Jerome Valeska

• Jerome is an extremely chaotic caregiver, but he's also an extremely loving caregiver
• Despite the way he was abused as a child or maybe because of the way he was treated Jerome is incredibly soft with you. He may come off as intense, but the only raise of his voice you receive is one of excitement.
• Jerome really loves doing things with you. Even though he loves causing distress and chaos in Gotham he loves causing miniature chaos with you almost a little bit more.
• He likes to take you out for a night of excitement. The interesting part is how bloody those nights are for him and yet you never see a bit of violence.
• Jerome is actually really protective of his little. When you're small you aren't allowed near any violence. When you're little you aren't allowed to witness any bad language or gestures.
• Some of his followers have been killed for simply cursing in your vicinity. It's even more funny because a few of those times you weren't even regressed.
• He's also incredibly protective (possessive) in the sense that he will kill anyone who seems to be stepping into that caregiver role too much. He is your dad! No one else.
• Jerome is super encouraging of any interest, though he is partial to watching Spongebob over Bluey. Or even My Little Pony over Care Bears.
• He really loves doing arts and crafts with you, and any coloring pages or drawings you gift him are hung up on the fridge. Eventually Jervis convinced him to rotate them into a scrapbook because the fridge was overflowing with your masterpieces.
• Speaking of Jervis and Jonathan are your favorite and only uncles. Both are really good with you and actually really enjoy babysitting you. Quite a few of your toys are from Jonathan and quite a few of your outfits are from Jervis.
• Jerome can be very overwhelming, but he can be very calming too. He always has one of your comfort items nearby and he has memorized every action that you find the most comforting/relaxing.
• This man is among the best at telling bedtime stories, no books needed. It makes bedtime all the more fun and soothing.
• He handles tantrums surprisingly well, toning down his own whirlwind of thoughts to comfort you and yours.
• Jerome is undeniably good at making his little laugh. His jokes are the best and he isn't above looking like a fool just to see you smile.
• Jerome is surprisingly a really good caregiver, of course he has faults like feeding you ice cream for dinner, but he does his best and he really loves his little.

Jeremiah Valeska

• Jeremiah is an extremely intense caregiver, but he's also an extremely comforting one.
• In almost every situation Jeremiah retains an air of calmness. When he isn't calm the anger is never pointed at you. He's never once yelled at his little and he never will.
• Unlike Jerome, Jeremiah's protectiveness leads to you being inside most of the time. The rare times you are allowed out, especially when little, it's in an excluded, private place or something he specifically curated/staged for you.
• Most of the people around Jeremiah or even most of the GCPD don't know you even exist and those who do refuse to interact, for good reason too.
• Jeremiah finds everything about you fascinating, whether you're big or small. He encourages every interest or obsession.
• If he had to pick Jeremiah would choose reading a book to you over sitting you in front of a tv, but he can't deny his slight interest in that "stupid" ninja turtle show you keep making him watch.
• Jeremiah particularly enjoys teaching you reading, writing, and math while you're regressed. Don't worry he isn't all strictness and no play, you have a huge playroom that's filled with toys that you frequent often.
• Echo has had to stop him many times from buying you anymore toys, and even then he often ignores her.
• Speaking of Echo she's the best auntie you've got and the only person allowed to interact with you. That is if you like her. If you show any sign that you don't like her then Jeremiah will forbid her from interacting with you.
• Jeremiah can be very stunted when it comes to showing emotions, so it can be hard to tell if he's sincere or angry or happy. Thankfully his actions are easy to track and he will do very distinct things to help you identify easier.
• As much as he denies it Jeremiah loves to hold and cuddle you. If you've had a nightmare or even just ask to sleep with him he hops onto the opportunity. It's also a good way to pull him from his work.
• Jeremiah has a list of all the things that help calm you down or comfort you, Any item, action, or word that might help you he has listed in his head.
• He handles tantrums with the most poise a caregiver could have. Jeremiah very easily validates your emotions and calms them all at once.
• Jeremiah loves to do puzzles with you and has drawn up many mazes for you to solve, through some trial and error as the first few were too difficult for your little mind.
• Overall Jeremiah is a really good caregiver, he can be standoffish, but he really loves you and would do anything for his little.

The Valeska Twins

• Lets just preface this by saying together these men are menaces. You have to be a very special case to get them to work together, which you are.
• Jerome and Jeremiah will argue constantly over who gets to do what with you. They constantly argue with each other for your attention in and out of your regression. They argue about rules and schedules. Essentially if they can disagree on it they will.
• Speaking of disagreements, let's mention the few things they do agree on. No one is allowed to take care of you while regressed except them, there's two of them so there's no need for a babysitter in their heads. A baby bag is a must even if you aren't little, there is no reason for them not to have your comfort items. They both get an equal amount of time with you. You're not allowed to hear any cursing or violence while regressed and even when big they're iffy on it with you.
• Your bedroom is right in between their bedrooms, your playroom is right across from the office, and your bathroom attaches to theirs. There's also a play area in their office.
• Heaven forbid you get hurt or sick. Jeremiah and Jerome will coddle you until you can't think anymore. I can see Jerome swaddling you in a blanket while Jeremiah feeds you soup or your favorite comfort meal.
• Often they alternate between who watches you because they don't want to fight too much in front of you. When they do watch you together it's often filled with vaguely threatening or even simply petty comments thrown at each other. They will always put up with each other for you. You want to watch a movie with both of them? They guess that's not too bad. You want to have a tea party and they both HAVE to be there? Ehh, okay, why not?
• Let's be honest they spoil their little so much, there's no way you don't become a spoiled brat. You want a new toy, you got it. You want something for dinner, you get it. You want to do this, you get to do it.
• While Jeremiah can be very heavy in gift giving Jerome leans more into quality time. While Jerome is very open with his physical affection Jeremiah hides his desperation for it. While Jerome says a lot of words of affirmation Jeremiah leans more into acts of service.
• They balance out each other's flaws which makes the dynamic much more healthier for you. Jeremiah's letting you stay up past your bedtime? Absolutely not, Jerome's taking you to bed now. Jerome wants to take you for a joyride in a cop car? Absolutely not, Jeremiah's taking you to the park.
• Both twins love you so desperately and so deeply it can be a bit scary sometimes. And, yes, they fight a lot, but they will always put it aside for you. They make up some of the best caregivers a little can have, and there isn't anything, I mean anything, they wouldn't do for you.
