This month's prompt list is: Juicy June
Next month's prompt list is: Jazzy July
Turns out I enjoy making prompt lists, and I'm pretty good at it, too, so I've started this blog to centralize that for everyone's convenience.
I plan to have themed prompt lists up monthly, with prompts for each day. They will be tagged "prompt list" and the current one will be linked in this pinned post each month.
My prompts are meant to be usable for both writers and visual artists and welcome both original work and fanwork (unless otherwise specified by a given theme). If you do some other kind of artâmusic, fiber art, soapmaking, danceâand can see a way to use these prompts as well, you are more than welcome to do so!
I encourage you, dear fellow creatives, to have a go at any prompts that strike your fancy, without worrying about committing to the whole month if that's more than you can manage right now. Goodness knows I won't be able to fill all my own prompts. Skip days, start late, do prompts from August in January, whatever works for you. I want this to be fun!
If you post your prompt responses, please tag me @thepromptfoundry and I'll reblog your work here!

For Prompts #8 Blueberries (from Juicy June @thepromptfoundry) and Dancing (with a side of Marriage from Swoon June @swoon-june)
Note: So I am very behind on prompts and know that I really want to finish this because I really enjoy this. The sad thing is that there was a recent death in the family, my dad which was both expected and unexpected (he has been sick for a while), and I am kind of in the process of processing so writing has been a bit slow. But honestly I have worked hard on coming up with ideas for prompts and writing is the outlet in which I get my feeling out. So please understand, no one but me is pressuring me to finish and I really want to, it just might be a bit of slow going. Plus it has got me back into 'Date Everything' which really is my favorite game as of late.
Fun fact: The little star on the blueberry has come to symbolize hope.
Summary: Gilby invites Hector to dance at Dasha's and Able's wedding...
Word Count: 588
...
             The night had been beautiful. From the decorations to the food, everything comes together . But nothing was more beautiful than the bride and groom, who swept across the dance floor as if they were dancing on clouds. Seated at one table, Gilby watched with a fond smile on their face, feeling a swell of happiness as she saw the brilliant smiles on Dasha and Ableâs faces as they shared a slow dance alongside their guests. This day had been magical, and Gilby couldnât imagine a better start to a beautiful life for one of the world's sweetest couples. The gorgeous scenery completely absorbed Gilby, so much so that Hector's return with more blueberry pie went almost unnoticed. Gilby chuckled. âIs that your third piece?â
             âYeah,â Hector said, guilty as he shoveled in a forkful, âitâs just so good!â
             âDasha will be happy to hear that,â Gilby said, turning their attention back to the dance floor. âThey look great out there.â
             Hector nodded. âYeah, happiness looks good on them.â
             Gilby sighed dreamily. âIt does, doesnât it? Iâm so happy for them.â Then they got to their feet and turned to Hector, holding out their hand. âWant to dance?â
             Hector, eyes growing wide, choked on the piece in his mouth. He swallowed it down hard before speaking. âDance? You mean out there? In front of everyone?â
             âI mean, I know you're still nervous about being in front of people- â
             âNo!â Hector said, a little too quickly, as his face turned red. He took the offered hand and nodded. âI would, I mean, I would love to.â
             Gilby smiled as they squeezed his hand, leading him out onto the dance floor with the other couples. Within moments they had found a spot and were swaying along with the others on the floor. Gilby found the steps, easing Hector into a steady rhythm of left and right.
             âYouâre great at this,â Hector remarked.
             âYou sound surprised.â
             âIâm sorry, I didnât mean- â
             Gilby laughed. âItâs okay, Iâm just teasing you. I took dance lessons in high school; it was part of my private school experience. It was waltz and stuff like that, but it helps with some of the basic steps and stuff. It was one of the few classes at that school.â
             âWell, itâs quite impressive.â Hector glanced down at their feet. âThough I am I supposed to be leading?â
             âDo you want to?â
             Hector shook his head. âNo, Iâm good. Lead on.â They settled into a comfortable silence, their bodies moving together with no trouble. They hadnât danced together often, but it was almost as if they knew each other so well they didnât need any experience. After a time, Hector spoke again. âDo you think youâll ever get married?â
âMaybe,â Gilby said, voice thoughtful, âI mean I want to figure myself out first, especially since I feel like I just got myself back into a better place. But one day, yeah, I might want to get married.â Then Gilby thought about it. âDo you want to get married?â
             âYeah,â Hector said, but a second later blushed and added, âum, well I mean down the line. I wouldnât want to get married right now; that would be crazy, especially with work how it is and all that stuff. Plus, I want to experience being human for a while.â
             âBut maybe one day?â
             Hector nodded. âOne day, yes.â
             Gilby smiled as they leaned in and kissed him. âItâs a date then.â
             And though he was still red, Hector beamed.

12. Cranberry
Raidouâs face is pale, his eyes squeezed shut. He looks, in a word, awful.
âAre you hungover?â
âNngh.â
Sitting next to him on the sofa only provokes more dramatic groaning. âAre you ill?â
âThat smoothieâŠâ
Genma snorts. He canât help it.
âI feel like Iâm gonna turn inside out,â Raidou tells him through gritted teeth.
âThe mighty assassin, brought low by the humble cranberry,â Genma sympathises through a smile. âItâll pass.â
In the meantime, he supposes he ought to get a bucket, just in case Raidou is actually sick this time.

for today's @thepromptfoundry prompt, my first little foray into shikamaru x temari
on ao3 here! | other juicy june drabbles
11. Raspberry
Itâs a poor summer, and a poor harvest. Shikamaru looks down at the paltry offering of wild raspberries in his hand, and considers eating the lot. Itâs tempting. He could easily say he found nothing.
Instead, he carefully guards the delicate fruit and heads back to their temporary camp. Temari is waiting.
âHere,â he extends.
Her eyes light up. âRaspberries!â A moment later, she checks herself, âDonât you want some?â
âNah.â His stomach twinges with longing. âI donât really care for them.â
âYes, you do.â
Sheâs shrewd. But she takes them anyway, fixing him with a smile heâll never forget.

read it on ao3 here! | other juicy june drabbles
10. grape
The clearing is littered with carnage. There are senbon, kunai, and shiruken everywhere. In the midst of it all, Genma reclines against the base of a tree, seemingly without a care in the world.
âI thought we were going to train together,â Raidou said, trying not to sound disappointed.
Genma gets up unhurriedly. âWe are.â
âThen whatâŠ?â
âOh,â Genma shrugs. âI was eating grapes. See?â
To demonstrate, he spits two seeds into the air. With a flick of his wrist, theyâre chased down by kunai.
And Raidou, rather helplessly, canât help fancying the strange boy before to him even more.
We're having a Jazzy July here at the Prompt Foundry in 2026!
Sit down at the bar or the piano, grab a drink or a dance partner, and let the music move you!

a hopefully sweet little genma, raidou, and mirai for today's @thepromptfoundry prompt
on ao3 here! | other juicy june drabbles
9. Blackcurrant
The breeze whispers through the leaves of the fruit bushes, stirring the lazy summer warmth as they watch over their charge. Her hands are stained, the berries sheâs picked almost overflowing, and she smiles without realising sheâs being watched as she tries another delicate little berry.
Genma looks away, smiling to himself as Mirai canât decide what to do with the unexpected tartness. Catching Raidouâs gaze, Genma feels a fullness in his heart. Asuma is long gone, but his daughter is here, and in that moment Genma canât think of a greater honour that being entrusted to guard the future.
