Sometimes I feel like I Know her, but My arms bend back.
Vent-y regressor Nikki Freeman moodboard! A gift for @butchreg <3 She deserves so much more than she got and I miss her so so so so dearly :( it’s really wahhhh
- Vent / weepy regression almost always, Nikki can’t keep her thoughts away enough to relax and it often ends in tears or mood swings when she feels small. Sometimes lashes out when she can’t find that relief crying gets her.
- Big on control after the events of the movie, she lost almost everything she had and she becomes a bit bossy so she doesn’t lose it again. It’s never from a malicious intent but her own need to have herself back.
- Spends a lot of her regression very quiet or withdrawn, scribbling on notebooks and reading books as best she can, trying to find her sense of normalcy again even if it’s through the one thing she wanted to pursue. Writing (or attempting to when she feels very small) helps in small ways.
- A puppy regressor as well! Whining and crying when the world feels like it’s weighing down very badly on her, curling under blankets and staying there for long periods of time with some noise throughout her space. Bites and scratches at her blankets or pillows and shakes them when she gets really upset.
- Nikki does not feel the need for a caregiver, she might when the nights get very dark but the idea of opening up to someone has the girl feeling sick to her stomach and like she can’t breathe. She’s very self sufficient but sometimes she wishes someone could hold her when she cries.
- Gets very self conscious of the scars now on her face from the bottle and the brick, touches over them lightly whenever she sees herself in the mirror and it makes her cry almost every time. She shies away from reflective surfaces for a while when she feels small, throwing blankets or sheets over them to try and avoid it.
- Sleeps restlessly, or doesn’t sleep at all, too plagued by anxiety or nightmares she struggles to get through. Stays in her bed curled around a pile of books she bought from a second-hand store she can’t remember, picture books or easy chapter books.
- Struggles to connect with people now, but especially when regressed, feeling like an alien amongst people. Nikki knows not everyone has gone through her experiences but she can’t emphasize with them when they haven’t been in her shoes. It frustrates her endlessly because she used to be so outgoing and kind, but now every word gets stuck in her throat like glue.
- Doesn’t collect a lot of toys or things to play with, usually half-chipped or used LPS or stuffed animals are her go to, she doesn’t think she needs more than what she’s got.
caregiver that doesn’t try to calm you down and stop you from crying. Instead they let you feel your feelings and cry in their arms til your little eyes have no more tears to cry. Gently petting your head and just being there for you. Reminding you that you’re not alone
Pete the Cat is one of my favorite things to read regressed, since my best friend gave me a bunch of phonic books. Stay cool! Made using Picsart and Pinterest, NO AI!!!!
