Sometime I’m a toddler or a kid but I act tough playing with toys and war videos games

Sometime i’m just a baby and I don’t know what to do without someone next to me

But I’m still me

I’m still the same traumatised teen just, mentally younger

It has been getting pretty hot recently, especially for Europeans, so here are some things to know if you regress during this time, plus how to deal with the heatwave..!

Keep your pacis away from the sun..!

Keeping a pacifier in direct sunline, like on a window sill, will make it prone to breaking and cracking - these cracks can then trap moisture inside the nipple and cause mold.. If you have a paci that has been kept in sunlight, make sure to thoroughly check it for any breakage..!

If you feel like your pacifier has suddely become sticky or "slippery" when putting it in your mouth, TAKE IT OUT AND RINSE YOUR MOUTH.. That is the latex melting from the sun, you should safely dispose of this and make sure your mouth is thoroughly rinsed.

Keeping hydrated and safe..!

Hydrating, especially now, is very important.. Keep a waterbottle full of cold water next to you at all time - if water is too icky, it's more recommended to use water flavour packets than subsituting for other drinks, as these other drinks may dehydrate you even more (coffee, caffinated drink/energy drinks, sodas, etc.)

Using sippy cups / bottles can help you stay hydrated even when regressing - but if you decided to use things like juice, milk, soda, etc. instead of water - make sure to not let the sippy/bottle sit in direct sunlight and try to clean it out instantly - leaving it out with drink residue can lead to growing mold, especially if its silicone or a bottle with a nipple - when you finish your drink, instantly rinse it out..!

Keeping your space and yourself cool..!

A lot of Europeans tend to not have AC, so one way you can ensure that your home stays cool is to create a cross-breeze - open up all the windows, with two windows from opposite sides of the home fully open (make sure they aren't restricted by doors, walls, hallways. If there are no windows that could meet throughout the house, open up two windows in a room from the opposite ends so that they are opposite of eachother). This will create a cross-breeze through the room from the little wind that's outside, cooling the space.

Try keeping most of the doors open - this will help especially with the cross-breeze..!

If the sun is facing your room and making it hotter, close the blinds/curtains while leaving the windows open to make sure the room doesnt overheat..!

Besides drinking water, taking cold showers can help cooling you down, but if cold showers are difficult for you - dipping your feet and wrists in cool water can help too, it's advized to do this as much as you can, especially if your country is in the 35-40 celsius range..!

Take a rag/towelette and run it under cold water, ring it out and place it behind your neck or on your wrists to cool you down, its especially recommended to keep a cold rag on the back of your neck during the hottest point of the day..!

Try avoiding onesies or any clothing that may overheat you - settle on light-weight breathable matterial, avoid anything that may cover your skin more - opt for shorts, short sleeved tops / tank tops..!

AVOID GOING OUTSIDE..! Especially during the hottest points of the day, but if you must go outside, protect yourself with a light-colored hat that blocks the sun from your face, sunglasses, light-colored and light-weight clothing with sunscreen..! If able, getting a sunblocking umbrella can also be very good..!

Recognizing heat exhaustion..!!

If you start heavily sweating with cold skin, feel dizzy or nauseous, or feel a rapid pulse - IMMEDIATELY move to a shaded area, somewhere that is cooler and lightly sip of cool water, keep a cool rag on the back of your neck, wrists, under your armpits and on your thighs/groin. If symptoms dont improve or you start feeling confused, request someone to call the emergency line immediately..!

Remember that heat exhaustion can lead to a heat stroke, which can be fatal, so it is very important for you to look out for youself and others when seeing the signs of heat exhaustion - heat exhaustion can be treated and elevated, so dont wait on it..!!

Stay safe everyone, keep cool.. <3

Rocky who notices that Grace, in his sleep, presses his quilt to him mouth, and at first Rocky perceives this as unconscious hunger. And he could be right.

But, when he decides to search more into this human sleeping habit, he is met with human pebbles. 'This isn't right. Grace is not a pebble.' He thinks, feeling frustrated. The human thinking machine is tricky, he realizes.

This, of course, leads him down the rabbit hole of age regression. 'Perhaps it's involuntary, since he is sleeping. Will have to ask difference.' Rocky thinks, noting a lot of things that could probably help his human friend.

"It helps calm and destress people, a safe and effective way to cope with anything, most commonly are from everyday stress to trauma. There's no correct way to regress, as everyone is differently unique."

He reads article after article, fully intended to bring it Graces attention, as he already takes care of his human friend along with Armando, for the handy work. No pun intended.

When Grace wakes up, Rocky is still watching, though working on something new.

"Good morning." Graces voice is groggy, and he's still lying down, watching through the wall as his buddy tinkers. "What are you working on?"

Rocky moves his body contemplatively, as if choosing his words.

"New project for Grace. Did lots of research while sleeping." He explains, quite obviously vague.

"Oh? What is it?" Grace asks, catching on quickly that it's something the other might want to hide.

"Mouth soother, for adults. Look on human thinking machine about oral fixation in sleep. You are using your quilt subconsciously in your sleep, this can lead to protection choking or asphyxiation. Am making item to help prevent, since I cannot come over just yet."

Grace blinked at him, surprised and intrigued.

That was a lot of information at once. A soother? For adults?

"Like a pacifier?"

"Need word."

"Pacifier? It's a soother typically made for babies and children, to soothe and help their teeth grow in." Grace explained with a little shake of his head. "You're making a pacifier?"

"Yes, will be right size for Graces mouth. Measured myself, will help." Rocky says this with confidence, which makes something in Grace shine.

Part of him feels like he ought to argue, defend himself, even fight and deny it, but he when he turns his head towards anger it feels... lackluster. Not the way anger can feel good, this felt icky.

That promise that sweet headspace promised was nipping at his heels. Tempting indeed.

Grace takes a deep breath and sighs.

"Wow... uhm.. thank you. Rocky." He coughs, clearing his throat as his face flushes. It feels embarrassing to suddenly exist, and he wants nothing more than to hide.

"You are welcome. Will be done soon."

He stares and stares at Rocky until Mary quite loudly announces it's time for breakfast.

"Up time." Rocky announces, getting into his ball and leaving the station. It makes Grace a little sad. Rocky must notice this because he makes a reassuring song.

"Will finish before next scheduled meal, I am quick worker. Come," He's rolling his ball into Graces knees.

So! Shoutouts to

Regressors who find comfort in media that isn't made for kids,

Regressors who seek out nostalgic media from different time periods than their childhood (80s, 90s, 2000s, etc)

Regressors who avoid specific childhood media because it's triggering or doesn't interest them

Regressors whose hobbies don't really change much when regressed! Regressors who continue to write, play games, roleplay, cook/bake, crochet, etc!

Regressors who struggle with vulnerability!

Regressors with intense special interests/hyperfixations!

Regressors who don't like being infantalized/talked down to!

Regressors who like to daydream instead of higher energy activities!

Mama who always has sensory toys in their bag to help ground their baby. Crinkly toys, spin gadgets or pain fidgets to help ground them via their hands or fingers.

Mama who always talks them through it and pulls them aside if the episode happens in public places. Quiet spaces work best to bring their baby back

Mama who talks to them in a firm voice to get them out of it, but no anger and no fear. Cause fear makes situations worse.

Mama who holds their hands tight and bear hugs them to reassure them that they are here and not in that dream state. Mama holds them and pats them to make sure they're able to notice that they're body is here, as well as their mind.

Mama who breathes with their baby and doesn't rush them so they know that they're safe and ok to go through it, even If it is scary.

Mama who has snacks to bring them back like sour candies or spicy foods.

Mama who coos and tells them that it's alright and gives them stuffies or comfort items after it passes.

Mama who doesn't discourage them from holding onto their items or them after. These episodes are super scary and babies need their mamas and/or stuffies.

Remember kiddos, derealization may be super scary, (I suffer from it so I totally understand how you guys feel!) But with the right items, words and coping mechanisms, it WILL pass! Even if it comes again n again. It will always pass. You are so much stronger than those icky episodes and feelings. And your mamas, papas and bubbas are always there to comfort you all. You are NOT a burden. And you give so much love to your caregivers, and they love you just as much!

Media: Five Nights at Freddy's Security Breach

Age Appropriate? Overall the game is rated PEGI-12 because it contains moderate horror themes, jumpscares, constant suspense and violence though it's directed towards robots instead of humans.

Requested? Yes, by Anon

Author's Note: I LOVE this game so much, I still remember the first time I ever discovered fnaf. My favorite characters are definitely Mangle, Sun and Moon (what a coincidence that I got a request for a moodboard + headcanons for them).

— MOMMY LONG LEGS:

☆ ┈ You know, Mommy has a weakness for orphans, she always felt protective towards them. And you are a prime example of that.

☆ ┈ When she first meets you, you're scared because you don't understand what's going on around you. It's an opportune moment for her to intervene.

☆ ┈ And there she is. Calling out to you in a caring voice, asking if you're injured and trying to convince you that she can help.

☆ ┈ In fact, considering that the orphans were in Playcare, you've been with CatNap for a long time before Mommy found you.

☆ ┈ Imagine that you escaped from him after learning that The Prototype was coming for you, and you accidentally stumbled upon her, and she picked you up.

☆ ┈ Oh, what a pleasantly exciting surprise it was to find you here! She was certain that all the orphans had been taken away..or that there were no orphans left in the building.

☆ ┈ In any case, you have nothing to worry about! Mommy will take care of you. You trust her, don't you?

☆ ┈ She takes you higher up, to an isolated area where hungry toys don't roam, and where no one will find you.

☆ ┈ You know, she feels sorry for you. According to your stories, you accidentally avoided witnessing the massacre, and when you emerged from your hiding place, you were immediately picked up by this..damn fanatic.

☆ ┈ She explains to you in a soothing voice that the other orphans are no longer here because "they were taken away by evil toys," and the adults allegedly abandoned you all, wanting to leave themselves.

☆ ┈ Mommy wants you to believe and trust only her, trying to make you think that everyone is against you so that she has more arguments to keep you with her.

☆ ┈ Considering that the time in which the events are taking place is only the end of The Hour of Joy, there is still some food for people in the area...And it's all for you!

☆ ┈ She literally sets up a "store" for you, collecting any food you can eat, sometimes even stealing from others who are also trying to stock up.

☆ ┈ She affectionately refers to you as her kid, constantly mimicking the actions that would occur between a mother and a child.

☆ ┈ She combs your hair, puts you to sleep in a broken makeshift bed, sings lullabies to you, plays with you in games you like..In essence, she becomes your parent.

☆ ┈ Any toys that attempt to approach you are likely to be killed.

☆ ┈ It's not even about the lack of food, as things were still fine back then - she's simply afraid that someone might harm you.

☆ ┈ She believes that only she can treat you well, and everyone else poses a danger, so if she sees you near someone, she will carefully move you away.

☆ ┈ ..Before she devours the overly curious toy. You don't want to mess with an angry mother.

☆ ┈ This is how you currently live, confined to your small corner and venturing out to explore the area, usually under her supervision.

☆ ┈ However, as charming as this life with you may be..She is wary of him.

☆ ┈ To be honest, I'm not sure if she knows about The Prototype taking all the children, as she mentioned that they "left her," but she still fears that he might be interested in you.

☆ ┈ CatNap used to keep an eye on you... Which means that he will soon become aware of your existence in the factory..

☆ ┈ Mommy values you too much to let you go, and she is not willing to give you up. If she has to hide you and lurk in the shadows on the surface, hoping that he won't find her, then so be it.

☆ ┈ They want to take you away. Take her child away. No, no, she will not allow this to happen.

— "My sweet, where are you going? I told you it's not safe! You know there might be some bad toys waiting for you outside..."

— "Come on, come on, Mommy has just thought of a great game to cheer you up!"

— CATNAP:

☆ ┈ Although we started with Mommy, this is only the middle of the story. It all started with CatNap.

☆ ┈ CatNap was the first to find you. As he was walking around Playcare, watching some of the toys carry the corpses of scientists and regular workers to different parts of the factory, he heard sobs.

☆ ┈ You were quietly calling out names, probably your friends or the factory's employees (he doesn't remember them all), moving cautiously, clearly frightened by the blood around you.

☆ ┈ He doesn't call out to you. He doesn't reveal himself. He just watches from a distance, slowly approaching you.

☆ ┈ Eventually, you're cornered, pressed against the wall, with CatNap blocking your exit, observing you from the shadows.

☆ ┈ He didn't mean to scare you, but it was an expected reaction. Who wouldn't be frightened by a large, blood-soaked toy staring at them?

☆ ┈ Fortunately for you, he doesn't have any malicious intentions. In fact, CatNap probably knows that all the orphans belong to The Prototype..

☆ ┈ But I can't even choose which theory about "Better Place" sounds the most logical, so let's just assume that CatNap doesn't know what will happen to the orphans, okay?

☆ ┈ It's unlikely that his "God" didn't notice you.. Perhaps he left you in CatNap's care? Even if he doesn't understand his will, who is CatNap to resist it?

☆ ┈ CatNap believes that The Prototype left you for him (even if he's not sure why), and since he's decided that you should stay here, he might as well enjoy some company.

☆ ┈ He doesn't want you to stumble upon things you shouldn't see. Besides, not all toys are worth bumping into..

☆ ┈ CatNap sees himself in you in a way. He was also confused when it happened to him...this. But he's here to guide you.

☆ ┈ He asks you to call him "Theodore." Whether you knew him as a person or not, he doesn't want to be referred to by that name.

☆ ┈ Literally, all of his interactions with you are his not-so-subtle attempts to show you his concern.

☆ ┈ He makes sure you stay safe, constantly brings you food when you're hungry, and sometimes agrees to play with you.

☆ ┈ You often fall asleep leaning on him. He doesn't even need to use red smoke; you trust him enough to fall asleep next to him. And he's glad about it.

☆ ┈ This is..not bad. You might even grow attached to him, because he seems to really appreciate you. Until a certain point.

☆ ┈ You find out about The Prototype..and the Prototype finds out about you.

☆ ┈ Even a child, if they hear about how a huge, scary toy planned and executed the massacre of all the adults in the complex, they'll understand that it's terrifying and they should run away.

☆ ┈ So, you accidentally encounter a half-dead "heretic" who rejected The Prototype, and before they died, they told you about what happened here and that you should run away before he finds out you're here.

☆ ┈ Naturally, you panic and try to escape. But you've forgotten one thing: CatNap is always nearby.

☆ ┈ At first, he just followed you, not understanding what made you wander around so chaotically, as you usually take your time exploring familiar places, until he realized what you were trying to find.

☆ ┈ He's genuinely upset. CatNap believed that he was taking good care of you and that you liked him. Whoever caused you to turn away from him won't be able to end his suffering so easily.

☆ ┈ At some point, you hear him calling out to you. A dull, loud hum echoes somewhere nearby, and you can hear his monotonous voice calling your name.

☆ ┈ Soon, you hear footsteps. No, it's even a running sound. And then it dawns on you that CatNap is searching for you, and he clearly doesn't want you to leave, as you've been under his watch for some time.

☆ ┈ He's been chasing you for a long time. Perhaps the reason he hasn't caught you yet is because you know these places and you're quick. And soon, he loses sight of you.

☆ ┈ He's determined to find you, no matter the means. Taking you away means going against The Prototype, and that comes at a high cost.

☆ ┈ And when The Prototype appears? Yea, it's going to be a bad day for Mommy.

— "You shouldn't leave Playcare.. It's too dangerous for you outside. Come back."

— THE PROTOTYPE:

☆ ┈ The obsessed bastard became even more obsessed? Sounds bad for u

☆ ┈ It was funny how it didn't sound, he really just didn't find you when he took the orphan. Maybe you hid somewhere and fell asleep there, which is why he didn't notice you.

☆ ┈ Anyway, he hadn't known about your existence until he heard rumors that somewhere upstairs there was an orphan.

☆ ┈ It's not advisable you'd get out. Few people believe the child's words about what was happening in the factory, but there is always a chance that someone might want to check and go to the factory.

☆ ┈ Unnecessary witnesses to nothing.

☆ ┈ At the time it comes to Playcare, you've already escaped. Naturally, the prototype was angry at CatNap for just giving you walk around here freely..

☆ ┈ But when he heard the muttering about that someone dared to capture you, dear gift of The Prototype, he softened. CatNap can still be useful to him, after all.

☆ ┈ The Prototype does not like to get out on the surface. Too little room for him..So he intends to do so that you would come to him.

☆ ┈ He's get a walkie-talkie and try to contact you, as "Ollie". First, he wondered where you and who. Obviously someone help you escaped, since you know how to get out.

☆ ┈ ..Momny Long Legs, hm. Somehow he doesn't feel surprised. Yet, just leave you with her he doesn't intend.

☆ ┈ Initially, the prototype wanted to know your location, but hearing your cheerful voice that grunts on the fact that toys around you frighten you with his obsession behavior, he intrigued.

☆ ┈ This turns into a kind of "game" for him, leading you, directing, revealing the truth about this place (but not for himself).

☆ ┈ Poppy did not approve the hour of Joy and revolts against him, her rebellion was not joyful. And here you, even if at a distance, but still you make him company

☆ ┈ He finds some kind of solace in you, although he doesn't really want to admit it. You feel like Ollie on the other end of the phone is also orphan who managed to escape the fate of others, and that he wants to help you...

☆ ┈ Well, in a way, he really does want to help you. To find out the truth.

☆ ┈ Ollie tells you that all the orphans were taken by The Prototype, that CatNap blesses him and he's insane, and that Mommy is lying to you about everything.

☆ ┈ You're already starting to wonder who to trust in this damn place...

☆ ┈ The Prototype is interested in you. He's heard you crying, and how it feels better when he comforts you, and how you're trying to find out the truth about this place, and how you're holding up well despite the shocking truth.

☆ ┈ He's turning you against the other toys, making you believe only in him, and to ensure that you don't doubt the truth of his words, he's trying to show you a video or somethin like this of The Hour of Joy.

☆ ┈ The Prototype has even made several attempts to attack you, only for Ollie to help you, making you trust him even more.

☆ ┈ Ollie will set you free. Isn't he's wonderful?

☆ ┈ While you're making rebellious attempts to escape for Mommy and CatNap, The Prototype isn't wasting any time.

☆ ┈ He's constantly experimenting on the toys, striving to make them as immortal as he is, in order to make you the same.

☆ ┈ He's been thinking about making you a toy, yes. But not yet. There's too much risk of losing you, and he can't allow that to happen..

☆ ┈ However, it can't go on like this for much longer, and at some point, you try to escape from Mommy, running around the floor in an attempt to hide, and you contact Ollie, asking him how to leave this place.

☆ ┈ He provides you with all the clues that lead to her death. It could be similar to the game, or it could involve The Prototype himself...

☆ ┈ In any case, the last time you see Mommy, her impaled body is slowly dragged away by a clawed hand.

☆ ┈ And soon, he comes for you.

☆ ┈ "Ollie" brings you directly into The Prototype's arms. You may try to resist, but you'll eventually be sedated and wake up in a dark, foul-smelling room.

☆ ┈ You'll have to wait here for a while until he's confident in the success of the operation. But don't worry, he'll take care of you.

☆ ┈ After all, he is still your friend, right? Does it really matter in what form?

— "Ollie? He's here. In front of you. I'm always here for you."
