tag meme — list 3-5 snippets of literature/media that live in your head rent-free to the point where you have them memorised; write them down from memory, no cheating allowed 

Oh I love when I get to scream about quotes, thank you for tagging me @huacheng-zhu , I will now proceed to scream.

Tagging - @falserib and well, anyone else who wants to do it?

"I would know him from the way his feet struck the earth, I would know him in death, at the end of the world." || "Will I feel his ashes, as they settle against mine?" || "He is half my soul, as the poets would say." || "What has Hector ever done to me?" - The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

Okay. I don't think I got the first one quite right and it's several quotes but shh, tsoa is one of my favourite books and the lines in it are *chef's kiss*. Miller wrote an incredible book and it's one of maybe 3 that have made me cry like a little shit. God.

I love the first ones because they're just so goddamn romantic but the last quote?? The last quote ruins me. Everytime I read it I just started laughing a bit hysterically because I knew.

"I have never known hate before. I have never known loss. Now they are with me, always. And I desire nothing, but to share them with you." - The Magnus Archives (I don't know the actual episode number)

This one is so Good. The delivery, the characters, the way you feel kind of bad for them. Just, the resignation in his voice, when he says it. He's so obviously hurting and he does want revenge. He does. But there's also no point now, when that other half is gone.

I feel like it's one of those quotes that you can kind of get even without context? But context makes it better. I also think I got it right, I usually dislike the phrasing on the second half and tend to change it. But now I made an effort to remember it right lmao

"Mo Weiyu! You fucker! You piece of shit! How can you say he didn't save you?! How can you say he didn't save you!" || "The world is still so beautiful. I don't want you to die with me." - 2ha by meatbun

Ha. I love these quotes. The "Mo Weiyu! You fucker" quote was the first one I wrote down while reading 2ha. I don't think the first part and "how can you say he didn't save you" are said in the same sentence, but they're connected.

I had such complicated emotions during that scene. I was so fucking happy that Mo Ran finally got a "slap to the face" because I still couldn't stand him back then. It was also just fun that he got cursed out. And when he realises what actually happened? *chef's kiss*

The second quote is very romantic imo. I love both when lovers die together in media and when the dying one asks the other to live. It's so mean but you also understand why they do it. It's very similar to the ending scene of Hamlet before the "goodnight, sweet prince." Hamlet asks Horatio to live, I don't remember the actual phrasing but it's smth like "if you ever cared for me, live" and it's so cruel, Hamlet you shit.

"Infinite in mystery is the gift of the goddess" || "The wandering soul knows no rest." || "Do you fly away now? To a world that abhors you and I." - Loveless from ff7: crisis core

"I have no name, I am but two days old." - Devil May Cry 5

Hello I love characters who walk around spouting poetry that barely makes any sense for the scene they're in. Both the ff7 ones and the dmc5 quote are exactly that, so I put them together. It's Good. I also spout random lines of poetry sometimes. Kudos to "i have no name" because it actually leads into him telling them his name, so it's actually relevant for the scene.

Anyway, some of the loveless quotes are pretty neat out of context, there's also that one like "the arrow has left the bow of the goddess, smth smth smth", I remember liking that one but I don't remember all of it. Also, honorable mention: that cutscene where the Firsts fight and Seph knows exactly what page/act/etc the loveless quote is from. I love that scene so much. It does live in my head, rent-free.

I think that's, more than enough. I could go on. I didn't even touch classic lit, which I am also very into.
