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!

what is each Varmitech’s coffee/drink order?
Thank you so much for this ask! I know it took a while to get to but I hope you enjoy reading about the Varmitech Crew’s favorite drinks! I wrote descriptions for everyone’s favorite drinks “in character,” which was very fun.
This ask also helped me figure out that 2 of the kiddos have food allergies, so thank you for adding to my world building process 😊! See answers below the cut!
Zach: Anything black and with extra caffeine….My preferred drink order is Black Eye Coffee, just listen to the name! It’s perfect! It has black coffee and two shots of espresso, the perfect combination for a busy businessman, inventor, and family man such as myself. I do add quite a bit of sugar to the mix, though. I like it black, but I can’t deny my sweet tooth.

Violet: As someone with overactive bladder, I can’t really enjoy drinks. Anything but water or blueberry juice and I’m in misery 😭. But, if I am adventurous and decide to get a drink (rare), I am going for McDonald’s Mango & Pineapple Smoothie. I cannot drink anything with caffeine due to my medical conditions, and I dislike caffeine drinks anyway, so this is the perfect compromise, as I LOVE fruit and cold drinks!

Varina: Ohhhhh, so many good choices, but I’ll have to say my favorite drink is Caffé Mocha! I just love the combination of the coffee and chocolate/mocha flavor! It’s like an ultra caffeinated hot chocolate to me 😋. I’m not a huge coffee fan, but this combination makes it manageable, and it just tastes delicious! I prefer to make it at home because I can add even more chocolate to it in a dusting on top of the cream!

Vera: I do not enjoy the taste of coffee by itself, so I prefer to have coffee drinks that are so full of sugar and sweet flavors that the coffee taste is virtually unrecognizable, or it is at least masked in such a way that it’s palatable. I personally prefer cold coffee drinks and my favorite is the Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino from Starbucks. I adore the caramel flavor, drizzle, and the crunchy topping. It seems more like a milkshake than coffee, which I love!

Victor: Red Eye Coffee. Dad, much to mom’s horror, had Vallen and me taking sips of his coffee as far back as we can remember. That was exactly what grandpa Tyler did with her so she was sure it would scar us for life like it had her. It didn’t for me, I grew up to crave strong, black coffee. But, I don’t like it as strong as dad, so I prefer the Red Eye Coffee with only one shot of espresso as opposed to two shots like Black Eye Coffee. Unlike dad, I cannot stand any sugar in my coffee, I want it black and unsweetened…as the coffee beans intended.

Vallen: Welp I am the Varmitech with the peanut allergy, so I’m honestly too paranoid to order coffee, drinks, or food out. I am the person that makes my coffee at home, or I’ll have a Zachbot to prepare it for me, so I can ensure I don’t have to make an impromptu visit to the ER. Dad, Varina, and Vera taught me the art of at home coffee making, and my taste for coffee fell somewhere in between their preferred beverages. I am still traumatized by black coffee from when Dad gave it to me and Victor, but I like it sweet like him, and I like it flavorful like Varina and Vera, and iced/cold like Vera…so, I prefer flavored Iced Coffee. My personal favorite is Coconut Iced Coffee. I am checking the labels for each ingredient like a hawk, but I enjoy the cold coffee and sweet coconut flavor combo.

Victoria: Guess who inherited mom’s overactive bladder and can’t enjoy drinks…me! It’s all for the best though because, like mom, I also find most drinks unpalatable. Add in my dairy sensitivity and that cuts out A LOT of options. But, if I am going to try and enjoy a drink, I will usually have the Vanilla Bean Crème Frappuccino from Starbucks. It HAS to be a nondairy version, but I really enjoy the vanilla flavor and little bits of vanilla beans!

Daphne goes on vacation
(Violet, Vera, Varina, Vallen, Victor and Vallen belong to @jokerislandgirl32 )
Under cut due to length
Daphne was excited to finally go somewhere. She hadn’t been on a large family vacation like this since she was a little baby, but after weeks of convincing, she was finally going to the beach with the Varmitech family. Her mom had to work, so she wouldn’t come. Daphne was excited to go somewhere completely alone for the first time, even if it was with a family friend. They were going to the beach, a place Daphne loved but went to less often than she’d like. Once she had double checked her packing and spoke to her mom about what to do, she left to go to the beach with the rest of the Varmitechs.
Daphne was pleased to discover she had her own room, close to the Varmitech’s suite, where everyone else would be staying. She was happy to have her own room but still be close to everyone else. She plopped onto her bed and then began to unpack. After she had changed into her swimsuit, a yellow and purple bikini, she joined Zach, Vera, Varina, Vallen, and Victor to go down to the beach. Violet and Victoria opted to stay in the hotel and meet them for dinner in a couple hours.
Daphne had fun running in the ocean with the other kids and playing, but she wasn’t used to the chaos that came with them. She was an only child so she wasn’t used to the craziness that came with siblings. But, Daphne had a ton of fun in the sun with everyone. She managed to convince Zach to be ‘buried’ in the sand, which she enjoyed doing. After he got out of the sand, they all walked to meet Violet and Victoria for dinner. Daphne was worried about dinner, she was a picky eater in general and had a shellfish allergy. She managed to figure it out though, and had a nice dinner with the Varmitechs. They insisted on paying for her meal, even though she brought money from her mom, because she was the guest.
When everybody got back, they discovered that they forgot to put on sunscreen, much to everyone’s horror. Daphne was significantly tanner, and everybody else was red as a tomato. Zach got it the worst, he looked more like a lobster than a human. He was whining to Violet, and Daphne went to her room as Violet began to apply aloe vera to everyone’s burns. In that moment, she felt grateful to not really burn as easily.
The vacation was overall great, and Daphne felt grateful to temporarily be a member of the Varmitech crew.
