Trinket, the tiny angel

It’s an objecthead with it/its/itself and Trinket pronouns 😇🔔✨

I made this for the WeirdRe Sona contest by @weirdregression so I’ll also post some links to the contest post and what WeirdRe is:

Weirdre or weird regression is a term that I have coined to represent age/pet regressors/dreamers who find comfort in the weird, the icky and the macabre.

The reason I thought this was necessary is because these things, while they may bring comfort to us, make most regressors very uncomfortable. Making this a searchable/blockable tag, will be best for everyone. It means that those of us who horror and surrealism give the warm fuzzies, can find each other. As well as that it allows those who aren’t comfortable with it an easy tag to block if they feel uncomfy with anything that can classed as weirdre. It will be less effort to just block the one tag than every single iteration of (horror thing)+agere.

What is Weirdre?

Weirdre can encompass things such as:

Weirdcore (the namesake)

Surrealism

Creepypasta

Slasher Films

General Horror

Backrooms

ARGs

And more…

If something could be counted as bringing you joy and making you regress, but isn’t exactly child friendly in the traditional sense? Then it’s weirdre.

For example, I like Killer Klowns from Outer Space, it’s comforting and makes me regress. But most regressors, just wouldn’t want a post about KKFOS to just be tagged as agere, it’s not very friendly media. It’s a horror movie after all, even if a horror comedy, it could easily be upsetting to some in a younger mind state.

So if I were to tag it as being weirdre, someone with the tag blocked wouldn’t see it, but a regressor that’s like me, might find and enjoy it.

What isn’t Weirdre?

This is a very important topic with weirdre. It’s not strictly child friendly, but it’s also not really nsfw either. So where does that leave us?

Weirdre is NOT:

DD/LG or variants

AB/DL or variants

In any way nsfw, kink or lewd

Venting

IRL gore

ED

IRL disturbing topics(true crime, irl murderers, etc.)

Not tagging your content warnings/trigger warnings

Proshipping

Traumacore

Or anything like that

On gore in Weirdre

Gore is a complex subject here. Of course, by nature of the fact that we’re dealing with horror and weirdcore. There will be some amount of it.

Gore is hesitantly allowed so long as it is fake and not sexualised/romanticised. Be that drawn gore, or via SFX.

It is incredibly important to tag this gore. As even when talking about people who find comfort in horror, they still may not want to see gore.

In fact, tagging upsetting or triggering things is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of weirdre.

You can’t just tag weirdre and have that be it, the purpose of this tag is to keep everyone safe; above all else, weirdre is a WARNING. You have to let us know what you are warning us of.
