The Trope Where A Character Overhears Something Out Of Context And Assumes The Worst Is Usually Annoying

teaching my baby how to say my name >< !!

"can you say mama, baby? ma-ma ! how about dada? da - da ! oh my goodness! good job, little one !"

There comes a certain sadness in being a regressor without a caregiver, but also one who's severely traumatized and neglected. Finding comfort in dark moments by tumblr caregiver posts, feeling like someone cares. Not entirely understanding nostalgia and getting sad when seeing posts about favorite childhood snacks, movies, activities because you never grew up on them. Feeling awkward while playing and or having to relearn it because it wasn't really a thing. I wasn't allowed or given many toys at all. Seeing other regressors happily posting about their caregiver, feeling bittersweet. I'm glad they have them, they deserve happiness and support- but will I ever get that? I hope one day that's me too. Living through cartoons: wishing you had a friend group, family, or whatever like those characters. Happy endings. Imagining lots of scenarios or talking to character.ai cg characters, wanting it to be real so bad. Wanting a caregiver, yet being so scared about being a "difficult" regressor or needing "too much care and comfort." Wishing there was just someone to hold me and pat my head while tiny, playing with my hair and giving me their full attention. It would feel weird, really weird- I don't get attention much, but I'd hope that little me would be okay and happy with that. Bottom line, I hope for the fun days and happy ending of finding someone who will love me and accept my regression. If there's any regressors out there with c-PTSD, trauma, or really just anything that makes them fearful they won't ever get it- please keep trying. One day. I always tell myself that I'm sure I'll be so happy in the future, and look back on moments like these going "she was strong. she didnt know of the moonlight that would hug her everyday, yet she still pushed through- she made it"

oh to have a real agere daycare!

everyone would have hooks with their names above to hang up their coats and little cubbys to put their belongings in! carers could sign their babies in or regressors could do it themslves with the help of a carer on staff! <3 it'd be such a warm, welcoming, judgement free place where everyone can safely be themslves...💭

there would be a quiet, soft and safe room for baby regressors to crawl around and play with toys! so many foam blocks to build with and stuffies to cuddle! there would be highchairs for snacks, and little inside tents for the babies that like to play alone and cribs for nap time with little nature themed mobiles above them!

and for the tots and kiddos, there would be baskets upon baskets of toys, from cars to barbies, to action figures! and there'd be a huge playground and field outside for recess! we'd have hopscotch, four-square, jungle gyms, swings, and so many slides... there's be pavement to color with chalk, bubbles to blow, tricycles and scooters to ride! and in the field, kiddos can play soccer and tag with one another <3

there'd be a community garden where our little helpers can pitch in and we'd grow all sorts of fruits, veggies, and plants! and at the end of each harvesting season, our leaflings will all get to take something home with them!

for the middles, they'd have their own room with game consoles, just dance, a computer lab, a craft station, and much more! we'd make super cool crafts like origami, mini plushies, bracelets, and more! there'd be a free library full of picture and chapter books to read, a cozy nature-themed reading corner with bean bags and a fake tree with animal hand puppets to play with!

little leaf daycare would be so amazing, don't you think?

Idk this still seems like something that could become ukraines Chernobyl

tw: mentions of neglect/abuse

carer with a traumatized age regressor they know they're helping to heal everytime they slip.

never received toys/were given very few toys as a kid? bubbas spoiling you in all the toys you want! if their kiddo is a little more shy and feeling guilty, they'll notice their little one eyeing a toy. "do you want it puppy? no need to feel bad, i just wanna give you everything you deserve"

went without food in public? carer will always order something for you, you never have to watch them eat while you have nothing. "oh honey I would never~ not only is that mean, but you gotta grow big and strong like me!"

went without food/snacks in private? your caregiver always makes sure they stock up on your favorite snacks and brands- no matter how specific they are. there's no shame in only eating a certain brand or flavor of chips. there's always groceries in the house and they're happy to cook for you, wanting to make sure you're safe AND fed. "are you hungy? I can get my sweetheart their favorite snack until the pastas done?"

had bad physical treatment? they would NEVER even THINK about laying a hand on you. if you misbehave or act up, they understand you're just in littlespace. like real kids, emotions can be hard and some moments arent good. sometimes kids like to test boundaries, there's nothing wrong with that. they won't let it slide and will issue lines, time outs, and stuff like early bedtime or shorter playtime- but nothing physical or mentally damaging. "angel I know you're all upset and shouting at bubba, but I need you to sit in the chair for 5 minutes. we don't yell."

missed out on a lot of childhood experiences? that's okay! your cg is soooo happy to integrate anything into their routine. whether it's storytime, going to the park, holiday celebrations, they're happy to accomodate! "oh you wanna have a bubba baby book read before your nap? of course little one!"

touch starved and wanting a lot of physical affection? they'll love on you SO much to try and make up for it! cuddles, pats, carries, boops, you got it! "awww does munchkin need a hug? cmere"

weren't treated the best emotionally? they understand how it can impact you. your carer always reminds you that you're not a burden, it wasn't your fault, and they truly do love you. they're not lying to you, they don't hate you, there's no maliciousness or ulterior motives- just pure love and care. "I know it was a lot, and I'm sorry you had to live through that angel- but I'm glad you're with me now. As long as I'm here, and as long as you'll let me- I won't let anyone treat you like that again. I pinky promise, my little love. Always, and forever."

Icl, this was very self indulgent to me- but I hope anyone who can sadly relate feels atleast a little bit of comfort and wholesomeness from this. I believe you. You're strong.

I did it toooo

looka this cute piccrew!! lets start a baby chain of ourselves :3

⭐tuck ins🌙

hey there little one! getting pretty late again, i think its time for bed, don't you?

when the blankets fall over you, slip over the sleepy eyes just begging to fall closed, you'll feel the world shift, spin and swirl; sheets rising to a castle of your own rule stitched together with spinning, shining strands of memory and laughter passed with the days sun now tucking away, tucking away as you too should be doing now. let the walls and spires tower and pillar above you as you give not a single stir in night passing time.

what is this? this place you now find yourself in?

this is the castle of dream's, little one, and this castle you rule in the fortress of sleep. this is the castle where anything can be.

so shut your eyes and milky moons light holds you in her arms, let the breese beyond shut curtains hum you the lullaby of natures tender touch, let it lull you sleep as spiraling stairs and towers rise and fold to knit together over your sleepy little head, let the sheets pull you under and pillows soften your fall as you slip away to this, yes, castle of dreams.

goodnight little one, sleep well in your castle, your castle of dreams.🌙

little ways for little ones to let out big emotions!

when you feel sad

⭐️suck a paci to soothe yourself

✨Hug as many stuffies as you need really close

🌙Let yourself cry, it’s a normal healthy respond

⭐️Listen to lullabies

✨Eat your comfort food

🌙Drink something warm (angel milk, hot cocoa or tea)

⭐️Swaddle yourself in soft blankets

✨Watch your favorite show

🌙 color

⭐️ take a bubble bath with toys :)

"The trannies should be able to piss in whatever toilet they want and change their bodies however they want. Why is it my business if some chick has a dick or a guy has a pie? I'm not a trannie or a fag so I don't care, just give 'em the medicine they need."

"This is an LGBT safe space. Of COURSE I fully support individuals who identify as transgender and their right to self-determination! I just think that transitioning is a very serious choice and should be heavily regulated. And there could be a lot of harm in exposing cis children to such topics, so we should be really careful about when it is appropriate to mention trans issues or have too much trans visibility."

One of the above statements is Problematic and the other is slightly annoying. If we disagree on which is which then working together for a better future is going to get really fucking difficult.
