That was Summer '76

Trying to learn digital art slowly... I’ve spent almost two days on this :C

Used tracing/study references for practice and added my own details/colors while learning. I’ve always wanted to draw my baby Becca when she was younger with her Orthodox cross ♡ (and no, it’s not a hickey from Patrick—I tried to make a birthmark lmao)

The idea behind this little drawing is that it was a picture Becca gave Patrick before they parted ways and he left for Harvard.

I also tried drawing Patrick to finish what I've started a year ago...

I hope maybe one day I’ll be able to draw them together properly 🥺

Important Update on Till Death Do Us Part (PatBecca)

Hey darlings!

After a lot of reflection (and some very helpful feedback), I’ve decided to fully rework Till Death Do Us Part from a reader-insert fic into a proper Canon x OC story featuring Rebecca Grace Rice as Patrick Bateman’s female counterpart in the American Psycho universe.

First things first: I totally get why the original version didn’t work for some of you as a reader-insert. Giving the “reader” a specific name, family, history, and personality pulls you out of the immersion that true (Y/N) fics are meant to provide. That wasn’t fair, and I’m sorry if it frustrated anyone. My intention was never to mislead—I just fell in love with this character and her dynamic with Patrick along the way.

So, to give the story the space it needs: I’ve already removed it from AO3, and over the next few days I’ll be archiving/deleting the old Tumblr posts too. Clean slate.

What’s coming in the new version:

A complete rewrite, told mostly from Patrick’s POV (because being in that beautifully unhinged head is irresistible), with select chapters from Rebecca’s perspective to add depth and contrast.

Heavy focus on arranged-marriage coding, but done subtly and naturally—no caricatured ultimatums or shotgun weddings. Think quiet parental maneuvering, post-’87-crash financial pressures, overlapping social circles, and the slow, complicated realization that aligning with each other might actually make sense… even if neither of them wants to admit it.

Shifting the dynamic away from pure enemies-to-lovers toward something closer to childhood friends to lovers with strong love/hate notes—familiar tension, old barbs that hide history, moments of genuine recognition mixed with sharp cynicism.

Rebecca’s background is getting a full glow-up: still new-money family (with tweaked lore for more nuance), born and raised in the New York orbit, sharply intelligent, sexually confident (she absolutely knows what she likes and isn’t afraid to own it), and working as a junior curatorial assistant in Modern and Contemporary Art at the Met. She’s not naive—she’s seen the emptiness of their world up close and chosen a path that feels (mostly) authentic to her.

I’m really excited about these changes. I think they’ll let the slow-burn tension breathe, make the eventual pull between them feel earned and complicated, and keep everything drenched in that specific 1980s yuppie horror we love.

Bonus: I’ve always pictured Rebecca with Kate Austen from Lost (Evangeline Lilly) as her face claim—that dark hair, sharp features, quiet intensity, and underlying strength just fit so perfectly opposite Patrick. God, I love how they look together in my head. It’s been my secret casting ever since I started writing them. Fun fact: Kate was exactly 27 in Season 1 of Lost, which lines up perfectly with how I imagine Rebecca in 1987—the same age as Patrick (both 27 that year), but technically a few months older (born May 1960 vs. his October 1960). The tiny seniority amuses me endlessly.

Also, huge shoutout and endless gratitude to one of my dearest friends who’s jumping in to help me rebirth this story—brainstorming, beta-reading, keeping me sane through all the rewrites. I couldn’t do this without you!

To everyone who read, kudos’d, commented, or reblogged the original—thank you thank you thank you. Your kindness kept me writing these two toxic disasters. I hope you’ll stick around and give the new version a chance when it starts posting. If the shift to OC isn’t your thing anymore, I completely understand—no hard feelings ever.

In the meantime, expect lots of lore content: OC interviews, moodboards, playlists, late-80s aesthetic posts, and little snippets to introduce the revamped Rebecca.

Thank you for being so lovely and supportive while I figure this out. Can’t wait to share the new era of Patrick x Rebecca with you!🥹💞
