#jay and nikki are super super close both as a result of their parents not tolerating fighting between them and due to their small age gap.

10 fun(-ish) side things about the tddup gang!

Jay and Nikki's parents started out by fake dating and then getting married for non-romantic reasons. Said relationship started as what their mother deemed a "prank".

Jay has a scar on the left side of his jaw, but it has nothing to do with the family business.

Neither Kori nor Jay has a favorite food. When asked, they usually reply with whatever they ate last, in the event they enjoyed it.

Naomi became a published author at age 24, but struggled to "replicate the magic" of her first published novel for a while afterwards. She's highly self-critical in that aspect.

Most, if not all, TDDUP characters have siblings. In fact, they come from families with 2 - 4 kids. The character who has the most siblings canonically is Kori's mother, Camille, with 8, though four are half-siblings through her mother.

Jay *hates* his legal name, but claims he can never change it because of the "sentimental value".

Mario and Jay actually lived together for awhile when they dated, but eventually had to live separately again for both of their sanity.

Jay's first ever partner was actually his childhood best friend, a girl named Felicity. They broke up on amicable terms, but remained friends, and she was invited to his + Kori's wedding.

Twice before Jay, Kori had nearly been married twice, once immediately her senior year of high school, and a second time during college. She claims she has bad luck when it comes to serious relationships.

Both Jay and Nikki were involved in theatre as kids, and often appeared in productions together. When asked who they think the better actor was/is, they never agree, claiming the other is better. (they're besties, okay?)
