may have seen another byler fan in passing today. they were wearing sort of emo clothes with an 'i love nerds' tshirt and a suspicious combination of a blue button and yellow button on their bag. which could mean nothing but you know

So needy...

(Mike, in his own sexual fantasies, sees himself get absolutely demolished by Will btw <3)

Some close ups <33 also I want to add that this one has a bunch of tiny details so if y'all want, you can zoom in on those. Like especially all the little hearts and movement lines and the little droplets on their skin and dripping off Mike's hair

More close ups are under the cut ^^ + me rambling about my art and pointing out my favorite details again <3

I think my own personal favorite parts of this art are first of all all the poses and how dynamic they are. I used a bunch of reference pictures for this one (and changed/added some of my own stuff to some of them) and I feel like whenever I do that it always turns out so nice and looking very lived in. Like just in general I'm so proud whenever my art doesn't look stiff and instead is so full of movement and I think that worked out really well here. I also love the detail of Will pulling up Mike's sweater while Mike is leaning over him and the way they're like ear to ear in that drawing and how you can see a bit of Will's hair peek out behind Mike's sweater. Also the way you can see Will's stomach peek out between their legs. Another part I love is the way Mike is basically sitting On Will's stomach in the middle left drawing and similarly to the hair, Will's knees peeking out behind Mike a little. I also like Will's sketchbook design that he painted on it himself AND I'm very proud of the shadow under the sketchbook, like the way the sketchbook throws a shadow onto the couch. It's only a small thing but I like what it does for the perspective <3 Also in that bottom drawing Mike has his one leg kinda crossed under the outstreched one. Idk if that is understandable how I'm describing it but yeah. I also love the little stars at the top and Mike's open mouth there, plus his foggy glasses look so cute and his hair is supposed to be like wet with sweat. Also a detail that probably nobody would notice if I didn't point it out is that I made Will's hair a little longer in the back, so that it peeks out more and covers more of his neck simply cause I think that would look so so cute and pretty on him!!<3 also in the drawing where they kiss I wanted it to look like Will is pulling up Mike's sweater to undress him, that's why I wrote the "pull up" there lol. Also Mike in Will's lap!!! I love that!!!!! Makes me very happy ^^

Lastly I'm seriously just so so in love with the colors and how vibrant they are, it makes it all looks so nice and bright but also still intimate cause of the shadows. Also I'm really proud of how the colors blend into each other a lot, especially for the background. I think it makes it look nice because everything else is so full and so the background being just one plain color wouldn't have looked good. Like it would have looked empty in comparison to the rest. And the way I drew it here it also gives the drawing so much nice texture. Yeah, I'm just very proud of the colors <33

Bonus: the two color palettes I mainly used for this one and the ones I've just in general been using a lot for my byler fanart <33

Basically all the colors except for hair and skin are from one of these two palettes (especially the bottom one). Also the elmax one is one I use for El and Max as well whenever I draw them cause I think it fits them :>

common misconception i’d like to discuss:

will does NOT open up easily. never has. it’s understandable how many may get that impression: his emotions are made very, very visible to the audience because his arc is internal and emotion based. this is mistaken for him being open about them… not true. he’s a closed book with his heart on his sleeve, which is an interesting contradiction

when you look at how this actually plays out for him, mike, joyce, jonathan, and everyone else don’t see or understand what’s going on with him for a really long time. mike is seen as someone who is repressed and private with his emotions, but in actuality he opened up quite easily when will provided support. note that in return, will never got to be honest with mike for the entirety of season 4. he only used his personal feelings in their conversations when they could help mike best; not to express any of his personal truth. because of this, he didn’t receive any support.

will keeps feelings to himself because he hates himself for his sensitivity and feels like people will think lesser of him for it. he never needed to prove that he’s anyone else’s idea of “strong” (as in, tough or above feeling emotion), he needed to do the hardest thing of all, being vulnerable and opening up of his own volition, for his OWN sake and no one else’s. this is why it was so crucial for him in particular to come out; his silence was becoming his tomb.

a confident will is a will who can smile, cry, and be angry with others freely, without any fear of repercussion :,)

every time will said 'stupid' in ch14 of ttmd;ttms i was getting flashbacks to the rain fight aftermath then i realised will feels just as stupid right now as he did back then because so many years have passed and yet his belief in the fact that mike will never want him hasnt changed and now i want to cry

[whatmakesgreen]

I need Mike to realise it's love.

This thing between them, the thing Will won't say, the problem they fall back to that Mike can't name or understand. He's said everything under the sun that defines it to himself, how much he wants Will's time and his affection and to care for him. How much he does care for him. How he always has. Change to him means losing Will to college and the rest of their lives ahead, but to Will it means confessing and becoming more to each other. He doesn't want things to change, but if change means he gets to stay with Will, he's okay with it.

Mike, it's love.
