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
- the monster motif!!!!! the stars and the heavens!!!!!!!! (as well as the themes of humanity, loneliness, knowing someone in a past life n yet facing the fact that the person u once knew isn't preserved in time I AM CLENCHING MY FIST AT U!!!!)
- ur writing is insane
- INSANE
- i feel unhinged
- think the amount of worldbuilding that you manage to do in a short amount of time is really amazing!!!! u do Just Enough while not diverging our attentions to the details and tell us to focus on the 8jun of it all...
- what hurts the most i think is jun's boyishness and the naïveté that comes with heroes who think themselves Different From All the Rest. and reading between the lines and feeling xmh's anguish.... me being unable to peel my eyes away from the incoming trainwreck....
- what i know of chang'e and houyi comes from over the moon but i think this is a wonderful rendition (also the sci-fi, when "lunar colonies" was mentioned i immediately thought of the lunar chronicles by marissa meyer and was extremely esctatic)
- it hurt to look directly at him. mmmm i love my sun metaphors B^) i'm burnin up (4 u baby)
this is my favorite part ever, and i'm looking at ki's comment and i'm laughing because it's the same, but it is because it's magnificently written:
The boy shrugged. “They’re monsters. When have monsters ever made sense?” Back then, he was still radiant, somehow sun-kissed on the moon, where everyone was pale and ashen.
When is a boy no longer a boy? When he grows up. When he becomes what he swore to destroy.
i think there is something terribly ominous and ethereal about this. about everything, really. thank u thank u thank u
