foxleap and jayfeather 🥺

Larchwhisker - A tall, slender red-brown spotted tabby tom with yellow eyes.

Minnie - Small gray and white she-cat with blue eyes who came from the Horseplace. She was swept there by a flood, begging to not be sent back.

Got home and decided to put that FoxJay drawing from earlier into digital, also reworking my designs for the boys. You can't tell me they didn't have crushes on one another I refuse to believe such lies.

Lowkey really proud of these designs, I like Jay's socks.

@foxstride tell me about fox/jay >.>

YES! My actually rare pair.

It came up when me and @mallowstep were discussing gay options for Jay because he sees no chemistry in Kestreljay (the fool that he is), and I think this is the best possible gay pairing for him if we're discounting the WindClan boy.

So, what I find most appealing about it is the contrast personality wise. Foxleap is the kind of energetic, endearing goofball that would worm his way into Jayfeather's heart and help him come out of his shell. I also imagine shades of "stop getting yourself hurt all the time dumbass" as Jay nurses him back to health.

While secret gay medicine cat romance is nice, I actually think it works better with warrior apprentice Jay AUs, actually. I can see them developing a sort of friendly rivalry and improving together from it. Jaypaw may grumble initially because his insecurities would make him reluctant to call a younger apprentice his rival, but over time they grow fond of each other.

I also don't know where I picked this up from, but I like the idea that Foxleap really looks up to her mom and that when he was younger he wanted to one day be a nursery queen but was really disappointed to find out he couldn't get pregnant so.

Picture this: a warrior Jay AU with Fox/Jay and Cinder/Holly. Cinder and Holly ask Jay to be their surrogate father (why not Lionblaze? maybe he and Cinder didn't work out and it'd be awkward to ask him, but it doesn't really matter) and Jay agrees on the condition that they split the litter and let Foxleap be a nursery queen. When Cinder gives birth to a litter of four, they honor the agreement and let him have his pick of two kits.

I tend to think of Jay as someone who wouldn't like. He wouldn't think he'd like kids but when he gets attached to them he's very good with children so. Dad Jayfeather being very cute with his kits and his husband teasing him about it.

(The kits of course all know they're full-blooded siblings and even if based on the split they get more attached to one set of parents over the other because the kits are all communally raised anyway I'd imagine they see all four as their parents.)

Here, take a FoxJay doodle

Quick lil Foxleap/Jayfeather doodle done at work.

Note to self, don't try to color in stuff with these pens, Jay's ears are atrocious

Since you're doing requests, can I have some Jayfeather and Foxleap? I think they have really cute energy but only like 3 people seem to have ever considered it.

Foxleap tries to be a good bf and get interested in Jay's job but his a dumbass who can't tell the difference between grass and herbs.
