- Bro probably conditioned Dave into being a casual anti

- Dave probably started regressing on the meteor. It was something he kept secret, and he regressed older then he does now (he regressed to kiddo age, can’t you believe it).

- he totally mentioned it in the rooftop conversation with Dirk but that Evil Hussie cut it

- when the game was over and they went on Earth-C, Dave felt a slight urge to reveal his secret, and so that’s what he did. Consulting the main CG of the beta kids (as agere had been known for a long time, and the majority of the beta kids had already revealed their secret earlier), he finally revealed the secret he had been hiding. Rose accepted him, as agere was a long well known thing at the time, and so he dropped.

- Dave nowadays is a baby Regressor. He is the youngest Regressor out of the four beta kids.

- He is small. Like really small. Immediately stands out as the smallest, and cutest person in the room when he’s regressed

- His main CG’s are Rose, and sometimes Karkat. He usually leans towards Rose taking care of him though, because after getting help relating to the Bro stuff, he kind of lost a lot of trust for male parental figures.

- He sometimes gets babysitter caregivers. There’s a whole lot of those, but for notable examples we have John, Roxy, Dirk, etc

- Padded Regressor. It’s related to his agere age, with it also being somewhat related to comfort reasons. It also helps ground him in his baby headspace.
