lend me your strength

The System is gone. The fortress is in ruins. It’s the end of the world. But even after the apocalypse, there will be mouths to feed.

Deca-Dence's run was very short and left much up to the imagination. With this fic, I hoped to fill in some of the gaps in storytelling and worldbuilding, as well as process my own ideological struggles that peaked around the time I watched the series. After two years, it's finally done. To the one or two future people picking through the Deca-Dence tag, I hope it finds you well.

twitter is swiftly becoming inaccessible and might die soon so I'm trying to the deca dence tweets pinned in the fan discord. under the cut we go. This is nowhere near all the tweets and if you would like to preserve official tweets just link The Entire Fuckign Tweet URL when uploading a tumblr image from url, this creates a screenshot without hitting the twitter view limit.

Bonus site article: DECA DENCE | Patreon

People giving even $1 on my patreon can read this exclusive early site article, my detailed review of the creatures, world and wacky true premise of the overlooked anime, Deca Dence. ($1 patrons also see uploads of sketched creature designs and stuff, too) Deca-dence was seriously overlooked by Western anime fans when it was running, and multiple anime websites even gave it negative reviews based on their *misinterpretation* of what's going on in its world. BOOOOO!!!! Anyway, these are all from the same show:

One day I really ought to stream this whole series on my discord.

One of the best anime ever made. I’m happy to see it get more exposure.

Hello DECA-DENCE fandom.

[bebellsoterel]

So, I watched Deca-Dence yesterday/today and it was such a great ANIME ???!! If you love anime, you’ll love DecaDence….!!! (Characters are the best, Charadesign are the best, please don’t be spoiled and please, watch it immediately. If you want.)

“i liked it before it was cool” well i liked it AFTER it was cool when everyone abandoned it

[gayvampyr]

i get really into shows that aired like 5+ years ago like “have y’all heard of this”

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

fanfic writers will consume a whole ass franchise and be like "that was fun, now i will proceed to do it better"

[mcmactictac]

my favourite type of fan fictions are like. Slightly canon divergent. Like everything is the same but we fix this one annoying detail you can’t stand and let it butterfly effect the whole story.

love is best served shared

"Not everything is about your blorbos" to you maybe. To me every other song and probably that car commercial is about them

[chucktaylorupset]

I think there’s something to be said for fanfiction that loves canon in a way that’s rude. Like thank you for this wonderful thematic tragedy made out of this character’s entire arc ending in death, it was emotionally and intellectually moving, but also fuck you fuck you fuck you they live, this time and every time they live, they never died, their flaws are not their undoing, actually they have no flaws, actually they save everyone, actually who cares about a story, any story, where this one dies, actually i cared about that story so much i made a new one, actually i cared so much i unmade the old one, you gave me morals and i left them for the mortal, but they’re mine now and i will never let them die, actually thank you, actually fuck you, strongly worded letter to follow

A kiss for canon and spit in its face all at once, it’s great

[castorochiaro]

not ignoring canon nor strictly adhering to it, but a secret third thing (taking the small bits and crumbs canon barely spent time developing and running absolutely hogwild)

Deca-Dence: Late Stage Capitalism The Anime

[writterings]

i feel like all writers just need like....an oc story. and i dont mean like a story just with original characters. i mean like a piece of writing that simply makes your brain go wheeeeeeeeeee and its at the level of something your 13 year old self would write and post to deviantart. its liberating. its freeing. its comforting. my ocs are all gay and overpowered as fuck and there's really no plot to this but by god I'm having fun.
