Selfship Collage for Ziolet!

Blank Version, picture links, and descriptions below the cut!

Violet’s Side

Flower: Lilacs - Not technically a flower as much as a bush, but Violet loves lilacs all the same, their scent is also one of her favorite scents!

Animal: Butterflies - Violet likes any and every butterfly, but, of course, purple ones in particular!

Fruit: Chocolate Covered Strawberries - She likes most fruits, but her favorite fruit is strawberries, add milk or white chocolate on them and she’s over the moon with happiness.

Weather/Seasons: Fall - Violet loves the weather, all the colors, Halloween and Thanksgiving, and the general atmosphere associated with fall.

Food: Gumbo - Violet’s a southern gal who loves all southern cooking and Cajun food in particular! Of all the Cajun dishes she enjoys gumbo is her favorite.

MBTI: ISFJ - I explain more about this down below in Zach’s section, but an explanation of why I selected this type for her may be found here, she is essentially me, so it fits!

Hobby: Singing/Music - Violet’s favorite way to communicate her thoughts is through music and song!

Color: Lilac - She loves all shades of purple, but the softer shade of lilac is her most favorite color.

Zach’s Side

Flower: Gladiolus Black Star - I played around with the idea of what Zach's favorite flower would be, initially I thought poppies because of the bumblebee episode, but it just didn't feel right, so many thanks to @novazentryx for the suggestion of this beautiful flower. I headcanon Zach's mom to be a florist, so I feel like he would have encountered this flower as a child and become obsessed with it for it's black/red color combo!

Animal: Black Panther - Come on, we know Zach loves Shadow. Even if he won't admit it. So therefore the black panther has to be his favorite animal.

Fruit: Strawberries - I think he would like strawberries for the flavor and the color, they are red and they are sweet, and given his favorite cookie in the series, I feel like it is safe to say he has a sweet tooth and would love nice, fresh, sweet strawberries.

Weather/Seasons: Fall - I was already leaning toward fall for him mainly because of his darker personality, it just fits with the fall/Halloween season vibes. But, just to get a second opinion, this was another question I asked @novazentryx for help with! He concurred that Zach would prefer the milder nature and weather of the fall season. (I could not find the link to this pin on Pinterest when composing this post, when I do, I will attach it!)

Food: Tomato Soup - As told by Zach himself in the skunk episode!

MBTI: ISTJ - I took a series of quizzes last year when I answered an ask where I listed all my headcanons for the Varmitech Crew’s personality types, the quiz result for Zach was this type, which I agree with.

Hobby: Inventing/Robotics - It's literally his job and all he does…you know besides whining and trying to best the Wild Kratts and steal their technology 😆.

Color: Chartreuse - As mentioned by Aviva in Mystery of the Weird Looking Walrus.

Shared Items

Ice Cream Flavor: Strawberry Sundae - An ice cream Zach and Violet love to share together 🥰.

Free Space: Only Heart - Zach and Violet are each other’s one and only…each other’s only heart 💜!

your banner on your profile is so awesome

The banner in question:

Link Here 😊

Lol, thanks! I know it is, isn’t it? It’s a picture perfect representation of Zach and Violet’s obsession with each other 😂. All credit for this beautiful masterpiece goes to @quasarzt. He truly captured the beauty of their kissing here, or more accurately eating each other’s faces it seems 😆.

Nevertheless, and all joking aside, I love this fanart so much, and I am so grateful for it. I had seen this kissing meme going around and I thought it would be so funny and cute to see Ziolet like this, and without me even telling Eli I’d thought this, he manage to create this gem and gifted it to me! He read my mind (like he often does), and I am so happy he did. Because now I have this wonderful artwork to love and cherish 😊.

So, I am glad you like it, and I am so glad you made this for me, Eli! It’s one of my favorite Ziolet fanarts now!

Zach Loves….Sooooo Much!

I made a little screenshot edit of Zach saying he loved my s/i/OC Violet soooo much! So! I decided to make it it’s own post…and also make a version for every Wild Kratts character that Zach’s shipped with (so all the adults 😂), and a version for other Zach selfshippers (a “you” version)!

They were all so fun to make because I tried to use colors specific to each character. Feel free to use them as you like; a credit would be appreciated though!

And note that Paisley’s can be interpreted as romantic or platonic or familial depending upon whether you ship them romantically or you headcanon them as cousins! Enjoy!

If anyone wants a version for a specific OC/s/is, please let me know! I’d be happy to make one for you!

Very curious to know this one: 🐾

In response to this post!

🐾 - Pets

The one pet I know Violet has at this point in my Wild Violet AU is a cat with Zach named Dawn (who she named after her mother). A cat that just so happens to be based on my cat Jenny who passed a few years ago. Shhhh, it’s my story, my choice.

Violet and Zach, begrudgingly at first, adopted a stray female kitten that showed up literally under Violet’s aunt’s porch one day when Zach was visiting Violet during one of his spring breaks from college. Zach made a habit of spending at least a few days of his college breaks with Violet, both as a way to see her and avoid having to spend any more time with his mother than necessary.

On the day they found Dawn, the time went about as normal for them, Zach and Violet would just hang out on her Aunt Amy’s porch and watch the ocean while talking, or go to the beach (after Violet practically had to drag Zach there of course because eww, sand, icky nature and such). The rest of the story is below the cut!

But on that fateful day while lounging on the porch nearly a year after their friendship began, Violet thought she heard a kitten crying:

Violet: *standing up from a porch swing* “Zach do you hear that?”

Zach: *half asleep in a hammock* “Hear what? All I hear is you yapping and keeping me awake, I’m trying to sleep here!”

Violet: *walking to him and shoving him in the hammock* “You seriously don’t hear that! A kitten is crying its eyes out!”

Zach: “Hey stop that, you’re giving me seasickness! And no I don’t hear it, you’re imagining things!”

Violet: “No I’m not! I have ears! Maybe they can hear the poor thing because my ears are much younger than yours, grandpa!”

Zach: *sitting up from the hammock* “I’ll have you know I have impeccable hearing you little brat…”

The kitten starts crying much louder.*

Violet: “okay Mr. Impeccable Hearing, try to tell me you didn’t hear that!”

Zach: “Argh…fine, I heard it, it sounds like the thing is being murdered…”

Violet: “We have to find out where it is and what’s going on, come on.”

Zach: *flopping back onto the hammock* “Do we have to, won’t it tire itself out after a while?”

Violet: “It’s a kitten, not a baby, now come on.”

Zach and Violet proceed to follow the sound of the crying kitten and under the porch they find a little gray kitten, it’s definitely old enough to be weaned from it’s mother but not old enough to get food on it’s own.

Violet: *gathering the kitten in her arms* “Awww, shhhh! It’s okay little one, don’t cry, come on let’s go see Amy and see if we can’t get her to take us to get some kitten food for you.”

Zach: *grimacing* “You think your aunt is just going to accept that furball into her home? It looks dirty…”

Violet: *snuggling the kitten against her chest* “She’s not that dirty, she just needs a little bath, some brushing, and some tender love and care.”

Zach: *appalled* “She? It’s a girl? That means it can make more!!! You’ll have a whole herd of kittens running around here!”

Violet: *walking up the steps with the kitten* “And that’s why we’ll get her fixed, no babies for this little ray of sunshine.”

Zach: *annoyed* “Vi…Amy’s never going to agree to this, she barely tolerates me visiting…”

Violet: *turning to face Zach, offering the kitten to him* “Awww come on Zach, don’t be such a grumpy pants, who can deny this little face?”

Zach: *takes the kitten like it’s an explosive device* “He-he, well she is kinda cute…”

Violet *takes the kitten back, kissing her head* “She’s absolutely perfect, my beautiful little Dawn.”

And from that point forward, Zach and Violet became coparents to Dawn the Cat. Zach claimed to despise her but whenever he was around, prior to the time when Violet started working for Zach/moved in with him, Dawn found her way into his lap and made herself right at home.

And when Violet started working for Zach/moved in with him, Dawn came with her. There was no denying the fact that she was their cat at that point because she would slink between their bedrooms and follow either Zach or Violet around his headquarters, mansion, jet, and so on at random. She always wanted to be near them.

When Zach and Violet’s romantic relationship began and they started sleeping in the same bed, Dawn of course joined them in bed, and Dawn was right there alongside Zach and Violet as they got married and started their human family. Dawn was a great support to Zach and Violet when they lost Alexandria, and as an even better support to them when Violet was carrying Varina and during the time Varina was in the hospital.

Dawn lived a relatively long life for a cat, passing around age 18 from old age and cancer shortly before Victor and Vallen were born. Making her the first pet that Varina and Vera had too. Losing Dawn while pregnant with the twins was a huge blow to Violet. She was already super emotional and the loss of the cat that had been there for her and her family was devastating.

But Violet, Zach, and their oldest daughters found solace in the fact that Dawn had been with them for so long, and the memories they shared together were lifelong and irreplaceable. And I feel, that when the time is right, Zach, Violet and all their children will be greeted by the beautifully unique Cat Distribution System yet again 😊.

Random Varmitech Family Facts: Allergies

JIG Note: I’ve decided to start a fun little post series about random Varmitech Family Facts for Zach, Violet and their children. All the post will contain the tag: #random varmitech facts. The posts may come from Zach, Violet, or myself depending on the topic/day. So without further ado…

Courtesy of Violet Varmitech…Varmitech Allergies

Two of our babies have food allergies: Vallen is allergic to peanuts and Victoria is lactose intolerant.

While we are not a peanut free household, we are extremely careful in cross contamination of peanut products around Vallen. Victor is so concerned about his twin brother that he himself elected to remove peanuts entirely from his diet because he doesn’t want to risk exposure.

And everyone in the family is also mindful of Victoria’s lactose intolerance. We always make sure an equally appetizing alternative is available for her when we consume dairy products.

One of our babies is allergic to bees: Victor. You wonder why Zach’s so afraid of bees, that’s why…he’s traumatized after seeing a bee sting nearly kill our son.

I myself am allergic to codeine, it makes me violently ill. Just ask Zach. He witnessed me take it after my wisdom tooth extraction, and the result was not pretty.

Then nearly all of us can suffer from seasonal allergies at some points in the year, for myself and all our children it’s worse in the spring and summer, but for me and the boys it can also spike again around fall. Victoria has the worst allergy symptoms out of all of us when the pollen first starts popping in the spring. She becomes a snotty little girl with a hoarse raspy voice 😢.

Zach seems to be the the only one immune to seasonal allergies, the man claims to detest nature but yet he’s out in it all the time with little after effects from all the exposure to the elements and pollen.

Sooo! Those are all the allergies of the Varmitech Crew! We hope you at least found this information interesting!

JIG Note: If anyone has recommendations or requests for the next posts in this series, feel free to let me know!

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!

bro you should be happy abt your anniversary!!!!!!

thats life with your husband youre celebrating!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awww, thank you so much for saying this!

A bit of a ramble below the cut ⬇️

This really is something that I needed to hear 🥹. My relationship with Zach has been impacted by so many irl things. I just don’t feel as connected to him as I used to because I am either feeling so depressed or anxious or overwhelmed all the time. I often cannot focus on him or our love as I want to. And that makes me feel as if I am unworthy of him, I am unworthy of our love, and I am unworthy of being happy in our relationship.

But reminders such as this provide moments of reflection for me to really see that regardless of whatever else may be bringing me down in my life, Zach is there and he is my constant through it all. Just this week I have tried my had at online dating for the first time. As a last ditch effort to maybe meet someone and not be alone for the rest of my life. And doing this has just shown me how deeply I care for and love Zach; how deeply the love and life we share together has impacted me.

I have my other f/os, I may even have an irl partner after I weed through the interesting online suitors, but nothing can ever replace the love I feel for Zach, and the love he feels for me. We are partners for life, best friends, soulmates, each other’s true one and only. And that is a beautiful and eye opening realization. I am so thankful and blessed to have him in my life.

Especially today…I don’t talk about it as much as the other anniversaries because it is a challenging one for my s/i Violet to face, but today is their 12th LEGAL wedding anniversary. Zach and Violet were officially married on this day 12 years ago…it was just in a courthouse, officiated by a Justice of the peace, under the eyes of God and with their family members in attendance (and later the rest of the villains), but it was the start of their lives together as husband and wife.

The beginning of their marriage was a challenging time for Zach and Violet, given the loss of Alexandria so early into the marriage, just like this point in my relationship with Zach has been beset by challenges. But, like with Zach and Violet in my AU, they overcame the challenges and persevered: Just like Zach and I will 💜❤️.
