Some Daphne And Vallen Kisses For You 🥰🥰🥰!!!

I love her!!!

Finally made my own wk oc!!! @ranfordgallus inspired me to make it!

She is Nova, the one who helps the Kratt brothers to get them followers by posting and writing about their adventures. Also, she can see the villians location, and the Kratt brothers location too. (Fun fact, she lives in the same city as Zach, and she likes to spy on him)

Birthday Gift

(Another bit of self indulgence? It's more likely than you think.)

Nia: Hey, Chris, I- umm- made you something for your birthday.

Chris: Awesome! Let me see it!

Nia: *Sheepishly holds out a green, handmade braided bracelet.*

Nia: I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Chris: Why are you apologizing?

Nia: Because it's stupid. I just don't have the skills or materials to make anything extravagant. I know it's dumb. But it's...it's really all I can make.

Chris: I love it!

Nia: Really! Are you sure?

Chris: I'm positive.

Nia: That's great! You still don't have to wear it if you don't want to, though.

Chris: Nope, it's mine. I'm never taking it off.

Nia: But-

Chris: No buts.

Nia: Okay, if you're sure. I'm really glad you like it. Happy birthday!

Nia: *Leaves the room.*

Chris: *Looking fondly at the bracelet.* I'm never taking this off. Ever.

Chris: Okay, Donita, I’m not scared of you.

Donita: That’s alright. Zach!

Zach, approaching her side: Hello, Chris.

Chris: I’m not scared of you, either.

Gormond, appearing behind him: Hello, Chris...

Chris: Okay, YOU I’m scared of.

Daphne: So wait How did your parents got divorced

Trin: my dad cheated on my mom

Henry:

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)

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 )

Disappointment

I hope you guys enjoy, under the cut due to length

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.

Okay so my English class just finished Macbeth in class and I cant stop thinking about the parallels to Wild Kratts. (the Zach/Macbeth parallels are pretty close) Is this something you guys would be intrested in?

what is each Varmitech’s coffee/drink order?

Thank you so much for this ask! I know it took a while to get to but I hope you enjoy reading about the Varmitech Crew’s favorite drinks! I wrote descriptions for everyone’s favorite drinks “in character,” which was very fun.

This ask also helped me figure out that 2 of the kiddos have food allergies, so thank you for adding to my world building process 😊! See answers below the cut!

Zach: Anything black and with extra caffeine….My preferred drink order is Black Eye Coffee, just listen to the name! It’s perfect! It has black coffee and two shots of espresso, the perfect combination for a busy businessman, inventor, and family man such as myself. I do add quite a bit of sugar to the mix, though. I like it black, but I can’t deny my sweet tooth.

Violet: As someone with overactive bladder, I can’t really enjoy drinks. Anything but water or blueberry juice and I’m in misery 😭. But, if I am adventurous and decide to get a drink (rare), I am going for McDonald’s Mango & Pineapple Smoothie. I cannot drink anything with caffeine due to my medical conditions, and I dislike caffeine drinks anyway, so this is the perfect compromise, as I LOVE fruit and cold drinks!

(Image Link/Drink Description)

Varina: Ohhhhh, so many good choices, but I’ll have to say my favorite drink is Caffé Mocha! I just love the combination of the coffee and chocolate/mocha flavor! It’s like an ultra caffeinated hot chocolate to me 😋. I’m not a huge coffee fan, but this combination makes it manageable, and it just tastes delicious! I prefer to make it at home because I can add even more chocolate to it in a dusting on top of the cream!

(Imagine Link/Drink Description)

Vera: I do not enjoy the taste of coffee by itself, so I prefer to have coffee drinks that are so full of sugar and sweet flavors that the coffee taste is virtually unrecognizable, or it is at least masked in such a way that it’s palatable. I personally prefer cold coffee drinks and my favorite is the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino from Starbucks. I adore the caramel flavor, drizzle, and the crunchy topping. It seems more like a milkshake than coffee, which I love!

Victor: Red Eye Coffee. Dad, much to mom’s horror, had Vallen and me taking sips of his coffee as far back as we can remember. That was exactly what grandpa Tyler did with her so she was sure it would scar us for life like it had her. It didn’t for me, I grew up to crave strong, black coffee. But, I don’t like it as strong as dad, so I prefer the Red Eye Coffee with only one shot of espresso as opposed to two shots like Black Eye Coffee. Unlike dad, I cannot stand any sugar in my coffee, I want it black and unsweetened…as the coffee beans intended.

(Imagine Link/Drink Description)

Vallen: Welp I am the Varmitech with the peanut allergy, so I’m honestly too paranoid to order coffee, drinks, or food out. I am the person that makes my coffee at home, or I’ll have a Zachbot to prepare it for me, so I can ensure I don’t have to make an impromptu visit to the ER. Dad, Varina, and Vera taught me the art of at home coffee making, and my taste for coffee fell somewhere in between their preferred beverages. I am still traumatized by black coffee from when Dad gave it to me and Victor, but I like it sweet like him, and I like it flavorful like Varina and Vera, and iced/cold like Vera…so, I prefer flavored Iced Coffee. My personal favorite is Coconut Iced Coffee. I am checking the labels for each ingredient like a hawk, but I enjoy the cold coffee and sweet coconut flavor combo.

Victoria: Guess who inherited mom’s overactive bladder and can’t enjoy drinks…me! It’s all for the best though because, like mom, I also find most drinks unpalatable. Add in my dairy sensitivity and that cuts out A LOT of options. But, if I am going to try and enjoy a drink, I will usually have the Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino from Starbucks. It HAS to be a nondairy version, but I really enjoy the vanilla flavor and little bits of vanilla beans!

Zach and Donita

Donita Donata didn’t need anybody’s help, especially not some annoying tech billionaire who probably never worked hard at anything, she just happened to meet. So why couldn’t she stop thinking about the conversation they had the night before? He seemed genuinely interested in her designs and introduced her to some of his clients, meaning for the first time since she moved to America, she had clients. Donita was still grappling with her opinion on Zach, when she walks into her cheap apartment and sees none other than Zachary Varmitech himself and about 5 Zach-bots, milling around. Zach somehow managed to convince her to accept a loan from him to start her empire, in exchange for her help in defeating the ‘Wild Ratts’, two brothers Donita had occasionally seen on the news. Donita reluctantly agreed and the two got to work.

Over the years, Zach and Donita became closer and closer, with Donita and Zach viewing themselves as business partners and very close friends. Donita was there for all of Zach’s biggest achievements. She had designed and sew Violet’s wedding dress, handmade clothing for Zach’s children, and was always there to listen to Zach, even when he was whining to her. Therefore, Zach couldn’t understand why he was seeing a picture of Donita and Henry, a man he is convinced won’t last and isn’t good for her, outside a courthouse in Vegas. He was always the impulsive one with Donita and Violet talking him out of his craziest schemes, and now he’s finding out that his sister friend and business partner got eloped in Vegas without even telling him, talk about hypocritical. He was shocked, hurt and wondered about why they were moving so quickly. 

Once Zach found out about Daphne, he understood why they got married so quickly, but was still upset he missed their wedding. Once Daphne was born, Zach and Violet were quickly enamored with her, insisting on buying way too many toys for her. But Zach never was able to warm up to Henry, even at his wife’s insistence to at least pretend to like him. When Donita’s marriage began to fall apart, Zach tried to get her to ask for a divorce everytime he saw her, much to Donita’s horror and annoyance. Right when Zach decided to give up, Donita told him she was going to get divorced, and asked him for a good lawyer. 

Zach knew that Donita deserved and still deserves better than Henry. He wants her to find a love like he has with Violet, but is content with her being happy and single alone. He is eternally grateful to Donita for all she has done for him, and the bond she has established with his children, something that makes his heart swell. All he ever wanted was for her to be happy and if that was being single, he was fine with that. Besides, Donita Donata didn’t need anybody’s help.
