Calling all readers, lovers of poetry and music, screen and stage. Quote collecters and lyric hoarders, unleash your archive. For this round, every prompt must contain a quote - you can combine them, add commentary, link to articles, do whatever. Steal from a literary classic, or copy WeVerse drama.

Prompt:
The truth, of course, is that if people really were as happy as they look on the Internet, they wouldn’t spend so much damn time on the Internet, because no one who’s having a really good day spends half of it taking pictures of themselves. Anyone can nurture a myth about their life if they have enough manure, so if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, that’s probably because it’s full of shit.

– Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

&

All I did was try my best
This the kind of thanks I get?
Unrelentlessly upset
They say these are the golden years
But I wish I could disappear
Ego crush is so severe
God, it's brutal out here

Do Not Wants: Death, post group dissolution or the dissolution of said group

Prompt:
When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain,
Before high-pilèd books, in charactery,
Hold like rich garners the full ripened grain;
When I behold, upon the night’s starred face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour,
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love—then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till love and fame to nothingness do sink.

- John Keats

Additional Tags: shared craving for freedom, shared sense of connection with the natural world; tbh i just like how these quotes mirror each other and i'm curious if anyone can make something out of it
Do Not Wants: None

Prompt:
I started as a trainee at the age of 16 and I’ve been active as an idol till now, so I have a craving for freedom. During my debut and now, the reason why I like whales is because of the image of whales freely wandering around the wide sea. I often dream of taking a chance in a mysterious place where the overwhelming nature touches me. [...] I guess it’s because I’m a person with a lot of curiosity.

Q: If you were to be born again?
A: (I’d want to be) air. Without any restrictions, I’d like to live freely.

Major Tags: N/A
Additional Tags: Sports; Idolverse as sports?
Do Not Wants: None

Prompt:
ME AS AN NHL REPORTER IN A POST-GAME PRESS INTERVIEW: so do you agree that feeling the most secure touching each other while wearing literal armour is a metaphor for the human condition? your vulnerability in these goal celebrations is offset by the fact that you aren’t actually physically touching each other; you literally can’t touch each other, and this is the only time you try. does that fact ever make you reflect on your relationships with your teammates? would you so gleefully have held him if he’d achieved a victory in his personal life, off the ice? in his home? the padding protects you in more ways than one, does it not? isn’t this the nature of human connection, played out on television screens like a soap opera? don’t you think we all watch because we want to hold our friends after their successes and console them after our losses but feel blocked by their armour? by our own?

THE NHL PLAYER WHO JUST PHYSICALLY EXERTED HIMSELF FOR A FULL HOUR WHO’S STILL OUT OF BREATH AND SWEATING AND ONLY PICKED UP 1/5TH OF WHAT I JUST SAID: uhhhh, wh— well, it’s a team effort out there, we, uhh, give it 110%—

Do Not Wants: None

Prompt:
Praise the miracle of glass that allowed me to touch you
before I ever touched you, telegraphed your palm’s heat
& its nearness to dawn, assured me the heave of your chest

chases a precious pulse that holds back death & its chariot.
Praise the spell for the woman drenched with moonbeam
laughing in the back seat of my father’s red automobile,

the slope of your neck as you shriek birds into the cool dawn.
Praise the marvel of a love I have yet to bury.
Praise the miracle of your dark hair. Your fingers tightening

around the leather armrest as we tunnel through bright & wind.
Your eyes catching in the glass like headlights. The safety label
swearing subjects in the mirror are closer than they seem.

yourself.
