You're not alone. I don't get it either.

But usually it cheers me up if the characters in question are from one of my fandoms, so perhaps this is the point? When one sees (fictional) people they like doing happy things, it makes one a bit happier.

Sometimes it may also be hilarious, I suppose, especially if the scene is taken out of context.

[deadtree]

I have no idea what that even means... maybe I'm too new to tumblr. Or maybe I follow the wrong blogs? Idk... I skipped my prom too and never once regretted it lol

[(Anonymous)]

I've been around tumblr for 2 years and this is new to me too. I guess I just don't run in those circles.

[bored_bitch]

I didn't go to prom, either.
Paying all that much for a dress and a ticket was just... meh.
I had better things to spend the money on. And my friends that did go said it was shit, and didn't have my taste in music, anyway.

At least going out to clubs as an adult, I can get trashed enough to let loose, and not have to pay any extra for an outfit that will only be worn once.

Tumblr rp proms? I've never heard of those.

[(Anonymous)]

I run an ask blog on Tumblr, follow several others, and have also never heard of those.

[(Anonymous)]

in my circle of tumblr (are there nine of those?) there's sometimes an event or day or whatever called 'tumblr prom' where everyone posts pics of themselves and do stupid shit like 'will you go to the prom with me~' and sometimes make dumb photoshops. but then again we also have fandom games where we pair off into fandoms and pretend to murder each other, again with shops and things, so idk how widespread this is

[maverickz3r0]

I don't get it, and I also didn't go to my high school's prom.

But eh, makes em happy, so whatever. I've never actually gotten the fuss over prom anyway.

[(Anonymous)]

At least Power Girl is less of a slag now. Silver linings and all.

[(Anonymous)]

Oops. Posting fail. Sorry about that.

[sootyowl]

I've never seen or heard of this phenomenon before. Anyone have links to enlighten my poor un-Tumblr savvy self?

[cloud_riven]

Is that really a thing. Thank fuck I don't believe in making tumblr friends. Bunch of nurds.

I liked the one I saw (in the Classic Who RP fandom). It was fun, and I like it when the RPers I follow do events.

How it worked is that they pick a day, and the characters have to decide who they're going with (including asking them out in a specific way) and what they're wearing (including actual or photoshopped pictures of the actors). Then some people do threads with their characters' dates/friends set at the dance.

Here is the tumblr prom tag

As long as they're all having fun, I guess...

[(Anonymous)]

Heh, what's not to get? Having a virtual prom gives you the opportunity to get the other half of your OTP to go on a magical date with you and you two can reenact all the clichees that are connected with RL dances and proms.

And best of all: others are doing it as well, so you will feel less awkward for wanting to RP such a silly fantasy.

[(Anonymous)]

The point is people get to

- ship
- do a lot of cliche things like dancing, romancing, kissing that a lot of people dig
- tends to be a good and easy way for a lot of different ask blogs to interact seeing as the premise pushes towards that. meaning for people who are shyer and wouldn't normally outta the blue approach another ask-blog with theirs, they can feel like this is a good jump point for doing so.

It's a fixed situation for characters to react to, OP. With added pretty dress. I despise prom more than I probably should (it's not even a tradition in my country? Whatevs), yet both of my characters ended up going and I'm having fun with the threads.
One invited her former archenemy (now redeemed, they're both married to different people and well past prom age) for kicks and giggles, it was nonsensical enough for her taste. The other indulged the girl who has a crush on him and is questioning his decision because he doesn't want to give her false expectations.
I think these are two fun situations to play out. And there's myriads of other possibilities for every RP account out there. I've seen some lackluster threading but also quality, IC stuff. Same as with any other kind of RPing!
