Anon list under the cut!

Litle bit ago they added nurse sharks to a game i like an they one of my favrites but my favrite favrite shark is bamboo sharks i got to pet them at a aquarium one time

Hello you!!

That's a good question, while I was making this blog I didn't really have a favorite but I think I've since decided that nurse sharks are my favorite!! I love that they're known as gentle giants and form cuddle piles.. they're so sweet! Any game that has them is automatically a good game in my eyes!!! Bamboo sharks are also very pretty, it's so cool that you got to pet one! I hope I can pet a shark one day, that sounds really awesome!!!

Thank you for the fun question!!

Hello Beepz!!!

TADC is such a good show, I'm looking forward to seeing the finale! I love making OCs so much.. even moreso if they're bugs!!! This might be a shark themed blog but I am an entomologist at heart! She sounds super pretty and cool- I had the biggest dreamcore phase ever and it's still one of my favorite aesthetics! Drawing her sounds super duper fun!!!

I haven't made any OCs in a while but speaking of dreamcore I used to have a whole fictional world of object heads! I made them during.. I think the beginning of the pandemic? The main 4 aren't the most creative, I was having trouble sleeping one night and just thought "eh, I won't put much effort into thinking up cool designs or names since I probably won't remember in the morning!" Low and behold they became my best friends during the pandemic and I still think fondly of them hehe! But yeah they were pretty stereotypical.. an eye, a computer head, a flower, and then one was just a bunch of black scribbles! My story idea was that the world they're in is the home of "lost souls" or something like that, but one day this person called The Dreamer falls asleep and wakes up there despite being alive and having a normal face! So they travel through the infinit landscapes to get them back from the real world.. I won't go on about it anymore, I feel a little embarrassed talking about it!

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to yap, stay creative!!!

Hello my friend!!

I'm proud of you for trying to shower more regularly, it can be really hard sometimes!! Let's see what I can come up with..

Set a schedule! Probably something you're already starting to do, but setting things like specific times and/or days can really help, especially in terms of keeping up with it once you've started! It can also sometimes help if you start the day immediately with a shower, it helps push you to get it done so that you can start all the other things you have planned for the day!

Make baths fun!! It's a lot easier to do something if you actually enjoy it.. turning on music is an easy one but depending on your situation you can maybe even bring in some water-friendly toys to keep you company or bath crayons.. even fun scented soap can go a long way!

Pinpoint what you don't like about showering and go from there! Is it the standing? You can always sit down! Is it how much time it takes? Focus on the most important parts to clean, anything is better than nothing! Is it just getting around to it? Maybe it's worth getting a sticker chart or some sort of motivation!

Speaking of that last point, positive reinforcement goes a long way! Even if it's something small like "ooo I get to use this nice scented lotion after" or letting yourself have a piece of candy once it's done!

I hope this gives you at least a few ideas! I'm really proud of you for reaching out!

I was addicted to c ai for a couple years and I haven't used it in almost six months (and im very proud of that) but i wanna use it again even though i know I shouldn't. AI is bad and i should use my own brain to be creative but I want to use c ai so bad today. Im not going to bc I shouldn't but it feels so embarrassing still wanting to even though i know its bad. Im normally very anti ai so I dont know why this is harder to let go of

Hello lovely, it's perfectly alright to skip your signoff when you need to- what matters to me is that you feel safe and comfortable here!

First off, I'm so so very proud of you for reaching 6 months, that's seriously super impressive and you deserve to be proud of that achievement! That being said, it's normal for addictions to come crawling back now and then, you're not a bad person for having to fight that urge and it doesn't discredit the amazing progress you've made. AI was made to be addicting, even when we know that it's bad, you're not alone in struggling with that and you shouldn't be embarrassed for it. C.AI is especially hard because it never ends the conversation, it's made to keep you there.. which is why I'm so very proud of you for what you've accomplished!

Being creative is a great way to find that fulfillment but it can be hard when we're tired and lonely, I'd really recommend looking into fics of those characters if you can- it's a good way of engaging with that character without supporting ai! It can be hard if it's a niche character (especially if you're looking for specifically agere interactions) but there are also agere blogs around here who take asks and then respond as the character of your choosing- it's a really sweet thing! It can also help to write your own fanfic-esque interactions and then be able to return to them whenever you like, though writing isn't for everyone (though no one says it has to be "good" writing- just whatever makes you feel seen and loved!)

Sending huge hugs, you're not alone in struggling with this. I'm so proud of all your hard work!

I wish I was 15 and running away

I wish I was 14 and being stupid

I think I might be a middle trapped as the host of an adult system and…that scares me

what if I’m just a kid?

Will I be a kid forever?

where did the other kid go?

I’m scared….

Hello lovely

Growing up is a really hard and scary thing, you're so far from alone in thinking that. It can be especially hard for us smalls that still have our inner children as such a huge and important part of our lives.. it can be a lot.

Being a middle in such a big world can be scary, but you're not facing it alone. Your headmates will be there to help you, even if you're the host, and you have outside friends and people you can always talk to and experience this alongside. Regressor or not, hardly anyone feels prepared for the adult world, but that doesn't mean you won't succeed and you certainly don't have to give up your inner child and regression.

You're not alone, we're all here with you, and I'm so very proud of you. Sending huge hugs

Last night and this morning I regressed smaller then I have ever before usually I am a bit older like 5-7 but I was little little it was kinda scary. Small small me doesn't like big me very much and wasn't very happy. Usually I don't think about having a cg but I really hated being alone when I was that little :( IDK why all of a sudden I felt little little like that. It did help me sleep feeling that little tho so I think that's good then.

Hello there!

Regressing really small for the first time can be spooky, especially if it's not at all what you're used to! It might just be a sign that your body and mind need some extra care, regressing is a great tool for that!! I'm sorry small small you didn't like big you.. that must have been hard to deal with when you weren't expecting them (small small you that is!). Being that small and alone can be hard, that's why cgs are a thing, but also just talking to people in the community and making friends is great for company and keeping small you happy! I personally really like youtube virtual playdates too, babiedani has some great ones!

I'm glad to hear it helped you sleep, it probably is a sign that your body or mind is going through something! It might be worth analyzing your situation to see if there's any new stressors or things making you tired.. but sometimes our brains just need a little vacation too!

Sending big hugs, you're so brave

Hello you!!!

Oh my goodness that so fun!!! Merch of your favorite characters is always the best! I hope they have a happy home with you! I got a (very) belated birthday gift a few days ago.. now I have 2 rubber ducks based on some of my favorite characters! They're so silly!!! More characters need to be made into rubber ducks..

Sending big high fives and joy!

I've had this question floating around in my head for a while now.. how does gendering plushies during childhood relate to gender identities in adulthood? Does it relate at all? That's what we're here to see! Sadly didn't have very many options so I had to keep things vague and might have missed out on some possibilities.. by masculine/feminine I mean both cisgender or trans, or even gender identities that lean towards those like demigirl/boy (though you're more than welcome to put non-cis if that feels more like you!). I didn't have space to add "equal mix of genders" for each of the identities, so if you'd like to add that in a comment then I'd appreciate it! Plushies can be any sort of toy, but please try to think of ones that didn't have an assigned gender such as barbies!

Thank you for taking part, the more responses the better!

In agere communities, I mainly see things for baby regressors, toddler regressors, and child regressors. I don't see a lot of stuff for teen regressors. I'm permanently age regressed to around 15, and sometimes I feel bad that I don't regress younger like other age regressors.

🧡 🦈

Hello there!

I don't know how to start this other than going straight to the point- yes that is 100% valid! While it may be less common, teen regressors do exist! The only real "requirement" for age regression is regressing to the mindset of a younger age, and 15 is younger than 24 so it all checks out!

Lots of media in the community is centered around baby regressors, the same way most of it is feminine and soft in aesthetic too, but that doesn't mean that's the only option! Middlespace communities exist, even if they're smaller than the age regression community as a whole.. I actually have a few other teen regressors that frequent my aquarium too, at least 2 of them! My personal belief is that there are actually a lot of them out there, but since it's not as far from your bodily age then most probably don't notice the change in headspace as much! But that's just my belief..

There is no reason that regressing to 15 is invalid, and you shouldn't have to change yourself or wish you were different to have a place here in the community. You are welcomed and valued here just as you are. If it helps you and is part of your identity then that's all that matters!

Big hugs, you belong here!

do we like th ideaaaaaa :3

-⚙️beepz⚙️

Hello Beepz!!

Oooo I absolutely love that idea! I love text with pretty colors, and it makes it super easy to know if I'm talking to big or small Beepz! You're so clever for coming up with that!!!

I look forward to seeing your idea in action soon!

-mama shark 🦈

today i might get to go to the thrift store :D Im reallt exctied

sorry if im doing this wrong hahaha… im don’t usually regress often…

-emizel 🦇

Hello there Emizel, that's such a lovely name!

You can absolutely talk about your day!!! That is the main purpose of my asks since it's what the button says but you can talk about literally anything- your day, advice, something you're looking forward to, vents.. just so long as it's respectful then I'd love to hear about it!

Going to thrift stores is super fun, you never know what you'll find there! Last time I went it was for halloween costume accessories but I ended up seeing a familiar pattern across the room and beelined to grab who's now one of my build a bears! He's the glow in the dark Jack'o'lantern bear and he has skeleton pajamas and a minions voicebox.. he was in the houseware section of all places! Who would put him there?? Anyways I hope you find something neat as well as whatever you're going there for, there's so much to discover!

You're not doing this wrong at all, and you don't have to be regressed to talk here! I don't regress often either.. you're still my friend regardless of the headspace!

Wishing you magical second-hand finds!

-mama shark 🦈

Does buba hav anyting fun plan?/nf

Hello friend!!

Oooo that sounds like loads of fun! Seeing your friends is also great, and pools make everything better!! I love playing shark ehe, I hope you have the best time ever!! Maybe they'll have yummy snacks too

Hmmm let's see.. I don't have too much planned because tomorrow is my last day of classes before it's all exams all the time! But I'm thinking about getting dinner from my favorite restaurant to celebrate, I love their garlic bread so much.. and then once exams are done I'm heading on a vacation! I'm taking another course online while I'm there but I'm going to make sure to get as much relaxation as possible!

I hope you had a terrific time lovely, stay jawsome!

-mama shark 🦈

I had a good day. got lots of stuff done, and chatted with my friends!

💜🐾

Hello you!!!

Rollerskating was super fun! I didn't even fall this time, though I can't say the same for my friend.. it's super fun and great exercise, I really recommend trying it! The rink was empty other than us too so we got to request songs and try tricks and be silly!!

I'm so glad to hear that you had a good day, being able to get work done and have time to talk to your friends is the recipe for a great day!

Hope you have a terrific timezone!

-mama shark 🦈

Hello lovely

I'm so sorry to hear that, you should be feeling safe while you're getting rest, not scared.. dealing with nightmares can be hard if it's related to trauma or big fears, but keeping a steady sleep schedule can sometimes help. Another suggestion involves journaling! Waking up frozen sounds really scary, but once you're able to slowly move again it might be worth grabbing a journal (or a notes app on your phone) to write down the dream but give it a positive ending. If the dreams are the same themes then it can help to reread those stories before bed or once you wake up!

Sending huge hugs, you're not going through this alone
