Welcome to the challenge of August, which is going to be all about Time; mostly fiction dealing with Time Travel, but also other topics to do with Time, and the manipulation thereof.
Sometimes you can still do time-warping shenanigans while remaining rooted in the present, such as when characters – for whatever magic or scientific reason – suddenly regress in age. So todays prompt is, what are your favorite and least favorite stories about characters becoming younger? Not necessarily a kid again, but that of course counts
Bonus Prompt: What kid-version of characters were the least belieavable as themselves? Who were too similar to their adult self? Should the mindset even change?
Extra Bonus Prompt: When has this trope been effectively leveraged for drama, or even horror?
Paradox Bonus Prompt: What franchise would be fun to see do a “turned into a kid” plot?
Special CRINGE Bonus Prompt: Worst case of a child actor trying to act like an adult/most unintentionally creepy cases of adults in kids bodies?
