little amethyst

Here you go!!

Hi there anon. You’re completely valid if you don’t want regression gear. Regression looks different for everyone, and you aren’t required to like something just because it’s popular.

Here are some ideas for things you can do without regression gear that might help you regress:

Playing on a playground

Listening to kids’ music

Cut your food into cute shapes

Playing video games. There are plenty of free browser games available

Draw or doodle

If you have a pet, you can play with them

Go outside and explore

Playing pretend (if you’re able to). @chompchompchu has some pretty good guides here

Watching cartoons

Printing out coloring pages or work sheets to color/work on

Act as childish as you want. It’s okay to be silly

Build a blanket nest/pillow fort

Try to make your own slime. You can find lots of recipes online

Go to the library and borrow some books

Make and play with some play dough

If it rains, you can go out and play in the puddles

Play with water

Watch videos on YouTube

Make your own playlists

Play with paper dolls. You can either draw your own or print out some from the internet

Make a small-themed moodboard

Do your hair in a cute way

Sing songs/nursery rhymes

If you want to regress to a really tiny baby/infant, @little-silly-bear has a post with activities here. Some of them require gear, while others don’t.

this post is more so validation for my older littles out there.

being in the little community is very accepting, i've come to find, but it can be a lot harder for those who are older, we come to deal with a lot of similiar problems, such as.

the stigma around being an older little.

when someone who is of legal age claims their a little, we're always met with half glances from some people in the community. now, i understand how certain adults have stigmatised age regression and little space, but it is unfair to categorise us under the same umbrella.

everyone goes through things at different stages and may turn to regression at any point in their lifetime. it's not up to us to judge <3.

the trouble of making friends.

it's always a struggle making friends, but when you're the 'older' part of the community, it just enhances those feelings by a hundred. It's not as easy for us to make friends (me included) so when you stumble across a blog that has a similiar age to you, it can feel like winning the lottery.

the trouble of resources

there aren't a lot of resources out there for older littles.

most little discords have a range of ages (which is lovely & inclusive!) but it's harder to find resources that cater just to us, and our age group.

(I know there is a few out there though!)

the troubles with personal acceptance.

sometimes you can feel a little out of place as the 'older' ones of the community. it can make you second guess a lot of things and become vunerable and embarrased at the simplist suggestions.

some older indivials may feel embarrased for not understanding the new terms/or ways the younger people of the commuity speak/say, or they may not even know certain ways to regress.

validation section.

& you know what, not knowing everything is perfectly okay!

learing can go both ways, it's not just for one person's benifit. you're never too old or too young to learn something new, so don't feel embarrased that you don't know anything.

and for my older regressors out there, you too are valid.

your journey, your regression, your voice are all completely valid! <3

Anger: punch a pillow, scream into a pillow, tear up paper or crumble it up, squeeze a stress ball, tightly hug a stuffed animal, play with putty, slime, or clay, write down whatever is making me angry and possibly throw it away, cry a bit if needed.

Sadness: cry it out, snuggle up with a stuffie, watch cute or funny animal videos online, color a picture, play with my cat, read a lighthearted children's book, watch cartoons, play pretend with my stuffies.

Anxiety: chew on one of those chewy things, get myself a warm drink like tea, coffee, or hot cocoa, fidget with a pop it or another fidget toy, take a warm bath, hug my stuffies, listen to music, try to remind myself I am safe, cry if needed.

Trauma memories (TW): try to focus on something other than my body like a cartoon or video game, punch my pillow and imagine it's my abuser, let myself cry, remind myself that what happened wasn't my fault, hug my stuffies, listen to some music, color a picture, read something, drink a warm drink like tea, coffee, or hot cocoa, do some arts and crafts, take a bubble bath if I am comfortable doing so.
