I've also come to cherish you and this blog very much, I want to run over and talk to you when I have big realizations. Like dude 😭.

Speaking of, my god are these all real? And the last tweet?

(clickable link and i will be reblogging it right after this)

you’re on the jumbotron

(one two)

i feel more and more vindicated on how much time i chose to spend on my lavish suit analysis every time it breaks containment lol. so glad i can help other people go insane about the fact that tyler wore his groomsman suit from josh's wedding for the video. it's important to me.

[watchmefall42]

Every time I have some new realization, I immediately want to come here and share it with you😭. I was looking through some photos from 2021–2022, and honestly, I think that was the only era where fans could reasonably have more of a polycule interpretation, because the four of them genuinely seemed closer back then. It makes sense too, since that was the year Josh and Debby officially moved, so Debby and Jenna seemed to become much closer.

For Josh’s birthday in 2022, Jenna posted a bunch of stories about him that made them seem like actual friends. She even posted a photo of Josh and Tyler from a photoshoot and said that Josh was the only person who could get Tyler to smile during photoshoots. And that just highlights something I’ve always say: Tyler tends to be much more reserved, distant, and serious with pretty much everyone. Even in photos and videos with his own wife, he often comes across that way. But Josh is the one person who consistently seems able to break through that and get genuinely natural smiles out of him. But what I’m really trying to say is this: even during that period, when all four of them seemed closer because of the move and because they’d just gone through quarantine together — when we were seeing more casual friendship moments between Debby and Jenna, Tyler and Josh, and even Josh and Jenna — there was still basically no sign of any closeness between Tyler and Debby.

Even during a time when they were clearly spending more time together and actually showing it publicly (especially since it was still around the quarantine era and they probably weren’t constantly hanging out with lots of other friends), Tyler and Debby still seemed like they belonged to completely different social circles and just ignored each other’s existence.How is that even possible? If there had been even a little bit of closeness there, surely we would’ve seen more interactions. Debby would’ve posted something at some point. But instead, it always gave the impression that they barely spoke to each other. The fact that Tyler didn’t even know in 2024 that Debby had changed her last name to Josh’s says a lot . It really doesn’t seem like he puts much effort into interacting with her or keeping up with details about her relationship with Josh.

I just find it hilarious that she’s his best friend’s wife and is literally around all the time, and yet they still somehow give off the impression that they’ve spent years pretending the other person doesn’t exist. Did you see the video the band posted on YouTube from the Europe shows? In the part where Debby appears in the background with Felix, Tyler just walks right past them without even looking at her or interacting with the baby 😭

yeah, the deeper you go into everything, the more clear it becomes that debby and tyler really are Not Friends and probably don't even talk that much. like it gets crazy

MY FRIEND I NEED YOU TO SEE THIS

WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO. DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT TO DO AT ALL!!!

OHHH CLINGY BLURRY-ERA PHOTO SHOOTS AND SHOULDER KISSES,,,,, YOU ARE SO FAMOUS AND IMPORTANT TO ME,,,,

[watchmefall42]

Hi! Hope everything is alright in your corner of the world!

I'm still having midriff flashbacks from Electric Castle, how Tyler came on stage with 1 thing on his mind apparently, and that thing was Josh's midriff that he asked him to show off (and see again for himself). What's the line of reasoning in casually having your band mate's abs on your mind mid performance? As far as I recall Tyler brought it up out of nowhere, so it was just. What he was thinking of. Not that we can blame him or anything but COME ON

he's done this multiple times too lmao. i swear every time josh wears a crop top on stage tyler brings it up to point it out, as if josh isn't already shirtless on stage half the time anyway lol (though he also makes sure to draw attention to that on occasion as well. "ooh josh is shirtless" is a classic)

it's like he's obsessed with josh or smth. idk.

[watchmefall42]

ok hi im back

thinking about songs like one way in comparison to forest and its always so apparent to me how... dissatisfied tyler seemed about not only his current life but also his upbringing back in rab era. "does it bother anyone else that someone else has your name?" as if he's not exactly happy about the way he feels like he's just another drop in the sea, about how everyone feels same-ish and not even he has the grace of being unique. there's probably so many other people in the world that have the name tyler joseph, that live in a neighborhood just like his, growing up sheltered under a christian family, marching down the same path. "we're dying with every step we make, we're dying with every breath we take, and all fall in line." it's all copy and paste, predestinated. maybe he feels stuck. maybe thats why there's the idea of a forest to run off to. maybe the treehouse burning is an extension of "we stay in place cause we dont want to lose our lives," as a representation of him losing any way to escape from his admittedly average life because of his own fears. like how he boxes himself into a comphet marriage with jenna a few years after he publishes that song I MEAN WHAAAAT but i wouldnt know this is barely coherent anyhow 🌻

the themes of dissatisfaction ruin me, and in earlier stuff, that stark knowledge of where he is going to end up, and knowing what path he's going to take, despite any other desires he may have,,,,, genuinely heartbreaking

[watchmefall42]

I keep wondering what Tyler's reaction was to Josh's part in that band agreement, "If I'm gonna be famous for something, I want to be famous for loving you".

Not "being your best friend" - *loving you*. What in heterosexual, platonic hell is that phrasing? And we don't know Tyler's part in that agreement. Can't imagine he kept it all business and music after that gem. It's all wild to me. Wild.

It could obviously mean nothing, but come ON!

which COULD mean nothing

i think about that band agreement so much,,,, famous for loving you,,,, and he SUCCEEDED! as i always say. it's josh dun's world, and we're just living in it.

i feel like tyler probably added something equally insane tbh, but Man what i'd do to know the rest of it,,,

[watchmefall42]

Hey!!

I miss this blog, hope you're enjoying this hot ass summer. Just hopped on to say ummm what the hellllll???? You feeling me too??

Woahhh this festival season is just GAY. I'm also so happy that we get to see how playful and fun all of the guys are from the footage Mark shares but WOW HELLA GAY.

"only if we wanted to" line is putting the work in.

They know about us dawg... Right?

Thoughts?

IT HAS BEEN A SUPER GAY SUMMER, the joshler dial they turned up to 11 for lavish and never turned back down? is drifting towards 12.

genuinely does feel like they've further upped the ante though, forever wondering how far they can push the envelope while most people still don't ask any real questions. a decade and a half long career of broadcasting insanity and they've discovered that they can be as gay as they want in front of as many people as they want. and most people aren't gonna question it

more power to them tbh. driving me insane is a small price to pay.

[watchmefall42]

I have nothing coherent to say about the new video, they keep confirming joshler themselves since people don't listen (https://x.com/i/status/2076724228213399584). The way Josh moves to close the door lol undressing in the same room with your best friend while making jokes about dropping your pants, just straight bro things

(clickable link)

they are SO ridiculous, forever the main instigators of joshler, i stg

[watchmefall42]

Hey, are you still there? 😭 Everything okay? Lol. It’s so weird seeing you go this many days without posting.

YES HI I'M HERE AND I'M OKAY

sorry about that sudden radio silence, it was only supposed to last like. three days tops while i sorted some irl stuff, but then i started binge watching veronica mars (very good show, btw) and time. COMPLETELY got away from me, and it'd suddenly been two weeks since i'd logged into my tumblr account

everything's good, stuff got sorted, i just lost track of time. i will hopefully be back for the foreseeable future!

[watchmefall42]

sorry for my radio silence. here is my apology in the form of a sweet joshler edit. hope this makes up for it <3

So it turns out the song Tyler sang is actually one of Josh’s favorite songs, and it was one of the first CDs he ever bought because he loved that song that much. How am I supposed to not make everything about Joshler when EVERYTHING is about Joshler???😭😭

(clickable link)

I SHOULDN'T BE SURPRISED. LIKELY THING FOR TYLER TO DO.

everything is joshler. and that's not my fault.

I absolutely hate it when people push the narrative that Tyler is some poor guy with unrequited feelings for his best friend. Please. 🙄

People act like Tyler is endlessly suffering over Josh when there’s an entire lore and multiple songs that point in the exact opposite direction. That TikTok annoyed me so much because I can’t stand this idea that Tyler is the only one who feels anything. And then there were all those people getting mad because Jenna was excluded from the conversation, lol. “So Josh is the bi king but Tyler is the gay one?” Hahaha

People will never admit it, but Josh’s relationship with Debby has always looked different from the way Tyler presented his relationship with Jenna. It’s completely normal for people to perceive those relationships differently, because Tyler has often come across as more distant with Jenna.

What makes it even more noticeable is that he’s always seemed like the complete opposite with Josh. So of course people are going to notice that huge contrast. You don’t need to get offended on Jenna’s behalf because of that. If anything, you should be annoyed with Tyler for never being particularly good at coming across as a husband who’s head-over-heels in love with his wife.

man that video is going for an award in cherry picking, bc josh looks at tyler the exact same way.

and LITERALLY though. it is so so SO much harder to find images of tyler looking at jenna like that, despite how much cutesy couple stuff she used to post. that's not the fault of the people who are pointing that out.

[watchmefall42]

What were your favorite Joshler moments from these past festivals? Any predictions for future shows? Or anything you'd like or hope to see? Also I hope you're well hydrated, as well-rested as these days allow, and keep cool!

every time we touch for josh's birthday. insane choice. never over it. tyler's just declaring his love on stage without even trying to hide it. love to see it. iconic.

[watchmefall42]

I love seeing all the different angles on my feed :) Tyler's smile is everything https://x.com/i/status/2074246246601036007

oh these are AMAZING. it actually looks like tyler is about to go in for a kiss in the third one. and those smiles,,,,,

[watchmefall42]

I was scrolling through Reddit and noticed that they posted Tyler singing the cover from the latest show (Higher), but they didn’t post him singing Everytime We Touch hahaha

That subreddit is pretty anti-Joshler and has a lot of Christians, so I just find it funny and kind of interesting that they immediately ignored and pretended the whole thing never happened on the very first festival day. But this song gets posted? I think even they were confused by Tyler and decided it was safer to ignore it so nobody would start talking about Joshler, because there’s just no way to avoid that conversation when Everytime We Touch comes up.

dsaujyfgasdf fuckin lmao. they can see the optics and have decided to opt out, which as an implicit acknowledgement of how gay that shit was, is objectively funnier than actually posting it.

they earn no points over that fact but i WILL laugh about it
