Martin Kratt - Blog Posts

now im just imagining Chris pouting and clinging onto Martin while sitting in his lap, and Martin's just patting his head 'n stuff while looking up at Chris's mom with a polite lil smile like "this is fine"

if she wasn't won over at first it would not take long

Definitely. Martin would try to talk sense into him, but there was no consoling him. He wouldn't stand for being separated from his best friend.

love imagining Jimmy getting mad at the audacity of Martin's parents abandoning him and hunting them down. angy fae protect chickadee and is offended in his honor.

Fae Jimmy: *patting Martin's head like one slaps the roof of a car* This boy can fit so much trauma in him!

Jimmy would think about it, then be happy because if they hadn't abandoned him, he wouldn't get his precious chickadee all to himself if they ever came back, though it would be ON SIGHT.

Do you think Chris's mom will like Martin if/when they meet? Like is she just gonna decide she has another child because this boy makes her son happy? (I imagine that if she tried to say no Chris would either do puppy dog eyes, throw a hissy fit, or both lmao)

Oh, absolutely, Martin's a sweetheart goofball. Who doesn't like Martin??

If she did say no though the meltdown from Chris would be NUCLEAR like: "What do you mean I can't hang out with my big brother anymore?????" "He's my emotional support human!" "Well, if you don't like him, I'm running away. And I'm taking Martin." But with a lot more tears and shouting before ultimately demanding Martin to hold him and refusing to leave his arms for any reason till she accepts him.

Martin just sits there with an exasperated sigh and a tired smile.

If you can avoid spoiling too much by explaining, how did each of the crew become orphans?

Don't worry no spoilers here!

Chris's dad was just never in the picture but his mom is alive!

Martin was abandoned as a baby.

Koki's mother was a doctor and her dad was a blacksmith and they both caught some sort of mystery disease that they died from when she was 3-4

Aviva's parents were sailors but their ship was hit by a massive storm of which she was the only survivor as a baby and she washed up on shore in her little basket and was brought to the village.

Jimmy's a fae. They can be born but sometimes they do just kinda sprout out of the ground. Jimmy's a ground case. He popped out of the ground and a random fae scooped him up. He doesn't have a single set of parents since for his situation everyone parents the child so he'll call any familiar fae his auntie, uncle, or cousin.

Martin forcing Chris to take a bath and Chris absolutely hating it, only to realize "hey, this feels kinda nice" but will never admit it. Ever. If anyone else tries to clean him he'll claw them, but with Martin he just kinda freezes. Like when a cat is so stunned at being picked up they can't react.

Just like a cat he only likes water when it's his choice to get in it. If you've ever read "Bad kitty gets a bath" That's Chris. The first bath Martin was the owner literally trying EVERYTHING to get him in the water. Afterwards, Chris is much more willing to get in the bath since he likes his head being scratched and the feeling of fingers in his hair. He also just trusts Martin a lot since bathing is naturally a very vulnerable thing and usually you gotta trust someone to watch for predators while you clean up.

Just imagining fae Jimmy in a little nest with the whole crew when they were little toddlers and he's just looking at them all with such adoration. He's just cooing and preening them. And if anyone asks them who their parents were they're just like "birb :D"

When he was "younger" (by the villages terms) he was more free with his bird form. Koki was adorable she'd accidentally pull a feather sometimes look at it in horror and then go "sorry sorry I'm so sorry!!" While trying to put it back. Jimmy would just laugh and hug his precious chickadee. They're all his chickadees.

He did stop using his true form after about a year, hence Aviva and Martin not knowing, since he didn't wanna risk himself getting in trouble and/or the orphans getting in trouble and being accused of being witches or something. Which if that happened he would in less than a heartbeat take them home with him but he'd prefer not to since he knows some of them wouldn't want to be there and doing that could be VERY dangerous to them and himself especially since he wouldn't have taken the time to ask each of them if they wanted to come.

Bonus: Occasionally he'd play with baby Chris when they crossed paths in the woods and Chris made it his goal to scare him whenever he saw him (lovingly)

a new guy moves to town and is like "hey, who're those kids?"

"Them? Well, the big one's Martin, and the feral child following him around despite insisting he doesn't like him is Chris. Don't try to talk to Martin, Chris gets jealous. The one that looks like she could break your arm with the flick of her finger is Koki. The other one's Aviva, she built a catapult and launched Zach into the woods once. And the guy perching on the roof that looks like all the secrets of the universe are hidden in his eyes and if you stare into them for too long your mind will unravel into madness is Jimmy. He's super chill."

Im so happy people are enjoying this au as much as I am this made me jump and squeal because SOMEONE GETS ITTTTTT and this is exactly how it goes. The guards HATE Jimmy. He's always, well everywhere. But they can never catch him or prove it's him or how he gets in to places he's not supposed to be in.

bird man jimmy slowly becoming my new very specific hyperfixation

also all i can imagine is him in his full fae form as that meme of that mom with her kids on leashes but it's him and the kids are Martin, Chris, Aviva, and Koki

YEP. Trust and believe he's grounded them all to the nest at least once.

What are all the ages for your wolfwalkers au? (for Jimmy ig it would be both the age he pretends to be and his real age?)

Jimmy pretends to be 18 but is really around 4,450 years old so pretty young by fae terms.

Martin is 16

Chris is 13

Koki is 17

Aviva is 16

And Zack is 15!

Bonus Chris's mom is like 90 but wolf walkers being similar to fae she looks early 40s at most.

Also also wolf walkers are not immortal like fae are but can get to around 500 years old give or take (this is not cannon to the real Wolf walkers lore or movie this is just for my au lol)

Fae Jimmy just collecting children. And when they're adults you know he's crying because "why not small anymore? why not stay tiny? where chickadees go?" sad squawking while the now grown up crew is just watching him in confusion.

Wouldn't it be so funny if he brought them with him to a fae event and when they came out it was the modern day? Wouldn't it be so funny if they suddenly woke up with more claws and feathers than they remembered having? Wouldn't it be so funny if because he was in charge of changlings he knows how to make them? Wouldn't it be funny if these now immortals built a giant turtle and just flew around saving the enviornment and animals knowing they'll never actually get hurt since, y'know, fae. Wouldn't it be?

Little Martin, Chris, Aviva, and Koki following big bird fae Jimmy around like little chicks. (Chris is just there because Martin is there. He refuses to participate otherwise.)

Like he's chill and disguises as a kid but I love imagining him getting pissed after they get hurt and he's like "How DARE you hurt MY humans!" and gets all big and monsterous.

and then the culprit mysteriously disappears while the kids get treats.

They get lost in the woods and he's just like "alright little chickadees this way!" And just hops along the path as birds do and they happily follow they get close to a village and someone shoots at him and suddenly a tree falls on them! How mysterious. He buys them cake afterwards.

I feel like if Martin saw Jimmy's true form he wouldn't freak out. well maybe a little. but he'd just immediately try to figure out what bird he is and probably just freak out because his friend is a cool fae!

And Jimmy is just there like: ...Well, at least there's one pure human in this world.

Yeah pretty much. When he showed Koki she was like "Cool anygays have you seen Aviva lately-"

Wolfwalker Chris when he first meets Martin: Who is this big dumb idiot?

Wolfwalker Chris later on: THIS IS MY BIG DUMB IDIOT, GET YOUR OWN!

He quite literally gets feral about it I can't wait to show off my movie rewrite I'm working on it now!

Wolfwalker Martin about Chris: I've known Chris for less than a day. He's bitten me, cussed me out, and in general been a very disruptive child who acts like he does not like me.

Also Martin: New little brother :D

EXACTLY. See this person gets it! 😂

NEXT CHAPTER DROPPING SOON

From my avatar x wild Kratts fic lol it drops today I just need to get home to my PC to post it

Just saw your wolfwalkers x wild kratts au, got anymore ideas for it?

I do actually!

In the movie it takes place in a little Irish town where the British have invaded and built massive stone walls around it and are tearing down the forests that used to surround it. The guy in charge is a religious man called The Lord Protector who believes the God from the Bible wants him to destroy everything wild so they can claim it as there own for Gods glory.

My au version is Zach is the son of the Lord Protector and obviously an inventor who deeply envies Aviva cause the OG town people ADORE Koki and Aviva. They actually built them their own little repair shop and blacksmithing shop but both were later taken from them by British soldiers under Zach's orders.

Koki's very buff. (But that's my all around head cannon lol) Especially cause of her black smithing. She has some minor scars all up her arms from her work but she proudly shows them off. She's one of the best black smiths out there and everyone knows it. People were so mad about Zach shutting down her and Aviva's shops they almost rioted but they both calmed everyone down and told them it wasn't worth anyone getting hurt over but Koki's secretly very salty about it and spits on the ground any time she hears Zach's name or thinks about him. She also dabbles in architecture and has some decent medical knowledge from her mother who was a doctor before she died. Once she lost her job she started helping the farmers with their sheep and selling medicinal herbs for super cheap. Zach once tried to claim she was a witch but people got so angry he had to publicly apologize less they stormed the castle.

Jimmy's weird. He's nice and all, laid back but always willing to help, quite jumpy but he's SUPER into his job. He seems to know where things are before they've even been discovered. Martin once caught him drawing up a map for an area they'd never been too and when they went there a few days later it was completely accurate. Jimmy claimed he'd been there a few days before but Martin has his suspicions. He sometimes jokes the forest tells him things but the WK crew gets the feeling it might not be a joke. Before the walls were built Jimmy would sometimes go off into the woods for the night or even a few days here and there but he always came back, and usually with a sweet treat! Once Aviva saw him sleeping in the middle of the woods and shook him awake and swears on her life when he opened his eyes she could see the sky in them before they turned back to their normal blueish green. K̶o̶k̶i̶ k̶n̶o̶w̶s̶. But no one bugs him too much about it because he really is just a chill guy and him being a little funky pays off since he somehow ALWAYS knows where to find whatever herb or mushroom or other plant they may want. There's been a few times he's basically begged them never to enter a certain area of the woods and they follow his rules religiously and without question. He REALLY doesn't like Zach. He always just uses the reasons everyone else has for not liking the guy but there's something in his eyes. In his blank stare at the guy. Like he's waiting for his dues to catch up with him. Like he knows they will.

Aviva. Our icon. She's always creating little toys and trinkets. She's an AMAZING wood carver. She taught herself everything she knows. She and Koki love to bounce ideas off each other and work together to build things. She actually tried to be Zach's friend when he first showed up but he was too bitter and jealous. She doesn't believe in anything. No ghosts no spirits no fae no Selkies nada. Science can explain everything and she can't be convinced otherwise. Till she sees it for herself 🤫. She hates what the British are doing but doesn't want anyone to get hurt. She's the older sister of the group while Koki's the mom because while Aviva has more common sense than the boys she disregards it easily in the name of curiosity and who's gonna stop me?

Martin creates the first ever child leash for Chris

MY SHAYLAAASSS 😭✨

Wild kratts x Wolf walker au

For context a wolf walker is similar to a werewolf except they look completely human till they fall asleep and their soul basically leaves their body and becomes a wolf but they can go back into their body whenever they want but they have to be near it, as in right in front of it. They can transform normal people by biting them, talk/communicate with normal wolves and a little with other animals ((but not in the "oh they're actually talking" kind of way in the mutual understanding kind of way)), they can see scent trails, and heal injuries.

So uh just spit balling here but,

Martins an orphan in this au (he and Chris aren't biologically related in this but we all know they're tied together by soul 😌) along with Koki Aviva and Jimmy and they all work together to provide for themselves and everyone else in their little dirty orphanage.

Martin does lots of things but usually gathers herbs and mushrooms (and consistently brings back injured animals that they all nurse back to health before returning them to the woods)

Jimmy is a cartographer which helps them all get out of the village without many problems

Aviva's an inventor and Koki's a blacksmith, a skill she got from one of her parents before they died 🤷, but they're both belittled and looked down upon because they're women and this takes place in ye olden days.

Chris is a wolf walker and his mom is/has been asleep for awhile cause her wolf self mysteriously hasn't returned. (For context look up the movie or watch it on daily motion!) He's of course a sassy little wild child with little to no concept of danger and while he enjoys the company of the wolves he gets cripplingly lonely.

Chris and Martin meet when Martin finds a wolf caught in a trap. It's dark brown with green eyes and snarling mad at him. Luckily Martin has no sense of danger either and pretty much jump scares the poor thing but jumping on it and wrapping his coat around it's head before prying off the trap and clambering up a tree to avoid losing a limb. It shakes off the coat and takes off. Martins happy with this outcome. A few days later however he gets caught in a rope trap. He's thinking "Dang this sucks 😑" when that same wolf shows up. Martin loves animals but he has enough common sense to realize this situation is not ideal. Especially when it starts jumping and snapping at him. He flails trying to get himself free and it bites him on accident and he accidentally kicks it. It jumps away with a whine before falling back and with one big jump manges to snap the rope and set him free. They're at a stand still for a moment before it runs away and Martin retreats back to the confines of the medieval town.

Imagine his shock when he wakes up in the middle of the night to a little boy howling over him, gold circling his arm. They stare at each other. The boy just looks wild in nature. Sticks and leaves in his hair, Martin's pretty sure there's some pebbles in there too. His hands and feet are dark brown, tough and calloused. His nails are sharp to match his canines, even in human shape he looks like a wolf. Martin isn't sure what to say so he looks at his healed arm and simply says thank you for healing his bite. The boy simply frowns and snarkily tells him to stay out of the woods if he doesn't like being bit and leaves. Of course he goes back to the woods the very next day and the boy is waiting for him.

I'll do a whole movie rewrite if anyone's interested 🤷

My edit:

Hear me out: Green tree frog Chris and Zaire dwarf clawed frog for Martin (They look blue to me and are almost entirely aquatic!)

Kratt Brothers if they were Frogs in Amphibia

I have been hyperfixating on this crossover for DAYS NOW. Like imagining what if they were in episodes in Season 2 and 3.

Frog!bros are field researchers working for Newtopia. They have a lil research station (maybe somewhere on outskirts of Frog Valley) but travel regularly among the continent. They do the same thing the Kratts in the cartoon do, study creatures by getting up close and personal to discover their creature power- what makes them special and valuable to Amphibia’s ecosystems. Even the most dangerous, feared creatures, which the brothers are determined to show other amphibians why these creatures should be appreciated more.

On top of that, they do population surveys, discover new findings, behaviours and relationships between animals, and write up reports that are sent back to Newtopia.

They have significantly less of the cool tech they do in the show due to no Aviva (no creature powersuits), but have developed decent inventing skills themselves (better than the ones canonically do in the show, no where near Aviva-level) and are exceptional adventurers in general.

I imagine the first human the Frog bros would’ve met is Marcy and would’ve got along SUPER WELL WITH HER. Maybe Marcy was sent to deliver some equipment to the brother’s research station. Then they would’ve met Anne and maybe even Sasha through Marcy later on. Though preferably in two seperate episodes

These are just the colours I have available now, but I would adjust the colours to be a lil less saturated and lighter if I did this digitally. Also, I’d probably give them different clothing too more in style with Amphibia, instead of just using their outfits from the show.

Sketch versions:

Another wild kratts head Martin knocks people over by hugging them. The only person who doesn't fall is Chris because one he's used to it and two Martin knows you have to be careful with babies/j

Wild Kratts headcanon: Chris almost drank a lethal dose of caffeine once and would've drunk over that amount had Martin not confiscated the coffee machine till Chris passed out

Wild Kratts x Avatar the last airbender heights in my story!

I couldn't find a good icon for Koki 😮‍💨 Cannon wise Martin just hit his growth spurt early and is now a tree 😂 (Martin is 16 Chris is 13 Koki is 17 Aviva is 19 and Jimmy is 16)

Just finished chapter four! It’s pretty long but lots of fluff! Sorry it took so long I was criplingly sick for three weeks then got busy with school :,D

Would it be bad if I made fanart of Chris and Martin playing Ampe (An African orginating game to my knowledge) in the context of my fanfic? I don't know if that would be cultural appropriation or anything and don't want anyone to get mad if I posted it/made it.
