xD I have no privacy with this cat. I sit on my bed to take ageplaying pictures, and all she does is come to me and give me head bumps. Cats will be cats ^^
I sat down on my bed to take a few pictures, and my cat immediately joined me on there xD. She’s so adorable. Also, guess what I was wearing underneath my skirt?? If the answer was “a big diaper” then you … Continue reading →
I had this is a snack; it’s called an Éclair. Un éclair, anciennement appelé pain à la duchesse ou petite duchesse, est une pâtisserie d’origine française constituée de pâte à choux allongée et fourrée de crème pâtissière, avec un glaçage sur … Continue reading →
xD Thank you for this Ask. This one is going to be hilarious.
I’ve taken almost 3000 pictures for this blog, mostly of myself in various adult baby-ish poses and situations. But in reality I almost never take selfies. I play around with Snapchat on my phone, sometimes, but I’m not the sort of person who would save those kinds of selfies. It’s not that I lack self-confidence for this; it’s that I don’t see a reason to take selfies. I don’t know anyone who I’d send those selfies to ^^;;
I do love taking pictures of people. But the joy of taking pictures, for me, is to showcase a person in a way they don’t normally see themselves. Taking a photo and displaying it in the way I want is a form of art, right? A photo, for me, isn’t about displaying what reality is like. With a phone, the pictures look very bland to me, exactly how my own eyes see it. With a big camera, I can set it to save RAW files, and edit those raw files on my laptop later. Also, with a big camera I can use a flash, choose a big aperture to play with the background, change the iso, and I don’t have to worry about the camera “deciding” on the wrong settings like the white balance. I use Capture One to edit my raw files, and I can recommend everyone to look into how to save photos in raw to be able to edit them manually. Because it gives you a lot more room to ‘rescue’ a photo which you thought had failed into something usable, but also to play around with pictures to make them look more artsy.
Thank you for this Ask and for saying that about supporting me ^^. I’m not so sure if everyone supports me, but I am glad that some people do support me, which I’m very grateful for ! ^^.. We should all care about others a little more, it would make the world a little better overall. I definitely need to make more time to spend with my friends and family, and to take better care of myself while I’m at it !
a65232-joshywoshy: No description this time. Just Bab. It suits you. 😁 Sorry, I don’t always write picture descriptions.. especially when the pictures are quite similar to other posts and then I run out of things to say ^^;;. I’ll never run … Continue reading →

Hello, thank you for this Ask! Yes, I have a Sony A7.. but really, taking pictures and editing the raws is much easier than you may think ^^;;. If you lock the iso to 100, you have a LOT of dynamic range (compared to higher isos) as long as you don’t overexpose. As far as I understood it, higher isos just software-increase the illumination anyway, it’s not changing the sensitivity of the sensor I think? You do need a lot of lights in your room, or sunshine.. so I use a flash to provide lights. For now, I’ve been putting the big flash on my camera itself (the A7 doesn’t have a flash of its own) I’ve been wanting to try using a remote flash (so it’s not on my camera) to make it easier. Maybe someone can suggest me something?
Thank you for this Ask, and for saying that you think that I’m adorable ^^.
There’s a few things which I wish people would stop Asking me, but in the end it doesn’t really matter, I guess. If an Ask is clearly disingenuous, I’ll delete it.
I do allow Anonymous Asks (it’s an option on tumblr). I answer almost (99%) all Asks which I receive. I write out my answers as interestingly as I can.
Because of the messy interface of Tumblr, a person who casually looks at my blog will not be able to know what was asked 1000+ blog posts ago. I have around 2300 blog posts right now, which is absolutely massive. So consequently there’s a lot of Asks which keep coming back. It’s unavoidable, and I don’t mind. I try to make the best of it and I try to have all of you have fun while looking at my pictures and reading my stuff. How can a diaper picture blog be interesting? I don’t know ^^;; , I doubt I could discuss things that are actually on my mind. Instead, I try to interact with you guys to make this more interesting. Otherwise, I’m just a floppy shark..
Hm I think I answered a similar question in the last few days? No, I don’t wear diapers all the time. I only wear a diaper on Saturday or on Sunday for a few hours. I am not incontinent. The only reason that I wear diapers is to ageplay. I can’t ageplay unless I’m completely free of other tasks and I’m inside my own home and left alone. Consequently, I only ageplay (and therefore only wear diapers) when it’s not a work day and I have nothing else planned ^^. It’s my private time, you know? It’s not an outfit that I can put on and enjoy, it’s a mood that I need to get into. I do think the desire to age regress builds up over time, and if I can’t do it for a few weeks it gets kind of annoying in my head, but usually it’s okay to do it once every 1-2 weeks..
Hello @autonomous17 , thank you for this Ask and for your congratulations ^^; that’s really sweet of you!
Well the reality is that I really did want to graduate much earlier (spring of 2020, before any lockdowns were known or in effect). My thesis had been approved and printed in anticipation of that earlier date. The introduction page even mentions that early-Spring date and time. But the books were never distributed. The physical books were just sitting in a bunch of boxes in an office at the hospital, waiting to be handed out to friends, family and colleagues. So, I have to disappoint you that I didn’t technically finish my PhD during ‘these conditions’ xD. That’s a detail for the history books, though. I mean it was still a little bit difficult with my original defense being cancelled, no one knowing what to do (for some time), me refusing to do a defense via Skype, and rescheduling it all the way to the end of Summer. After planning the new date, no one still wasn’t quite sure if it could even happen. The reception and party, which I planned for after the original ceremony, were of course also cancelled. Come the second time I really didn’t want to plan anything big any more. The reason for the latter wasn’t even the pandemic, it was my own mental exhaustion from still having to do PhD stuff even though it had been over half a year that I had moved away from that place. The average reader of this blog won’t be fully aware of how much work went on ‘behind the scenes’. Doing a PhD is (unfortunately and fortunately) not an ordinary job. I spent thousands of hours of my own unpaid free time writing, rewriting, and revising manuscripts, preparing them for journal submission, receiving a rejection the week after, more revisions, submit to another journal, get rejected again but offered a transfer to another journal, receive peer review, answer the reviewer’s comments in the best way I can, resubmit, etc. There were times when I thought that it would be an eternal cycle of writing and revising and that I just wasn’t good enough at writing scientific manuscripts. It wasn’t the case. About a month prior to my defense, to my own surprise, my 5th (and last) PhD manuscript was accepted for publication. It was a happy ending. I do still have a few collaborations running from during my PhD, which should probably end up in publication (and coauthorships) one day, but that’s for another time xD. Also in reference to a certain shark V-tuber, and due to my seeming success in science, I’ll be calling myself an apex predator from now on xD. This diapered apex predator had a lot of help from others but also helped a lot of other researchers in doing analyses.
To comment on the other stuff in your Ask.. thank you for ‘admiring’ my blog xD. You don’t have to, though. I like taking pictures with lots of colour and I’m glad that I can make others happy with my pictures. I’m not so fond of wearing diapers to sleep unless they’re thin diapers. I’m not entirely sure why this bothers my sleep, but it does. If I did, I would still wear pyjamas over my diaper, though. Also when I’m ageplaying, I would usually wear a pyjama over it. I take off my pyjamas for taking pictures, because otherwise no one can see my diaper ^^;;. I have a few adult-sized pacis that I enjoy sleeping with, sometimes.
Yes, I agree. (also I answered this exact ask a few days ago, didn’t I?) The Avent bottles are better than random-brand bottles ^^. I do have two other random-brand bottles and I wouldn’t prefer them. The teat on the Avent is quite big, and the bottle itself fits nicely in my hand and even makes my hands feel smol because it’s a thick&short bottle (and not thin & long like adult water bottles).
I do drink formula from my bottle sometimes ^^, or tea. I don’t think I’ve ever taken a picture of myself while drinking from a bottle. I’ll try to take a picture of that next time I ageplay.
(also little fun fact. the camera I’m holding in the picture below, together with the lens and the flash, weigh around 1.4kg together, or 3.1 pounds.. When I’m taking these selfies, I’m holding the weight with 3 fingers xD.. I’m one of those people who never uses a camera strap)
Thank you for this Ask! xD I have a funny relationship with formula, but I can only tell this secret to people who I know really well! Anyway, yes I like drinking formula from a bottle. I’ll lay down in my bed (but slightly sit up against the wall with a pillow in between), hug my shark plush and reach my arm around the plush to hold the bottle to my mouth. I have an Avent bottle (before they changed the design of it, maybe I should get another one). I like to pretend that someone else is holding the bottle for me.. but that’s coucherequin dreaming ^^;;. Maybe I’ll drink up half the bottle, feel that my tummy is getting all warm and full, and later finish the other half.
I also like drinking green tea from my bottle.. I really like this, but a word of caution from this diapered apex predator: tea stains the plastic and the nipple of the typical bottle. But if you’re ok with that, then go for it ^^. In the past I’ve also drank juices from a bottle but it doesn’t give me that babyish feeling (although it is very tasty).
Hm I’m sorry, I should update my blog’s description; I no longer live in the Netherlands. I moved to Belgium a few months ago (I’m a traitor, I know, but I had a really good reason to move!). I buy diapers from eurodl, but I can also recommend saveexpress because the latter has much more choice. I think my friend @cofftee would recommend saveexpress. Also, @emma-abdl has modelled for saveexpress before, which makes the world feel a little smaller.
Why don’t you have a look at those webshops to see what you think about the Rearz Princess Pink, huh? ^^ Those are one of my most fav diapers now
This question pops up quite often in my Asks and in my private messages. If you’re into this and you’re looking for super cute pictures of a girl doing this, please have a look at @asiandiapercutie ‘s blog. I’m sorry, I’m not into this myself ^^. I am into wearing cosplays while ageplaying, though! Cute, isn’t it?
Hello, thank you for this Ask! Usually I wear a diaper on Saturday or on Sunday for a few hours. This makes me really happy and it makes me feel relaxed. And at the end I can release some of my built up ‘tension’ oops ^^;;. I don’t think it would help me to relax if I did it more often. The idea seems tempting, but it’s better to do it only once per week to keep it special!
On a relevant note.. it does take me a lot of time to take pictures of myself ageplaying. And because some diapers are quite hard to get, I tend to take pictures of myself whenever I wear a special diaper. I really do my best to make it a fun experience for myself but also for you.. !
coucherequin: XD this diaper is so big and so thick. I drown in it. It felt really good to wear it ^^ See my archive | Donate | Coucherequin on Instagram | Coucherequin’s blog | Fetlife
About a week ago I received a notice in my mailbox that I wasn’t home when they came to deliver a package xD. I wasn’t sure what it was, because I hadn’t ordered anything (that I could remember). When I looked … Continue reading →
Thank you for this Ask! (Also, my Ask queue is empty right now, so feel free to ask me stuff ^^)
A couple of years ago, I told myself that I wanted to finish my PhD before I was 30 years old (when I started it, I was 24 years old, so that was entirely reasonable). Albeit with a little bit delay, I was able to complete my doctoral thesis and defend it and attain my doctor (PhD, not medical) title in 2020. Seeing that I’m still 29 at the moment of writing this, it seems that I was successful ^^.
In this year, I also wanted to get an answer from myself what I’d be doing with my future. A PhD is not per se a university education, but in a way it is. Therefore, at some point you will want to know what’s next. I was unfortunately not able to get a clear answer from myself what I’d like to do the next decade or so. Instead, I essentially postponed the decision by applying for a postdoc position, and somehow managing to get a postdoc job offer. To be clear, the options which one has after a PhD are quite broad; from continuing in academia (via a postdoc), to joining a pharmaceutical company as a researcher or program manager/director, all the way to working as a (medical) writer or even starting up your own company. Of course, one can choose to completely exit the whole field and do a random job xD. Though, if you choose not to use the acquired skillset, you may feel guilty for having used up so much public research funding, which was essentially spent on you to train you to become a scientist.
I told myself that after finishing my PhD, I’d like to move back to where I was born, or at least closer to it, to reconnect with family and friends. This bullet point is a little bit difficult, because I do live closer by, but pandemic fear has increased our distances. I was successful at finding a job closer to where I was born, and I can in fact visit family and friends more often. Though, some of my friends don’t wish to see me, because they are afraid of becoming ill. I won’t further comment on this ^^;;;, let’s see how this will evolve.
I kinda wanted to get my driver’s license in 2020, but I doubt I’ll do it this year. Maybe next year? Who knows. I can still bike whenever and wherever I want to xD.
As with any year, I wanted to learn more about photography and I’d like to improve my photography skill. Especially taking timed photos of myself. You can be the judge of that xD. I’ll stop for now, this message is too long and won’t be read.
