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.
God, I can't believe I've done this. And I'm not going to stop! Haha!
Credit the idea for this comic to @trivial-wild-kratts lol
I hope this looks decent. These goobers are so odd to draw sometimes, lolz. :))
fae jimmy doing that little roll that birds do.
that's it. that's all.
Cannon.
Chris's mom and Jimmy having split custody of Martin
Chris's mom definitely leaves the parenting to Jimmy for the most part. Like she still steps in, but she doesn't trample either, which Jimmy highly appreciates.
How would Jimmy introduce each of his kids to the other fae. like
"That's Chris. He's a wolf half the time and he has rabies and hates everyone. He will bite you. And that's Martin. He loves everyone and is the only one Chris likes. But he will also bite you."
Chris doesn't hate everyone; he's just never been around people. At the start? Yep he's growling at everyone like an animal. But once he gets used to it he's much more well behaved. It did take a little pressure from Martin to get there, though.
Jimmy would do it like this I think:
"This is Martin hes my tough water guy he's a little silly but he's got heart! He also keeps everyone together. If you hurt an animal he will beat you up."
"This is Chris Martin's leach, I'm just kidding! But they are inseparable. Chris will growl at you if he thinks you look mean and he will bite if you try to touch him. A wolfwalker through and through! He also has a sharp tongue and will shatter your self-esteem if provoked."
"This is Koki she's strong enough to throw you through a wall! And smart enough to build a church balanced on your body."
"This is Aviva she can do math and probably solve any problem you present her with."
Something like that y'know?
love imagining Jimmy getting mad at the audacity of Martin's parents abandoning him and hunting them down. angy fae protect chickadee and is offended in his honor.
Fae Jimmy: *patting Martin's head like one slaps the roof of a car* This boy can fit so much trauma in him!
Jimmy would think about it, then be happy because if they hadn't abandoned him, he wouldn't get his precious chickadee all to himself if they ever came back, though it would be ON SIGHT.
love imagining Jimmy being able to make his fae form absolutely giant and monsterous, and you'd think it's to fight monsters, right?
nah it's because he needs there to be enough of him for all the kids to cuddle with
I imagine it kinda looks like Eda from the owl house's monster form. It absolutely is only for cuddles. He's so soft.
imagining the wolfwalker gang in that one my neighbor totoro picture with fae Jimmy as totoro using his wing as an umbrella for them all
Yes.
If you can avoid spoiling too much by explaining, how did each of the crew become orphans?
Don't worry no spoilers here!
Chris's dad was just never in the picture but his mom is alive!
Martin was abandoned as a baby.
Koki's mother was a doctor and her dad was a blacksmith and they both caught some sort of mystery disease that they died from when she was 3-4
Aviva's parents were sailors but their ship was hit by a massive storm of which she was the only survivor as a baby and she washed up on shore in her little basket and was brought to the village.
Jimmy's a fae. They can be born but sometimes they do just kinda sprout out of the ground. Jimmy's a ground case. He popped out of the ground and a random fae scooped him up. He doesn't have a single set of parents since for his situation everyone parents the child so he'll call any familiar fae his auntie, uncle, or cousin.
Someone about the wolfwalker kids: "But you aren't their parent"
Fae Jimmy: *offended squawking while turning them into a gerbil*
Jimmy: *sweetest most sincere voice ever* Really?? Do you know where their actual parents are? That would be very useful since they've all been orphans for years. No? Can't you call them? Oh right they're dead or deadbeats. They're mine now. C'mon chickadees! *walks away with his tiny army while they turn into a tree*
Just imagining fae Jimmy in a little nest with the whole crew when they were little toddlers and he's just looking at them all with such adoration. He's just cooing and preening them. And if anyone asks them who their parents were they're just like "birb :D"
When he was "younger" (by the villages terms) he was more free with his bird form. Koki was adorable she'd accidentally pull a feather sometimes look at it in horror and then go "sorry sorry I'm so sorry!!" While trying to put it back. Jimmy would just laugh and hug his precious chickadee. They're all his chickadees.
He did stop using his true form after about a year, hence Aviva and Martin not knowing, since he didn't wanna risk himself getting in trouble and/or the orphans getting in trouble and being accused of being witches or something. Which if that happened he would in less than a heartbeat take them home with him but he'd prefer not to since he knows some of them wouldn't want to be there and doing that could be VERY dangerous to them and himself especially since he wouldn't have taken the time to ask each of them if they wanted to come.
Bonus: Occasionally he'd play with baby Chris when they crossed paths in the woods and Chris made it his goal to scare him whenever he saw him (lovingly)
a new guy moves to town and is like "hey, who're those kids?"
"Them? Well, the big one's Martin, and the feral child following him around despite insisting he doesn't like him is Chris. Don't try to talk to Martin, Chris gets jealous. The one that looks like she could break your arm with the flick of her finger is Koki. The other one's Aviva, she built a catapult and launched Zach into the woods once. And the guy perching on the roof that looks like all the secrets of the universe are hidden in his eyes and if you stare into them for too long your mind will unravel into madness is Jimmy. He's super chill."
Im so happy people are enjoying this au as much as I am this made me jump and squeal because SOMEONE GETS ITTTTTT and this is exactly how it goes. The guards HATE Jimmy. He's always, well everywhere. But they can never catch him or prove it's him or how he gets in to places he's not supposed to be in.
"I'm not their step dad but I'm the dad who stepped up." -Fae Jimmy, probably
Any man can be a mom it takes a real man to be mother.
bird man jimmy slowly becoming my new very specific hyperfixation
also all i can imagine is him in his full fae form as that meme of that mom with her kids on leashes but it's him and the kids are Martin, Chris, Aviva, and Koki
YEP. Trust and believe he's grounded them all to the nest at least once.
What are all the ages for your wolfwalkers au? (for Jimmy ig it would be both the age he pretends to be and his real age?)
Jimmy pretends to be 18 but is really around 4,450 years old so pretty young by fae terms.
Martin is 16
Chris is 13
Koki is 17
Aviva is 16
And Zack is 15!
Bonus Chris's mom is like 90 but wolf walkers being similar to fae she looks early 40s at most.
Also also wolf walkers are not immortal like fae are but can get to around 500 years old give or take (this is not cannon to the real Wolf walkers lore or movie this is just for my au lol)
little martin using fae jimmy's wing as a blanket
YES. THEY ALL DO. Child mildly cold? Where's the bird man.
Fae Jimmy just collecting children. And when they're adults you know he's crying because "why not small anymore? why not stay tiny? where chickadees go?" sad squawking while the now grown up crew is just watching him in confusion.
Wouldn't it be so funny if he brought them with him to a fae event and when they came out it was the modern day? Wouldn't it be so funny if they suddenly woke up with more claws and feathers than they remembered having? Wouldn't it be so funny if because he was in charge of changlings he knows how to make them? Wouldn't it be funny if these now immortals built a giant turtle and just flew around saving the enviornment and animals knowing they'll never actually get hurt since, y'know, fae. Wouldn't it be?
Little Martin, Chris, Aviva, and Koki following big bird fae Jimmy around like little chicks. (Chris is just there because Martin is there. He refuses to participate otherwise.)
Like he's chill and disguises as a kid but I love imagining him getting pissed after they get hurt and he's like "How DARE you hurt MY humans!" and gets all big and monsterous.
and then the culprit mysteriously disappears while the kids get treats.
They get lost in the woods and he's just like "alright little chickadees this way!" And just hops along the path as birds do and they happily follow they get close to a village and someone shoots at him and suddenly a tree falls on them! How mysterious. He buys them cake afterwards.
I feel like if Martin saw Jimmy's true form he wouldn't freak out. well maybe a little. but he'd just immediately try to figure out what bird he is and probably just freak out because his friend is a cool fae!
And Jimmy is just there like: ...Well, at least there's one pure human in this world.
Yeah pretty much. When he showed Koki she was like "Cool anygays have you seen Aviva lately-"
Omg wait so is Jimmy like a psychic of some kind in the wolfwalkers au? I love when my boy gets a position that isn't just some unimportant side character MY BOY IS THRIVING
Oh he's a little more than that 🤭 SPOILER FOR MY WILD KRATTS X WOLF WALKER AU BELOW
Jimmy's a fae!! He originally helped changelings transfer back to the fae realm but since he was around towns so much he grew fond of humans, he saw that they weren't just destructive forces against nature they just needed guidance on how to live with it! So he started bouncing around towns and teaching them about the fae and nature and how to live in peace with both but he wasn't afraid to get rid of anyone who refused to respect it. He knows lots of shape shifting spells, hence how he never gets recognized, but his main animal is a Red Kite, a species of Irish hawk! In his fae form he has feathers on his face and arms. He also has hawk legs and wings and is a very capable flier. He met Koki when she was a little kid and he was using a spell to look different and she was lost so he helped her get back home. He liked the people from her village so kept an eye on things for a bit before she became an orphan and then he said screw it and turning into a younger version of his normal red head self and joined the orphanage to help keep everyone safe and teach this village like he'd done others, he didn't intend to stay as long as he did but he just fit right in and became really good friends with Koki to the point he actually told her about him being a fae. He also knows Chris! He doesn't like know know him but they're aware of each other since they're both creatures of the woods. He also picked up cartography so that he could keep people away from fae areas and out of other creatures territories. That's one of the problems he has with Zack and his dad is that they don't care. They go where they want and then blame him for "not warning them" when a soldier mysteriously goes missing.
