notes: feel free to mix and match prompts and ignore sections of them at will. anything referencing a book/film/anime au is only meant to be an illustration of a concept, you do NOT have to read or watch it at all and feel free to write whatever - it's just meant to be the spark of an idea.
1.Purity Ring - Lofticries song and music video
image (into the past)
“Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.
Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance.
Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence.
Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.”
― Yoko Ono
2. inspired by the anime Dennou Coil PLEASE DEVIATE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE/EXTENSIVELY
person a is moving to a new town and falls in with persons b, c, d etc. It's set in the future, where everyone wears glasses to be able to see the digital pseudo-reality layered over everything. But there are urban legends of being able to forge a connection to close to the glasses, the danger of being trapped in the digital world. Person b's friend died last year, ruled a accident caused by a lapse of judgement on their part, excessive use of digital reality, and the group of friends wants to get to the bottom of the case.
bonus: kid au would be fun but anything else is great too
3. Milk & Bone - New York song and music video
image (I will break my own heart)
quote — Remember that everyone you meet is afraid of something, loves something, and has lost something.
4. inspired by The Magicians (trilogy) PLEASE DEVIATE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE/EXTENSIVELY
person a gets into a prep school for magic but this doesn't hide the fact that he's running away from his own problems. and when, together with his friends (boys and girls whatever you like), they discover a way to enter a whole new realm of worlds, person a's problems only magnify.
5. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs music video and song, the video is from scenes taken from the short film "Scenes from the Suburbs"
clip from the film the Watchmen
image (solder with gun in city, ambulances)
We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita; Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and, to impress him, takes on his multi-armed form and says, "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds." I suppose we all thought that, one way or another.
— Robert Oppenheimer
6. Rihanna - Stay feat. Mikky Ekko
photograph (girl lying on ground in museum)
"I am unknowable." (quote & photographs)
7. Inspired by GOTH by otsuichi (book, manga, live action film) PLEASE DEVIATE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE/EXTENSIVELY
person a has a habit of meeting murders and getting mixed up in their lives, but person b keeps them in their sight, though person a seems to come out okay. but will person b ever step in if necessary? (feel free to write whatever)
bonus: junior high or high school or university would be fun but anything is great
8.Placebo - begin the end music video and song
image (butterfly)
quote Like a butterfly I am growing and changing and finding my true colors in life. I am finding my wings so I can fly and soon be on my way.
9.Nell - 그리고 남겨진 것들
image (breakfast)
three excerpts from And our faces, my heart, brief as photos by John Berger
10. Garbage - tell me where it hurts music video and song
image (garden gate)
Madame Anais: I have an idea. Would you like to be called "Belle de Jour"?
Séverine Serizy: Belle de Jour?
Madame Anais: Since you only come in the afternoons.
Séverine Serizy: If you wish.
— from the 1967 film Belle du Jour
11.Placebo - Bosco
image (sunrise in the city)
poem Je t'adore à l'égal de la voûte nocturne by Charles Baudelaire (with English translation)
12. Daughter - Youth
catch (illustration & text)
"Feed the fires of your heart to light your footsteps through the dark." (quote)
13. person a disappears one night (or dies of an accident or extended illness), and his friends have to pick up the pieces of their lives without him, in turn discovering who they are and how they connect to each other without him.
14. person a is in a long-term happy relationship with person b. person a also is an avid (your choice or real or invented) MMORPG player and in the course of their game play they end up forming a partnership and getting "virtually married" to an online player, person c, with the knowledge of person b. but after a while, considering the amount of time person a spends interacting with person c, person b gets curious and wants to meet them. what happens next?

“Sometimes a scream is better than a thesis.”― Ralph Waldo Emerson
16. Placebo's Exit Wounds music video lyrics
two people holding hands (photo)
“Still, being alone doesn't mean you have to be miserable. In that sense it's different from losing something. You've still got yourself, even if you lose everything else. You've got to have faith in yourself and not get down just because you're on your own.” ― Yōko Ogawa, The Diving Pool: Three Novellas

Childhood
For today
I am
Invisible -
These thin
Glass walls
Only break
When I
Breathe
Let's sit
Very quiet
And pretend
To be mice

18.Halsey - Hurricane
mini heart tattoo (photo)
I am not a Sunday morning inside four walls
with clean blood
and organized drawers.
I am the hurricane setting fire to the forests
at night when no one else is alive
or awake
however you choose to see it
and I live in my own flames
sometimes burning too bright and too wild
to make things last
or handle
myself or anyone else
and so I run.
run run run
far and wide
until my bones ache and lungs split
and it feels good.
Hear that people? It feels good
because I am the slave and ruler of my own body
and I wish to do with it exactly as I please
―Charlotte Eriksson
