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.

Re: [FILL] a whisper in the breeze

The more he says it, the more it becomes okay. Becomes something tolerable, something manageable, something easy to tuck away and hide and never have to bring up again. karina what the fuck lmao!!!!!! josh trying so hard to convince himself it's fine because it has to be fine.... EXTREMELY messed up and extremely josh. he always tries to make himself grin and bear it!

“I’ve never really done this before,” Joshua confesses, flexing his large fingers this way and that, marveling at their size and strength. His fingers clench into a fist suddenly, fast enough that his knuckles crack with the ferocity of it. VILE!!!!!

Minghao uses Joshua’s face to smile. WRETCHED!!!!!!!!!!!!

you set up the mood and horrifying vibe here soooo well i'm so impressed. you always have such a good way with words and this was no exception. you showed just enough to leave us with a sense of distinct horror but there were still so many questions at the end, which imo is the best way to go with this genre. the exchange with seungkwan (;~;) was so short yet added such a good (horrible) emotional layer as well.

thank you so much for filling the prompt in such a distinct and wonderful(ly unpleasant) way!!!!!! you have so much talent and i'm so honoured you shared it with me like this ( ⌯’ㅅ’⌯)♡
