✨ All About This Blog and Me ✨
👽 How does one become a cadet? (🚀)
To become a little space cadet all you have to do is follow! This blog is less so a community and more so just a fun blog for age regressors!
👽 Do you have a Do Not Interact/DNI? (🚀)
You’re in the clear! This blog technically doesn’t have a DNI because I don’t really have the time to check every single blog that interacts, nor do I really care. So, as long as you’re not a meanie, enjoy!
👽 Are you a caregiver who runs this blog? (🚀)
Nope, I’m a regressor and I have been for the past couple years! (my little age is usually 2 to 5, in case you were wondering 😊)
👽 Have you ever thought of making a discord for little space cadets? (🚀)
I’ve put a little bit of thought into it, but I don’t think I will. […] This blog technically doesn’t have a DNI! While everything I post is guaranteed to be sfw, I don’t monitor who interacts! So if I was to make a true little space cadets discord, I wouldn’t feel comfortable allowing both sfw and nsfw users to interact. Sorry about that! If I was to make a Discord, however - either personal or for this blog - I’ll be sure to let you guys know!
👽 Would you promo a blog/site/group chat? (🚀)
Aah, sorry, but I don’t really do that. I just don’t want this blog to be cluttered with promos, nor do I want to vet through the things, because, technically, this blog doesn’t have a DNI, meaning people with nsfw blogs are free to follow and interact. I wouldn’t want to expose sfw users to nsfw ones, so to be fair to everyone, no promos 😓 Sorry!
👽 Where do you do your drawings? (🚀)
All of my art is made using Paint Tool Sai! Sometimes I sketch things out in a notebook with a pencil, then I do the actual posted art on my laptop!
For my reward charts and cadet credits though, I used Google Drawings because I can get super straight and even lines there, as well as being able to add text! (for my coloring pages I have to draw in Sai, upload it to Google Docs to add text, save as .pdf, then export that .pdf to become a .png 😅 Multiple steps, yes, but it gets the job done!)
👽 Do you have a PO Box to send things to? (🚀)
A PO Box is out of my price range as of right now, but if that changes, I’ll be happy to share it here!
✨ All About Age Regression as a Label and Concept ✨
👽 I wanted to ask you how do I know of I’m an age regressor? (🚀)
Well, although this may not be the answer you wanted, there is no clear-cut way to know if you’re a regressor! As I’ve said before, the only person capable of labeling yourself is you! If you want to be a regressor, then you are! No requirements necessary!
However, I know that this isn’t really what you asked. While it may appear that regressors all regress the same way on social media, but that couldn’t be further from the truth!
Some regressors simply consume children’s media (whether that be watching movies or tv shows, listening to music, or looking at picture books) and they consider that to be regressing. Others listen to some soft music and daydream scenarios where others care for them and they consider that to be regressing. There are those that dress up in little clothes and hug their stuffies and they consider that to be regressing. Others play with kids toys and video games and they consider that to be regressing. And, of course, there are some that scroll through Tumblr and look at and reblog all the cute regression content and they consider that to be regressing.
There are all sorts of ways a little can regress, which means there are all kinds of age regressors! So, if you’d like to be an age regressor: Welcome aboard, cadet! 🌟
👽 Can I still label myself a age regressor, even if I have a lot of trouble regressing and rarely do? (🚀)
Of course you can! No two people regress in the exact same way, even if it appears so on social media. Some people may fully regress often, while others are only able to partially regress occasionally; either way, no one else except you has the power to label yourself. So, if you want to be labeled as an age regressor, go for it! You have my support and a place as a little space cadet! 😊❤🌟
👽 What’s the difference between age regression and age play? (🚀)
The main difference between age play and age regression is that one is actingand one is feeling. Age regression is when one feels young, and while they may be able to control their actions, their thoughts and feelings may reflect that of someone younger than their true age. Age play is when one just pretends/acts young, all while being completely in control of their feelings and actions.
You’re aware of your age, but you still feel little, and that’s age regression! While some individuals may completely become unaware of their age while regressed, not everyone does - like myself! So, even if you’re aware that you’re older, it’s because you feel younger that it’s age regression, not age play. 💜
👽 How do you know your little age? (🚀)
[…] It may help to look at the recommended age range of toys, shows, or movies you enjoy, or you can just think back to what little space things you enjoy, and what age those things are commonly associated with!
Also! It’s important to note that some littles don’t have a little age! Some littles suck on pacifiers while playing Mortal Kombat! Others watch Adult Swim while wearing their onesies! Some play with horror movie action figures!! They don’t have a set little age, but even if their interests don’t really align themselves with child-orientated things, they’re still littles! There are some littles that may have a set little age of 10, but they have pacifiers because it’s comforting!
In short, only you can determine your little age, if you even have one at all! If you feel that you’re a baby, then you’re a baby, simple as that! If you feel like you’re 6, but still like baby things, then you’re a 6 year old with babyish interests! If you just feel “little”, then you’re little!

👽 Is it somehow weird if I’m a little and a caregiver at the same time? (🚀)
You’re not weird at all! Many people are able to switch between being a caregiver and a little, so this isn’t abnormal at all! After reading this, it seems that you may fall between a little and caregiver, and may actually be a big sibling!
Older siblings typically help care for those that are younger than them, and may or may not have someone to care for them! Some share a caregiver with a “sibling” and others have their own caregiver! There are also some that don’t have a caregiver at all, as they are the primary “caregiver” for a little!
👽 I really love little space and want to regress, but I can’t. Is there something wrong with me? (🚀)
No, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you for being unable to regress. It’s completely normal to not be able to regress sometimes. You can’t really force it when this happens, and there’s not really a “fix” for it. The best you can do, that I find works for me, is to find something to watch that both “big” and “little” you enjoys, and you may find yourself somewhere near little space ✨
👽 Can I get some reassurance about my headspace? (🚀)
There isn’t anything wrong with regressing. All you have done is have found a safe way to de-stress and relax. Some people do things that are dangerous and harmful to themselves and those around them as they attempt to relax; that’s not what you’re doing. What you’re doing is something perfectly harmless, something that helps you feel safe! Feeling safe is a good thing!
Just try to remind yourself of what your little space means to you: being safe, comfortable, and happy. There’s nothing wrong with wanting those things, and there’s nothing wrong with you. The fact that you’ve found a way to be happy is a great thing!
Going back to your childhood, either as it was or as a way to make up for a lack of one, is perfectly normal. People play games that they had when they were younger because it makes them happy. People watch old episodes of their favorite shows because they remember how much joy it brought them. People color in coloring sheets because it was a way to block out the rest of the world and focus on a single, simple task. People own and cherish stuffed animals and toys that they have never stopped loving. While they may not go back to the extent that you do, they are still, in a way, regressing. Everyone regresses; some people only vaguely, and others, like you and me, a lot more deeply. There’s nothing wrong with this, and there’s nothing wrong with you.
Remember that you’re doing nothing wrong or harmful, that all you’re doing is something almost everyone does in different degrees, and that you are a great little space cadet! 💜
👽 Any tips for being half-regressed? (🚀)
One of the most important aspects of being half-regressed is that while you may still have the fuzzy feelings of little space dancing around your head, you can quickly shake them off to become Big if it’s required. This is especially useful if someone may require your assistance or if you’re doing a task that requires some degree of Big-ness!
So, if you’re seeking ways to stay in the place between little space and staying grounded, here’s some things you can do:

👽 Is it weird to refer to your little self in third person? (🚀)
I don’t think so! Many people refer to themselves casually in third person, such as talking about “past” or “future” them, so it’s not much of a stretch that you, and likely many others, refer to “little” them as a separate being. It makes sense, as there’s likely a pretty noticeable difference between big and little you, so I think that you’re fine :)
👽 I’m a trans little but I’m having trouble with my little age and expressing myself. I don’t want to be to feminine. Any advice? (🚀)
I would say that if you want a general idea of what is more “boy” than “girl”, look at what websites are selling for them! By checking out baby’s/kid’s clothing, bedding, gear, and toys, you’ll start to see some themes that you can incorporate into your little space. Boy stuff tend to have lots of blues and greens, with themes of dinosaurs, vehicles, superheroes, and robots. Getting something with those themes and colors can help, especially if it’s a clothing item!
(And, just as a side note, if you still like something that may be considered more “girly” than “boyish”, no sweat! […] Basically, if you’re in little space and drift toward feminine things, it doesn’t make you any less of a boy!)
But if the stereotypical “boy” stuff is too much for you, there’s a bunch of kid stuff that isn’t gendered! Primary colors, pastels, arts and crafts, most things really!
👽 I’ve been too depressed to get into headspace lately, or even out of my bed, and I’m not sure why. (🚀)
First, I would suggest trying to gather the strength needed to get out of bed. It can be hard, I know from experience, but once you’re out of it, you can begin to make some progress.
For me, I would first try to make sure to take a shower. If that’s too much, try to wash just your face. If even that is too much, take a wet wipe and try to get all the ick off as much as possible. Once I’m as clean as I can get, I start feeling a lot better, so hopefully you will too.
Changing locations can help, even if it’s just from your bed to your floor. Once there, try to do an active activity, such as reading, drawing, coloring, doing a puzzle, writing in a journal, anything that has nothing to do with your stressors. The goal here is to distract your mind and to try to break out of the depression routine.
Sometimes you have to take a small break from everything to just concentrate on self care, even if it’s just for 15 minutes. Personally, it can really make a difference, and is how I survived some really intense weeks when I was in high school.
👽 Do you ever have problems with bratty or grumpiness in little space? (🚀)
I think bouts of brattiness and grumpiness is normal for littles! Real kiddos feel the need to act up sometimes too! As long as you don’t hurt yourself or anyone around you, or break anything, I think that you’re fine.
👽 Can littles be pets too? (🚀)
I’m not personally a pet, but I’ve seen plenty of littles that are! So, yes!
It’s also important to note that I’m not you, and that only you have the power to label yourself! If you would like to be a pet, you can be! No confirmation is needed from anyone else!
✨ Things to do in Little Space ✨
👽 What’s a “little journal” ? (🚀)
A little/age regression journal is a journal that you can decorate and fill with stuff that helps you feel little!
Many littles decorate theirs with stickers, while others may just buy a notebook or journal with a cute cover.
It can be filled with all sorts of things! Some littles write profiles about themselves and their stuffies, others write about their day. Some fill their pages with drawings and print-outs, while others fill their pages with rules and reward charts. I know that some even fill out age regression ask memes and other fun questions in their journal!
In short, a little space journal is an easily accessible item that littles fill with stuff that helps them regress! If you decide to start one, you can find some things to put in it by searching “age regression journal” here on tumblr, or you can check out my original little “space” themed prompts on my blog!
👽 I was wondering if you have any advice for the younger littles? (like, baby-aged) (🚀)

👽 Do you have any suggestions for a cadet who has trouble getting into little space because of stress + sharing a room? (🚀)
Hello there! Sharing a room can make it tough to get into little space, but not impossible. If you can, I would recommend getting a bed canopy so you can get more privacy, but it’s okay if you’re unable to. You may have to only partially regress, so you’ll have an easier time landing and aging up, but you can still have plenty of fun!

But, it can be nice to have specific regression items if you’re able to get them!

👽 Do you happen to know how i could go about finding a caregiver? I’ve been regressing a lot lately and feel sad without one and i really need one to take care of me and give me rules (🚀)
Sorry, cadet, but I can’t help you there! I’ve never even dated before, so I don’t have a clue :/
However, as someone who has only ever regressed solo, there are some ways to give yourself structure! I, personally, use one of the reward charts that I’ve made! I like to work towards little rewards, like a chocolate egg w/ a toy, watching something i haven’t watched in a while, something from a dollar store, ect. You can also prep for little space beforehand by preparing everything, like snacks or setting up something to watch, while you’re big, so when you regress, you can just be little!
👽 Do you have any advice on “coming out” for littles? I still live with my family and I’m afraid to regress in fear of getting caught. I want them to know but I’m scared and don’t know what to say. (🚀),
Unfortunately, I don’t have any advice for “coming out of the toybox”, so to speak. However, I also live with my parents and sibling (although I am an adult), so I know how you might feel. Personally, I feel like they don’t need to explicitly know, but I understand why you might.
[…]
I guess what I’m trying to say is that while you don’t necessarily have to “come out” to your family, you can still enjoy “little” things. You may be able to simply express your interest in things that may be skirting the line of the “norm”, but overall if it’s just the way you are, a part of your identity, you should be fine ❤

👽 How can you tell your best friend you’re a little? (🚀)
I’m afraid that I can’t help you here. I haven’t told anyone that I’m a little, and I’m not really planning on doing so in the near future
If I was, I would probably explain what being little means to me, rather than just letting them search for the information themselves, in case they get the wrong idea. Explaining what you do may help, as long as you don’t dump her in the deep end (like, saying that you enjoy watching kids’ cartoons vs sucking on a paci). You could explain the easily palatable stuff, then explain everything else another time if she responds well.
👽 I’m in a relationship and I don’t know how to avoid relationship “things” when I’m feeling little. (🚀)
A good partner accepts any no, no explanation needed. If you don’t want to tell them that you’re little, that’s fine! You should be able to just tell them that you’re not in the mood, and they should be able to respect that 💜
👽 My relationship was broken off, any advice on how to feel better? (🚀)
I’ve never been in a relationship, so I’m probably not the best person to ask; however! Just know that you don’t need anyone but yourself to find happiness, and even though you may find yourself feeling down now that you’re alone, you will be okay. This time will pass and you will be happy again, with or without someone by your side 🌟
👽 I always get upset when I see posts about littles with their caregivers because I don’t have one and I feel left out. (🚀)
Well, I have good news for you: I don’t have a caregiver either! And, quite frankly, I’m happy with that! […]
Personally, when I’m browsing through Tumblr and see caregiver and little posts, I like to imagine myself and a fictional character! It’s fun because while I may not have a caregiver, in my imagination a bunch of fictional characters can fulfill that role!
Some specific posts I made that I think may help you are: my little space reminder #8, my how to regress alone post, and the illustrated guide/picture book that I made for it!
Just remember that you’re not truly alone, because so many other littles don’t have caregivers either! If you’re ever feeling little, just look through my posts for some fun advice and activities! They’re for everyone, including those that have caregivers, and those that don’t! Just know that you have a place as a little space cadet! 💜

👽 Do you have any tips on how to buy an adult pacifier/little gear online without others knowing? (🚀)
Please view Little Space Tip #11 for full details! Just use a birthday as an excuse if there are no upcoming holidays!
Additionally, you can order the little gear along with another, non-little item, so you can show that item if questioned. If you need an excuse as to why you’re opening it in your room/privately, make that item something like a pair of undies! It’s pretty understandable that you wouldn’t open a package of undies in front of others, but if pressed, easy to explain why you wouldn’t have wanted to do so.
👽 Do you have any suggestions for a cadet who has trouble getting into little space because of stress + sharing a room? (🚀)
Hello there! Sharing a room can make it tough to get into little space, but not impossible.

👽 Do you have advice for going off to college? I don’t know what to do with my little gear. (🚀)
I would suggest bringing everything with you in case your family decides to clean up your room when you’re gone. I would bring a nondescript suitcase, backpack, or duffel bag, put your little gear in it, and just shove it under your dorm’s bed for safe keeping.
If you want, you can also get a lock specifically for the little gear bag, just to ensure that it won’t be opened without your permission; then, you can decide to either leave it or take it, and rest easy knowing that only you have the ability to open it.

I’m very sorry you feel this way, cadet. It seems to me the best way to regress is to confront the problem. The best I can tell you is that little ones come in all shapes and sizes, and I believe that they’re all perfect the way they are - and that includes you! I understand if you might not believe me, and that’s okay. I just want you to know that I care for your health and safety so I hope that you’ll be feeling better in the near future.
