Round 1: Quotes


About

"If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more."

"What is grief, if not love persevering?"

"You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath"

Calling all readers, lovers of poetry and music, screen and stage. Quote collecters and lyric hoarders, unleash your archive. Each prompt must contain a quote - you can combine them, add commentary, link to articles, and more. Steal from a literary classic, or WeVerse drama. Have fun!


Examples


Minghao + Ocean Vuong
The most beautiful part of your body
is where it's headed. & remember,
loneliness is still time spent
with the world.

Ocean Vuong - night sky with exit wounds

Hoshi/Anyone; "Beauty is terror"
Thinking about these two quotes together and the idea of on/off-stage personas:

"Beauty is terror. Whatever we call beautiful we tremble before it. And what could be more terrifying or beautiful, to the Greeks to to our own, than to lose control completely?" - Donna Tartt, the Secret Histories

"I am calm in everyday life but when I put on my in-ear device and step on stage, I can feel the tension and hear the cheers getting louder as the music gets louder. When the staff tells me it's time to step on stage, I feel something boil inside me. I feel it steaming inside and I think I have to give a burst of something, spill what is inside me." - Hoshi in Hit the Road Ep. 04


Any ship; "It's been so many years"
Hello, hello there, is this Martha?
This is old Tom Frost
And I am calling long distance
Don't worry 'bout the cost.
'Cause it's been forty years or more
Now Martha please recall
Meet me out for coffee
Where we'll talk about it all.

Tom Watts - Martha

oh my god. ok i need to go through this.
- the REPRESSIONISMS of wonwoo..... oh dear. oh boy. someone should tell him it's all ok. and the contrast with soonyoung who just doesn't worry about all that!!! who confesses just to say it rather than to get a reply!! man. that's soonwoo alright
- as a 97z fan i am ALWAYS thinking about that interview, so the way you chose to write about that was just !!! to me. i loved it. i think it was so Them as well, like the way the room fell silent when jeonghan said it's good to be sincere was so fun, and then of course soonyoung who just isn't afraid!! perfect.
- and the FINAL BIT about soonyoung falling... the IMPLICATIONS of that. absolutely perfect. you've packed So much in here i really love it!!!

hwa… oh gosh this is absolutely so gorgeous and ur a little insane to me (ur mind, i love it, and all the pretty words gathered inside). i think soonwoo was the perfect vessel for this piece, the way that soonyoung serves as this striking counterpart to wonwoo, someone who is shining and so ever bright and a little bit out of reach in wonwoo’s mind, because he seems to be everything that wonwoo cannot be.
this was so wonderful and felt so carefully fleshed out in so little words!!!! ur prose n all the little canonical details <333 ugh so good

here are some tidbits i liked:
- “Bugs was a perfect answer Seokmin. A lot of people are afraid of bugs. Especially bugs with a lot of legs.” Jeonghan replies, one hand already offering a placating pat, “Mingyu’s being weird again.”

“No. I also should have said something profound and deep. Now I seem like an idiot.” Seokmin slaps his own cheeks, “The transience of life. The inevitability of my own mortality. Being forgotten by my own mother.”
i chuckled… oh seokmin!!!!! you are valid!!!!!!! i love that interview so much sometimes svt are just some dudes - He could imagine it, Soonyoung running up the stairs to the school roof, confession bursting out like a ripe plum, before turning back and running back down, possibilities left behind him. this whole scene tbh!!!!! it was just so joyously soonyoung, how he puts his entire being into things & thinks later, while wonwoo is too heavily focused on cause/effects and stuck in his head to be doing anything (i particularly liked the line about how jww would only confess if he could be sure, so that he’d know his place in the world. it was a wonderful way to put it)
- just the image of soonyoung being ^^ and wonwoo being like, aren’t you scared & soonyoung (in return) not making fun of him for not being able to do it too, but kind of just carrying on his way, as if to say, you can do it too wonwoo… its a kindness and an act of love in itself i think T__T

no but the contrast between soonyoung never thinking of consequences and wonwoo always thinking, always thinking too much. i liked this Very Much. it represents them very well, the way they're so different but complementary!!
“Isn’t it more interesting, to fall first, and see who would catch you?” what a great line!!!!!!

This is so incredibly good, the establishment of Wonwoo's fear set so solidly at the beginning, the contrast with Soonyoung, the moments you chose to show and then the end. All of it was constructed sooo masterfully. And Wonwoo and Soonyoung's characters! The entire section where Wonwoo stopped telling jokes, facts was heartbreaking and then you perfectly rooted it in Soonyoung, tying the two so tight, it's such a compelling and lovely character dynamic. And Soonyoung in this!!! I loved this line so much: Soonyoung was still standing there, frozen in time as if paralysed until a reaction was fed to him, like a coin in a vending machine. He was perfect individually and as a Wonwoo foil, and then the END, the twist, “Isn’t it more interesting, to fall first, and see who would catch you?” god, I really really loved this, it is so excellent, I wish I could ao3 bookmark it asdfkkdf. Thank you for posting!!!

omggggg hwa this is SO.... the use of fear/fearless, the hilarity of the seokgyu contrast, the JEONGHAN fear through ww's eyes, the ww repression vs soonyoung never learned how to keep his mouth shut, “Isn’t it more interesting, to fall first, and see who would catch you?” is such a great line. i'm seriously so obsessed with how you structured this. it's like nothing *particular* happens btwn snwu but the beauty is all in the juxtaposition between them and how he is relative to how ww grew up... i love the characterization and this really is a STUDY. both ww and ksy. i love it... thank you for writing <3

Oh hwa!! the idolverse of this is SO good *__* references to iconic interviews/moments, married to really down-to-earth memories like He remembers the gym in elementary school. Laughter, squeaky shoes, loudspeaker crackle. His classmates are crowded around him. ... it's a perfect balance!! <3 and I love how you work with the theme of confession in so many of your pieces, whether that confession is well-received, badly received, or not received at all HAHA. The idea of Soonyoung testing the waters by putting himself in bodily danger is insanely excellent characterization. I will think about it for days, omg. Thank you so much for this!!

oh gosh this one hurt real bad!! but also felt so comforting in that you've captured the one thing we all have in common with wonwoo, which is being so in awe of hoshi.

"the low-burning oil of an introvert in recovery," "the fear in his artificial focus," "halfway between a pat and a hug" OHHH you do such a good job at conveying the little bits of human body language. i'm blown away

oh my god ok so I think abt the jeonghan fall a lot and what that means for jeonghan, but the way you've used it as a lens through which to view soonwoo... this is inspired. i have goosebumps. the characterisations all feel so real and are incredibly sharply drawn, each line of dialogue never actually says what it means directly but punches you with all the things being implied im soooo incoherent but this is stellar
