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?

Re: we had our turn but it can't stay [FILL]

[pamantha]

SCREAMING. CRYING. THROWING UP, ETC. This is so good, I'm going bananas, the gentle ache of it all, the way it's already happened and fixed and just a quiet what-if.... I'm obsessed with the entire jicheol dynamic here, how you established that it fell apart so early on but they've done their best all these years to still be there: in some ways, they're the closest - the only one i'd consider my real brother, jihoon had said once - but sometimes jihoon feels like he's a thousand miles away even when they're in the same room. && if it were seokmin, they'd throw out casual i love yous before departing. since it's jihoon, he just smiles and watches the black cab leave before heading back inside. BECAUSE 'I LOVE YOU' would MEAN TOO MUCH. I also really loved how wholesome Seungcheol's relationship with Jiae is and how that wasn't threatened, it was all so sweet, a cherry on top of the ache. Thank you for writing this, I'm rolling platforms now to bookmark this on ao3!!

;; tysm pammie!! something about quiet acceptance really encapsulates the jicheol dynamic for me, like they clearly hold so much deep-rooted affection for each other but the way it's internalized and expressed can be so different?? honestly the cab scene got me too as i was writing it bc some members are super obviously touchy/vocal about their affection and jicheol is just ?? not like that ?? maybe saying "i love you" just cuts too deep...,..,.,... the part about seungcheol being in a relationship with someone else came to me early on and i'm glad you liked it! the gentle ache... that's definitely how i feel about it.
