Hello 👉👈 could you make a Ishmael x reader hc about how a relationship would go and what her feelings would be towards a reader who is head over heels for her?? Over time, of course. Anyway I loved your general Ishy headcanons and like I just love how reasonable she is and how well she communicates!! Thank you!! 💕⚓️
ishmael birthday tomorrow....... was saving this request on purpose
headcanons for ishmael with a head over heels reader
🫧at first it's just a little embarrassing. she doesn’t have bad self esteem or anything, she's a fairly confident woman and secure enough in herself, it's just that she isn’t used to having such rapt attention on her. she's flattered, really
🫧if you're the sort to stumble over your words, to giggle nervously and forget what you're saying because you're just so flustered, she finds it... cute. after she realizes what's going on, that you're not just feeling unwell or suffering some after effects of battle that a rewind couldn't fix. it's a little ridiculous to watch, but endearing because it's you
🫧she doesn't like to be bombarded. i can see her getting overwhelmed by it, maybe even finding it a little suspicious if it's especially soon into the relationship. she's not very materialistic; the things she has are few, but they hold tremendous sentimental value to her. anything you give her, whether it be handmade or just personalized, has a special place in her room, on her person, etc. so she wants any gestures to have real meaning.
🫧in her own way, she's head over heels for you too. she just shows it differently. your attention and affections are appreciated, even if she doesn't always know the best ways to reciprocate, or her attempts at doing so look more subdued.
i really liked how these turned out!! the ocean took me a really long time but honestly i think it looks really good. (i may have focused i little too much on the ocean...)
ishmael's face was also really fun to draw. initially she wasn't supposed to have an expression but i have her a mouth, and i like how pensive it makes her look.
and finally, my first earnest attempt at drawing a detailed cliff face. i like this rock in particular, haha
the composition was inspired by this john waterhouse painting:
