(Anonymous) 2023-06-19 09:51 pm (UTC)(link)No idea if this is indicative for ageplay but at least in that series the switch to ageplay was very conscious by all parties. I think they set certain days up for it and it ended at a certain time?

(Anonymous) 2023-06-19 10:14 pm (UTC)(link)You know what dumb thing bothers me about age reg fic?
(Anonymous) 2023-06-19 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)Re: You know what dumb thing bothers me about age reg fic?
I don't really like age-regression, but have kind of stumbled into a couple fics with it, and this was a part of why it just...didn't work for me (that and it's...age regression....)
Re: You know what dumb thing bothers me about age reg fic?
(Anonymous) 2023-06-20 01:15 am (UTC)(link)I'm ALWAYS looking for like... I guess honestly what I *really* want isn't even age regression, so much as re-parenting? Where it's not a sex thing but it's also not 'I'm mentally two years old', so much as 'I had a traumatic lack of a healthy childhood and now I am allowed to safely experience the things I didn't have, and the person/people I love understand this need and may help me heal by offering caretaking/affection/play, or at least understand when I'm having the kind of day where I need a juice box and a coloring book', but no one writes that. So, I read age regression for some characters, but sometimes it's just BAD.
(and dammit, if you can't write a realistic two year old, then DO NOT MAKE your character totally mentally regress to the age of two!)

(Anonymous) 2023-06-20 01:22 am (UTC)(link)You have managed to put into words what I have been looking for. I read a lot of age play and age regression and it never quite hits the mark for me but I can never quite pinpoint why and I think you hit it right.

(Anonymous) 2023-06-20 01:30 am (UTC)(link)And similarly with A/B/O, like... if I want to read about a canon badass, masc guy as an omega, I don't want him to suddenly be a wilting flower who wears panties (well, if it's Dean Winchester, he can wear panties, but only because he canonically likes them) and gets called 'princess'?? I want him to be himself, just... now he has a uterus. But it's ALWAYS like... even if a 'non-traditional-looking' omega starts out disguised as something else, the love interest finds out and suddenly the whole personality does a one eighty? Like... I promise you a man with a uterus can wear boxers or briefs and men's clothes, and like or even engage in sporty activities, and presumably in a world where monsters or supervillains exist, fight those just as easily as a man without one, and I can double promise you most of us don't like when other people look at a man's haircut, maybe facial hair, men's clothes, etc, any traditionally masc pursuits/interests... and then decide to use super-feminizing nicknames constantly. It's not cute, it's gross.

(Anonymous) 2023-06-21 12:36 am (UTC)(link)There's a ST one right now that does actually go with 'omega consistently passes for alpha and retains all canon interests/attributes, alpha is consistently soft/less aggressive (canon compliant), and also wants to be the one getting railed' but it's a jungle out there (only the dangerous jungle animals are just the likelihood of seeing a canon buff, hairy jock guy get called 'princess' and wear skirts and panties)

(Anonymous) 2023-06-20 02:51 am (UTC)(link)I do understand why that's frustrating though; I've always thought that the mash-up tag of age-regression/de-aging was a terrible idea (especially back when I just wanted to read just de-aging 'x character has been turned into a literal child' fics, only having to wade through the adult baby stuff I didn't want to read).
I try to be more specific with my tagging so that it can be the kind of thing to be filtered out, but in the end everyone needs to do it too - and I strongly suspect its usually a case of wanting the story to be shown to as many people as possible within the bare minimum of tagging just agere/de-age.

(Anonymous) 2023-06-21 08:39 am (UTC)(link)For example I'm not big on Futanari. At all. Unless it happens to be a female hyena person.
I absolutely love monster-smut, but as soon as these Egyptian gods/Werewolves/Minotaurs are actually space aliens who just happen to look like what humans call Werewolves, I lose all interest.
