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.

Re: [REMIX] it’s ticking like a clock
(Anonymous) 2026-01-24 11:43 am (UTC)(link)I was at work when this came through and read it at my desk trying to keep a professional expression as if I was reading an email IT WAS HARD because this remix is SO GOOD and my heart was yowling like a mountain lion.
This is so beautifully written, like so rooted in life, casual yet weighted, every scene a doublespeak or a slice into a much more complicated queer experience. I loved re-reading and thinking about what each part could mean, what it could point to. Like these just felt so suavely understated -- easy words yet implying something so much more powerful:
(the metaphors in this fill are stunning, so visceral and demanding and perfectly encapsulating the ugliness of an uncontrollable crush, hating yourself for loving in the way you do yet unable to control the attraction. absolutely yuri with bad vibes and I am so seated for it, yuripill dosage for yearss)
And the lore as well. I have to know, did you just have these details inside of you? The details in the narration is spinning in my head and kicking up a dust storm that might settle into a remix, there's so many things that make me think, like:
(EXCUSE ME??!! just casually implying a whole trauma arc/villainess canon event in half a paragraph? The briefest suggestion of class issues and idealising cishet performance -- the whole part about Jeonghan's damp wetsuit, the class distinction between seungcheol's and jeonghan's private vs public pools, that hammered a nail into my cerebrum because I am thinking about how it all links with their imperfect love. seungcheol and jisoo on the diving team, how seungcheol was casual yet believes that jisoo is competitive -- if this is a remix I'm absolutely digging the skewed angles of observation between the two of them. There is so much projection, like how much of themselves are they seeing in the other??)
And and, where do I start with the dialogue? The arguments are incredible because I can sense how desperate they both are for something they can't name, in a way they can't control, and for a reason inside themselves neither can understand. The half-teasing-half-accusatory schrodinger's argument about bali when it was about priorities and demanding security in love without being honest about your vulnerability. jeonghan trying to find her shoes in order to leave almost like a metaphor for her heart, wanting to leave yet locked into orbit with seungcheol, and everything else about home and having a home!! ahh!!! you are incredible. I will definitely be thinking about it and even thinking of another remix, you have unlocked so many stories within me about the 95z yuriteen bad vibes
Re: [REMIX] it’s ticking like a clock
as for jeonghan’s anime villain backstory: while reading your fill, i thought a lot about jisoo’s christian guilt/internalized homophobia and what jeonghan might represent to her beyond her connection to seungcheol, and i landed on the classic only out lesbian in a 50 mile radius becomes fair game for every ““straight”” girl’s experimentation chappell roan queer girl misery. and i could very much imagine a jeonghan who did not want this title of token queer, but who chose to own it because it was the easier option, easier and less vulnerable than, say, someone outing you and admitting that being outed was unwanted and scary. i thought of a jeonghan who slept with girls and played this specific role not necessarily because she wanted to, but because she was protecting herself by doing what people expected. she might not have money or power or influence, but she has image… she has attraction…
anyway. thank u for the loveliest comment and long live 95z yuri bad vibez
