Posted this already as a reblog post, but gonna post it as it’s own post as well:

Here’s the sketch I’ve been working on! Aviva dragging Zach to their next class in high school!

I like to imagine that Zach and Aviva were originally friendly rivals as kids in science camp and that they ended up going to the same high school after staying in touch as pen pals since their summer camp days. Their friendship picked up right where it left off, the two sharing a passion for science and bioengineering, however Zach began developing a crush on Aviva since she was the first person that was genuinely nice to him.

Aviva’s teenage design is based around her outfit and hairstyle as a child and her outfit and hairstyle as an adult. Similar for Zach, although I based his design more off of his outfit and hair as a child as I think the form fitting clothes and hair gel would have come into play when he started Varmitech Industries.

I love to imagine backstory for the crew and the villains! I’ve had some ideas recently about doing some “Wild Kratts: The College Days” drawings or fics, mostly of Aviva, Koki, Jimmy, and Zach, as I feel like they all went to the same college together. It would definitely be a fun concept to explore!

Let me know if you guys would be interested in seeing posts from me about the Kratts crew as teenagers!

I love this man and his Loony Tunes antics!

From his spring traps conveniently located exactly where the brothers are standing in his plane

to the fact that he can defy gravity to pull off a cartoony scared run

this episode is full of fun Loony Tunes logic for Zach and I love it!

Apparently Zach Can Defy Gravity….

Well….At least when scary Gila monsters are involved.

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ stars for youuuu yipeeee

Aww, thank you! You’re so sweet! 🥰

❤️❤️❤️

I present to you… Zach Varmitech

I do agree that villains dont hit as much lately for me imo

Not loving the poor misled situational monster archetype

A villain should be corny and self-aware and sexy and cackling and scheming to dominate everything in their path for selfish and funny reasons

idk if this is controversial or not, but I really like when non-professional writing like fic has hints of author bleedthrough when it comes to like, what different people assume is common knowledge. Like sometimes I’ll be reading a fic and it’ll just be obvious that the person writing it is either obsessed with medicine or has been to medical school, because they’ll use terms that are just a shade too technical without explaining them. It’s never the super specific stuff that they’d know other people are unaware of, it’s always the things that once you’ve known it for a while you forget it’s niche knowledge. It’s fun because as a fanfic reader it reminds me of how this is a fun hobby community, where everyone has their own thing going on outside of fandom. Everyone’s got their own specialties and they can’t help but write that into their work sometimes

Young(er) Zach Headcanon?

Why do I have a feeling that when Zach Varmitech was younger (like late teens to early twenties) he was a vibrant, healthy, and very attractive looking young man?

Like I imagine he had healthy undertones to his skin, he had a bit more weight on his body, he did not have bags and dark circles under his eyes, and his face was clean shaven. He just had a youthful vibe to him, and I feel like he might have smiled a lot more back then, genuine smiles, you know? And those smiles also aided in amping up his “attractiveness.”

Not that he isn’t attractive now (okay y’all might not agree, but that’s my personal opinion, I think the man is a walking masterpiece), but I just think the path Zach took in life and the choices he made degraded his health and made him look older than he actually is. I don’t know if that makes sense, but I plan to expand on this thought in another post soon!

I think he looked a lot like that, just with fluffy, less tamed hair, no goatee, and his skin tone was a bit darker, he also likely still had his freckles.
