Is it just me, or does your dad look like Ross from Friends?

no, he really does… but somehow uglier.

Thank you so much for the ask! In response to this post! You can find my answers under the cut!

💢 - Person they can't stand

This changes for Violet as she ages/matures. But I feel like the person who held this title for the longest time in Violet’s life was Aviva. She was jealous of Aviva for the crush Zach had on Aviva at science camp (in my au he had a crush on Aviva while they were at science camp!). And Aviva also treated Violet poorly while she was at science camp.

In many ways, Aviva bullied Violet. She thought Violet was being negatively influenced by Zach, and she was always confrontational with Violet because of this. She genuinely believed Violet could do better in her life than associate with Zach, but she ostracized Violet in the process and subsequently initiated a nearly decade long feud between them.

The only thing that ended the feud was the traumatic birth of Zach and Violet’s eldest daughter Varina. Had Aviva and the rest of the Wild Kratts not assisted when Violet went into premature labor, Violet and Varina would have died. Violet decided to reflect and look past her own feelings of resentment toward Aviva for the past and open a new chapter of friendship between them.

⚰️ - Someone they lost (not necessarily dead)

Violet’s life is overshadowed by loss. All the members of her immediate family (the family she was born into) passed before she was 12. Violet’s parent struggled with fertility issues, pregnancy losses, and infant mortality of their children. Her parents lost two sons and a daughter prior to Violet’s birth: Sterling, River, and Lily. After her parents successfully had Violet they tried for another baby, but Violet’s little sister Rose passed as an infant when Violet was four years old.

Then, when Violet was only 11 years old, her parents Alden and Virginia “Dawn” Tyler, died simultaneously due to a tragic accident. While Violet was cared for and raised by her maternal aunt Amy from this point forward, these losses still greatly impacted her.

And when Violet finally found love and was embarking on starting a family of her own, loss struck again. Violet and Zach lost their first daughter Alexandria when Violet was only 5 months pregnant. This loss in itself was soul shattering for Violet, and of all the losses she experienced, this one was one she never really recovered from.

I have debated on other aspects of Violet’s family, and I feel that Violet’s maternal grandparents are both deceased as well. Her paternal grandparents, on the other hand are a bit of a different story. I feel like she does not have a relationship with them due to the trauma her father endured in his upbringing. So her grandparents on both sides of her family may also be additional losses for her. I’m still figuring this out though.

Your office story is incredible btw. So hot.

Thanks! I plan on writing more limited mobility stuff, I just need more ideas 😅

I really really thought your Rio kiss would end with something crazy since we all know how much you don't like him and it IS April 1.

It was very nice that it didn't ❤ Thank you for writing it!

(btw if you look at the comments people leave, you get a lot of "beautiful as always" is it weird to be the gold standard of beautiful writing? 🥰)

Hi anon 💜

I was going to have to write him if I want to complete my Kiss fic series with ALL the prince suitors (only 2 left!) AND it was an opportunity to surprise @viohasgoneintothewoods which I couldn't resist.

And yes I did it properly because I didn't want to disrespect anyone who was happy for Rio content.

To your other point: I think it's very kind when people write that but I would hardly call myself the gold standard when there are others out there who are just as capable of beautiful writing and storytelling 💜

have you gained back what you lost over the past few months!?

Let’s just say I’m actively trying lol

Do you have an updated Violet color palette? 👁️

Hi! Eli!!!!! It’s been forever but I am finally answering this!

I’ve been agonizing over her palette for far too long, but I think this is what is best for her! Special thanks to you, Eli, for your help in creating her palette in all your drawings of her! You understood my vision and helped to make it a reality!

Below you can find her palette in it’s entirety in a couple formats and with information about the colors pulled from Coolors, which is the website I used to create her palette.

This post will also be added to my pinned post for future reference!

Also for easier access I will include all the colors in her palette individually below ⬇️

Hair:

Ombré Tips for Hair (her hair is a gradient style and is bleached at the ends):

Skin:

Eye Color:

Lips:

Eye Makeup/Eye Shadow:

It’s been a long time coming for this post to become a reality, Violet’s palette is one aspect of her character design that I have had a lot of trouble deciding on, but after exploring the options with Eli and seeing what personally felt right to me, I truly think this is the palette that is most suited for her.

My vision of Violet from the start was for her to have both warm and cool tones in her palette. I wanted her to be tan and vibrant looking, but still maintain and highlight her cool blue-violet eyes that both she and Zach so love. And I feel that this palette accomplishes all of that beautifully.

So peace, love and Violet palette!

In your recent Team Bonding installment, you kept mentioning now tall Shade is. Is it because of how he died? Does he chose to be that tall? Or is that influenced by Twilight, who sees him as larger than life?

Oh there's like LAYERS to this one.

First, there's his actual stature. When I recently replayed TP (your fault, by the way) I was struck by the height difference between the Shade and Twilight Link, who is NOT insinuated to be short. And in comparison to the other heroes, like he kept thinking about Wild, Twilight is the the taller/larger/broader body type.

Like, helm aside? That Stalfos ain't wearing heels. How they expected him to pass for a Kokiri after his growth spurt is way beyond me.

Second, you are absolutely right, Twilight sees the Shade as larger than life. As a real hero. His hero. He's statuesque, he's a monument, he's everything Twilight will forever look up to and strive to emulate.

But third: the Shade is the only person who has ever made Twilight feel like he can be small and vulnerable. He's spent so much of his life working hard and proving himself and needing to live up to destiny, that it's nice to feel cared-for and held and cherished by that one person. Especially when Twi is so ill and injured he's on the verge of death.

What should someone know about dating someone who is a feedee?

I guess it really depends on who you’re asking but one thing for me is that I need every need met and cared for, if I’m getting to a point where it’s impossible for me to do simple tasks, I need that person to be willing to step up and be able to help in every aspect
