regressors who are just so, so sleepy and their cgs who know and are already preparing for put down.

infant regressors who cry and whine, feeling their body tighten up and the blanket of sleep making them cranky and their caregiver who picks them up gently. cooing at them and letting their little baby cling to them till they settled in their crib.

toddler regressors who yawn while they put up a fight, claiming they're too big for nap time and their wide awake anyways. their eyes falling heavy and the rapid movements of play time become slow and steady, words between action figures and dolls becomes mumbled. caregiver who chuckles at the scene and makes sure to sit close by, giving their kiddo the chance to cuddle up before sending them to dreamland.

kid regressors who know they're drifting off and can get themselves to bed with no problem, but still sheepishly ask their caregiver to help them. getting them tucked in, mumbling and rambling about different things in the process, and one final kiss on the temple to seal it all together.

teenage regressors who think they're too old for naps, but the weight of the world exhausts them. who texts their cg about taking a nap, sending emoticons to match and explaining it feels childish in a way. and their caregiver smiling to themself as they explain you'll always be their baby.

having my stuffed animals sitting on my lap and my favourite blanket wrapped around me while he talks about anything and everything with my favourite music playing quietly through the speakers

Sitting in the passenger seat with the window slightly open in the summer, keeping us both cool, or having the heating on in the winter making me super sleepy

"Wanna listen to some music kiddo?" Them laughing at your movement so they put on your favorite song of course letting the kitchen become your dance floor! Maybe your movement is limited don't worry they'd dance it with you sitting down or help you move to the beat whatever way is most comfortable way for you!

You might not believe you are a good dancer but they sure do! They cant help but be your biggest fan as you dance around while they stir the pot, maybe even swaying along with you ♥️

Lmao get cradled loser

Covers you with blanket

Like, no this character isn't using a pacifier or gripping onto a plushie or padded or wearing childing clothing, but they are hiding behind their most trusted person in the friend group, either a parental figure or close friend, when things feel too big and new.

They aren't crying out for mommy or daddy, or throwing a tantrum, but they're sobbing to themselves in the middle of the night, clutching their pillow like a person, because everything feels too big and too much

They aren't burying themselves in pacifiers, teethers, or plushies, but they're chewing on their shirt or hand when they get anxious and hugging their pillow to their chest like a lifeline

so, alternatively, i like to watch youtube with like really calm videos about stuff that interests me! and i wanted to share a list of the types of channels on youtube i like to watch when i'm regressed to help other people who might feel the same :D

(i'll be editing this every now and then to add more creators that i come across)

North of the Border - creator that makes clay models

tanks for nothing - creator that builds fish tanks

Danny's Aquariums - creator that builds aquariums and talks about feeding/ maintenance

SerpaDesign - creator that builds aquariums, terrariums, paludariums, ect

Vanki Nails - creator that does nail art tutorials with no speaking

Safe Space ASMR - self explanatory, lots of personal attention videos like makeup and haircuts or pretend medical exams

Luna Bloom ASMR - self explanatory, some of her videos can be a little overwhelming, but they're typically labelled as being "fast and chaotic", so they're easy to avoid

Imagine your sibling and you, alone at home, making the wackiest random games ever to pass the time. They end up chasing you with a still-wet towel from the drying rack, barking quips at eachother like dogs
