into her office everytime she has a new fact she wants to share (they sit together under her desk, curled up with his cardigan, and grace's back will never forgive him)
☆ . . . always always always two coffees . one completely black, the other with a pile of cream & sugar . grace tries to curb her coffee intake the best he can, but he has to get very creative in his ways, otherwise she notices patterns & is able to outsmart him
god okay in an attempt to be less of an asshole, here’s how child speech DOES work (or tend to work, at least)
kids tend to hypercorrect — this means that they tend to say things like “sleeped” instead of “slept,” “writed” instead of “wrote,” “goed” instead of “went,” etc
kids tend not to make errors such as omitting verbs (“i hungry”)
kids also tend not to make errors in the i/me, she/her department (“me am hungry”)
simplification of difficult sounds — consonant clusters especially, so things like st, sp, ps, etc., as well as f, v, th-sounds, ch-sounds, etc.
“babbling”-type utterances (“apwen” for “airplane,” using one babbly word for multiple objects, things like that) generally occur in children under the age of three and a half
say it with me: an eight-year-old child is not going to be saying “me hungwy”
do not confuse child speech with stereotypical learner english mistakes, that’s not only incorrect but also gross on the stereotypical learner english front (“me love you long time,” anybody?)
if you’re going to write kidfic please do some goddamn research
Totally. It can be helpful to remind yourself that young children tend to speak as though the English language actually made sense. Our brains are pattern-recognising machines: children are really, really good at puzzling out the implicit rules of the English language, but they don’t necessarily know all the silly exceptions and bizarre edge cases that break those rules yet - those can only be learned through experience and rote memorisation.
Basically, when children who speak English as a first language make mistakes, it typically reflects a tendency to treat English as more grammatically, syntactically, and/or orthographically consistent than it really is. In some cases, this can be compounded by the fact that some kids will get offended at how little sense “proper” English makes, and insist upon using the more consistent forms even though they know very well that they’re technically “wrong”.
As someone who spends a good majority of her time working with kids, it irks me to no end when I see children written as if they’re babies.
Past the age of about five or six years old, children can have deep, intellectual conversations about the most bizarre of things. I HAD A CONVERSATION LAST WEEK WITH FOUR THIRD GRADERS ABOUT THE GAS PRICES AND TAXES IN HAWAII.
Were they entirely correct in the facts they were giving? No, because it was all from what they had heard from parents or on the news. But that doesn’t take away from the fact that I was having a genuine conversation with four eight and nine year olds about taxes.
Just about the only speech problems most kids have, unless they have a speech impediment, is not being able to pronounce certain consonants (replacing ‘th’ with ‘fw,’ for example, and some letters are harder to form with your mouth than others) and doing exactly what the person above said: using the English language the way they know how, which isn’t always the way English works.
Kids aren’t stupid. Stop writing them like they are.
Baby Grace wants uppies,,,,Rocky physically can’t provide that (don’t worry, once Rocky sits next to Grace and lets the little guy pat over his suit he’s back to all smiles and coos💖)
