Travel

Daphne was excited to finally go somewhere new. She traveled often outside of the country, visiting six out of the seven continents many times, (Antarctica was just too cold for her) going to life changing places like Nigeria and Brazil, along with the iconic fashion weeks in Italy and France, but she never really traveled within the USA. She had never traveled out of New York City for more than 3 hours while staying in the US. Now she was going across the country to the sunny San Diego. Her friend Nori, someone she met at the beach with the Varmitechs, invited her out to stay with her family for a week, because her mom is going on another business trip in Las Vegas, a couple hours away from San Diego. The plan was for Daphne and her mom to take the jet to Las Vegas, and Daphne would take a short flight to San Diego from there. Daphne zipped up her two huge suitcases and got ready to get on the jet, to take off for the gorgeous California. 

Daphne was super excited to see her friend again and meet her family. Nori and Daphne talked often over video calls and texts, and whenever Nori was in New York, but Daphne didn’t see her as often as she would like, and had never met any of Nori’s other family. Daphne wondered if they were as effortlessly cool as Nori was. Nori was a photographer and skateboarder, both things Daphne was awful at, and was incredibly close with her whole family, even her aunts and uncles. She was older than Daphne was and had an air of maturity that Daphne had not been able to replicate, no matter how hard she tried. Daphne had heard so so much about Nori’s family and all of their talents and was excited to finally put faces to the names that she had been hearing since the beginning of the friendship. 

After getting out of Andrea and Nori’s car, who had picked her up at the airport, Daphne took a long look at Nori’s house. It was gorgeous and so chic, Daphne loved it. As Daphne walked through the door, she was instantly met with chaos. Nori gave a quick introduction of everyone after seeing Daphne’s shocked face and introduced them to her. Jett, Nori’s twin brother, was sitting on their kitchen counter eating an orange, while Layla, Jon, and Tim, Nori’s younger sister, uncle and dad, respectively, danced around the kitchen while a Switchfoot album played. Two more of Nori’s uncles were playing a very heated game of Uno together. Daphne’s mind was reeling from all of the chaos. She was not used to more than three people in her house in general at a given time, let alone, one room. Andrea, after seeing Daphne’s face, laughed and assured Daphne that the Foreman household is always crazy, to which the group whooped and Nori smiled at. Daphne managed a smile and tried to relax, knowing she was going to have fun here.

Purple

A free verse poem of sorts I wrote from Zach’s perspective a while back. It felt right to post it now. Mentions/implications of abuse contained within.

Lilac nails, paint chipped that I help erase. 

Purple eyeshadow, hiding the truth that lies underneath. 

Violet tear stain that line her face. 

Blue violet eyes that shine up at me through the tears. 

Purple bruises hidden.

Trailing down her thighs, 

Violet ring on her finger,

Hand held in mine.

If he lays so much as one finger on her again he’ll be see violet stars.

If I included your oc and you would not like me to, please dm or comment and I will remove them

*I do not own Macbeth or Wild Kratts

i’m replying to a lot of ao3 comments for the first time in my life, so my brain conjured this meme

All of these please!! But especially the Donita Paisley one, I’m so sad they never collaborated

Now that the psychic damage over Paisley's redemption has worn off, here are some hopes/episode ideas I have in regards to the future of her character arc on the show. Assuming that she isn't written off the series (which would be nothing short of a giant middle finger to her voice actress and the fans who waited 3 years for the character to return).

An episode that gives us closure for Rex. Whether or not he'll redeem himself alongside Paisley. I frankly do hope he does because like Paisley, he has had so few appearances in the show. Paisley getting redeemed after only 6 episodes of being a villain is one thing, but it'd be VERY hard to accept Rex becoming a main antagonist after serving as an underling [maybe they could make it work but that feels like a stretch] Plus they have the healthiest relationship among all of the villains on the show, so I don't like the idea that these two would wind up fighting each other in the future.

An episode akin to "Adapto the Coyote" where Paisley has her own subplot learning about the animals around her through misadventures. Maybe she's trying to build an eco-friendly environment but the animals keep getting in her way, so she tries to find an ethical loophole only to find out that the animals are the key.

On that note, I think Pave Nature Incorporated being kept in business but having their goals change would be an easy loophole. Construction, but in ways that leave animals and their habitats out of harm's way, or better yet, put them under protection. It would be a natural change for the character without doing a complete 180 of everything established with them [which can ruin a good redemption/development story]

Post-redemption Paisley meeting and facing off against the other villains. Again, this is something that the special kinda left on a thread that I think would be interesting to follow up on. Despite having minimal appearances in the show, Paisley and Rex have established themselves to be allies to Zach, Donita, and Gourmand. So this would be a game-changer to hear that she's with the Wild Kratts. Would the villains attempt to go after her? Would they try to use her to get to the Kratts? Zach's a specialized hacker, maybe he could intercept Paisley's tech to use it against her and make her look bad in front of the crew. Really interesting shit there!

And while we're still on that, a 1v1 interaction between Paisley and Donita. Paisley's been on the show for 8 years and a member of the villain team for 6 years and the 2 female villains on said team [as far as I recall] rarely exchange that much dialogue. It's already enough that we didn't have them team-up, but them being on opposing sides opens other opportunities. They could face off or be mirrors to each other, one could try and convince the other to join their side with no avail.

Her interacting with the other Wild Kratts Kids. As far as I'm aware, she's the only villain not to, which, whilst a testament to how badly unterutilized she is, could be interesting. Do the WK kids know about her if they've never reported her? Are they as easily willing to buy her overhaul as the rest of the crew is? Are the kids and Paisley willing to learn from each other voer their stance about nature? Interesting stuff!

I'm probably aiming too high when it comes to expectations but they backed themselves into a corner here with no way out, I'd really love to see how they handle this.

I’ve been waiting for this one! So so excited, chapter 1 was 🔥🔥🔥

Decoded Chapter 1

Summary:

Martin was the self-sacrificial type. He was the one who woke up every night just to pull Chris out of a nightmare. He was the one who tested the more questionable technology Aviva whipped up. He was the one who took on extra tasks when someone wasn’t feeling well. He was the one who would take the blame when the brothers landed themselves in trouble. He was the one who would carry the burdens of everyone else around him, while locking his own away in a dark corner, and never once complain. And Chris knew for a fact, the only reason Martin didn’t trade places with him when Diego dragged him away and locked him within his own mind was because his brother couldn’t work miracles. But Chris didn’t think he could share this burden with Martin. He decided he wouldn’t even give him the choice.

the angstttt! I love it so much

What if Chris will work with Zach?

The first meeting part 2

"So that was your brother Chris?" Aviva asked and Martin nodded.

"Yes, the last time we saw each other we had a very hard fight, we said things to each other and well... I haven't seen him since" Martin explained.

"And who was the one next to him?" Jimmy questioned.

"This is Zach Var*interrupted*

"Guys, look at this!" Koki said, drawing the attention of the other three, "I looked up information about Zach and it turns out that he is an inventor and CEO of Varmitech Industries, a company that is dedicated to collecting animals and turning them into robots." Everyone was horrified to hear that. "And you say that your brother Do you work with him?" Koki asked offended.

"There has to be an explanation for this, I'm sure," Martin said, refusing to believe that his brother works in that horrible world.

"Mh....let's see Chris Kratt" Aviva searched and got some results "Chris Kratt biologist, zoologist and personal secretary of Varmitech industries, although he has some individual studies for the company he works for"

Everyone looked at Martin waiting for him to say something, on the other hand Martin grabbed his head more stressed than he was before, the looks on him were uncomfortable, it had been a long time since he felt comfortable with them, but he knew he had to say. something "I....this is my fault" was the only thing I managed to say about the one in blue

"Don't say that Martin, how would you know that your brother would work with someone like that?" Aviva consoled "we better make a plan to save those poor Oryx and talk to your brother and solve this"

"Yes, maybe we can meet him, Koki and I too," the pilot said enthusiastically.

"I have no intention of meeting him, I don't like people who hurt animals," Koki emphasized bitterly, who was very upset with the situation.

"Not us, but it's about my brother and I have things to talk to him about," said Martin, defending his brother. Maybe he doesn't know the reasons why he joined a company that harms animals, but that's no excuse. to treat him badly "Aviva, I think something occurred to me," the oldest finally smiled, leaving the others with the excitement and curiosity of knowing what occurred to him.

...

A new day had arrived, the bright sun greeted all living beings with its splendor, giving a good sign that that day would be beautiful.

Martin and Aviva went out with createrra where Zach and Chris were to start their plan, Martin was just hoping to be ready to talk to his brother and Aviva didn't seem very happy about what she had gotten "Eh? Hey it's your brother again" Zach said enthusiastically.

"Oh..." the boy said with little interest, who left without saying anything else. His boss tilted her head in confusion but preferred not to stop him, "he will have his reasons for leaving." He thought.

"Hello Zach, it's been a while," the older man greeted there.

"About 8 years to be more exact"

"Yes haha, um, Zach we were talking Aviva and I and she is very curious to know how to ride an Oryx" this made the inventor very happy who couldn't help showing it

"Really?" He asked excitedly, doing a lot to the girl.

"Hey, well, me," she said, a little uncomfortable because of the rudeness. "Come on, you'll have a lot of fun, I assure you!" She said and took her by the wrist and took her straight to the stables.

"Have fun," he greeted them, both inventors walked away. "Now to look for Chris," he said seriously and setting off.

Chris was looking at some papers, while he watched his boss chat with the purple girl and help her get into the Oryx. "She looks so happy." He thought to himself when he suddenly felt someone touch him on the shoulder.

"Hello," a shy Martin whispered, Chris felt like all the muscles in his body tense and prevented him from moving. "It's been a long time since we last saw each other, don't you think?" He joked nervously when he saw how the youngest didn't answer. "I understand that maybe you don't want to see me, I just wanted to know if you're okay." He said, looking away to see the two inventors talking.

"I'm fine, thanks for asking." He spoke with a certain tone of indifference that Martin never imagined hearing from his little brother. "Are you doing well?"

"Oh yes! In fact, I founded my own animal protection and research team!" He said excited to see that his brother was paying attention to him.

"Yes, mom told me a little about that when I talked to her, she said she was proud" this surprised Martin a lot, he didn't think that Chris would still communicate with the rest of the family after what happened between them and this Chris did. I noticed by the look of confusion and surprise on the older man's face, "that you and I had not been together anymore, that doesn't mean that I didn't communicate with the rest of the family," he clarified, you could see some discomfort at having to clarify it, "but You'd know if you went to family gatherings..." he hissed venomously.

"I didn't mean to make you angry friend, sorry, you know that kind of things happen to me hehe" I try to calm the tension that formed after the poisonous comment

"We are not friends," he said, keeping his distance from the opponent.

An awkward silence ensued after that, Chris seemed to wait patiently for his brother to leave while he continued with his work.

"And what are you doing?" He asked as he snooped through the important papers that Chris had in his hands.

"Don't act like you care," Chris stressed with an annoyed and tired expression, moving the papers away from Martin's gossiping gaze. And he began to walk away from there, being chased by Martin who did not stop talking to him.

"But if I care, at least you could tell me what you do with your life, I told you a little about mine, that's fair" he stood in front of him to prevent him from continuing walking, Chris only seemed more upset but he didn't want to make a fuss.

"Martin, please let me pass, I have work to do" he tried to move but his older brother prevented him from moving forward and in an accident Martin surrounded him with his arms, preventing him from moving, bothering the youngest a lot "are you in trouble or something like that? Let me go, is it?" "Seriously" The youngest ordered, clenching his fists in annoyance.

"No, I won't do it until you answer me," he clarified. Chris sighed tiredly and relaxed his fists.

"Okay, I'm fine, I have a job as a biologist and secretary at the company Zach founded, happy?" I ask, asking with my eyes to release him from that hug.

"Not at all, why did you decide to go with him?" Martin looked at him with pity and Chris looked away.

"He offered me a position, I needed a biologist and we had known each other since we were little, so why not?" He said in a carefree tone, Martin still had a pitiful look, he looked like a puppy who had been punished and Chris felt more uncomfortable in the hug "Can you let go of me now!?"

"Hey, okay," he said, releasing him, Chris adjusted his clothes and took a few steps back to have distance.

"If that was all you wanted to tell me, I'm leaving" he was going to take another path when one time they were called

"Chris!/Martin!" They were from Zach and Aviva, the two inventors were calling them so they had no choice but to go

....

"Wow, you're very good at this," Zach commented, surprised to see how Aviva had no problem jogging.

"Thank you, although it bothers me, I must admit that the seats are very comfortable" I said sadly "even so, I still believe that the Oryx should not be used as saddles"

"Well, that's your opinion," said the one in the black vest indifferently, trying to anger the girl.

"It's not just my opinion, there are many people who think the same!"

"Just like there are many others who believe that what I do is right," he said, smiling superiorly at her.

Aviva was silent for a moment, she knew that Zach was right about that, so she couldn't make him free the animals just like that, she had to think of something to save the Oryx, until an idea crossed her mind.

"Zach, how about a competition?" Aviva asked, trying to sound as interesting as possible.

"A competition? You want us to have an Oryx race!?" Seeing him so excited, Aviva decided to play along.

"Sure, but with certain rules" Zach nodded happily "you will use an Oryx and I will use my invention, if you win we will leave you alone and you can use the Oryx as mounts, but if I win, you will let them free"

"Well, okay, we'll see you in a while then," he said, confident that she was going to win.

"Well, in that case let's call the brothers" he suggested, hoping that part of his plan had worked on them.

"Yes, Chris will surely like the idea of ​​the game"

"Chris!/Martin!" The inventors called excitedly, seeing how Chris and Martin were walking towards them but they seemed upset and sad.

"What's wrong Sir?" the assistant asked

"Everything okay Aviva?" The older man asked, hoping for good news.

"Everything is fine, Zach and I had a competition. If they win, we will have to leave the Oryx on the mount, and if we win, they will have to release him," the short-haired girl explained.

"I understand, in that case, I will send the zachbots to look for a safe lead here."

"Huh, a race?

"Yes, so come on, we have to get ready," said the girl, taking the blue one by the collar of his jacket and dragging him away from there.

Chris gave a tired sigh as he watched them leave, which confused Zach with "everything okay?" He asked him worriedly, "Don't worry, Sir, it's my thing," he said somewhat discouraged as he left. Zach took one last look at the blue and purple spots and began to suspect that they were up to something else.
