"...Because when you remove all the curtains and rituals ... Only skeleton bones remain."

For years, Clancy's world only existed inside the strong, dull walls of Dema. It isn't until his 22nd year that he learns of the horrors committed within the city he serves and the dark secrets behind the law of Vialism. Feeling betrayed and seeking understanding, the fearful, timid servant joins a gang of rebels, known as the Banditos, to bravely seek the truth that's been hidden from him.

Yet his journey only grows more complicated, as factional lines aren't always black and white. As Clancy learns more about a mysterious traveler named Tyler, who is torn between the two worlds, he finds himself in the middle of an impending war. As tensions rise, the young ex-servant must rise above his fear and uncover the truth about his past, before the land and everyone within is destroyed.

It's the year 2050, and the country that was once known as America has closed off all of its borders and has now been named Dema. The states as vanished, but now Dema is split into nine different sanctions, or provinces, each led by its own Bishop. The leader of Dema, Nicolas Bourbaki, or Nico as everyone calls him, runs Dema with the help of the bishops. His army, the niner's are the police force that enforces the strict rules that Nico has placed in the country. It was a harsh transition, but ever since Dema has been running smoothly. Nico created a band on popular culture. This includes music, art, movies, media, and much more. He created job assignments, so there was a regulation and who does what job, so the country can be successful. If you got chosen to be a creator, you were the one who gets to create the art or media, that can be listened to by the listeners. The listeners are what once were called celebrities, the top 1%. It's quiet in Dema without music and art, but this allows for focus on the jobs and the raises the success rate of Dema. But what happens when a banned creator starts his own secret rebellious group?

It'd been six years. Six *years*. Since you'd seen each other. After they were signed, you kind of got distant. Life got in the way, you finished college... and Tyler? He was successful. You were happy for them, both of them. And then one day, you run into each other. Quite literally. And you realize how much you've missed him. And you begin to realize how deep your feelings for him truly go. And... so does he.

Lowlands by blurryvignette

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.

Leave The City - A Trench Story (tøp) by WrittenDreams14

Tyler and I have grown up in DEMA, talking through the wired fence for years, sneaking visits with eachother to talk about books, and share music that we have discovered. Now, after many months of plotting, we've finally attempted our escape. Both of us thought that once we were out of DEMA, we would be out of it for good, but little did know that along the way, we would uncover many hidden secrets about the origins of DEMA, as well as its citizens. We also didn't realize how many others had been wanting to escape as well, which caused them to work together to form a group of rebel escapees, the Banditos.

Started~ Nov 12 2021 Finished~ Dystopia: an imagined state or society in which there is great suffering or injustice, typically one that is totalitarian or post-apocalyptic. "Do you love me, Cadet?" Why? That seemed to be a question you've been asking yourself a lot lately. Growing up in the underground was tough. You needed to fight for survival, food, money, and even-your freedom. Danny, you're despicable "father", had you stealing from him any chance he got. He was slick and manipulative. Having to steal valuables for him all while taking care of two kids, Kai and Mary, was really hard. The responsibility you held was weighing down on you, making you think more about them and less about you. You didn't mind though. Anything to stay away from the sinful place you call home. After a while of putting up with Danny though, you had you're last straw ripped away when he hurt you're beloved Mary. You ran away to start a new life, taking Mary with you. You become known as "Shade", a mysterious cloaked criminal known for your stealth and strength. You took pride in your reputation, and the best part was, nobody knew anything about you. From your face down to you're gender, it was all concealed. It was all cloaked. But all this changed once they found you. They took you in, capturing you to mold you into a soldier fighting for the survey corps. You despised the survey corps at first. After all, they stole you from your home. Took you away from the people you loved. They ruined your life, right? But... did they? You're stubbornness and skill capture the attention of a certain short black haired male. Corporal Levi was humanities strongest though, he couldn't like you, could he? He couldn't... At first it seemed strange but pleasant to finally get noticed, but soon you realized, nothing good came from the Corporal. In fact, your life seemed to turn into a living Dystopia.

Southern Gothic // Joshler by hdmwrites

Something is very wrong in Tyler's hometown. The church services, the storms that overtake the town, the woods on the edge of the town's limits that people disappear in. Josh doesn't like the way that he suddenly has to follow all of the rules upon moving there, either. He especially doesn't like the fact the town has a major problem with him loving Tyler. tw in advance / blood / horror / christ + antichrist motifs and symbolism / religious torture / vomiting / mild self harm Based off of thewindwhistlesyourname 's posts on tumblr. #23 in the Joshler tag 10/15/19 #8 in the Joshler tag 10/17/19 !
