THE DANCING MEME
young and sweet, only seventeen

There's so many reasons why people dance. For fun, for tradition, for community, for courting, for taunting your enemies. Maybe you're just friends, maybe you're having a father-daughter (or parent-child) dance, maybe you're dating or almost dating. Gen or shippy, either is fine, as long as you're dancing!

Post your preferences and maybe a starter, then tag around!

PROMPTS
ONE. Spontaneous Dancing
You're doing something else, maybe out somewhere, maybe seemingly alone in your apartment when you just feel the urge. The song you're listening to is really catchy or you just got good news. Does the other person get invited? Join in on their own accord? Just watch? Is it a flash mob? Whatever the reason, you’re dancing now!

TWO. A Celebration
It's a wedding! Or maybe a festival, holiday, school dance, or birthday party. Point is, it's an occasion. There's music and a dance floor and no reason why not to let loose! Be is fast paced to the dj, slow dance with a partner, or traditional dance, it's all part of the celebration.

THREE. A Gala
It's not just any kind of event, it's fancy. There's probably someone pretty rich throwing it, and you better be dressed up nice. Chances are you're just as likely to be here dancing for business just as much pleasure. Maybe you're even here to steal something, or make political connections, or fundraise for charity. But dancing is part of the deal so take your partner's hand and lead them out on the dancefloor!

FOUR. Masquerade
Much like the gala, it's fancy. Or it could be a Halloween party. Either way, everyone is wearing some kind of costume and mask. Who is this mysterious person you're dancing with? A stranger? Friend? Enemy? Frememy? A mystery. Or perhaps not a mystery, but you can pretend!

FIVE. Clubbing
It's a bar or club or hey, maybe a sock hop, and you're here to have fun. Drinks optional, music loud, dance floor crowded. Be it with friends or a date, you're going to dance tonight. Feel the beat of the tambourine.

SIX. Performance
Ballet recital, music video, talent show, traditional ceremony -- you’re not just dancing, you’re dancing for an audience. Everyone’s eyes are on you and your partner, so let’s hope you don’t get stage fright!

SEVEN. Wildcard.

[He is a ballroom dancer, so this is right up his alley.]

(ooc | Information, permissions, and warnings can be found here. tldr; info and permissions here. Important to note: Sui is a nine-tailed fox spirit.

OTA for gen or one-sided shipping, M/M 21+ for mutual shipping. Also available in his human form at

flirtyfox, which works better for human characters.

He hasn't done very much clubbing, being a spirit and all ((though his human version also hasn't)), but he's very elegant and knows several ancient Chinese dances and sometimes performs in the right places. He's also the type to pull someone he finds cute into a dance. )

(ooc: OTA. basic information ◎ permissions ◎ warnings ◎ contact info ◎ Cross canon/medium welcome.

He's actually a pretty good dancer and, if we want to add a twist, is an ice skater which is dancing but on ice. He's also easily flustered so something more formal he has to attend is a fun way to rile him up. )

( ~~Undusts the several years of neglect from this.~~ Well, well then! So, yes or nay? )

(ooc | Definitely yay c:. )

( Sooo, do you want like the formal thing, or training session turning into them trying ice dancing just because they ~~are better at it than Viktor and Yuuri~~ can? Or anything else you might have in mind? )

[ The training session turning into ice dancing sounds hilarious, and I'm all here for it. ]

[ooc; but make it shippy.]

[ Sure she can dance, but don't expect her to know many modern styles, she's centuries old. ]

[ooc: Prefer shippy type prompts, please!]

[ The curmudgeon at a fancy event (3,4). ]

[Juliette Capulet's lady in waiting from the french musical version of the stage play. Cross-canon, assumed CR, AUs are all welcome.]

[The musical version of the actualfacts historical figure. Fell in love with Death when she was a child. Like you do. Open for AUs, assumed CR, cross-canon. The works!]

Edited 2021-12-14 04:56 (UTC)

( i mean... m/f for anything shippy. VERY here for aus and cross canon! )

[ooc: prefer the shippier side of things.]
