mad max, the party's zoomer - apoc au character details under the cut!
---
max's role in the party:
a runner - fast and quiet, tends to be the one who makes out with the most supplies
mechanic - knows best about cars and is one of the party's designated drivers (the other being mike)
medic - not as skilled with plants and medicine like will, but is good with first aid and physical treatment!
thief - who the party sends out if they need to "borrow" from other groups (second nature to her)
skills + hobbies:
incredible with melee weapons and hand-to-hand combat -> everything she knows was taught to her by billy
decent shot, but prefers using melee way more!
stealthy, like a ninja - her and el are the quietest in the party! max's fighting style is much more brawler-like despite this
good with card games (likes poker, speed and BS) -> likes to play them with the party a lot, but in particular with dustin and lucas
skateboards whenever she can -> her favorite thing to do next to driving!
really loves listening to music (fave artists are madonna, taylor swift and destiny's child) -> likes having el or will in shotgun so they can listen together!
quirks / fun facts:
whenever dustin goes to bed, max takes his current handheld and tries to beat his high score on whatever retro game he's currently playing (dustin does not know its max who's actively beating his ass on dig dug and tetris)
she took billy's jacket and baseball bat and made them her own - very complicated relationship with him and her upbringing with her stepbro made her very skeptical and suspicious of others (especially the party when she first met them)
when she steals things, she tries to keep the party in mind when grabbing extra :')
--- other notes: ladies and gentlemen, our newest addition - maxine! i'll admit, the two characters i think i'm most shoddy on for their characterizations are dustin and max. since max's story in my au is so heavily tied to her issues with trusting people again (specifically men) and family, i'm scared that it will make her character intrinsically tied to relationships instead of having her own character. i'll try my very best for it not to be that way, of course!
for now, she's how i imagine her in the show - she's still a cheeky, sarcastic, stubborn and awesome tomboy with insurmountable trust and distance issues, and i love her for that! the circumstances that drew her to the party are currently a secret, but i will establish now that billy is tied to her storyline and how the party meets her for the first time - while billy's an interesting character in his own right, i straight up don't like him :P so i'm warning people now that billy's more a plot device for max's arc and i probably won't be diving incredibly deep into his character. this is a party centric au after all!
when i was thinking of max's character, i was trying to keep the things she liked in mind and why she was so cool in the first place! ofc, she had to skateboard, even if it was only a little, and she's honestly just great at games in general (to dustin's dismay).
her upbringing in canon and the way she acts is pure "survival instinct" behavior. she knows first aid, she knows how to drive, she escapes vecna, she's incredibly independent! she's a fighter, through and through. she's also not really one to hesitate often to be hands on, and i can see it in the way she acted seasons 2-4 :')
lucas is almost done - maybe a few days give or take!
english teacher Mike Wheeler who comes across as this Serious Intimidating and pretentious jerk until you discover he's just a nerd who all the Troubled and 'Difficult' kids surprisingly love and look up to. No one knows how he does it. (he was, once, that angry troubled teen).
art teacher Will Byers who absolutely every student loves. You cannot hate him. Queer kids are especially drawn to him and he's the best at reassuring them and helping them feel comfortable and safe. He's always followed by at least two or three students and he gets the most notes, gifts and hand-made crafts during holidays.
and yes they're married
First of all, I love your Byler art so anything you’re inspired to draw is great and I’m excited to see it. However, since you asked for requests, I will say I’m a sucker for season 5 predictions of Possessed Will™️ Byler content and offer that as possible inspiration.
It’s not byler but this inspired me to do a possessed Will/season 5 postery thing! This is just the sketch but I’ll tag you when/if I post the final. Also thank you for loving my art and the ask!

Okay so high school sports AU where Jack is a hockey player with the nickname ‘Jack Frost’ because of his talents and Merida is the star archer. They never cross paths because different seasons and stuff, but Punz drags Merida to one of her gymnastics meets and Astrid is also on the team so Hiccup brings Jack to the same meet. And of course Jack and Merida are huge on school spirit and they both start screaming and yelling for their school and soon they’re both forcibly dragged out for really graphic threats and insults to the other team. Since the meet isn’t over and they both rode there with other people they have to sit out there with each other and of course they start talking. And once they start talking they start fighting mainly about what’s better hockey or archery. Soon they’re yelling again and Hiccup, Punz, and Astrid walk out and have to physically pull them apart. When they see each other in school again they both roll their eyes and make faces at each other. But Hiccup and Astrid became friends with Punz and so now they’re all sitting at the same lunch table. They try to avoid conversation with each other but soon they can’t help but talk about their rival schools and how much they suck at whatever sport and who they think will win this sports game or that championship. And before long lunch is over and they’ve made plans to go to all these games together. And at Jack’s first hockey game of the season Merida is in the crowd with Jack’s jersey number face painted on her cheek. In the locker room the guys poke fun at him and ask if she’s his girlfriend and he’s blushing like crazy because he totally wishes she was his girlfriend. Then the team wins and she crashes him into this giant bear hug and all he can think about is how much he wants to kiss her. And of course he confides all this in Hiccup who confides it all in Astrid who talks about it with Punz since Merida’s been confiding all her feelings for Jack in her and soon the three of them are scheming how to get them together. In the end they end up switching Jack’s jersey and Merida’s sweatshirt and she doesn’t notice wearing it to school and suddenly everyone thinks they’re dating and the guy’s on Jack’s team are like ‘dude, why didn’t you tell us?’ and he’s like 'what?’ then he sees Merida still unaware she’s wearing his jersey because obviously at school she’s a total zombie. SO he walks over and makes a joke like 'so you decided to become my girlfriend and not tell me?’ and she gets so shocked and embarrassed and can’t even talk and so he points to his jersey. Then she’s looking down and getting surprised all over again and he just says 'its ok you’re cuter in it anyways’ and suddenly Merida’s not the only one blushing and of course after that they start dating.

this episode changed me forever
You know about yesterday? It’s fine, Lucas. You don’t have to say anything.
Your AU of Hiro dieing just makes me think, okay so now what Guardian title does Hiro have? Like, he dies in the fire so summer and stuff, but he's also a genius. Guardian of Knowledge maybe?
Oooohhh my god! An AU within an AU. I love it. Yeah… maybe knowledge. Or invention or something.
Now I’m just picturing little guardian Hiro following Tadashi around trying to get him to believe in him and Jack treats him like a little brother and Toothiana is bothered by his tooth gap and grumbles about how he should’ve gotten braces.
