Could you (those with systems) explain systems to me?

I come across adhd and autism posts everyday and interact freely with them, I also come across systems or system related posts and I avoid interacting with those, not because I don't like them but I fear I will say smth wrong by not understanding them and I don't that I'm avoiding it.

So if you are a system, could you please explain to me about what it is, what it's like and if there's smth you'd like me to know when I'm interacting with either you or other systems? <3

Also if I have said smth that's offending or badly worded, please tell me, I will apologise and fix it as soon as I can! <3

Introduction

What is Age Regression?

Age regression is when someone mentally shifts into a younger state of mind. This can be a voluntary or involuntary experience, and it's often used as a coping mechanism for things like stress, trauma, or mental health struggles. When someone regresses, they may act, think, or feel like a child, toddler, or baby.

It’s non-sexual and should always be SFW.

People might use comfort items like stuffies, pacis, cartoons, or soft blankets.

It helps some people feel safe, comforted, and emotionally secure.

What is Age Dreaming?

Age dreaming (sometimes called age sliding in certain contexts) is when someone daydreams or fantasizes about being a different age, but without actually regressing. It’s more of a creative, fun, or identity-based experience, and isn’t always tied to coping or mental health.

It can be like imagining yourself as a kid, teen, or even a different age entirely.

It’s often more about aesthetic, comfort, or self-expression.

Unlike regression, people in an age dream state usually stay aware of their current age and don’t mentally shift.

Why Might Someone Regress?

1. Mental Health & Coping

To escape overwhelming emotions like anxiety, depression, or stress.

As a way to feel safe during or after trauma or flashbacks.

To manage dissociation or emotional shutdowns.

2. Neurodivergence

Many autistic and ADHD individuals naturally regress when overstimulated, under pressure, or seeking comfort.

Regression can help with emotional regulation or sensory overwhelm.

3. Comfort & Safety

It brings back the warm, safe feeling of being cared for or protected.

Helps with inner healing, especially for unmet childhood needs.

Some regress to recreate a childhood they never had.

4. Inner Child Work

Regression can be part of reconnecting with your inner child.

It allows people to explore past emotions in a safe, nurturing way.

Sometimes encouraged in therapy for healing purposes.

5. Just for Fun!

Some people regress because it’s cozy and fun!

Playing with toys, watching cartoons, or cuddling stuffies brings joy and relaxation—no deep reason needed.

Voluntary vs Involuntary?

Voluntary regression is when someone chooses to enter a younger headspace on purpose.

You decide when, where, and how to regress.

You might use triggers like cartoons, stuffies, or soft music.

It's usually done for comfort, self-care, or fun.

You stay aware of your current age even if you’re acting younger.

Involuntary regression happens without trying or planning it—it just happens, usually in response to emotional or mental triggers.

Can be caused by trauma, stress, overstimulation, or flashbacks.

You might suddenly feel younger, helpless, or confused.

It’s often harder to control or snap out of.

Sometimes people don’t realize they’ve regressed until afterward.

Disclaimers !

Note that age regression/dreaming is ALWAYS 100% NON-KINK/SFW. Age regression is usually used as a coping mechanism; do not make fun of anyone's regression. Respect a regressor's boundaries. SYSTEMS ARE 100% VALID WHEN THEY HAVE LITTLE ALTERS! Terms that are nsfw are such as cgl, ddlg, kink, littlespace (sometimes, unfortunately!) and most abbreviations. Appropriate abbreviations are things like Agere, Agereg, Petre, Agedre, Petdre, Cg (just caregiver, or crgv or a less similar to cgl abbreviation.) SFW meaning safe for work. all age regression is SFW. there is no such thing as NSFW agere; that's just kink invading privacy. Minors & Adults are both capable of age regressing or caregiving. there is not a "right" way to regress other than keeping kink out of the community.

Hello! I'm back with another au idea for you all on this fine day! I hope you enjoy! :D

In this au, Arthur learns of the prophecy of Emrys and the Once and Future King before he learns about Merlin's magic. Because of this, he thinks that the golden age of Albion will result in Merlin becoming Emrys and thus losing his soul to magic. So, to ensure that Merlin is never taken from him by magic, Arthur resolves to make sure that there is no peace in Albion, so the golden age can never come to pass.

While this premise might seem angsty, I personally would see it more as a crackfic where everything Arthur does to try to prevent peace and prosperity winds up making everything more peaceful and prosperous instead!

Arthur would try to plunge Albion into chaos and war in a variety of ways, but all of them backfire on him. As a method of last resort, Arthur repeals the magic ban because he thinks that it'll ruin Camelot forever, only for that to be the last thing that finally brings lasting peace to the kingdom.

At one point during this, Arthur would try to reach out to Morgana on ways to ruin all the peace in the land (since, in his opinion, she's the expert on that), but Morgana realizes that Arthur is trying to burn down Uther's legacy and is going to repeal the magic and takes it to mean that Arthur is finally seeing things her way and decides to be friends with Arthur again, since they're now united in their goals of spreading chaos and ruining everything Uther built. Which would, inevitably, lead to more peace and unity in Camelot, against Arthur's best efforts.

I think that the funniest (or most heartbreaking) part of this entire idea is that Arthur is fully willing to deliberately ruin his kingdom and plunge the land into war if it means keeping Merlin by his side. This is because, in Arthur's mind, nothing Arthur can do to ruin his own kingdom can be as devastating to him as the consequences of Merlin being taken from him.
