sometimes i get super duper worried that my caregiver is uncomfortable with my regression , so i thought it’d be useful to caregivers / sitters / flips to have some tips on helping manage a self—conscious regressor !
— instead of simply reassuring them , treat them like a little / however they would like to be treated ! while reassurance can be helpful , in my opinion , actions are much more comforting
— in worse situations ( breakdowns / tantrums / etc. ) give them activities to do ! coloring pages are very nice for me , but if it’s something you can do in person together , i would recommend text—based tasks like having them tell you about their day , about their interests , anything really ! this might not seem like much , but being given little commands can help us feel very connected to being a regressor !
— similar to the previous one , give them a checklist ( this can work in person or over phone / text ) . this is a more general piece of advice , but it will help take their mind off of the worry and will help them feel accepted & taken care of !
— the most obvious one : talk about it with them . this is an easier thing to do when they are big ( not regressed ) , but having them explain , or try to explain , why they feel insecure can be very very helpful in your methods of reassuring them as well as taking some heaviness off of them ( talking does help ! )

The reason why CW! Wanda and Wandavision! Wanda feel like two different characters is because in most of the TV show we see Wanda pretending to be happy, pretending that none of the stuff from AoU and CW didn’t happened. She’s just pretending to live her perfect little sitcom home life fantasy. She IS ruthless. After all, she’s manipulating a whole town to do what she wants and she doesn’t give a single fuck about S.W.O.R.D. she only cares about living her perfect life, and she made very clear that if someone tries to stop her she gonna wipe ‘em out. But alas, Wanda is not evil at her core so she realized that having her happy ending, and a fake happy ending at that, at the cost of the suffering of the citizens of Westview was not worth it so she destroyed the hex.
Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better
my mom says she’s not a hugger. but when i put my arms around her on a gloomy day or after bad news she’s the last to let go. my dad says he doesn’t want gifts on his birthday, but i see the way his face light up when i get him a card with a nice message and a box full of chocolate anyway. he’s just a kid inside, still. it makes him giddy. my brother never says i love you. but when i tell him “i just need to finish the dishes before i vacuum!” he wordlessly goes to vacuum the entire house before i can, and if he sees me struggle with a wrapper or a jar or a bottle he mutters ‘c’mere’ and opens it for me without even sparing me a glance. the thing is, people love you quietly, and you love them quietly, and the air is buzzing with tiny but grand gestures & once you look for them, you find them everywhere. i think that’s really beautiful.
I know its been said before and it’ll be said again. But guys American high school is HARD. Its mentally taxing and emotionally and even physically. Heck I wake up feeling sick just from stress and anxiety. Something needs to change because this cannot be it. I shouldn't be doing 6 straight hours of work and waking up exhausted to go into FOUR assessments.
