I need to start actually posting on this blog lmao
In my heart, little Shane is absolutely OBSESSED with stuffies. I like to think it started when he was a kid – he had such bad separation anxiety when he first started going to kindergarten, any time Yuna would drop him off he'd just sit there and cry for at least an hour and be absolutely inconsolable. Obviously, she can't just come with him and sit with him the entire time, so she comes up with the next best thing, which is getting him a stuffie that he can take with him and squeeze whenever he feels lonely or nervous.
I'm absolutely projecting here, but with Shane being autistic, he finds it much easier to connect with stuffed animals than it is for people; stuffies are reliable, they're always there for him, they never make fun of him, they're never too loud, they understand when he wants cuddles and when he wants to be alone. He's so happy with the one that Yuna got him that she and David can't help but get him more, which encourages his family to use stuffed animals as a go-to gift for birthdays and holidays, and before long, he has a whole shelf in his room full of them. He attaches so much personal sentiment to them that it's very hard for him to get rid of any, and he still has the majority of his childhood stuffies even as an adult. He keeps them hidden in drawers and closets, he can't imagine anyone finding out that he still loves them so much as an adult, as a professional athlete no less, but he can't sleep unless he's holding one.
(I'm at work so these are all the thoughts I have for now, but I promise there'll be more to come!!)

I love puppy shane so so much. And I think generally when shane and ilya are little at the same time, shane is happy to follow along with what ilya is doing, and is very happy to copy Ilya. HOWEVER…the one time Shane gets super bossy about things while little is when they’re playing (pretend) hockey. They don’t necessarily do this a lot bcs it can be nice to have a break from hockey-related thinking, but also Shane is very obsessed and this extends to while he’s little. Also obsessing over hockey is generally fun for him, and it’s kinda nice for him to be able to do it in a low-stakes environment.
They have a pretend hockey game with their plushies and Shane is locked in like his life depends on it. Ilya is a on a team with him and they’re versing Hayden and his army of plushies. Shane has a little frown on his face as he’s supervising his team and he is genuinely pulling plushies aside and going. ‘No, thats how you’re supposed to do it. We try again now.’
Shane is gentler with Ilya bcs Ilya is regressed a bit younger, so he is more coaxing as he directs Ilya on what to do. ‘Okay, Ilya, we can put your wolf on the first line, centre, please. Can you tell her she has to be quick to get the puck? Okay, thank you Ilya ☺️’
(For his own sanity, Hayden throws every imaginary game in favour of Shane and Ilya’s team.)
I'm so sorry, I have to immediately reblog because I've been thinking about this for WEEKS – tagging in @cassiessafespace because he can attest to going absolutely feral over little Shane being obsessed with hockey <3
Little Shane absolutely LOVES recreating hockey games with his stuffies! He makes entire spreadsheets about it, he's carefully assigned a position to all of them, he's made up teams, he has lists of their stats that he is of course updating after every stuffie game. During the off-season, he keeps himself entertained by making a stuffie playoff series – once he joins the Centaurs, they also end up incredibly invested and are always excited to hear the updates in the group chat!
A bit of a side tangent, but the Centaurs absolutely adore little Shane and his stuffies, and they love it whenever he brings them to practice with him! He'll sit one down on the bench and introduce them to everyone very seriously: this is Eloise, she's been having a little trouble with her defending lately so she wanted to come watch and get some ideas. And of course everyone is taking turns going up to her and giving her their advice and are delighted when little Shane informs them the next day that she won her game.
Shane pulling the stuffies aside to talk to them is everything to me...he's taking his job as stuffie coach very seriously <3 him being gentle with Ilya! He's still very serious about the game ofc but he knows that Ilya's younger and needs a little more coaxing. Ilya isn't AS invested in the game as Shane is, he's just happy to be playing and having fun :)
Of course Hayden has to throw every game. His team won one (1) time and he then had to deal with Shane and Ilya both SOBBING for the rest of the night and he is NOT dealing with that again...
Headspace ranges anywhere from 6 months to 15 years. She's not the type to stick one age, or really put an age to it ever, but she'll throw out the first number that comes to mind if Scott or Wallace asks. Regression is a very deliberate process for her, where she evaluates how she feels and what would help her at the moment, then plans her tiny time around those things.
Does not want a caregiver now or ever. None of her exes knew she regressed, but they were never great about handling her vulnerability. The idea of handing over control like that makes her sick. No thank you.
That being said, she really likes Scott's caregivers, Wallace and Mobile. Wallace doesn't talk to her any differently, and at most, Mobile tries to get her to eat and sends her off with snacks when she heads home for the night. (She's only stayed over a select few times.) She made it very clear early on that she didn't want them hovering or fussing over her the way they fuss over Scott and they've respected that, which is a major plus for her.
She likes regressing around Scott because even when he's big, he acts more like a playmate than he does a caregiver. If she's older, she can run circles around him because he just wants to indulge her and make her happy, and when she's younger, they mostly just chill and she watches him play video games.
She's only just learning how to regress around company, and she still prefers having her alone time if she can help it. She likes making herself bottles and then curling up to watch TV. She likes playing with her kitty and dressing herself and setting her own alarms. Independence just comes naturally to her.
When she first moved to Toronto, she latched onto Julie because of her mean big sister energy. Julie just felt like someone she could confide in. She's definitely asked Julie to do her nails before.
Hates crying in general but especially while she's regressed. Sometimes she can't help the frustration that bubbles up, and she hates that because she wants regression to be a happy space for her. Unfortunately that backfires often because she tries to just repress the bad feelings instead of processing them.
When she and Roxie were college roommates, they used to build blanket forts to study in during finals week or when they had big tests coming up.
Does not lose any of her coordination. It depends on the day, it depends on the energy, but she loves to skate through subspace when she's small.
Has a gigantic collection of stuffed animals, all with their own names and backstories. No matter if she's big or small, she'll always have one or two of them in her bag. There have been times where she's been teetering on headspace and needed a friend, so she always brings at least one buddy with her whenever she leaves the house.
Talking about her plushies is a HUGE sign of trust. If asked, she'll usually have a brief, dismissive answer, but when she starts babbling about them, that's how you know you're in.

I’m kind of a sucker for bottle-feeding in agere scenarios. there’s something very intimate and innocent about being fed a warm bottle, a caregiver’s hand helping hold it in place, the warmth of the milk making them more sleepy with every sip, then maybe being burped and tucked into sleep very, very gently
VERY wide age range; she's a teen regressor, baby regressor, and everywhere in between
The more stressed she is, the younger she drops
Likes to be independent and keep things like meals, naps, playtime, etc. on her own terms
(Deep down, she really does like having a bit of a schedule to follow – she will ALWAYS put up a fuss when someone tells her it's naptime, but most of the time, she doesn't mean it)
However, you have to be VERY close to her to even TRY setting any kind of rules in place, too much or too fast and she closes herself off completely
Still very good at using her rollerblades – she WILL zoom off if you don't keep an eye on her
LOVES being sung to. Her favorite thing when she's on the tinier end is when Scott makes up silly songs for her
Usually very quiet when she regresses – this can make it hard for anyone else to realize she's small at all, but she likes it that way. She likes to just sit there and listen to the conversations going on around her...
...ESPECIALLY if it's Scott rambling about video games, movies, bands, whatever's on his mind that day. She'll never tell him, but hearing him ramble like that soothes her into feeling safe enough to go to sleep.
(When she's big again, she'll joke that he bored her to sleep. They both know that's not true and Scott will 100% do it again.)

first of all, i hc eddie, richie, stan, and bill as flips, bev as a regressor and babysitter, mike as a babysitter, and ben as a cg!
this is a v long post so it's all going under the cut haha
regressor eddie:
- calls richie “chee” and it’s his nickname reserved exclusively for his regression
- one of the youngest regressors of the losers, usually from 2-4
- has a soft blue blankie that he carries around with him everywhere
- usually wrapped around himself so he can also hold his floppy puppy stuffed animal
- he’s spoiled by the losers and his and richie’s bed is covered in stuffed animals that he’s gotten from all of them
- eddie likes bluey and sofia the first
- he also really likes disney but he can only watch tangled with richie bc it’s triggering and he needs his cg there to comfort him and tell him that he’s okay and that he’s free from sonia and he doesn’t have to worry about her anymore
- he also needs to watch princess and the frog with someone else bc it’s scary in certain parts and he doesn’t like watching it alone
- but safe bets are coco, moana, frozen, and mulan
- knows all the songs to all the disney movies and will force richie to sing along
- “force” except richie will gladly sing all of them with him
- he sings the male parts so eddie can sing all the princess parts
- but it makes eddie laugh too when he tries to sing the high parts
- eddie’s laugh when he’s regressed is higher pitched but lighter and he isn’t so self conscious about it so he tends to snort and cackle more often
- he isn’t self conscious about a lot of things when he’s regressed but he does occasionally struggle with flashbacks from his childhood
- when he does, richie gathers him up into his arms and kisses his hair and rocks him back and forth to show him that he’s okay, that he’s clean and that he doesn’t have to scrub his skin raw
- or he’ll give eddie a bath, but he’ll be so much more gentle than he knows eddie will be to himself
- and he’ll wrap him in a towel and snuggle him and read him a book or tell him a story in a funny voice until he falls asleep
regressor richie:
- usually regresses in response to overstimulation or general stress, he has more planned regression days than the others
- finds great pleasure in watching people’s reactions to him swearing
- even though everyone knows that he realistically does know the words he usually acts like he shouldn’t so it’s always a surprise
- can be a major brat and gets punished for it sometimes but eddie’s too soft on him to give him any real punishment
- usually it’s just something like going to bed without dessert (but he’ll still give him strawberries or something else sweet)
- so richie tends to act up regardless
- he does like to be very cuddly though, and can be very sweet when he wants to be
- likes the backyardigans when he’s regressed younger and pokémon when he’s a bit older
- loves going to the park or swimming at ben and bev’s pool
- either constantly talking or nonverbal
- always wants to tell the losers about some new fact about dinosaurs or space
- loves spending time with babysitter bev
- she spoils him rotten
- (little eddie too)
- he makes the others regress more often than anyone else
- not on purpose, but there's just something about being around a regressed richie that makes the others slip too
- he also has a dexter dragon in huge and little and a weighted dino from target!
regressor bev:
- has a lot of negative regression triggers
- eddie does too but she's more likely to regress from a negative trigger
- her age range is 6-9 but usually on the older side
- bc of this she takes on a big sister role for the others which she loves
- she never wanted a bio sibling but she loves her little brothers
- her dynamic with bill is like the oldest sibling and second oldest who thinks they’re just as much in charge as the oldest
- like bill will tell eddie he has to clean up his coloring before he can watch a movie and bev will stand there with her hands on her hips and be like “yeah! you gotta clean first!”
- likes dressing up the boys and putting them in makeup
- she also likes going swimming and going to the park or on nature walks with ben, things that she never got to do with her dad
- she calls ben "benji" or "bear"
regressor stan:
- he doesn't regress very often but when he does it's either to 5-6 or absolute baby
- you would expect him to be very polite and quiet but he's actually kind of a menace
- he will throw a tantrum if you tell him he can't do something
- and he always needs to be entertained
- luckily, he can be entertained by pretty much anything
- you can put on one of those cat sensory videos where birds fly across the scene and he'll be engrossed in it for ages
- when he's baby he watches baby einstein and just babbles
- richie will watch with him but then get bored and start tickling him or making funny faces to make stan laugh instead
- he still likes doing puzzles, even if he needs to do easier ones in that headspace
- has shelves full of bird plushies and he can name each one and its latin name
- quite a big brat and always gets in arguments with richie that escalate quickly since they're both drama queens
regressor bill:
- always coloring or drawing something
- he likes making drawings for the others to color in
- teaches them all how to fold paper boats, too
- regresses anywhere from 6-12 depending on what triggered it
- will often lash out and then isolate if he's regressed because of a georgie memory/guilt trip
- sometimes he just wants to remember what it's like to be taken care of and loved the way a little kid should be
- but he also loves being able to be a big brother again, especially to eddie, who he always sort of viewed that way
- he and eddie get along fantastically when they're regressed, and everyone thinks they're the cutest
- loves minecraft and roblox (so does richie)
- tells them scary stories sometimes (aka retelling fnaf lore) which makes eddie cry so then he has to comfort him and tell him he was only joking and it's all fake
cg hcs:
- bev has flashbacks that ben does his best to help her through but he can't do much without touching her so he'll put on one of her favorite movies from that age and make her a snack and then just sit next to her while she calms down
- he struggles with feeling like a good cg sometimes because he has to figure out how to balance setting boundaries and rules for bev and not being a pushover while also not being too strict
- mike is a pretty easygoing babysitter
- he loves taking the kiddos on trips to the library or museums or petting zoos
- all of them like playing dress up with his clothes because his wardrobe is full of bright colors and heavy flannels
Her age range is around 4-7, but she can go lower under certain circumstances (more on this later, I'll make a separate post later for babyspace Bev!)
For a long time, her regression is completely involuntary, and primarily happens when she's scared or in pain
However, Ben helps her through a lot, and eventually, she starts being able to pick up on when she needs to drop and asking for help rather than panic dropping out of nowhere
(The panic drops still happen occasionally, but the rest of the Losers have gotten good at being able to pick up on the warning signs and get her somewhere safe)
Speaking of the rest of the Losers:
It takes a LONG time for her to get comfortable with regressing around anyone but Ben, but once she does, she gets so excited when she finds out that someone's coming over to visit when she's small
Richie is her favorite babysitter because he makes her laugh and lets her stay up late to watch TV with him (she always ends up falling asleep on him; Richie has never kept himself so still in his entire life); Stan is a close second because he likes to take her to the zoo and always lets her pick out a stuffie (or two) from the gift shop (on one trip she gets a penguin and names it after him; he denies to this day that he started crying in the middle of the gift shop)
She and Eddie bond over their similar trauma; he's usually who she'll go to when she has nightmares or just bad days in general
If anyone else is little around her she'll immediately go into big sister mode; she tends to be a bit older if anyone else is small with her, she likes to be the one in charge
A few more misc. headcanons because I am simply rotating her around in my brain:
DRESS-UP! Whether it's herself, her stuffies, or the rest of the group, she LOVES to pick out different outfits and show them off! If she's feeling on the older side, she'll sew clothes for her stuffies, her favorite thing is to give them outfits that match her own!
Very big on physical contact; loves being held/carried, gives lots of hugs, she can't sleep unless she's got someone to cuddle (or at the very least, someone to be in the same room as her)
Her absolute favorite thing is when Ben bounces her on his lap and makes up silly songs until she laughs
this got. a lot longer than I thought it would be and this isn't even all my thoughts. whoopsies
