Mankind: 5. He's more often than not in a sort of little headspace when he's with Goldust, even if he's not fully regressed. 

Dean: 5, but he enjoys more “younger” kid things, like his pacifier. However he gets younger (about 3) if he's really really stressed out, or if he's had his body weight in sugar

Jey: 6. He definitely acts like he's older and he's the boss whenever he's with another little, except for Punk.

Jacob: 5. Not age related, but he only regresses around Solo like, 99.99999% of the time. Even if he wants to, he won't unless he's with his cousin.

Cody: 3-4, but he gets younger occasionally. Especially after Mania and his feud with Cena, he got to around 1, maybe 2

Punk: 8-9. He's like an older brother to any of the other littles. He's never gotten younger, he enjoys being sort of a big kid.

Penta: Like Punk, he's on the older side. He's around 9-10, and he does enjoy it. I also feel like his main (maybe only) caregiver would be his brother, and if it's been an extremely hectic week or so, he'll get a bit younger (think 7) only around Rey

Dom: He is a BABY. Exactly like Cody, he's around 3-4, but it's not uncommon for him to get younger, especially with the OG Judgment Day

Jd Mcdonagh: Around 6. In my perfect world where everyone is happy and no one hurts, he's still in the OG Judgment Day, and Dom is like his little brother. He's young, but still old enough to care for the baby

The Miz: He's in denial. He's 5, but he has fully and completely convinced himself that needing help with everything and being unable to fall asleep without a pacifier when his head gets fuzzy is 100% "normal adult man” behavior.

Roman: Roman INSISTS that he is older, like 8/9, but he's really around 4. He does a horrible job at convincing everyone that he's big, everyone knows he's little.

Bron: He doesn't really have an age when he's in his puppy-space, he just knows that he's young. He can't really take care of himself, he needs someone else to be there for him

Drew: He's 6. He's just there in the space where he'll argue that he's a big boy, but he LOVES being babied and cared for.

Dom is most definitely the baby of the JD, even when he's not regressed 

He has a collection of stuffed animals, but his favorite is a bat that Rhea got him, he carries it with him everywhere 

He'll only wear his caregiver(s) merch as pajamas, he'll throw a fit if he's in anything else

Somehow loves chicken tendies even more when he's little

Like, he cried happy tears the first time the JD made him dino nuggies

In my perfect, non-kayfabe world, Rey (Mysterio) knows. He was actually the first person to find out about Dom's regression, and he gave a shovel talk to the JD that was so aggressive Damian avoided him for a week

He loves spending time with his dad, and his dad absolutely loves getting to essentially be with his baby boy again

The JD figured it out because he had stopped calling Rhea mami for a few days, and they thought he suddenly hated them all or something. It was just making him feel really small, but he broke when Rhea came to him about it with tears in his eyes

Calls Damian papi. Damian cried the first time. It made Dom start crying. It was a whole thing

If JD is regressed with him too, he LOVES spending time with his older brother. He's clingy, constantly needing to hold onto the other's hand, and JD doesn't mind, he loves getting to spend time with the baby

It took Penta a while to realize he was even regressing, because anytime he felt like it, he'd just go find his brother and curl up with him

Felt really, really guilty for a bit because he didn't want his younger brother to have to take care of him like that

He's an older(ish) regressor, so he doesn't have really many “baby things”, but Rey (Fenix) once bought him a red stuffed dragon, and he treasures it more than anything

Got so excited after wrestlemania that he flung himself at Rey with so much force he knocked them both over, and it was the first time he called Rey papi

He REALLY likes arts and crafts when he's little, he'll spend hours sitting on the floor gluing random things together. Rey did have to take the glitter away though 

One of his favorite things to do is make one of his masks while little. He'll sit on the floor decorating it until it's just right, not even getting up when his legs are aching

A secret pleasure of his is that, he too, goes crazy for some dino nuggies. Doesn't obsess over getting chicken tenders liks Dom, but he can and will cry if he gets a plate of dino nuggies arranged all special

Sleeps with the dragon tucked against his chest, and he find it's nearly impossible for him to sleep while little unless he's on the phone with Rey, on resting his head on his chest to be able to feel his heartbeat

He jokingly got Rey a father's day card one year. Rey started sobbing, which in turn made Penta upset, so Rey had to calm him down. It, again, was a whole thing

Chapter Text

JIMMY:

He has to essentially beg Jey to go to bed if he's not tired, even going so far as to offer candy in exchange for him to just take a nap. However, if Jey wants to go to sleep but can't, Jimmy will wrap them up in the biggest blanket he can find and sing him lullabies that their parents would sing to them as kids, rocking him softly until he falls asleep.

SOLO:

Jacob sleeps curled up at the edge of the bed. It makes him feel the most safe, and the most like he's protecting Solo. However, if he can't sleep, he'll nuzzle against Solo's shoulder until he lays down, resting his face in the crook of Solo's neck. That's usually enough to help, but if it's not, Solo will tell him how much the family loves him until he falls asleep.

SETH:

Dean has a lot of energy, and it's difficult for him to calm down, even when he wants to. On more than one occasion Seth has brought him to the backyard and had him run around a bit so he could sleep. If that doesn't work, a glass of warm milk and honey will usually do the trick.

Roman needs to be held to go to sleep, and usually Dean and/or Bron go to sleep at the same time as Roman to help him. Even if he's being held but can't fall asleep, Seth will spend as long as it takes gently tracing over Roman's tattoo's with a pen. It works every time.

Bron really is like a puppy, so when he crashes, he crashes hard. It's very unusual for him to not be able to sleep, but when he does, Seth will hold him in his lap and gently scratch at his beard and scalp. The motion is extremely soothing to him, and he'll usually be asleep within moments.

SAMI:

He has an amazing singing voice, even if he denies it. He'll wrap Jey up in their blankets, and sing any lullaby he can think of in Arabic. He'll hold Jey's head to the bottom of his throat so that he can feel the vibrations from the singing.

ROMAN:

He's a holder, so if Dean can't sleep, he just wraps him up in his arms, makes sure that Dean has his pacifier and Mr. Quack, and squeezes as tightly as is comfortable. The pressure makes Dean doze off immediately, even when his insomnia is the most persistent.

He'll do the same thing for Bron if Seth isn't there/is otherwise occupied. He enjoys the motion, and the repetition honestly helps him sleep too.

RANDY/DUSTIN/BRANDI:

Cody, being the baby he is, absolutely loves naps. That being said, he gets extremely, EXTREMELY fussy when he's tired but can't fall asleep. Crying and blubbering and whining, the whole works. He'll even get snappy. The three of them have figured out the best way to get him to sleep in to give him his pacifier, tuck him into a blanket so tightly he can't escape, and put an episode of octonauts he's already watched on the tv. He's out like a light. If they don't have a tv though, Randy will hold him against his chest and rock him until he falls asleep. Dustin absolutely will lay next to him and dramatically tell his baby brother stories in his 'goldust voice', dramatic inhales included, and it makes Cody comfortable enough to sleep. Brandi will lay his head down in her lap and trace shapes on his scalp with her nails until he drifts off.

RHEA/FINN:

Dom needs bedtime stories. No matter where they are, what they're doing, he requires Rhea to snuggle up to him and pull out her phone to read him a story. If that doesn't work, usually a bottle of (very slightly) warm milk will send him to sleep. Finn will tell him the same stories, but in Irish, and tell him he can't understand what he's saying because he needs to sleep

JD very rarely has sleep issues, but if he does, he just curls up with Finn. He'll have Finn talk about his next upcoming match, explaining everything in excruciating detail, until it sends JD right to sleep

Chapter Text

BRON:

His rope chew toy that he bought. It's the only item he's ever bought for himself, and he bought it before he even knew what his regression was. Chewing on it brings him peace, his favorite thing in the world is to sit in someone's lap (Usually Seth's) and just chew away. It's one of those small dog tug-of-war toys he got from a petco near him, and he brings it everywhere.

CODY:

Cody's is the custom pacifier he got from Brandi and Randy on his birthday. It's a blue and white one, with beads spelling out 'nightmare' on the handle. He cried for an over when he got it, and he can spend just as long tracing over it. Even when he's not little, having it in his pocket brings him comfort. He needs it with him at all times if he is little though, even if he's not using it, he'll throw a fit if it's not near him.

DEAN:

Mr. Quack. Listen, Dean does not like ducks. They are annoying and loud and weird, he just doesn't like them. However his stuffed duck means the world to him. It's a cheap fluffy thing that Roman bought at a rest stop, and he's practically never let it out of his sight since. He can't sleep without it when he's little, it helps calm him down. Even when he's big, if he's being self destructive, one of his CGs will hand him Mr. Quack because he loves it too much to hurt it.

DOM:

Dom's is chicken tendies. The way to his heart is through getting him some nuggies and calling it a day. Joking lol.

His actual favorite thing is a Judgement Day merch hoodie he stole from Damian. He stole it before they found out about his regression, he would curl up in it and pretend he was being held. Now that they know, he wears it constantly, only giving it to someone else either to wash it, or so that they can wear it so it can smell like them.

DREW:

His action figures. He will not let anyone else call them dolls or toys, even though he absolutely refers to them as that when he's little. He loves his collection, and he'll spend hours organizing it if given the chance. He has very detailed stories and intense lore for everyone, even if it has nothing to do with the actual figure. The CM Punk figures however, somehow always end up in some sort of danger, needing to be saved. No idea why though.

JACOB:

Jacob's favorite thing is Solo.

Seriously though, Solo bought him one of those necklace things that you can chew on. It's black with a red wolf paw print on it, and Jacob LOVES it. The feeling of chewing on it is so comforting, he can just sit and lean on Solo for hours. Solo bought it for him when he tried to give Jacob a pacifier and he had completely torn up the plastic nipple within 15 minutes.

JEY:

His stickers. He has a whole collection. Disney, shapes, animals, cartoons, random blobs, animals, you name it, he has it. His CGs are experts at removing stickers from anything and everything, because the moment they turn their back, he's covering something with stickers. His favorite thing is to wait till Jimmy or Sami are sleeping, and cover the men's faces with stickers, giggling silently.

JD:

JD has a blanket with the logo of Finn's wrestling school on it. It's super soft, and for some reason, about 10x the size of a normal blanket. He loves being swaddled in it and cuddled by his CGs and Dom. The only thing that makes it better is if Finn is swaddled in the blanket with him.

PENTA:

His stuffed dragons. Fuego is very loved, and he brings him almost everywhere. He's very loved, but Penta doesn't need him to be comfortable per say, he just likes him. His other dragon, the one named after Fenix however, gets king treatment. It has a special spot on a shelf, a specific spot on the bed, and it is always handled very, very gently. He'll even hold up pieces of his food/his cup to its mouth when (the human) Fenix isn't looking.

PUNK:

His stuffed moose and stuffed bear. AJ bought him the moose, and it was his first official “little” gift. He was attached to it like velcro for a week straight, and AJ had to actually pry it out of his hands when he spilt syrup on it. Drew bought him the bear, and it was also his first official “little” gift from the man. He views the stuffies as proof that they love him no matter what, that they support him in everything.

ROMAM:

His pacifier and his weighted blanket. Everyone is aware of the blanket, he brings that thing everywhere. Everyone knows that if Roman wants to cuddle with them, they better be prepared to have the weight of 1000 sounds on them too. It's almost like being held, and it's even better if he has the blanket and it being held. The pacifier is something he won't admit though. He can't actually really sleep without it, but he'll deny it up and down. Even though he doesn't think less of anyone else for having one, he fears that it'll make his CGs think he's weak.

Chapter Text

As previously stated, he's VERY big on physical affection. Hand holding, holding their shoulder, their waist, anything to be close to his baby. If whoever he's looking after takes naps, he will absolutely spoon them, taking a nap too. 

He absolutely knows how to braid hair like a pro. It doesn't matter what texture of hair it's on, he can and will make the most intricate designs if given the chance. He especially likes it because it makes him feel closer to his baby, and the repetition is calming for him and his little.

He's an…..ok cook. He can cook basic meals, and he could follow a recipe book to produce a decent dish if his baby wants, but it takes a lot of focus. He's much more likely to have someone else cook, or if the puppy eyes are pulled out, he'll order (somewhat healthy) fast food.

His favorite nickname to use is “his little flower”. That, and/or “his little tribal chief” if he's feeling funny. The nickname isn't necessarily feminine, he just means it as something to take care of, something to love and coddle, like how he views his baby.

He'll let his baby color in his tattoos. Even though it's not something to “technically” color in, He'll let them take rainbow markers in between the lines and everything, he'll sit very silently and just let them color away.

He has a baby bag with all of his little's stuff in it. Pacifier, blanket, stuffed animal, any basic things they would need. It's always either in his closet, in a hotel room's closet, in the trunk of his car, or stuffed in his locker room. He needs to be prepared at all times

This man MATCHES. Any oufit that isn't pajamas, he'll try his hardest to be in an oufit that looks somewhat similar. When it comes to pajamas, he will try to dress his baby in his merch. 

“I promise it's a totally normal pajama shirt this time.” And he hands them an oversized ‘Head of the Table’ shirt.

Chapter Text

Not the world's biggest cuddler, but he won't complain if his baby wants to be held. He is a master at swaddling someone in a blanket and just scooping them up to carry them around.

He's an okay cook, but better than some people (cough cough Roman) However he is an AMAZING baker. He loves spending hours and hours in the kitchen with his baby, teaching them how to properly measure, combine, etc. However, only he is allowed to touch the oven.

If it's bedtime/naptime and his baby won't sleep, he will lay with them and tell them bedtime stories to get them tired. However, if his baby doesn't speak Irish, he will tell the stories in Irish and say that they don't understand because they need to sleep. He does this a lot, especially to Dom.

He has probably the world's largest collection of coloring books and crayons. Any theme- dinosaurs, disney, hello kitty, marvel, other trademarked brandsTM, he has it all. He has them very, very organized, and he knows which little prefers which one. JD has his own crayon box though because he grips them so tight they break.

If his baby likes it, he 1000% plays into the Demon role. He knows that it can be scary, especially for little ones, so he's really careful about it, but he will use Demon Balor instead of something like “the tickle monster”. He gets a kick out of it too, he secretly loves dressing up for it.

Speaking of which. Goes ALL out for Halloween. Like, every inch of his house is orange, and every single outfit he dresses his baby in for the entire month of October is going to have some form of Halloween theme. He'll sit and spend hours carving pumpkins with them, designing costumes, making decorations. (One year JD asked to go as Demon Balor. Finn happy cried for an hour in the bathroom before he said yes)

Chapter Text

DEAN:

He doesn't really ‘work out’ so to say. Taking him to a gym while he's regressed wouldn't really be a good idea. However, he LOVES running around in the backyard, having Seth watch him. If Seth or Roman are working out at home, he'll sit on the floor and babble excitedly about anything he can think of. He can be convinced to do a few push ups though if one of them says they don't think he can do more than them

ROMAN:

He pretends not to be, but he's really too little to properly work out. He'll swear up and down that he can follow Seth's routine, but he'll get distracted so easily. It's a lot for his tiny brain, and trying to keep up with Seth can get overwhelming at times. Usually he'll just leave and find another one of his boys to curl up with, but if he does get overwhelmed, Seth will find his weighted blanket and wrap him in it, rocking him until he's calm.

BRON:

Kinda like Roman, following a routine or doing certain things can be too much for a puppy, and he'll just sit and watch the Shield work out. Seth will have him run around the backyard (maybe even trying to run on all fours) with Dean as a way to “work out”. He will however use Dean or Roman as weights when they're regressed, just to make them giggle.

JACOB:

If he's with someone very, very patient (So, Solo) he will try his hardest to copy him. He'll be a bit sloppy, and isn't able to handle as much weight as he usually is, but he wants to make Solo proud. He'll follow along with whatever it is that Solo's doing, even if it isn't what he would usually do.

DOM:

He's too baby to work out. Either the Judgment Day has to take turns working out so someone can watch him, or they'll call Rey in to babysit him while they go to a gym. He loves to sit in a corner and watch them, babbling away, but he loves ‘working out' with his dad even more. He'll lay across Rey's back as he does push ups, squealing with delight the whole time. Plus, Rey can be very easily convinced to give him a sweet treat afterwards.

JD:

He's actually very good at working out while little, for the first half an hour. He'll be very careful and calm, listening to everyone and following his own routine. However, once he gets bored, he starts fiddling with the equipment the rest of the Judgment Day are using. It gets to a point where they'll either have to give him someone's phone with a cartoon on it, or send someone home with him.

PENTA: Actually really enjoys working out with Fenix while little. He enjoys it while big too, but there's something about the extra care that's there that he loves. He'll follow Fenix's routine the best that he can, listening to his every word. Occasionally Fenix will have Penta pick what they do, and he spends the whole time giggling with joy.

JEY:

Cannot be convinced to go anywhere near a gym while little, unless threatened with no waffle house. That's only used if they have no babysitter for him though. He will quite literally lay down, starfished on the floor. If his CG tells him to do something, he'll lightly lift his legs and say he's exercising. However, if Sami asks really nicely, he can be convinced to lift a (light) weight, he does it to show off for Sami.

PUNK:

Nothing brings him more joy than being with Drew or AJ. If either of them are working out at home, he'll very nicely ask if he can join them. He can't 100% keep up with them, but they'll usually go a bit more gentle, and he loves it. He won't go to a gym or anything while little, even with one of them, but he will happily sit in the car. AC on and his phone playing his favorite show of course.

DREW:

Kinda like Punk, he really won't choose to go to a gym while little, but he does occasionally join Punk or AJ. He will sit in the same room with them if they're home, playing with his action figures (dolls) and pretending he's working out that way.

CODY:

Literally just a baby. You will not catch him doing anything that sorta looks like exercise unless Randy or Brandi is there. Even then, it's him having them lift him up, or sitting/laying on Randy's back. He loves it when either of them pick him up and hold him, and the first time Randy held him bridal style and started to curl him, Cody laughed out of pure delight so hard he cried.

Chapter Text

Look. You've seen it. I've seen it. We all know it's happened. Rhea is a meanece when it comes to Labubus while little. She has a collection, and she will very lovingly call them her dolls. Her favorite is one that looks like Damian that they were given by a fan. They all have names and a lot of them have stories. Damian is expected to know each and everyone of their backstories. She tests him on it.

She's stealing his clothes. Without a doubt, every hoodie and sweatpants he owns is ending up in her dresser at one point or another. What's his is hers, and she won't hear otherwise.

She still absolutely loves the whole goth/alternative style while little, and Damian loves it just as much. All of her blankets and toys and stuffies are all black or purple or skulls.

She is the kind of little to absolutely ADORE horror movies while regressed. She will beg Damian to let her watch them, and they'll make movie nights out of it. However any of the terrifier movies are a big no no while she's little.

She doesn't tend to regress too often, and usually not around the other members of Judgment Day. It's nothing against them, she loves and trusts them just as much, it just happens to be only around Damian like 90% of the time.

She loves to give him makeovers. She has cheap makeup for when she's little that she'll sit and apply to his face for as long as he lets her, trying to make him pretty like her. She'll also take markers to his tattoos to make them colorful.

If you think she liked matching before, it gets 10x better, or worse, when she's little. Depending on what shirt Damian's wearing, she has to wear either the same one, or something REALLY close to it/from the same franchise.

Mami knows best, even while little. It takes a lot of convincing (pleading and bargaining) to stop her from doing what she's set her mind to. Usually Damian just sighs and lets her do it, watching carefully, but one time she was determined to climb onto the roof and he had to bargain cuddle time with baby Dom to get her to not do that.

She's not really old enough to handle cooking all by herself, and usually she'll sit on the counter while Damian cooks, and just watch him. However the entire time she does so, she judges him and makes teasing comments about the way he cooks, all while giggling.

He has to hide his weapon collection or firmly lock every door that she could possibly get into, or else she WILL pull a knife off the wall because “it's really shiny and cool papi” She had no sense of danger and he nearly had a panic attack.

Chapter Text

CG:

He is most definitely a cuddler. He'll hold his baby constantly, carry them around in his arms, giving them a piggy back ride. Really any form of physical contact, he absolutely adores.

The arts and crafts love is still there when he's big, and he'll spend hours helping his baby with whatever they're doing. He'll organize all of their art supplies so that it's little brain friendly, and he'll sit next to them or behind them the whole time, always praising their artwork.

He is also big on matching with the merch!!! If his baby wants him to dress them, he will absolutely dress them in his shirts and sweaters, you name it. He'll also be more than happy to share his personal clothes with his baby, he loves nothing more than seeing them in one of his own hoodies.

He takes the mask off around his baby. It definitely takes a lot of trust on his part, but he loves his baby more than anything on this earth. (Maybe except Fenix, they're equal) He'll sometimes wear it as a costume thing, to make them giggle.

Hand decorates sippy cups and pacifiers if his baby uses them. He'll either fully glam them out to match with his masks, or something that his baby really likes, like a cartoon or certain anesthetic. He is very skilled at Rhinestones while big, surprisingly.

Will buy any and every toy his baby wants. They've had to have talks while both big because he will just drop money the moment he can. He just wants his baby to feel loved, and like he's doing everything he can for them.

LITTLE:

He is MUCH more of a cuddler with someone when he's little. You wouldn't think it's possible, but he's literally glued to his CG at all times. Like, to a concerning point. He will stand in the hallway while they're in the bathroom, pouting.

He has exactly one (☝️) ‘traditional’ little thing, other than his stuffies, and that's a red sippy cup that has dragons on it. Even though he's technically past the age to need to use them, he just likes the feeling.

Listen, this man loves dragons, ok? Like, LOVES dragons. Any clothes he has that have dragons on them? He's wearing it at any possible moment while little. Anything that has a dragon on it catches his eye. He has a winter blanket with a giant dragon on it that he loves to be wrapped in while little.

He shouldn't really be alone with the stove, but he can still cook, and he does well. Nothing like how he cooks while big, but he's GOOD. He loves making Rey/his CG(s) breakfast or little snacks, it makes him feel like he's thanking them for taking care of him.

Doesn't really care for toys. He has his stuffies and sippy, and that's all he really needs little wise. He's more than content to do something outside, go to a park, a restaurant, an arcade, something like that. Even while resting at home, he'll choose to either work on his art, watch a show, or cuddle with his CG(s)

Takes naps! He'll say, once or twice, that he's big enough so he doesn't need a nap, but if Fenix even so much as yawns around him, he's snuggling up to him and holding him till they're both asleep. As long as Fenix is there, he can definitely be convinced to take a nap, especially if they've just been to a park.

Chapter Text

BRON:

He doesn't have a specific activity he enjoys more than the others. He likes swimming and the beach and fairs, but he much prefers just getting to spend time with his boys. If he could, he'd spend all day laying in the grass in their backyard, resting in the sun and playing with his toys. It's even better when one of them hoses him down, spraying him with water to cool him off. He absolutely will snap at the water stream, it's a dog thing.

CODY:

Pool days. Nothing fancy, like a gathering or anything, just sitting in the pool. He likes swimming laps, showing off for his CGs while giggling. He loves it when Randy lets him hold onto his back while the other man wades around, he'll wiggle out of excitement the entire time. He demands to be the one to put sunscreen on Brandi and Randy, because he's a big enough boy to help too. (He's not. They have to quickly slather each other when he's not looking or else they will burn)

DEAN:

Carnivals/Fairs. The pop up kind with the sketchy rides and even sketchier food booths. He loves the atmosphere, both while big and little. He'll drag his boys on every ride, laughing the entire time while Seth nearly cries. He will also absolutely try weird food, like fried butter because “fair days are cheat days”. He made Roman ride one of those slingshot rides, they both lost their voices screaming.

DOM:

Going to the beach! Especially one where he and the rest of the Judgment Day can set up canopies and spend the whole day there. He loves the sun, the water, collecting shells, he just loves everything. No matter where he is, the beach reminds him of home, of love. However, his CGs have to literally chase him around to put sunscreen on him, or else he will BURN. He just doesn't think of it, so Damian or Finn have to set a timer on their phones for it.

DREW AND PUNK:

Punk and AJ have one of those at-home projector things, and they'll set it up in their backyard when it's cool enough. They'll have smores and hotdogs, usually roasted over a fire. If Drew and Punk aren't little, they'll watch horror movies way past midnight, teasing each other for getting scared. If one of them/both of them are, AJ will find some family friendly movie to put on, helping them with their marshmallows. Drew prefers them completely burnt, so AJ has to practically hover next to him or else he will light something on fire. Punk is old enough to handle it with some supervision, but not as much as Drew needs. They both love this more than anything, just getting to spend time with each other and the woman that they love, and Larry of course, they wouldn't trade it for anything.

JACOB:

Anything with his family, really. He especially loves camping with Solo, his little wolf brain loving getting to be in the outdoors for so long. He really loves it if it's just him and his family that knows, because then he can spend the whole time pretty much non-verbal, eating with his hands, demanding cuddles and behind the ear scratches from everyone. His favorite part is having someone lay a blanket down near the fire, and he'll curl up on it, falling asleep to the soft sounds of his family chattering.

JEY:

Family barbecues. They happen year round, but they're more exciting in the summer. Everyone he loves in one place, eating his family's food, spending time in the pool, there's nothing not to love. He'll spend the whole time glued to someone's side, the person will change, but he'll always be next to someone. He loves getting to play with the kids, water balloon fights are his favorite, because he gets to be little and no one thinks he's acting weird, just that he's having fun.

JD:

He enjoys beach days almost as much as Dom, but they're not his absolute favorite. He prefers spending time at home with everyone, just laying around doing nothing. When it gets too hot, he and Dom will join forces to convince the others to have a water balloon fight, or really just spray each other with a hose. Finn is always the last to join, saying “he doesn't want to get splashed” before inevitably JD dumps a balloon on him or Damian practically waterboards him with the hose spray.

MANKIND:

Not actually a summer activity, more of a tradition. Every June 25th, he and Goldust have a mini “Half-Christmas party”. They make summer cookies (Pineapples, beach balls, surf boards) to decorate, and they give each other just a few small gifts. Most of the time they go to a less crowded beach, bringing their cookies and drinks. Goldust doesn't actually get in the water, she doesn't want to ruin her makeup, and Mankind just gets waist deep, but they both love it.

PENTA:

Road trips. This is also a year round thing, but the ones that happen in the summer tend to be more relaxed, and he can spend more time with his brother. He loves sitting in the passenger seat with a map, it makes him feel really important. He'll make little snacks for the ride, making sure Fenix has all of his favorite things. When he's feeling a bit younger, he'll either curl up in the passenger seat or across the backseat, Fuego clutched to his chest, as he babbles about ninjas and dragons to Fenix. If he's tired, the sound of Fenix softly singing along to the radio is enough comfort to lure him to sleep.

ROMAN:

Sort of like Jey, his favorite thing is barbecues. However, he prefers it to be just his boys and his cousins, his whole family can get overwhelming for him while little. He'll stand next to Jimmy as he grills, clutching onto his arm the whole time. Like Jey, he too will always be holding onto someone at any given time. He'll curl up with Bron on the floor, or lay in Seth's lap, head against his chest. Sami once bought them those chalk crayons, and the littles spent hours drawing on the concrete while the others watched fondly. Roman's was more scribbles than drawings, but his boys still praise him like he's the next Picasso.

Chapter Text

Jey spent the whole conversation explaining what exactly his regression was shaking out of fear, Jimmy essentially just went “could be weirder” and that was that. Jimmy loves his little brother, no matter how little he actually is.

Jimmy LOVES getting to remind Jey that he's the older one, it's his favorite thing to tease him about. However, Jey actually kinda likes the reminder when he's little, it makes him feel smaller.

He wouldn't actually, but if Jey is ever acting out and won't listen to him, Jimmy absolutely will threaten to call their dad to reprimand him. It works every time.

Naomi had to set a spending limit for Jimmy everytime he goes to the store, because he kept buying all the Lego sets he thought Jey would like. And those prices add up.

Speaking of Naomi, Jey adores her no matter what, but he absolutely loves his “Nomi” when he's little. Jimmy pretends to be jealous about it, but really he loves the fact that Jey feels so safe around them. 

Jey definitely is a Disney kid, and Jimmy enjoys their movie nights just as much. However ☝️, Moana is no longer allowed to be watched. The first (and only) time they watched it while Jey was little, Jimmy really excitedly told him that Maui was their cousin. Jey immediately started crying and no one could get him to calm down, so Moana is a no no.

Jey says he's a big boy, but if Jimmy doesn't bring his stuffed turtle with them every time they leave the house/hotel, Jey will throw a fit. It's become a normal part of Jimmy's routine, Shoes, Car keys, stuffed turtle, phone, etc.

Jimmy keeps a box of fruit gummies in every car he uses. His own, plus the moment they get a rental, he's putting a full costco sized box in the glovebox. Jey LOVES them, and any other little knows that Jimmy's safe to come up to to ask for snacks.

Jey has a horrible attention span while he's little. He constantly needs to be reminded about things, be told or shown something over and over, but Jimmy doesn't mind. However, Jey can sit for hours and hours building Legos, as long as Jimmy is sitting there next to him, talking about anything he can think of.

AJ/DREW: 

Punk rarely gets cranky. It takes a whole lot of stress and him being very sleep deprived to make the man that upset. He usually just needs someone to hold him in their lap for him to calm down. He's only ever thrown a fit once, and it was about him not wanting to go to bed because he was drawing. AJ ended up making him sit in the corner for a bit, but her and Drew had to stand in the room the whole time so he didn't freak out. He'll complain, but a stern look from either of them is enough to make him listen.

Drew is….kind of scared of AJ, to be honest. She's got the mom glare perfected, and it works like a charm. It's only ever gotten to the point where she made him stand in a corner once, and he's never done it again.

DUSTIN/BRANDI/RANDY:

Cody will whine in complaint here and there, but he's not prone to fits. He'll really only get upset when he's not feeling well, and some cuddling is sure to fix that. If he ever does get cranky about something, usually around bedtime, Brandi will do whatever she was trying to do to Cody's fox. Whether it be brushing his teeth/changing into pajamas/getting tucked in, she'll mime it out with the fox, and it'll calm Cody down because he doesn't want to be left out. Dustin uses his Goldust mannerisms (safe for children ones, of course) and style of speaking, because it's what Cody grew up associating his brother with, so it calms him down. Randy simply just picks him up and holds him against his chest until he calms down, swaying them back and forth, rubbing circles into Cody's back, and it's like magic. 

FENIX:

Penta would actually cry if he made his brother upset, so he tends not to be too fussy about anything, really. Plus, he's a lot better at handling his emotions while little than some other people, so when he gets too upset, he goes and hugs Fenix the Dragon until he's calm. The rare occasion he would be cranky is if he got separated from Fenix for any reason, he doesn't like it while big, and he HATES it while little.

JIMMY:

Jey is easy to distract. He'll whine and complain about a lot of things, a sticker sheet being bent, it being too hot, too cold, he doesn't want to take a bath, etc. But all Jimmy has to do is switch the topic for a bit, and he'll be fine, usually they talk about Legos. A lot of his complaints are solved just by Jimmy talking things out with him, but if Jey's really throwing a tantrum, Jimmy will silently open their dad's contact on his phone and just show the screen to Jey. It works on calming him down everytime.

PUNK:

Drew gets cranky when he has to put away his dolls. It'd take something really important, like a special event, for him to not at all complain. He loves making up his little stories, and he hates being interrupted. He doesn't tend to throw an actual fit about it though, usually Punk will threaten Drew with no kisses or cuddles and that does the trick. If Punk is with any other little, he'll just use his big brother voice on them and it works. He's like a little whisperer.

RHEA/FINN/DAMIAN

Dom gets CRANKY, at even the simplest of things. He is easy to calm down though, usually. A kiss to the forehead and some gentle words will get him to cooperate almost always. Rhea will scoop him up and hold him, being close to her help. If not, they have to threaten him with no chicken tendies. That tends to work, however, they've had one or two instances where he just won't calm down, and they have to call in the big guns. Meaning Damian has to desperately call Rey, because he likes him the most, for some reason.

JD is just as likely to throw fits, but SO much easier to calm down. Just saying his name will get him to behave. If he's really in a mood though, gently scolding him helps. Finn will, very rarely, threaten that Demon Balor will find him if he doesn't listen. He's joking, of course, and he's so gentle that JD doesn't take it seriously, but he's still a little afraid so he listens. Finn is not allowed to tell Dom that though, because it made Dom cry so hard he hyperventilated and didn't let Finn cuddle him for the rest of the day.

ROMAN/SETH/BRON/DEAN:

Dean tends to get destructive towards himself if he's cranky, and Roman will just hold him against his chest until he calms down. Seth will hold his hands, letting Dean play with his fingers to distract himself. If he's really cranky, they'll literally throw Mr. Quack at him. It gives him something else to focus on, something he doesn't want to hurt. Bron will lay on top of Dean, and it works every time.

Roman throws stuff when he gets upset, but really only clothes/pillows. It's easy to tell when he's getting to that point, because it's honestly really rare. Even if things don't go his way, he's more than content to just lay in someone's arms and whine for a bit. He will throw fits when it comes to his pacifier, especially in the earlier days of anyone knowing. He doesn't want to be seen as a baby, even though he is, and it takes a lot of reassurance, and usually Dean pulling out his own paci even if he's big, to make Roman calm about it.

Seth doesn't really get cranky, and if he does, they'll just have him scream into a pillow. Literally. Works every time.

Bron is very semi-verbal when he's regressed, so him being cranky is just him flopping on the floor and barking angrily, Dean thinks it's the world's funniest sight. If he won't listen to them about something, one of them, usually Seth, will throw his chew toy at him, and that usually gets him to calm down. If he absolutely is refusing to do something, Roman will usually carry him to the backyard and just plop him down on the grass, and go back inside. It gets Bron to calm down, and he can run around a bit if needed. 

SAMI:

Sami deserves a medal for being the world's most patient man. He'll sit, silently, through any of Jey's tantrums, and just go “Are you feeling better now?” at the end. Usually a talking to is all Jey really needs, and Sami will sit on the floor and calmly explain why Jey needs to do what he's being told to do. He doesn't have Rikishi's phone number (he's a bit scared of that man) but he has threatened to ask Jimmy for it, and that works just as well.

SOLO:

Jacob will really only get cranky if he's super tired, or away from his family for too long. He just huffs and lays on the floor when he's tired, but the only thing he hates more than being tired is upsetting Solo, so he does whatever he's asked just with some light coaxing. However, if he's not with a family member for whatever reason while he's regressed, if he throws a fit, he's not listening to anyone unless they call his family. He'll lay completely limp on the floor, and no one's been able to move him when he gets like that.

Chapter Text

BRON:

Bron chews a lot, so he would need to be given some sort of stuffie that's designed for that. He doesn't do it out of malicious intent or anything, they just always end up between his teeth. He doesn't have any sort of preference for what it is or size or color, he just likes the ones that squeak and the ones that crinkle. 

CODY:

He has his arctic fox that he adores so much. The fur kind of reminds him of Pharaoh. He prefers stuffies that are really soft, and fluffy to the touch. His stuffie doesn't have a name, he just calls it “fox” or “foxy”. He prefers “wild” animals, so no cats or dogs, but he wouldn't complain. He likes “plain” colors, whites, grays, blacks, stuff like that.

DEAN:

He has his Mr. Quack, and that's all he needs. If he had to choose, he'd stick with mostly small birds/animals he feels like are a bit “helpless”, so that he can take care of them. He prefers any of his stuffies to be accurate to life when it comes to colors, so no bright rainbows or anything. He has textures he doesn't like, but he'll never know unless he feels them.

DOM:

He, like Rhea, likes more “gothic” creatures. So bats and ravens and moths, stuff like that. All he wants is for it to be big enough for him to squeeze it in his arms, he likes the feeling of cuddling it. He really won't complain about any stuffed animal though, as long as it comes from someone he loves, it's being added to the pile. Rey once found his first ever teddy bear and gifted it back to Dom, and Dom SOBBED with joy.

DREW:

He likes forest animals. So bears and mooses, things like that! He doesn't necessarily care about the texture, just that it's soft enough that he can rub his face against it. Drew also prefers his stuffies to be true to life when it comes to color, but he will still absolutely love any bright rainbow colored forest animal that's given to him.

JD:

He gives me squishmallow vibes. Like he loves them and he collects the tiny ones. When McDonald's was doing their tiny squishmallow happy meal toys, the local workers could recognize him by his car. He also really likes the giant ones he can lay on. He has one of those squishmallow wall piles things. You know the one.

JACOB:

Like Bron, he just ends up chewing any stuffies given to him. He likes “strong” stuffies though, like lions and gorillas and sharks. His first ever stuffie (Solo got it for him of course) was a grayish wolf, and Jacob would just sit with one of its legs in his mouth while he chewed. 

JEY:

Sea creatures!!! This man loves his turtle, and would love anything that swims. Jellyfish, sharks, fish, whales! And he doesn't care about color. Get him a hot pink leopard print shark and he'll start sobbing with joy. He has whole containers of all his sea animals. They're only organized because Sami went through them all at one point. 

MANKIND:

Hello kitty. Look. I can't explain. But he most definitely loves anything hello kitty related, especially if Gold is giving it to him. He's not one for any actual stuffies, he's more content with collecting them and putting them at the edge of his bed. However, he most definitely has a Leatherface plushie (the 1974 OG mask, or the 1974 Pretty Woman mask, or the 1986 one) that he loves very much, and takes very very good care of.

PENTA:

He's not one for stuffies other than his two dragons he already has. He loves dragons, they're one of his favorite things ever, but he doesn't really need any more. He'll take any sort of stuffie that Fenix gives him and obviously treasure it, but he'd much prefer a dragon of some sort. Texture doesn't matter, but he likes the color to match his masks.

PUNK: 

He has his moose from AJ and his bear from Drew. Like Drew, he prefers forest animals, but he'll love any sort of stuffie. He definitely has a few hockey mascots, and some random ones like a cat and a pig they got from a Walmart. He could care less about the color, but he prefers them to be soft. Not fluffy, but soft. There's a major difference, trust him.

ROMAN:

Roman's not a baby, he doesn't need stuffed animals. Obviously.

So he LOVES cat stuffies. He really likes calico ones, or black cats. He'll sit and stare at them in a store and then be like “nuh uh, I wasn't doing that.”. He likes them to have short hair, but at least a little soft so he can lay his face against them. He loves to nuzzle his face against the fur.

SHAWN:

Shawn would have just a simple, light brown, teddy bear. Hunter won it for him at an arcade, and he would bring it everywhere. He loved its fur, and how oh-so-soft it was. He left it along with the sippy cup when he left Hunter. When they find their way back to each other, years later, Hunter brings out the teddy bear and Shawn just breaks down into a crying mess. He wouldn't want any other stuffie, except maybe for the worst case, getting a replacement teddy bear.

Chapter Text

Their little is going to be the most protected little to ever exist. Those three would do absolutely anything for their baby, and they are not above violence if someone has hurt them in any way. 

Seth is amazing at massages, like wonderful. If their baby is also a wrestler, he'll sit them down after rough matches, getting all the tension out of their shoulders, just making them feel better. Even if they're not also a wrestler, he'll still do it to just feel like he's helping.

Roman has a garden, either at his house or, if it's Kayfabe, at one of their safehouses. He keeps it very tended to, and he'll spend hours outside explaining to their baby what each plant is and how to take care of it. He also definitely grows their favorite flower if he can get the seeds for it. 

Dean makes pillow forts like it's an Olympic sport. He'll spend hours making one for the baby, getting all the pillows and every blanket in the house to make their fortress. He can spend even longer in there with their baby, just cuddling them or doing whatever.

Seth's a reader. He'll cuddle up with their baby on the couch, swaddle them both with a blanket, and read his book out loud to them, especially during nap time. Of course, he definitely has a few books that are hidden away from little eyes, but he owns just as many books that are JUST for little eyes.

Roman has a terrible sleep schedule, he always feels like he needs to be alert and ready (especially in kayfabe) so it's difficult for him to sleep. However, if their baby asks him to take a nap with them, he's out like a light in seconds. The other two know this, and definitely bribe- …..ask their baby nicely to do this.

Dean's the easiest to get snacks from. He has at least a bag of something on him at all times, even if the other's tell him not to. He'll sneak their baby gummies and chips, smirking the whole time. He won't do it if it's past their bedtime, but he'll promise to give them an extra fruit snack the next day if they behave and go to sleep.

Their baby has their own version of The Shield's tactical gear. Whether it's just an outfit that matches or like a onesie with a matching skull mask, they own it. Nothing melts any of their hearts faster than seeing their baby wearing their gear. 

Play wrestling is a big thing for them! They'll roll around, dramatically falling to the floor at even the tiniest of taps, letting their baby pin them while they giggle in pure delight. They'll even let their baby “win” their titles from them, one of the boys acting as the referee, spinning their baby around while laughing when they win.

They literally have a color coded schedule for who gets to sit next to their baby in the car. If their baby needs to sit in the passenger seat, they fight over who gets to drive and hold their hand. Otherwise, they'll spend the entire car ride in the backseat holding their baby, playing with them, watching cartoons with them, etc

Chapter Text

Dom mumbles a lot in Spanish without realizing, and gets really fussy when the others don't understand him. Damian has to be a really quick translator or else Dom will start tearing up at not being understood.

Dom likes having his bangs/whatever the front of a mullet is called clipped back, and he insists that Damian be the one to part his hair and clip it. He also loves it when Damian braids his hair, he loves to sit in his lap and have Damian just scratch at his scalp.

Speaking of that, Dom will demand to be held in Damian's lap as he sings to Dom in Spanish. He prefers lullabies, but anything sung by Damian makes him just want to lay his head on his chest and sleep, Damian's heart beat making his eyes flutter shut.

He carries around a stuffed animal, that animal changes constantly, and Damian has to always be on the look out for it so Dom doesn't lose it. On more than one occasion, Damian's found the stuffie somewhere in catering, more than likely dropped near the sweets. 

Listen, it just makes sense that Dom had/had a FNaF phase. He probably has a bunch of plushies of the animatronics, and he loves babbling about the lore to Damian. However, Damian has to constantly make sure he doesn't find a way to watch any sort of gameplay because he will end up with nightmares.

Dom refuses to sleep in his own bed while little, he needs his bedtime story in Damian's room and by the time Damian's finished, Dom is already completely asleep. Damian really doesn't mind, he loves getting to curl up around him.

Dom constantly wraps himself around Damian's back, especially while he's cooking. He likes being close to his papi and seeing what he's doing, being held is only somewhat of a bonus for him.

Dom wears Damian's clothes constantly. He's always stealing sweaters the moment Damian's taken them off, grabbing Damian's sweatpants because ‘they were easier to grab’. He just wants to match with his papi, he loves it. 

Damian and Rey get along quite well. Well, Damian is honestly scared of Rey, terrified of messing something up. The two of them take Dom out to lunch a lot when he's little, and he loves having both his papis caring for him and fussing over him.

Chapter Text

BRON:

If he's really really tired, all he really does is gather a bunch of blankets to curl up on, and that's it. Otherwise, Seth has him do a lap or two in their backyard (or just around the room if they're at a hotel) to have him get his energy out. He'll leave his collar on, but really loosened, and curl up next to whoever's already in bed. Sometimes he gets in a mood where he doesn't want to sleep in a ‘human bed’ so he'll put all his blankets on the floor next to the bed, still wanting to be close to his boys.

CODY:

Cody needs a bedtime or otherwise he will end up passing out in random places in the house. Whoever's with him will remind him about thirty minutes beforehand so he can wrap up whatever he's doing. He insists on having someone brush their teeth with him, and also pretending to brush his fox’s teeth. He's able to sleep just fine if he's been tucked in, but he much prefers having someone cuddle him to sleep. He'll occasionally ask Brandi and/or Randi to read him a bedtime story, and he'll ask Dustin to tell him a (child friendly) Goldust story.

DEAN:

He sleeps where he sleeps without a care in the world. Roman and Seth have to convince him to actually get ready for bed, or else he'll just plop over the moment he can with Mr. Quack. However, he does like having a small cup of apple juice before bed, and he'll crawl into someone's lap to relax and drink.

DOM:

He also has a bed time, and he gets really cranky around then, but all he really needs is to be held. He needs help changing/brushing his teeth but he won't complain as long as whoever's helping him is also holding his hand. He absolutely needs a bedtime story, and he'll lay his head on the chest of whoever's speaking so he can feel the rumble of their voice. If he's with his dad, he'll try his hardest to curl up and fit in Rey's lap, leaning against him and having him tell him random stories in Spanish.

DREW:

He doesn't really do anything specific to get ready for bed, he's actually really calm when it comes to bedtime, even when he has to put his dolls away. As long as he doesn't have to actually go to sleep by himself, he's fine. He does, however, have to say goodnight to all of the dolls he currently has out, or else he'll feel bad.

JACOB:

Jacob just does whatever Solo/whoever's looking after him does. Following a specific routine can be too much for his cub brain at times, so it's easier to let his CG guide him through getting ready for the night. All he really cares about is getting to curl up next to them and laying his head on their chest.

JD:

He, too, gets cranky about having to sleep, but less so than Dom. He doesn't have a very strict bedtime like Dom, but he tends to sleep around the same time as him, helping him get ready (he is no longer allowed to help Dom brush his teeth without supervision). He loves all of his CGs, but he needs Finn to tuck him into the blankets, or talk to him on call the whole time if he's not there. He likes bedtime stories, so he'll curl up next to Dom, or have Finn read him one later if they're going to bed at different times.

JEY:

Jey will swear no matter what that he's not tired. Like, yawning and head dropping and everything and he insists that he's fine. Sami and/or Jimmy have to convince him to get ready for bed, usually by telling him they're going to bed, and he doesn't want to be left out. He sleeps with a nightlight, but if they don't have one, Sami or Jey will turn on a lamp in the corner of the room.

MANKIND:

His isn't anything too extravagant, just really taking off his mask, maybe wiping down his face, and brushing his teeth/hair. He will sit next to Goldust when it's time for bed, watching him take off his makeup. Sometimes she'll even let him gently rub some of it off with a makeup wipe and she smiles so wide at him he just melts

PENTA:

Really no different from going to bed when he's big. He likes the warm feeling in his chest when Fenix helps him though, so he's more than happy with that. He'll give each of his dragon stuffies a kiss on the forehead, curling up with Fenix and Fuego to sleep. If Fenix isn't there, he needs him on call to talk him to sleep.

PUNK:

Punk too isn't really different, but he likes it when Aj or Drew tuck him in, kissing him goodnight softly. He has to say goodnight to Larry of course, giving him a forehead kiss while giggling. He steals blankets a lot more often when he's little, so he always gets extras out of the closet when it's time to sleep so he can cocoon himself.

ROMAN:

Roman won't admit he needs help for a very long time, but his boys are good at noticing when he needs it. He refuses to sleep in his own clothes, needing to wear someone else's shirt and pants, or else he'll whine. He, too, sleeps with a nightlight, but they didn't realize until he woke them up shaking one night because he was too scared to get up. He's not too big on bedtime stories, just wanting to be held as he sleeps.

SHAWN:

In the early days, Hunter would have to basically fight Shawn to actually get him changed and brush his teeth when it was time for bed. He'd do everything he could to distract Hunter, huffing when it doesn't work. Usually Hunter would shove his teddy bear into his arms and that would calm him down enough. He's definitely gotten more calm as he's gotten older, and it usually just takes some soft words from his CGs to get him ready. Hunter is very jealous, he will deny that until the day he dies, but Shawn is much more likely to listen to anything Steph says without an argument. As long as he has his teddy bear, he can sleep anywhere, but he much prefers being sandwiched between his two CGs.

Chapter Text

AJ/DREW/PUNK:

Aj: Aj calls both Punk and Drew her ‘little boys’ more often than anything else. She called Drew a ‘wee bairn’ once as a joke and he loved it, so she stuck with that. She also gets a kick out of calling Punk her ‘little Punker’

Drew: Drew is more on the simple side, calling Punk either his baby boy or his little baby.

Punk: Punk calls Drew his bear, or his bear cub. Other than that, he'll call any other little Bubba or Sissy.

—

DUSTIN/GOLDUST:

Cody: Dustin calls him bubba a lot, or bubs. Just baby works too, Cody loves any name from his mama.

Mankind: Micky! It's the quickest way to get him to calm down, and it makes Mick melt. Sometimes she'll call him her golden baby and that's his favorite.

—

FENIX:

Penta: Little dragon or baby dragon. Penta absolutely loves it, dragons are his favorite thing after Fenix of course, and Fenix loves how happy it makes him.

—

HUNTER/STEPHANIE:

Shawn: When they were younger, Hunter would call him his heart break baby, or his heart. Now he still calls him his heart, but also calls him baby boy. Steph calls him sweetheart a lot, and occasionally she'll call him her teddy bear while she holds him. He absolutely loves that one.

—

JIMMY:

Jey: Uce is very commonly used, it fits and they both like it. Jimmy will call him little buddy sometime, and they both like that one too

Jacob: Jacob sort of has a universal nickname between all of his family, and that's cubby. He's their cub, it just fits!

—

RANDY/BRANDI:

Cody: Randy calls him Codes Baby a lot, or his little prince. They both make Cody squeal with delight everytime. He called him king for a bit after KOTR, but they both like prince better.

Randy: It's not often that Randy is regressed, and it's usually when Cody is too. Cody will call him his baby love (more pronounced “baba wuv”) and Brandi calls him her snakelet.

—

RHEA/FINN/DAMIAN:

Dom: Rhea calls him her little bat and it never fails to make him grin. Finn calls him babaí, and Damian tends to call him mijo. They all make him extremely happy, clapping his hands in excitement.

JD: Like Dom, Finn will call him babaí or little demon (very affectionately of course). Rhea calls him her crow, and Damian will switch between mijo and junior, usually junior. 

—

ROMAN/DEAN/SETH:

Roman: Dean calls him Rome, and Seth calls him Roro. Usually they just use baby or little boy, but once Bron called Roman his little flower and it made Roman melt, but he swore Bron to secrecy when he was big.

Dean: All three of them will call him their duckling, or their baby duck. Roman will also call him Deany, and occasionally Seth will call him his little lunatic to make Dean giggle. Bron calls him baby or ducky.

Bron: Puppy or Pup is pretty much what they use. Occasionally Bron-Bron, said by Seth of course, but Bron rolls his eyes so hard at that name that you could bowl with them.

—

SAMI:

Jey: Habibi (my love) or Hayati (my life). Jey is honestly a sucker for any nickname, but those two are both his and Sami's favorite. He really is Sami's world, the names just fit.

—

SOLO:

Jacob: Cubby, wolf cub, or his little wolf. He switches between the three constantly, and they all make Jacob melt. 

Jey: He feels a bit weird calling his older brother baby at first, but he gets used to it really quickly. Uce or baby bro are the favorites between the two.

Chapter Text

DOM:

He's a bit scared of it at first, but not as scared as he is of actual Demon Balor. Finn still has to be really careful with it, gently showing Dom the puppet and having Dom touch it, kind of like a dog. He's not the world's biggest fan, and he doesn't prefer it, but he'll let the demon play with him and his stuffies. He still gets weary sometimes, glaring at it occasionally.

JD:

He ADORES that puppet so much. Literally squealing in joy and demanding to see the puppet the moment it was done. If given the chance, he will treat it like one of his stuffies. He'll hold up his sippy/fork/etc. to the puppets mouth, and he'll tuck it into bed at night. He adores regular Demon Balor, having a version of him he can carry around is wonderful. Even while big he thinks it's one of the coolest things ever.

RHEA:

She's not as obsessed with it as much as JD is, but it's something sort of horror related, so it's automatically super cool to her. She'll introduce it to her stuffies, and occasionally play with JD when he has it. She'll also let Dom cling to her side when he insists he's not scared. 

DAMIAN: 

He helped make it. Their local Michael's absolutely hated seeing them walk through that front door. Damian thinks it's cool, he likes any version of Finn, even the little puppet version. He'll help JD prop it up on the couch during movie nights, and he'll help protect Dom from it (letting Dom lay in his lap while glaring at it)

Pumpkin Carving! He's very messy with it, and he ends up trying (and failing) to use his teeth more than any actual tools, but he loves it. Usually he ends up curled up by someone's feet, chewing on a scrap of pumpkin.

CODY:

Apple Picking! The local farms definitely know him by now, he finds it such a fun experience that he'll drag Brandi and Randy there several times. He insists on wearing an oversized sweater even if the weather doesn't call for it, he just has to look the part. He just loves the whole experience, and he'll use the apples to make pies when he's big. 

DEAN:

Watching Halloween movies. Not really horror movies, but Halloween. Like Hocus Pocus and Nightmare Before Christmas. It's the same as his Disney movies, he never really had a chance to watch all the “classics” growing up, and his boys are determined to watch them all with him. 

DOM:

Jumping in piles of leaves. Genuinely that is his favorite thing to do. He'll excitedly rock back and forth as he watches the Judgment Day/His dad rake them into a pile big enough for him to jump into. He would do this for hours if he could, only lured away by the promise of some hot chocolate and cuddles with everyone else.

DREW:

Every year he has a new favorite. Sometimes he wants to go to festivals, sometimes he wants to check out every pumpkin patch in a seventy-file mile radius. This year it's hiking. Nothing too intense, just small trails that his little brain can handle, and he'll bring his dolls with to show them around, having Aj and Punk take at least a hundred photos of the dolls in different poses in the foliage and against the trees.

JD:

He's kind of like a mix of the other JD members! He really just likes the outdoors, he'll sort the leaves into different colors and throw them at Dom, and he'll sit through (most of) the horror movies excitedly, as long as he has someone's hand to hold. He looooves Halloween because Finn is very easily convinced to bring out Demon Balor, and JD always loves getting to spend time with his spooky Daid.

JACOB:

He really doesn't have a favorite activity, he just does whatever his family is doing. It tends to get a bit too cold for him to comfortably go camping the way he'd like to, so he spends his nights curled up in the backyard in the leaves until someone comes and drags him inside to a bed. He likes getting to chew on the pumpkins though, and he'll be extremely excited for pumpkin carving just for the chance of scraps.

JEY:

Jey is really big on fairs and festivals, he loves when Fall comes around and the theme of them gets a bit darker. He doesn't have a favorite thing about them, he just loves visiting in general. He is shockingly good at the rigged games, and Sami/Jimmy have to put a limit on how many he can play and which ones, or else Another Incident will happen. (He won 4 goldfish in one night)

PENTA:

Parades! He just loves everything about them, and it's ten times better with his brother by his side. He'll bring Fuego with him, being sure to be very careful and not leave him anywhere/get him dirty. He holds onto Fenix's hand the entire time, excitedly babbling about everything he sees, even if he's not that young.

PUNK:

It's not really a fall activity, but the zoo! He loves all the animals and will stop by every single exhibit he can to make sure they've all been given the proper amount of affection. And if they have to leave before he gets everyone, they'll just have to come back soon so he can continue making grabby hands at every animal through the glass.

RHEA:

Horror movie marathons. She does this all year round, but fall gives her an excuse to cuddle up with her CGs and binge them while excitedly telling them about the important plot points. There are a few movies that are banned when she's little, mostly because the other littles are scared of them.

ROMAN:

Having an excuse to be indoors. Seriously, spending his time bundled up with his weighted blanket is his favorite way to spend his time. He'll watch Halloween/Thanksgiving movies, more than content to practically melt into the couch if his CGs will let him.

BRON:

He uses Halloween as an excuse to buy dog ears, and that is the only thing he wears. Maybe a brown sweater to go with it, but he's still over the moon with such a “simple” costume. Of course, big him passes the ears off as a joke but he refuses to take them off when they turn in for the night, and he treats them just as carefully as he does his collar.

CODY:

Superman! They already have sort of matching costumes, and it just makes sense! Cody loves it, he has a superman onesie and at least three coloring books of him, he asked Brandi the moment Halloween even got brought up. He'll run around the house with the cape on giggling the whole time, “saving” his stuffed animals from the evil monster (Randy holding them behind his back)

DEAN:

Dean absolutely adores Halloween. He's never been the type to be fancy about it, even now, but the activities are so much fun. For his costume, the most effort he'll put in is cutting some eye holes in a sheet and calling it a ghost costume. It's meant as a joke when he's big, but when he's little, he's genuinely so proud of it, and spends at least half the day hiding behind walls to “haunt” his boys.

DOM:

Either a cow or his dad. For the first option, he gets a CG's help to paint a white shirt with some spots, with matching jeans and some ears. He has a cow stuffie he says it's modeled after, and he spends the whole night convincing people that he and the stuffie are twins. For his dad, he'd steal some of Rey's old gear, though probably only the mask would actually fit, and he surprises him with it. Rey sobs, it's a whole thing. 

DREW/PUNK:

Punk and Drew have matching costumes, and they go as Aj. It's an idea they came up with while joking, and now it is not a joke. They have matching jean short-shorts and cut off “love bites” tees and they spend the whole night skipping around while holding hands and giggling. They didn't tell Aj about it, and she absolutely cries when they show her for the first time. 

JD:

Demon Balor. He didn't say what he wanted to be, just “subtly” said a few times that it must've been soooo cool to dress up like that and he wishes he could have done it. Finn catches on pretty quickly though and even pulls out some of his old gear, helping JD with making the makeup as accurate as possible while the younger man squirms and giggles the whole time. Demonito is invited to go trick or treating with them of course.

JACOB:

Jacob doesn't really have as much excitement for Halloween as the others do. Sure, it's fun and all, but he's just as content curling up next to a loved one and getting head scritches. That being said, he will dress up if anyone, especially Solo, asked him to. Nothing too constricting though, he doesn't like the way tight fabric feels on him when he's regressed. 

JEY:

Him and Jimmy have matching Waffle House shirts and hats. That is their whole costume. They without a doubt go to an actual one that night, just to make the employees laugh. Jey does think it's silly and fun, yes, but the most important part about it is that he's having fun with his brother, one of his favorite people in the world. Speaking of favorite people, if he doesn't match with Jimmy, he goes as El Generico.

PENTA:

A dragon ninja. Not a ninja that looks like a dragon, no, a dragon that happens to be a ninja. He makes the whole thing by himself and it is ridiculously sparkly, and he loves it. He refused to show Fenix any of the progress until it was fully done, even if Fenix had already seen most of it while supervising during his arts and crafts time.

RHEA:

She manages to convince the others to let her be a Fem!Version of Art the Clown, and she absolutely rocks it. Full outfit and facepaint and covered in fake blood, of course carrying her Art Labubu with her. She does end up scaring Dom though, and makes sure to apologize by kissing all over his face until they're both smudged with facepaint and fake blood.

ROMAN:

He may be little, but he is not little enough for a Halloween costume. That is ridiculous. 

Is what he says, at least fifteen times before he regresses and begs for a costume. He still struggles with admitting that this part of himself is ok, so it takes him a bit to get used to it. I say he has an absolute soft spot for Frozen, so he asks to be Olaf. And he is the best damn Olaf you've ever seen, carrot nose and all. Plus, it gives him an excuse to ask his boys for hugs, not that he needs an excuse in the first place.
