Duck Team! They’re attempting to make a heart…success is debatable…

++ Lil bonus of Kenna watching them be the fail losers I know and love them to be <3

“First it’s joy, but then it’s worry. When he sees them he immediately notices they’re incomplete. There’s an unmistakable dread and fear that fills him once he looks at their faces. Emotional but valiant Callie has mascara running down her face from her tears, which haven’t stopped. Challenging but strong Calder can’t even look him in the eye as he takes the helmet off and shrinks into himself. Sol isnt there with them. Where is he? Then Calder tells him, because every time that Callie tried to the only thing that escape her mouth are sobs. Calder tells him what happened in a distant and cold tone, eyes dull. Albin can’t believe it. He can’t be gone. He thinks back to when it was just him and Sol, his frog pal, his best friend. And he can’t be gone. But he looks back at Calder and Callie and they don’t stop crying. And Albin is faced with the realization that Sol isn’t coming back. That he is involved with all of this, doing so much more than he thought he could, because Sol helped him and believed in him. Now Sol isn’t here.“

Small thing where I expand on the whole Sol gets alexandrited. Because. I like to make myself sad I guess and now you all have to deal with it too.

hi yall im back anyways sol posting because emily and jake said their characters would be a lot more grim had sol been alexandrited and murph attested to that saying sol is the more optimistic of them and a scenario where duck team is just missing someone fussing over them with food and knitted items has taken its place in my head and i cannot stop thinking about it. cant stop thinking about a kenna who never met sol bufo. imagine kenna, who has such a close relationship to sol that theyre calling eachother siblings now! shes his sis!!! imagine that kenna having never met him. imagine an albin who has no hype man. his best friend of years, the one person he could trust and count on to have his back and support him just gone. not to mention swag. swag who in the main campaign believed himself to be alone which is why he attached so tightly to the only thing he had. swag who found someone who is like him, who IS him. in a world without sol bufo that swag never turns a new leaf. never finds the family he misses. and of course callie and calder.

puts my head in my hands augh callie and calder without sol…

honestly i cant even begin to imagine it because ill just get too sad LMAO like nooooo i cant tear them apart ,, just the feeling of something always missing never feeling quite complete without him…oooo.

Just a thought I had while cleaning but realistically would anyone know Sol’s birthday? Like. Since he’s a clone and all. Like imagine the weird situation with that right?

Sorry my memory for the beginning of campaign three is hazy and maybe I’m being dumb but like. He wouldn’t. Know his birthday. Right? MAYBE He would consider his birthday the day he and Albin met? Maybe he celebrated alongside Albin’s birthday? Maybe he wasn’t celebrated at all?

If he and Swag got the chance to talk then would he consider Swags birthday to be his birthday as well? Maybe he hasn’t even thought about the fact he doesn’t really know or have a birthday. Maybe he only realizes once Callie and Calder start talking about their own birthdays? If something about a Sol birthday is mentioned in canon then unmm ignore this post pretend you never read it but regardless I think it’s fun to think of the duck team scenarios that spawn from that.

Yeah sorry this is a dumb joke i thought abt and tbh i just want some frog loving in this household :/ im naturally self indulgent and as such my favorite characters will get special treatment in my post sorry those are just the rules of who i am. sol bufo is my fave and i think he deserves some love :p

Posting more duck team polycule doodles because every time I listen to campaign three my love for them is reinvigorated tenfolds and i think about them for the next week.

i was just thinking about how funny itd be if in a moment of insecurity Sol worries about what Calder and Callie think of him meanwhile those two are head over heels in love. like pining and yearning so hard it makes them dizzy.

Also no I am never letting the “Make Out Every Hour” lie go ever. Im gripping that bit so hard my hand is going to go numb.

I tend to think a lot about Sol as a character - sorry guys Caldwells cartoonish bugs bunny daffy duck charms are my favorite so I knew I was going to love Sol the moment I met him - so Sol often occupies my mind.

I love ducklycule because of just how obvious it is that they care so much about each other. They aren’t complete unless all three of them are together. Sol and Calder defend Callie all the time, try to cheer her up. Calder would do anything for Callie and Sol, he sacrificed himself so that they would be safe. Sol and Callie’s immediate focus was to get Calder back. Jake and Emily mentioned in the most recent mixed bag heartside chat that if Sol got taken by Alexandrite it would have severely changed Callie and Calder’s characters because Sol was the most optimistic of them. Like I know all the naddpod pcs would do anything for eachother (besides maybe bon freres and trinyvale triplets ngl) but ducklycule holds a special place in my heart their soulmateism is off the roof.

I started this out saying I think about Sol, because I do. I think about how before anything, before Albin, Sol was just alone. And then he wasn’t- and I know its a cute thing and that he holds it with pride but he was ‘just’ a sidekick guy for a long time. I think this is where I get a lil fanon-y or headcanon-y whatever its called but I indulge myself in my silly little thoughts about this silly frog!!! This stuff might not be the most accurate to canon!!! IDC!!!

But I just think it’s neat to think about Sol not only standing on the same ground as others for the first time but being valued the way that Calder and Callie value him. Like I dunno just throwin the idea out there of perhaps maybe Sol feeling a little nervous about where he stands with the two perhaps sometimes thinking they look better together just the two of them than with Sol tagging along. Like he’s just the sidekick of two beautiful people who deserve each other and he’s just lucky to be at their side. And then Calder and Callie just immediately showing how not true that is with their actions- like how in the most recent episode they held Sol’s hand to imbue Aryox’s power. And how Callie just understood Sol’s Goonola (trademark pending) markers. And how they wouldn’t be the same without him. I know some of these were bits but Im the kinda guy that gets given an inch and takes a mile!!!!

All in all, viva ducklycule I care about them so much and especially Sol and sometimes a guys just gotta imagine up a hurt/comfort scenario in his head. Thinking abt writing abt it, who knows!!! Would love to hear yall’z ducklycule hcs gimmie plz

that one post about a polycule and the pajamas meme w/ ships but ducklycule (is that right?)

I briefly considered calliope in the extravagant robes because they are SO HER but also…i thought it would be fun to draw sol in the robes,, i feel like you could go either way with them two just pretend callie is wearing sols cartoony boxers and sol is wearing callies robes because theyre all deeply in love.

calder was very obviously going in the scrooge gown thats just his vibes rlly. anyways. i care about them. so much.

im coming out as a polycule duck team truther!!! those silly three dorks r in love !!!! (do they have a ship name?). as such, i feel as though it is finally time to share my corny self indulgent au where sol and callie r two theater nerds who try out for every show and started dating after their first one together and calder is on the stage crew and its a really corny and silly thing of “can two actors and a stage hand REALLY be in LOVE?”

simply because i think its funny for all three of them to fully be subscribed to the taboos of dating in theater. like it gets REALLY DRAMATIC. calder doesnt entirely get it but everyone else acts like its rlly important so he goes along with it.
