Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hi and welcome to the brand, spanking new guild for the tiny pocket of ABDLs who might still be on Gaia and wanna connect with others in the ABDL community here. I am the guild captain and an ABDL myself.

This is a place for us to come together, support each other and hopefully have lots of fun. cat_blaugh

Sadly, the older ABDL guilds have all been left abandoned, so this is the only place we have now but I hope to make it as wonderful as the others that came before it.

Here you can drop in for a chat and just hang out but there will be other threads for rps, art and stories.

I hope we can make friends and grow from a tiny seed into a healthy and flourishing tree.

Gaia's so dead and quiet these days. I need to get some stories and RPs happening in here.

Hi Cookie, good to see you. Thank you for joining! ^_^

I'm sure you'll be great company. You have been so far... cat_3nodding I'm so happy to have a few members in the guild now.

As for that. Well, I saw an episode on My Strange Addiction on TV about Riley Kilo, who is an ABDL. Her life looked so wonderful and sweet. Like a really fun and great way to live life. It made life happier and more interesting to me. And it made me realise that all those Little feelings and babyish desires I'd been having my whole life had a name to them. I realised I was an AB just like Riley. Why I loved babies so much. Why I wanted to always play as baby characters and adored Rugrats... From then on, I looked online to meet people, learn more about it and find art, stories, rps and friends.

I only got into wearing diapers a few years ago because I used to live at home with my family and I had to share a room with my sister. Now that I live independently and my family are 7+ hours away, I can get little whenever I feel brave enough to, without getting caught by random visitors lol.

Right now, I have a pack of Rearz Lil' Bella diapers that I'm working my way through. But I also have pacifiers, baby bottles, pacifier clips on lanyards, and two onesies. I plan to get more AB clothes once I lose more weight. And sometimes I eat baby food. I have also got a lot of toys and games. Plushies, Lego, a rainbow xylophone, colouring books, a few dolls...I love playing. Though I spend lots of time doing so on the computer. Hehe.

There were active ABDL communities here on Gaia, in guilds. One of them was the Infantilism guild. But ya know, since people have left Gaia en masse, they're all dead quiet these days and when I wanted to re-join them, no one was there to approve my membership again.

No problem. I'm happy that you're so accepting and open minded. You don't find that very often.

Yeah. I mean, it's not really hard. Diapers can be paid off using Afterpay. And since I don't wear that often yet, it takes me a while to get through a pack. Also, I'm in community housing because I can't work many hours due to my health conditions. So I don't earn much. I'm very lucky to have gotten a place to live before the housing and rental crisis hit here in Australia.

I can respect that, that you're willing to give it a try even though it's not really your thing. ^^ I appreciate that. Thank you. Yeah, that's pretty much how it went. I love being ABDL. Now that I got into it I will never look back.

Rugrats is one of my favourite cartoons. I can watch it over and over again. I bought the complete collection on DVD last year hehe. And no, in English it's just called Rugrats.

Well, Gaia's downfall began when a new CEO took over, along with his assistant. Together they decided they wanted to use Gaia to make themselves a lot of money instead of trying to encourage community and make it a happy place. They released these items called gold generators that pumped the marketplace and people's accounts full of massively ridiculous amounts of gold, destroying the economy here on the site. Gaians have always have a reputation for being greedy and people went nuts. After that, they tried to fix it but the damage was done. People began to leave. During the CEO's awful reign, they sacked a lot of the best of Gaia's employees, which in turn caused other employees to walk out. They made a huge mess of things. After the CEO and his assistant left, Lanzer and the others took ownership of the site again. Lanzer and his friends were the original creators so they have the site's and users' best interests at heart. Other things that caused the mass exodus were an aging userbase, changes in tastes of younger users who joined, browsers stopped supporting Flash which means all the games, zOMG, virtual hangouts, cinemas, Rally etc. And then Discord came along and people didn't wanna be bound by Gaia's PG 13 rules and terms of service, so a huge amount flocked over to Discord to chat and rp. Once upon a time, Gaia was THE place to come for all those things. It's really sad and I miss what it used to be. I hope it becomes great again. We also shouldn't have to resort to using Waterfox to get things to work. They need to update everything!

If you want to know more about Gaia's history and what happened, there are some good articles and YouTube videos that explain it.

Well, since it's only gonna be the two of us rping, unless someone else like The Kitten That Mews wants to join, we could do a basic family rp.

Awww, you're so sweet. cat_whee I'm happy to meet awesome ppl like you as well! Seriously, there are some super nice ppl out there n you prove that. -hugggg-

Yeah, I've had them my whole life. Mostly severe anxiety and depression but also get tired easily, have PCOS, food intolerances, reflux and IBS as well as being on the autism scale and having OCD which manifests as intrusive violent or sexually deviant thoughts. I'm on meds to manage it but they make me gain weight, which in turn makes me unhappy. So it's a bit of a pain. I can't eat anything when I'm not taking these pills though, or everything goes right through me. Sometimes I really hate my body. I used to be nice and skinny with a flat tummy and I want my early 20s figure back! I'm working on it. Partially because I wanna fit into smaller diapers and feel pretty and cute again. I'm not hugely obese but I do have thick thighs, cankles and a chub belly. Boo. cat_scream

My psychiatrist is willing to trial me on different medications but he's in Rockhampton and I'd probably need to be admitted to the hospital for monitoring while undergoing such a thing. So...we haven't done it yet. I already tried two other types of meds which made my mental and physical health worse and ended up in ER visits. So yeah...little bit tricky to manage. So I'm stuck with good old Clomipramine for now. At least it's not Olanzapine, that stuff stacks on weight like you wouldn't believe. It also made me really angry and violent. Ahehe.That was like, the first ever med they tried me on. The others I tried were Brintellix, a new drug and then Zoloft. And now I've come full circle back to Clomipramine/Anafranil.

Yes! Our government does support me with a fortnightly pension. I have to do tasks to reach a certain number of points in order to earn it. Like studying, applying for jobs, doing training, stuff like that. Centrelink is the government department that helps with that. But they cause as much stress as they help. Bit of a double edged sword. I rent a house through Anglicare. I had to submit an application and be put on a waiting list and I was super lucky to get this one. I've been here about 6 years now. I wanna transfer to Brisbane to be closer to family and healthcare but the waiting list is thousands long and we have a rental crisis right now, with not enough properties for the number of people waiting. I've been reading news on my phone that people are being evicted from rental houses by greedy or bad landlords, who essentially make people homeless if they ask for repairs and maintenance to be done on the property. Some of 'em kick people out then refurbish the whole house and then jack the price up real high. There are some bad ppl out there. Thankfully, it looks like the private home market prices might be dropping.

I definitely was like that before learning I was ABDL. I've always loved babies, playing with my younger siblings, like Barbies, and well, I took a long time to mature. I only really started to in my late 20s. Always been a child at heart. When I turned 13 I told my mum I never want to grow up because I was happy being a kid. I too, hate adulting, and love cartoons and anime. And many babyish and childish activities and toys.

I wasn't so into the teen reboot, for me it's all about seeing the world through the eyes of the baby characters, feeling like I was one of them and could relate. It's kinda magical. Maybe. I'm pretty shy though so usually I don't watch things on Discord with others.

No problem. I thiiiink so. I'm pretty sure you could spend GCash to buy trillions of gold and win gold etc. It was crazy. Gaia's never fully recovered. I know, I'm so glad Lanzer and co. are back holding the reins. At least they care about and have a vision for this site. Yup my questions always get ignored. I asked when the games and Flash things would be updated but never got a reply. I just want a rough idea at the least. They shouldn't just fob us off saying 'go use Waterfox'.

I think Gaia just needs to expand it's world. The map is pretty small and simple compared to modern rpgs. They could add some new things to it. Like how Neopets has all those different lands you can visit, with all these different shops and activities.

Asked who? I haven't asked anyone to rp with us besides you atm. Yep, a family rp set in a house in Barton or something. I'll play a version of Fluttershy.

I didn't have many social interactions growing up. Autism makes socialising hard, so did my social anxiety. So I was on my own a lot. Luckily I had a brother and sister to play with so I wasn't always lonely. I did have a few friends but they didn't last. Moving to different schools and countries and things. I always wanted a best friend, but sometimes my friends treated me bad, and hurt me. I didn't understand why. They weren't really my friends and didn't really like me but I couldn't figure that out at the time lol.

I'm pretty shy but yeah, I come across as being more confident through text because that's what I'm most comfortable communicating with. It's much easier than face to face. I'm glad things have improved for you over the years and you don't have to struggle with those things as much. That's good. I understand the weight struggle too. I need to go swimming more often. I didn't go at all last or this week.

Oh yeah, I've definitely compared myself to others in the past. I struggled to understand things due to mental health and autism so I thought because I couldn't do well in school, (and there was never anyone to help) that I was stupid for a very long time. Took me a while and some counselling to see that people can have knowledge or smarts in different areas. And that being smart isn't the most important thing in life.

Sorry to hear about your friend. I hope she gets the help and support she needs. Yeah, I view myself thru social standards but I also just miss how my body used to be. I had a super nice figure with a nice flat tummy. Plus I can more easily be picked up and carried or fit into kids' clothing when I'm tinier. And smaller diapers too.

The root of my anxiety is just that my brain is wired differently. There's a chemical imbalance that I've had since birth. And it just got worse over the years. I should have been medicated as a child but my parents didn't know how to help me or understand what was wrong, and neither did I. Usually what triggers my anxiety is something to do with interacting with other people, or having to try to drive, various things can do it. Sometimes I'm anxious for no good reason, it's just the chemicals in my brain freaking out over nothing. Lol. And thanks for the well wishes. I'm doing pretty good these days. I have meds, a psychiatrist and counselling if I need it. I see the dr fairly often and try to eat healthy. So doing everything I can for myself.

Maybe. I do know that I need support with some things. But I'm happy to be able to live on my own here and do my own things. Also my cats help a lot. They're great company. My furbabies hehe.

Eh, the wait list for properties in Brisbane is thousands long and I'm happy here anyway. I don't care if I have to wait for more years till I get a place for me n my cats. Moving closer to family means they might see me doing ABDL stuff more easily ahaha.

I don't understand much of politics. There's a lot of lies and it's confusing for me. I can't tell who's telling the truth and who's lying and stuff. But I know Australia n New Zealand have good governments and I'm really glad I live in such a lucky and blessed country. I know people like the dictator in China and the person in North Korea and Russian president are all bad people who are doing bad things. I've always watched cartoons n anime and played games hehe. I don't care if people thought it was childish. They make me happy. And yeah, it's more accepted by society these days. And you're right, those things were never just for children. Adults can have fun too.

Yup. DMs or text chats.

I love Rugrats so much ha ha. I wish there were more anime about cute babies. The ones I've found so far are Chibi Devi (anime and manga), the Gakkuen Babysitters manga, and Akachan to Boku manga. There was one set in a preschool but one of the kindergarten kids had a crush on her adult teacher and was encouraged to pursue it and marry him when she grows up...and I really didn't like that. I loved Pokemon growing up too! I really should get back into it. I never got much into the games cause I didn't have a Gameboy as a kid. We had a Playstation and computer though.

And no worries, I'll extend an invite to Kitten to see if she wants to join. I defs wouldn't expect vanilla ppl to wanna rp ABDL content ahaha.

Aw, thank youuu~ -snugs and purrs- ^w^ Yeah, I hope they do. Well, I actually hope they learned from their mistakes and became better people. But if not, karma will bite them in the a** at some point hopefully. I defs have a supportive family. Me, my mum and my bro and sis are all incredibly close. It's been us living together for many years, so we built strong bonds over that time. My dad was never really in the picture, so it's always felt like the four amigos, ha ha. I went on a family holiday to Stradbroke Island in July and it was wonderful to be at the holiday house and see everybody.

Same, same. -nods-

Yup. One of the only downsides of the 90s, I'm sure. Hehe. Otherwise it was a pretty great decade. I'm very fond of the 90s and early 2000s. I think I woulda given up a bunch of times if I didn't have my family to help and support me. As it is, school was hell. That's why I never went to uni either.

Thanks for the nice compliments. I used to do modelling classes when I was younger but the bitchiness of the other models and my super bad anxiety and health issues meant it wasn't something I could sustain. It was fun learning how to walk the catwalk tho. I can only dream! I actually wanna make blog/videos on Daily Diapers or Tumblr. There's a fair few ABs that do. You can make good money doing it as well.

That's pretty much what I do. ^^ Yeah, changing the way you think can really help a lot.

I have 3 kitties here with me. Possy, Mackerel and Chi. All very spoiled. Ha ha. Kara sounds lovely. Anyone who likes cats is usually good in my books.

I'm glad that things are changing in Mexico and ppl can more freely enjoy what they want without being judged for it. Sorry about your mom not being on board. Boo!

It is! I have watched the anime and it's all fluff and sugar and cuteness. But I want the manga series because the anime leaves a lot of things unanswered and I'm sure the manga has more of a plot and much more in it. I think I've seen some Looney Tunes growing up, dunno about Muppet Babies. But I prefer anime babies cause they are the cutest, hands down.

Well, there WERE ppl who are ABDL on Gaia. But they've flocked to other pastures these days. Clearly not all of them tho because I'm here and so is Kitten.

Umm, well we went for walks along the beach, enjoyed the view of the ocean from Jace house, played fun new board games, watched movies, had barbeques and just socialised. My family went on many more walks than me though. It rained a lot during the week but we still found ways to have fun. We didn't see the whales and dolphins this year though because of the heavy rain and storms. But we saw lots last year!

No, we haven't had too much global warming here this and last year. We've been in the La Nina weather cycle. But I'm sure it'll change. I'm not looking forward to summer. It goes on so long. I feel bad for people suffering from the extreme heatwaves, droughts etc. Especially for the cats and dogs.

I've never been too into the American cartoons. But I do like some of them. Rugrats, The Wild Thornberrys, and a few more. I've got Steven Universe and Gravity Falls on my list of things to watch and I'm looking out for season 6 of Rick and Morty to be released here soon. I loved the original Yu Gi Oh! I also loved Cardcaptors, Sailor Moon, Pokemon, Digimon, Beyblades and a bunch more hehe. My favourite Playstation games growing up were Spyro series, Croc, MediEvil 1 &2, Final Fantasy, Ape Escape and a bunch more that I've probably forgotten. Computer games it's Creatures virtual life games, The Sims, Age of Empires, Neopets, Roller Coaster Tycoon, Theme Hospital, Black & White and a bunch more.

Yeah, it can be like that in the modelling industry. Women can be fierce and catty, nasty to each other. Instead of being encouraging. I guess they're always comparing themselves to others and getting jealous or something. But there are probably plenty of nice models out there too. It's much easier to make ABDL content! And to be liked for it. Especially if you're a girl. As for being an advocate. Sure I guess I could! ^^ Hehe.

Yes, I absolutely love felines. So I have 3 rescue kitties. All of them are grey tabbies but one has a white face and socks. My mum has the other 3 rescues at her house in Toowoomba. She sounds really nice. Sorry that she's under so much stress. Life can be like that sometimes. Wow, so she actually works for Gaia? That's pretty amazing. I guess they needed to employ new staff after so many got sacked by the bad CEO. Sure, I don't mind if she wants to join the family rp. She can rp as an older sister if she wants. Or as another kid. Or family friend...

Yeah it does. It's the best! I paid an artist to draw the Rugrats in anime style and they turned out adorable. Ohhh I see. So that's what you were trying to say. Well I certainly hope so! It'd be cool if we could gather the other ABs here in one place and all play together.
