Still workin on my next art post, so while we wait, how about I share some freaky fab facts about our fave boys! This is:

10 Fun Facts about Jackson Jekyll/Holt Hyde. All of these are canon and sources will be named!

Starting off with some rapid fire facts about the boys from the Monster High series by Lisi Harrison.

1: In the Monster High series by Lisi Harrison, Holt is instead called “DJ Hyde”.  Rather than DJ standing for “disk jockey”, as it usually does, he confirms that it stands for Dr. Jekyll. In addition, at first DJ Hyde is indistinguishable from Jackson visually, but partway through the second novel, DJ gets minor changes to his physical appearance- most notably, lighter hair and an eye colour change from hazel to blue.

2: In the Lisi Harrison series, Jackson canonically has anxiety and autism, believing that his blackouts are a cause of the former before figuring out about DJ.

3: The cause for the switch from Jackson to Holt has changed over the course of the series. In the Lisi Harrison novels, the cause is overheating. In Jackson’s diary, he discloses that the cause used to be sunrise/sunset- during the day, it’d be Jackson, and at night, it’d be Holt. Sometime around the age of 16, the switch changed to music with a 4/4 time signature played at 90 decibels or louder. The cause for the switch is expected to change one more time before he reaches adulthood.

4: Speaking of Jackson's diary, it's implied that Manny Taur was waiting for an opportunity to beat him up after Jackson stood up to him, but Holt said something to Manny that changed his mind. What exactly Holt said is unknown.

5: Jackson and Draculaura are next door neighbors. On at least one occasion, Jackson has joked about killing Dracula.

6: Jackson is a member of the Monster High Music Society.

7: Holt plays Skulltimate Roller Maze as an extracurricular and is on the MH team following the events of Friday Night Frights.

8: Holt is known to frequent a secluded spot near Epic Falls when working on his music. He sometimes stays there for days at a time.

9: Operetta and Holt once went on a date to a concert, but it was cut short when Holt started a fight with a gargoyle that bumped into Operetta, which subsequently got them kicked out.

10: Holt is one of only three characters in the Monster High Collection book to not have exact names listed for his best friends (BFF/GFF). The other two are Clawd and Clawdia Wolf.

And that's all! Hope you enjoyed!

Heath: Earth to Deuce? Hello! Dude!

Deuce: S- Sorry. What were you saying?

Heath: About if you wanted to come over tonight to play the new Call of Slash.

Deuce: I’ll have to ask my mom first, but sure.

Gil: You were staring at Clawdeen again, weren’t you?

Deuce, embarrassed: N- No! You think she saw?

Heath: Dude, when are you gonna get over your crush on her?

Deuce: This isn’t just a crush, Heath. I’ve been in love with her since middle school. What does she see in him?

Clawd: What does who see in who?

Gil: What your sister sees in whatshisface.

Clawd, to Deuce: You were staring at her again, weren’t you?

Heath: Yes, he was.

Deuce: Heath!

Clawd, laughs: I hate to break it to you, dude, but she’s never gonna break up with Romulus. Maybe Rochelle will be your ghoulfriend.

Deuce: Ugh, stake me now. I mean, I’m the captain of the swim team and SKRM, he’s popular, and he has my dream woman.
