⚡️ - usually regresses to around 4-6, but he can go younger if he’s sleepy or overwhelmed. he regresses pretty often and it’s almost always his choice. he just likes being small and thinks it’s really fun! he’s only ever forced into headspace after he uses his quirk too much and short circuits. it just takes a lot of his brain energy to make that much electricity and it needs to reset and heal by having some rest— which means he has to regress for a couple hours afterwards, minimum. he tends to avoid regressing when he’s upset or hurt because he hates how much more he feels while small. in terms of coping mechanisms, he mostly uses this one for stress relief more than anything.

⚡️ - very hyperactive kiddo! he has adhd and quite a sweet tooth so he’s almost always hyped up on sugar or dopamine. he can be very whiny about what his caregivers try to feed him and he drags his feet for pretty much any healthy habit. is it really too much to ask for dessert before dinner? or having juice that isn’t diluted with water? why does he have to brush his teeth so many times a day? honestly, it’s just ludicrous! he also really struggles in class to sit down and pay attention, and this is nearly tripled when he’s regressed. he doesn’t care about hero law and textbooks! he wants to go outside and roughhouse with his friends instead! he’s allowed to have fidget toys at his desk and he’s almost always doodling on his papers while he half-heartedly listens to his lectures, barely old enough to internalize any of it. his friends are nice enough to give him a crash course on the lesson when he needs it, though.

⚡️ - he really likes books and games! the only way to make him sit still is to put a game console or book in front of him. he likes reading chapter books meant for younger kids in english because it helps him feel like he’s younger and still learning to read, despite the fact that he’s actually pretty good at english anyways. he gets very excited and proud of himself when he finishes a book all by himself and doesn’t need to look up any words for it. as for games, he’s a handheld player! whether it’s a gameboy, DS, or a switch, denki is usually curled up around a screen (which his caregivers hate because it ruins his posture and makes his back ache). he really likes pokémon, mario, and anything that has levels or some kind of goals to meet. he’s really bad with more open games because he gets stuck not knowing what to do, so he never really got into animal crossing or minecraft because of how sandbox-y they can be, but he can still play them with his friends for a couple hours before he gets bored and drops them for a few weeks.

⚡️ - he doesn’t care much for regression gear. he finds that he doesn’t really use it as often as he’d like and it makes him upset that he can’t engage with his regression in a more “stereotypical” way. that said, he does like having a pacifier or some kind of chewelry when he’s doing something (homework, gaming, reading, anything that requires focus) because he uses it to orally stim. he likes sippy cups and straws for the same reason— though, he does tend to destroy the mouth pieces and the tops of his straws because he chews on them, even after he’s finished his drink. he does the same thing with headphone wires (which jirou hates for obvious reasons), the collars of his shirts (which his mother hates because he’s ruined every shirt he owns), and the end of his tie or hoodie strings (which bakugou hates because it’s “unsanitary”).

⚡️ - he gets really bad involuntary muscle spasms, similar to tics and bordering on seizure-like at their worst, because of his quirk. it’s especially bad right before and during thunderstorms, but sometimes it just randomly happens on bad days (or maybe it makes the days bad— he can’t tell). they sometimes cause the lights to flicker or black out entirely and it’s always exhausting and painful, leaving him sore and achey for hours or days afterwards. this is probably the only exception to his want to keep his regression chill and happy. it just hurts really badly and it’s easier to cry and be comforted when he’s really small and cuddled by a caregiver as he goes through it.

⚡️ - he really likes sleep overs and tends to crash in any dorm that isn’t his. he doesn’t like being alone and he loves his friends so much that he just prefers sleeping with them over being in his own room. he isn’t very picky about it either; denki crashes hard and is a really deep sleeper, and he’s able to sleep on just about anything. in sero’s room, he exclusively sleeps on a beanbag. in jirou’s room, he’s fallen asleep at the foot of her bed more times than she can count while listening to her play guitar. in bakugou’s room, he sleeps on the floor with a random blanket halfheartedly thrown on top of him. and in mina’s room, he usually cuddles with her in bed but he’s fallen asleep at her desk/vanity a couple times and if she couldn’t manage to wake him, she’d just leave him since he’s a bit too heavy for her to pick up.

⚡️ - I know this fandom is very split on weed hcs so feel free to skip this one, but I actually hc denki as being prescribed medical marijuana to deal with his seizure/epilepsy-like symptoms. Ik it’s illegal in japan but this is the future!!! because this is a quirk issue and not really a brain condition, it would make sense to me that traditional medications wouldn’t really work for him and that this would be something that can help because of how it can act as an anti-convulsant. he doesn’t take it all the time or anything, but he usually will pop a gummy when it’s a one of those bad/stormy days and ride it out (and he will sometimes just take one to chill out because ua is really stressful, it can really help with his adhd, and his prescription is pretty lenient about his doses). this also means that there are many times where he’s small and under the influence and it can help keep things running smoothly and more enjoyably for him. his caregivers have a rule that he can’t be small and high alone but, other than that, he’s free to do whatever and being high really helps him connect with the younger parts of his headspace in a way that he can’t usually— letting him play and pretend without the inhibitions that come with growing up.
