Caregiver Hannibal Moodboard

very much focused on healing and comfort <3

This is my first moodboard! I wanted to dedicate the first to my papatron cuz he's super cool! I'll be makin moodboards for my other cgs and maybe one for my big cg self (Soundwave). You can also interpret this as little!Megatron if you'd like. Hope yall enjoy! [All photos found on Pinterest.]

Give me loud wailing and sobbing and clinging to a trusted person. Give me begging to "go home" whether that home is real and reachable or not. Give me crying for parents and siblings and grandparents and *anyone* who feels safer than the present situation.

Give me stress regression. Give me trauma response regression. Give me regression as a result of someone's self-soothing ability completely imploding.

Give me the gross parts of it. In writing, in drawings, in headcanon ramblings. The tantrums with snot and spit and red faces. The potty accidents. The bedwetting. The lashing out and yelling and hitting. The physical symptoms of feeling like you're no longer in full control of your mind and body. Let me see the MISBEHAVIOR that comes with feeling like a child in a body that's too big for you when everything is SCARY. The behavior you REGRET later.

Seeing the cozy, comforting, voluntary end of agere is so important when you're using it to comfort yourself.

But the embarrassment of it goes beyond "I use pacifiers and stuffed animals to self soothe after a hard day." for a lot of people. Acknowledge and accept that, too. Please.

CG Harvey Dent and Regressor Bruce Wayne headcanons:

- Harvey adores everything about Bruce, especially his regression. He took it as a chance to be closer to him and even now defends that secret as much as he defends his identity as the Batman.

- Harvey keeps plushes and things for Bruce in the drawers of his office desk**. Before Bruce took on the mantle, there were a few other various animal ones that Harvey had for him. Now, it’s mostly bats. Harvey has kept all of them and will never move them.

- Bruce likes to spend a lot of time with Harvey in silence, tending to be more nonverbal when he’s regressed. Harvey doesn’t mind, letting him play and nap behind his desk as he works.

- The few times that Bruce does get fussy about the silence and lack of things to do in Harvey’s office while he works, Harvey will pass him law books and tells him to learn something. Bruce loves the praise that Harvey gives him for reading big things, and he also loves to ask a million hypothetical questions to Harvey about legal cases. Harvey’s come to the conclusion that it’s good for both of them.

- Harvey has taken Bruce’s grappling hook away numerous times while he’s regressed for various reasons.

regressors who are just so, so sleepy and their cgs who know and are already preparing for put down.

infant regressors who cry and whine, feeling their body tighten up and the blanket of sleep making them cranky and their caregiver who picks them up gently. cooing at them and letting their little baby cling to them till they settled in their crib.

toddler regressors who yawn while they put up a fight, claiming they're too big for nap time and their wide awake anyways. their eyes falling heavy and the rapid movements of play time become slow and steady, words between action figures and dolls becomes mumbled. caregiver who chuckles at the scene and makes sure to sit close by, giving their kiddo the chance to cuddle up before sending them to dreamland.

kid regressors who know they're drifting off and can get themselves to bed with no problem, but still sheepishly ask their caregiver to help them. getting them tucked in, mumbling and rambling about different things in the process, and one final kiss on the temple to seal it all together.

teenage regressors who think they're too old for naps, but the weight of the world exhausts them. who texts their cg about taking a nap, sending emoticons to match and explaining it feels childish in a way. and their caregiver smiling to themself as they explain you'll always be their baby.

He’s unsure what to do now that he’s turned

He’s roaming the streets when he meets a human

The human becomes protective over the vampire and does his best to take care of him

He doesn’t know why he’s drawn in to protect this guy

Maybe some vampire power? He doesn’t know he just knows he needs to protect him

The human takes the vampire to his home

After getting to know each other for awhile the vampire becomes clingy

He starts to call him dad

He’ll “secretly” follow his dad into the next room

He loves holding the back of his dads sweater

Uses a teether for when his fangs really hurt

Chews things constantly and always has to have his dad pull things away from his mouth

Older caregivers aren't creeps.

Older babysitters aren't creeps.

Older flips aren't creeps.

Older pets aren't creeps.

Older regressors aren't creeps.

Older dreamers aren't creeps.

Always thinking about October

I redrew a thing hehehe,,, original is in the top right corner,, but it's so stiff it hurt me 😭

I guess the redraw is still kinda stiff too idk,, drawing 3 characters interacting with each other in a natural way is hard work... Also the redraw is slightly different from the original,, I didn't know how to get Nart wiping Sasuke's tears with the frog without it looking weird, so I just made Naruto sad too😞

Also the original was literally made a year ago and it's crazy to see how far I've come,, like wow,, I struggled with drawing humans(and evidently I still am, hence why I'm just about always drawing them as kemonomimis 😭)

I think I may end up redrawing more of my old agere Naruto art for funsies

Do not be afraid to draw characters that have beards, scars, body hair, and are over 6 ft tall (etc) as regressors!!

See that man that has a full beard? REGRESSOR.

See that man that has a lot of leg hair? REGRESSOR. 🪄

See that man that's over 6 ft / is a giant? REGRESSOR ✨

Oh? This character could have a wife and kids? Hmmm.. REGRESSOR ✨✨🪄

Don't be afraid to add the details people! Details details details!

Just because you're an age regressor, doesn't mean that the "adult traits" disappear!

And if you're an artist that does add that to a character if it's canon to them, you on a golden star in my book ⭐

Look at the scientists saving the stars we're gonna die dawg
