Age regression isn’t my specific fetish, but in general, I think you can get some mileage out of the fetish-as-condition if you realistically treat it like a condition. If it’s something that has to be worked around or accommodated, it’s something the reader can empathize with. If you just want the sex without the pathos, though, I think voluntary is often better.

I think the fetish-as-condition is spot on. These people are half about the child aspect and half about the condition when it comes to the kink or fetish. Which is not my bag at all. I don't want just sex, but I am in general very big on choice and free will. I guess you could say that's my kink.

Is this fanart of Bucky and Sam? If so, that's really funny to me as the only ageplay docs I ever read was this all-out smutfest of OT7 Avengers porn. No plot, just porn. It was a wild ride. Just original MCU Avengers though, no Bucky or Sam.

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?

That's definitely Tony and Rhodey, arc reactor pattern background and no metal arm.

(Anonymous) 2023-06-19 10:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohh, you're totally right, I can see it now!

(Anonymous) 2023-06-19 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Looks like Tony and Rhodey to me

Duh, you're absolutely right. Guess it's been a hit minute since I've been in the MCU fandom :D

You know what dumb thing bothers me about age reg fic?

(Anonymous) 2023-06-19 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It's written by people who have no realistic clue what normal behavior for any age is. It's not meant to be realistic, so it's dumb that it bothers me, but there it is. I can get behind age play where it's general kink play with spanking and whatever because that's not a specific age and not meant to be anything realistic. But a lot of age regression fic I've read is very focused on "what age are they" (like figuring out what 'type' of Little they are is a big plot point) and "proper" childcare techniques by the "caregivers" and it's just all off and clearly written by people who have no clue.

HA, yes.
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....)

oh my gosh and the baby talk is so BAD, it's ALWAYS written by people who have no idea what actual children talk like, like they just randomly drop letters out of words without any thought to what sounds a small child's mouth is likely to have trouble with??

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!)

Ayrt

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.

So much agreement on this, but it sort of mystifies me that it would be hard to find, because usually fandom is pretty on target about thinkig over *why* something is appealing and what the focal point ought to be. Even for things that seem subtle and non-intuitive outside of the culture. I mean. Hurt/comfort seems like a related trope, to be honest. This is old hurt/delayed comfort.

(Anonymous) 2023-06-19 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I feel this way about a/b/o and dom/sub universe fics. I don't like how it becomes their entire personality either. I do understand the appeal, I just wish these things would be an addition to fandoms not come in and take over in a wave.

(Anonymous) 2023-06-20 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'd LOVE to see more of those fics that don't fundamentally change a character's personality. Like... ABSOLUTELY I see the appeal of 'this badass character is fundamentally submissive and requires a trusted Dom to keep on an even keel' IF they remain the badass I know from canon? I'd LOVE to see that where the author doesn't just decide Dom means 'the most masculine manly man ever' and sub means 'soft and weepy and the girl in the relationship'-- it's always with characters who don't actually fit those descriptors. Like... let a character who's canonically soft and anxious be that AND be a good Dom, let a character who's canonically buff and hairy and masc and willing to throw himself into physical danger be that AND be a sub who sometimes needs a good scene in order to go back out and be his best self.

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.

Yes, I have read a few dom/sub world fics where the characterization stays on point and the worldbuilding is somewhat thought out but only on recs because otherwise there's waaaaaaaay too much shit to wade through. And I don't rely on the "non-traditional dynamics" tag because 99% of the time it IS the traditional dynamics, just there'll be a maybe a chapter of something else first.

(Anonymous) 2023-06-21 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Recs are a good way to go, because yeah... 'non-traditional dynamics' can apparently mean ANYTHING.

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 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, ageplay in general is very much not my kink, but the stuff where it's like an AU and some people are Littles who just regress spontaneously sometimes squicks me extra hard.

(Anonymous) 2023-06-20 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
lol I'm currently in the middle of writing a classification fic (the fun niche trope of 'you are assigned little/caregiver/none-of-the-above by government or whatever system and will be assigned to each other AU).

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.

It's fine for fetishes to have limits within them.
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.
