Added example: Motes Played —

Added DiffLines:

* Motes in the [[Literature/PostSelf Post-Self]] book ''Motes Played'' chooses to interact with the world as a child most of the time due to her [[GrowingUpSucks obsession with play]], though some days are dedicated to "Big Motes", where she appears as an adult. She leans ''hard'' into this, treating her cocladists A Finger Pointing and Beholden as her parents.

* ''WesternAnimation/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries'': Adrian Toomes, AKA the Vulture, designs a suit that lets him drain the life force from people, turning them old and making him young, though this is usually only temporary. When he absorbs Spider-Man's life force, he also sucks out Spidey's spider mutation. He goes to Doctor Conners for help and he agrees, but Conners double-crosses Vulture, giving Spider-Man his youth back, but leaving Vulture with the mutation. Because of this, Toomes now switches back and forth between his old self, his young self, and a mutant spider.

The Dexter's Laboratory example is not this trope, because there are no characters who swap back and forth between two ages regularly and/or at will.


* Subverted with one ''WesternAnimation/DextersLaboratory'' episode where Dexter hatches a plan for himself and Dee Dee to become adults in order to watch an R-rated movie. By mistake, Dee Dee knocks over the wires of the aging machine, then re-plugs them in the opposite sockets, which causes the machine to go sour, leaving Dexter and Dee Dee's ages completely unchanged... [[FountainOfYouth but turning everyone around them into babies]].
