IT IS TIME FOR MY YEARLY PRIDE MONTH PROMPTS!
Every year since 2023, I've done this. And now it's time again! I'm posting this already in april so that people interested can have plenty of time to start getting inspired.
These prompts can be used for anything you like: Writing, art, edits, simple headcanon posts... ✨vibes✨
You can choose to do something every day for a month, or just do a couple of prompts that interest you. There is no rule to actually post the prompt on the specific day either. Just do in whatever order you like, and do what you feel like.
You might already get inspired by some prompts, but if there's a certain prompt that you have questions on, I'll give a full rundown of all of them under the cut + some explanations/suggestions for them <3 (you can of course ignore my suggestions/explanations entirely and do your own thing! It's all free!)
Have fun! See you in june! <3
1. Two moms
Some people have two moms! If this is about two women who are about to be moms, about the kid living with their two moms or maybe someone from an outside perspective of the family is completely up to you! <3
2. Prideful baking
A popular prompt from previous years! Are they baking for a pride event? Are things getting fruity in the kitchen? We'll see...
3. Secret
What is the secret? Someone's crush? Someone's identity? Or is it... something completely else? Up to you to decide!
4. Sleepover
Things can get quite... intimate... at a sleepover. Especially when you're both the same gender and one of you is crushing on the other.
Though it could also be a very platonic sleepover where something else happens. Maybe someone comes out! Or maybe it's a queer group having a movie night and sleeping on the floor! Anything can happen at a sleepover!
5. At a pride parade
What happens at the pride parade? Did someone get lost in the crowd? Has someone painted the flag wrong? Who do they meet? Which people go together?
6. Two dads
Some people have two dads! If this is about two men who are about to be dads, about the kid living with their two dads or maybe someone from an outside perspective of the family is completely up to you! <3
7. Alternate universe
What if there was a universe where they were the opposite gender? Imagine an AU where they got together with someone else. Or MAYBE they live in a fantasy world now, or live in the modern era! So much possibilities with an alternate universe!
8. Coming out
It can be scary... but it can also be one of the bravest things you can do. Who did they come out to? How did they react?
9. Early signs
Sometimes you look back at your childhood and realize... there sure were signs :,D So, let's dig back into someone's childhood and see some moments. Or, why not see this from an adult's perspective seeing themselves in a young kid.
10. Everyone knows
The question is... WHAT does everyone know? And is there still someone who DOESN'T know? How did people figure it out if no one told them? Or HAS someone told them? What if everyone knows except for the person, or several people, involved :o
11. Pronoun change
You may notice some prompts are similar, and that's mostly in case someone wants to do a similar concept with several things and don't want to decide on just one. Maybe you could use the "coming out" prompt for someone coming out as gay and then this one for someone coming out as trans. Or have BOTH prompts be trans coming outs. Or: this is not a coming out at all, just someone updating about their pronouns and it's no biggie!
12. No labels
No labels on the relationship? No label on your identity? No label on lunchbox? You decide!
13. Alternate time period
Imagine if they fell in love, but it was 100 years ago... or 300 years into the future. Imagine if they were as gay as they are now but it's the 1960s on a roller rink. There's a lot of concepts to be made!
14. Crush
To have a crush can be nice, but also dreadful. Who's the crush? Do you think they feel the same?
15. Confession
Is it a love confession? A confession about their identity they haven't told anyone else? A confession about what they did last summer? A confession that yes, they were the one who ate up all the chips in the cabinet! So much to confess!
16. Are they dating or not?
SERIOUSLY!!! WE NEED TO KNOW!! Shenanigans ensue to find this out!
17. Proposal
Will they say yes?
18. Wedding
They're gonna tie the knot and live happily ever after! Unless you're someone angsty (though I myself don't want to be so angsty in pride month, but everyone is different!)
19. Party
Anything can happen at a party. Secrets can be revealed. If it's a "grown up" party maybe some things will be said during the influence of something...
OR it's just a pride themed party and everyone is having a gay old time and no drama happens at all!
20. Song
A song can mean so much. Maybe it's the song that helped them realize their true feelings for something or someone. Maybe it's the song that's "their" song. Maybe it's someone serenading someone else? It's up to you to decide!
21. Date
What are they doing on their date? How's it going? Are they nervous or have they gone on dates before? Or maybe you mean date as the time of day! The date was June 1st!
22. Are they gay or not?
Well, we can't just ask. So we need to speculate and find clues until they reveal the answer for themselves.
23. Gender
What even is gender? Let's ask Judith Butler /j
Is the person exploring their own gender? Or their attractions to other genders? Is it the gender of a baby that is being born, or the gender of a pet?
24. Catching up
This can be a friendgroup who haven't seen each other in a while meeting at a café and see what everyone's up to. Maybe a catching up to someone you haven't seen since you graduated. Oh! They have another name now! Sweet!
Or... maybe it's just a daily catchup about their day to someone.
25. Friends
Friends are there when you need them the most. Friends can be your family sometimes. Maybe this is about queer friendgroups hanging out, or maybe it's someone seeking comfort in their friends after a bad experience. Friends are never far away! (reference from G3 My Little Pony if you can believe it)
26. Travel
Who's out travelling? A gay ol' friendgroup on a roadtrip? Two women on their honeymoon? A solo trip for someone trying to find themselves?
27. Reunion
Is it a family reunion? Friends reunion? A reunion with the past and the present (what do I know, maybe you're someone who likes to do time travel and let younger and older people meet). Is it a school reunion where they discover some people are totally different now?
28. Rainbow
It can be a symbolic rainbow. Or a literal one. Maybe a rainbow flag. Maybe the rainbow is the friends we made along the way.
29. Family
Families can look all sorts of ways! It could be a queerplatonic couple who raise foster kids together. Three dads and a little girl. A group of people who are just roomates in one giant house.
But maybe this is a story about someone's biological family who they need to visit after coming out. Or it could be someone finding a new family that they choose for themselves.
30. Future
What does the future hold? Do they grow old together? Do they keep in contact? How far into the future do you want to go?
