polyship prompts

for all your polyamorous ship needs can't rly stop u but i'd appreciate if these prompts weren't used for two-person ships or just friends, as this is a polyship blog. at the very least, please just keep that out of my notes directly terfs and other transphobes not welcome

[polyshipprompts]

welcome to polyshipprompts, a blog dedicated to fanfic (or original work, idk i'm not the boss of u) prompts for ships involving 3 or more people!

it's... technically deceased. i have revived it a Little, just to add stuff to my queue whenever i remember to sign back on. very casual

my main blog is @bpdalfonse, i am an adult and i use any pronouns. i consider myself a writer but haven't written anything suitable for posting in a hot minute due to my job (boo). hoping maybe running this blog again, even if just a little, might revitalize me somehow

i actually don't know what to put here i just know i wanted a new pinned post lmao. thanks for reading

i don't have any new prompts yet but uhhhhh. anyone have any crossover polyships? not counting characters that are part of the same overarching series even if they're from different parts of it that don't really connect to each other as crossovers for this because it is still technically same series

[polyshipprompts]

imagine a and b of your ot3 being a couple that broke up (for whatever reason), and b is now with c. however, a and b still have some underlying feelings for each other (and. tension with each other) which c notices. and, well. c finds a cute, too, so rather than get mad or anything, c just tries their best to help a and b get back together, too (and get with a, themself, in the process)

[polyshipprompts]

imagine person a of your ot3 and person b don't get along. like, at all. they can barely stand to be in the same room as each other most of the time. however, they both really care deeply for person c... so they're trying their best to at least tolerate each other for the person they mutually care about

bonus points if they admit that, at least in matters of their mutual partner, they trust each other completely/wouldn't trust anybody else

[polyshipprompts]

imagine person a and b both have horrible families they're estranged from. c is mutual friend who has a wonderful family. somehow, c ends up inviting a and b over to meet their family. cue a and b getting to see what a good family is supposed to look like, and perhaps being a bit envious of c. from then on, c ends up inviting a and b over more often, so that they can experience the familial love they never got. (and maybe in the process c realizes exactly why they care about a and b so much. bonus points if c thinks a and b are dating.)

[polyshipprompts]

imagine person a and b can be doing anything (from acting cute to outright fighting) and c will take the opportunity to snap pictures of them. c has a huge album on their phone that's just a bajillion photos of a and b together. c loves looking through it when they're feeling down or lonely.

[polyshipprompts]

imagine person a and b are childhood friends. c is a classmate who's frienemies with a and friends with b. c, seeing how close a and b are, assumes they're crushing on each other/dating. b, seeing how much tension is between a and c, assumes they're crushing on each other/dating. and a, seeing how often b and c are on the same wavelength, assumes they're crushing on each other/dating. cue all three caught up in a big misunderstanding in which they each think they're the third wheel and are bitter/sad about it. eventually one of them says something and the other two are like “wait i thought YOU were dating a/b/c!” and then they all realize they're idiots and start dating.

[polyshipprompts]

imagine a, b, and c are human-animal hybrids who've been together since they were younger. a is the leader, b is sunshine personified, and c is doomed by the narrative. there's a prophecy about c that says they're going to be the downfall of a and b. c hides it from a and b because they don't want to be hated. when a and b find out, they don’t blame c and promise c they'll find a way to break the prophecy together. (based on a dream i had last year that i can't stop thinking about.)

i hope it's okay to spam your inbox with imagines 🙇 i just got really inspired after looking through your blog hehe :3

getting back to this like almost a month later but it's fine! that's what the blog is meant for lmao

[polyshipprompts]

A is super hardworking and constantly gets told to take breaks. on A's birthday, the ot+ get together to make the day perfect and don't let A help with anything, even if A protests.

bonus points if something goes wrong but they're still very insistent that A doesn't help at all!

[polyshipprompts]

imagine your polyship trying to order takeout, but nobody can agree on what to order. how do they solve this issue? do they order from multiple places to please everyone, do they rock paper scissors and whoever wins gets to pick, do they try to compromise and find a place everyone likes? something else?

[polyshipprompts]

Sorry if this has been asked, but are you still open to taking new submissions? :o (I recently came up with a new polyship so I've been thinking about this blog a lot lately.)

oh absolutely. it's why i opened the ask/submit back up lmao

[polyshipprompts]

imagine your polyship all getting home from work at the same time, physically tired and emotionally drained, collapsing into a pile on the couch or in someone's bed, and just resting for a bit before ordering takeout

[polyshipprompts]

imagine your polyship playing dnd together. what class does everyone make their characters? who makes their character blatant self-inserts versus getting suuuuuper into the roleplaying aspect and making a character who is basically the complete opposite of them? who's taking the game seriously and who is just there to fuck around and mess with everyone else?

[polyshipprompts]

Kiznaiver inspired AU where pain inflicted on one person is divided between several people.

Before being joined by the kiznaiver system, someone has a habit of getting into fights and getting hurt, someone doesn’t take care of themselves because they have a high pain tolerance, someone self harms, etc etc. Their respective habits now have consequences on the others, and as they become closer to each other they are more careful about hurting their partners and by extension learn to take better care of themselves.

[polyshipprompts]

imagine person a and person b of your ot3 teaming up to annoy the hell out of person c
