Age regressor! Hunter hcs:
Tw: involuntary regression, behavior stemming from abuse
-💛 Regressed before knowing what it was. Or knowing what the word for it was or meant. He’s been regressing since being appointed as the golden guard and didn’t really get to experience a childhood so this is how he experiences it
-💛 His age range is 1-8, but spends most of his time in baby space. It also depends who he’s with (caring for him or being his playmate, etc) to see how low he’ll drop into headspace
-💛 3/4 of his regression is involuntary, he is very unsure in his regression. Has a lot of stressed, anxious, vent, trauma, etc regression. Has days were he just regresses and cries because he doesn’t understand why he’s crying or he misses Flapjack, things along those lines
-💛 Found out about regression through Luz, Luz ended up being his first caregiver and playmate/sib. Camila, Darius, and Willow are his favorite caregivers although Eda and Raine have also cared for him
-💛 His connections with his friends are slightly different when regressed. Willow is the absolute favorite of course (platonic or romantic Huntlow), because of how they bonded and how she’s always gentle but firm with him. Luz, Vee, and Gus are his sibbies. Growing up, Hunter always wanted a brother so he loves to do typical boy regressor stuff with Gus. And him and Amity? Oof..either best friends or sworn off enemies that baby battle
-💛 Semi verbal when regressed, he has nonverbal days too. His speech is hesitant or choppier when regressed
-💛 Has such a hard time playing pretend but he tries. Wasn’t really able to until he was introduced to things he likes, like wolves and Cosmic Frontier. Gus being able to make illusions and Luz having toys helped too
-💛 Feels weird having regression gear but he gets attached to it after some time. Still uses his coven cape like a blanket, and collects wolf plushies and pacifiers like nobodies business
-💛 He likes to feel needed. So when he can, he likes to help his caregivers or playmates. Willow gardening? He’ll bring her the watering can or hose. Baby Vee napping? He’ll stand guard to make sure it’s quiet and no one wakes her up. Gus can’t find his toy? He starts a search party. No one able to understand Amity’s nonverbal cues? He usually gets it right and communicates it for her. Luz being Luz? Hunter being Hunter with her
-💛 His behavior can be either described as so well behaved or a child acting out. Sometimes he feels like love needs to be earned so he’ll put his regression on a back burner to try to seem less ‘burden-ish.’ Only makes him regress involuntarily though. He’s an emotional regressor, anger comes out way more easily in his regression which will quickly turn to tears and frantic apologies. When ‘acting out’ it only comes out as confrontational behavior, yelling and being super defensive, he’d never hurt anyone though
-💛 Going from that though, he sometimes acts out on purpose to see what he can get away with. Refusing to go to bed or put away his toys or knocking things off counters or taking toys from his sibbies. It has earned him a few gentle but stern talks from his caregivers which usually make him cry and panic but it all works out
-💛 On god, this boy needs naps and early bedtimes. He refuses them but needs them. Gets cranky when he doesn’t nap
-💛 Not big on touch, but welcomes certain types of touch (sfw). Loves to be held and rocked
-💛 Not big on nicknames or pet names but he has a couple he likes when regressed. Little prince, hunny, cadet Hunter, wolfy, little guard, little helper, and captain comet are his favorite
-💛 Needs reminders, like Luz, that his regression is a good thing. That it’s okay to slip and that it happens, because it’s something he doesn’t like about it himself even though it helps him in the long run
