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."

Re: [FILL] the moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to
- This is insane I am blown away and Gobsmacked by your world building oh my goodness.. you managed to work in so many layers and themes into this short piece
- I’m somewhat familiar w Hou yi and chang’e and to have that come full circle at the end !!! (and the whole concept of just waiting for the person u love to turn into a monster and loving them despite AND because of that)
- U rly rly cut to the heart of this prompt (see above) but your language (stars and lunar metaphors and the imagery of the monsters themselves and junhui) is so striking both in its ferocity and in its beauty. The last line took my breath away!!
- Speaking of your junhui... he is Incredible.. I don’t want to quote your whole piece back to u but: “Back then, he was still radiant, somehow sun-kissed on the moon, where everyone was pale and ashen.” THE FORESHADOWING! AND THEN “Junhui’s eyes like sunbursts and his black hair now golden. He was ethereal, a miniature sun.”
- I’m feeling A Little deranged on the whole
- My favorite line (although I love all of them truly): "When is a boy no longer a boy? When he grows up. When he becomes what he swore to destroy."
Thank u SO MUCH this is beyond my wildest dreams it is truly beautiful and u are a gift
