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

Jihoon hears the door unlock. He hears the telltale rustle of a plastic takeout bag, and the sound of two cans of soda being set down on a coffee table.
"Jihoon."
Jihoon doesn't bother looking away from his monitor. Seungcheol is the only person who has the new passcode to Jihoon's studio. Seungcheol is the only person Jihoon trusts like that.
"I don't want to eat," Jihoon says.
"I don't care," Seungcheol replies, plucking Jihoon's headphones off of his head and swiveling him in the direction of the coffee table. "You need to stop working on that song."
"I can't," Jihoon croaks out. "It needs to be perfect."
For possibly the hundredth time in the span of a day, Jihoon thinks about the first time Soonyoung heard Ruby.
Soonyoung, six months ago, two weeks before it all fell apart. Soonyoung sitting in Jihoon's chair with Jihoon's headphones on. Soonyoung grinning when the first verse started. Soonyoung jumping up when the pre-chorus came in, one hand over his mouth, the other hand clutching Jihoon's in a vice grip. By the time they got to the bridge, Soonyoung was pressing kisses all over Jihoon's face. "This is the one," he'd said in earnest. "This is your song."
Soonyoung came up with three different choreography ideas that same night.
As Jihoon dozed off on the car ride home, his phone started buzzing incessantly -
the song's about me isn't it
LOL ur so weak literally all ur songs are about me
do u think people will be able to tell
Jihoon remembers how he had squinted as he clicked his phone on, the light from the screen illuminating his face as he scowled at the boy sitting right next to him.
"You're such a fucking idiot," he grumbled.
Soonyoung just smiled, quickly typing out another text -
can i sleep over tonight
Jihoon had flopped his head down in Soonyoung's lap in response.
"Earth to Jihoon." Seungcheol snaps his fingers in front of Jihoon's face.
Jihoon stares at him blankly. Seungcheol was already halfway through his dinner, and Jihoon hadn't even noticed.
Seungcheol sighs. "I can't help you if I don't know what's going on."
"You know what's going on," Jihoon retorts.
Seungcheol raises an eyebrow, waiting for Jihoon to continue. This is the last song I'll allow myself to write about him, is what Jihoon wants to say. I just need to have this one perfect song and I swear I'll be done.
"It comes out in two weeks," is what he says instead.
"You need to stop doing this," Seungcheol tells him gently.
Jihoon fiddles with his ear, not meeting Seungcheol's eyes. "Doing what?"
"Going where I can't follow." Seungcheol points his chopsticks at Jihoon. "You get so fucking stuck in your own head and I feel like I can't reach you."
"I don't know how not to do that," Jihoon says quietly. "I'm sorry."
Jihoon's eyes drift towards the shelf where he had stuffed his journal - in it, hundreds of lines about the way Soonyoung's body fits against his own. Several pages of little anecdotes about Soonyoung's childhood that he didn't want to forget. A whole spread dedicated to the reasons why they didn't work out - we're too stubborn, we're too similar, we don't know how to ask for what we want.
Jihoon doesn't realize what he's saying until he feels the weight of it settle deep in his chest: "What if every song I write from here on out is about him?"

I love how this is soonhoon but told through the old friendship of cheolhoon, how we don't see the reason why they broke up but we see the before and after, "What if every song I write from here on out is about him?" -- ouch
