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

***
The concept of virginity is archaic but he does think that maybe sex was ruined altogether by Big Dick Seungcheol and his lovesick puppy eyes.
Seungcheol is a standard that not many people can touch, despite the constant need for assurance, like a desperate weed sapping the life from an already dying tree.
But Jeonghan does still think of him. In anger when he remembers the things that annoyed him, or with fondness, seeing a friend fall in love.
But usually, he thinks of him when he needs to get off, thinks of the rough callouses of his palms, the kiss-perfect pout warm and plush against his own lips, slow and syrupy makeup sex to amend the hours or days of sniping at each other over next to nothing.
Sex with others ever since has been a hallway of memories, the paintings come to life for a fleeting moment before taking a step forward and finding each would-be masterpiece counterfeit.
It makes him feel like a stranger in his body, trying to learn the secrets that the past taught him and failing to get it right. Used goods. Never the same, unable to be made new.
So he closes his eyes and thinks of Seungcheol and his slow and steadying voice. About what it felt like, being touched with that much love.
The body on top of him may not even remember Jeonghan’s name in a matter of days, but he will leave with pieces of Jeonghan that he won't be able to erase.
Teeth sinking into the flesh of his lobe. His eyes, glinting in the dark. The soft oh when the man swallows him down, wringing out sounds that he has made for others, but will never make for him again.
His hips turn down at an angle and the light flashes behind his eyes like a bulb, photographing the memory to start to overwrite the past. For now, they're still overlapping layer by layer by layer.
The space between himself and Seungcheol will eventually be an ocean, with only the distant whisper of salt and sea spray at his back.
“Do you like this?” the man asks. The pace is too arrhythmic, despite himself, more indulgent in his own pleasure than theirs, but he presses himself closer, legs around his waist until he has no choice but to slow down.
“Like that,” Jeonghan replies, reaching between them. The weight of his body flattening him into the mattress is nice. Hiding his face in his shoulder he nips at the skin, kisses it.

‘But Jeonghan does still think of him. In anger when he remembers the things that annoyed him, or with fondness, seeing a friend fall in love.

Like, so many people come and go, most of them you don’t even miss, but sc left a fucking mark on jh, he always has to live with his ghost - whether that’s remembering his touch, his love, the way they fought, the way he fucked- I AM CRAZY.
I could go on. Basically, I adore this. Thank you.
(Also I don’t know how to italicise on here, so please excuse that)
Re: FILL: what's left of you
to italicize, use the < em > or < i > tags, no spacesi kept circling this prompt like a hawk until i thought of something so thank you for prompting! the burden of comparison is a phantom weight - it just never goes away.
