"beauty is terror"
"Would you fall in love with me again, if you knew all I've done? The things I can't undo. "
Calling all lovers of poetry and prose, rhyme and reason, screen and stage. Welcome to the Quotes Round, where every prompt must cradle a quotation (or two, or three). Mix the media and let the synergy birth a new order, or keep it short and let the subtext speak its secrets to the right writer.
🛑 HOLD UP
If this is your first time on 17hols please check out our About Page which has helpful information about dreamwidth and HTML. We are a prompting fest where all the action happens in the comment section.
Rules
- Sign up is not required.
- Fills have a minimum of 400 words for prose, haiku-length for poetry (3 lines), and 400px by 400px for art (memes are also art). Other mediums are fine too!
- There is no maximum cap.
- Tag and provide content warnings at your discretion, but a good guide are the Ao3 four (Graphic Depictions of Violence, Major Character Death, Rape/Non-Con, Underage) and this list of common CWs (cr: SportsFest).
- NSFW/Explicit content should be tagged
- NSFW art should not be visible, please provide a link and a warning. You may crop the artwork and embed a SFW preview.

- Optionally, you can embed a picture into your comment. Please use the following code instead.
(To explain, the HTML resizes your picture to 400x400px so that it fits on most screens. Users can view the full size if they click on it. You can also add a link to your work on twitter so that others can share it, or to any other website you want)
On dreamwidth, you can't edit a comment once someone has replied to it.

Re: [FILL] tapetum lucidum
I read this and think, I need to improve on my own writing LOL it's always such a pleasure to read your work because you perceive people down to their deep characteristics in a way that I can tell you live in this world with a heart that is watching and feeling. and also, gen fic is truly where the tenderest flesh resides because this brings out a side of jun and a side of seungkwan romantic love could never LOL
- I love how you wrote jun's speech, the opening scene made my hands sweat because I could fill his nerves, and I love how you cut him off before you started and fed through the rest via Seungkwan's phone as he replays it. It feels like you took us out of Jun's mind so that we can love his speech as Seungkwan, full of pride
- the echo of a reliance that they haven’t relied on in years. Minghao just stares back, amused and unhelpful. this casual line implying the whole arc of jun8 relationship development!! this one tripped me
- the conversation about who everyone's favourite member is (lol seungcheol we know how hard you simp) - I'll pick your brain tomorrow for the rest.
- I see the reference to soonhan married era and mingyu's protein farts. I see you!!
- these casual characterisation gems that pierce through svt like glass: It was funny how all Seungkwan had to do to turn Chan into his fiercest defender was leave the room + He was never the second-last person to leave a room. (so that no one is every alone, urgh ww)
- the absolute metaphor of the cat wanting to be loved yet won't come towards people!!
- and the entire last scene... my coherency at 2am only extends to: I'v always noticed how, despite Junhui being one of the hyungs, he is babied by the the rest of svt. They feel immense pride and joy at the little things he does, he makes them all ijbol-girlies, his aegyo makes them explode to the floor, and every "I love you" is treasured. thank you for capturing that phenomenon into a story because I think it's a precious dynamic. Perhaps svt understands how difficult it is for junhui to express himself, to hold himself open to love, and so every action is treasured (much like reluctant cats LOL). seungkwan is a perfect partner in this fic because of how steadfast he is in his feelings. it's a foil to jun and to his worldview, and operates to elevate both their charms. thank you for writing this <3
