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] and the wind will be my hands
SECOND OF ALL it is killing me that you were like "idk anything about wonwoo or chan" and yet your wonwoo and chan are perfectly characterized to a degree i could never hope to reach
like
Being alone doesn’t bother Wonwoo, but it does make him want things in a way he didn’t before. That was something Mingyu had often complained about - he never initiated much, he didn’t think to reach out and take Mingyu’s hand while they walked. He does now. The skin under Chan’s eyes is so dark it’s almost bruised, and Wonwoo thinks about laying his thumb there. ummmm???? THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS HERE, the way wonwoo didn't want it with mingyu because mingyu pushed too hard and made it too easy, the way he's fine being alone but it makes him think about other people's company differently, WANTING TO DELICATELY TOUCH THE SKIN UNDER CHAN'S EYES.... christ. and the way chan is literally just chewing his dinner thru this entire emotional journey with no idea of what is happening... my god, your brain!!!
i love love loved the description of chan too, about how he was too serious and never got when people made jokes about him, but also funny and kind to wonwoo!! they are little buddies :( i hope neither of them are gonna die :((((
also i personally think that the best horror is when you have the vague sense of unease slash building anxiety that something horrible is going to happen and let me just say, u def nailed that one. WHY DOES IT SMELL LIKE DIRT. CHAN WHAT DID U FID. CHAN MAYBE U SHOULD HAVE TOLD SOMEONE BABE I RLY THINK MAYBE U SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT.
i am sure this will be revisiting me in the future so thank u for that!!!! :) BUT REALLY THO you are very very good and i love you, and i'm so glad you are sharing your wonderful ideas with us like this!!!!!!!
