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

Re: [FILL] sick w/o you
i keep reading this and feeling like a kid being given their favourite chocolate for BREAKFAST. and then i read it again and feel like that ALL OVER AGAIN.
the minghao-gaze sits so heavy on this one gosh, this line:
It turns out video calls don’t do him justice. Jungkook has the presence of a goddamn deity.
THIS ENTIRE SECTION I WAS JUST KICKINF MY LEGS OUT LIKE, Did you know you were the first boy I ever had a crush on? ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? THE FIRST BOY? Like I totally imagine I NEED U/RUN ERA JK on stage and Minghao just, looking and looking for two years? Before the groupchat? And the way jk greets him it's like oh he took no time at all to catch up to all the love Minghao had been holding onto--or did he? SO MUCH TEASING IN WHAT YOU"VE CHOSEN TO REVEAL AND WHAT YOU HAVEN'T.
And then you hit me with this:
Did you know I’m gonna buy you a house one day? With a balcony overlooking the sea, just like you’ve always wanted. I swear I’ll do it.
I...I need to know where's the house with the balcony, did they make it, which city did they decide on, do they have any dogs, I am delirious with the need to see this future, balcony with the fucking sea view for a boy from Busan ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Then these lines:
Five years catch in his throat. AGAIN. So much history in so little it has my two brain cells boinging inside my skull like a ping pong ball
How dramatic love is. thinking about gmat and the ridiculousness of intimacy all over again
Jungkook sinks into his chest.
Minghao is so glad to be in his body right now.
straight up bawling with how romantic this is. ways to say i love you without saying i love you, this might be one of my absolute favourite lines from you
i know i said this already but i feel soooo full of care and love and attention, this is like the best gift i can get, i will never fear for consequences again if this is what i get in return, i love this more than most things i have read this year already like yeah im biased, but so what. you have planted an entire album of possibilities in my brain with these two and im catatonic but grateful. ily.
