bc i see some of the other ppl ill through my hat into the ring of agere headcanons!!
brian-little, 4-10 usually but can slip smaller. he likes being taken care of but struggles with actually letting people take care of him. she likes quiet and calm activities like coloring and playing with his toys, but is Very easy to convince to get into mischief and shenanigans. doesn't usually act as a cg but sometimes when other people are busy she'll babysit and watch the littles. when he's really distressed he'll regress even smaller and usually stays little for days. tries not to slip often, which only just makes him slip longer. usually involuntarily regresses
marius-little, 0-3 usually, tiny baby. TINYY baby. yells and screams when people are out of sight and is quiet when people are around. likes to play with brian, but how he plays is like. stacking his stuffies in a row or pile and sitting there babbling at them. follows the bigger littles around and does whatever they say. the more chaotic and mischevious littles absolutely rope him into shenanigans whenever they can. has a collection of stuffies
gunpowder tim-little, 6-12 usually, full of chaos and the desire to cause destruction. cannot sit still, starts one activity then jumps up and moves onto another and then starts another and so on. gets into the most chaos. refuses to take naps and screams and fights every time someone tries to get him to lay down. he helped brian figure out he regresses :3
toy soldier-little and caregiver, regresses to about 3-5, always initiates games of pretend whether it's little or not. has a thousand dolls, no one's exactly sure who gave it all of the dolls and tim's like. pretty sure the dolls are haunted. it never explains where the dolls came from either. it also has a massive dollhouse it likes playing with, and it loves having tea parties when it's caregiving to the littles, or baking. baking is always a messy affair, though. the second most likely to cause chaos and get into trouble. gets really upset when people give it orders when little but it won't say anything. it Will let loose a bunch of octokittens in the other's room, though.
ivy alexandria-babysitter and little, regresses to abt 2-4, will usually just do her own thing. they're fine so long as you read a book to her and he gets to play with her toys in a quiet room. she likes to build with blocks, or legos, and always joins toy soldier in its games of pretend and its tea parties. she's a sleepy girl but is just as stubborn about taking naps as tim, for similar reasons to tim. nightmares :[ but if someone's cuddling them he's less likely to protest strongly abt taking naps. isnt always the best with the littles when she's big, but she can watch them when the other caregivers are busy and reads or paints with them. sometimes she braids tims hair when he's asleep, and gives the littles extravagant hairstyles whenever they ask. he has a cozy section in his library for the littles with their favorite books and a bunch of cozy seats. always there whenever someone is baking.
jonny-puppy and caregiver, he pet regresses and has a giant collection of ears bc he ruins them. so. easily. steals marius's and brian's stuffies. he is very exciteable, and likes to lay on top of people. doesnt bark a lot but he does growl when people try to move him, though its mostly playful. loves tug of war and cuddles. will run around for twenty minutes and then get tired and nap for three hours. has so. many. toys. and none of them are his, the others just decided it wasnt worth the effort to take them back. has jusst as much chewlery but it's actually his and not stolen. everyone's favorite caregiver because he lets them get away with a lot of mischief, tim's main cg bc he's the only one who cna stand both gunpowder's puppy eyes and his chaos. though hes the more lenient of the caregivers he can put his foot down when necessary. is ranked as the second best cuddler and takes great offense to that
Ashes-caregiver, jonny's main caregiver as well as ts's primary caregiver, but they tend to help out with everyone. they have the most rules and are the most strict abt said rules, but is usually very caring and always willing to play games and help in mischief if they deem it fun enough. they always have stim toys and small stuffies and toys on their person if anyone needs them at any time. get's climbed on a lot and has everyone's favorite little foods and favorite drinks memorized and always makes sure its in stock on the ship
Nastya-is never sure what to do when the others are little, but is willing to entertain them for a little while whenever they are. the littles tend to just ask her questions about whatever she's working on. she answers very seriously and often confuses the littles. she'll also play simple games with them, like patty cake or dress up
The Aurora-Ultimate caregiver, ranked as the number one cuddler unanimously because she'll wrap them in wires and suspend the littles in the air which always makes them giggle. lets the littles crawl around in the vents and leads them places. always helps with mischeif so long as the littles aren't going to get hurt, though she also always makes sure to let the other caregivers know when someone's little. always has the best game ideas and encourages the littles to get up to shenanigans or to be creative
Raph-brian and marius's main caregiver, also helps alot with gunpowder, she always has a snack on hand and loves giving the littles kiddos hugs and cuddles. tries her best to carry brian around but he's taller than her and well. metal. she still tries though. Likes to dance with marius and will drop anything she's doiing to play games with marius and brian. takes whatever the two of them are babling about very seriously and nods along, taking notes as if in some great lecture. braids brian's hair a lot as well, and tends to have fidget toys. sometimes gets distracted, and wanders away for one reason or another, but it's usally fine bc her littles are much more well behaved than the others. usually. makes sure the littles always eat their meals and snacks and takes naps on time
YES YAY YES ALL OF THIS IS SO TRUE
