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] are any of us ever truly alone?
He reminded Junhui of a tree. how could you do this, take a known quote about jun and flip it around like this, im rattling you...the sturdiness that people see in jun but he sees in hao and not in himself T____T
the way the narrative flows, how jun has to stifle what he thinks is flightiness and yet some part of him knows it's not right, "make him think a little carefully about what was being done to him – to them all" and then biting his tongue and getting on with it....jun acts of service are so personal and dear to me, though im not sure this counts as that exactly
A marriage of convenience, he joked, to which Minghao always rolled his eyes.
“Everything becomes convenient to you,” Minghao pointed out.
Junhui wondered if it was the same for Minghao. Minghao, who was infinitely more thoughtful than Junhui was, always so careful about everything that he did, so that in the end it looked like an act of deliberation instead of something he’d mindlessly just stumbled into.
Junhui caught himself before he asked the question. He didn’t know which answer was worse.
jun's practicality versus minghao's thoughtfulness......head in hands, this is my shit, this right here. of course jun would wonder whether it's deliberate for minghao and minghao would feel what goes, goes is how jun is looking at it!! UGHHH
and oh how you drew it to a close
“Do you think you’re going to try anything else?” Minghao asked, quietly. Junhui knew what he was really asking — will we have more time together? Will I see you on stage again?
Junhui took a while to craft his answer. “I don’t think so,” he mustered up brightly, but the end of his sentence came out stilted. “I think I’m done.”
Minghao became silent and Junhui smiled, folding him into a hug.
“It’s not the end of the world, Minghao. You know where to find me.”
Besides, Junhui knew: Minghao was different than he was.
He would make it
even till the end, the kind of unwavering steadiness he sees in minghao but actually he holds all that and more when it comes to believing in minghao and his potential and his future....im just a simple 8junist and canonverse fucker you have really given me everything for this prompt, thank you...put this on ao3 already so i can bookmark it hehe ily <3
