Just your reminder that mental age isn’t real and hurts people with ID and developmental disabilities. Please stop saying it’s real.

Agere terminology!

(Please keep in mind, at the roots, Regression is a coping/defense mechanism that many rely on. If it makes you uncomfortable, that is fine, you are entitled to your safe space. But please do not shame us who do it, and understand that it is in no way a kink, or anything sexual. It's always SFW!) 

(Also, mentions of panic attacks, trauma, and the term sexual are used here. But NEVER in detail! It is only for educational purposes.)

Age-regression: Is when someone mentally reverts back to the mindset of a younger age. This can range from a few years younger, to that of an infant. Those who are in the mindset of a child, can not consent to things they normally could. (Example: Alcohol.)

Pet-Regression: Is when someone mentally retreats to the mindset of similar to an animal. This allows our wilder sides to be free. Those who are in the mindset of an animal can not consent to things they normally could. (Example: Alcohol.)

(Note the difference between Retreats and Reverts. Retreat implies it is a mindset that was not experienced before, but still used. Revert implies that you are going back to an age you once were! :D both are very valid coping mechanisms!!) 

Age-Dreaming: Is when someone acts, and often wants to be treated, as though they are a specific age of their choice. This can be a coping mechanism, or just for fun. But never is it sexual in any way. Those who are Age-Dreaming are still fully or partly in the mindset of their actual Age, and is still 100% valid.

Pet-Dreaming: Is when someone acts, and often wants to be treated, as though they are a specific animal of their choice. This can be a coping mechanism, or just for fun. But never is it sexual in any way. Those who are Pet-Dreaming are still partly or fully in the mindset if their actual species, but is still 100% valid.

Caregiver: Sometimes known as a Caretaker, is someone who is responsible for caring for a regressor and or dreamer. The Regressor/Dreamer that they are caring for may give them a nickname like Papa, Daddy, Mama, Sissy, Bubba, or whatever else makes them happy. (Note: Some chose not to use nicknames, others might use specific names that are a version of their caregivers name, and or a specific nickname that doesn't relate to being parental. There's no right or wrong way to do it! ^^)

Babysitter: A person who isn't the primary Caregiver(s) of a Dreamer/Regressor, but May watch over them for certain periods of time, especially if the Caregiver isn't available.

Flip: Is someone who fluctuates between being a Regressor/Dreamer, or both, and Caregiver/Babysitter.

Agere: An aberration of Age-Regression.

Petre: An aberration of Pet-Regression. 

Agedre: An aberration of Age-Dreaming.

Petdre: An aberration of Pet-Dreaming.

CG: An aberration of Caregiver.

Voluntary regression: Is when someone will purposefully regress into the mindset of an animal/younger age. This can be done for coping, stress relief, fun, etc. And can done by colouring, playing with toys, listening to baby music, or other things that make you feel safe, bring positive emotions out, remind you of your childhood, or the childhood you always wanted. (And hey, some like playing games like destiny, ark, etc! Or like listening to rock, watching shows for older people, it's about what makes YOU feel regressed!)

Involuntary regression: Is when someone will go into the mindset of an animal/younger age. This can be triggered by stress, fear, over or understimulation, or a variety of negative feelings.

Partial-Regression:  Sometimes also uses the term Age-Dreaming. Is when someone is only partially in their headspace. Those who are partially regressed can still not consent to what they normally could, as they may not be fully coherent. 

Full-Regression: Also known as just Regression. Is when someone is fully regressed, and will think and act as the age, or animal, they have regressed to.

Slipping: Somethings also known as regressing, or dropping, is when someone regresses. (Example: "Mary started to slip into the age of a toddler.")

Littles: Are someone who primarily regresses to the age, or around, 8 and under. This may fluctuate.

Middles: Are someone who primarily regresses to the age, or around, 9 and older. This may fluctuate.

Regressors: The general term for someone who regresses/chooses not to label themself!

Dreamers: The general term for someone who dreams.

Littlespace: Sometimes spelled little space or little-space, is the mindset of someone 8 or younger.  (Example: Mary slipped into Littlespace.)

Middlespace: Sometimes spelled middle space or middle-space, is the mindset of someone 9 or older. (Example: Mary slipped into Middlespace.)

Petspace: Sometimes spelled pet space or pet-space, is the mindset of someone who is pet regressed! (Example: Mary slipped into Petspace.)

Headspace: Sometimes spelled head space or head-space, is the general term for Littlespaces, Middlespaces, and Petspaces.

Positive regression: Previously known as Pure regression. Is when regressed, you might feel happy, bubbly. It can involves playing, laughing, and or other things associated with the happier side of regression. (Note: some still chose to use the term Pure Regression, and that's absolutely okay!)

Negative regression: Previously known as Impure regression. Sometimes known as Vent Regression. Is when regressed, you may feel sad, moody, angry. It can involve tantrums, crying, kicking, and or other things associated with the less happy side of regression. (Note: some still chose to use the term Impure Regression, and that's absolutely okay!)

Little gear: Sometimes spelled littlegear or little-gear, is the supplies used while regressed/dreaming, this can include, but not limited to: Pacifiers. Blankies. Bottles. Fidgets. Diapers. And or other things used by Regressors/Dreamers, that fit their age and preferences! (Note: Little gear isn't required to regress! ^^)

Petre gear: Sometimes spelled petregear or petre-gear, is the supplies used while regressed/dreaming, this can include, but not limited to: Chew toys. Teethers. Treats. And or other things used by Regressors/Dreamers, that fit their animal and preferences. (Note: Petre gear isn't required to regress! ^^)

(Often both can be shortened to just Gear if wanted!)

Positive triggers: Are something used to trigger someone into Voluntary regression. (Example: Colouring, Music, Dancing, Etc.)

Negative triggers: Is something that triggers unwanted memories, Involuntary regression, panic attacks, or other things that are unwanted to the regressor.(Example: a Negative trigger caused Mary to have a flashback.)

In the closet: It is when someone who is part of the Agere/Petre community is still secret. Sometimes, they are also known as Discreet Littles! (Generally, "closeted" means you are secretly, or not directly promoting that you are in a certain community. The term is often associated with it's use in the LGBTQIAP+ community!)

Finally, if you know a term that I don't, do not be afraid to share! And remember, not all regressors/dreamers are the same! One may love Pacifiers, the other may strongly dislike them. That's okay! We're all different and unique in our own ways! 

Remember that Agere is beautiful, all sides of it. Sometimes you have to have negative regression to feel better, it's okay! All sides of it are needed, and rather voluntarily or not, it's your brain trying to help you, and cope! It's a completely healthy coping mechanism, as long as you don't let it become your life 24/7. (That goes for all coping mechanisms, becoming obsessive over something is a big factor in it becoming unhealthy!)

Please try to hydrate! Stay safe! And have a wonderful day/night/evening my friends!

(To confirm: When regressed, you are still valid if you like swearing while regressed. You are still valid if you like playing/watching more mature games or shows or movies while regressed. You are still valid if nobody can tell you're regressed without you telling them. There are no rules to regression, expect that it's never sexual. Cater to how YOU need to regress, not everyone fits into the same box, and that's the beauty of diversity in how we each do it.) 

Remember I'm not an expert! I've been in the community for years, and I'm trying to share my knowledge! :D

Bai!! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🩵🤎🖤🩶💛

We left Loyalty's Meander at the same time our last guests did. Apparently, the horrible murder-cult vibes weren't enough to deter them, so now we have allies! That's nice, I guess.

Blackthorn learned to walk while we were road-tripping and I couldn't get this scene from Ice Age out of my head while I was trying to draw it so you just get the scene instead.

Thanks to the vehicle mod, it only took us eight days to get here, so here we are! I can't wait to see the ship!

hmmmmmmmm

there is... no ship

That is problematic. We'll try to mine into those mountains and see if there's a ship hidden in there somewhere, but I fear this may call for some Dev Mode intervention from Ecthuctu themselves...

Duchess now is not a good time

Curly, that is RUDE. Ecthuctu will not be impressed by this slight, mark my words... Terrible things are coming for you.

i wish radfems understood that eating disorders (NOT disordered eating or disordered thoughts, but fully-fledged eating disorders) are more about making our mental and emotional suffering obvious via our physical selves and less about beauty standards or whatever.

just like all self-harm, particularly as seen in young women, is.

#most of us develop them YOUNG like single digit age young #and don't understand why we did/do the shit we did until years or DECADES later #i see radfems beings spiteful towards women with eds and it fucking kills me because these women arE FUCKING BEGGING FOR HELP THE ONLY WAY #THEY COULD FIGURE OUT AT THE AGE OF LIKE 12 #THEY'RE MENTALLY STUCK IN TRAUMATIC TIMES FROM THEIR CHILDHOODS AND PATTERNS THAT ARE UNBREAKABALE BECAUSE THEIR IDENTITIES REVOLVE AROUND #THEM #FUCK !!! #sorry to not be a perfect fucking feminist couldn't help but be traumatized fuck you #my god #mine #tw ed #tw eating disorder

I wish my health (physical and emotional/mental) was better. I'd really like to take on a little, but I just can't commit to that at the moment with everything going on. I wish life was easier, so we could all be friends and take care of each other.

[uncanny-tranny]

I have so many complex feelings about self-harm, but something I feel people don't really think about is how traumatic it can be. I guess many people see it as a "this is all your fault" type of situation, but I really think that does us a disservice and further isolates and encourages self-harm as an act of coping.

It is traumatic at times, maybe not the act itself for some people, but the way those who engage in any self-harming behaviour is treated. I've talked about this before, but I cannot underestimate just how important these conversations are and maintaining compassion and care first rather than shame and humiliation. Everybody needs to be educated about these topics, I think. It is that important.

#mental health advocacy #self harm tw #self harm mention tw #sh tw #trauma #trauma tw #plus at a certain age that self-harming behaviour is literally out of the person's control i think #like tell me that at age three i could do anything else other than that #so i don't buy into the brutalist idea of 'deal with it on your own and stop bothering us; this is ALL your fault' #ask to tag (genuine) #the importance of these topics are why i talk about them so so much #because i suffered NEEDLESSLY and i never ever want that to happen ever again #i was failed. but that doesn't mean y'all have to be

Kyle

YASSS KYLE ✨✨

Warning my hcs for him might look a bit ooc for anyone who doesn't literally share my brain 💀

TW: s/h, ED, attempted sewerslide, hospitalization

First thing first, this kid's mental health is Fucked Up

He gets through so much shit as a kid, which mostly keeps affecting him as he grows up

When he's a little kid, he's pretty chubby (it's your fault I hc this XD), because Sheila has him completely spoiled

But since humancentiPad be stopped eating almost completely

He couldn't eat anything without throwing up for months at first

And since then he's not been able to eat much either, even though he doesn't puke every time anymore

So yeah, he has an ED and he fucking hates it

HumancentiPad also left him with mouth scars, he hates mirrors because they force him to acknowledge them :(

His relationship with his friends also gets worse on their early teens

Mainly Cartman

The only thing keeping Kyle sane was Stan fr

Like, even if he was getting progressively worse mentally, Stan would make sure it wasn't too bad

But when Stan went to the psych ward at 15, Kyle completely broke

Between the worry for his SBF (he'd attempted Kyle had almost lost him forever fuck fuck fuck what if it happened again), and the being without him for a whole month, it fucked Kyle up so bad

Kyle basically went into a huge mania, always acting happy and cheerful and laughing even though inside he felt fucking awful

When Stan got back he felt so bad

He still stuck with Kyle the same as always :)

Only way to see Kyle's genuine smile (super rare event) is when he's with Stan<3

The only moments Kyle breaks character is when he's by himself

Like literally nobody's seen him cry since he was a little kid, even though his breakdowns are almost weekly

It's at the point that even Cartman genuinely checks on him sometimes

His immune system sucks and that's why he's sick so often

Mentally, he has HPD, an unlabeled ED and bipolar I

He's in a (hypo?)manic episode almost all the time

But he's never been hospitalized nor medicated for it

So he just. Keeps getting worse :(

Self-injury a lot

He used to hide his cuts but he gave up on it

His literal only coping mechanism is hurting himself :(

He doesn't have a specific style, but all his clothes are colorful and eye-strain-y

He keeps wearing his hat, but now it's covered in multicolor paint after he had a big episode

He reads a lot, he always has a book in his bag

At school, he's best at math and English

Not counting literature, he sucks at that

He's pretty good at geography too

His gender and sexuality are both unlabeled, but he goes by he/they

His parents care about him, but they also don't want to be the talk of all the town by getting Kyle admitted into the mental hospital

Plus Kyle insists he'll be fine so they want to believe him

He still takes care of Ike sometimes and they have an alright relationship, but they don't talk as much anymore

He'll probably be fine, eventually,,, but not yet :(

People will get mad when I suddenly bring up that mental age isn’t a fucking thing because they want to call the severely disabled person a child instead of being decent human beings.

How to explain to everyone that I feel a lack of drive and motivation and general apathy to my future because I don't feel generally excited and have a complete lack of interest in anything

#Me when the mental illness is mental illnessing #I hate winter the most for it #I want to feel this want and need to start working and apply for scholarships and get my licenses #But I can't bring myself to really...care #I'd like all those things but I don't want to start the process to do it all #Not to also mention I haven't been enthusiastic about IRL stuff in ages #It's just been a blur of repetitive days full of either complete empty neutrality or anxiety #Can I have an emotion for once #Pretty please with a cherry on top? #tw vent #vent

Narmada and her sister Sharika are the daughters of prominent Tamil feminist and human rights activist Rajini Thiranagama, who was murdered when they were children. Every time they speak of her I move away from grief that her life was so brutally cut short, to joy that she spent those years living a life more full of light and love than many can fit into a hundred. Nothing can compare to the legacy of being remembered this way by your children.

#i can't believe she was younger than me when she was killed #her daughters are several years older than me #it must be strange to live past the age your parent did #to realize the person in those wise and hallowed memories is now a peer and now much junior #i have so much awe and pride for the people who stood up to the blood drenched terrorism of the govt and of the militias that opposed them #i always wish i could ask them how they didn't drown the fear and despair #rajini knew they'd kill her and made her peace with it. even though she knew she'd be leaving her children behind #she and her husband seems to have been absolute relationship goals. an equal partnership?? in the 70s and 80s?? in this country?? #talk about modelling self-worth for your daughters #parenting #wholesome #child rights #feminism #activism #advocacy #rajini thiranagama #sri lanka #mental health #tw death mention #mothers and daughters #knee of huss
