Tyler's autism makes it hard for him to understand what to say and what the 'right answer' is. All that he loves is Music. that is, until he met Josh, the boy trapped in a girls body.

i scream, you scream, we all scream.

tyler joseph is an internet celebrity. josh dun is just another teen obsessed with him and his videos.

[ Joshler AU ] Josh is mute. Tyler is deaf. An unlikely pair, yet the best of friends. At least, that's what they would want you to think. [Written in Josh's POV]

1. Who would have thought the day Tyler tried to commit suicide a depressed boy with pink hair would also be planning to jump off the same bridge at the same time. 2. Who would have thought the day the black and blue unlovable tried to commit suicide the depressed zero calorie skeleton with pink hair would also be planning to jump off the same bridge at the same time. // "You're going to jump aren't you?" "Yes, and you don't sound like you're going to try and stop me." // Warnings - contains (attempted) suicide, self-harm references, violence, abuse, eating disorders, depression etc. Eating disorder!josh Abused!tyler // Au Very short story (I don't own Twenty One Pilots or any of the songs I referenced throughout the story)

It can't be real, nothing can. All the pain, it cannot be right. Alone in his apartment, Tyler sits with just a notepad, pens, pencils and his own thoughts. The only time he leaves is work. But he's barely able to function anymore, the constant feeling of being watched becoming too much to handle and plans on ending it all. But that's okay right? he'll just wake up if he dies. but maybe, the man with brightly coloured hair that lives across from him can change his mind, maybe this 'dreamland' isn't so bad after all... Or maybe he still needs to wake up. // "It's okay, I want this." "But I don't! I just want you to be safe!" // Warnings - suicide (attempt) etc Suicidal!tyler Saviour!josh // Au Very short parts/chapters.

It's hard to explain. Sometimes it's multiples of three. If you touch with one hand you have to touch with the other. Don't step on the cracks in the pavement. Fit things together like your life is Tetris. Measure the inches around your stomach and document them. Right foot first. Easy. Simple. Difficult. Horrible. Nightmare. Tyler doesn't know how to cope with this other than to follow his compulsions, but at least he has Josh. // "Morning Tyler, you hungry?" "No,no,no." // Warnings - self-hatred, self-harm, implied EDNOS etc. OCD!tyler Understanding!josh // This is basically just me forcing my everyday struggles onto almost-fictional characters so sorry if you think it's inaccurate. // Au

Tyler likes to describe the world using colours. // "I understand your hair colour now, it doesn't bother me anymore, because I think you're beautifully pink and make me feel purple." // Pink!josh Pink!tyler ^ not literally lmao // High school Au Sentence/paragraph per chapter

Suicide apparently saves lives... even if it's temporary... // "I'll get down if you do too, I can't get to know you if you drown." // Warnings - suicide, self-harm, depression, eating disorder, abuse etc. Abused!tyler Eating disorder!josh // AU

Recovery is a difficult journey of course, but it is not an impossible one... at least that's what everyone hopes. // "I think I'm a suicidal freak covered in scars who has trampled down his own personality until there's nothing left but mental illnesses. Sometimes, I think I'll probably kill myself one day because I seem to constantly be having thoughts about jumping off of bridges, stepping out into a busy road, cutting too deep, swallowing pills, hanging myself, etcetera." // Warnings - eating disorder, self-harm, suicide, OCD, etc Depressed!tyler OCD!josh // Au Short chapters
