Daphne Goes On Vacation

They’re so cute!!! I feel like Daphne and Angelica would be kindred spirits (the would be total glam queens together). I love their looks, you did a great job with their designs and expressions @lovelybakerandconstructionworker !!

Ok! I made all of the children of Yssa and Rex. Meet the little chicks of the Sandovals!

Meet Esmeralda Miranda Sandoval! The firstborn and most reckless! She's had more accidents than all her siblings combined! Just like her papa. ( born October 24th )

Meet Nunzio Luis Sandoval! The second born book worm. Quiet little guy who just prefers books over playing. He takes after his mama with his looks. ( born May 17th )

Meet Angelica Bella Sandoval! The third born and the total glam girl. She gets along great with her aunt Miranda (Rex's older sister) and looks just like a younger version of her nonna Angelica (Rex's mother). ( born July 12th )

Meet the twins, Vitaly Antonio Sandoval (left) and Violeta Ysabella Sandoval. These cheeky twins are always pranking the family every chance they get. They live up to their birthday title of April Fools. ( born April 1st )

Daphne Meets Nori

(Nori belongs to @caityrayeraye and Varina belongs to @jokerislandgirl32 )

Daphne was enjoying the beach with her friend, Varina, when she saw a blonde tendril, that kind of looked like hair. She dismissed it as seaweed and continued playing. Then she saw something that looked like a mermaid tail. Daphne was going to dismiss it, but then she saw a head, a foot away from her.

Daphne screamed when she saw the girl, trying to swim away. The girl quickly apologized for scaring her, and introduced herself as Nori. Daphne was apprehensive about her, she was a mermaid!!! but Varina seemed to be comfortable with her and they were friends. Nori got out of the ocean, and transformed back into a human right before Daphne’s eyes. It was one of the coolest and weird things she had ever seen.

A couple hours later, Varina, Daphne, Nori and Nori’s partner Harry were lying on the beach. Daphne was fascinated by Nori and her relationship with Harry. She never had a relationship as long as theirs and never felt towards someone the feeling that Nori and Harry felt for each other. Nori seemed like a great person and Daphne exchanged phone numbers with her. They bonded over photography, and Nori offered to photograph her when she came to New York next. Daphne thought that was such a kind offer and accepted it. Varina, Daphne, and Nori took a photo together and then went their separate ways, promising to meet again soon.

I know! Such a sad concept 😭😭

Was talking to my therapist about codependency and had a thought.

Are the Kratt bros codependent? They literally do almost everything together. They constantly think about the other's well being and worry over the smallest of things. They're very rarely ever apart for more than a few hours at most, besides for a few specific episodes.

Could you imagine if something did happen to one or the other? (It won't because Wild Kratts is a kids show.) But just imagine how heartbroken the other brother would be.

Their other half was just taken from them. Cruel fate stole their brother. They would be gutted, broken, and so very lost. They wouldn't know what to do. Nothing would matter anymore. The thought of even doing the simplest of things would crush them because they wouldn't know how to do it alone. And the word "alone" would be the most bitter thing to have in their mouths and minds. The loneliness would be soul crushing, and everything would feel out of place at all times because the other brother just simply isn't there anymore.

Anyway, my day is going great! How are you doing today?

First Post ~ Introduction

Hello everyone! I’m Octoqueen and I've been ‘lurking’ on this Tumblr for a while now so I figured its time to introduce my self insert, Daphne Donata, Donita’s only daughter.

 She’s nineteen and an influencer/model of her mother’s designs. Her parents got divorced when she was seven, and her father is distant from her, opting to live with his new wife and children, who do not get along with Daphne. Donita is very close to her daughter and supports her, learning about the internet and how to further her own company through her daughter’s social media and the internet. Dabio is the father figure Daphne never had. They are extremely close and Daphne views him as her ‘real’ father, coming to him for any advice. Daphne has always had an infatuation with being famous, with her mother being a fashion designer and her father being a famous musician, but she wanted to be something new and different, starting up an Instagram account and quickly amassing new followers through her fashion reviews/runway looks and her travels around the world with her mother.

I used this picrew to make what she would look like

Daphne's School Life

TW: bad teaching?, bullying, quitting, name calling, angst with a happy ending

Daphne never loved school. She loved learning, just not what the schools had to teach her. She just never understood what the teachers were saying and never cared enough about the subject to try to figure it out. Eventually Daphne gave up trying in school, opting to focus on her social life and influencer career. 

Daphne’s teachers seemed to actively encourage this abandonment of school by never encouraging her to challenge herself and placing her in the easiest classes. They viewed her as ‘too dumb’ to understand the complexities of the subjects they taught and never bothered to try and make her understand. As a result, Daphne’s grades began to slip considerably, with her pulling ‘Ds for Daphne’ frequently, especially in math and science, her worst subjects. Donita and Dabio worried about her and her academics frequently, but neither of them were well equipped to be teaching her, barely understanding it themselves. Zach eventually caught wind of Daphne’s struggles and offered up himself and his daughter, Vera’s assistance, which Donita accepted immediately. 

Daphne began tutoring with them, especially Vera, and waited. Waited for them to announce she was a lost cause and too stupid to understand like all of her other teachers did, but that moment never came. Her grades began to improve and Daphne began to foster a great relationship with Vera; she admired her passion for music and how she was able to ‘do it all’, at least according to Daphne. Daphne’s grades began to rise, with her eventually becoming a solid student, with Zach and Vera’s consistent efforts to make her understand enough to do well on the tests. 

Daphne’s classmates, however, did not appreciate or notice this stark improvement. They continued to speak badly behind her back. They never told her directly because she was still a very popular and influential girl, having dated some of the most popular boys and amassed thousands of followers on social media, but they viewed themselves as better and smarter than her, thinking she was just a pretty face with nothing substantial to offer society. Henry, Daphne’s father, and Allison, her stepmother, did nothing to refute these claims, with Allison actually encouraging them, calling Daphne a ‘airhead’ and claiming there was ‘nothing behind her eyes’. Henry felt bad for Daphne but didn’t believe she was really trying in school, so he thought his wife’s comments may encourage her to start trying harder, and Allison was a distinguished student in high school, so she must know what she’s talking about. Daphne tried to ignore these comments, but they added to her insecurities and she began to see herself as an academic failure. She didn’t even want to bother to apply to any colleges, being convinced she would just be rejected, and would just focus on her influencer career, the only thing she seemed to be good at.

Dabio, someone who experienced similar things in high school and ended up not going to college because of it, becoming Donita’s henchman and model, managed to talk her into applying. He said while he loved Donita, her, and his life, not going to college was one of his biggest regrets, and he didn’t want the same for her. Together, they applied to many colleges for a plethora of majors. Daphne ended up being accepted to one of these majors and began her communications and marketing major. Her professors quickly noticed her fame and ability to amass massive amounts of followers through her social media, encouraged her to keep going, and taught her a lot about the internet and social media. Which later helped her get an invite to a prestigious content creation house, and start a PR business in addition to her global influencer career.

🍩 💚 💼 for the ask game

Thank you so much for the ask! There are excellent questions! In response to this post! Sorry this took forever to get too, but I just had to do detailed responses to each! I hope you all enjoy reading alllllll of this!

The answers are below the cut. Please be aware of mentions of stalking, abuse, and abusive relationships.

🍩 -Who is your OC’s arch-nemesis or rival?

Violet’s ex partner Travis Carter is her arch-nemesis. Travis was a classmate of Violet in high school and college who was obsessed with her. Throughout high school he virtually stalked her and never let her be alone.

Travis took the same classes with her, engaged in many of the same extradition activities as her, he walked her to her classes and was waiting for her after class, ate lunch with her, hung around her aunt’s restaurant where she worked…he did anything and everything that would allow him to be closer to her because he desperately wanted to be with her. He constantly asked her out on dates, but since Violet was so in love with Zach, and she was becoming increasingly uncomfortable with Travis’s attention, she never accepted his offers.

Once Zach starts dating Gourmand, when he’s acting like he does not care about Violet (when he really does), Violet is so distraught that she decided to give Travis a chance because anything was better than being alone…it was her worst mistake. Travis was so possessive over her that he became abusive in his attempts to keep her all to himself and keep her behavior “in check.”

The abuse Violet suffered in this relationship was so deeply rooted that it took her until she was expecting the twins to finally face him and make peace with Travis. But she never truly forgave him or got over it, the relationship scared her and defined her for life. But the one good thing the relationship did was lead her to Zach.

Picrew Link

Violet’s rival, until Varina’s birth, was Aviva. From the time Violet went to science camp until Varina was born, Violet had a very poor relationship with Aviva. This initially developed because of Aviva’s harsh treatment of Violet during their time together at camp. Aviva believed Violet’s sour behavior at camp was due to the influence Zach had on her. Aviva did not stop to realize that it was the turmoil Violet was going through in the wake of her parents’ deaths that caused her to act out of turn. So, she constantly judged Violet and treated her unfairly.

The rivalry between them developed when Zach expressed growing feelings for Aviva to Violet. Zach despised Aviva, but out of this loathing came feelings for her. Zach and Aviva developed something of a flirtatious relationship during this summer at science camp. And Violet, who was falling for Zach, found Aviva as a rival for Zach’s affections and attention.

Zach spent so much time inventing with Aviva (instead of Violet) once they started messing around at science camp, and after Zach and Aviva’s falling out, he spent years obsessed over Aviva’s inventions. Violet felt as if she couldn’t compare to Aviva in Zach’s eyes. Zach had feelings for her and valued her superb inventions, therefore Violet saw Aviva as a rival.

💚 - What is your OC’s gender identity and sexuality?

Violet’s gender identity is Female; she uses she/her pronouns. Violet’s sexuality is Demisexual primarily, but she also identifies as Aroflux and Biromantic.

💼 - What do they do for a living?

First and foremost, Violet is Zach’s personal assistant/invention partner. She completes all of the typical tasks associated with a personal assistant, such as keeping his coffee cup filled, keeping track of his business meetings and appointments, completing any secretarial tasks, and then some. Namely, she supports Zach and his evil plans in many different ways.

One of the most important tasks associated with her position as Zach’s assistant is that she uses the skills acquired through her GIS (Geographic Information Systems) degree to help locate theWild Kratts team for Zach. Violet also serves as Zach’s backup pilot, coming to his rescue whenever his plans fail and the Wild Kratts beat him or the animals he used in his inventions seek their revenge on him 😂. It’s not something I’ve discussed in detail yet, but I hope to soon, but it’s worth noting that Zach personally paid for lessons and helped to teach Violet to fly as a teenager.

Violet also (not per Zach’s request, but from her own caring heart) takes care of the varmints Zach captures. She will feed them, give them water, make sure they are as safe and comfortable as possible. Because, no matter how much she loves Zach, she cannot stand to see the animals suffering. She would rather hear his whining and face his anger than let them suffer…this also means that Violet…sometimes 😉….lets the animals…wander free…or, does not do anything to impede the Wild Kratt’s efforts in helping to return the animals to living free and in the Wild.

She also serves as an huge emotional support to Zach, so she is something like a therapist to Zach: she helps him to confront and talk about all of his emotions…especially after his defeats 😂.

Additionally Violet serves as a singer, model, and performer (dancing and aerial acrobatics) for Donita in her fashion shows. This technically was the occupation Violet held prior to becoming Zach’s personal assistant and invention partner. Violet’s dream was to sing and dance/perform for a crowd of people, and Donita wanted to incorporate live music into her shows instead of boring prerecorded songs, so she decided to look for individuals to spice up her shows…and when Zach caught wind of this, he recommended Violet to Donita, and after an audition Donita just had to have Violet for her shows.

After Zach and Violet get married and have children, Violet continues to fulfill all of the above mentioned roles while taking on the responsibilities of a mother and a wife. Which are full time jobs in and of themselves!

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.

Jester sounds so cool!

Despite his bubbly and reckless persona, he was a great, straight A student, also becoming the golden child. His parents loved the compliments and validation they got from Jester simply being talented but that wasn't enough. The Kratt parents thought it was best to sign Jester up for as many things possible, putting him up for Ballet, Art, Language Arts, and Inventing, and maybe more. Eventually, Jester found himself in a Science Camp, sharing a short-lived bond between his brothers' friend, Aviva. Both slowly started losing their connection and started to turn on each other. Then, Jester found someone who would change their life, that was Zach Varmitech, a self centered, prick who just wanted power and fame. Jester and Zach became best friends in an instant, becoming a reckless and loud duo together, often annoying Aviva but never really bullying her. They both stayed best friends even after summer camp for years until Mr. and Mrs. Kratts believed that Zach was getting in the way of their son's success. Years went by with no contact, causing Zach to almost forget Jester was a Kratt Brother. Jester, disheartened and tired of wasting his life in trying to make his parents proud, runs away without giving them a goodbye to forever hang out with his brothers and his pals.

Modeling (Interaction With Donita)

Donita, giving Nia a once over glance: So, you're the new member of the team?

Nia: I am. Is that going to be a problem?

Donita: Probably. You know, you're rather plain looking now. But with some styling, you'd be a real beauty!

Nia, confused: Good to know?

Donita: I mean it. You should leave the Wild Kratts and come model for me. We could make millions together.

Nia: Tempting. But hard pass.

Donita: But-

Nia: Hard pass.

Donita: Well, you're no fun. Absolutely wasted potential.

Nia: I'm so sorry you feel that way.

Donita: Whatever. Come on, Dabio. We're leaving.

Nia: Aren't you forgetting something?

Donita: I don't know what you're talking about.

Nia: I'm talking about the baby snow leopard you have pose beamed!

Donita: Ugh, such a stick in the mud!

Nia: Better to be a stick in the mud than a model for you!

Donita, offended: How dare you?

Nia: Just let the baby go, and I'll let you go. Deal?

Donita: Fine, but you haven't heard the last of me!

Nia, With a deadpan expression: Oh no. Whatever shall I do?
