Raven Cycle Agere Headcanons
Requested by my lovely partner! I’m only doing the main five because it’s been a while since I read the books <3
Gansey
usually acts as a caregiver when the boys are all together
the dad vibes are strong with Gansey: lots of hair ruffles and putting his hands on his hips to admire kiddos’ projects
only occasionally stops them from doing stupid things: usually helps them to do things like ‘throw all the mattresses outside so we can jump off the roof’
has a knack for making people feel more comfortable with their regression: his caregiver mode is very visible when he switches into it, and it’s hard to resist
Gansey also regresses, but prefers to do it one-on-one, rather than participating in the chaotic group: he often regresses late at night as part of his insomnia
still enjoys working on his sprawling projects, like the model town: he’s often quiet and focused as a kiddo, and doesn’t go to get a caregiver
Ronan is the first person he really trusted with that side of him, but he grows to rely on each member of the group
silently clingy as a kiddo: holds tight onto hands, appreciates cuddles
watches people very closely if he’s anxious, but completely forgets them in favour of his projects if he’s comfortable
forgets to eat and needs a caregiver to bring him some snacks and juice (he really likes juice in a sippy cup that he can knock over when he forgets about it and kicks it)
Ronan
a changeable little boy who is incredibly readable: he’s terrible at hiding any of his feelings when he’s small
wants to have everyone around him at all times: gets restless if someone is missing
does not like sitting down unless he has a lot of toy options around him: prefers to be moving, playing, running, exploring
really likes spending time outdoors when he’s small: has a knack for charming animals and will come back with a squirrel on his head
loves to play-tousle with the others and will initiate it at any moment: especially likes to come up behind Adam and tug his hair until he obliges
wants to be the one who gets to knock the block tower down
despite the rowdiness, he’s very alert to the others’ needs and runs to get bandaids if anyone gets hurt: very much a big brother at times
sometimes wakes up regressed and has a hard time seeking other people out, even though it’s really what he needs, especially if it’s the middle of the night
also an excellent caregiver: able to be quiet or goofy, as a regressor requires, and gives the best cuddles
second most likely to notice if someone is slipping in the group and needs a stuffed animal (Noah is the first most likely)
Noah
generally reflects the mood around him: runs around with the other boys if they’re rowdy, curls up in cuddle piles if they’re sleepy, never out-of-step with the rest of the group
tends towards the younger side than the others, really likes pacifiers and pull-ups and teething toys
sticks rocks in all of his pockets (and action figures and leaves and sticks and-)
very cuddly if he’s catching some one-on-one regression time, always soaking up the other person’s body heat
can act as a caregiver if he stumbles across one of the others regressing, but the others rarely seek him out as a caregiver, and he doesn’t mind
really loves sensory toys: blankets with different textures, shakers that have glitter in them, slime that makes popping sounds
very perceptive about others’ regression: tends to whisper to Gansey or Ronan if one of the others needs something
reads a lot of comic books when he’s small
sticks his head out of the car window when they’re driving to feel the wind in his hair
Adam
sleepy boy: things catch up to him when he regresses and he usually needs to start playtime with a nap
but when he’s awake again, he can run around with the best of them
doesn’t own any regression gear and gets defensive about gifts, so he usually just borrows toys that are around Monmouth
Gansey keeps buying things for him and intentionally leaves them at his place for Adam to play with when he visits
gets quietly excited about “fancy” snacks like ants on a log or anything made to look like a face on the plate
shuts down if he gets hurt when he’s regressed, just absolute dissociation: gentle physical contact and water can help him come back a little quicker but it’s always a hard situation
the most likely to regress when he doesn’t intend to: drifts closer to Ronan or Blue and gets quiet until someone notices that he’s regressing and bundles him home
noise sensitive: not to the sounds of the others playing, but to machinery or loud cars or strangers shouting
most likely to regress on his own, without the others: genuinely enjoys snuggling into blankets and watching cartoons or listening to kid’s music and colouring quietly
Blue
regression was not part of her life until she met her Raven Boys, but she fell in love with the concept and with their complicated dynamics through it
Blue isn’t sure if she is a regressor, but she likes playing with the boys, and sometimes she finds herself slipping into something like a childish mindset: she’s still figuring out if she’s a regressor or an age dreamer
she likes to be a caregiver one-on-one with the boys: Gansey immediately took to her, Noah and Adam followed soon after, and Ronan prefers her as a playmate rather than a caregiver (and is probably the best at tugging her into a younger headspace when the group is together)
Gansey is less likely to buy things for himself than for the others, so Blue takes this as an opportunity to give him little things
Adam is also more open to gifts from Blue, so she makes sure he’s stocked up when he moves into his new apartment
in general, the boys tend to slip younger around Blue, and she cherishes that: she adds something new to the mix without disrupting their existing relationships
