I WANNA CUDDLE IN A BLANKET FORT WHILE BINGE WATCHING THE OWL HOUSE, NOT MAKE OUT!

Just cuz someone loves someone who isn't related by blood, doesn't mean that it's romantic

Taking plushies to places and having ESSAs

Being (rad)queers, trans(gender/IDs) furries, therians, otherpaws, (age/pet) regressors, xenic and neopronoun using beings, and other things typically associated with children/teens

Doing things like quadrobics and hobby horsing, enjoying things like "childish" music, games, shows, and other media, liking things like skipping rope for fun, jumping on the trampoline for fun, swinging on swings for fun, and going into bouncy castles for fun, and having other "childish" interests like coloring and crafting silly things

Liking kid's media over adult media

Having meltdowns, breakdowns, tantrums, upsetness, and other "dysfunctional" "childish" behavior

Being confused, asking many questions, asking for help, and asking for advice, but also asking for their parents and asking for things like checking under the bed or in the closet

Not always feeling happy, optimistic, energized, or otherwise positively

Being traumatized, not being traumatized, loving their parents, not loving their parents, or things like not wanting a family
