TW: Depression
I'm planning on making 1-2 more parts on this short internet series with a few other things sprinkled in, lmk what you want to know next
Daphne’s life was spinning out of control. She feels like a different person than she was before she had social media, but she couldn’t quit. Social media was the only thing that made her happy, but also made her depression and sadness that much worse. Daphne hadn’t left her room in days and hadn't talked to her family in weeks. She knew her family was worried about her, but she wasn’t willing to go out and face them. They would be so disappointed in her and how she is a loser who cares too much about what others think, at the detriment of her own health. She didn't deserve her family’s love anymore, and she isn’t sure they would even recognize her, she didn’t. She felt like a huge burden to them, especially her mom, who was extremely worried about her and was skipping out on things she loved to do to watch her. She needed to take a break from social media and learn some boundaries about what to post and who to deal with people on the internet, but she can’t. The internet and social media are her downfall and her salvation. It was an oxymoron, just like she was at that point. She never got out of bed but she never rested. She felt everything and nothing at the same time. She had changed so much to fit what the internet would want, and now no one is happy, especially not her. Her content was falling in quality and views, and she no longer found joy in what she was posting. She needed to do something, but she didn’t think she deserved to grow and nobody would want to or be able to help her in the way she so desperately needed.
Gourmand could tell something was off. Daphne had not spoken or reached out to him in weeks, the longest she had ever gone. Donita skipped their monthly dinner to ‘take care’ of Daphne, but she wasn’t sick or injured as far as he knew. It was because of that phone, he knew it. He knew it was a mistake for her to get it and wanted to just rip it out of her hands the moment it was in them. He didn’t know much about the internet or technology, he had no interest in it and didn’t want the government to know about where he was (I hc Gourmand as the biggest conspiracy theorist and believer ever) and social media had no appeal to him. He could see the obsession in Daphne and wanted to quell it. That kind of determination couldn’t be healthy, especially for something as useless as the internet. Daphne was throwing away her life for that phone, and dragging her mother down with her. He loved Daphne, but he needed to form some kind of way to drag her out of the depths of the comments and internet, and he needed to do it now. He would meet with all the important people in Daphne’s life tonight and figure out a plan of attack.
I love them so so much!
Family portrait commission for @jokerislandgirl32 of Violet, Zach, and their lovely children!
This piece was definitely a challenge because I’ve never drawn Wild Kratts kids before! I hope I did your little ones justice! The Violet Varm family is so sweet and gorgeous! I had a blast bringing them to life! I hope you love the piece as much as I loved making it for you!
Sending you the warmest birthday wishes today Chris! Thank you for all you have done to bring a love for the creature world and creature adventuring into the lives of so many people! Through your shows alongside Martin, you have created awareness and knowledge about animals and their habitats that will continue to be fostered in future generations for many years to come.
Your shows have been a refuge for so many people in times of hardship, and they have helped people, like myself, to overcome and even escape from such situations. Your work in the creature world is unsurpassed, please continue to do what you are doing, it is so needed and appreciated, just like you are.
TBH I was really hoping for an octopus (my name is based of it and I consider it my spirit animal) but I think this works too

do you have a color palette for daphne?
Thanks for the ask, anon!
She really loves yellows. Despite her mothers criticism of the color, she loves it and uses it to ‘stand out’ next to her mother. She also really loves daffodils, her favorite flower, and daisies and will try to include a reference to them in almost every outfit she wears. She’s not picky at all when it comes to clothes though and will wear pretty much anything. Aside from yellow, she loves blue and navy. But to answer your question, I don’t have a designated color palette yet, but I’m working on a mood board for her
Please please please write more!! (When you have time haha) We want to see your incredible ideas 💜💜💜💜
Just peaked at the Wild Kratts tag on A03, and the amount of k-cest I saw is…disturbing. My live reaction:
I have not been in the tag for so long except to read some works mutuals have posted and to post my own work, but I decided to go into the tags and…yeah….not pleasant. I am so scared to write and post, but seeing all of that…well, I can’t let it stand.
Even if my writing is crap I’m going to start posting more pieces to A03 again. Just to fill the tag with something that’s not k-cest. So, if anyone wants to poke and prod at me to get me writing again…Just bug me to write….I have so many stories that I just let sit because of my anxiety, but I’m not letting that happen anymore.
I’m working to fulfill previous writing requests in my ask box, but feel free to reach out about any you might have sent, and you can send new requests or prompts (see request rules linked below). Or, you can check out my A03 and let me know if there are any stories you’d like to see me update. Anon will be turned on tentatively.

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?
I’ve mentioned it before, but I headcanon that Donita may have been in a toxic relationship in the past, and my OC Violet was in a toxic relationship prior to Zach…I also kind of think this might have been a possibility for Paisley’s past too…So, I imagine karaoke night with the villain girls: Donita, Violet, Paisley, Yssa (the oc of the wonderful @lovelybakerandconstructionworker ) goes something like this:
All: All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Donita: Just an appendage, live to attend him
Paisley: So that he never lifts a finger
Violet: 24∕7, baby machine
Yssa: So he can live out his picket-fence dreams
Violet: It's not an act of love if you make her
All: You make me do too much labour
Dabio: They look really angry…
Rex: Don’t tell them that…it will just aggravate them more…
Gourmand: I’ve never heard Little Sugar sing like that…you better be glad you’re not her ex Zachy…
Zach: You don’t think I realize that? She’s terrifying once you get on her bad side….
i meant color palette character wise. hair color? skin color? etc. do you have a specific color in mind for those things?
it’s fun she has a yellow motif though!! i just want a designated color palette design wise :)
I see her skin and hair tones as being very close to these colors, and her eyes are dark amber color. The one thing though is that Daphne has tried so many hair styles, and used to regularly bleach her hair. She doesn’t do that as much anymore but depending on the time, her hair can be pretty much anything. Hope this is a little better explanation haha.
