#cybug prowl

[velvetwyrme]

Hi i just got out of the hospital, any chance i could have a small jazz/prowl buggies for dopamine…?

sure thing! i hope you're doing alright!! here are the j/peetles with some reminders to everyone

also uh, starscream, with his advice.

thanks starscream

PROWL!!!!!! ajkiskijiksnd i love his angry lil expression 🥺!!! THE LITTLE TOOTH...

also i think jazz would like it too jbdkjskkjwjbjdkihhkjbf

Decided it wouldn’t be right of me not to draw peetle prowl after jazz (sorry bee)

@velvetwyrme once again you’ve inspired me

Prowl a lil angry

(Intense buzzing and angry chirping followed by some whoop whoops lol)

[velvetwyrme]

Cybug prowl would rock at tiny puzzles. Doesn’t matter what type, you leave out a little puzzle block or something and you can find him working to solve it the next time you look over. It’s enrichment. Jazz is cheering him on from the sidelines.

ahfkfhdk YEAH,,, i imagine you'd have to get ones that either have a ton of solutions or replayability because otherwise he'll get bored sggffhd,,

i imagine smth like one of those tiny keychain rubiks cubes would be fun! i also feel like jazz COULD solve it but he's also likely to figure out you can peel off the stickers and just do that instead dbxkchdkfbfj,,

ngl when i read the word puzzles, i immediately went "oh like SUDOKU??" and like. just imagine the Implications of that.

(the following is noncanon, but it's just funny to think abt): idk which is more existentially horrifying; prowl filling in a sudoku sheet with cybug gibberish but follows a clear pattern of him "solving" the sudoku, or him just filling it in flawlessly RJFHFKDHFJR

OH yknow whatd be worse than sudoku? CROSSWORDS. not only does that bug know how to write he also knows trivia and pop culture

oh hang on that reminds me of this bit in the next part of the series-

hm. i need to check my grammar. anyway. had to dunk the screenshot because it was blending into my post editor hffhdfbdhs

[velvetwyrme]

No little cybug prowl dont get caught in the giant spider's web hes going to eat y- ... uh...... hm. Now what in the world

same vibes GFJFHDKS

[velvetwyrme]

What happened to cybug Prowl's colony anyways? I do imagine something like a swarm of starving seekers (idk maybe their habitat was destroyed so they ganged up at some point and attacked the first big congregation of cybugs they could find...)... but there could be many other possibilities so. Uh.

seekers ARE a big problem for other cybugs (as mentioned here) but in prowls case specifically, i think it was more that he was separated from his cohort of enforcers shortly after pupating, where he just got enough time to connect with them before they ran into trouble. in this instance it'd have been a storm or something similar, rather than predators/other cybugs.

this is when green would find him and have the experience of trying to nurse him back to health with the intention of letting him go after, but since he was missing bonds with other enforcers he ended up hanging around a lot more, albeit outside (and then jazz shows up!)

also hi im co-opting this ask to reply to a few other jeetle/peetle asks below the cut

no <3

well... maybe? i think that they can probably understand patterns well enough to read some simple words but i dont think they'd be able to understand longer sentences.

im sticking with the idea that they cannot understand human languages (spoken or written) but that doesn't stop them from making associations for series of shapes/sounds and their corresponding concepts.

so they might understand specific words but not sentences/sentence structure imo. probably.

difficult question! how do cats/dogs/birds see their humans?

they dont like. see her as a really big bug (that's what cars are for /j /j) but i imagine they probably see her as a family member, a companion and a source of safety/comfort. i also think prowl would be closer to her than jazz as well.

slightly less difficult question! gives me an excuse to mention something thats been on my mind for a while sjkfdhsdf

i've been thinking of jazz as being part of a species that has a different type of social structure compared to Praxians, where they tend to end up in smaller groups that come together for certain seasons, raising offspring together in social groups. these groups aren't as static as seeker trines, often gaining and losing members over time.

as for j/p specifically... i wouldn't go so far as to say they're a bonded pair (they're both relatively independent), but they definitely have a close connection.

im not really sure about how attraction would work for cybugs (gestures loosely at whatever's going on with skystar) because i think that jazz would consider him to be one of his "group", albeit not one that he can reproduce/raise offspring with. (and i mean... he's effectively found a way around that anyway)

ALSO i think something that would be funny is if in their first meeting, prowl ends up accidentally acting out courting activities at jazz, who's just like >:0?! (i was thinking that prowl probably ends up leading jazz around by his hand, and also chasing him a little, and jazz is just like. swooning)

also to extend my response from the previous question- jazz'd view Green in a similar way (so she's part of his social grouping) but minus the mating/partnering context!

[velvetwyrme]

i actually doodled exactly that earlier!!

anyway i cleaned it up and also gave him a friend! for enrichment <3

the powl.. :) now he goes back in his enclosure -ckg

THE POWL!!!!!! He must returns to his various sticks and perhaps leaves………. @velvetwyrme

i feel like Jeetle would be the kind of pet to disappear for Days, making you assume he's died, only for you to find him on your pillow one random morning as if he didn't just make you mourn him

funny you say that...

[velvetwyrme]

I literally adore your cybug au. I'm going through the Worst first part of my year but coming to your blog and seeing these dorky little bugs is literally the cutest. Jazz is obviously my favorite of em so far but that's the jazz bias. I love these bugs so much. Give em lil headsets and kisses

im really happy to hear the funny lil guys have been helping! i am. also Going Through It atm, so drawing funny little guys is my way of making it through the hard times. may the year get better for the both of us 🥂
