***HIATUS***
Carnation has lived in Dema her whole life. Despite that, it has never quite felt like home to her. She feels smothered, unable to breathe within the restrictive walls. Unlike the others, content to live in this Glorious City, she has always longed to see what is outside and to be free from Dema's confines. At the same time, she grapples with a terrifying power she never wanted and learns of a secret group on the outside she thought only existed in stories.
****TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF SUICIDE AND POSSIBLE SELF HARM, EMOTIONAL ABUSE****

Based on info from this site (http://dmaorg.info/found/15398642_14/clancy.html), interviews and the Jumpsuit, NATN and Levitate music videos and the interactive Bandito experience imaband.ito
I did not create Dema. it was created by Tyler Joseph and Josh Dun.

I have related to Tyler's worlds of Dema and Trench a lot. So many of us see our struggles within this vague, grey city. I saw myself in Dema so much I began to create a character of myself living there to help me process my mental stuff. This is her story. My hope is that maybe, just maybe, you will see yourself in Carnation and that this inspires you in some way.

Life: A journey towards self love or....... self hatred by Apulu14
54 parts Complete
Poems are a great help to depression. My cover is not be very appealing and my title seems boring. Poems are also not liked by people very much and is considered boring. I may not get many views. But in the end "Don't judge a book by it's cover" only wins. So I have bought you some sad poems, food related ones, poems related to the things I love, Love yourself, Romantic and many more. These are written by me and please don't post it anywhere without my permission. To explain you why I have added a pink heart with black background, it is because the poems tell a story of girl(me) to whom people think she is very cold, straight forward, rude and all those things but... in reality she is too soft for this harsh world. The pink heart represents the softness she is hiding inside using her black side so no one would misuse her. The angel in her still haven't faded after getting betrayed, lost, depressed, fake people, bully and many more. She doesn't wants to go through this again. The pink background in the upper half tell that she still have hopes in her life. I want the readers to know the deep meaning behind the Title themselves and I won't reveal it until the end of the book. Keep your guesses up and think what possibly could be the meaning of this unusual title. Thank you and enjoy the journey of this little girl warning: if you are expecting this to be a story then sorry it isn't a story but a collection of poems written by the "little girl" depending on her mood that time. It is more like a Journey. You could skip it if you want to. Or learn about the little girl I'm representing/my life. Credits- I don't own the pictures used here however some are mine most are from other websites and I give their credits to them.

"You know, to think about all I just said. I'll reiterate some stuff. In the beginning, I wanted help. But there was none. There were glares on me that made me feel disgusted. There was a sudden interest that wasn't there before. There was my- or should I say our rebirth. There is the epiphany. No one can get this thing to leave. Especially since it's a love-hate thing. I hate that it happened, but I love some of what it enables me to do. I really can't live without it. So save me your prayers." I put my bag by my bedside and grabbed my phone. "I'm going for a walk, you should too, love." y'all can skim over chapters 1 and 2 if you like. They're just intro-type chapters and foreshadowing the main reason she becomes the way she does. Chapter 3 recaps her previously bullied in chapt 2. you can skip that too. mentions cannibalism Supernatural, smut, demonic, possessed, Zendaya. That's allll you need to know. (Cause I'm gonna take a while to come up with a better description. It includes smut/s*x at indicated points in time, OFFICIALLY starting from chapter 28. It's short smut though. Still, y'all have been warned lol. Book 2 is Dark and light.

Alive | ør | Asleep, Book Two of: We're Human. COMPLETED Disclaimer: it mentions depression, self-conscious of one's body weight, birth, and sexual harassment. If you're triggered by either of those I suggest you don't read. However, I will be putting warnings at the beginning of each chapter to maybe save you from having any potential problems with the book. We're Human Book One: "We're human. We aren't gods. We have needs and desires and temptations. Some people's temptations are stronger than others. Temptations and desires don't make us bad, they make us human." 'We're Human' was a book that captured the feelings of temptations and feelings of desire. This book adds on to that, and a little bit more. Do you ever have reoccurring dreams? How about every time you close your eyelids, you continue your dream? Alive | ør | Asleep Book Two: "I've been having this repetitive dream." He swallowed, "like, every time I close my eyes I... I continue the story of this place." Jenna hummed, her cheek pressed against his tattooed chest. "That sounds fun." She mumbled sluggishly. She was almost asleep. "Mm-What place is it?" Tyler rubbed his hand across Jenna's back. It soothed her, making it even more difficult to keep conscious. "It's called dema." She hummed, although it was so quiet it was almost inaudible. "It's my own little hell." • • This book, once finished, will consist 53 chapters total. • • If you would like to check out my other books, Completed books: We'll Pee When We Get To Europe (• Twenty One Pilots Fan Fiction •) We're Human. • Jyler • (First Book.

Exile: The Book of Ever by JamesCormier
30 parts Complete
Centuries after the Fall, the United States has been wiped away. The crumbling remains of the great American empire are home now only to savage, lawless tribes and packs of ravening Damned-the twisted children of the apocalypse. Most of those few who survived humanity's destruction spend their short lives in a violent struggle for survival. But some light still flickers in the darkness: the Blessed of Bountiful live in seclusion, relying on walls both physical and spiritual to protect them from the Desolation that their world has become. Among them are the Saints, those few men and women born with superhuman abilities that the Blessed see as gifts from God. The violent apostate tribes of the Northeast Kingdom have always been a danger, but up until recently its small size and the vigilance of its people have made Bountiful an unappealing target. As attacks on the community grow harsher and more frequent, however, even the steadfast Blessed are forced to start preparing for the worst. With her home's very existence threatened, seventeen year old Ever Oaks, a Saint with the power to heal, is forced to make a difficult choice, one that may come to define her people's future... Exile was a semi-finalist in Mark Lawrence's Great Self-Published Fantasy Blog-Off (#SPFBO). Fantasy Faction said it was "extremely cool," and Bookish Lifestyle called it "more than just a story, a journey and an experience." When I'm asked about it, I often describe it as "X-Men meets The Walking Dead." In addition to reading it here for free, you can buy Exile in e-book or paperback on Amazon.com.

"There will be Three, kin of your kin, who hold the power to reshape the world and defy the shadows." Only Skeletons Remain follows the intertwined stories of three generations bound by the oppressive grip of DEMA, a city of neon lights and despair. Miguel, a Bandito rebel and former Lorekeeper, struggles to free his family from the tyrannical rule of the DEMA High Council. After escaping and discovering his father's grave in the Neon Graveyard, he becomes embroiled in a war for survival, ultimately forced to lead the Banditos after the death of their leader. Haunted by his transformation into a bishop, Miguel's journey is one of sacrifice, rebellion, and self-redemption as he battles to dismantle DEMA's control over their world. Years later, Javier took on the role of Lorekeeper, tasked with preserving the history of those lost to DEMA's cruelty. His path leads him into the secrets of the council and the power of forbidden knowledge, putting him at odds with the rulers of the city. His quiet defiance and cunning stewardship of the Lorekeeper's archives laid the foundation for the Banditos' future uprising. Years later, Harper, Javier's daughter, embarks on her own journey to break free from DEMA's brainwashing, leading her siblings and allies in a fight for freedom. Corrupted and manipulated by the High Council, she must face the darkness within and around her as she unravels the mysteries of her family's past and takes up the torch to destroy DEMA once and for all. DISCLAIMER: this is purely fictional, and I made this just for fun! All of it is made up! :) Rights to the DEMA universe belong to Twenty One Pilots.
