Earlier stages I think most of them would not know what age regression is. Right. A LOT of time and effort would be used to make them even come to terms with their regression I think. Taking maybe years…but eventually they do. Maybe not Shiloh in a darker timeline/silly but for this post let’s say he does.

Nate has had involuntarily regressed before but he doesn’t know what happened he just knows he hates it hated it he hates it. What caused him to come so close to acknowledge his deeply suppressed needs and vulnerabilities?? Usually he can control when to stop crying but now he can’t. nothing feels right.

Even when he knew about what age regression is, i think he'd see it as something to suppress or push down at first, and would not fathom having a caregiver.

Shiloh. I think he regresses too but not like he definitely knows what that is from the start either. Deep at night laying at his bed suddenly feeling weirdly small and confused. he kind of wants to go home, but not his actual home. Doesn’t cry, expression blank, just pulling the blanket a little bit tighter around himself. He probably doesn't see it as something he must curb or get rid off, but i think he would make sure other people doesn't know about it.

Bae regresses in a way that’s sometimes not that different than just “getting in touch with your inner child” or something which he definitely isn’t opposed to be doing whenever. But theres definitely times where his mind slips to a even younger state,and he wouldn’t mind using the term “age regression” to describe it as well, I suppose.

He’d find every way to claim how he’s the most mature one even tho he’s like. 8 or something right now. He regresses in a more relaxed way and he’s curious and find everything cute or fun. Hes still not energetic but would definitely spend more time outside(maybe picnics under a tree shade?). He’d go to toy shops and spend hours looking around the toys especially the plushies I think(?)

Pran also might not know he’s age regressing at the start of it. at the same time he would start out not having a caregiver and just maybe do stuff on his own. His regression starts with him being more open to more “child-like” activities, the attitude of “I don’t care” dying down a bit. he’d definitely indulge in various artistic activities when he’s regressed, enjoying children’s media and such.

this was in my drafts for a long time:

Everett. You cannot look me in the eyes and tell me his mom doesn't know about his regression. He cannot hide crap from her. i think he would be clingy, not in a whiny clingy way but in a "hey whatcha doing hey whatcha doing hey whatcha doing" every 5 minutes kind of way. and he'd be very playful + enjoy doing messy stuff. do NOT put him in the same room with jeremy goodness gracious. Jeremy would very very low-energy and grumpy when regressed i think. naps all the way. enjoys sweets. He also tries to hide it from his parent because they would be supportive but in the MOST overbearing and embarrasing way. Hed definitely tell Pran first and i think that helped Pran know more and come to terms with his own age regression. Pran wouldn't really take care of him like a typical cg, but i think jeremy enjoys letting pran stays here with him quietly as he naps/reads. not different from when hes big.
