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

“What the fuck is wrong with you?” is the first thing Seokmin says as soon as the door is closed.
Mingyu, for his part, just looks confused. “What do you mean?” he asks, cautious, like he’s thinking that Seokmin will jump out at him.
Good. Let him think that. Let him be a little nervous and twitchy when they’re alone in a room together, let him worry what Seokmin will do to him. Serves the smug bastard right.
“I- how are you still so calm? After what I said out there?” Seokmin starts pacing out of fury.
Mingyu smiles wryly, like he’s been expecting this question all along. “Because I know you’re not really like that.”
“You don’t know me.”
“The others do. I thought I’d done something wrong, but they told me that usually you’re really nice, and I thought I’d better believe them. And now you’ve proven my point. If you were really mean, you wouldn’t know it. But you know that you’re being hurtful to me, so that means you must know what it is to be kind.”
And maybe Mingyu’s trying to be generous but it just makes Seokmin feel worse because that’s what Seokmin is meant to be. Seokmin’s the nice one, not Mingyu, not this stranger who transferred from another base two months ago and has already taken Seokmin’s place among his friends. Seokmin worked so hard for every scrap of love and praise he got, and Mingyu’s taking it all away, not even caring that Seokmin now has nothing.
Can’t you see? Seokmin wants to scream. I’m pushing and shoving to make you react, because I know you can’t be that nice. I know that, underneath it all, you’re just as horrible as I am. So prove it already! Show your true colours! Let me hurt you! Why won’t you let me hurt you?
But Seokmin would sound stupid if he said that all out loud.
“Fuck you,” Seokmin spits. “You’re no better than I am. Stop trying to act like it.”
“Hey, if you’re worried about me being better than you, that’s your problem, not mine. I’m doing my best to be the bigger person here. If you’re that much better than me, prove it.”
Seokmin scowls, long and purposeful. Then he turns and walks out of the room, leaving Mingyu alone.
