Disappointment

TW: abandonment feelings

Daphne was excited to finally learn how to play the piano. Her father was an excellent pianist, along with her aunt Violet along with Varina and Vera. Music was literally in her blood, it was how her mother fell in love with her father and how her father paid the bills. Henry Lopez was a world class musician before he transitioned to producing music. Some of Daphne’s earliest memories were seeing concerts, watching Varina and Vera flourish in piano, and watching Henry and Violet play music together, before Henry moved out and never spoke to Violet again. It was expected for Daphne to be another musician, especially by her father. Daphne could feel him pulling away from her, so she couldn’t fail or mess this up. Daphne took a deep breath, steeled her nerves, and walked through the door. 

A couple of months later, Daphne knew she was completely out of her league. She practiced for hours after class every day, but she was still the worst in her class by far. Her fingers couldn’t move quick enough and she always seemed to forget where the notes were, no matter how many times everyone seemed to tell her. She could see her teacher sigh, out of the corner of her eye, as she walked into the classroom. She waved to Vallen, a star student and brother of Vera and Varina, and sat down next to her teacher. When she started playing, she could feel the waves of judgment from her teacher and the pain of all the other students, suffering through her ‘music’. Daphne was red from embarrassment and could feel everyone else’s eyes on her, wondering what she was doing on the piano. 

After Daphne’s lesson was finished, she waited on the curb for her father to pick her up. He didn’t even look at her as she climbed into the front seat and just started driving, pointedly ignoring her. Henry didn’t think Daphne was trying hard enough in piano and viewed it as sheer laziness. “I just wish you would be more like Allison, she was playing in concerts at your age. I’m disappointed in you, Daphne” Henry told her as he drove down the highway. Daphne didn’t respond, she couldn’t convince him that she was trying either way. Daphne could see that Allison was coming up more and more recently. They had never met, but her dad seemed to really be in love. Daphne wanted to be happy for him and she was, but the feeling of abandonment was getting stronger every time Allison came up and the chasm between them only widened. Daphne stared out the window until her father pulled up to the Varmitech Industries building, where Daphne would be spending the night while her mother worked. Henry was supposed to spend the night, just the two of them, but he decided that he instead wanted to go with Allison, causing Donita to frantically text Zach, asking if he would be able to watch Daphne. Daphne was excited to spend time with the Varmitechs, she really was, but she couldn’t help but feel the familiar twinge of disappointment that her father had let her down again, something that seemed to be getting more and more common. Daphne sighed and started walking towards the building, feeling like a burden.

Violet was disappointed in Henry. She could tell that Daphne was upset that he didn’t spend the night, and frankly so was Violet. She was always happy to watch Daphne, viewing her almost as another daughter, but was annoyed by the extremely short notice and complete lack of acknowledgement from Henry. Once upon a time, they were playing music and singing together, but then Henry and Donita got divorced. Violet was upset about the way that Henry chose to handle the news and felt bad for her friend, but was more surprised by Henry never reaching out to them. She sent a few texts to him in the beginning, asking how he was and that she was always there if he wanted to talk, but he never responded. Violet felt disappointed in Henry, yet again, he had thrown away years of friendship and kinship, never speaking to Violet again after the divorce. He even seemed to actively avoid her, never looking her in the eye, something Violet definitely noticed and did not approve of. Henry seemed to be disappointing in every category recently, he was a bad husband, friend, and seemingly father. Violet sighed and opened the door as Daphne walked through the elevator doors, wanting to be the parental figure Daphne deserved.

Have you ever noticed that Chris Kratt bites his bottom lip for most of the series? Sometimes he does this when he's embarrassed or excited.

(These are the ones I found, but I will find more and add them here)

god this cake looks so good

MY WILD KRATTS/ZACH BIRTHDAY CAKE!!!! 2.0 EDITION!!!!

My aunt did it again, she made me a beautiful Wild Kratts/Zach birthday cake! She always makes custom cakes for all our family members for their birthdays and for special occasions. So when asked what type of cake I wanted this year, she was surprised when I said I wanted another Wild Kratts/Zach cake. She could not believe I was still interested in him….but you all know….this is now a 4 year long obsession 😂. But my aunt was all for it! I showed her one of my favorite pictures of Zach, and she created this beautiful cake!

She made the icing light green like his eyes, and the boarder is a gray and red mixture like Zach’s color scheme! I mean literally look at that color combo and tell me Zach would not approve, he absolutely would!

She also included a flower….and wait, give me a minute, I’m so emotional over that…like my whole Wild Violets AU, my whole relationship with Zach is inspired/represented by flowers. I did not tell my aunt this, but she included it in the cake?!?! And if you look closely you see that it has what color in it: Violet. Violet for Violet. That’s what I’m going with…it’s like Vi/I were included in the cake, and I just love it.

The corner of the cake had the icing sliding off by the time I got the pictures, but my dad got a couple better pictures which I plan to post on my actual birthday along a video of the cake, and photos of a mini cake she made for the family! But for now, here it is 🥰. I am so thankful and grateful for my aunt making me this special cake, and I am so happy to be able to share it with you all!

Quick little silly concept for a Zaviva 'fanchild', in quotations because uh, she isn't really a human child lol. I don't have a name for her right now, so suggestions are VERY WELCOME PLEASE PLEASE PL-

Check under the cut for further extensive rambling <3

OKAY!

So you might be asking "Joss!! Why is she a Zachbot and not a real human child???" And to that I say: I don't really think these two would have real children lol

It's like that opening scene from the movie Robots where they build their child. For my specific interpretations of Zach and Aviva, since they're T4T and I like to project into these fellows, I uhm! Don't really think Zach would enjoy being "the bearer of the curse" (referring to pregnancy)

Previous wording is a joke lol, but!! I do think it would be an accurate characterization for this failwife of a man that I resonate with

ANYWAYS, onto this girl herself!! Personality wise, I feel like she'd be similar to Creepie from Growing up Creepie! Which funnily enough shares a voice with Aviva. Feel as though she'd share that love for animals, but specifically regarding bugs and other... More morbid or macabre things lol

Think Wednesday Addams or Mandy from The Grim Adventures but more lively. Still very monotone though! It's that Zachbot in her, so she struggles to comprehend sarcasm or turns of phase. Mayhaps also an inherent Zach autism thing!

As of right now, I don't think she aligns with either the 'mommas girl' or daddy's girl' archetypes - she just kind of likes them both equally methinks Though, she definitely takes a lot after Aviva, both in general appearance and interests

I'd say that a lot of the time the crew and both Zach and Aviva forget that she's not a human in certain situations. Nothing major! I mean, normal Zachbots can withstand water and not short circuit lol so nothing that is DEADLY - just like. "Oh I forgot you have super strength" kinds of things

Random thoughts:

- No way she doesn't love Warrior Cats. I've never read it, know nothing about it, but she'd be roleplaying as a cat in a clan. Forcing anyone she can into it lol, with use of the Creature Power Suits or not

- ON THAT TOPIC, she would probably be fascinated with the CPS. No idea if she has the ability to use them or not. Can Zachbots use them? Who knows!

- She probably doesn't interact/mesh well with human children- Typical autism archetype, but I feel as though kids would recognize immediately that she's different. Maybe not BULLY HER, that's a bit much, but some sort of weird looks or treading lightly around her.

- She's like a typical early 2010s "weird emo kid". Maybe she uses site like MySpace? Is she allowed online? Probably not! Uh knowing yknow, the unlimited knowledge that could be horribly dangerous for a child let alone an android to have access to

Okay I have run out of thoughts FOR NOW..... If any of you have any ideas on what her name should be don't be afraid to share!! I have no idea what to do in that area lol. All that I know is that Aviva would insist that she'd have the last name Varmitech. (Off topic but as mentioned previously regarding 'I don't think these fellows would have a real child!' I also don't really think they'd get married, but that is subject to change if I think about it too much lol)

I love freckles!! (It’s probably because I have a ton lol) but I think they make people look so good 🫶🫶

María: Don't worry too much, I feel that your freckles make you unique, more than you already are

Chris: Thank you and...I'm sorry for acting like an idiot earlier *kisses him on the forehead* and I like your marks, they look like butterfly wings

María: aww thank you honey

I have a headcanon in which Chris never lost the freckles he had as a child and as a child older than him he took advantage of this to make fun of them, he rejected them for a long time and covered them with foundation, the same with María, until She discovered that little secret and although at first Chris felt somewhat attacked, in the end Maria revealed her other secret and Chris apologized, forming this link scene ^^

I wear that name with honor

Special thanks to the wonderful @espresso-ships for crafting yet another excellent selfship game! Check out their blog for this template and so many more! Violet art credit goes to @/ranfordgallus.

This one was fun to do because it really hit some high points in their relationship, like these things have actually happened in my Wild Violet AU! Violet was in a talent show, Violet periodically must stay calm in emergencies, and Zach does forget to text back, 😂!
