Poor Jimmy Just Wants To Play Games

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)

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.

Daphne and The Haters

TW: Hate, past abuse (not explicit but implied), negative self-talk

A/N: I do not own Violet or any of her children, they all belong to @jokerislandgirl32, I tried my best to write from her POV but any mistakes on context/accuracies/characterization are entirely my own. Also, the names used from the haters are meant to be funny and are not reflecting of anyone with these usernames

Daphne’s life was perfect. She was finally happy. She had to be, her life was as good as it ever had been. It didn’t matter that her dad didn’t say goodbye before he moved in with his new girlfriend Allison, who she doesn’t think likes her very much, and lives in another state now. Who cared that all of her ‘friends’ don’t seem to include her in anything anymore and say things behind her back. She didn’t mind being alone all the time, she had her phone to keep her company. Her internet followers were never mean to her and always seemed to multiply every time she checked her social media pages. They loved Daphne and she had nothing to worry about. Her life was truly a daydream. This is what Daphne was thinking about when she opened her Instagram page to see what the most recent comment was.

@/ImATrollWhoBulliesKids thought she was annoying. Maybe Daphne was a little bit annoying and nobody told her. @/IHateSuccessfulPeople thought she was an ugly attention seeker. Hundreds of comments flooded Daphne, nitpicking her for everything. There were anonymous comments too, telling her how awful she was without ever revealing themselves. Maybe Daphne wasn’t as good as she thought. She really wasn’t good at anything. Daphne decided that she would change herself to be what she thought her perceived audience would want her to be, and changed who she was. It would make the world love her more, it was worth it. It was worth it and Daphne was happy. It was what she always dreamed of. She had to do something drastic, something no one could expect, something different. Then she would be happy and be able to finally be who she had always wanted to be. She would be perfect.

Violet Varmitech was worried about Daphne. She knew the power words could have on somebody and how they could affect them, especially at a young age. She was no stranger to criticism, working in The Lost Colony Outdoor Drama. Her ex boyfriend, Travis, further contributed, nothing she ever did was good enough for him. She began to spiral, going into a dark place, until she met Zach again. He was able to remind her of the amazing parts of the world, and taught her to love again. She loved him and her life more than she could imagine now. Violet worried that Daphne was spiraling headfirst into that dark place, and nothing anybody said would get her out of it. She loved Daphne since the day they met, with Daphne arriving four days later than Donita’s due date. “Fashionably late” as she said. She loved Daphne’s determination and tenacity, and how she can get so focused on a task, much like her husband. Violet even secretly ‘shipped’ Daphne with her youngest son, Vallen. She could tell Daphne was changing. She saw her spending less and less time with her family, and more and more on her phone, alone, reading comments. The comments could be a vile place, and Violet could only imagine the horrid things people were saying about Daphne, someone so kind and determined, and what she was absorbing. She knew she had to figure out a way to teach her about the internet more and fast.

I wear that name with honor

Tagging @bahbahhh @hyylia @onewingedsparrow @daemosdaen and anyone else who creates playlists for their work!

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?

Happy Halloween everyone! I have a few posts scheduled for this weekend in honor of celebrating it 😈😈

Daphne and the Wild Kratts Team

I am indeed alive!! I’ve been working on this for a while, but life has been crazy recently.

Daphne and the WK Team

Chris: Daphne likes Chris. He struggles to relate to her at times because he’s outdoors, literally touching grass. Whenever he needs help with the internet, he’ll call her over, knowing she’s good at that stuff. He watches her grow up in many ways, and is close with her, but sometimes he questions her mother’s intentions. He isn’t wholly convinced that Donita completely reformed, but he is willing to try to get over it, due to lack of evidence that she is back to her villainy ways. 

Martin: Daphne has always had an interesting relationship with Martin. Her mom was around him a lot, but she didn’t know very much about him. He was around enough for it to be suspicious, but not enough for Daphne to confront Martin or Donita about it.  Their relationship is their business and Daphne tries to just focus on her own relationship with him. He’s genuinely a very nice person, and while Daphne doesn’t talk to him without her mother around very often, he seems to be a like minded person to her. 

Aviva: Daphne loves Aviva. She’s probably the closest to Daphne of the WK team and they often chat to each other in Spanish. Aviva really cares about Daphne, but at times, especially when grades are involved, oversteps and tries to parent Daphne and force her to be better. She doesn’t think Daphne is trying hard enough in school, and doesn’t realize that math and science don’t come as easily to Daphne as they do to her. Despite all this, Daphne spends lots of time with Aviva and sends her some of her mothers finished products she thinks she’ll like.

Koki: Daphne didn’t get along very well with Koki in the beginning. They clashed a lot about the internet, since they both are on it and are prominent figures on it. Koki is against influencers in general, viewing them as scammers and not productive in society, and this bias bled into her relationship with Daphne. Daphne being Donita’s daughter didn’t help either. Koki is still semi convinced that the new being good act is just an act and Donita is waiting for them to let their guard down. As Daphne got more mature, she started talking to Koki more and told her more about her career on the internet and how not every influencer is the same. They eventually became closer, but still aren’t completely friends, with Daphne feeling hurt about what Koki said and Koki is still suspicious of Daphne.

Jimmy: Daphne rarely if ever interacts with Jimmy. She respects what he does but they just don’t have much in common. They follow each other on social media and like each other’s posts but their interactions don’t often go beyond a like and potential short comment. When they meet in person, they are both very awkward, preferring to interact with the safety of their screen in front of them. Daphne and Jimmy are both fine with this relationship, but people around them are pushing them to become closer due to their positive interactions.

Happy Birthday, Martin Kratt 🎊🎁🎉 !

Happy 59th Birthday to the wonderful Martin Kratt! Our favorite blue loving Kratt brother! Sending the warmest birthday wishes to you today!
