#she was genuinely a delight to draw 🫶

[bishicat]

Would you want to draw my girl Val? 👉🏼👈🏼

Of course!!! 🫶💖 Lemme know if you want the HD version cause I know tumblr can bungle the quality

[everettswritings]

I have nothing to say other than the usual “this is purely SFW, NSFW isn’t welcome. Begone!”

Hollyberry definitely spoils you, but Golden Cheese? Dear god, you’ll be spoiled rotten to the very core!

Just look at an item and she’ll be like “Oh, you want it? Here you go, it’s yours!”

Literally just gives you whatever you want whenever you want, there’s no stopping her. I genuinely can’t emphasize this enough!

Very much enjoys dressing you up, she can’t help but love to put you in adorable outfits!

Very, VERY affectionate! Even when you’re just chilling, coloring or something, she’ll be right next to you! There’s no way to pry this woman off of you

Kisses and hugs are definitely regular occurrences, almost a twenty four hour thing

Calls you the following: my baby, precious, my treasure, littlest, sweetest, cutie, and a lot more that would take a century to list

She is always incredibly delighted when you call her “mommy”, “mama”, or whatever! The first couple times you did that she was overjoyed to say the least

Everything you color or draw immediately goes straight to a place of honor higher than the fridge! That’s right, she hangs your works on the wall! There’s actually an entire wall dedicated to all your masterpieces, it’s a miracle that it’s not completely filled in yet.

Baby talk to the point where you can’t even understand her, even in a regressed state. Her speech has a tendency to devolve into verbal keyboard smashes because she wuvs you so much!(sorry for making you read the word “wuvs”)

Impure regression? Haha! Don’t even think about it! She will fix it effective immediately, she can’t have her little baby feeling sad or upset in any capacity!

And that’s it, everything else I can think of is more detail on how she’d spoil you to death. I was thinking about maybe including the other Cookies from this update, like “oh they babysit you when Golden Cheese is busy”, but honestly? With how clingy I head canon her to be I genuinely can’t see that at all! Anyways, have a good one y’all 🫶

ASHUTA IS SO COOL OHHH MYYY GODDD •□•!!!!!

Hi hi I loveeee your csm oc / insert ♡♡ THEYRE SO COOL Her lore is so interesting 💭💭 At least. The lore that I've seen so far is so interesting. AND HER DESIGN IS SO CUTE I ADORE IT SM 🏂🏾🏂🏾🏂🏾

I always love it when ocs break the "norm" of their universe (idk if that makes sense but her being a vampire when most, if not all of the supernatural entities are devils/Devil adjacent is so swag and cool and based I LOVE SEEING CHARACTERS LIKE THAT 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽)

Her and Aki seem so cute too :3cc I don't think you understand how STOKED I was to see them in the selfship tag. Saw it and ran around my room screaming (in spirit not in action) because YES !!! FINALLY!!! IM STARTING TO SEE MORE PEOPLE W/ CSM SELF SHIPS / OC X CC SHIPS !!!!

I wanna know all ur thoughts about Ashuta 💭💭 She genuinely seems like such a cool character they're so epic and awesome n cool n swag ((o(^∇^)o))

OMG HI!!!! IM SORRY I JUST SAW THIS Ahhh thank you so much!!! It's super exciting to met another CSM selfshipper!!!! :DDD I'd love to hear abt ur self insert omg I'm so glad you like her!!!!!!! It actually means a lot, she makes me really happy to work on :D

And trust me I will provide on Ashuta lore >:3 Here is The Food For Today. I didn't include art this time bc I have been eepy. I have ideas for long after this, but this is the general gist. I plan to eventually draw a lot (if not all) of this out. Here's her concept for her first appearance and mission (Chapters 14 to 20, or up to episode 7 in the anime):

So, after being found by Makima:

She is added to the team briefly after Denji and Power. I'm currently undecided at which point she should enter the story; I'm thinking about prior to Chapter 14.

Makima helps her find a place (up until this point, she's been homeless since becoming a vampire) near Aki's apartment, encouraging her to make friends. She suggests Denji could use a friend since he's similar to her (not fully human, rough background).

Ashuta believes that since she'll be on a team of devils and humans, she would be more likely to make friends since they should be more accepting, right? She shows up to the Hayakawa apartment with some food, trying to introduce herself as a new member of the team (and not disclosing herself as a vampire yet- Power can tell, but doesn't care enough to point it out).

Denji thinks at first she's friendly, but a bit too polite and wonders how someone like her got chosen by Makima. Power doesn't initially feel strongly about her either way, though she's delighted to meet Meowy.

Aki thinks she's polite (and finally someone easy for him to get along with on his squad), but questions why she became a devil hunter after a couple hours of them hanging out. She briefly explains that she's a vampire, and that her life was ruined by the Vampire Devil. Aki's tone quickly changes knowing she's not human, and the night is sort of abruptly ended.

CHAPTER 14:

She's integrated into the group with Chapter 14's mission in the hotel being her first (could be retconned later.)

She's a bit hurt with the talk of Aki and Arai not trusting "non-humans" and saying they don't have human rights, so she's quick to become very quiet since she assumed Makima's team of devils and humans meant she was more likely to be accepted.

Himeno can quickly tell that she looks upset and comes over to strike up a conversation, and the two make small talk throughout the mission. She tells her to not mind Aki, that he's just had bad experiences with devils. Ashuta protests that she's not a devil, but a devil makes an appearance before Himeno can respond.

Himeno discusses with Aki later in the mission that she's surprised Ashuta is so conscientious for a vampire- Aki shrugs and believes it's her being deceptive. Himeno goes to suggest he give Ashuta a chance.

CHAPTER 15:

Ashuta does bond a bit with Denji over the mission, both of them asking each other questions about their respective species ("So are you allergic to garlic?" and "Does it hurt when your chainsaws come out?")

CHAPTER 16:

In hopes of winning Aki's approval, Ashuta offers to help Aki hunt for the devil. She explains that since vampires don't really need to sleep much, she could help him all he wants.

Aki, unimpressed, asks why she's so hellbent on trying to please him when he doesn't care about wether she lives or dies as a non-human.

CHAPTER 18:

In the hysteria of facing the eternity devil, Ashuta finally snaps at Kobeni after trying to keep everyone calm the entire mission, telling her she's going to be a shit devil hunter if she freaks out at the slightest inconvenience. Kobeni yells back that it was easy for her to say, that she'd been calm and collected the entire mission because she can't die. Ashuta yells at her that pussying out and turning on her teammates made it more likely for all of them to die, and to shut the fuck up and help if she was going to stay a devil hunter. It certainly doesn't make Kobeni like her, but it shuts her up.

CHAPTER 20:

Ashuta joins the newbie welcome party. Denji questions how she can eat if she's a vampire, and she shrugs and explains that it's the same way devils eat- the only difference is human food isn't of nutritional substance to her and she doesn't retain any energy from it, she eats it for nostalgia purposes and the taste.

Ashuta lightens up when Makima joins the party, glad to see someone familiar- she considers Makima a friend, being the first person who was nice to her.

During the party, Makima asks Aki how Ashuta's first mission was, and wether she had done satisfactory. Aki admits that she did well, and Ashuta can't help but be a little happy at his approval.

As the night progresses, she gets drunk enough where she feels less afraid to approach Aki again. The two actually end up talking some. While drunk, Aki apologizes for the way that he had regarded her earlier in the night, and that she handled her first mission well, remaining composed in such a stressful situation .

Ashuta shrugs, and says it's fine- when she was turned into a vampire, she'd been shunned by everyone she once knew. She explains she still considers herself the same person she was before, but she fears rejection from humans more than she fears injuries from devils. He suggests she come stop by their apartment again sometime (more out of drunken guilt than actual like for her, but it's a start to them becoming friends).

As I have been deposited back on this earth by the swarm of butterflies that bore me aloft upon reading - butterflies of anticipation, delight, anxiety and fluttering sensuality - it is time to share my thoughts on this sunlit exchange, where so many vital things were said and unsaid…

He ruined you twice that morning?? TWICE? And your backside is sore? But…..WHY? I mean, is our suave gentleman harboring a spanking dom just under the surface? Or was it the edge of a kitchen counter that is to blame? A bureau? A SHOWER RAILING?? Inquiring minds want to know, Brooke…

“Something about him was addictive and you could already anticipate the pain his absence would create.” Yeah, he has a way of being like that, the bastard. Once Anthony Bridgerton is in your life, you’re not going to be the same. Ever. Sorry. That’s true of anyone who so much as has a conversation with him. But for those lucky enough to have him in their bed - idk if anyone else could ever compare. I think her reluctance to settle into this and start depending on him is as much her own self-doubt and insecurity as it is his overwhelming presence - the strength and protection and promise of satisfaction that he radiates. It hurts to know how good he is and then contemplate losing him, so just try and keep your distance as best you can now. But you’re going to fail. 

“If you’ll have me, I’d like to keep enjoying myself.” Oh good god, this man is such a horrific tease. Yes my lord, please keep enjoying yourself all over me, damnnn 🔥

Thank you for incorporating the illness story I shared into this 🫶 It’s an insane turn of events that upended a lot of lives for a while. I’m moved to see it given voice and treated with such care. 💙

“At this rate, you were going to need to keep an emergency fire extinguisher in your purse for your nether regions.” BWAHAHAAA 🤣🤣 Chapter 1 had the stallion, Chapter 2 has the fire extinguisher. Apt imagery to describe how we all feel about Anthony. 

I love that Anthony has developed the emotional maturity to ask how Reader is handling everything emotionally 🥹 and I love that Reader allows herself to be honest with him. Part of her new outlook on life right? Be unashamed in chasing what she wants, but also be honest about everything. No hiding in the shadows of doubt or shame. This concern and honesty are the groundwork for a beautiful relationship. 

Anthony calling himself a liar and/or fool, curious to know how Reader can get out of her own way, and acknowledging his obstinance. Do we have perhaps….an EVOLVING Anthony on our hands? A man who is maturing and learning over time to identify his flaws and perhaps even be eager to work on them??? This is a side of him that can only be brought out by a genuine interest in a strong woman, and can only be fully accomplished through a great love 🥲 Reader has such a unique perspective and such a strong will, she is inspiring him to be better and maybe she’s the one who will actually help him accomplish it! 🤞🤞

“I think it’s all about perspective.” I see what you did there. 😉

Awww, I love their banter about siblings. That she scared her parents off of any more kids, and that all of his siblings are specially crafted and unique pains in the ass 😆

“Leaning forward, he whispered conspiratorially, “Is it bad of me to hope they need you indefinitely?”” I have a crystal clear image of him saying this, exactly like he whispered to Edwina in the drawing room about never having time to read. Adorable, cheeky little bugger.

“We’ll just have to be bad together then.” Ohhhhh noooo, ohhhh here we go, with the eyes crossing. 😵 Girl, quick! Hand me that fire extinguisher!!!

“There are days when I would murder someone to get my hands on a New York bagel.” “Hmm,” he mulled over your words. “I see…” He continues on to tell her that his brother runs a bakery and that they would be MORE than accommodating to make her whatever shape and length baked good she needs….at any time of day or night 🥯🥖

I adore your distinction between excuses and reasons. So very Anthony-like to be pragmatic about them and find ways to overcome each obstacle. You are a sage speaking through a Viscount puppet. 💜

“I seem to recall you letting me unload on you at some point in the last twenty four hours.” 😳😳 Ummmm. EXCUSE ME SIR?? Is he saying what I think he’s saying?????

“You deserve to be thoroughly satisfied.” A sharp intake of breath rushed through your lungs at the feel of his foot lightly brushing the length of your calf under the table. “In every regard.” If this man hauls her chair over with his foot again, I SWEAR 🥵🥵🥵 Drag him into the ladies room is right!

“Family comes before all else.” Yaaaaassss! I see you in there season-one-boxing-ring-shouty-Anthony 

I love how calm, cool and collected Anthony stays as Reader is embarrassed under the table by her mother. He’s been there. He’s been there 1000 times being embarrassed by his mother and siblings, and being the one to do the embarrassing. It’s wonderful that this doesn’t phase him and that he is sweet and gracious - something else that makes these two a perfect pair.

Oh this boy and his innuendos - “She was extremely motivated. It really pushed me to my limits, I could barely keep up.” 🥵🥵🥵 Sir, you better shut your sweet mouth….but don’t.

My brain was also shrieking when he walked out - did they exchange numbers?? Immediately I was forming backup plans: he is certainly easy enough to find. Call his secretary. Go to his office. Research his company. If he can’t find her, she can certainly find him. But Reader’s self-doubt gutted me. Maybe he’s just full of pretty words and was grateful for the excuse to duck out 🥺 nooooooo

Standing ovation for Reader establishing boundaries with mom, speaking her truth and asserting independence. This wouldn’t be easy under normal circumstances, but Reader is under exceptional circumstances. I can’t imagine how hard parents would cling after nearly losing their child. But her encounter with Anthony seems to have lended her strength. The thrill of vivacity and self-determination she got from seeking him out and winning him, and the hope that maybe they may continue, are driving her out of the comfort of her nested routine. The time to live is now, and he is a damn good reason to do so.

Ummm, Mrs. Finch is amazing! “If I were your age I’d be doing the exact same thing. Maybe a little more frequently, but still…” Is she all of us? The smut aunties? 😂😂

The blue silk, the blue book. It has to be blue, of course 💙 This devil of a man. So clever to buy a planner and scribble his notes inside - his number, and their first date. I absolutely adore this. I would marry someone on the spot if they were this thoughtful toward me 😅 Such an Anthony gesture - something business-oriented, practical, high quality, with just tiny little peeks at his emotions scattered through. Ugh - THIS IS SO PERFECT!!!!

Another exceptional chapter my dear. You sent me on a screeching roller coaster of emotions poised over a lava pit of barely-contained lust. The groundwork is being laid and I cannot wait to see what comes next. 💙💙💙

Author’s Note - I know I had originally said that this would be a 4 Part series, but I may have underestimated how much content I had to work with. For now, I won’t put a number on it. Once again, @colettebronte saves the day with her beta reading. You would not want to see the mess of words I laid down before her keen eye gave it a once over. And to @eleanor-bradstreet, my sweet, sweet Eleanor… Thank you so much for walking in angst with me on this one. Your advice and companionship have been invaluable.

_____________________________________________________

Anthony Bridgerton was a man of his word, having made good on his promise to ruin you that morning. Twice. He had left your legs weak and your backside sore, but you were thoroughly satisfied. It was the kind of satisfaction that you were afraid to get used to. Getting attached to him would probably be a colossal mistake, but he wasn’t making it easy.

Sitting across from him in your favorite café, over breakfast you pondered what your life might look like with him in it on a more permanent basis. It was a dangerous game to play but you couldn’t seem to help yourself. Something about him was addictive and you could already anticipate the pain his absence would create. 

You were constructing a getaway plan in your head when his voice cut through your concentration. “Figured out how you’re going to ditch me yet?”

“What? Why would you say that?” Panic pitched your voice higher. “I wasn’t planning…”

“Yes you were,” he teased with a knowing grin. “I recognize the look. I practically invented it. Let me save you the stress. If after today you don’t wish to continue spending time with me, I’ll bugger off.”
