Tyler himself is struggling with family issues. He is also struggling with himself. He feels suffocated and like he can't escape. He needs to breathe. Josh is the air he needs:

Josh was the new kid and he was making a big impression. He's loud, he's a total punk, he gets in trouble and doesn't give a fuck what people think (of course))). Tyler is the cute pastel-y kid in school who wears cute clothing and sometimes heels. He's friends with all the popular girls and practically everyone else in school. He and Josh are polar opposites. And they're roommates at boarding school, now. Everyone's curious about how this is going to work. Tyler hopes he doesn't fuck up in trying to make friends. He liked Josh. And Josh likes him. But Josh has a reputation to keep. But that can be put on hold if Tyler can make him feel something again. Good or bad feeling, Josh is desperate and doesn't care anymore.

You're a Bandito. Tyler is in Dema. Escape is imminent. <><><><><><> •i created this world to feel some control destroy it if i want• <><><><><><> < written by chalupa, edited by jay >

Tyler was sad. He was hurt, confused, angry, and scared, too, but most of all, he was sad. He didn't know if it was because he had been stuck in the same town for his entire life or it it was something a bit more serious, but that little uncertainty didn't stop him from applying to colleges all throughout the country and going to the one the furthest away from where he grew up. It wasn't the best choice he had made in his life, but suddenly there's this kid that shows up who dyes his hair a different color almost every month, and maybe, just maybe, he's the cure to Tyler's, well, whatever it is. This story is for all of you who don't know how strong and amazing you are, and for those of you who do. You have the power to do anything you can imagine. Use that power well.

Tyler and Josh are thrown into the depths of hardships and impossible feats when they discover the dark secrets of DEMA, eerie letters, the sacrifices that must be made, and the "blood-thirsty lions" everybody has been whispering about for so long. *completed 12-26-18*

The walls of Dema are high, and its gates are sealed. For those trapped within, there is no way out-no voice but the Bishops', no future but their design. Clancy once believed that too, until a cryptic letter led him to a group of rebels known only as the Banditos, hidden deep in the Lowlands. Now, with the enigmatic Torchbearer by his side, Clancy must escape the city that has stolen so much from him. But the path to freedom is treacherous, and danger lurks in the shadows. Not every Bandito can be trusted. Not every escape leads to safety. And some secrets were never meant to be shared.

It's been too long since Jake and Tyler had seen each other and now when they finally come together, their lives have completely changed. Reader discretion is advised.

Some people have a hard time letting go of high school grudges, and Tyler Joseph is guilty of that. And when Tyler finds out that the kid who used to bully him in high school, Josh Dun, has suffered from an accident, you're damn right he's gonna use it to his advantage.

Tyler is alone in the city of Dema. He can't remember who he was before then. All he knows now is trying to survive in this world. He sees others around him who are struggling too, and he wants to help them. But he can't. He can't even seem to help himself. He keeps thinking he sees his best fren, Josh, but he's still not sure if its really him or if the city has finally driven him insane. His life now is nothing but fear. And there doesn't seem to be a way to fix that. Maybe there is...but maybe there isn't. The thing is, he's too afraid to find out. Fear is how they control you. The bishops. They see everything you do. And they want to destroy you. So don't bother fighting. They'll come for you. They'll come for you when you least expect it. Possible trigger warning: self-harm/suicide. This story is about overcoming that and overcoming depression. But it might be triggering to some readers. I'll add trigger warnings to those parts.
