Tyler has a band at church. There's a new family in town-the Dun's. Self-titled album mentioned! +18

"You make me so fucking livid! I hate you! You walk up to me with your ugly piercings and greasy hair and nasty clothes... do you even care about your reputation?" "Just shut up and kiss me. You're less annoying when you're not talking." Tyler Joseph's only goal in high school was to become student body president. After all, his only goal in life was to become President of the United States and the first step to getting there was being elected student body president of his puny public high school that he didn't even want to be at. Everything after that would be a breeze. His next five years were planned out and everything would go according to those plans as long as nobody fucked it up for him. Josh Dun was only in high school to graduate, but that didn't mean he wasn't going to try and have fun while he was there. From skateboarding in the halls to vandalizing teacher bathrooms to receiving (and giving) head in the various janitor's closets. And the one thing he thought was the most fun? Getting on star student Tyler Joseph's nerves... ©nicosniners

Emerson Augustine is an aimless university student who followed her best friend to Ohio State. She is unsure of her major, her relationship, and her future. But mostly if her life is worth anything at all, including the hope you have to have to make things better. Tyler Joseph is a small musician, working on a new album and trying to make music into a career, since he dropped out of college. Though his band is gaining some local popularity, he's still working through the local music circuits and trying to carve out a path for him and his band. When his friend Emerson shows up on his doorstep, injured and terrified, he does what he knows he has to do, help. The friendship the two hold gets tested but also deepens in ways the two could never image as the pitfalls of friendship, love, and one's past collide, changing everything for the two anxious kids and their friends.

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?

"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."

"nothing's ever really quiet, you were just too stubborn to pretend. it's part of me. wouldn't you believe it's nothing?" (keep the rain by searows) - tyler is stressed out, for lack of better wording. josh is... well, josh is getting married. tyler just wishes it was to himself. takes place mostly during the trench era/bandito tour. #1 in joshler - 2/6/25

"Our love was too short, his life was too short.."

josh is into sad boys and coffee, and one day, he finds both. (lowercase intended)

Tyler was diagnosed with leukemia but he wasn't receiving chemotherapy. His parents didn't "believe in medicine" or any medical attention for that matter. They thought overcoming a sickness naturally was the right way to go. None of the Joseph kids ever got medicine for their colds or fevers. Josh was the boy he met at the skatepark.
