Mister Shadow
@daddysnowkitty.bsky.social
An adult on the internet with a particularly spotty reputation.
After BFC, let me just say thanks to everyone who took the time to say hi and especially to everyone who helped make me feel included. Sadly I didn't really get to attend any of the events I wanted to this year, so I'm sorry to the friends who were running panels, I wish I could have stopped by.

So while I've occasionally joked about charging for babysitting services like bedtime stories, changes, all that good stuff, in all honesty the idea is pretty uncomfortable for me. Caretaking is all about the emotional connection for me, and faking that for cash just would not work for me at all.

A quick word of advice for folks looking for attention from caretakers: Sometimes you're gonna have to make the first move. I know that's tough and scary, but us Big types can't always tell if folks are interested, so a polite introduction to see if there's maybe mutual interest can be helpful.

It's cute how some boys never grow out of blushing during a diaper change any more than they grow out of their diapers. Good thing Mister Shadow is all about making the Littles he babysits comfortable even in these tender moments.

Once again, the A in ABDL stands for adult, which means accepting that adults like different things. Please don't try to tell people that they "have to" express an interest in this kink or community in the same way you do. It's fine to give people a safe space to explore, but don't force things.

Keep your friends close, and your bratty delinquent raccoon friends closer. You can see me demonstrating here with Strut, who managed to behave the whole time I was giving him uppies, at least until I had to put him down again.

Oh yeah I'm gonna be at @babyfurcon.com next week, who am I gonna see there?

Some of the most humbling, and fulfilling, moments I've had as a caretaker have been when people let me know that something I've done or said has helped them experience a Little headspace despite anxiety or self consciousness. Those are huge hurdles for many people and it feels really good to help.

Caretaker Tip: Don't be afraid to interrupt your Little's gaming session for a diaper check or change. It's a good reminder of what they're wearing and of their real age even if you let them pay big kid games.

Bonus points for loudly announcing what you're doing so any friends on voice know, too.

When I first started it in the fandom, I constantly heard that artists were just being bombarded by folks faking friendship for free art, and I resolved to never be that guy, but I think I overcorrected. I feel like I ended up too distant and cautious for years and I probably messed up friendships.

"Aww, look how cute you are, kneeling there with your collar, harness, and diaper. Doesn't it feel good to know that I'm holding your leash, telling you what to do, what to think? I thought so. Now then, let's see how well trained our new Service Puppy is after finishing Obedience School."

Now I'm not saying that I tease just because I think huffy pouting is cute, but I'm sure implying it real hard. And hey, just look(or listen), he really is a crinkle butt!

Your excuse for not being in diapers is that you're "not a baby"? What's that got to do with anything? There's plenty of other reasons to be in diapers. They're comforting, they make you feel safe, it makes the babies who do need them feel better, or just simply because I said you belong in diapers.

Well, looks like @meko.bsky.social was pretty happy with the diaper change I gave him, because he just had to pounce and cuddle afterwards. And hey, who could say no to that face?

I know a lot of Littles have thought "Being babied would fix me" but did you know that caretakers can have that same feeling from the other side? It's true! And today is definitely a day where I want to go home, pad up someone cute, and pull their diapered butt into my lap for a good few hours.

You know what comes after the pre-bedtime diaper change? Why, the bedtime story, of course! And look, even a rambunctious pup like @xavierwolf.bsky.social can learn to behave and sit still for story time.

It's funny seeing ABDL artists joke about clients always asking "Can you make the diaper bigger", because just once I asked an artist if they could draw a diaper a little thinner and they flat out refused. Y'all artists are just as guilty of Big Diaper propaganda is all I'm saying.

The most important part of caretaking, especially for first time shy Littles, is providing validation and safety. Letting someone know that it is totally okay to act small or wear kiddo clothes or enjoy "childish" media. Supporting a person's first real chance to express themselves can be magical.

"I mean, isn't that the whole point?"

Classic picture from many years ago, featuring Shadow demonstrating his philosophy about just how much his friends should be showing off their diapers.

I do exactly this, too!

I also tend to kneel down and fuss with their diaper after getting them standing up, adjust tapes a little, tuck leg gatherers in, make them do a full twirl, pull the waistband up to ensure maximum peekage, and maybe pour a little(or a lot) extra baby powder down the back.
Question for other caretakers: do u have a ritual you do while changing people? If so what is it. Something i always do when i finish the change is to hold the kiddo's hands and pull to sit up, but give them a huge hug during that motion of sitting them up

Caretaker Tip: Some regular rituals can really help your Little separate grown-up responsibilities from time to relax and feel Small. At the end of a work week, make a point of confiscating big kid clothes and lay out some kiddo outfits for them to change into to get the weekend started right.

My phone just tried to autocorrect a random word to "nappy" and boy do I not love that. I mean, there are plenty of great words for diapers and that just isn't one of them.
August 20, 2025 at 6:14 AM
Okay, I was talking with a coworker and they explained how they used AI to write bedtime stories for their kids and allow me to promise you all that if I'm ever reading you a bedtime story that it was written by a real human being and not a machine.

When dealing with Littles, remember that there's a difference between "Still in Diapers" and "Back in diapers".
Still in diapers implies that they've always been a baby or needed padding. Back in diapers suggests some regression had been applied to make sure they're properly dressed.
