About
The world is full of beautiful words. The tongue has no bones but is strong enough to break a heart. Words start wars and end them, create love and choke it, bring us to laughter and joy and tears. There is no falsehood in words, only in things.
Calling all readers, lovers of poetry and music, screen and stage. If you have a google spreadsheet of Metric/Marina/Mitski/Macklemore lyrics, now's your time to shine. What does Nobel Laureate Louise Glück have in common with the Future of Kpop Lee Chan? I don't know, but we can find out.
Examples
Junhui + The Archer
"Easy they come, easy they go
I jump from the train, I ride off alone
I never grew up, it's getting so old
Help me hold onto you"
Taylor Swift - The Archer
Verhao; "I loved him from the moment he walked in"
Just thinking about all the verhao soft feelings from the last week of November, especially the killer tweet from @literarykpop with the quote:
"I laughed and said, ‘Life is easy.’ What I meant was, ‘Life is easy with you here, and when you leave, it will be hard again." - Miranda July
95 line - R18
"Houston, we have a problem."

Everything after the fallout feels like watching a life through someone else's eyes.
Jeonghan and Seokmin are sitting with their legs pressed together in the cramped backseat of a luxury vehicle like they always do, but with a new tension building a wall between them.
Seokmin's phone stays tilted away from his eyes – not that Jeonghan cares, god, who cares – with a ghost of a smile digging into the curves of his cheeks, his eyes shiny with a secret.
One that Jeonghan doesn’t get to know.
Being walled out of Seokmin’s life like this feels foreign. Like waking up from a heavy sleep to find that your fingers have gone numb.
A phantom aching for something Jeonghan didn’t realize he could ever lose. Strained friendship, permanently frayed beyond repair.
He must let out a sigh loud enough to capture Seokmin’s attention, because he hums out in acknowledgment, a wordless question. What?
That still exists, then. Non-verbal cues that only two of them understand.
It’s unfair to know him like this and recognize the things that are his, that belonged to Jeonghan long before Seokmin even became Dokyeom, before the first time they laid eyes on each other and Jeonghan felt this unfathomable need to protect. To care for. To unwittingly build a monument for. To watch the memories shatter into chunks of rubble and dirt and dust. (Jeonghan's hands are cracked and bleeding.)
To see the things that Seokmin has taken, and has sharpened to use as a weapon.
Jeonghan never dared to think he’d be target practice.
“Not you.”
He doesn’t sound convinced, but Seokmin’s gaze doesn’t leave his phone. “Hm. Okay,” he scoffs, flattening himself to the wall of the van.
When Jeonghan was a child, his coaches would give him the same advice. Get back up, dust yourself off, and try again. Toughen up, harden your heart. Keep going. Jeonghan supposes that’s what draws people to fall in love with superhero films. Every time they knock you down, you get back up. Brush yourself up, try, try, try.
Becoming an idol has taught him the same lessons – what they say about you can’t hurt you if you don’t let it. Be ready for the next punch. Keep your guard up.
That was his first mistake. Putting his arms down and leaving himself wide open for the first punch.
He didn’t expect his other half to bring a knife to a fistfight.
And now, the wound in his side throbs.
