Transage

what fictional characters give you transage vibes?

i'll start:

Soos from Gravity Falls seems like he is a teen or adult chronologically but his personality is more of a child's

Alphonse Elric from Fullmetal Alchemist - his body for almost the entire anime is a large suit of armor, so he is often mistaken as an adult even though he's a young teen.

every time i visit a store with a kids clothing section i get insanely envious. kids get the best clothing designs, easily!! i really wish my body was much smaller so i could buy and wear them. i would be super cute and comfy.

if anyone has any suggestions for how i can get adult clothes with cute, colourful designs, i'd really love that!!

im questioning some kind of transage identity myself, and i was wondering if it was common for transage people to originally think they are/were regressors? im definitely a regressor or an age slider, and ive def talked to some transage people who are in the agere community lul xp

i'm pretty little inside, elementary age or younger a lot of the time. i have people who love me for who i am but i have no one to play like a kid with. having fun with other kids, not worrying about stuff or what people would think...

anyone up to chat and play kid games? there's this game super auto pets i really wanna try... could be text or voice chat, on matrix, depending what you're comfy with.

i'm a pedo. i love them sexually and romantically. if you're not comfy with that please don't message me. i don't wanna be scared what you really think of me the whole time.

Are you nostalgic for a time when you were chronologically younger, and if so, what are some things that trigger those good feelings? I'm nostalgic for the late 90s and early 2000s and I love playing with toys from that period or old computer games on my Win XP computer.

💗Mei thread! :3 did you get anything nice today? I had soda and played Gameboy! Links Awakening DX puts me in my happy bubble!

PDF (1989 edition)

A book about the history of age norms in America. Not only is our modern notion of age a social construct, it's a pretty recent one, largely developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book doesn't go into great detail, but it's a good overview.

A lot can be traced back to the formalization of education. Schools were divided into grades, and from that followed ideas about what was normal for children to be learning and doing at a given age — all manner of bullshit treated as scientific simply because it was superficially formal and rational. Capitalism's also a factor, of course, both in efforts to get the most fit workers into the workforce and the commercialization of birthdays and age-related merchandise. And a lot of it seems to be everyone just going along with it.

I miss the feeling of having loose and missing baby teeth and feeling the adult tooth coming in in its place. Surely I'm not alone in this feeling?

I made some tannerian flags for the specific stages on Tumblr - https://www.tumblr.com/marshmallow-makkyun/729213034700177408/tannerian-when-your-age-is-dependent-on-the

Of course, credit to the original flag goes to Arisu. I just edited it a little for these flags.

Basically, I was raised Mormon and also driven very, very hard on academics and extracurriculars, explicitly at the expense of my social life. I really wish I could have a second chance at that time of my life where I just have the opportunity to chill out, explore and experiment with myself and others. I know there's technically nothing stopping me from doing that as an adult, but it's a completely different vibe, y'know? It's like I'm making up for lost time, time that I wish I could have back.
