Happy 59th Birthday to the wonderful Martin Kratt! Our favorite blue loving Kratt brother! Sending the warmest birthday wishes to you today! The work you and Chris have done to help the animals and ecosystems of our planet, and to educate young (and not so young 😆) creature adventures is insurmountable. You both truly are such an inspiration and blessing! May this birthday and many more be filled with the greatest creature adventures to come.
Uh yeah..HERE IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT!
I know! Such a sad concept 😭😭
Was talking to my therapist about codependency and had a thought.
Are the Kratt bros codependent? They literally do almost everything together. They constantly think about the other's well being and worry over the smallest of things. They're very rarely ever apart for more than a few hours at most, besides for a few specific episodes.
Could you imagine if something did happen to one or the other? (It won't because Wild Kratts is a kids show.) But just imagine how heartbroken the other brother would be.
Their other half was just taken from them. Cruel fate stole their brother. They would be gutted, broken, and so very lost. They wouldn't know what to do. Nothing would matter anymore. The thought of even doing the simplest of things would crush them because they wouldn't know how to do it alone. And the word "alone" would be the most bitter thing to have in their mouths and minds. The loneliness would be soul crushing, and everything would feel out of place at all times because the other brother just simply isn't there anymore.
Anyway, my day is going great! How are you doing today?
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.
He’s just like me fr

Donita is not sleazy 💯💯💯
What do you think of the others now that u r redeemed (for paisley!)
Paisley: Simple. I have a presentation for how I see them now compared to when I was a villain. *pulls up a fancy slideshow*
With Zach, I first saw my annoying cousin. Now, I still see my annoying cousin.
With Donita, I first saw a hot fashionista. Now, I just see sleazy femme fatale.
With Gourmand, I saw a low-budget Chef Boyarde. NOW, I SEE THAT HE NEEDS JESUS!
With Dabio, I saw a sweet but no brains version of Heman. I still see it.
With Rex, I saw my loyal righthand man. Now...I still see him, but...there's something I can't put my finger on.

María: *with a towel on Razo's head* you shouldn't play in the garden, you know that
Razo: I'm sorry Maria...*scolded*
María: well, nothing happens, go with Hasper and * watch the wolf leave * uff and that pumpkin was for lunch. Or well, I'll use it for compost
*Bell ring*
Maria: huh!? Did they arrive so early? *surprised* Hello, put the Husky mantle on the others.
Hello: yes, don't worry
María: agh and I still haven't finished preparing the food or setting up the table outside *goes to open the door* Chris *surprised* and the rest? *leans over to look outside and sees no one*
Chris: no, I'm alone, I wanted to come help you *scratches the back of his neck nervously*
María: ah, very good, he comes in * takes him by the hand and shows him in *
....
Zach: very good, this is the plan * with a ruler he points to a drawing that she made * we will kidnap the girl from Ureña so that the green boy can rescue her and they can fall in love with her and be happy
Donita: mh...and how are we going to kidnap her?
Gourmound: Yes, from what we saw, she has two dogs. As soon as they see what we are doing, they will alert her.
Zach: but they already saw us before, surely her simple minds will think that we are visiting friend, plus we could use Donita to convince her that she comes
Donita: and why me? I don't want to be surrounded by mud from the rain. Can't your wife go?
Zach: I don't want to involve her in this, Martin is very aggressive with these issues, and didn't you want to be her godmother? You have to get to know and become friends with the bride, right?
Donita: Yes, but I thought I would meet her when she was already here, what if Gourmound is better off with her dog? They are both dog owners, it could help.
Gourmound: I didn't bring it with me, although you could also use a Zachbot or two for this and they wouldn't even notice
Donita: I like that plan
Zach: ugh well, then... I'll send a Zachbot to catch the girl when they are distracted with something, then we make a call saying that we have her, Chris arrives, defeats us as always and rescues her, they fall in love and are happy, okay ?
*the two villains nod*
Zach: Perfect, let's get started!
....
Martin: Where is Chris?
Aviva: left early to go help Maria
Martin: ah... *serious* just when he had to talk to him about something
Aviva: they can do it later
Martin: *takes a deep breath* okay, I'll walk a little while, let me know when you're gone *leaves*
Aviva: and now what's wrong with him? *looks at Jimmy and Koki who shake their heads
Koki: maybe it's brother jealousy, it's very normal
Aviva: yes it can be...
Martin: ugh, I can't believe she meant let's go to that girl's house again *complaint* well, at least she'll serve as a tour guide I guess... huh? What is that sound ? *hides in the bushes and watches a Zachbot pass by* What is Zach planning? *decides to follow robot*
....
*Hallo and Kris looked at the humans from afar*
Pandy: everything okay?
Hallo without taking his eyes off them: why wouldn't he be?
Kris: Everything's fine honey, we're just watching.
Pandy: haha, she'll be fine, they don't have to be so upset, and human Chris seems to be a good boy.
Kris: Chris human?
Pandy: that's what we decided to name it, Razo thought it was a good idea
Hello: ah, thanks for asking us, it was a nice detail
Pandy: ...guys, I know it's difficult, this situation is complicated for me too.
Hello: well you don't look *annoyed*
Kris: we just want him to be happy but
Hello: it seems like yesterday when she was just a little girl....
Pandy: yes, I miss those moments too *starts looking too*
Chris: a question Maria, how did you meet them? *curious*
María: they only appeared, at first it was only Kris, then Hallo, Pandy, then Rojo and I was the only one who could see them, until Razo arrived and my mother was scared to see 5 wolves and one rotting in my room then they came rest. I was 7 years old at the time haha
Chris: Did they just show up? *turns to see them*
Pandy: *I smiled and wags my tail*
María: yes, then things happened... and we ended up living here
Chris: oh and did your parents take it well?
María:...*hangs her head* they thought it was sad but they said it was fine
Kris: Maria, I think I heard Hasper barking in the orchard.
Maria: In the garden! I have to go see! *it goes*
Chris: I'll help you *Hello, they stop him* eh?
Hello: calm down, human Chris, it was just a distribution
Kris: There are some things you need to know.
Chris: did I do something wrong?
Pandy: no, not at all dear, just there things you need to know
Kris: when María was little, she lost her parents because of bad people, luckily an older man took pity on us and together with his wife adopted her as his granddaughter, he was the one who let us live in this cabin, so better not touch that topic
Chris: oh I didn't know, I have to apologize to her *sorry*
Hallo: yes, you were an idiot, oh!
Pandy hit him: don't tell him like that, he couldn't know! *looks at him annoyed* don't pay attention to him, they're a little grumpy today
Chris: Don't worry.
Pandy: but if what you said worries you so much, the garden is in the back *winks at him*
Chris: Yes, thanks Pandy.
....
Maria: Hasper?, Hasper? Where are you lobitoOo *something grabs her from behind and lifts her* what is she!?
*sees a robot appear with an extended bag and they put it in it*
Maria: wait! What do you think they are doing!? Let me go!!!!! *kicking in the bag*
*the zachbots look at each other and then leave without anyone seeing them or so they thought*
Martin: oh...this is bad *decides to go after them* don't worry María, I'll help you!
Zachbot: *turns around*....
Martin: *in fighting pose* you better let go of the girl oh. No, wait! *the Zachbot takes it too and they leave*
Maria/Martin: this is not fair! Aid!
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 )
