Orangu-chan, or Orangu-tan, is the embodiment of a placeholder video used during the preparation for [[JADSEYA|JADSEYA 2025]]. She was drawn almost simultaneously by {{Person|Maddison Baek}}, {{Person|Epheoko}}, and {{Person|Mr. Sunrise}}.
 
During the preparation for JADSEYA 2025, {{Person|HypotheticalWalrus}} and {{Person|Man of Answers}} worked to prepare short videos of acceptance speeches, category introductions, and more. Because the video for "Best Pin" had not yet been prepared, Walrus instead sent Joe a placeholder video of an orangutan attempting to mimic humans using a hammer and nails<ref>{{YTCite|IFACrIx5SZ0|channel=BBC Earth|title=Attenborough: Amazing DIY Orangutans {{!}} BBC Earth}}</ref>. The JADSEYA 2025 team found this unexpected placeholder hillarious. Approximately 20 minutes later, Maddison Baek sent the first Orangu-chan fanart privately to the JADSEYA organizers.
 
Just over an hour later, Epheoko sent a more humanoid design for Orangu-chan to the organizers. Mr. Sunrise, who had stepped away when orangutan video was shown, nevertheless created another Orangu-chan fanart just 4 hours after Epheoko's. The orangutan became a meme among the organizers of JADSEYA, and Marik Bentusi created a short video to give context to non-organizers<ref>{{JoeYT2Cite|3Gr6hAASqz4|title=Our Community's End of Year Awards - JADSEYA 2025!|time=19180}}</ref>.
 
During JADSEYA 2025, Joe played the orangutan video instead of the introduction for the "Best Antagonist" Nominees<ref>{{JoeYT2Cite|3Gr6hAASqz4|title=Our Community's End of Year Awards - JADSEYA 2025!|time=4217}}</ref>. While he claimed this was accidental, he had previously joked with other organizers about playing the orangutan clip and pretending it was the wrong video.


Orangu-chan, or Orangu-tan, is the embodiment of a placeholder video used during the preparation for [[JADSEYA|JADSEYA 2025]]. She was drawn almost simultaneously by {{Person|Maddison Baek}}, {{Person|Epheoko}}, and {{Person|Mr. Sunrise}}.
During the credits of JADSEYA 2025, several Orangu-chans drawn by Maddison Baek decorated the credits. After the event had formally ended, Joe played Marik's short video to give context for the orangutan, and to let the audience in on the joke. While these were the first on-stream appearances of Orangu-chan, none of the art showcased in the credits, the video, or even the video itself was ever put into [[Janart]]. Orangu-chan's first debut as fanart was on January 16, with art by {{Person|Simmsy}}<ref>{{YTCite|uDsK95uMhJ8|channel=Falco|title=<nowiki>Joseph Anderson Pathologic stream 10 with chat [01/16/2026]</nowiki>|time=5849|channel_icon=Falco.jpg}}</ref>.
 
Several drawings of Orangu-chan are hidden in the results screens of [https://jadseya.com/2025/results/ JADSEYA 2025].


During the preparation for JADSEYA 2025, {{Person|HypotheticalWalrus}} and {{Person|Man of Answers}} worked to prepare short videos of acceptance speeches, category introductions, and more. When one of these videos was not available during a practice run of the entire event, Walrus instead sent Joe a video of an orangutan attempting to mimic humans using a hammer and nails<ref>{{YTCite|IFACrIx5SZ0|channel=BBC Earth|title=Attenborough: Amazing DIY Orangutans {{!}} BBC Earth}}</ref>. The JADSEYA 2025 team found this unexpected placeholder hillarious. Approximately 20 minutes later, Maddison Baek sent the first Orangu-chan fanart privately to the JADSEYA organizers.

Just over an hour later, Epheoko sent a more humanoid design for Orangu-chan to the organizers. Mr. Sunrise, who was not present during the practice run where the original video was shown, nevertheless created another Orangu-chan fanart just 4 hours after Epheoko's. The orangutan became a meme among the organizers of JADSEYA, and Marik Bentusi created a short video to give context to non-organizers.
