yan TJ (what im calling him now for probably obvious reasons) is an art major but outside of classes hes only interested in drawing indulgent things and hes pretty annoyed when he has to draw realism (though like regular TJ he does enjoy doing backgrounds, but for yan TJ its definitely a lot less so)

this takes place in a no doodles au so while he is still mainly friends with doodle gang, and TJs still the reason theyre all still friends- their relationship never quite went through nearly the same amount of growth, so TJ never quite saw a reason to open up himself, so no one actually knows him past the more outgoing persona he puts on. hes probably way more caged up in that way compared to regular TJ because hes far too insecure and ashamed of himself to let others know what hes really like and often calls himself pathetic and useless (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

the rest of doodle gang also wont be relevant at all in this au. well since theyre his friends theyre obviously important but they dont affect anything and i wont really be talking about them unless i get some ideas but TJ is still the focus

despite me calling him a yandere hes definitely not a very conventional one. hes specifically based off of this funny idea i had of a yan who never actually kills or kidnaps people because hes too much of a law abiding citizen and never stalks or isolates his love interest because he respects them far too much to do that. so all of the messed up stuff stays in his head as like intrusive thoughts no matter how much he may want to realize them. at most he might threaten people who hangs out with his love interest and use his friendly reputation to build trust with everyone at campus

due to feeling like he has no life purpose he always feels a sort of emptiness that makes him depressed and his interests in drawing and manga and anime and games are the only way he copes with that until he meets his dream person, which naturally makes him dependent on them. when that happens he'll gladly cut off everyone else in his life if it means getting their approval and having their eyes only on him (...though thats if he ever even has the courage to approach them). bad situation on both sides lol
