hey bestie 💋💍 👉👈 for cedfia?? 🤭

OUGH cedfia I miss them 😭❤

💋 Who says “I love you” first & how?

Sofia!!! She's been saying it for years and years and years and no one has thought any thing of it. I think its when she's about 16 or 17 when she says it for the first time but not in the little kid/platonic way. I think Cedric just does something small for her, something like simple that he's probably done 100 times before but that one time it just kind of clicks in her head that, yeah, she loves him. Loves him. and she says it again, just as she's done hundreds of times, and he doesnt know its different but she does ❤

💍 Would they ever get married? What would the proposal look like?

I think they do! Sofia probably isnt on her way to be in an arranged marriage dude to her being the youngest + technically she is married into royalty in a way, so I do not think there is much muddling when it comes to who she has to marry when she is older (+ marrying a court wizard still seems to fit in a nobility sense but yeah).

With that being said I think Sofia is also the one to propose. Gender norms be damned lol. I think even someone trying to tell her she can't would make her want to more, and besides I don't? I don't think Cedric would? Not because he wouldn't want to but rather just because I feel it would stress him out too much/he'd be afraid to even if everyone knows she'd say yes

What are your favorite headcanons when writing krattcest? ^^

Hmmm I have a few but i feel like they end up overlapping a lot

Chris has a type A personality / Martin has type B. I like the serious younger vs laid-back older a lot and it fits them really well imo

Chris being more cautious/shy about their relationship. I also like the idea of him being the one to have fallen first or at least to have realized he had fallen first

When their relationship shifted from brotherly to romantically I think there was like 0 change for Martin. Like they were the same as before except now they kiss with tongue sometimes

In terms of love languages Martin loves spending time the most while prefers to give physical touch more vs Chris who prefers to get words of affirmation and give acts of service

Chris has a hard time sleeping without Martin

WAIT THATS CRAZY CRAZY LMAO

hey if OP ever wants to make more """"platonic"""" fanart of my fics they can feel free 😊

what does compHet mean? :o

CompHet/Compulsory heterosexuality is a term (originating in lesbian circles but I feel like it can apply to a lot of other types of queer people too) that essentially boils down to the idea that because society compels/reinforces heterosexual relationships as the default, many people accept being heterosexual because they don't realize they have other options.

Essentially if you expect being unhappy being in straight relationships because that's 'just how it is', you'll never consider if you don't actually enjoy living this way and will go with the flow.

do you think chris would be an early bird or night owl? martin?

i was watching s7 e12 where chris sprains his ankle bc he was too excited about meeting chimpanzees. at the beginning of the ep he'ds waking everybody up at 5 AM and everyone (except martin!!!!) was like "dawg.... its way too early i wanna go back to bed.....". but martin got up and was ready to go do cool chimp stuff with his bro! martin was so happy that chris was so happy...!!!

that part of the episode just made me so giddy and happy !! the part where aviva and martin also comfort him after he sprains his ankle was also rlly cute.

this made me wanna write a fic where one of the kratt brothers wakes the other up to do a cool adventure he's super excited about. even though the sleepy-woken-up brother that isnt excited abt it, he gets up and gets excited bc his bro is excited.. i was just pondering which brother is the early bird and which is the night owl (or perhaps they are both the night owl? or both the early bird?)

thoughts on this :3?

I think they're both early birds but Chris is MUCH MORE of the early bird than Martin. Like I do feel in my heart that Chris is the one waking up at sunrise every morning. He's waking up and having his breakfast and enjoying the peacefulness true and true 😌

this is actually really similar to my thoughts when writing Stay a Little Longer !!! In that fic I made it sound more like Chris wakes up earlier for more so walk of shame reasons but I do genuinely feel like he'd get up early regardless! Martin however I feel enjoys sleeping in time to time when he gets the chance to ^^

I respect it not being an interest atm but do you have any hcs you can share 😭💔

//assuming this is about krattcest bc of the other ask

I think that they hide their relationship from the crew as much as they can - at least in the beginning - and because of this they have a lot of weird/awkward interactions at first.

One thing is their attempts at secretly flirting - I have another post about them mimicking mating rituals with one another bc its a sly way for them to flirt without being obvious to the team since it comes off as a joke easily. With that I have a draft that has them talking about praying mantises and Martin telling Chris that he'd let him eat his head ❤️🥀 who said romance is dead

Beyond that imagine attempted date nights on the tortuga?? Dinner dates getting crashed bc Jimmy walked in and thought it smelled good. Movie date but Aviva LOVES this movie so pause it real quick while she makes popcorn. Game night together but Koki insists on being dealt in on the next hand. You see the pattern.

Just of the idea of them doing all of this stuff that the team believes is 1000% innocent in the moment but then LATER when they find/figure out Chris and Martin's true relationship theyre like 🧍‍♂️ oh.

hii !!

i recently got back into wild kratts (havent watched since i was a kid) and got rlly into kcest ... i remember i also liked kcest watching it when i was little too lol

i rlly like your hc idea of chris and martin secretly flirting by acting out mating rituals, and i wanna write a fic abt it !! do you have any other ideas similar (ways that they hide their relationship from the rest of the gang)?

Omg welcome friend hi hiii 🧡

If you decide on writing that fic please feel free to send it my way!! I would love to read it 🥰 or come by for a chat i love talking about these two ough 🙂‍↕️

As for headcanons i kinda feel like chris and martin get A LOT of leeway with the gang for how affectionate they can be before anyone starts suspecting stuff/if they ever do. Like i feel like the tortugang just thinks theyre really close and thus dont question stuff. Like i feel like they get to the point where theyre all but being explicit sbout their relationship and it goes over the tortugang's heads but any outsider would be like ummm 🤨
