I’ve been seeing Keferon’s Apocalyptic Ponyo AU around and it’s really hitting my brain. I can’t possibly get all my thoughts down rn, but seeing Jazz and Prowl as orcas/killer whales is so fun and raises some interesting questions.

My main question is this: Are they resident or transient whales? If they’re escaped aquarium whales, they’re most likely residents (rounded dorsal tip, primarily eat fish, highly vocal, stable pod groups), but they could also fit nicely as transient orcas (quieter with fewer dialects, small and fluid groups, prefer eating marine mammals, pointier dorsal fins and closed saddle marking). To be fair though, the behaviors that seem more like transient orcas could just be a result of captivity and neglect.

Here’s a rapid-fire of more questions because both orcas and mer AUs fascinate me (+ a Hakai Magazine infographic on resident/transient whales and a link better explaining things)

Do orca mers have distinct dialects in this AU, or can all mers communicate relatively easily regardless of place of origin, species, or culture? Would Jazz’s collapsed dorsal fin right itself a little after being freed (which can happen)? Would that even be considered that odd is orca mer culture, as dorsal fins can curl for a variety of reasons? Would they wear salmon hats like some of the pods we see today, or is that considered unfashionable? Has the inclusion of hands in orca anatomy created a completely new kind of dolphin deviousness or are they chill about it? The idea of any kind of orca, dolphin, or porpoise with hands seems like it spells trouble. Are orca mers the same length as regular orcas, or are they longer, as their humanoid and orca halves seem to connect around where a normal orca’s neck is? How deep can they dive?

I’m stopping myself there, but yeah! Orcas! Sea creatures! Transformers AUs! Thank you so much, Keferon!
