[how-obvious]

happy birthday to the cutiest to ever patootie

[how-obvious]

duckling miwi <3

promised @exhaustedandboreddd I'd draw duck!mike after she let me used her adorable duckbyers fanart as my pfp. I hope you like it!

happy holidays, byler nation!

(ref pic and more grid paper duck byler doodles im not rlly proud of but still wanted to share:)

tried and failed to draw duck!mike in a similar fashion to your duck!will (left), so i drew him as a magpie drake (will would be a khaki campbell) -second and third dood- (v tall, b&w feathers and little spots and markings)

(yes his folded wings make a heart when he grows up)

tiny, more cartoonish byler dood

[how-obvious]

st and byler doodle dump (mostly trolls au and static poses to figure out how to draw everyone)

hcs for the party's music tribes (if you can't read my handwriting: lucas, funk+rock; mike, full pop -part glitter; will, full rock; max, full pop (art pop); dustin, pop+classic; el, techno+rock -and pop via henry's blood ig?)

^ whenever mike kisses will's forehead, he makes sure to put his bangs back in place

the last doodle was based on @/mimibeingmimi's post

willow and s5!lesbyler my beloved (can you tell i have no idea how to draw noses :D top right doodle could be snowball!willow ig?)

darling ranger dustin is a classic+pop troll (wearing el's s1 wig + he has tiny classic troll wings that do not let him fly, but he does get teeth eventually)

el and family across the seasons <3 hcs: hop taught her to ride a bike, but only with training wheels, and she and joyce had a blast getting into new """feminine""" rituals between s3 and s4 (also yes, hop's a country+pop troll)

my two fav girlies, both full pop trolls but they make their own rules <3

^ first concepts be crappy, it is law, but since i always struggle with mike's hair and it doesn't look that terrible here you go (will's hair looks so baddd srry buddy)

[how-obvious]

still on my st trolls au lmao -some fem!byler and fem!miwi doods, anyone?

^ instead of a friendship watch, millow wear friendship bracelets with petrified candy in each other's colors <3

^ i think mike/mich (but moreso mich) was the first to realize will/willow's hugs and good bye kisses one day suddenly felt different, but good different -not that she'd know what to call that feeling yet lol. also, while mike/mich's ears would gradually drop through their teen years (and almost nobody would notice :')), you better believe just somebody's smile was enough to make them go up.

^ pictured: most evenings of november and the first half of december of '84. i think the girls, as kids, used to be more physically affectionate (even with willow's newfound feelings) and, with willow having so much trouble falling asleep during winter, they would cuddle and fall asleep watching movies while tangling their socks for warmth <3

(also yes, willow's pj pants have sparkles and stars)

more hcs under the cut

as shown in my last wip, will (and willow here) is a rock troll -new wave, to be precise. joyce is half pop -making her folk rock-, and will takes after her with his slightly brighter colors. jon's -post punk-, meanwhile, are a bit duller, and he was the only one who inherited the pop trait of "going gray" after going though so much shit + yeah lonnie's muddy colors, for starters, didn't help)

all the wheelers are pop trolls, with karen being a glitter troll, mike (mich here) and nancy only getting some glitter freckles (mike more than nancy), and holly almost being her mom's splitting image, minus the texture of her hair and the lack of glitter.

----karen, like many other pop trolls whose lives are not exactly full of joy (e.g. Chrissy), wears body paint to hide her dulling colors, as well as some special type of earings that hold her ears up, since they have also gotten droopy. in s1, the party uses them as part of el's disguise to hide the shape of her techno ears, as techno trolls were not common in 'the heartland', much less genetically altered techno-pop-rock trolls with powers who are actually a rock troll's alter manifesting in the material world

-----funfact: karen and holly (third pic) are the only wheelers who wear their hair up, as all pop trolls should. nancy used to do the same before losing barb and, from then on, tried v hard to get her hair to stay up while dating steve, but ultimatelygave up altogether during her mission with jon in s2. mike had the plausible deniability of keeping his hair short yet somewhat voluminous (making it appear up, moreso in s3) until s4, when he allows himself to let it fall completely. as for mich here, as a kid she always went for short yet puffy ponytails and pigtails, yet they always so-happened to drop to the base of her head (except for s3, when she donned a madonna-inspired side ponytail that she desperately tried to keep up lmao.) in s4, she cuts her hair quite short and it, naturally, stays down wink wink.

-----ted went mostly gray many years ago. He only wears body paint outside, unlike karen (and nope, no substance brings back colors, not even temporarily :c )
