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

***
He tells himself that it's not jealousy when he turns on the TV and sees him. The fucking Spider-Man.
Because it isn't jealousy, watching Choi Seungcheol take from him. In this life, Seokmin has everything that he needs. But that's the problem, isn't it? He doesn't have much life left to live. And it seems like everywhere he turns, Seungcheol is there doing what he does best.
His father used to say that some people were takers, and Seokmin thought that he was one of them. A taker, of risks, of adventure. But what Seungcheol takes is different. It's his kindness, patience. Love. Robbed from his grave while his heart still beats.
Maybe it was his fault for offering in the first place.
Seungcheol puts on a spandex suit and he saves people. Every day on the news, saving a life. People thanking him for life, giving them new life.
He'd been like them, too, once. Turned to a hero to ask for new life. He'd gotten an empty answer, broken promises, and a swollen knuckle from punching the wall.
It was easier to forgive before he knew the face behind the mask. But in retrospect, the eyes do see what they want to see. He'd know Seungcheol's body in a room full of shadows. He's held those hands and then some on the couch he sits on now, scowling into a Collins glass, barely sober enough to stand.
Down at the coffee table, he stares at the unfolded scrolls and considers the blueprints that his father left behind. His final affects, a dying man to his dying son, burdens handed down for generations only to die out with a 27-year-old college dropout.
Maybe he still has time to produce a bastard, someone to take on the generational wealth he'll stop being able to enjoy once his skin goes completely grey and his body turns cold.
Once upon a time, he'd thought he'd share his life with his best friend in one way or another. That his offering and wanting would translate into some sort of favor.
But in the end, the doctors give him a week, so he gives Seungcheol three days. Puts on his best suit and lures him to the city center. "I'll be the one in green," he sends from the clouds. And when he seems Seungcheol coming, he sweeps him off his feet.
He learns that the face he makes when anguished is a lot like the face he makes when he comes. His begging is similar, too.
Funny how he pleads now, 700 meters in the air. When he drops to the ground without webbing to save him, Seokmin wonders if he'll be as bent and broken as the bike he was riding the night they first met.
