Thank you @holylustration!

Get To Know You Meme

Three Ships: I have so many, and I'm a sucker for reader-inserts, so a lot of them revolve around that (ah, cringe self-indulgence xD) Other than that, keeping it in Warhammer:

Rogue Trader/Heinrix

Rogue Trader/Nocturne

Sevatar/Rushal (don't ask, and don't judge me).

I could have put RT/Marazhai, but I figured I'd do something a little out of left field instead.

First Ship: I genuinely don't even remember. Probably myself and some character. Maybe Link from Legend of Zelda?

Last Movie: Uhhhhh....I was in the room when my husband was watching the new Ghost Busters, does that count?

Last Song: I Feel Like I'm Surfin' On A Giant Pizza Slice Through Outer Space by MC Snax. (XD)

Currently Reading: I'm attempting to finish Ward by JC McCrae (Wildbow), a web novel, but ADD has been kicking in pretty hard.

Currently Watching: Nothing particularly specific. I've been letting a playlist of spooky tik toks play while I'm at work. Off work, it's usually a mix of game let's plays, animal videos, cooking shows, or anime with my husband.

Currently Eating: Toast with cinnamon honey butter, and drinking water.

Currently Craving: Besides an ever present craving for chocolate ice cream, nothing really. XD

Tagging: Anyone who would like to.

I've seen a lot of artists post their beautiful drawings here. As an artist myself and for other artists too, can we perhaps get an LIs reacting to seeing a sketch of themselves in MC's sketchbook? I think it would be such a. Cute little scenario <33333

a/n: this was really sweet!! I myself am an artist as well, so this was very fun to write :)) made it different for each boy because I know people react differently to someone else seeing their drawings + accommodates a few different types of art. enjoy!

+ really restraining myself here because I love writing it intimate and emotional, but xyx would definitely pull a "okay I like it picasso"

Li's reacting to seeing a drawing of them

Nightowl (sketch/doodle)

your current sketchbook had been nightowl's notebook. he had only used a little bit of it before he didn't need it anymore, so you had stole took it for your own sketches.

he had found it laying down on the bed once. (you hadn't scribbled out his name at the front, instead added a '+ y/n!' right after his name. he beamed). he had picked it up to see some of his old notes, skimming through his old (dreadful) handwriting from back when he was still in school, until he stopped at a page.

his eyes widened when he sees himself in your artstyle. he knew you were into drawing, but he didn't know you drew anything else besides doodles of the bloomic characters, but here it was. a sketch of him, with his eyes closed and mouth opened in a smile you told him how much you loved, and a little speech bubble beside him that read "cutie <3 "

nightowl literally takes a picture so he could have it saved in his phone. he doesn't even tell you he saw it, but the next time you opened the book to continue drawing, you'd find a little sticky note on the page you drew him.

saw your drawing, you're so talented! I love you so much <33!!

Quest (digital art)

you sneak glances at quest, who was busy typing away at an email from his laptop. working from home had worked in your favor. you had been trying to draw quest for a while now, and this proved to be a perfect opportunity to do so. unfortunately, your boyfriend had superhuman peripheral vision, and he starts to become suspicious of you sneaking glances at him.

to be fair, you weren't even being subtle about it. you'd look up at him, look back down to fix a tiny detail, then look back up. it didn't take a genius to know what you were doing, but quest pretends not to know. at least until you were finished. it was easier this way. he could concentrate, and you could work with it.

he fights the urge to chuckle at your concentration, though. he finds your annoyed huffs and scrunches of your nose to get the detail down just right absolutely adorable.

you didn't show him afterwards, and he let it go. he didn't want to force you to show him what you made, but it did make him deflate a little, thinking you had given up on it.

the next day he opened his laptop, he finds a print with your unmistakable signature in the corner, and a little heart next to it. a smile made its way to his face, as he sticks the print on the wall where his work was.

he calls you afterwards, and you could tell how much he loved it from the affection in his voice.

NakedToaster (traditional art)

"you can't not show me, you drew me didn't you?" toast asks, voice gentle with an edge. you could tell his curiosity was getting to him, "I've seen your art before, and i love it."

you sigh lightly, slowly giving in, "art is subjective,"

"I have good taste, then." he replies, as if that doesn't dismiss the meaning of subjective, and gently pries your book from your hands because they knew you wouldn't give it yourself. he did it slowly, though, as if he was giving you a chance to pull it away from him if you really didn't want to. you let him.

he takes a look at your drawing; pencil smudged to shade, sharp strokes blending with duller ones, his hair was unkempt, his glasses askew. you didn't draw him like a portrait to be hung, but more of a photograph for yourself. it was him; your toast. the one only you get to see, with his bed hair during gaming and his cheeks dusted red from small compliments. it felt personal, and he could read your admiration just by looking at it.

"you don't have to pretend," you say, rubbing your forearm when he was silent for a beat too long, taking it negatively, "its okay if you don't-,"

"its- its beautiful." he blurts, wanting to immediately dismiss your bad thoughts. his eyes remain on the drawing, sheepish at his sudden admission, but it was evident that he was being honest. you knew him, and you knew he doesn't lie, "i love it. I love you. so stop thinking so low and start giving yourself more credit,"

you sigh earnestly, feeling a heavy weight lifted off your shoulders as you lean into him.

Xyx (painting)

the paining of xyx and cat sat on top of the easel. you had spent a good amount of time on it, and now, stepping back to examine the final product, you smiles, satisfied.

it was absolutely perfect. there were a few bumps during it, but you had managed to cover them with little decorations. you had turned wrong brush of color beside cat into a leaf, and now you had decorated the background with different types of plants you had in your home. it was like a family portrait, you, xyx, cat and your beloved plants.

you hear the door open from behind you. you didn't have to look back to see who it was. the soft murmur of "jesus," followed by the feeling of his palm on your shoulder confirmed it was none other than your lover.

you hadn't realized it yet, but cat had slipped in just as the door closed, and once you noticed the little feline, it had already stepped on the splattered paint on the floor, paws on your canvas.

"you little troublemaker!" you laughed, pulling cat away before the whole easel was ripped to shreds, "look at you, taking all the credit," you chuckled, looking at the small paw in blue paint at the corner of your canvas that cat left, right over where your signature was.

"looks like I got cat's approval," you grinned up to your boyfriend who was still admiring the painting from afar, "did I get yours?"

"you're fucking amazing," he mused, walking over to place a kiss on your forehead. you got your answer.
