S.U.P.E.R. updates
General | Posted 11 years agoHello everyone!
I would like to thank my new watchers, my ongoing ones, and otherwise for showing a continued great interest in my newest story.
I hope to keep posting new chapters/issues regularly and keep you all entertained ^#^
Unfortunately, I regret to inform you that I have hit "the wall" of this story.
Allow me to explain.
For those who don't know, the S.U.P.E.R. story is first fleshed out through roleplaying between myself and ~tripleccc. Once we have finished roleplaying the length of a chapter/issue, I then convert the roleplay content into prose.
The two of us got a good head start with our roleplays, but unfortunately I have caught up. "The wall" is the point where the distance of the story I've posted matches how far ~triplecc and I have gotten in our roleplays.
Put simply, the next chapter/issue of the story hasn't even been roleplayed yet.
As a result of this, it's going to take a little longer to get chapter/issue 9 up for you guys.
I have to finish roleplaying it with ~tripleccc, and only then can I convert it to prose before putting it up for you all to read.
My friend and I get around to roleplaying pretty much every couple of days, so I don't believe it will take TOO long. Just please be patient with us.
_____________________________________________________________
In more positive news, I am now concluding the character trait poll I put up last week!
The ending results are as follows:
Option #2: 80s Pop received 1 vote...
Option #1: 50s/60s Motown/Soul received 2 votes...
Option #4: 2000s Alternative received 2 votes...
...and Option #3: 90s Pop received a whopping 5 votes! Wow!
That makes Option #3: 90s Pop the clear winner of the poll!
Thank you all to those who voted for your input!
When this S.U.P.E.R. spin-off starts, the main character will have a 90s soundtrack with him!
However, I will warn you guys that I may still find a way to implement the other genre options, which may or may not please others ^^;
Alright, bye for now! Thanks for reading!

S.U.P.E.R. Character Trait Poll!
General | Posted 11 years agoGreetings, SUPER fans!
Here's your chance to determine something about a future character!
As the story and our universe continues and expands, we will eventually introduce a whole new team of heroes along with the ones we're already following. This new team will include references to, among other things, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. And as you probably know, a big part of the personality of Guardians of the Galaxy is the use of classic songs from a certain period of time. We would very much like to parody this, but we just can't figure out what kind of music to use!
Therefore, we've decided YOU can help us pick! We'll be taking votes from both DeviantArt and FurAffinity, and once we've felt we've received enough feedback we will total the points together and make our decision!
Please cast your vote by leaving a comment on this journal!
It'll be easier for us to keep track of all the votes that way!
Please choose what our sci-fi heroes will be listening to out of these choices:
Option #1: 50s/60s Motown/Soul
Probably the best choice for a good recreation of the retro feel the classic songs bring in Guardians of the Galaxy
Option #2: 80s Pop
A somewhat overused option, but a lot of fun stuff came from this time!
Option #3: 90s Pop
Equally fun, lots of variety!
Option #4: 2000s Alternative
Using some lesser known songs from one of our writer's younger days; you might find some new music with this option! We think it might work best with a new main character's personality too!
We look forward to receiving your votes!

Apologies for delays
General | Posted 11 years agoI'd like to apologize for the lack of submissions in the past few days.
I have been sick all weekend and am still not feeling well.
Hopefully I can make a speedy recovery and continue with the story.
I AM planning on continuing very soon, as well as maybe starting some spin-off stories and maybe even a poll to determine things about a new character!
So stay tuned!
I will also be uploading said spin-offs and other extra things S.U.P.E.R.-related to the story's DeviantArt page:

Thank you so much guys!
General | Posted 11 years agoI've constantly been checking the amount of views and favorites the first chapter of my new story has gotten, and I'm pleased with its reception!
In just the first 6 or so hours the story was up here, it received over 100 views and half-a-dozen faves!
Both of those stats are pretty mid-range numbers when compared to my older stuff, but even with that I'm still impressed!
I even got a few brand new watchers because of the story, which is great!
For whatever reason, I was kinda beginning to think my audience was starting to slink away here. I don't get many comments on my journals anymore, and things are only a little better in that department with submissions. Also, I know I hadn't posted anything in a while, before I updated my account with all the old stories from DA and since.
When I DID upload something new, though, you guys showed me that you still care a lot. And thank you so much for that, it really made my day!
I am REALLY excited about this story too, guys! The last time I was THIS motivated to work on a story, I didn't even have a Skype profile yet! X3
I've been working steadily today on chapter 2, and if all continues to go well I should have it up before the weekend is through!

General | Posted 11 years agoJust watched the amount of submissions in my inbox progressively go down until there was about 20 less in there, then stop.
What happened?

Sorry (Inactivity)
General | Posted 11 years agoUgh…sorry guys, but this is gonna be a hefty week for me x.x
I’ve got two big assignments to do, one I have to work on tonight and the other I have to do Wednesday night. If I don’t do a decent job on that second one, it probably means I won’t pass the class it’s for. And along with those two, there are like a hundred other impending assignments that I need to work on.
As much as I hate to admit this, I may have to back away from being social this week, at least until Thursday. I might also be back on Tuesday, but we’ll see.
I guess it works out that this is also the week my college dorm’s Ethernet has died and I now have to rely on its shoddy-at-best Wi-Fi connection. Ironically though, Skype seems to be the thing that works best during this time x.x
I’m so sorry I have to back off, I love you all very much and I look forward to hearing from you soon >#<

Sona Halloween costume choice IMPOSSIBRU!
General | Posted 11 years agoSo even though I myself haven't dressed up and/or gone trick-or-treating in several years, it's become a sort of tradition to at least assign a Halloween costume for my sona in recent years.
Most of you probably remember this pic where I dressed up as Fox McCloud a few years back: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/6787485 (on the bottom right)
And last year, although there was no visual evidence, in RPs I donned the attire of furry Tom Sawyer's Huck Finn for Halloween: http://playrific.com/images/media/a.....87174_7105.png (on the left)
Usually, the choice is very simple for me.
Most of the time, one thing would stand out a lot more than others that year, and I would take from that.
This year, though, like FOUR things stood out.
And as a result, I am having the hardest time deciding what my sona's costume will be.
This is likely the smallest / least important decision, as it probably won't even be put into a pic and might only show up in one or two RPs.
But because I'm weird, I am creepily obsessed with figuring this out.
So, I'm going to briefly run through the different outstanding sources of inspiration for me this year, and you're gonna put up with it X3
I'll try to go in chronological order of when they motivated me.
1. Guardians of the Galaxy
BEST MARVEL MOVIE EVER and ROCKET RACCOON. Do I need to say more?
Naturally I would pick Rocket Raccoon here, but what's keeping me from it is the fact that many others have done it with their own sonas. There might also be a couple of others within my friend circle that would do the same, but I at least know there's one who would want Groot instead and another that would likely be Star Lord >#>
Unfortunately, since this came first, the hype has kind of died down for me anyway.
2. Five Nights at Freddy's
Again, this has been a HUGE phenomenon that has brought tons of inspiration for many people on these sites.
While it would make the most sense for me to pick Foxy to dress up as, I'd generally be okay with donning any of the animatronics, with the exception of Chica. Again, however, this is a thing that way too many other people are doing, even more-so than Guardians probably. And on top of that, at least a couple of people within my own friends circle may take up these positions.
Hype's still strong for this one, though, as I just did a playthrough for my YouTube channel.
3. Bleach
I've been a fan of this series for quite a while now, and as I watch it on Toonami rather than online or anywhere else, I'm getting a little emotional about the anime ending this coming Saturday. I know the manga is still ongoing, and I do plan to continue with it, but still.
I like many characters from the series, but none of them more than the captain of Squad 7, Sajin Komamura. This outfit makes a lot of sense, as it's the persona I've donned for my YouTube channel. What's stopping me though is that, since the series has been around for a while, the desire here isn't as strong as with the others.
4. DIGIMON
Here's the wild card of the list. That journal I made recently about my favorite regression scenes required me to look up the first Digimon movie again, and as a result of watching it, I'm addicted to Digimon again. I'm already planning on watching the second Digimon movie, get my card collection back via amazon, and maybe even buy the brand new Digimon game that's coming out on PS3 on November 11. I've also started watching the television series again from the beginning. I've only watched the first three episodes so far, but I'm continuing. This is more than what I did the last time I reviewed the first Digimon movie, in which case I only watched the first episode in the series and did a piece of art about the nostalgia I got from it. So, it doesn't seem like it's going away this time.
Narrowing the vast selection from this source down to a single Digimon, I would most likely be Flamedramon, the Fire of Courage! Within my friends circle, knowledge of the Digimon series is almost exclusively mine, and therefore it's kind of special and something that I now cling to as a way of getting back at my friends for talking about things that I don't know X3
This rekindling has only occurred within the last couple of weeks, and therefore I see it as kind of unfair to pick this and miss the opportunity to be something more modern and pop culture driven. I mean who the hell's into Digimon anymore anyway? X3
Another reason is that slapping the pieces of armor onto my main fox sona makes me picture really awkward images, and basically I'm not sure it would work out if it was ever put into art ^^;
WHAT DO I DOOOOO??? x.x

Digisona update (and extra junk)
General | Posted 11 years agoBefore I begin, I would first like to apologize, as back when I described the events of Digimon The Movie I made terrible mistakes regarding the digivolution forms that makes me ashamed to consider myself a fan of the series. I would like to correct these now.
First of all, I had previously thought that one of the baby stages I identified was the Egg stage, but this is not the case. Digimon are first in the Egg stage, then they have the two baby stages of Fresh and In-Training.
Secondly, I have done some more research regarding the second circulation of Digimon and discovered something about their digivolution forms when battling Kokomon.
It has been revealed to me now that many of the Digimon for that period were prevented from naturally digivolving by someone or something known as the Digimon Emperor, and instead the DigiDestined of that time had to use various artifacts known as DigiEggs to allow their companions to digivolve. By doing this, the Digimon were not naturally digivolving, but were instead Armor Digivolving. The three main Digimon of that period - Veemon, Hawkmon, and Armadillomon in their Rookie forms - used this process when fighting Kokomon. I previously thought it foolish that Veemon digivolved to Flamedramon for the final fight when Kokomon beat him rather easily earlier on in the movie. Now, though, it’s been revealed that Veemon didn’t have many more options at the time. I still don’t get why he and the other two mains were so damn cocky when they didn’t land a single hit on Kokomon, though.
So anyway, when Kokomon reverted them in the final battle of Digimon The Movie, it wasn't undoing their more natural digivolution, but can rather be more likened to removing or negating their armor from the DigiEggs. Later on, when Angemon and Angewoman appear, they are unaffected because they have naturally digivolved. Angemon is Patomon's Champion form, and Angewoman is Gatomon's Ultimate form.
This explains the double standard I noticed, but only to an extent. Terriermon, which is Willis's Digimon, had naturally digivolved earlier but was still reverted like the ones that armor digivolved. It could've simply been that the reason Angemon and Angewoman didn't revert was because they came after Kokomon's attack, but I have a counterargument to that. When Kokomon began regressing the DigiDestined after the initial reversion, a couple of the Digimon were reverted further back into their In-Training forms. So why did Angemon and Angewoman not revert then? And later when Willis and Davis use the Golden DigiEggs to progress their Digimon, they remain unaffected when Armor Digivolving was countered before.
So in summation, what the fuck???
Oh well, at least I was right about Kokomon’s stages of digivolution.
Anyway, I stumbled upon this because I was initially researching the canon Digimon I want to have my new sona become, and that would be Veemon. By going through his page on the Digimon wiki, I discovered that the only Digivolution forms of his that I know about past his Rookie level were the result of DigiEggs, not natural Digivolution. Veemon does have many natural digivolution forms after Veemon, but I did not recall any of them.
This kind of jumbles everything up a bit, as I was under the impression that Flamedramon and Raidramon - who are actually armor digivolutions - were his Champion and Ultimate forms. I wasn't really sure how I felt about having my eventual tamer/DigiDestined having to collect these artifacts if they ever want me to become greater than Veemon.
But, I've now made peace with it.
So, on to the actual announcement.
The Digimon progression my sona will take is that of Gen 2's Veemon:
http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Veemo.....28Adventure%29
I will be using his normal progression up until his Rookie level, after which I will be restricted to his three Armor Digivolution forms: Flamedramon, Raidramon, and Magnamon. All of these can be seen by scrolling down on Veemon’s page.
This narrows down my choices to Options 1 and 2 from my previous journal.
I have since then decided that I am going with Option 2. I will use Veemon's progression, but I will be altering certain features and the names of the different stages.
Here's the rundown of these changes:
1) Fresh:
Chibomon will now be called Bibomon, red eyes will be changed to brown
2) In-Training:
DemiVeemon will now be called DemiBeemon, eyes and lines around them will be changed to brown
3) Rookie:
Veemon will now be called Beemon (I checked, wasn't taken), yellow/gold markings will now be brown, eyes and lines around them will now be brown
4) Courage Digi-Egg form (we'll call this one Champion):
Flamedramon will now be called Blamedramon, eyes and red parts of armor will now be brown
5) Friendship Digi-Egg form (we'll call this one Ultimate):
Raidramon will now be called Reidramon (subtle change, 'e' instead of 'a' although it was pronounced like the change anyway), eyes and black armor will now be brown
6) Golden Digi-Egg of Miracles form (we'll call this one Mega):
Magnamon's name will stay the same (got nothing for it at the moment, might change later), eyes will now be brown and armor will look slightly more bronze-like
The name and color changes are derived from my primary fursona, Boltro Reiodoru:
https://www.weasyl.com/character/24.....pdated-picture
And as a bonus, if I hadn’t picked Veemon as a base, my second pick would’ve probably been that of Gabumon:
http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Gabum.....28Adventure%29
If for some reason I ever have the urge to make another Digisona, that’s probably who it will be.
And that's just about it.
I'll begin contacting hopeful tamers/DigiDestined and see who's interested in the idea. I know not a lot of you are very knowledgeable regarding the franchise, but you don't have to know TOO much to take part in this.
Thanks for reading in any case, and I hope to hear from people!

Chibomon will now be called Bibomon, red eyes will be changed to brown
2) In-Training:
DemiVeemon will now be called DemiBeemon, eyes and lines around them will be changed to brown
3) Rookie:
Veemon will now be called Beemon (I checked, wasn't taken), yellow/gold markings will now be brown, eyes and lines around them will now be brown
4) Courage Digi-Egg form (we'll call this one Champion):
Flamedramon will now be called Blamedramon, eyes and red parts of armor will now be brown
5) Friendship Digi-Egg form (we'll call this one Ultimate):
Raidramon will now be called Reidramon (subtle change, 'e' instead of 'a' although it was pronounced like the change anyway), eyes and black armor will now be brown
6) Golden Digi-Egg of Miracles form (we'll call this one Mega):
Magnamon's name will stay the same (got nothing for it at the moment, might change later), eyes will now be brown and armor will look slightly more bronze-like
The name and color changes are derived from my primary fursona, Boltro Reiodoru:

And as a bonus, if I hadn’t picked Veemon as a base, my second pick would’ve probably been that of Gabumon:
http://digimon.wikia.com/wiki/Gabum.....28Adventure%29
If for some reason I ever have the urge to make another Digisona, that’s probably who it will be.
And that's just about it.
I'll begin contacting hopeful tamers/DigiDestined and see who's interested in the idea. I know not a lot of you are very knowledgeable regarding the franchise, but you don't have to know TOO much to take part in this.
Thanks for reading in any case, and I hope to hear from people!
Yet another 'sona announcement
General | Posted 11 years agoThis is an announcement that I've been holding off on for a bit now, having been foreshadowed by the preceding journal listing my biggest influences in age regression.
If you haven't read that yet, I'd suggest that you at least go and read the section for "Digimon The Movie" before continuing with this one.
Those of you who know me will see this as something that probably should have happened YEARS ago, but upon reviewing "Digimon The Movie" yet again my desire is finally strong enough.
Ladies and gentlemen...
To my already expansive reservoir of fursonas, I would like to add a Digimon one.
I know that there are still half a dozen sonas I have yet to formally introduce before this one.
What you might not know is that one of them is actually a Pokemon sona that I have been using exclusively in private RPs: Arc the Arcanine. Having a closer attachment to Digimon all this time (for now obvious reasons), I feel as though I've betrayed myself a bit for making a Pokemon one first. I am now out to rectify that and to act upon the rekindled Digimon fan fuel I have after watching the movie yet again.
I don't have any specifics set in place just yet for the Digisona, except for the fact that he will likely be used for reenacting to an extent the regression sequences within the movie. This means that my Digisona will in fact need several developed digivolution forms, and not just be restricted to one of them.
The big thorn in the side of my progress here is that the first Digimon movie is practically my only influence from the franchise at this point.
I recall that the last time I had rediscovered the movie, I tried to go back and watch the series. However, after just one episode, I found it practically unbearable to watch at the age I am now. However, I do remember many of the protagonist Digimon from the first three circulations, and so the form I ultimately choose will likely come from there. What I might also start doing is progress through the other Digimon movies, as I believe the second one is somehow tied in with the first.
While I don't have a lot of options to choose from in my limited knowledge of the franchise, at the same time I'd rather not choose one of the characters that are already used far too much without my partaking. These include Veemon, Guilmon, Renamon, Gatomon, and a couple of others. However, I have realized that I may not have a choice when the time comes. But I will also try and scout the wiki for some other Digimon that I might like to see if I can find a more underused catalyst.
I have thought this through quite a bit, and I've come to deciding that the ultimate result of this sona will go one of three ways:
1. I simply pick from one of the canon Digimon and accept the form of his various digivolutions. For example, I would be a Veemon progression with perhaps different names or nicknames.
2. I choose a progression of canon digivolutions to adopt, but I alter the forms to my own liking. For example, what if Veemon and his forms were more brown or red than blue? Names would probably be altered here too.
3. I ignore the canon Digimon entirely and modify an existing fursona of mine - likely Boltro Reiodoru the Fiction Fox - and turn his features into a series of digivolutions. While normal Boltro would still exist as a fursona of mine, the Digimon version will be a completely different thing - a "Boltromon", if you will. This course would take a lot more work and would require a lot more actual art to visualize the concepts and help with brainstorming. It might actually end up being less fulfilling for me as well.
Another thing I want to stress with this sona is how he will be like in RPs.
No matter which of the 3 options above I ultimately choose, my Digisona would traditionally be a sort of subordinate to whoever he interacts with. Since he would be a Digimon, someone would have to be his Tamer. He would be taken care of by said tamer, then fight for that person when conflicts arise. And if the other person is committed enough, we could even do the whole progression where he starts as an egg and keeps working his way up.
He also doesn't need to be restricted to one person to interact with all the time. Some Digimon do have multiple tamers.
So this is what I've been planning and thinking about, aside from the big regression story that's still on the way.
I would appreciate any feedback at all regarding this, as I'm still in the early stages of development with my new Digisona. So feedback, suggestions, words of encouragement...please leave these ^#^;;
Thank you so much for reading!
Hope to hear from a few of you!

My Favorite AR Sequences in Animated Series
General | Posted 11 years agoAs a precursor to the big project ahead, I’d like to give everyone a bit of a glimpse into my past and reveal the various bits and pieces of age regression sequences that molded my interest into what it is today.
To try and make the idea seem profound, my upcoming project dwells on the definition of power, and that power in and of itself is a very fleeting thing. Speaking largely of my interests in regression as a whole, I seem to have some twisted interest in seeing those with power having it briefly and/or periodically taken away or prevented from using it. I even find this interest in things outside of regression, an example being when Trunks attempted to face Cell in DragonBall Z and his growing muscles prevented him from being fast enough to do so. There are also instances where giant and/or extremely powerful attacks do absolutely nothing to a villain, or when heroes periodically seem helpless against a villain. These are little quirks of mine as well.
In this list, you will see some examples of power being removed or misplaced that will help clarify my interests. However, not all of these examples are like that.
I have here for your amusement examples of age regression within 11 different cartoon television series, both old and recent. To enhance the effect, I’m going to reveal them in reverse chronological order, to simulate the feeling of going backwards ourselves ^#^
1. Camp Lazlo: “Baby Bean” (Season 5 Episode 4b, 2007)
As a disclaimer, I wasn’t a fan of this show, nor am I now really. I originally came across the show while taking days off of school for being sick and watching TV on the couch. But this particular episode at least attracted my attention and holds a place in my mind as a favorite recent instance of age regression.
The episode begins its premise with one of the three main scout protagonists, Raj the elephant, getting a self-assistance machine. At first, the device helps him accomplish simple tasks by grabbing things and massaging his back, but eventually he even makes it think for him. At this point, Raj age regresses because all of his muscles have become practically dormant from overuse of the device. The two other scouts, Lazlo and Clam, find him this way and are unsure of what to do. Instinctively, Clam quickly improvises a diaper and puts it on regressed Raj, who very soon after messes it on cue after Clam asks “what if he does poopy?”. No bulge or brown discoloration appears on the diaper itself, but there was a very gross and satisfying sound to accompany the messing. After their friend’s been regressed, Lazlo and Clam decide to give Raj to who they deem most qualified to care for a baby: Scoutmaster Lumpus. When Lumpus refuses the first time, another scout is told to impersonate the mythical baby-bringing stork and deliver baby Raj to Lumpus that way. That succeeds, and eventually Raj begins progressing again while in Lumpus’s care. That sequence is short, but entertaining. Once Raj is back to normal, he decides to drop his machine off by Lumpus’s quarters, where he finds and begins using it. At the end of the episode, he is briefly shown being regressed and wheeled around in a stroller manned by his assistant Slinkman.
Thinking a little more on the episode’s premise of a machine doing so much for you that your muscles go into dormancy and regress, it actually seems like one of the more realistic ways that it could possibly happen one day. Considering the way technology is ruling everything these days, in a matter of time we could all be heading backwards ^^;
The picture is cropped at the bottom so you can’t see everything, but if you’d like to view the episode, here it is: http://youtu.be/Fmiji7ibcxY
2. Johnny Test: “Johnny vs. Bling-Bling Boy 2” (S2 E2b, 2006)
Even though I’m rather cynical of the direction Cartoon Network’s been taking lately, I actually enjoy Johnny Test quite a lot. The animation isn’t the best, but in it there’s a lot of harkening back to older cartoons, movies, and a lot of other things in general. The series has also put out more than one regression-oriented episode. What I’ve enjoyed most isn’t exactly a bit of nostalgia for me though, but it is for Johnny Test!
So those unfamiliar with the series should know that Johnny is the younger brother to two older twin sisters who are incredibly intelligent and invent all sorts of things in their lab (think pretty much the opposite of Dexter’s Laboratory). One of those sisters has an unwanted admirer: a fat boy named Eugene who goes by the villain alias of Bling-Bling Boy and is basically this show’s version of Dexter’s Lab’s Mandark. Over the course of the series’ seasons, Johnny Test and Bling-Bling Boy have become nemeses, sometimes even in the superhero sense, and have had episodes devoted to their facing off.
In the second of these instances, Bling-Bling Boy enacts a plan to get closer to Susan Test by regressing and disguising himself as a child they have to babysit. On to his plan and expecting a “friend” of his own to come over soon, Johnny wants Bling-Bling gone. Unfortunately, Bling-Bling brought with him a stroller outfitted with his own technology, conveniently included within it a regression ray that he uses to turn Johnny back into a toddler. Caught in the beam along with Johnny is the family’s pet dog and Johnny’s best friend Dukey, who gets regressed into a puppy as well. This quickly gives Bling-Bling the upper hand as he knocks them away, but his priorities with Susan are still in order and he focuses on her attention. Taking this time to address their situation, Dukey comments on the humiliation to ensue when Johnny’s “friend” Sissy comes over, saying “you’re 2 and Sissy’s gonna rib you for still being in training pants”. The two need to fix things and fast, attempting to do so by snatching Bling-Bling away from the sisters and trying to force him into turning them back. Bling-Bling declines and fights back, making Johnny humorously take out his crudely-detailed training pants and hurl them at the villain. However, Bling-Bling quickly puts them on the run again when he threatens to make them even younger. This makes adorable puppy Dukey make another great observation in saying “he’s gonna zap us into embryos!”. Eventually, the three get knocked into a daycare center, where Dukey quickly gets bombarded by other babies that want to hug and pet him. Johnny and Bling-Bling are now left to fight one-on-one, using stuffed animals and swords made of LEGOs as weapons. During the fight, the two have to go through the daycare’s naptime and snack time, but just resume the fighting afterwards. It’s a rather seesaw battle – in that a part of it literally takes place on a seesaw – but eventually Bling-Bling is defeated and is forced into turning Johnny back, Bling-Bling waving his removed diaper as a white flag of surrender. When Bling-Bling tries to trick Johnny and sets the ray to regress him instead, Johnny’s sisters appear and snatch Bling-Bling from his terminal. In the end, Bling-Bling gets humiliatingly babied by the Test sisters and the earlier victory teaches Johnny how to defeat Sissy in the video game he’d been practicing.
Despite the use of regression in a combat scenario, I think it’s the commentary on situations that makes me like this instance of regression the most. I love so many of the lines said by the regressed characters in this episode, and I’ve even tried inserting them in some stories and RPs of my own.
Here’s a link to the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESyO-WH1SaA
3. Fairly Odd Parents: “Channel Chasers” (movie, S4 E25, 2004)
I don’t watch Nickelodeon at all anymore, but I used to back when this show and Jimmy Neutron were the main attractions. Those familiar with Fairly Odd Parents know it’s far from shy with its baby and regression content, and if I wanted to I could have probably dug up a couple of other examples from it. However, this one is the most satisfying for me, although it somewhat cheats by offering two separate instances of age regression in its feature-length runtime.
The first instance appears a short time after the movie’s main premise begins. In order to escape his parents’ grounding him and further punishment from his babysitter Vicky, Timmy Turner wishes for a magical remote that will insert him into the television itself. His fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda comply, and in Timmy goes. After a couple of enjoyable reference programs, Timmy ends up in a Rugrats parody show called Carpet Critters and finds himself to have been turned into a diapered baby to blend in. At first excited to take part in “baby adventures”, Timmy looks around at the other babies to find them more average than the ones found in Rugrats. When he asks himself what he’s supposed to do now, his diaper fills with mess and bloats obviously under him on cue. The messing is complete with bulges and prominent green stink lines, and let’s not forget the addition of flies that appear around it too. Timmy seems amused by this, saying “hey, this show writes itself!”, and then it zooms out to Cosmo and Wanda watching him. When Timmy starts crawling away in his full diaper, Wanda asks “where’s he going?” and Cosmo cleverly responds “he’s a baby; he’s going in his diapers!” At that, Timmy unfortunately brings up his remote and switches to another program.
In the time it takes to get to the second instance of regression, Vicky has obtained a magic remote of her own and gone inside television in order to reach the dictator channel and become ruler of the world. Eventually Timmy realizes this and attempts to stop her, assisted by a version of himself from the future where Vicky succeeds. Eventually, however, it becomes up to present Timmy to stop her, and in the television program violent enough to attract them both beforehand no less. During the fight, Timmy realizes that he needs to progress to an age where he no longer has fairy godparents in order to disable their powers and therefore stop Vicky. He accomplishes this by using his remote’s fast-forward button, but as a consequence a fairy taxi comes to take Cosmo and Wanda away. In order to prevent being taken away from Timmy, Wanda instructs Cosmo to regress Timmy so he’s young enough for them again. Cosmo does as instructed a little too well, as he turns Timmy into a baby. Seeming to have been mentally regressed as well this time, Timmy puts his remote in his mouth and then obviously messes himself again. This time it’s not quite as detailed as in the Carpet Critters segment, but it’s something. After Wanda realizes Cosmo’s mistake, she instructs him to make him his normal age of 10, which he does. Timmy rejoices, but he also asks “why do my pants smell bad?” aside.
Even though the second instance is more active regression, I’m more-so a fan of the first sequence. Despite being an entertaining parody of Rugrats, the sequence offers a little better commentary from the characters. I do prefer regression victims that are still aware of their situation and not mentally regressed as well.
Here’s a link if you’d like to watch Channel Chasers: http://www.watchcartoononline.com/t.....hannel-chasers
I will also give an honorable mention to the episode “Crime Wave”, as even though it doesn’t have regression, it has a great focus on baby content =3
4. Codename Kids Next Door: 3 different episodes
Codename Kids Next Door is in my opinion one of the greatest shows ever to come to Cartoon Network, and it might possibly be my favorite to air on the channel. The premise of the series is perfect and brilliant, and so much motivation and nostalgia came, comes, and will come for me from this series. In fact, this series has been so good that I have three different episodes with regression material packed within, and I just have to talk about them all!
a. “Operation F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N.” (E30, 2004)
This particular episode is such an unfortunate double-edged sword, being the most stimulating yet the least aired of the three. It’s so rare, in fact, that in all these years that it’s existed I have only seen it two or three times. I also unfortunately could not find a link for it online, so if anyone does PLEASE let me know!
The plot of the episode revolves around a student at Gallagher Elementary by the name of Leaky Leona, who has been a student there for an unusually long time. It is revealed that a secret passageway in the girls’ bathroom contains the illustrious Fountain of Youth, which Leona has been using to remain young. Once she has led the members of Sector V there, however, it becomes regression city as she betrays them and starts spraying them with a water gun filled with the water. The constant enemies The Delightful Children From Down The Lane appear as well, but only to eventually get knocked into the Fountain and regress themselves. A while after that, they bring up a giant robot and, while making adorably simple babified sentences, they end up accidentally destroying the Fountain of Youth altogether. Leona escapes with Sector V, and once they’re out the sector grows back up into their normal selves while she turns into an old lady. That’s all I remember, and the info I found online couldn’t tell me anything more. Sorry ^^;
b. “Operation C.A.B.L.E.-T.V.” (S1 E9a, 2003)
I’m breaking up the reverse chronological order a bit here, as this episode came before the last one I’m discussing, but I need to cover this one so that one makes a little more sense.
In this episode, Sector V confronts a television executive because his satellites are conflicting with theirs. However, this particular executive turns out to be a grown man apparently trapped in the body of a baby. Who saw THAT coming??? The infant executive, named Mr. B. (wonder what THAT stands for :P), gets so angry during their meeting that he accidentally wets himself and needs a change. While he’s being cleaned up by his employees, he comes up with the idea to turn the Kids Next Door into an after-school television special. Sector V doesn’t exactly like this idea, but they don’t have to put up with it for long. It is eventually revealed that Mr. B. plans to use his satellites as a regression beam that will turn everyone into babies so he’s no longer looked down upon. Using a device hidden within his cigar, Mr. B. activates the beam within the studio where Sector V’s show is being filmed, and some camera operators and other employees are regressed into infants. In an especially humorous instance, a giant robot inside the studio gets hit with the beam and turns into a toaster. While Mr. B. is gloating, however, the beam goes right over him as well. Since he’s already a baby, he doesn’t change physically, but instead gets mentally regressed and immediately begins bawling like a real baby. Mr. B.’s employees from before, who are now revealed to be his parents, quickly pick him up and tell Sector V that they’ll raise him properly this time.
c. “Operation G.R.O.W.-U.P.” (S1 E13, 2003)
Before “Operation C.A.B.L.E.-T.V.” ends, viewers see the hand(s) of the Delightful Children From Down The Lane snatch Mr. B.’s cigar device without anyone noticing. In this episode, the Delightful Children put the device to use by turning Nigel Uno, a.k.a. Number One, into an adult. Nigel fortunately doesn’t get decommissioned like other K.N.D. members that become too old, but upon his own will he separates himself from Sector V and finds a job as an ice cream salesman. In a desperate attempt to get Number One back to his usual self, the rest of Sector V confronts the Delightful Children. During this confrontation, the cigar device resurfaces and both groups grab at it, causing them all to fluctuate in age. This is where the age regression comes in, as they are all momentarily regressed into babies before skipping to another age. In this scenario, their clothes change with them as they did in “Operation F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N.”. Eventually Nigel comes to the rescue and is able to turn himself back. And that’s about it ^^;
5. Futurama: “Teenage Mutant Leela’s Hurdles” (S4 E9, 2003)
I still stand by my statement that Futurama is an overall better series than The Simpsons. Matt Groening and the other writers are geniuses, even right down to their titles for episodes. This one was actually an annoyance to find, though, as the title apparently went over my head. It’s rather obvious now that I look at it, but initially I was looking for something regarding Professor Farnsworth, as the episode began its focus on him. Anyway, I’ve found it. This example is from a series that’s meant to be more “mature” compared to these other programs, but it well deserves to be included here.
The episode begins with the rest of Planet Express becoming rather annoyed with just how old Professor Farnsworth has been acting lately, and they eventually sign him up for a youthening spa treatment. Once there, Farnsworth is told to take a dip in some tar pits that are literally supposed to take some of the old age out of him, and it ends up working a little too well. It gets a little out of control as tar ends up covering every Planet Express employee, and it makes Farnsworth middle-aged and the others teenagers. To appropriate the title, Leela uses this opportunity to spend more time with her mutant parents, practically forcing them to be the stern parents of a teenager. Teenage Fry tries going on a few actual dates with her during this time as well, emulating cute teenage romance. Meanwhile, Farnsworth offers to try and progress everyone back to normal, but Leela refuses. When the experiment is attempted with everyone else, it turns out to only enhance the effects. Now, Farnsworth is in his 20s or 30s and the others are kids again. And to make matters worse, they are all now continuously regressing. Zoidberg humorously changes into various crazy forms during his regression. During a scene where still-teenage Leela is reading the single-digit-aged others a bedtime story, she stumbles upon the team’s solution: the legendary Fountain of Aging. By the time they get there, Farnsworth is a toddler while the rest of the team are infants. Being not a part of Farnsworth’s experiment, Leela is fortunately still a teenager, and she comments saying “we’d better hurry; they only have one change of pants!”. And Zoidberg is…whatever the heck Zoidberg is. Farnsworth tries getting the rest of the regressed team in carefully, but they end up getting pulled far out by the whirlpool, now in danger of aging too much. Leela then jumps in to save them, compromising her chance at staying a teenager and being looked after by her parents. Eventually, everyone is saved, and some apparently end up a few years younger than they were before all of this. The difference in the end isn’t noticeable, though.
There’s a lot to take away from this half-hour episode. As age regression is its main focus, there is a decent amount of time spent on a lot of different things. Leela wants to receive the average teenager experience, Fry enacts adorable young romance he’s wanted to express toward her for so long, Amy reverts into her young fat self and gets made fun of by her parents and some others, and so on. As to be expected from Futurama, there are also some great lines in this one. A favorite of mine comes from Farnsworth, who says “we will suffer a fate worse than death: PRE-LIFE! …then death.”
6. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy: “The Halls of Time” (E21c, 2003)
This is another beloved Cartoon Network series of mine, as I love the premise and colorful characters. The show has produced some legendary episodes and specials “Keeper of the Reaper”, are you kidding???), but the instance of regression I’m bringing up is simply a segment of one of the early episodes.
Billy and Irwin are supposedly going on a field trip to the Glue Factory, but when the bus stops and the old driver sees Grim with Billy she quickly speeds past them. Grim then comes up with another plan: to take Billy, Mandy, and Irwin on a tour of the Halls of Time. There, Father Time reveals that everyone’s existence is kept track of by an hourglass filled with the sands of time, and when their hourglass runs out they die. Billy and Irwin eventually ditch the tour and go snooping around on their own to find their own hourglasses. In the process, Irwin finds his older brother’s hourglass and shakes it up a bit, leading to showing his brother fluctuating in age while trying to hit on a girl back at school. Billy finds his dad’s hourglass and realizes it’s about to run out, the viewer seeing that his dad’s choking on a chicken bone. To remedy this, Billy turns his dad’s hourglass upside down and puts it back that way, and we get to see the dad’s choking sequence done in reverse. Billy and Irwin eventually find their hourglasses and plan to take them along with Mandy’s and Grim’s as souvenirs, but they are stopped by the others and told to put all the hourglasses back. After they leave, the group starts to regress. Billy shrinks first, then Irwin, then Mandy, and lastly Grim. Mandy makes the observation that the idiots Billy and Irwin put all their hourglasses back upside down, and that they have to go fix them before they all disappear. Grim tells the pilot to take them back to the Halls of Time, and Grim steals Father Time’s scythe in order to swoop toward their hourglasses. They first arrive at Irwin’s hourglass but get there too late as he soon disappears. Humorously, this is the only instance in the entire series where Mandy cares about Irwin disappearing. The three remaining then get younger, Billy and Mandy becoming external embryos while Grim just gets smaller. They find Billy’s hourglass opposite Irwin’s, but they are once again too late and Billy disappears from his embryo. They notice Mandy’s hourglass and realize that they have enough time to fix it, but Grim – being the only one left big enough to do so – chooses to wait and forces her to disappear as well, laughing evilly. Then Grim gets smaller once again, now at the size that Billy and the others were originally. He quickly finds his hourglass, but he can’t lift it as it is much bigger than the others. He quickly gets smaller again, now in a baby stage, and he is forced to sit down next to the hourglass. Knowing it’s too late, Grim waves goodbye before he too disappears. It isn’t shown, but since Billy’s Dad’s hourglass was put back upside down as well, one can deduce that he eventually disappeared too.
The obvious thing to note here is the sense of peril and desperation in the need to hurry and fix the hourglasses before disappearing. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy is a rather crude show, so it stands to reason that its instance of age regression is more morbid, cynical, and unkind compared to the others here that result in happy endings. That’s what the show is like, and it is also one of those shows where everything returns to normal at the beginning of every next episode. So even though it seemed like they were unborn and disappeared, a lot more adventures of the group are still depicted later on. So, no harm done.

7. Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius: “Granny Baby” (S1 E4a, 2002)
This is another great series that kept me watching Nickelodeon, as a lot of cool things happened in this show. As an aftermath to Nickelodeon’s full-length movie featuring the same character, this show was created and went on for quite a while. I consider this show and Fairly Odd Parents to be Nickelodeon’s two real gems of programming. Among other great episodes, Jimmy Neutron had an episode that focused on regression, which is pretty simple in premise and fun in execution.
The premise of the episode lies with Jimmy’s grandmother coming to watch him while his parents take a trip. Jimmy quickly gets tired of Granny’s griping and long stories to the point where, even though his parents told him not to do any experiments on her, he concocts a youth serum and slips it to her. It seems he made the serum a little too strong, however, as Granny Neutron regresses into a baby. Granny says she feels great after the regression, only concerned that she’s now topless. Jimmy is curious as to where Granny got the diaper she’s now in, and she replies saying “I was already wearing it”. Immediately after that, we hear a gross sound and green stink fumes appear as granny messes herself, complaining that she needs her “diadee” changed. Jimmy doesn’t want to change her, and his mechanical dog Goddard refuses as well. Granny keeps messing herself as Goddard runs through the options of who is qualified to change diapers, and they end up on the popular girl Cindy who isn’t on good terms with him. Conveniently, Cindy is operating a garage sale just across the street, and Jimmy takes granny Neutron over to her. As Jimmy at first doesn’t explain who the baby is, Cindy and her friend find the baby adorable until the smell of the full diaper gets to them. As much as Cindy doesn’t want to help him, she says that according to her “nurturing female instincts” she must. The baby then talks to Cindy and her friend, making Jimmy have to explain that it’s his grandmother. Granny states that she’s got a rash brewing and is getting nauseated by her own fumes at the moment, so Jimmy and Cindy take her to the store for diapers and what Jimmy needs for the antidote. At the store, Granny Neutron can’t help but keep talking, and others around become interested in the talking baby. Eventually, the mob wants to hear more and end up chasing Jimmy back to his house. During the chase, Jimmy gets a call from his mom who says they’ll be home early. Once home, Jimmy comes up with a way to repel the crowd and come up with the antidote in time to progress Granny back to normal before his parents return home. One of Jimmy’s friends, Carl, comes over then and says he’s really thirsty, and Granny hands him the rest of the antidote. After drinking it, Carl becomes old like Granny Neutron and says he has a “powerful urge to dance”, to which Granny obliges him.
The only real peril here is Jimmy not wanting his parents to know that he went against their wishes. Granny Neutron generally likes being a baby again, as she seems to embrace a lot of the infantile nomenclature and customs. Whether she does it consciously or not is kind of up in the air still, as Carl’s progression later gives him the urge to dance. So I suppose this taught me how regression and progression can cause certain impulses and urges to arise again within the victim, whether they’re good or bad. There was also a lot of messing too, so there’s that ^#^;;

8. Courage the Cowardly Dog: “The Tower of Dr. Zalost” (S2 E13, 2001)
If my all-time favorite Cartoon Network series isn’t Codename Kids Next Door, it’s got to be Courage the Cowardly Dog. This series is bursting with references and nostalgia, doing such extraordinary and fascinating things with such a simple premise. This show has put out a couple of instances of age regression, and there’s a more substantial example in the “Little Muriel” episode. However, that one wasn’t all that pleasing to me. I’d much rather discuss this one, which is a mere tiny segment attached to one of the series’ most profound and fascinating episodes.
The half-hour-long episode begins with Dr. Zalost, who simply wants a ridiculous amount of funding for his unnecessary project. When the committee rightfully declines his offer, he goes bat-shit crazy and flaunts his menacing moving tower around town, firing cannonballs from it that don’t hurt people but instead make them too depressed to even move. Although grumpy old husband Eustace is immune to these cannonballs (who saw THAT coming? :P), Muriel gets hit with one and falls into a deep depression. As a result, Courage springs into action and infiltrates the tower. Here, Courage enters a stock room of the tower that’s full of the cannonballs, and he encounters Zalost’s small rat lackey, simply named Rat. Manipulated by the power of the depression cannonballs, Rat becomes super-sized and very menacing. Before becoming depressed, Muriel was baking a batch of her famous “happy plums”, which could make anyone happy according to her. Armed with Muriel’s confection, Courage slings some of the plums into Rat’s roaring maw. Once he swallows them, Rat not only reverts to his normal self, but goes back even further and becomes a tiny diapered baby rat. Even though the plums were supposed to make him happy, the newly regressed Rat begins bawling. Still, it is revealed that Muriel’s plums counteract the effects of Zalost’s cannonballs. After escaping the tower, Courage quickly feeds some of the plums to Muriel and she returns to normal. Zalost gets out of his tower and pursues on foot, entering the home. With Courage and Muriel hidden under the dining room table, Zalost approaches it and notices the plums atop it. He for some reason decides to eat some and has a reaction. By the time he looks under the table, though, Zalost is made happy by the plums. Soon after this, the still-regressed and still-crying Rat comes to him. Zalost acknowledges him, picks him up, and gives the poor baby rat a cuddle. As a result, Rat finally stops crying, and he even smiles and lets out a happy sigh. Isn’t that nice?
There are the obvious polar opposites of power and youth here, this time brought about by the opposites of Zalost’s sad cannonballs and Muriel’s happy plums. In Rat’s case, sadness brought power and rage, while happiness made him helpless and at first alone. But when Zalost was made happy as well, they reunited and were made truly happy again. This time around, in a rare occurrence, I mainly focus on the implications rather than what really happened. Perhaps I should reverse-engineer Muriel’s plum recipe into making some happy cannonballs and go around “making everyone happy” ^#^
Sorry for the bad quality, but at least I found this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmrSAAkToho
9. Digimon: “Digimon The Movie” (movie, 2000)
Those who know me well enough should know that this particular instance of age regression has an unusually potent effect on me whenever I watch it. After recently watching it again 14 years after its release, it still shakes me up and rules my perception of things around me. When the film first came out, I was all setup to go see it in theaters with a friend. In the most unlucky circumstance, however, that day I ended up getting sick and vomiting everywhere. Some time after that, I received a VHS copy of the film as a gift, and I immediately became obsessed with it. For me, the movie is a classic that I will always cherish, as both a great movie overall and an unusually potent source of age regression. I don’t care if it ripped off of “Summer Wars”!
First of all, let me describe how the basic premise of Digimon itself has a constant aspect of age regression to it. Much like Pokémon, Digimon can evolve – or as they call it, “Digivolve” – into larger and more powerful forms. The difference within Digimon, though, is that they can both evolve and devolve at will. The different stages of their evolution, known as levels, do also imply thresholds of age for each Digimon, and they are literally how a Digimon “grows up”. The Digimon Wiki categorizes the generally defined levels of Digimon into two baby phases (Baby/Egg and In-Training levels), one child phase (Rookie level), one defined adult phase (Champion level), and then two other transcendent phases after that (Ultimate and Mega forms). You’ll need to know these terms for things to make sense in a bit. Through the evolution and devolution that Digimon undertake, most of the time at their own disclosure, they encounter very fleeting statuses of power and age simultaneously. This is why I as a fan of age regression am into Digimon, and every other fan of age regression should be too.
Now, the first full-length Digimon movie was separated into three sections. The first section is taken up by flashbacks explaining how the main protagonist of Digimon’s first season, Ty, acquired his Digimon. Then, it skips ahead several years to a point where an extremely dangerous Digimon-based virus is overwhelming the web and hacking major aspects of society. As Digimon are data-based, it is up to Ty and his other Digimon-owning friends to send their Digimon into the data streams to stop the virus. They eventually succeed, but it doesn’t last forever. The third and final segment skips ahead a few more years to focus on the protagonists from the series’ second season, where the real trouble begins. Here, the virus has been traced to a Digimon known as Kokomon, previously owned by a boy named Willis. Willis is usually a loner and blames himself for what happened to Kokomon’s possession, but eventually the protagonists meet him and vow to fight alongside him to put an end to Kokomon’s evil. This is the part we’ll be focusing on: the final battle of the film.
When the battle begins, the protagonists’ Digimon all Digivolve into their Champion/adult levels, being the Rookie/child level as usual by default. Kokomon digivolves too, however, presumably into his transcendent level after Champion as he was pretty big before. This presumption would also explain how the fight essentially goes nowhere for the protagonists, as Kokomon is able to handle them all too easily. Eventually, though, when it seems that Kokomon is surrounded, he disappears into a pool of water. Some of the protagonists consider the fight over at that point, but Willis knows too well that they haven’t even scratched the surface. Suddenly, the colors of the terrain around them become inverted and Kokomon reemerges in yet another transcendent form. His maw gapes and he fires cannonballs in all directions, and these seem to have an unusual effect. A couple of the Digimon are shown to have reverted back into their In-Training levels, then at least re-upgrade to Rookie level. That doesn’t seem too bad, as they can just Digivolve back up to Champion again, right? That actually doesn’t seem to be the case anymore, as we discover when a third one Veemon (the Rookie level of the blue Digimon in the group) is shown straining himself in an attempt to Digivolve again. The sound of failure resonates as he stumbles backward, saying “I think I strained something trying to Digivolve”. We now understand that the protagonist Digimon have had their power stripped from them and are unable to acquire it again for the time being, and they still have to face an even larger Kokomon. Given justification to his now jester-like appearance, the new larger Kokomon uses an ability to pull in all of the Rookies and begins juggling them. There’s obviously a giant gap in power at this point, and all of the poor Rookie Digimon are rendered helpless. There is one instance where the Rookies execute a collaborative attack and seem to injure Kokomon, but he instantaneously recovers and begins pummeling them again. He continues absolutely punishing all of the Rookies for a while, only stopping when two other protagonists and their Digimon appear in supposedly transcendent forms. For some reason, they remain unaffected by Kokomon’s ability. I sense a double standard here, as I’ve deduced that if the other Digimon were beyond the Champion level before the inversion they might not have been affected. Anyway, Kokomon begins taking things a step further by age regressing all of the human protagonists, effectively bringing time back to when the virus first attacked him. This event was foreshadowed for a while, as Kokomon kept saying “go back” throughout the movie. The two late-comer Digimon are still unaffected, and as the human characters are now reduced to toddlerhood one of them comments “before we know it we’ll be changing diapers”. The two enact a series of power-ups that enable two of the Rookie-level Digimon to Digivolve again, but afterwards the two late-comers are themselves reverted back into Rookie-levels. Whether it was because of the process to awaken the golden Digi-Eggs or because Kokomon struck them remains uncertain. Two of the human characters activate the two golden Digi-Eggs, allowing their Digimon to “Golden Armor Digivolve”, go inside of Kokomon, destroy the virus part of him, and eventually return everyone else to normal. Whew, sorry for the long explanation there ^#^;;
It’s perhaps less weird to say here that I actually am more fascinated with the Digimon’s predicament in this battle than the regression of their human masters. As I’ve explained above, it’s that whole aspect of having power but having it taken away and preventing it from being used. Digivolving is how Digimon age and obtain power, and Kokomon was a fierce opponent because he could strip them of their primary abilities. The human characters were already relatively useless to the ongoing fight, so their regression actually didn’t affect things very much. The addition of the sequence is still very much appreciated though, Digimon creators, so thanks!
I’ve actually found a YouTube link to the entire feature film, which can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/xrBMMUn4_cQ
If you’re just looking for the regression sequences, I would skip to about 1 hour and 11 minutes into the film. From there, you can catch glimpses of how the Digimon looked right before their devolution.
10. Johnny Bravo: “Look Who’s Drooling” (E30a, 1999)
It’s been so long since I’ve seen any Johnny Bravo that I’ve apparently mistaken a scene to be in this episode when it was actually in one called “The Incredible Shrinking Johnny”, which is also enjoyable. Fortunately, most of what I want to discuss is about “Look Who’s Drooling”, which is actual age regression as opposed to the other episode’s size altering. I wasn’t able to find the full episode for this either, so fortunately this description will be short ^^;
After eating some very spicy chili, Johnny gulps down some liquid which ends up being a regression formula. As a result, he ends up regressing into a baby. He eventually returns to his mother, who turns out to be ecstatic about Johnny’s change. Mama diapers him and unveils all of his old baby clothes that she’s kept hidden this whole time, ultimately deciding to dress Johnny in an adorable pink bunny suit. She keeps coddling him for a while until eventually Johnny gets put in daycare, which he decides to put up with because it’s operated by an attractive woman. When things are about to go his way, Johnny suddenly age progresses back to normal and scares off the woman. He then reemerges in his now torn up bunny suit.
From this sequence, one can take away the humiliation factor that comes as a consequence of reduced age. Mama had apparently been waiting for an opportunity like this to come along ever since Johnny hit puberty, and that’s an idea that I’ve kind of taken to heart with a few of my own stories. I’d like to think all or most parents would like to have their kids be young again.
As I said before, I wasn’t able to find the whole episode online. However, I found a segment of it for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH1CCgbIy8U
11. Darkwing Duck: “You Sweat Your Life” (S1 E22, 1991)
Remember when one of the Disney channels was actually GOOD? If you do, then you know that channel was Toon Disney. The channel had a lot of awesome shows on during the 90s, such as Blazing Dragons and Hercules, and it also aired some awesome non-Disney movies such as The Secret of NIMH and All Dogs go to Heaven 2. Along with this other awesome content was the classic series Darkwing Duck, which focused on a middle-aged duck named Drake Mallard who insists on fighting crime even though he has no superpowers or hardly any gadgets!
In this episode, Drake and his friend Herb Muddlefoot take a trip to a health spa operated by secret villain Jock Newbody, who is secretly trying to create his own Fountain of Youth. In order to complete it, he must obtain the final necessary ingredient: a feather of Darkwing Duck. Eventually, Darkwing and Herb are captured and Jock acquires the feather, turning the decorative fountain inside the facility into a functioning Fountain of Youth. Jock scoops some of the water up in a mug and gulps it down, and the effects are immediately apparent as they change him into a young adult again. Darkwing attempts to attack the new younger Jock, but it only proves to be completely ineffective. Afterwards, Darkwing and Herb are imprisoned in a stock room of the facility, and the cruel villain even locks up his two henchmen. Darkwing and Herb are able to escape when girthy Herb manages to do a sit-up, which allows Darkwing to reach the ropes tying him to the above bar. The two then intercept Jock as he’s attempting to salvage all of the remaining water for transport and eventual use later on. Darkwing is still unable to harm Jock, but Herb’s love for his wife – as well as his size – gives him the force needed for the situation. Caught in a whirlwind caused by Herb twirling around Darkwing, the three end up in the still-full fountain and reemerge as cloth-diapered babies, Jock complaining at the others before they tease him back. Afterward, though, it is revealed that Jock has also developed an antidote for the youth elixir, and he leaps out to get it. Before he drinks it, however, his two lackeys snatch him up and steal the antidote. They snatch up Darkwing as well, but Herb is able to get past them and returns with the bomb they were threatened with earlier. The two lackeys fall onto the explosives as they are headed toward the fountain, where they go off and destroy it entirely. A now defeated Jock goes up to the destroyed fountain and cries that his chance for eternal youth is gone, leaving Darkwing and Herb to drink the antidote before they apprehend him. Don’t worry, the lackeys didn’t die; they just ended up as babies as well and are locked up along with their babified boss. After everything’s taken care of, Darkwing sneaks away and returns undisguised as Drake, and Herb feels obligated to tell Drake the whole story on the 13-hour-long ride back home.
I got a little lazy inserting the stuff I liked within that description, but I’ll say here that it’s entertaining to observe just how quickly their personalities change following the regression. The fight quickly turns into childish whining and teasing. Even though the sequence of regression isn’t all that long and there’s no diaper usage or anything, I still find this instance very entertaining for a few reasons. There’s the drastic change in personality as I just mentioned, and there is also the change of power and momentum as a result of the regression, as is a constant theme with most of these past examples. Let’s not forget that after the three of them reemerged from the fountain, Darkwing was finally able to surpass Jock for some undisclosed reason.
Here’s a link to the full episode: http://youtu.be/YyWtUGf1rxg
Those are all of my favorite instances of age regression that I’ve experienced over the years.
There are a few more I could’ve mentioned, such as American Dad’s “1600 Candles” and Family Guy’s more recent “Yug Ylimaf”. There are also live-action examples, such as Goosebumps’s “The Cuckoo Clock of Doom” and the movie “Super Babies: Baby Geniuses 2” that I’ve also enjoyed, but the ones I’ve gone through have made the most impact on me.
Hopefully you guys feel like you know me a little better from reading through this. And if you’d like to share yours, or perhaps mention one that I might have overlooked, please feel free!
And I do realize that YouTube videos are a very fleeting thing as well, so if any of the links I gave stop working, PLEASE let me know!
I also plan to do another of these journals featuring my favorite Weight Gain sequences as well, and I’ll also have an announcement to make that has something to do with one of the sequences listed above, so stay tuned! And thanks oh so much for reading! :D
To try and make the idea seem profound, my upcoming project dwells on the definition of power, and that power in and of itself is a very fleeting thing. Speaking largely of my interests in regression as a whole, I seem to have some twisted interest in seeing those with power having it briefly and/or periodically taken away or prevented from using it. I even find this interest in things outside of regression, an example being when Trunks attempted to face Cell in DragonBall Z and his growing muscles prevented him from being fast enough to do so. There are also instances where giant and/or extremely powerful attacks do absolutely nothing to a villain, or when heroes periodically seem helpless against a villain. These are little quirks of mine as well.
In this list, you will see some examples of power being removed or misplaced that will help clarify my interests. However, not all of these examples are like that.
I have here for your amusement examples of age regression within 11 different cartoon television series, both old and recent. To enhance the effect, I’m going to reveal them in reverse chronological order, to simulate the feeling of going backwards ourselves ^#^
1. Camp Lazlo: “Baby Bean” (Season 5 Episode 4b, 2007)
As a disclaimer, I wasn’t a fan of this show, nor am I now really. I originally came across the show while taking days off of school for being sick and watching TV on the couch. But this particular episode at least attracted my attention and holds a place in my mind as a favorite recent instance of age regression.
The episode begins its premise with one of the three main scout protagonists, Raj the elephant, getting a self-assistance machine. At first, the device helps him accomplish simple tasks by grabbing things and massaging his back, but eventually he even makes it think for him. At this point, Raj age regresses because all of his muscles have become practically dormant from overuse of the device. The two other scouts, Lazlo and Clam, find him this way and are unsure of what to do. Instinctively, Clam quickly improvises a diaper and puts it on regressed Raj, who very soon after messes it on cue after Clam asks “what if he does poopy?”. No bulge or brown discoloration appears on the diaper itself, but there was a very gross and satisfying sound to accompany the messing. After their friend’s been regressed, Lazlo and Clam decide to give Raj to who they deem most qualified to care for a baby: Scoutmaster Lumpus. When Lumpus refuses the first time, another scout is told to impersonate the mythical baby-bringing stork and deliver baby Raj to Lumpus that way. That succeeds, and eventually Raj begins progressing again while in Lumpus’s care. That sequence is short, but entertaining. Once Raj is back to normal, he decides to drop his machine off by Lumpus’s quarters, where he finds and begins using it. At the end of the episode, he is briefly shown being regressed and wheeled around in a stroller manned by his assistant Slinkman.
Thinking a little more on the episode’s premise of a machine doing so much for you that your muscles go into dormancy and regress, it actually seems like one of the more realistic ways that it could possibly happen one day. Considering the way technology is ruling everything these days, in a matter of time we could all be heading backwards ^^;

2. Johnny Test: “Johnny vs. Bling-Bling Boy 2” (S2 E2b, 2006)
Even though I’m rather cynical of the direction Cartoon Network’s been taking lately, I actually enjoy Johnny Test quite a lot. The animation isn’t the best, but in it there’s a lot of harkening back to older cartoons, movies, and a lot of other things in general. The series has also put out more than one regression-oriented episode. What I’ve enjoyed most isn’t exactly a bit of nostalgia for me though, but it is for Johnny Test!
So those unfamiliar with the series should know that Johnny is the younger brother to two older twin sisters who are incredibly intelligent and invent all sorts of things in their lab (think pretty much the opposite of Dexter’s Laboratory). One of those sisters has an unwanted admirer: a fat boy named Eugene who goes by the villain alias of Bling-Bling Boy and is basically this show’s version of Dexter’s Lab’s Mandark. Over the course of the series’ seasons, Johnny Test and Bling-Bling Boy have become nemeses, sometimes even in the superhero sense, and have had episodes devoted to their facing off.
In the second of these instances, Bling-Bling Boy enacts a plan to get closer to Susan Test by regressing and disguising himself as a child they have to babysit. On to his plan and expecting a “friend” of his own to come over soon, Johnny wants Bling-Bling gone. Unfortunately, Bling-Bling brought with him a stroller outfitted with his own technology, conveniently included within it a regression ray that he uses to turn Johnny back into a toddler. Caught in the beam along with Johnny is the family’s pet dog and Johnny’s best friend Dukey, who gets regressed into a puppy as well. This quickly gives Bling-Bling the upper hand as he knocks them away, but his priorities with Susan are still in order and he focuses on her attention. Taking this time to address their situation, Dukey comments on the humiliation to ensue when Johnny’s “friend” Sissy comes over, saying “you’re 2 and Sissy’s gonna rib you for still being in training pants”. The two need to fix things and fast, attempting to do so by snatching Bling-Bling away from the sisters and trying to force him into turning them back. Bling-Bling declines and fights back, making Johnny humorously take out his crudely-detailed training pants and hurl them at the villain. However, Bling-Bling quickly puts them on the run again when he threatens to make them even younger. This makes adorable puppy Dukey make another great observation in saying “he’s gonna zap us into embryos!”. Eventually, the three get knocked into a daycare center, where Dukey quickly gets bombarded by other babies that want to hug and pet him. Johnny and Bling-Bling are now left to fight one-on-one, using stuffed animals and swords made of LEGOs as weapons. During the fight, the two have to go through the daycare’s naptime and snack time, but just resume the fighting afterwards. It’s a rather seesaw battle – in that a part of it literally takes place on a seesaw – but eventually Bling-Bling is defeated and is forced into turning Johnny back, Bling-Bling waving his removed diaper as a white flag of surrender. When Bling-Bling tries to trick Johnny and sets the ray to regress him instead, Johnny’s sisters appear and snatch Bling-Bling from his terminal. In the end, Bling-Bling gets humiliatingly babied by the Test sisters and the earlier victory teaches Johnny how to defeat Sissy in the video game he’d been practicing.
Despite the use of regression in a combat scenario, I think it’s the commentary on situations that makes me like this instance of regression the most. I love so many of the lines said by the regressed characters in this episode, and I’ve even tried inserting them in some stories and RPs of my own.
Here’s a link to the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ESyO-WH1SaA
3. Fairly Odd Parents: “Channel Chasers” (movie, S4 E25, 2004)
I don’t watch Nickelodeon at all anymore, but I used to back when this show and Jimmy Neutron were the main attractions. Those familiar with Fairly Odd Parents know it’s far from shy with its baby and regression content, and if I wanted to I could have probably dug up a couple of other examples from it. However, this one is the most satisfying for me, although it somewhat cheats by offering two separate instances of age regression in its feature-length runtime.
The first instance appears a short time after the movie’s main premise begins. In order to escape his parents’ grounding him and further punishment from his babysitter Vicky, Timmy Turner wishes for a magical remote that will insert him into the television itself. His fairy godparents Cosmo and Wanda comply, and in Timmy goes. After a couple of enjoyable reference programs, Timmy ends up in a Rugrats parody show called Carpet Critters and finds himself to have been turned into a diapered baby to blend in. At first excited to take part in “baby adventures”, Timmy looks around at the other babies to find them more average than the ones found in Rugrats. When he asks himself what he’s supposed to do now, his diaper fills with mess and bloats obviously under him on cue. The messing is complete with bulges and prominent green stink lines, and let’s not forget the addition of flies that appear around it too. Timmy seems amused by this, saying “hey, this show writes itself!”, and then it zooms out to Cosmo and Wanda watching him. When Timmy starts crawling away in his full diaper, Wanda asks “where’s he going?” and Cosmo cleverly responds “he’s a baby; he’s going in his diapers!” At that, Timmy unfortunately brings up his remote and switches to another program.
In the time it takes to get to the second instance of regression, Vicky has obtained a magic remote of her own and gone inside television in order to reach the dictator channel and become ruler of the world. Eventually Timmy realizes this and attempts to stop her, assisted by a version of himself from the future where Vicky succeeds. Eventually, however, it becomes up to present Timmy to stop her, and in the television program violent enough to attract them both beforehand no less. During the fight, Timmy realizes that he needs to progress to an age where he no longer has fairy godparents in order to disable their powers and therefore stop Vicky. He accomplishes this by using his remote’s fast-forward button, but as a consequence a fairy taxi comes to take Cosmo and Wanda away. In order to prevent being taken away from Timmy, Wanda instructs Cosmo to regress Timmy so he’s young enough for them again. Cosmo does as instructed a little too well, as he turns Timmy into a baby. Seeming to have been mentally regressed as well this time, Timmy puts his remote in his mouth and then obviously messes himself again. This time it’s not quite as detailed as in the Carpet Critters segment, but it’s something. After Wanda realizes Cosmo’s mistake, she instructs him to make him his normal age of 10, which he does. Timmy rejoices, but he also asks “why do my pants smell bad?” aside.
Even though the second instance is more active regression, I’m more-so a fan of the first sequence. Despite being an entertaining parody of Rugrats, the sequence offers a little better commentary from the characters. I do prefer regression victims that are still aware of their situation and not mentally regressed as well.
Here’s a link if you’d like to watch Channel Chasers: http://www.watchcartoononline.com/t.....hannel-chasers
I will also give an honorable mention to the episode “Crime Wave”, as even though it doesn’t have regression, it has a great focus on baby content =3
4. Codename Kids Next Door: 3 different episodes
Codename Kids Next Door is in my opinion one of the greatest shows ever to come to Cartoon Network, and it might possibly be my favorite to air on the channel. The premise of the series is perfect and brilliant, and so much motivation and nostalgia came, comes, and will come for me from this series. In fact, this series has been so good that I have three different episodes with regression material packed within, and I just have to talk about them all!
a. “Operation F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N.” (E30, 2004)
This particular episode is such an unfortunate double-edged sword, being the most stimulating yet the least aired of the three. It’s so rare, in fact, that in all these years that it’s existed I have only seen it two or three times. I also unfortunately could not find a link for it online, so if anyone does PLEASE let me know!
The plot of the episode revolves around a student at Gallagher Elementary by the name of Leaky Leona, who has been a student there for an unusually long time. It is revealed that a secret passageway in the girls’ bathroom contains the illustrious Fountain of Youth, which Leona has been using to remain young. Once she has led the members of Sector V there, however, it becomes regression city as she betrays them and starts spraying them with a water gun filled with the water. The constant enemies The Delightful Children From Down The Lane appear as well, but only to eventually get knocked into the Fountain and regress themselves. A while after that, they bring up a giant robot and, while making adorably simple babified sentences, they end up accidentally destroying the Fountain of Youth altogether. Leona escapes with Sector V, and once they’re out the sector grows back up into their normal selves while she turns into an old lady. That’s all I remember, and the info I found online couldn’t tell me anything more. Sorry ^^;
b. “Operation C.A.B.L.E.-T.V.” (S1 E9a, 2003)
I’m breaking up the reverse chronological order a bit here, as this episode came before the last one I’m discussing, but I need to cover this one so that one makes a little more sense.
In this episode, Sector V confronts a television executive because his satellites are conflicting with theirs. However, this particular executive turns out to be a grown man apparently trapped in the body of a baby. Who saw THAT coming??? The infant executive, named Mr. B. (wonder what THAT stands for :P), gets so angry during their meeting that he accidentally wets himself and needs a change. While he’s being cleaned up by his employees, he comes up with the idea to turn the Kids Next Door into an after-school television special. Sector V doesn’t exactly like this idea, but they don’t have to put up with it for long. It is eventually revealed that Mr. B. plans to use his satellites as a regression beam that will turn everyone into babies so he’s no longer looked down upon. Using a device hidden within his cigar, Mr. B. activates the beam within the studio where Sector V’s show is being filmed, and some camera operators and other employees are regressed into infants. In an especially humorous instance, a giant robot inside the studio gets hit with the beam and turns into a toaster. While Mr. B. is gloating, however, the beam goes right over him as well. Since he’s already a baby, he doesn’t change physically, but instead gets mentally regressed and immediately begins bawling like a real baby. Mr. B.’s employees from before, who are now revealed to be his parents, quickly pick him up and tell Sector V that they’ll raise him properly this time.
c. “Operation G.R.O.W.-U.P.” (S1 E13, 2003)
Before “Operation C.A.B.L.E.-T.V.” ends, viewers see the hand(s) of the Delightful Children From Down The Lane snatch Mr. B.’s cigar device without anyone noticing. In this episode, the Delightful Children put the device to use by turning Nigel Uno, a.k.a. Number One, into an adult. Nigel fortunately doesn’t get decommissioned like other K.N.D. members that become too old, but upon his own will he separates himself from Sector V and finds a job as an ice cream salesman. In a desperate attempt to get Number One back to his usual self, the rest of Sector V confronts the Delightful Children. During this confrontation, the cigar device resurfaces and both groups grab at it, causing them all to fluctuate in age. This is where the age regression comes in, as they are all momentarily regressed into babies before skipping to another age. In this scenario, their clothes change with them as they did in “Operation F.O.U.N.T.A.I.N.”. Eventually Nigel comes to the rescue and is able to turn himself back. And that’s about it ^^;
5. Futurama: “Teenage Mutant Leela’s Hurdles” (S4 E9, 2003)
I still stand by my statement that Futurama is an overall better series than The Simpsons. Matt Groening and the other writers are geniuses, even right down to their titles for episodes. This one was actually an annoyance to find, though, as the title apparently went over my head. It’s rather obvious now that I look at it, but initially I was looking for something regarding Professor Farnsworth, as the episode began its focus on him. Anyway, I’ve found it. This example is from a series that’s meant to be more “mature” compared to these other programs, but it well deserves to be included here.
The episode begins with the rest of Planet Express becoming rather annoyed with just how old Professor Farnsworth has been acting lately, and they eventually sign him up for a youthening spa treatment. Once there, Farnsworth is told to take a dip in some tar pits that are literally supposed to take some of the old age out of him, and it ends up working a little too well. It gets a little out of control as tar ends up covering every Planet Express employee, and it makes Farnsworth middle-aged and the others teenagers. To appropriate the title, Leela uses this opportunity to spend more time with her mutant parents, practically forcing them to be the stern parents of a teenager. Teenage Fry tries going on a few actual dates with her during this time as well, emulating cute teenage romance. Meanwhile, Farnsworth offers to try and progress everyone back to normal, but Leela refuses. When the experiment is attempted with everyone else, it turns out to only enhance the effects. Now, Farnsworth is in his 20s or 30s and the others are kids again. And to make matters worse, they are all now continuously regressing. Zoidberg humorously changes into various crazy forms during his regression. During a scene where still-teenage Leela is reading the single-digit-aged others a bedtime story, she stumbles upon the team’s solution: the legendary Fountain of Aging. By the time they get there, Farnsworth is a toddler while the rest of the team are infants. Being not a part of Farnsworth’s experiment, Leela is fortunately still a teenager, and she comments saying “we’d better hurry; they only have one change of pants!”. And Zoidberg is…whatever the heck Zoidberg is. Farnsworth tries getting the rest of the regressed team in carefully, but they end up getting pulled far out by the whirlpool, now in danger of aging too much. Leela then jumps in to save them, compromising her chance at staying a teenager and being looked after by her parents. Eventually, everyone is saved, and some apparently end up a few years younger than they were before all of this. The difference in the end isn’t noticeable, though.
There’s a lot to take away from this half-hour episode. As age regression is its main focus, there is a decent amount of time spent on a lot of different things. Leela wants to receive the average teenager experience, Fry enacts adorable young romance he’s wanted to express toward her for so long, Amy reverts into her young fat self and gets made fun of by her parents and some others, and so on. As to be expected from Futurama, there are also some great lines in this one. A favorite of mine comes from Farnsworth, who says “we will suffer a fate worse than death: PRE-LIFE! …then death.”
6. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy: “The Halls of Time” (E21c, 2003)
This is another beloved Cartoon Network series of mine, as I love the premise and colorful characters. The show has produced some legendary episodes and specials “Keeper of the Reaper”, are you kidding???), but the instance of regression I’m bringing up is simply a segment of one of the early episodes.
Billy and Irwin are supposedly going on a field trip to the Glue Factory, but when the bus stops and the old driver sees Grim with Billy she quickly speeds past them. Grim then comes up with another plan: to take Billy, Mandy, and Irwin on a tour of the Halls of Time. There, Father Time reveals that everyone’s existence is kept track of by an hourglass filled with the sands of time, and when their hourglass runs out they die. Billy and Irwin eventually ditch the tour and go snooping around on their own to find their own hourglasses. In the process, Irwin finds his older brother’s hourglass and shakes it up a bit, leading to showing his brother fluctuating in age while trying to hit on a girl back at school. Billy finds his dad’s hourglass and realizes it’s about to run out, the viewer seeing that his dad’s choking on a chicken bone. To remedy this, Billy turns his dad’s hourglass upside down and puts it back that way, and we get to see the dad’s choking sequence done in reverse. Billy and Irwin eventually find their hourglasses and plan to take them along with Mandy’s and Grim’s as souvenirs, but they are stopped by the others and told to put all the hourglasses back. After they leave, the group starts to regress. Billy shrinks first, then Irwin, then Mandy, and lastly Grim. Mandy makes the observation that the idiots Billy and Irwin put all their hourglasses back upside down, and that they have to go fix them before they all disappear. Grim tells the pilot to take them back to the Halls of Time, and Grim steals Father Time’s scythe in order to swoop toward their hourglasses. They first arrive at Irwin’s hourglass but get there too late as he soon disappears. Humorously, this is the only instance in the entire series where Mandy cares about Irwin disappearing. The three remaining then get younger, Billy and Mandy becoming external embryos while Grim just gets smaller. They find Billy’s hourglass opposite Irwin’s, but they are once again too late and Billy disappears from his embryo. They notice Mandy’s hourglass and realize that they have enough time to fix it, but Grim – being the only one left big enough to do so – chooses to wait and forces her to disappear as well, laughing evilly. Then Grim gets smaller once again, now at the size that Billy and the others were originally. He quickly finds his hourglass, but he can’t lift it as it is much bigger than the others. He quickly gets smaller again, now in a baby stage, and he is forced to sit down next to the hourglass. Knowing it’s too late, Grim waves goodbye before he too disappears. It isn’t shown, but since Billy’s Dad’s hourglass was put back upside down as well, one can deduce that he eventually disappeared too.
The obvious thing to note here is the sense of peril and desperation in the need to hurry and fix the hourglasses before disappearing. The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy is a rather crude show, so it stands to reason that its instance of age regression is more morbid, cynical, and unkind compared to the others here that result in happy endings. That’s what the show is like, and it is also one of those shows where everything returns to normal at the beginning of every next episode. So even though it seemed like they were unborn and disappeared, a lot more adventures of the group are still depicted later on. So, no harm done.

7. Jimmy Neutron Boy Genius: “Granny Baby” (S1 E4a, 2002)
This is another great series that kept me watching Nickelodeon, as a lot of cool things happened in this show. As an aftermath to Nickelodeon’s full-length movie featuring the same character, this show was created and went on for quite a while. I consider this show and Fairly Odd Parents to be Nickelodeon’s two real gems of programming. Among other great episodes, Jimmy Neutron had an episode that focused on regression, which is pretty simple in premise and fun in execution.
The premise of the episode lies with Jimmy’s grandmother coming to watch him while his parents take a trip. Jimmy quickly gets tired of Granny’s griping and long stories to the point where, even though his parents told him not to do any experiments on her, he concocts a youth serum and slips it to her. It seems he made the serum a little too strong, however, as Granny Neutron regresses into a baby. Granny says she feels great after the regression, only concerned that she’s now topless. Jimmy is curious as to where Granny got the diaper she’s now in, and she replies saying “I was already wearing it”. Immediately after that, we hear a gross sound and green stink fumes appear as granny messes herself, complaining that she needs her “diadee” changed. Jimmy doesn’t want to change her, and his mechanical dog Goddard refuses as well. Granny keeps messing herself as Goddard runs through the options of who is qualified to change diapers, and they end up on the popular girl Cindy who isn’t on good terms with him. Conveniently, Cindy is operating a garage sale just across the street, and Jimmy takes granny Neutron over to her. As Jimmy at first doesn’t explain who the baby is, Cindy and her friend find the baby adorable until the smell of the full diaper gets to them. As much as Cindy doesn’t want to help him, she says that according to her “nurturing female instincts” she must. The baby then talks to Cindy and her friend, making Jimmy have to explain that it’s his grandmother. Granny states that she’s got a rash brewing and is getting nauseated by her own fumes at the moment, so Jimmy and Cindy take her to the store for diapers and what Jimmy needs for the antidote. At the store, Granny Neutron can’t help but keep talking, and others around become interested in the talking baby. Eventually, the mob wants to hear more and end up chasing Jimmy back to his house. During the chase, Jimmy gets a call from his mom who says they’ll be home early. Once home, Jimmy comes up with a way to repel the crowd and come up with the antidote in time to progress Granny back to normal before his parents return home. One of Jimmy’s friends, Carl, comes over then and says he’s really thirsty, and Granny hands him the rest of the antidote. After drinking it, Carl becomes old like Granny Neutron and says he has a “powerful urge to dance”, to which Granny obliges him.
The only real peril here is Jimmy not wanting his parents to know that he went against their wishes. Granny Neutron generally likes being a baby again, as she seems to embrace a lot of the infantile nomenclature and customs. Whether she does it consciously or not is kind of up in the air still, as Carl’s progression later gives him the urge to dance. So I suppose this taught me how regression and progression can cause certain impulses and urges to arise again within the victim, whether they’re good or bad. There was also a lot of messing too, so there’s that ^#^;;

8. Courage the Cowardly Dog: “The Tower of Dr. Zalost” (S2 E13, 2001)
If my all-time favorite Cartoon Network series isn’t Codename Kids Next Door, it’s got to be Courage the Cowardly Dog. This series is bursting with references and nostalgia, doing such extraordinary and fascinating things with such a simple premise. This show has put out a couple of instances of age regression, and there’s a more substantial example in the “Little Muriel” episode. However, that one wasn’t all that pleasing to me. I’d much rather discuss this one, which is a mere tiny segment attached to one of the series’ most profound and fascinating episodes.
The half-hour-long episode begins with Dr. Zalost, who simply wants a ridiculous amount of funding for his unnecessary project. When the committee rightfully declines his offer, he goes bat-shit crazy and flaunts his menacing moving tower around town, firing cannonballs from it that don’t hurt people but instead make them too depressed to even move. Although grumpy old husband Eustace is immune to these cannonballs (who saw THAT coming? :P), Muriel gets hit with one and falls into a deep depression. As a result, Courage springs into action and infiltrates the tower. Here, Courage enters a stock room of the tower that’s full of the cannonballs, and he encounters Zalost’s small rat lackey, simply named Rat. Manipulated by the power of the depression cannonballs, Rat becomes super-sized and very menacing. Before becoming depressed, Muriel was baking a batch of her famous “happy plums”, which could make anyone happy according to her. Armed with Muriel’s confection, Courage slings some of the plums into Rat’s roaring maw. Once he swallows them, Rat not only reverts to his normal self, but goes back even further and becomes a tiny diapered baby rat. Even though the plums were supposed to make him happy, the newly regressed Rat begins bawling. Still, it is revealed that Muriel’s plums counteract the effects of Zalost’s cannonballs. After escaping the tower, Courage quickly feeds some of the plums to Muriel and she returns to normal. Zalost gets out of his tower and pursues on foot, entering the home. With Courage and Muriel hidden under the dining room table, Zalost approaches it and notices the plums atop it. He for some reason decides to eat some and has a reaction. By the time he looks under the table, though, Zalost is made happy by the plums. Soon after this, the still-regressed and still-crying Rat comes to him. Zalost acknowledges him, picks him up, and gives the poor baby rat a cuddle. As a result, Rat finally stops crying, and he even smiles and lets out a happy sigh. Isn’t that nice?
There are the obvious polar opposites of power and youth here, this time brought about by the opposites of Zalost’s sad cannonballs and Muriel’s happy plums. In Rat’s case, sadness brought power and rage, while happiness made him helpless and at first alone. But when Zalost was made happy as well, they reunited and were made truly happy again. This time around, in a rare occurrence, I mainly focus on the implications rather than what really happened. Perhaps I should reverse-engineer Muriel’s plum recipe into making some happy cannonballs and go around “making everyone happy” ^#^
Sorry for the bad quality, but at least I found this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BmrSAAkToho
9. Digimon: “Digimon The Movie” (movie, 2000)
Those who know me well enough should know that this particular instance of age regression has an unusually potent effect on me whenever I watch it. After recently watching it again 14 years after its release, it still shakes me up and rules my perception of things around me. When the film first came out, I was all setup to go see it in theaters with a friend. In the most unlucky circumstance, however, that day I ended up getting sick and vomiting everywhere. Some time after that, I received a VHS copy of the film as a gift, and I immediately became obsessed with it. For me, the movie is a classic that I will always cherish, as both a great movie overall and an unusually potent source of age regression. I don’t care if it ripped off of “Summer Wars”!
First of all, let me describe how the basic premise of Digimon itself has a constant aspect of age regression to it. Much like Pokémon, Digimon can evolve – or as they call it, “Digivolve” – into larger and more powerful forms. The difference within Digimon, though, is that they can both evolve and devolve at will. The different stages of their evolution, known as levels, do also imply thresholds of age for each Digimon, and they are literally how a Digimon “grows up”. The Digimon Wiki categorizes the generally defined levels of Digimon into two baby phases (Baby/Egg and In-Training levels), one child phase (Rookie level), one defined adult phase (Champion level), and then two other transcendent phases after that (Ultimate and Mega forms). You’ll need to know these terms for things to make sense in a bit. Through the evolution and devolution that Digimon undertake, most of the time at their own disclosure, they encounter very fleeting statuses of power and age simultaneously. This is why I as a fan of age regression am into Digimon, and every other fan of age regression should be too.
Now, the first full-length Digimon movie was separated into three sections. The first section is taken up by flashbacks explaining how the main protagonist of Digimon’s first season, Ty, acquired his Digimon. Then, it skips ahead several years to a point where an extremely dangerous Digimon-based virus is overwhelming the web and hacking major aspects of society. As Digimon are data-based, it is up to Ty and his other Digimon-owning friends to send their Digimon into the data streams to stop the virus. They eventually succeed, but it doesn’t last forever. The third and final segment skips ahead a few more years to focus on the protagonists from the series’ second season, where the real trouble begins. Here, the virus has been traced to a Digimon known as Kokomon, previously owned by a boy named Willis. Willis is usually a loner and blames himself for what happened to Kokomon’s possession, but eventually the protagonists meet him and vow to fight alongside him to put an end to Kokomon’s evil. This is the part we’ll be focusing on: the final battle of the film.
When the battle begins, the protagonists’ Digimon all Digivolve into their Champion/adult levels, being the Rookie/child level as usual by default. Kokomon digivolves too, however, presumably into his transcendent level after Champion as he was pretty big before. This presumption would also explain how the fight essentially goes nowhere for the protagonists, as Kokomon is able to handle them all too easily. Eventually, though, when it seems that Kokomon is surrounded, he disappears into a pool of water. Some of the protagonists consider the fight over at that point, but Willis knows too well that they haven’t even scratched the surface. Suddenly, the colors of the terrain around them become inverted and Kokomon reemerges in yet another transcendent form. His maw gapes and he fires cannonballs in all directions, and these seem to have an unusual effect. A couple of the Digimon are shown to have reverted back into their In-Training levels, then at least re-upgrade to Rookie level. That doesn’t seem too bad, as they can just Digivolve back up to Champion again, right? That actually doesn’t seem to be the case anymore, as we discover when a third one Veemon (the Rookie level of the blue Digimon in the group) is shown straining himself in an attempt to Digivolve again. The sound of failure resonates as he stumbles backward, saying “I think I strained something trying to Digivolve”. We now understand that the protagonist Digimon have had their power stripped from them and are unable to acquire it again for the time being, and they still have to face an even larger Kokomon. Given justification to his now jester-like appearance, the new larger Kokomon uses an ability to pull in all of the Rookies and begins juggling them. There’s obviously a giant gap in power at this point, and all of the poor Rookie Digimon are rendered helpless. There is one instance where the Rookies execute a collaborative attack and seem to injure Kokomon, but he instantaneously recovers and begins pummeling them again. He continues absolutely punishing all of the Rookies for a while, only stopping when two other protagonists and their Digimon appear in supposedly transcendent forms. For some reason, they remain unaffected by Kokomon’s ability. I sense a double standard here, as I’ve deduced that if the other Digimon were beyond the Champion level before the inversion they might not have been affected. Anyway, Kokomon begins taking things a step further by age regressing all of the human protagonists, effectively bringing time back to when the virus first attacked him. This event was foreshadowed for a while, as Kokomon kept saying “go back” throughout the movie. The two late-comer Digimon are still unaffected, and as the human characters are now reduced to toddlerhood one of them comments “before we know it we’ll be changing diapers”. The two enact a series of power-ups that enable two of the Rookie-level Digimon to Digivolve again, but afterwards the two late-comers are themselves reverted back into Rookie-levels. Whether it was because of the process to awaken the golden Digi-Eggs or because Kokomon struck them remains uncertain. Two of the human characters activate the two golden Digi-Eggs, allowing their Digimon to “Golden Armor Digivolve”, go inside of Kokomon, destroy the virus part of him, and eventually return everyone else to normal. Whew, sorry for the long explanation there ^#^;;
It’s perhaps less weird to say here that I actually am more fascinated with the Digimon’s predicament in this battle than the regression of their human masters. As I’ve explained above, it’s that whole aspect of having power but having it taken away and preventing it from being used. Digivolving is how Digimon age and obtain power, and Kokomon was a fierce opponent because he could strip them of their primary abilities. The human characters were already relatively useless to the ongoing fight, so their regression actually didn’t affect things very much. The addition of the sequence is still very much appreciated though, Digimon creators, so thanks!
I’ve actually found a YouTube link to the entire feature film, which can be viewed here: http://youtu.be/xrBMMUn4_cQ
If you’re just looking for the regression sequences, I would skip to about 1 hour and 11 minutes into the film. From there, you can catch glimpses of how the Digimon looked right before their devolution.
10. Johnny Bravo: “Look Who’s Drooling” (E30a, 1999)
It’s been so long since I’ve seen any Johnny Bravo that I’ve apparently mistaken a scene to be in this episode when it was actually in one called “The Incredible Shrinking Johnny”, which is also enjoyable. Fortunately, most of what I want to discuss is about “Look Who’s Drooling”, which is actual age regression as opposed to the other episode’s size altering. I wasn’t able to find the full episode for this either, so fortunately this description will be short ^^;
After eating some very spicy chili, Johnny gulps down some liquid which ends up being a regression formula. As a result, he ends up regressing into a baby. He eventually returns to his mother, who turns out to be ecstatic about Johnny’s change. Mama diapers him and unveils all of his old baby clothes that she’s kept hidden this whole time, ultimately deciding to dress Johnny in an adorable pink bunny suit. She keeps coddling him for a while until eventually Johnny gets put in daycare, which he decides to put up with because it’s operated by an attractive woman. When things are about to go his way, Johnny suddenly age progresses back to normal and scares off the woman. He then reemerges in his now torn up bunny suit.
From this sequence, one can take away the humiliation factor that comes as a consequence of reduced age. Mama had apparently been waiting for an opportunity like this to come along ever since Johnny hit puberty, and that’s an idea that I’ve kind of taken to heart with a few of my own stories. I’d like to think all or most parents would like to have their kids be young again.
As I said before, I wasn’t able to find the whole episode online. However, I found a segment of it for you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sH1CCgbIy8U
11. Darkwing Duck: “You Sweat Your Life” (S1 E22, 1991)
Remember when one of the Disney channels was actually GOOD? If you do, then you know that channel was Toon Disney. The channel had a lot of awesome shows on during the 90s, such as Blazing Dragons and Hercules, and it also aired some awesome non-Disney movies such as The Secret of NIMH and All Dogs go to Heaven 2. Along with this other awesome content was the classic series Darkwing Duck, which focused on a middle-aged duck named Drake Mallard who insists on fighting crime even though he has no superpowers or hardly any gadgets!
In this episode, Drake and his friend Herb Muddlefoot take a trip to a health spa operated by secret villain Jock Newbody, who is secretly trying to create his own Fountain of Youth. In order to complete it, he must obtain the final necessary ingredient: a feather of Darkwing Duck. Eventually, Darkwing and Herb are captured and Jock acquires the feather, turning the decorative fountain inside the facility into a functioning Fountain of Youth. Jock scoops some of the water up in a mug and gulps it down, and the effects are immediately apparent as they change him into a young adult again. Darkwing attempts to attack the new younger Jock, but it only proves to be completely ineffective. Afterwards, Darkwing and Herb are imprisoned in a stock room of the facility, and the cruel villain even locks up his two henchmen. Darkwing and Herb are able to escape when girthy Herb manages to do a sit-up, which allows Darkwing to reach the ropes tying him to the above bar. The two then intercept Jock as he’s attempting to salvage all of the remaining water for transport and eventual use later on. Darkwing is still unable to harm Jock, but Herb’s love for his wife – as well as his size – gives him the force needed for the situation. Caught in a whirlwind caused by Herb twirling around Darkwing, the three end up in the still-full fountain and reemerge as cloth-diapered babies, Jock complaining at the others before they tease him back. Afterward, though, it is revealed that Jock has also developed an antidote for the youth elixir, and he leaps out to get it. Before he drinks it, however, his two lackeys snatch him up and steal the antidote. They snatch up Darkwing as well, but Herb is able to get past them and returns with the bomb they were threatened with earlier. The two lackeys fall onto the explosives as they are headed toward the fountain, where they go off and destroy it entirely. A now defeated Jock goes up to the destroyed fountain and cries that his chance for eternal youth is gone, leaving Darkwing and Herb to drink the antidote before they apprehend him. Don’t worry, the lackeys didn’t die; they just ended up as babies as well and are locked up along with their babified boss. After everything’s taken care of, Darkwing sneaks away and returns undisguised as Drake, and Herb feels obligated to tell Drake the whole story on the 13-hour-long ride back home.
I got a little lazy inserting the stuff I liked within that description, but I’ll say here that it’s entertaining to observe just how quickly their personalities change following the regression. The fight quickly turns into childish whining and teasing. Even though the sequence of regression isn’t all that long and there’s no diaper usage or anything, I still find this instance very entertaining for a few reasons. There’s the drastic change in personality as I just mentioned, and there is also the change of power and momentum as a result of the regression, as is a constant theme with most of these past examples. Let’s not forget that after the three of them reemerged from the fountain, Darkwing was finally able to surpass Jock for some undisclosed reason.
Here’s a link to the full episode: http://youtu.be/YyWtUGf1rxg
Those are all of my favorite instances of age regression that I’ve experienced over the years.
There are a few more I could’ve mentioned, such as American Dad’s “1600 Candles” and Family Guy’s more recent “Yug Ylimaf”. There are also live-action examples, such as Goosebumps’s “The Cuckoo Clock of Doom” and the movie “Super Babies: Baby Geniuses 2” that I’ve also enjoyed, but the ones I’ve gone through have made the most impact on me.
Hopefully you guys feel like you know me a little better from reading through this. And if you’d like to share yours, or perhaps mention one that I might have overlooked, please feel free!
And I do realize that YouTube videos are a very fleeting thing as well, so if any of the links I gave stop working, PLEASE let me know!
I also plan to do another of these journals featuring my favorite Weight Gain sequences as well, and I’ll also have an announcement to make that has something to do with one of the sequences listed above, so stay tuned! And thanks oh so much for reading! :D
All caught up guys! :D
General | Posted 11 years agoYou heard right!
I was surprisingly motivated enough to update this gallery with all the text pieces I wanted in just a few days!
However, I want to let you know that I have chosen to not put the two "The Deal" chapters on here.
I have absolutely no intention of continuing that story now, and since it's dead I saw no point in putting it here.
Granted, a few other stories I put on here may be dead too, but at least I feel confident in them and may eventually come back to them.
Anyway, in the past, since there weren't any stories on here, I used to only post new stories onto my DA account.
This was pretty much only the case with the two "Kodi's Story" chapters though, and I did take the time to tell my FA watchers by journal when a new story was posted over there.
Now that I'm fully caught up on this account, though, I will be able to post the story in both places.
Therefore, this account will now remain fully in synchronization with my deviantArt account. No more need to worry!

Stories finally coming...hopefully
General | Posted 11 years agoSo it was one of my two New Years resolutions to re-post my stories on both this account and my general one.
You can see how well that's gone.
Hopefully, though, I'm about to fix that just in time.
Before I explain, I'd like to ask a bit of a question to everyone:
Do your RP and/or story ideas come to you in the form of a certain type of media?
In the past, mine have come to me in the form of ideas for movie sequels or video games and things like that.
More recently, though, I've been making them as ideas for tv shows for kids.
I've come up with a couple of cartoon show ideas now for the purpose of RP-ing. Only getting through a small portion of RP-ing the first idea with a friend, but having planned much more than that, I already got an idea for a second one.
This new idea deals with baby superheroes, which is something I've tried doing with some people in the past but with some less than satisfactory results. This time, though, I hunkered down and planned it out in the format of a tv show, by episode and all. I'm now at the point where I have some 30 episodes planned, and the idea still needs an ending and some middle blanks filled in. After that, I'm going to start RP-ing the idea with a good friend of mine, the same person I did the undisclosed first tv show RP idea with (you know who you are).
This time around planning out the idea, though, I realized the format could work well another way also.
Since I'm feeling pretty confident about my idea here, at least in that a certain few of you should be entertained by it, I've come to the decision that I also want to post it as a story for you all to be able to read.
The planning of this idea has been very liberating for me; I feel like I've been able to shed my skin and show all the things I love about AR and baby stuff in one concentrated premise.
So if this sounds like something any of you are interested in, I'd love to hear that. Once the idea is solidly constructed, I will begin RP-ing it with my friend, then the episodes we've done will be turned into prose for you all to enjoy.
A small thorn in the side of this process is that, because I'm self-diagnosed O.C.D., I can't with a good conscience start posting the story here if the prose from the deviantart version of this account is left unposted before it.
Those who have been watching me long enough will recall that I originally did begin posting stories on here too, but at one point I got bat-shit angry/depressed and deleted all my submissions. I did set out to restore my account here, but posting stories to FA is so damn inconvenient when all your work is saved as .docx files rather than the .txt FA wants in order for the story to show up.
As a result, I'm going to be trying my best to restore this account to its former glory. I'm going to try and get all (or at least my favorite) of my stories back up on here, just so I can feel better about the chronology of my gallery.
So I hope to treat you guys with a lot more activity here real soon, and hopefully you'll enjoy!
You can see how well that's gone.
Hopefully, though, I'm about to fix that just in time.
Before I explain, I'd like to ask a bit of a question to everyone:
Do your RP and/or story ideas come to you in the form of a certain type of media?
In the past, mine have come to me in the form of ideas for movie sequels or video games and things like that.
More recently, though, I've been making them as ideas for tv shows for kids.
I've come up with a couple of cartoon show ideas now for the purpose of RP-ing. Only getting through a small portion of RP-ing the first idea with a friend, but having planned much more than that, I already got an idea for a second one.
This new idea deals with baby superheroes, which is something I've tried doing with some people in the past but with some less than satisfactory results. This time, though, I hunkered down and planned it out in the format of a tv show, by episode and all. I'm now at the point where I have some 30 episodes planned, and the idea still needs an ending and some middle blanks filled in. After that, I'm going to start RP-ing the idea with a good friend of mine, the same person I did the undisclosed first tv show RP idea with (you know who you are).

TMI Tuesday
General | Posted 11 years agoI'm actually on time this time, so sure, why not? Ask me things, preferably not in the TMI category but whatever.
Just letting everyone know
General | Posted 11 years agoI'm going to be spending time with family for the next few days, as big things are happening for them.
As a result, won't be on IMs and such very much if at all. Notes here will likely be the best way to contact me, despite my phone for those with the number.
I'll be fully operational again on Tuesday.
See you guys then.

General | Posted 11 years agoSo umm, I've never done this before.
I had every intention of doing it yesterday, but things came up and I wasn't able to get on much.
So I'll do it today! Ask me stuff!
Doesn't necessarily have to be TMI stuff (would actually prefer if it isn't ^^;), just general things.

Dream / Fantasy RP Idea (Fat / WG / Vore)
General | Posted 12 years agoAs a lot of you know, over the past few years I’ve been subliminally expressing my growing interest in fattening and weight gain in a furry / feathery / scaly context.
It’s sort of always been there, as the other fetishes were. I just chose to reveal and accept it a little later than the others.
But there have been tons of different shows, movies, and especially artists helping to contribute to this interest, far too many to name.
I must name one, however: Duo Radon.
He or she has a personal website showing their various works, and I first found and chose to focus on the Comics and Serial Pages section.
Here’s a link to it:
http://www.duoradon.com/main/artwor.....cs/comics.html
This area of the site holds quite a few different comics of the fattening and weight gain variety. A lot of them featured normal anthros…but there were also a good amount that leaned more towards ferals.
I usually focus more on anthro activities myself…but I have to say that most of the comics I prefer on the site are the feral ones. They each set up societies of creatures that come across greater sources of food one way or another, whether individually or not. They featured things such as large cabbage patches for a rabbit to eat from, a broken and well-stocked food cart abandoned in the wilderness that a hungry wolf enjoys, and of course giant buffets that particular characters eat out of stock.
I became so enthralled with this idea of creating a feral community structure based on this kind of variant. And umm...I've kinda developed this idea of a dream or fantasy rp of mine as a result. I don't know exactly who it's suited for; I've shared it with a couple people already and they're not fully into it. Perhaps you’ll think a little differently and have an interest in it.
HERE’S WHAT WE’D DO…
It would involve me and the other player(s) being total ferals out in the wilderness - lions out in the African savannah, for example - and suddenly one day their environment changes a bit in that it acquires a greater food source for them, say there's more antelope or vegetation or human food or whatever. Of course the animals begin to satisfy themselves more and more on the new abundance, and as time goes by it begins to show on their growing bellies. They just slowly eat more and slowly get fatter every day, and eventually it affects their entire group's lifestyle. The women find the greater girth more attractive, the group keeps branching out in a quest for more food in greater size and quantity…so on and so forth. And the rp would just go on and on for days, weeks, months like that.
To use as a reference for weight progression, Duo Radon’s Lion Study series could be used.
http://www.duoradon.com/main/artwor.....s/cc_lion.html
For obvious reasons, that will work best for if lions themselves are used for the rp. Ideally that’s what I’d like to do…but I can also see the perks of wolves or another similar animal in a forest setting over the savannah. I can see a greater variation of events happening in a woodsy setting.
This idea would obviously require a lot of dedication, and at times it would go really slow and focus more on the cultural aspect of the pack or pride or what-not of the ferals. And because of that, the other player(s) and I would probably have to be a few characters each. During the rp, I’d really like to take the time to implement things such as character development and plot lines, along with the obvious and inevitable fattening that’s taking place. This is about making a whole world essentially, or at least a section of it.
And along with the personal weight gain, there would also be some vore involved. Being carnivores in the wilderness in every scenario, there will be smaller and weaker animals for us to prey upon. And these animals may or may not be personified themselves, speaking back to us and such when we’re hunting them down. I guess I could leave that as an option, but just be aware of that.
And as this sort of idea originally came from Duo Radon’s comics, of course we could implement some of those ideas.
Some personal favorites I’d like to include or extract from would be:
- Max Longear stories: http://www.duoradon.com/main/artwor.....axlongear.html [for Wolf?]
- The Greedy Wolf: http://www.duoradon.com/main/artwor.....s/cc_wolf.html [for Wolf?]
- The Fat Wolf: http://www.duoradon.com/main/artwor...../cc_wolf2.html [for Wolf?]
- Darkwulf and Sheema: http://www.duoradon.com/main/artwor....._darkwulf.html [for either]
- Chocolate Factory: http://www.duoradon.com/main/artwor...../cc_choco.html [for Wolf?]
- Oz and Flamedrake: http://www.duoradon.com/main/artwor.....s/cc_OZFD.html [for either]
- Orion and Tank: http://www.duoradon.com/main/artwor.....cc_OrionJ.html [for either]
- Ryuu’s Pet: http://www.duoradon.com/main/artwor.....s/cc_Ryuu.html [for either]
Another big influence for this that I forgot to mention is the Fatty Text Adventure Game submitted by the user ~noone on FA. This also seems to be the person who commissioned the Lion Study series, so how about that ^^
Here’s the link:
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/9373803
A lot of things could be used from that too, such as the Slime creatures and Meat Monster Men that force-feed us. We’re not being realistic with this, so don’t worry ^^
Also I suppose we could also do an anthro version of this by simply rping that game for an extended period of time.
If you really like any of those stories, then perhaps this rp might be for you.
It’s just a feral society of animals that slowly gets fatter. Practically anything can happen within that, even if it doesn’t contribute to the weight gain.
OR…PERHAPS WE COULD DO THIS INSTEAD…
As an alternative to doing the full-fledged, practically never-ending rp, I could perhaps start a figurative pack or pride or what-not.
I would have the people willing to participate establish at least one character for it and – if we’re lions – simply pick a number on the Lion Study as an average size. Beyond that, I would casually contact those people on IMs such as Steam or Skype when they’re on. We briefly share some banter as the characters, some “how are you today, good friend? Quite a girth on you today!” or something to that effect, perhaps engage in a tiny little venture beyond that if the person wishes, and that could be it.
You guys seen that HectorTheWolf pic where Mufasa is complementing Scar’s new belly? Something to that effect.
We just do something like that every now and then, rather than having something consistent running for weeks to months on end. This way, it’s a little more like if my main fursona were talking to your main fursona, instead of having a detached in-depth rp.
So, that’s my idea. I’m just putting it out there in the hopes of perhaps reeling somebody in who’s committed.
I’ve already thrown it out to a few friends and it’s been shot down, so this is sort of the trickling down and the desperate attempt to do it on my part.
I’m not THAT desperate; I still wish to do it as described. But if a few people want to do the alternative option, that’s fine too. Perhaps that will keep me sated enough to dull down the desire to do the whole thing.
If I did perhaps get anyone’s particular attention, feel free to contact me about it.
I can at least offer some more visual stimulation and fat pics to help you visualize the scenario.
I will say that I usually try and get to know people at least a little before going straight into rps. Hopefully you all won’t mind that.
