Wild Kratts Zach - Tumblr Posts

Yes! Preach, JIG! 👏👏👏

Very well said! If I may, I’d love to add my thoughts to this as a 23 year old who self ships with the world renowned mega genius robotics inventor.

Creative Genius’ Response:

I went through my high school years keeping my crush on Zach a secret from most everyone. I loved his character and he was such a comfort to me, but I felt a sort of shame around it, like others would judge me harshly for still liking a kids show as a teenager.

High school was definitely an emotional struggle in finding myself, but now I see my love for Zach in a whole new light. Cartoon crushes and comfort characters are so much more accepted today than I ever thought they would be, so I’m very grateful that all these years after I first fell for Zach I was able to come back into the fandom and feel a sense of pride about my cartoon crush. I no longer feel shame about liking a kids show because, guess what? I’m allowed to like whatever I wanna like and I’m allowed to feel comfortable and happy because of certain characters!

Nowadays, my family and my best friend know about my cartoon crush and they’re cool with it. Everyone needs to find comfort in something, and I just happened to find it in the world of fiction. And I don’t regret a thing. So thank you to my awkward teenage self for introducing me to my first and favourite comfort character and cartoon crush. And don’t worry, it definitely gets better. ❤️

Alessandra Swift’s Response:

Hey everyone! I just wanted to say that even though I haven’t shared my relationship with Zach with the whole crew yet, it doesn’t mean I love him any less. Things are just… complicated between the Wild Kratts and the villains, but I still love him so much. Sometimes the heart just wants what the heart wants, ya know? I’ve loved Zach for such a long time and I’m so glad that he wants me around now! Oh, gotta go! Aviva’s coming to check in on me! Thanks for letting me take up some space on your blog, Creative Genius! And please write some more Zach Varmitech x Alessandra Swift fanfic soon! 💜

isn't. isn't wild kratts a kids show. you're really out here, 26 whole ass years old, self shipping with a character from a Children's Cartoon. like you realize how sad that is, right?

Hi anon,

JIG’s Response:

As my blog states in my description my OC Violet is a form of a self ship. I think of it best as she’s a mirror version of myself, an alternate identity if you will. I state this clearly in my description so that if someone is uncomfortable by it they do not have to interact with me or my work.

While you may think this is sad, it is comforting for me. Zach’s a comfort character, and exploring his and Violet’s relationship, because yes, she is still separate from me, helps me to feel safe, happy, giddy, etc.

I have been obsessed with fictional characters and villains my whole life, Zach just happened to come into my life at a later time due to my job. After you watch a show so much it will grow on you, and Zach, well, I’m clinging to him like moss to a tree.

Violet’s Response:

While I appreciate your concern, I am quite happy with my Zachy, please respect that. And I know I am out there, but aren’t we all in some way!

Zach: Violet! Don’t call me that!

Violet: Sorry, hon!

Zach: Arrghhh, don’t call me that either!
