we originally brought this up on our old account before it was deleted (was an accident, we thought it would just delete the side blog… it did not…) and i feel as though it needs to be brought up yet again in the agere community.
stop the stigma on diapers.
seriously- not all who use diapers use them for kink related things. most of the time it is simply for comfort or even due to incontinence, and honestly that’s not fair to discourage or blacklist.
i’ve seen so many servers not allow even talk about it, and you have to understand that it’s not for kink if it’s obviously said it’s for comfort or because someone has to.
i find it a tad bit discouraging that the community still will stifle others comfort items because it is affiliated with something it wasn’t even supposed to be for.
please understand that those of us who use diapers when regressing do it because we have to or because it is comforting for our baby-brains, ok?
tips for depressed, chronically ill, & disabled littles
it can sometimes be hard to feel little when you spend a lot of time in pain, bedridden, dealing with scary big thoughts, or any of the other things that can accompany mental or physical disabilities so these are things i do to feel small with little effort
ᯓ★ keep soft blankets + stuffies near you
literally what’s smaller than having your soft little comfort plushes with you? this is probably the easiest thing i do that always makes me feel at least a little smaller
ᯓ★ download mobile games for kids
if you aren’t someone who can get up and down off the floor or if you’re in a lot of pain, or if its just a rough day and you want to stay in bed little kid games are good for feeling tiny
ᯓ★ play baby music or soft lullabies
if you’re not feeling up to playing at all and just need to rest lullabies and nursery rhymes are rlly good for helping you rest and helping you feel tiny
ᯓ★ age regression fanfic
this might sound silly by at a little with chronic pain something that genuinely helps me is mood boards, one shots, etc. about my favorite fictional cgs
ᯓ★ think of your ‘lazy’ clothes as baby clothes
toddlers and babies are almost always dressed in comfy soft clothes so if you’re always in your soft sweatpants or cozy pjs to alleviate discomfort it’s just like little kids getting dressed in their soft little clothes
ᯓ★ middle regression is always an option
if you’re worried about regressing because you have to take care of yourself (ex. handle a walking aid, medicine, etc.) middle regression is super accessible because you can be regressed and do a lot of the things big you can already do
middle regression can also entail less rambunctious/active play (videos games, reading, coloring, etc.)
ᯓ★ audio books
if you look up ‘audio kids books’ or some form of that on youtube you can find kids stories read aloud! its something super fun that can make you feel small and you can do it anywhere at anytime.
ᯓ★ calming kids activities
there are a whole bunch of websites that have ‘calm down’ activities for when kids are winding down from rambunctious play and i use those a lot (playing with play dough, sensory toys, singing abcs/nursery rhyme games)
ᯓ★ remember not all regression looks the same
you don’t have to do anything to be small or to be valid as a regressor, regression looks different for everyone. there are ppl who regress and watch horror movies or ppl who regress while doing big kid things like going to the store or to school. your disability, no matter what form it comes in, does not invalidate your regression.
these are some of the things that i do, feel free to add more if you’re a little with disabilities, ily!!!!
Since lately there seems to be an influx of k*nk blogs breaking age regressors' DNIs, here are some tips:
Make sure to check your notes when you are in your big headspace. Some of those blogs have explicit content in their headers, and it could be upsetting to see in a regressed headspace
If one of those blogs leaves a nasty comment on one of your posts, also delete the comment before blocking them. So you can avoid other regressors seeing it, and it will keep your notes safe for them
Use filtered tags. They make checking blogs so much easier! You can quickly see if a blog has content that breaks your DNI without having to see said content or having to read the tags
Go check out @regressors-blocklist ! So you can block nasties before they even get the chance to interact with your posts
Rare pare with ships? Nah nah nah, let me raise you one, rare pare but with regressors and caregivers.
Here me out...
I want more content with little's and caregivers who have little to no reason in canon to care about each other.
Perhaps a villain taking care of a regressed hero.
Characters who only ever interacted a few times in their media yet seem to have the best parent + child vibe to them.
Characters who clearly care about each other but in canon wouldn't be considered good "parental figures"
Characters who haven't interacted in a positive light canonically but it just makes sense that one would be a regressor and the other looks after them little
Characters who just don't make sense but it's a cute idea therefore it works.
