#cybug prowl

[velvetwyrme]

Did you ever cover whether cybugs can swim? Because I have this image of them being able to swim pretty well, but enforcers being cats and mimics being dogs and Jeetle relaxing in the hot sink while Peetle is disgusted(TM) and Blue is standing at the edge, undecided, because 1) wet, but 2) Jazz, but 3) WET!!!! lol. Love these bugs so much!

HI IVE BEEN THINKING ABT THIS ASK FOR MONTHS. its never been established if they can swim but i think itd be really neat if they could inflate their tyres so they can float a lil bit!!! they're a bit big for surface tension to work how it does for smaller bugs, but i find the image extremely endearing. i figure jazz'd want to teach blue, so he might just grab him and float on out LMAO.

as for actual swimming... i think they wouldnt do well fully submerged, BUT! since their wings are made of stiffer stuff than irl bug wings, what if they could also use them to propel themselves...

Nauuurrr Blue looks so scared xD What's Peetle's reaction when Jeetle gets back to land? Or rather, blue's reaction

blue gets all cozied up in a towel! he didn't get wet really, but he's eepy from all the "fun" he had...

and as for prowl... uh...

(bonus non blurred peetle.)

it all comes full circle... go my scarab...

Imagining Green coming home with a geode and the next day, both Blue and Prowl are munching on crystals, Jazz being on the sidelines with his little paperclip or smth.

nooooo it was a gift...

Between Jazz making sounds and Bluestreak lighting up (and being very carryable) together they're practically one whole praxian enforcer

masterpost

that was intentional :3c

i think that the pattern of sirens/lights differ slightly across individuals- it's one way to identify what colony an enforcer comes from and also is used by Enforcers themselves to identify each other so at first Prowl would keep getting jumpscared by thinking theres an unfamiliar Enforcer around until he figures out that its just Jazz and Bluestreak lol

also as a bonus take my very loose draft of the last pic because it kept making me laugh when i was tidying it up

[velvetwyrme]

May we get Bluestreak and Prowl content? :3c

Question about the lill jazzprowl bugs? How do they catch feelings and act on it? Is there any courting? 🙏🙏

ive briefly touched on how the two of them see each other before, but i think i kinda skirted around the idea of Attraction for the two of them at the time lol im also not entirely sure why, because ive also had in mind that prowl accidentally ends up courting jazz from the moment they meet for a WHILE now GFJFHD,,

essentially, prowl ends up wandering outside and gets lost, meets jazz for the first time and misidentifies him as a fellow praxian enforcer... and since they're both different species, i imagine that they have different forms of courting rituals.

one of jazz's involves getting led around by a potential mate (a bit like a dance, with some push and pull) and then prowl also follows it up by TAKING HIM HOME (providing food and shelter) and also to meet the rest of his social group (made up of One Very Confused Human)

as mentioned in the linked post above, i reckon that 'hexies probably aren't as structured as praxians are, with groups that tend to rotate/swap around as seasons change/as need be... but jazz has no reason to leave or move about! hes got prowl! and now bluestreak :]

I wonder how prowl reacted when bluestreak didn't headbutt jazz and hug him instead

oh, well thats easy to answer.

but since im here, heres the follow up as well :]c

... turns out jazz would've probably been fine either way because bluestreak is not. very good at this. he gets headpats either way though!

I like to imagine still Prowl sleeps cuddling Blue like when he was still a grub. The protective instincts are too strong, baby is still too small and can't defend himself.

ouhhhhhhh cuddles with baby... i guess this counts as a redraw...?
