The Jellybug Umwelt

The umwelt (plural umwelten) is the perceptual world of an organism - the slice of reality that they can sense.

Jellybugs are both predator and prey, hailing from sodden swamps and mires where the sun rarely shines in full. Their umwelt is tuned to evade hidden danger and locate hidden treasures.

Jellybugs’ most prominent, umwelt-defining sense is taste. Their mouths are lined with chemical sensors that analyze the water they so often wade in or live near. By taking in mouthfuls of water they can taste everything that water has swept by, and everything that has swept into it. They can sense the presence of other organisms (such as food or predators), nutrients in the soil, other jellybugs, and dangerous contaminants in the water - making this sense excellent for determining if a site is suitable for settlement.

An offshoot of this incredible sense, is smell. The very same sensors in the mouth can sense particles in the air - particularly if they’re bound to the ample water vapor that makes their world so humid. As such, smell and taste are not distinctly different senses for a Jellybug.

The companion of taste is electroreception - the ability to sense electromagnetic fields (which are often produced by animals submerged in salty water). When hunting for prey hidden in muck or murky water, a Jellybug can work out the general location with taste, then when close enough they can pinpoint the exact location with electroreception. For Jellybugs electroreception is almost like an extended touch, similar to whiskers. The sensation is often described as a faint pressure, or a sudden awareness, like proprioception or the feeling of being watched. An invisible certainty.

Other notable Jellybug senses are hearing and sight. Jellybugs hear with facial disks composed of small densely-packed quills, similar to an owl’s. They are always tipping their head to and fro, angling the disks to pick up noises from various directions. Jellybugs’ sight is specialized for low light levels, dense clouds and canopies always whittling away light from their star. They have vertical peanut-shaped pupils, specialized to focus above and below them. This is to better see small prey items under their feet, and aerial predators above their heads.

Aanya: *sigh* While you may be the King of Del Bar, I don't believe- King of Del Bar: Please, Queen Aanya, I'm sure in the light of our current situation, a union between us and our kingdoms would be most beneficial! (during this, Zym and King Ezran fly down towards the window of the Duran throne room, before Jellybug lands on the windowsill) Ezran: *whispers* Psst! (no response) Ezran: *louder* Queen Aanya! (they look to the windowsill) Jellybug: *croons* (Aanya puts her head in her hand and barely contains her smile) Aanya: Ezran ... King of Del Bar: Uh ... Is that a talking glow toad? Aanya: Not at all, King. And, even if it was ... (to the window) This isn't a good time. Ezran: Is that because you're with a boy?

WORLD 2 ☆ FULL LIST

- character profiles [ incomplete. ]

> character details

> character images

> relationships with one another

Liorah ; main

Late 20s | | Jan 1st he/him | aromantic gay

loyal , blunt , hard-working , powerful

raised as the youngest in his family, he grew up to be assigned with the dirty work role. from a family of what could be considered royals, he is percieved a prince. and not a good one. his powers of the jellyfish are more a hinderance to his job, and once he comes to accept them, himself and bug he escapes the cycle of death his family have made him the ringleader of.

he has 2 brothers and 1 sister. he really enjoys reading and taking care of his hair. the only person he has held a strong attatchment with was Bug.

he's a man of logic not the arts

his jellyfish powers r present more in very specific areas and he tries to avoid using them where possible.

Bug ; main

Late 20s | Mar 9th | he/any | queer (hdgaf)

witty , teasing , assertive , presumptious

introduced to Liorah from a young age he grew close to him, as they both aided eachother with one anothers magic

when bug gained his abilities his eyes changed colour, vision stronger, limbs extended and stretchier, teeth sharper. he does not know what caused it...

his family life is dull, barely alive, so he dedicates his life to liorah as his 《 partner 》

please note that the events of liorah and bug while in the same universe, take place before the space wives story -> they are all around the same age [ specifics to be decided ]

Star ; main

Mid 30s | Feb 29th | she/her | lesbian

generous , open , strong-willed , integrity

star is from a remote village upon a mountain, and has powers related to the stars. theyre not very strong, so she mostly uses them in aid of her daily life. her passion now is tattoo design and tattooing and she met pitch in uni before they lost contact for 10 years. she struggled a lot for money and would often have to resort to measures she didnt enjoy to keep herself going, coming from a village separate from the modern money system. she is extroverted but does her best to keep herself to herself and doesnt have many close friends.

she remeets pitch at her wedding with phuse and ends up developing feelings for them both LMAOOO

Pitch ; main

Mid 30s | Oct 18th | she/any | demisexual lesbian

logical , quiet , attentive , rude

coming from a planet seperate from the one they now live on, she struggles to adjust to the new environment. star is their first friend there, both feeling like newcomers, so they hit it off. her planet had been overrun by the wider world war at 17 and she managed to escape with a friend, unsure for years if her family made it. they enter a relationship with said friend, lasting the span of 5 years. she met phuse later on in work, getting married at 34 to her !!!

she enjoys simple activities and in particular clay work, and works with phuse in some strange science lab

Phuse ; main

Mid 30s | June 5th | she/her | lesbian

intelligent , loud , cheerful , over bearing

phuse often appears to people to be pretentious, rude or annoying, but in reality shes just very eager and friendly. she comes from a family similar to that of liorahs, but theyre not particularly wealthy and she has quite a lot of siblings. shes not that close to them and prefers to spend her time at the science lab or with her wives.

unlike liorah she took on more physical attributes to her animal, so shes a little bit faster than most people and her hears allow for better hearing ( her animal is a rabbit )

(UNNAMED #2) ; side

Mid 20s | Jan 11th | they/she | aroace

sly , understanding , disconnected , irritable

she doesnt have MUCH development-> frankly very little. bec shes not that important

she is an old friend of jellybugs as they all grew up together. they have a very "idgaf" attitude and only really care if smths effecting their loved ones. her work and what they do in their free time is kept secret from everyone and anyone

[puddleorganism]

Fishing splashing with mama*

*Jellybugs have weird alien genders so in this context “mama” is just being used as an affectionate term for guardian/parent

[muneshadowpaw]

The baby Baits

[zuppizup]

Really hoping Hat takes a shine to Runaan.

Seems like the kinda thing that would make Runaan pouty.

Which I enjoy.

[soratsuart]

Random TDP thought but I very much enjoyed that the animal sidekicks all have distinctive personalities and are characters of their own to a certain point instead of just being kinda there and serving as comedic relief sometimes.

Like. Many shows will just give characters animal sidekicks for the sake of it and not do much with them with counted exceptions (looking at you The Owl House, I love the palismen but other than Flapjack most of them didn't do much, not even Luz's). In TDP, meanwhile we are introduced to Bait from episode 1 and he's always had a very distinct personality even before the reveal that Ezran can understand animals (thus allowing for better chances at having animals express themselves and giving them personalities).

Bait is grumpy and rolls his eyes at the kids antics a lot, but he undoubtedly loves them all a lot and tries to help them to the best of his ability, be it by acting as a comforting presence when they're sad, literally acting in the face of danger (as part of a plan or otherwise) to help them or doing silly things to cheer them up like helping Callum cheer up Rayla in s7. He also has his own stuff going on, tho! I enjoy how easily jealous he gets of all the other animals (or dragon) when he first meets them only to eventually warm up to them and protect them or comfort them too! He's such a fun character and TDP wouldn't be the same without him. When I tell you I'd die for this glowtoad-

And then there's Stella! When they introduced her I was a bit worried this would be one of those instances where they give the female protagonist an animal sidekick just cuz the male protagonists had one and then do nothing about her, but turns out I was wrong! Stella is so charismatic and fun. She's cute and loving but also mischievous. She has turned out to be such a great help for the characters and I like how much she tries to help Rayla, sometimes to her own detriment like when she fell trying to catch the pearl. The fact that she has an habit to just grab whatever catches her eye is so funny to, little thieving monkey... The fact that her magic makes her a legit threat in combat caught me by surprise tho (THE FUCKING PORTAL DECAPITATION IN THE FINALE, HELLO???)

I can't say much about the bailings because they don't have that much going on for them yet. They're literal babies and their personalities aren't that distinctive in comparison + haven't had the chance to develop themselves yet, but it's nice they have at least some preferences displayed already like Hat just deciding that they want to be with Soren specifically from the get go or Jellybug having a sweet tooth. I'm also a big fan of Sneezles sticking with Callum and helping Stella make Rayllum real again (our MVPs for real those two)

Over all just. Idk, I really like these little creatures a lot, they make me smile whenever they appear on screen and I really enjoy the fact the writers made sure we'd have reasons to care for and get attached to them. They're a very important part of this show too, even if they might not be as noticed as the human, elf and dragon characters
