(I apologize if the layout doesn't always look the same, I copy it from my docs and sometimes it doesn't paste the same) After being discharged from a mental institution for reasons no one in town fully understands, Tyler Joseph returns to a world that feels colder, smaller, and wired against him. Rumors follow him like shadows-twisted, violent stories whispered behind closed doors. Everyone stares. No one asks. His mind, loud with ADHD and unprocessed rage, simmers under a fragile surface. Josh Dun comes from a weathy family with a perfect image to uphold. He is planning the ultimate party-an act of rebellion against his pristine family and everything he's expected to be. He has no idea Tyler exists, but when their worlds collide in a night soaked in chaos, blood, and broken glass, something unhinged ignites between them. Tyler doesn't want to be the monster they all believe he is. But when the noise becomes too much and the crowd turns against him, he breaks-and Josh finds himself captivated, not repulsed, by the destruction he witnesses.

josh is secretly fattening up tyler because he is scared that tyler is going to leave him, so he wants to make tyler so fat no one else would want him

Why Tyler even went along with this in the first place, he still didn't know. And why his sister had thought that Tyler going on to a national TV show to go on a 24-hour date with a stranger was a good idea, he also still didn't know. The regrets were there, and the nerves even more. This had been a bad idea, but he couldn't back out now. He just had to go in there and survive those first 24 hours. He wasn't forced to stay there for the whole five full days. He just needed to get through 24 hours. Then he could go back home to the safety of his own bed and dream about some day finding that one person for him. 'Cause he sure as heck knew he wasn't gonna find the one on a TV show... ...was he?

When Tyler meets the CEO of his new job, it's definitely not in the way he imagined. It's even better.

"Why didn't you tell me?" "It would be kind of a turn off if I mentioned I had to put my 7 year old twins to bed before I could come over."

as we passed the pool in the center of the motel, i studied how the raindrops made tiny splashes as they hit the turquoise water of the pool. i wondered what that looked like from under the water. what it would look like if i were actually drowning.
