It would be awesome sauce if you did the ginger trio headcanons >_< (/nf!!)
- [ ] Gingerbrave is an age regressor and younger brother sibby!
- [ ] He regresses to a toddler or younger kiddo, mostly voluntarily, but sometimes involuntarily when triggered. He is the only one of the three that lets himself regress voluntarily.
- [ ] As someone who was forced to grow up a little too quickly, age regression can be healing for him.
- [ ] His sibbies are Wizard Cookie and Strawberry Cookie, who he can serve as a playmate for! Though, he is considered a younger brother (middle child) compared to the other two.
- [ ] Pure Vanilla will serve as the three’s caregiver/babysitter if they are around him. But otherwise, the three of them care for each other in their own ways.
- [ ] His regression is a little more subtle than the other two’s, not really having a lot of agere gear apart from some plushies and toys, which most of the time he doesn’t use himself and instead lets his sibbies borrow to play with. He does indulge in using pacis sometimes, when he is feeling a little smaller than usual.
- [ ] He is a super friendly regressor, very social, though the difference between his big headspace and his little one is that he becomes quite hyper.
- [ ] Always preferring games with movement, like hop scotch, tag, chase, all of those things. He loves running, and he is known to run very fast.
- [ ] That is part of the reason why Wizard Cookie specifically can get a little mad at him for wandering too far. But he knows it’s simply his older brother being worried for his safety.
- [ ] He is a curious baby, can you blame him? Everything is so new and pretty! Of course he’d want to explore! Though, he tries not to wander too far, just to not worry anyone.
- [ ] Despite Wizard being the older sibby of the three, it is usually Gingerbrave who leads the other two. Considering the other’s can be a little *too* cautious for his liking. But they simply need a little nudge! He grabs their hands and leads them both forwards! Everything will be okay as long as they have each other.
- [ ] The three of them usually get into all kinds of shenanigans while small. When staying at the Pure Vanilla Kingdom, the three would often sneak in the middle of the night to go steal some treats from the kitchen! They help each other climb up onto the tall cupboards. And sure, maybe it’s past their bedtime, but nobody has to know! It’s all in the name of a sweet treat anyway!
- [ ] Pure Vanilla will usually make them milk before bed to avoid things like that happening, since it helps the little ones be fall asleep when they are supposed to.
- [ ] When they are in their kingdom, Gingerbrave can usually be found talking with the other cookies! And even playing with them!
- [ ] Custard Cookie III makes a great playmate, so long as he can convince him that even kings need to spend time with friends! Gingerbrave even sometimes convinces Chili Pepper, Strawberry and Wizard to join in, and it becomes even more fun!
- [ ] When on adventures, he sometimes even gets to play with the cake hounds in the woods (given he finds ones that are not aggressive).
- [ ] Wizard Cookie is a flip (no lean)! He’s a toddler age regressor and big brother sibby/babysitter! His regression is mostly involuntary, since he rarely lets himself be small.
- [ ] Though, out of the three, he is the most stubborn about his regression. He always wants to seem mature around others, even if he feels much smaller than usual. Isn’t that what a wizard is supposed to do? Be all knowing? So, most of the time, he will not admit he is regressed.
- [ ] He can’t seem to hide anything from Gingerbrave or Strawberry, though, who seem to know him too well and notice immediately. They will often usher him into fully slipping by asking him to play or to ‘let us help you with that!’. And only when fully slipped, will he let himself use his agere gear.
- [ ] Wizard Cookie loves pacis, stuffies, rattles, children’s books and puzzles.
- [ ] He finds it fun to put the puzzle pieces together, even with his fuzzy mind. And often the other two will help him if he gets stuck.
- [ ] He also likes reading children’s books with the other two around bedtime, he likes looking at the pictures. And on rare occasions, Pure Vanilla will read to all of them if they are with him or staying in the Vanilla Kingdom.
- [ ] But if they are in public, or with other cookies, they will help him in more subtle ways, since he knows that he can be a little embarrassed about his regression. Things like Starwberry offering him a lollipop instead of a paci. Holding his hand to comfort him. He appreciates it greatly.
- [ ] When he is an older brother sibby, he can be quite protective. He is the oldest of the three (Gingerbrave being the middle child, and Strawberry being the youngest), so he often cares for the other two.
- [ ] Things like reminding them to eat, not to wander too far, or to focus on whatever mission they are on. He may sometimes sound grouchy while he does, but it is all playful arguments, like all siblings do.
- [ ] He also loves when he is able to tell others any information they don’t know. A new kingdom they’re exploring? He knows the history! Things like that give him a feeling of fulfillment, like he is truly helping his siblings and can be useful.
- [ ] The three of them love physical touch the most, they will often sleep in a little cuddle pile. Wizard will pretend to be annoyed, but he secretly enjoys it.
- [ ] Strawberry Cookie is an involuntary age regressor! She regresses due to trauma.
- [ ] Out of the three, she is the one who regresses into the youngest headspace. Either a young toddler or baby dough!
- [ ] It is quite telling when she is regressed, considering her walking grows clumsier and her eyes have a more innocent look to them.
- [ ] She also has trouble speaking more often in that state, and her shy demeanor triples when in little space.
- [ ] Strawberry Cookie does not like loud sounds, and can startle quite easily while small, often crying. So, she usually carries around headphones which she wears under her hood to help with that.
- [ ] She also can’t really have many pacis while on the go, considering her and the Gingergang are usually traveling, so she usually uses lollipops as a replacement!
- [ ] Though, when safe at home or in places like the Vanilla Kingdom, pacis are kept around for her.
- [ ] She loves pacis, rattles, teethers, sippy cups and baby sensory toys! She also has a few stuffies she keeps with her, most of them of a super soft and fuzzy texture, which helps her calm down when experiencing any sensory issues.
- [ ] I headcanon her as neurodivergent (mostly autistic, but i can leave it open to interpretation). So having gear like that can really help her!
- [ ] When she can’t have any of her gear and lollipops are not at her disposal, she will sometimes find herself chewing on the sleeves of her jacket. It is mostly an unconscious action, and it is often Wizard or Gingerbrave who notice. Gently redirecting her and giving her something she can chew on (like teethers or maybe gum).
- [ ] She can be a clingy baby, she will often be found clinging onto Gingerbrave’s arm while walking or holding Wizard’s hand. Maybe even holding onto Pure Vanilla’s robe and hiding behind him when he is speaking to someone. But none of them seem to mind, and it helps her feel more at ease.
- [ ] The only regression activities she does on her own are coloring or playing with her sensory toys. Since she is often too small to do much else, the most she will do is play with her sibbies or nap.
- [ ] Even if her regression happens at an inconvenient time (like during battle), her older brothers always have it covered and never make her feel bad. That is why she feels the safest around them and doesn’t feel the need to really hide her regression.
- [ ] It can sometimes even be healing for her (on better days when she is not having a shutdown or many sensory issues), since those rare moments of safety and peace make the world feel a little less scary. Especially with her sibbies by her side!
((Hello! I’m sorry that this one took so long to make,, I really enjoyed making headcanons for these three! Despite being the main characters, they are so underrated! I hope these were worth the wait and thanks for requesting!))
