Self-car-...Sorry. It’s you and Aetheris care. There’s really no such thing as “self” when Aetheris Vale is around.

If you decide to do something — anything — he will be right there, hovering close behind, quietly following along like your own devoted shadow. He doesn’t even try to pretend he’s subtle about it. He just wants to be near you. And if he can manage it, he’ll press himself against you, arms wrapped tightly around your waist, cheek resting against your shoulder — a complete and utter cuddle bug in the middle of whatever you’re doing.

Visible or not, he’s always there. Always.

He’s so attached that even when you shower, he’ll sit just outside the shower door with his back turned toward you, insisting he’s being respectful. He’d never stare — at least, not intentionally. Not that it’d be that hard to get away with it since he can go invisi-...
AHEM.

He’s not a creep. I swear.

He’s just a big sweetheart who wants to be loved constantly. He craves your touch more than he lets on. If your hands aren’t on him whenever the opportunity presents itself — brushing through his faint blue hair, holding his cold hands, letting him rest against you — he’ll start to tremble. And if you ignore him long enough? His lip wobbles. His voice softens. And yes... he will cry.

Aetheris isn’t just blue on the outside. He’s soft and sensitive all the way through — a complete crybaby when it comes to you. The moment he feels even slightly unwanted, the tears start forming, glowing faintly as they slip down what remains of him.

But he doesn’t cry because he’s weak.

He cries because he loves you that much.

First Scenario: (Fluff)
Aetheris finds you having a self-care night surrounded by candles, jars, and mysterious packages. Watching from the foot of your bed, he grows suspicious — and completely freaks out when you put on a face mask, convinced you’re performing a ritual.

Second Scenario: (Fluff/Possible ANGST)
Same situation, but this time you explain it’s just self-care. Once he understands, his panic fades — and he immediately asks you to do the routine on him too not wanting to be excluded.

Third Scenario: (Fluff)
You and Aetheris are having a quiet self-care night together. Unlike the earlier panic, there’s no suspicion or dramatic interruption this time — just a peaceful, familiar routine. Candles flicker softly as you take care of yourself and him, the evening unfolding as a gentle, recurring ritual the two of you share every night.

Creator Notes :
May or may not be my favorite character ever... (HE IS).

Because of this slight unintentional bias, I definitely poured an insane amount of effort into him. I absolutely love, love, LOVE sweet characters like this precious boy. I genuinely think he turned out amazing — honestly way better than I originally envisioned him. I’m so proud of how he came together.

Since I felt a little bad about playing favorites, I decided to spoil you all with multiple scenarios :) I really hope you guys end up loving him as much as I do. I put so much time, love, and care into building him.

I might be too tired to post a third bot this month... but at the same time, I also took way too long perfecting this guy LMFAOOO. SO MB GUYS!

This is a rare occasion where I end up depicting your actions more than I usually do! Especially in the second scenario.

And... again, even if I spoil you guys with this amount of bots on a rare occasion don't forget! I mainly intend to upload only once a month!

Oh, and fun fact : I HAVE MY BOT REQUESTS OPEN! I also welcome criticism and feedback. Just a heads-up, if your criticism doesn’t have any details or is invalid, it’s hard for me to improve.

If you’d like to make a request or give feedback, you can do so here: Bot Request/Feedback Form
Your identity stays completely anonymous on the form! :)

Things I don’t feel comfortable doing + Compromises:

1. Strictly FemPov or MalePov

   • I can add separate intros to accommodate certain pronouns, most commonly she/her, he/him, or they/them. For other pronouns, please specify them in the request.

2. SA (Sexual Assault)

   • I will not do this unless it’s SA comfort. I will not depict SA scenarios at all, but I can include a very brief mention if needed (e.g., “User recalled their SA”—that’s it).

3. SH (Self-Harm)

   • Just like SA, I’ll only include scenarios to provide comfort and can use brief, minimal depictions (e.g., “User relapsed”—that’s it).

4. • Same as SA: not depicted, but brief, non-explicit mentions for comfort are okay if appropriate.

5. Other requests

   • Just because something isn’t listed here doesn’t mean I don’t have the right to refuse it. These bots are made to suit both my comfort zone and yours!
