Bonus Round 4: Quotes

[referees]

A shipping olympics favorite, this round uses quotes of all sorts to fuel your creative endeavors.


This round is CLOSED as of 7PM on July 21 EDT. Late fills may be posted, but they will not receive points.

RULES

• Submit prompts by commenting to this post with a quote attributed to a specific person or character, along with any ship/ot3/etc. from one of our nominated fandoms.
  • Example: "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." - M. Gandhi
  • The quote can come from anywhere. Famous people, poetry, songs, books, movies, your neighbor, etc.
  • Your prompt MUST include some kind of relationship. (This is not the sports anime gen olympics.) Platonic relationships are indicated by an "&" between the names (e.g., Makoto & Rin). Non-platonic relationships use "/" (e.g., Makoto/Rin). Please don't say "Any pairing," either!
• Fill prompts by replying to the prompt with your quote-inspired fanwork.

Oikawa Tooru &/ Ushijima Wakatoshi, Haikyuu!!
no tags, but do your thing

Don't you dare
Speak for someone you don't know
They'll feel it in the back of their throat

I think it's safe to say I've only got myself to blame
But boys in swooping haircuts are bringing me down
Taking pictures of themselves

And so I walk the web in search of love
But always seem to end up stuck
I'm finding flaws in everyone.
I've reached the point where all I want
Is to sleep around in hopes that I will catch back up
We are parallel lines
We’re running in circles
We're never meant to cross

I miss the sound of your voice, loudest thing in my head
And I ache to remember
All the violent, sweet, perfect words that you said

If I could walk on water, If I could tell you what's next
I'd make you believe, I'd make you forget

So come on, get higher, loosen my lips
Faith and desire and the swing of your hips
Just pull me down hard, and drown me in love

Someone spoke to me last night,
told me the truth. Just a few words,
but I recognized it.
I knew I should make myself get up,
write it down, but it was late,
and I was exhausted from working
all day in the garden, moving rocks.
Now, I remember only the flavor—
not like food, sweet or sharp.
More like a fine powder, like dust.
And I wasn’t elated or frightened,
but simply rapt, aware.
That’s how it is sometimes—
God comes to your window,
all bright light and black wings,
and you’re just too tired to open it.

"Oh, how dare you."

"Do you actually think that there's a single person this planet that doesn't know that you photoshop your dick to make it look bigger?"

"Our dicks, all right? I photoshopped our dicks and I did it for US. You wanna cut deep!? Huh!? You wanna play dirty!? All right. You're. Not. Masculine."

"AH! YOU OVERRATED LITTLE TWINK."

The first time I say I love you, your face
crumbles. You look at me
the way man stares in terror
at the stars and the sea.

You grasp your head, fist
your hair, hiss, whisper why me
why me I am weak I am
dirt I am dust I am
nothing—

Why you? Because
the earth is made of dust
and dirt and you are as
essential to me as earth
is to sky; you give me something
to set my sun against.

The dirt and the dust are not
weak. I could build a house
out of you; you are the roof
when I rain.

Tadashi is staring at him, unhappy and defeated. It makes Kei feel ill in a way that few things ever have, young, sick to his stomach like looking at his brother across the stands from him, like having the rug ripped out from under his feet.

“What?” he says, hackles up, eyes narrowing. “Isn't that what I’m supposed to say? Why are you looking at me like that?” On the other side of the bed, Tadashi opens his mouth, closes it again, bites his lip. Kei thinks he really might vomit.

“It’s not—it’s just. I mean, I feel the same, Tsukki, I really do,” Tadashi hedges. And Kei thought he was bad at this, really. “But—you could do so much better, you know? I can't help thinking that, that there’s someone out there who could really keep up with you, really deserves you, and I hate the idea of you holding yourself back on my account. It’s just not fair to you, you know?”

How Water Began to Play
Water wanted to live
It went to the sun it came weeping back
Water wanted to live
It went to the trees they burned it came weeping back
They rotted it came weeping back
Water wanted to live
It went to the flowers they crumpled it came weeping back
It wanted to live
It went to the womb it met blood
It came weeping back
It went to the womb it met knife
It came weeping back
It went to the womb it met maggots and rottenness
It came weeping back it wanted to die

It went to time it went through the stone door
It came weeping back
It went searching through all space for nothingness
It came weeping back it wanted to die

Till it had no weeping left
It lay at the bottom of all things
Utterly worn out utterly clear

my favorite autocorrect of all time. I can't even figure out if it's funnier if Saeko is texting Akiteru, or Bokuto is texting anybody he would call 'bro', or what. You just take this wherever your heart desires.

Went to fancy movie theater with date. Decide to buy a bottle of wine. Go back to bar. Ask for two glasses. Bartender says he needs two ID’s. I’m too lazy to go back to seats to grab dates ID. Tell him I’m alone and was embarrassed to ask for just one glass. He is clearly sympathetic. Idiot me then tries to sell the story and continue on about how lonely I’ve been recently. He tells me he’s off in a few minutes and insists on watching the movie with me. I try to fight it but I could only argue so much without giving away the truth. Bartender is insistent. I text my date what’s happening. Go back to theater with my new date. Sit a few rows in front of my first date. She has the stupidest grin on her face as me and the bartender (Jared) sit a couple rows in front of her. He ends up being super cool and bought me and him another bottle during the movie. Movie ends. I thank him for his gesture. He didn’t even ask for my number or anything. I think Jared was just a genuine guy trying to comfort someone. Met back up with my date in the parking lot and thankfully she found the whole thing hilarious.

I don’t deserve Jared.

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer had a wonderful way of working together.
And some of the time you would say it was luck, and some of the time you would say it was weather.
They would go through the house like a hurricane, and no sober person could take his oath
Was it Mungojerrie- or Rumpelteazer? or could you have sworn that it mightn't be both?

The Triumph of Achilles
by Louise Glück

In the story of Patroclus,
no one survives, not even Achilles
who was nearly a god.
Patroclus resembled him;
they wore the same armor.

Always in these friendships
one serves the other, one is less than the other:
the hierarchy
is always apparent, though the legends
cannot be trusted –
their source is the survivor,
the one who was abandoned.

What were the Greek ships on fire
compared to his loss?

In his tent, Achilles
grieved with his whole being
and the gods saw
he was a man already dead, a victim
of the part that loved,
the part that was mortal.

Jellicle Cats are white and black.
Jellicle Cats are of moderate size;
Jellicles jump like a jumping-jack,
Jellicle Cats have moonlit eyes.
They're quiet enough in the morning hours,
They're quiet enough in the afternoon,
Reserving their terpsichorean powers
To dance by the light of the Jellicle Moon.
