Some of the Izaya Alternates as Caregivers!
Sakuraya would be a very calm and sensitive type of caregiver. His style is all natural, as he enjoys letting his little one play and explore in a tactile way. In that way, he might be the most parental of the alternates when it comes to caregiving. He is a kimono designer, and sometimes when he’s busy with work, he lets his regressor touch and feel the fabrics he works with, admiring the patterns and embroidery. Other times he’ll take them out to the garden to enjoy nature while he cares for his bonsai. He’s always so calm and collected, that just being around him has a soothing presence as if time slows down…
Hibiya is a very busy man with many appointments, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he’s neglectful as a caregiver. He would prefer to bring his little one along with him so he can keep a watchful eye on them while speaking with his clients. Afterwards, he leaps at the chance to spoil them rotten with a shopping trip full of gifts, toys, and outfits, stopping at every stall for snacks that catches his regressor’s fancy along the way…
Virus-138 isn’t quite as attuned to caregiving as the others, but shows he cares in more protective ways. He’ll go along with whatever his little one likes, and lacks direction in a more go-with-the-flow style. However, if there is even a hint of upset in his regressor, he is on them in an instant to protect them from whatever disrupted their happiness. A fight with another regressor? A feeling of anxiety from other adults around? He’s the first to act, removing his little one from the situation and even going toe-to-toe with the threat himself if necessary…
Izaya is like V138 in his lackadaisical approach to caregiving. He finds regression interesting as a form of coping, and he’s intrigued to see what his little one does on their own from moment to moment with little input from himself. However, as much as he loves the novelty, he gets easily frustrated at the actual care part of caregiving, especially when he’s busy with work. He isn’t intentionally neglectful, and does his best to meet his regressor halfway and handle their needs to the best of his ability, but sometimes a babysitter may be in order if he has a lot of clients on his hands that day…
Hachimenroppi might seem like the least suited for the job at first glance, and he struggles a lot when it comes to his depression and nihilistic views to take on caregiving in a direct way. However, that isn’t to say he doesn’t care for his little one in his own, very Roppi way. There’s just something about the innocence behind regression—a reset to zero, if you will—that touches his heart in a way that most humans can’t hope to achieve. So, he’ll let his regressor cuddle and nap with him, on depressed days where he can’t bring himself to get out of bed. He’ll watch and engage in the things they do in a passive way, and maybe, just maybe, he’ll feel a little more hope in the prospect of healing for himself, too…
Psyche is a very bubbly sort of caregiver that seems to feel more like a fellow regressor acting as an older sibling to his little one than anything else. He’s happy playing whatever childish games he might think of, and dragging his regressor along for the ride. However, he is very possessive, and doesn’t mesh well with the idea of sharing, preferring to be the one and only caregiver in his little one’s life. Even when it comes to his regressor playing with other regressors, he can easily get very jealous and it’s not long before he’s scooping them up for a cuddle session where he can have them all to himself again…
Let me know if there are other alternates you would like to hear headcanons for, or if you want to hear more about these alternates in particular!

I feel like Gojo would be an absolute spoiler as a CG, what do you think?
Tumblr media
Gojo Satoru CG headcanons!!🕶️
👁️ Gojo would 110% be a huge spoiler. He would buy you a lot of things and smother you in love!
🕶️He's not big on set rules, he likes to make them up as he goes along or just let you know when something isn't a good idea! "Woah woah woah kiddo, do we think that's a good idea? No? Then let's do somethin' else."
💙He really enjoys when you call him daddy/dada, it's healing for him just as your regression is healing for you, little one!
🌊Cooks for you every meal! Finds ways to even make things like sandwiches or breakfast super fancy and cute! He'd make you heart shaped pancakes and waffles, put smiley faces on your omlettes, and make kitty rice balls!

Could you do Angel Dust for all of the caregiver questions? It's so hard to choose!
~@polkadottedpie
(ask game: no more asks please!)
8) Are they a go with the flow cg or do they keep their little one on a routine?
Go with the flow! I don't think Angel is very capable of a routine, it doesn't jive with him.
9) How do they help them handle big emotions?
Cuddles!!! Blanket burritos! Also brings stuffed animals or Fat Nugget for hugs.
10) Favorite endearments to use?
Little stinker, doll, little fella, teasing nicknames like 'smartypants' if you correct him, kiddo, little bean
11) How did they figure out that they were a cg?
First time there was a kiddo in front of him, Angel was like 'oh I can do this' and it just stuck with him. He's good with kids!
12) Intuitive carer or the "let me look that up" carer?
Intuitive, but also if you ask him a question and he doesn't know the answer, he encourages that curiosity and he'll try to find out for you.
13) Favorite game to play with their little one?
He likes playing peek-a-boo with younger kids and also playing pretend, especially if he gets to be the damsel in distress.
14) Random Headcanon!
Gives the best hugs and is also very protective of his kiddos: will rip someone's head off if they're mean to you and that is not an expression :)

For the agere matchup please!
- looking for a caregiver
- little 4-6/big 26
- I don't really know what my FAVORITE thing to do is, because I end up feeling like I do a whole lot of nothing while regressed, but I'd like to be able to do activities and learn things. When I was an actual kid I liked to play school but always wanted to be the student, and I've always really liked history and archaeology!
- I'd like a caregiver that's more parental, that could provide gentle guidance/structure with routines and rules, because I need a lot of help with taking care of myself when I'm small
- no real age preferences, but I do lean towards male; for fandoms, I don't really wanna specify, but I'd maybe lean more towards animated sources like cartoons and anime?
- I'm learning Japanese, so sometimes I like to watch simple Japanese content because not fully understanding the language helps me feel small! I think it'd be nice to have a cg that speaks it for that purpose, but it's not at all required
Thank you so much!
~@polkadottedpie
Oh, I know that Toshinori from BNHA would love to help you learn Japanese! Because English is his second language, he makes a great teacher: he knows how the two of them go together!
He's very conscious of all the things you might need to take care of yourself, because his own disabilities mean that it takes a lot of day-to-day work to make sure he's also doing everything right, so it's easy for him to keep track of both of your routines.
Probably makes the cutest bento boxes when he has an excuse to
He's still a little nervous about being a teacher, so having a little one to practice lectures with would probably really help! He's teaching hero courses, of course, but he's also very interested in history and would love to share some of the stories he's read over the years.

Rare pare with ships? Nah nah nah, let me raise you one, rare pare but with regressors and caregivers.
Here me out...
I want more content with little's and caregivers who have little to no reason in canon to care about each other.
Perhaps a villain taking care of a regressed hero.
Characters who only ever interacted a few times in their media yet seem to have the best parent + child vibe to them.
Characters who clearly care about each other but in canon wouldn't be considered good "parental figures"
Characters who haven't interacted in a positive light canonically but it just makes sense that one would be a regressor and the other looks after them little
Characters who just don't make sense but it's a cute idea therefore it works.

"Hey, it's okay. You don't have to apologize for having a bad day. I know you've been dealing with a lot lately, and it's completely understandable to feel exhausted and overwhelmed. Just take your time, sweet pea. I'm here for you. Can I do anything to help? Maybe get you some water? I'll even run a bubble bath for you if you'd like. I hate seeing you like this, but I promise I'll do what I can to help you feel better, even if it's just holding your hand. you don't have to talk about it if it's too much right now, I'm happy to hold you instead."

CG!Gajeel Headcanons
Tumblr media
While there may be a lot of assumptions people make about Gajeel due to his generally abrasive nature or appearance, the last thing most people would guess is that he is a caregiver! Though to be fair it is something that he wouldn't have guessed about himself either, and certainly something he wouldn't have even wanted to do back when he was a member of Phantom Lord; back then he was all about looking out for himself. But Fairy Tail is a lot different, and the members are like a family—a family that continues to break down his walls and teaches him that it's okay to be gentle, that it isn't a weakness like he'd come to believe. That forming close relationships with others is something he can have without it being used against him. But he's still new at basic friendships, so naturally there's a few hiccups and misunderstandings when it comes to more complex ones that include things like regression! It's another one of those things that would have been seen as a weakness at his old guild, and so he's never really encountered it. Not until he notices one of his new guildmates goofing off...no, not their usual horseplay, but actual play with dolls and everything. Just when Gajeel thinks he's finally fitting in, a bit of friendly ribbing threatens to undo all of his progress when he teases them about being a little too old for kiddie toys. He doesn't understand why they look so upset and like they might cry as they run off, his attempts to tell them he was just joking around falling on deaf ears. It takes Makarov pulling him aside later and kindly explaining the situation and answering his question about regression that Gajeel realizes oh no, they are actually baby, you idiot.
From that point forward Gajeel makes it his personal mission to make sure nobody else messes with them, whether it be out of ignorance like he did or out of genuine meanness. As the rest of Fairy Tail seems to be in the know about their regression and regression in general, he asks around about what sorts of things they like, when they tend to be small, stuff like that. Because while he may already have decided he's protecting them, he's still got to apologize for his screw up! Though he's not so good with words—having an easier time expressing himself through his actions—he goes out and buys them a few gifts based on the suggestions he got and leaves them all neatly (or as neatly as Gajeel can manage) tucked in a basket for them to find later. Things like a couple of plush toys, their favorite sweets from the Magnolia Bakery, and even a more expensive looking little music box powered by the shiny lacrima embedded in the top. All of these prizes are nestled beneath a soft blanket folded up across the top, a dark navy with silver stars embroidered along the edges. There's no note indicating who left the gifts for them, nor does he make a point of bringing it up, but they know who left it for them regardless. And truly, moreso than the gifts themselves, it is the thought and effort that he put into getting them that lets them know that he means well. All the gifts clearly meant for someone a lot (physically) younger than them shows them that he's supportive, and may or may not result in them tagging along after him.
His personal mission quickly sees to him evolving into something more akin to a "protective big brother" figure for them. Not that he particularly minds the little squirt following him around, so long as he's not out on a job. Even he knows he can't play babysitter somewhere dangerous. But relaxing with them at the guild, watching them play...it's nice. Once both of them are comfortable enough with this new aspect of their dynamic he even has fun playing with them, helping to provide some extra ideas (not to mention voices) to their pretend play; taking an active part in such play, whether it be with dolls or acting things out themselves, is a big change when not too long ago he had teased them over doing the very same thing with somebody else filling the role of cg. Gajeel didn't think he had a creative bone in his body (not for playing pretend, at least) until he started getting down on their level with them in true big brother fashion. He's the demon king, he's the hero, he's the big bad dragon, he's the one who needs rescuing, he's whatever they need him to be in the moment—whatever part he's playing, he always commits to it with such sincerity that it makes them giggle because even they don't take their own game so seriously! Their bubba is sooo silly sometimes! Having him participate in their playtime is something that really is good for the both of them, apart from being a fun bonding experience—it provides a safe environment for them to grow as people, albeit in their own unique ways. (Plus, it doesn't hurt that by the end of playtime he tosses them over his shoulder and takes them inside for a snack.)
As revealed by Fairy Tail's talent show, Gajeel can play the guitar. While he didn't really see the overlap between acting as a cg and his...vast musical talent, it is soon brought to his attention by none other than his favorite little squirt that he can incorporate one into the other. He really should have figured out that they would be interested in listening to him practice by the way they were enamored with the music box he got for them. But Gajeel has that little box beat, because that thing can only play one song and he can play at least five! Maybe six, on a good day. What can he say? He's not only a budding cg, but a budding musician as well! That being said, he starts practicing a lot of new stuff geared more towards his little one. Acoustic versions of popular lullabies to help soothe them on those particularly rough days when their thoughts are being nasty-mean to them, or strumming out original melodies that they can then sing their own made up lyrics for (lyrics that he will later write down, so they can sing it together next time—although they are constantly changing words or adding new lyrics and poor Gajeel just can't keep up!). It becomes something of a common occurrence, at least three times a week, that they will run up to him and tug on his hand while eagerly demanding a song. And who is he to deny the kid of his musical genius? After a moment of their tugging not making him budge an inch, he relents and lets them drag him away. What's that? No, he isn't a pushover, the kid just has taste! So shut it!
For as protective as he can be, Gajeel is also incredibly sweet with them when he thinks nobody else is around to see him being such a big softie (he's got a reputation to keep, alright? Can't have people thinking Black Steel Gajeel has gone soft). He tends to follow them around like a lost puppy guard dog when he knows they are having a small day, making sure they have whatever it is their little heart desires. Even if the thing their little heart desires is that he kisses their scraped up palms to make the owwie from their big fall go away. It's something that Gajeel doesn't really see the point in doing, because it can't actually help, can it? He wouldn't know, he never had someone do that for him. But he begins to think there must be something more to it, otherwise why would they ask for it? Why else would it soothe their tears, or bring a shaky smile to their face? Maybe he has some kind of healing magic that he doesn't know about (and maybe he does it again later when someone else gets hurt because he thinks it'll help, which it sort of does if only for the fact that they're so shocked that Gajeel tried to kiss something better). Kissing boo-boos aside, the softer parts of his personality come out in more subtle ways, like how he practically carries them everywhere given the opportunity. Gajeel gives them piggyback rides all the time, so long as they don't pull on his hair. It's easier for him to mean-mug people that might otherwise give them a hard time when they're having a day out in Magnolia and the kid starts getting a little hyper. And even when he does happen to run into somebody from the guild while they're out, he's surprised that nobody ever says anything about it later.
Despite all of his progress, he still gets a bit confused by some regression stuff sometimes. But that's okay! He's still growing as a cg, but he's determined to be the best big brother he can be. And Gajeel is stubborn, so he will keep at it until he figures it out—or in some cases, goes to Makarov with his questions. Really in most cases, because when it comes to something important like this he isn't sure he should trust his instincts and brute-force his way through the current problem. Because how are you supposed to force your way through certain nighttime troubles resulting from some vicious nightmares? If it was him, he would just ignore it and pretend it didn't happen. But they can't do that, they're so small and scared and Gajeel...well, he fumbles it the first time it happens. His "reassurance" that they could forget about it, kid, it was just a dream, let's get you cleaned up and back to sleep sounds a lot more dismissive than anything else, and he knows almost immediately that he should have done something different based on the shift in their demeanor. So he goes to Makarov to get a guiding hand that'll help him figure out what he should have done—as it turns out he didn't do anything wrong per se, but it wasn't the sort of approach that they needed. Yes, he got them resituated in order to go back to sleep, but simply telling them the dream wasn't real and to ignore it doesn't work for them. They were looking for more comfort whereas he thought he was being comforting by reminding them it wasn't real. Again, nothing wrong with the approach, just a simple miscommunication that can feel like a big misunderstanding. Gajeel listens as Makarov tries to explain the idea of different comfort languages, and that perhaps theirs is being heard. Because he didn't ask what it was about the dream that upset them, just dismissed it as not being real when the dream felt very real to them. Keeping this advice in mind, Gajeel moves forward and is better prepared when the situation arises again—and handles it in a way that works for them this time!
By extension, if Gajeel is their cg then Pantherlily is also their cg. According to Lily, regression was more widely accepted back in Edolas and a pretty prevalent phenomenon amongst the Exceeds. So he's got a lot of background knowledge of regression and what to do going into things, and doesn't seem fazed at all by some of the things the squirt does. Gajeel is a little jealous at first by what a natural Lily seems to be at all of this when he himself has had to work so hard to get things right, until he realizes what this means: he can be a menace and by extension teach the kid how to be a menace. He no longer has to be the most responsible one! He can fully channel that chaotic older brother energy he was always meant to have! And while this can exasperate poor Lily at times, he isn't exactly angry about it enough to put a stop to Gajeel's shenanigans. Not when he already found his shenanigans endearing, and only find them to be moreso now that he has a tiny partner in crime. Most of the time having a tiny partner in crime actually minimizes the scale of the damage Gajeel usually would cause, so really it isn't such a bad thing that he's corrupting the kid. If anything, he's helping them come out of their shell by charging around with them on his back like they own the place. And Pantherlily would be lying if he said he didn't find the face they pull when he has to reprimand Gajeel too to be funny.
