Reasons I prefer to have an imaginary caregiver

low social battery - I struggle to respond to texts regularly and it wouldn't be fair to them if I was only coming to them when I'm regressed or need something from them

I struggle to make new connections - the easiest way I could probably get a caregiver is by finding someone online but I struggle a lot to build connections and start trusting new people so it's easier to stick with having a caregiver that stays in my mind

They're perfect - I love writing stories about them doing exactly what I need them to do for me and I couldn't expect an irl caregiver to perfectly predict my needs like that

They're always there - I don't have to worry about them being busy when I need them or too tired to help me through my struggles

There are other ways to find community within age regression - I love texting on agere discords, texting in a group chat is a lot less stressful and it allows me to still human connections without as much pressure

I don't have to worry about harmful relationships forming - another problem with finding a caregiver online is you don't really know who that person is. As someone who is 19 I'm slightly safer from this but I still don't want a caregiver who is secretly significantly older than me or who secretly is nsfw. And I have BPD so I don't want to accidentally become codependent with someone or hurt them by doing things like venting too much or not giving them enough space.

this isn't to knock irl caregivers but just saying imaginary caregivers can be fulfilling too :3

Also always remember that irl caregivers are real people. If you have a real life caregiver they won't be 'perfect' like an imaginary caregiver could be (always being there, always knowing what you need, not needing anything in return) and that's okay because they have a ton of their own strengths (being a person you get to learn about and grow close to, being able to physically do things with you, they aren't bound by your imagination)

*caregiver is helping the little take a bath* "hey bubba, be careful, you're gonna hurt your skin" "I needs to get clean" "You only have to scrub a little to get clean, now you're gonna start tearing your skin" "no! I'm not clean enough yet. I needs to be clean like the pwetty girls on TV" "oh bubba," *picks you up and holds you* "you're not dirty, you're african and there are very many pretty girls on TV that look like you" "mmm... but they're not cared about like the clean girls" "bubba, all of those girls are clean and so are you. And yes sometimes people care more about the white girls but you don't have to worry about that because you'll always have me to care about you" "okay, mama... why can not people just care about all of us?" "because sometimes the world is mean and that's very sad but I'm here to protect you"

'm bout to get bloodwork done and I know it's gonna be scary but sometimes they give me a juice box after so 'm gonna try to be brave and hopefully I get a juice box

WATER BEAR PLUSHIES

They're also called tardigrades or moss piglets and they're water animals that live ALL OVER the world and can survive extreme conditions like extreme temperatures, extreme pressures (both high and low), air deprivation, radiation, dehydration, and starvation and have survived being in OUTER SPACE

Here's a picture of some actual tardigrades under the cut but be warned they look a lil creepy crawly so if you don't like bugs you probably won't like them

Hey little one, yeah you! I know you’ve been putting in a lot of effort lately, and I’m proud of you!

It’s never a burden to take care of you or hear your problems!

I love the idea of almost all the council regressing and Mel has to try to wrangle them together while they're getting into arguments and throwing tantrums about other people not voting for their bills

Arcane Worksheets!

Here are some agere worksheet I made for arcane including a wordsearch and a couple matching exercises

Have fun! I'm working on some connect the dots and mazes rn so look out for those

Also feel free to reblog with your finished sheets or send them to me. I'd love to see them :3

I need a caregiver so badly. Like I think I'm doing pretty well taking care of myself but I just need someone to pick me up and give me a bottle and let me cry out and call them mama

I made myself a sticker chart :3

I give myself a sticker whenever I do something hard. My first sticker was for spending 8 hours figuring out these two really hard assignments

I think once I've filled it all up I'll get myself a treat like a happy meal or some calico critters
