My AR Favorites

Description

First off no, I'm not back to return to this ever devolving hell-hole of an art site, I just thought that since its getting near Christmas and all, I'd give at least one last gift for this place to finish up my gallery with something proper, or at least with something I put alot of time and effort into that really felt worth it to me. It's not expansion art instead it is related to my secondary more sort of innocent-like fetish, AR.

For those unfamiliar with the term, it means Age Regression (In the sense of returning to a certain age in life / growing younger), however I am interested in a very specific AR, you look up on DA and can see most people always go for infantile-ism, not me.

1.) I prefer more of the Loli approach, varying from ages 5 to 12 (The select few here are just around 7 years old.) I mainly target adult female characters that have very mature, serious, or "adult" personalities (well beyond the mid-20's with few exceptions) . Its more fun with characters that are older beyond the teen and young adult stages, it makes the reaction to the regression more fun (Whenever I see it in Anime, Manga or fan art it seems kinda wasteful on the less life experienced, like high school girls or college students, its still cute and fun, but the impact isn't as great).


2.) I like the AR best being only a physical transformation, meaning the regression does not effect the mind, memory, personality or the life experience of the character's adulthood, never once did I like the whole "Complete Restart" of life thing most people with this fetish have. I find it more interesting and more adorable through the fact that they're basically adults with children's sized bodies. The situations are just so fun and cute to see the way they play out on how the characters deal with the regression as a new reality for them lol. A perfect example of this is the anime/manga Detective Conan.
(Also yes I realize this is also like the ultimate strategy for a lolicon never to get in trouble, since none of the characters will actually be truly underage. This wasn't intentional but I realized it doesn't affect me because of my Expansion fetish, I'm turned on by big swollen, round and soft girls, not little ones, but little ones are always so cute to pick up and cuddle like a real life chibi or live extra large plushie lol, thats how I mainly feel for fantasy AR)


3.) Another little custom detail I like with AR, is the mixture of adulthood experienced features added into the regression, by this I mean the regression's effect on a character would look almost nothing like the character's original childhood appearance. Simple things like if a woman had long hair as a young girl, and short hair as an adult, she'd have short hair as a girl in this effect. Simple changes like this are best because it helps retain some of they're adulthood other than the mindset.
A perfect example here is Misato up there who has a scar just under her chest, she would still retain that scar now even though she didn't get it anywhere near this age. The Scar itself would also be smaller and atoned to her body's new size. Keep in mind do not confuse features like this too much with that of being SD or Chibi, if that were the case, they'd all still have breasts, but lolis as we all know don't lol, Point is don't fooled into thinking its a Chibi.


So from left to right We have Tsunade, Anko Mitarashi, Motoko Kusanagi, Misato Katsuragi, Astharoshe Asran (or in short "Astha"), and Kagura, practically my top 6 favorites characters of anime/manga, yeah theres more out there that catch my eye, but these originally caught my interest first when I started getting far more open in the genres of anime, and plus believe it or not they all have serious issues related to they're past, origin, or from heartbreaking painful childhood memories to life changing traumatic events.

:bulletyellow: Tsunade's past is pretty much plagued by darker memories of death always loosing loved ones starting out when she was really young, grandfather, younger brother, lover, and dear friend/teammate. So after most of that and before becoming a leader, she was a lazy former gambling addict/wannabe alcoholic come from this? Meh, She always seemed to change her physical age on the spot to get herself out of gambling debts, so whose to say she looses control over that for once?

:bulletpurple: Anko's youth is like that of a betrayal story, the teacher whom she entrusted and liked, thinking hes was her best friend, screws her over by using her as a genie pig in a ugly power hungry experiment, one that she fails, and not giving a damn about her onwards, now I don't know much about how she was when she was little, but for her to end up growing a wild, borderline crazy, no guts no glory type of personality of woman ..well Goddamn those are the reasons I like her, still you can't help but feel bad, and give her another chance.

:bulletpurple: Motoko has one hell of tragic story, but practically nothing is known about her deep youth, with exception of a plane crash, that she was 1 of 2 survivors from, and then shortly "dead" per say, had her brain put into one of the newest types of cybernetic prosthetic bodies ever made at the time, without her consent of course, for the rest of her life growing up in a body of a machine designed to look human, she has a right to be pissed off about many things regarding her life, but she took it well, overall she developed a cold hard heart of a personality, but again one of the many traits that make her who she is, and why I like her, one hell of a multitasker too, still just like with Anko, you just wish "what could of been?" So how some more brain surgery, try to throw in a mix of genetic engineering, fool around with the building blocks of life, and you might just get a nice little pissed off loli Major.

:bulletpurple: Misato is a tough call, mostly trauma I would say, at around the ages of 13/14, She was the sole survivor of her father's expedition during the second impact, badly wounded and being saved by her father, seeing him for that last time, would probably screw anyone up, and it did with her, despite the tough ass and sorta strict competent behavior at her job, and carefree borderline alcoholic lifestyle, she has some social issues, fears commitment, responsibility, and emotional disclosure (Everyone from this series is screwed up from one way or another regarding they're past). So how bout an alternative rerun, without the trauma, but not erasing it either? ...sorta.

:bulletyellow: Astha is abit of a hotheaded, short tempered, loud mouth of a noble long-aged artificial vampire (Or Methuselah for this series) Now, I know pretty much nothing about her past, with except few details that mislead me, unless its like Manga only or Anime only. Its is only mentioned in her past that when her mother died her hair (originally full Red Head) turned white from years of grief, however shes blonde in the anime, and different scenario supposedly triggers her change in hair color there too. Thing about Vampires in this series is that they've mentioned they can live up to 900+ years old, so I've got no idea how Old Astha is, but never the less, a loli vampire is always fun to have, she may shout and rage even more but it'll be cute this time.

:bulletblack: Kagura was technically a tool or slave to her own creator, her so called father if you wanna call him that since she and other siblings literally came from his flesh. Shes not the type to be hurt so sensitively on a emotional level, however threats of undoing her are a different story, she was born how she looks, as in no childhood, oddly enough her elder sibling sister looks quite near her age shown here, even though she was created first, and Kagura second. To top that she never really got the chance to live out her freedom, so why not fill out that second chance box, give her that nice fresh free life she deserves.

I know I said I don't buy into the restart crap, but it doesn't hurt for a "2nd chance" every now and then, provided they're not completely helpless in the Ar'ed state.




And now back to Borderlands 2.
