Aviva Corcovado - Tumblr Posts
Just a little something I doodled at lunch today ;) Martin x Aviva forever! <3
Happy International Women's Day!!! Give it up for these smart, beautiful, and powerful heroines!!!
Just a little edit by me :) (I only changed Aviva's mouth from a frown to a smile, but I thought it would look cute cause her arm was already touching Zach's arm and they were both holding the miniaturizer)
Did Zach’s Disrupto-Bots cause permanent damage to Aviva’s creature power suit technology?
I watched the episode “The Erminator” for the first time today and I had a strange realization.
In the episode, we learn that Aviva now programs new creature power discs of similar animals by taking the foundation of a disc she’s already created and adding to it from there. Furthermore, Aviva makes sure to remove the original information from the disc coding so that the new disc won’t malfunction and cycle through ghost programs of past activations… Where have we heard that before?
In “Creature Power Challenge”, Zach uses his Disrupto-Bots to hack into the creature power suits and reactivate ghost programs of past activations at random. This is exactly what happens when Martin decides to try his hand at making a creature power disc in “The Erminator”, as he forgets to get rid of the old programming before creating the new disc.
This makes me think that Aviva didn’t fully clean the creature power suits of Zach’s hacking. Zach’s disruption code is still somewhere within the brothers’ power suits, and could even still be within the Tortuga as he planted a Disrupto-Bot there as well.
The fact that Aviva and the others don’t seem alarmed by this makes me think that they don’t know it’s happening because of Zach’s past hacking. Aviva seems to think it’s just a flaw in her coding that the ghost activations will happen if she doesn’t program the discs properly. While I’m sure that helps, ghost activations were never an issue until Zach’s interference in “Creature Power Challenge”, which makes me think that he has a hidden advantage here that both he and the crew have no idea about. Unless of course he does realize it and it’s being saved up for some big plot, perhaps for the Wild Kratts movie!
Anyways, just my thoughts about Zach’s hidden advantage. Let me know what you guys think about it!
Wild Kratts Theory: Zach’s Invisibility Cloak
I recently watched the episode “The Vanishing Stingray” for the first time and I found that the episode’s villain plot was very open ended, perhaps for a very specific reason.
In the episode, we learn that Zach’s invisibility cloak, which he has deemed his most genius invention, has an unfortunate glitch. The cloak works perfectly unless it gets wet, which causes the invisibility element to glitch and shut off, allowing you to be able to see the wearer.
Zach tries to remedy this problem by attempting to steal Aviva’s new stingray creature power discs, as he believes the discs house the secret to fixing the glitch due to the fact that stingrays can make themselves invisible under water. His attempt to take the discs fails and Zach is actually not seen in person by any of the crew as his plot in the episode ends, only via a hologram projection. Now here’s where it gets interesting.
After the brief hologram interaction with Zach, Martin questions why Zach went after them, saying “Hey, so what did Zach want anyway?”. I think this is the first time I’ve seen none of the crew figure out a villain plot, which definitely gives Zach an advantage. Only he knows that his invisibility cloak doesn’t work when wet and he believes Aviva’s technology is the secret to fixing the problem.
Now, we know that Zach’s invisibility cloak is his most clever invention, seeing as it was revealed in “Back In Creature Time” alongside Aviva’s very important time trampoline. Unlike most of his other inventions, the cloak allows Zach to get away with his evil plans each time he uses it, like how he used it in “Back In Creature Time” to capture Koki and Jimmy and cut off their communication with the others, as well as in “Creepy Creatures” when he was able to successfully steal the miniaturizer while wearing it. We can see the prominence of this invention well over his others, so the fact that they left this plot in “The Vanishing Stingray” very open ended was quite odd to me… Or so I thought.
After some thinking, I came to the idea that this was done deliberately as a prelude to a larger plot, namely for the Wild Kratts movie. The movie would most likely revolve around some big plot about Aviva’s inventions, such as the time trampoline or maybe even a new one, so it would make sense that Zach would be using his invisibility cloak opposite her creation.
In my opinion, I believe there’s going to be a larger plot to further Zach’s quest to fix his invisibility cloak by using Aviva’s technology. I also think that within that continued plot, the crew will eventually find out about the cloak’s weakness and use that to their advantage. I can just picture Koki casually using a spray bottle around the Tortuga to check if Zach is around! Haha!
Anyways, just some thoughts from me! I haven’t seen all of season 6 yet, so I’m not sure if they’ve done anything else around Zach’s invisibility cloak, but I really hope they use this open ended plot in some way! Let me know what you guys think!
Wild Kratts Theory: Zach’s Obsession with Being Rich and Famous
Besides wanting to be acclaimed as the world’s best and smartest inventor, Zach Varmitech has an obsession with becoming rich and famous, or richer and more famous in his case, by any means possible. From creating his own arctic ice hotel to farming every vegetable and fish in the sea to sell, this man will attempt anything to further his quest for power and status. But I’ve often wondered why Zach has such a large void he needs to fill. Thus, I have my own theory as to why the inventor always feels he needs more in his life.
First off, I believe that Zach was quite poor as a child. From his appearance in the flashback in “Tazzy Chris”, Zach appears to be slightly unkempt, wearing baggy clothes and having his hair not as neat as his usual adult look. His loose clothes as opposed to the young Kratt brothers’ more fitting clothing leads me to believe that his clothes were second hand or hand-me-downs that were meant for him to grow into, meaning there was not enough money for his family to keep buying him new clothes as he grew. You can see this is quite the opposite of how his keeps himself as an adult, making sure his clothes are form fitting and his hair is perfectly styled with everything in its place. He wants to be in total control, as opposed to the chaos of his childhood.
Also, quick side note, the robot he made as a child appears to be made of random junk that he could have found around town very Louis from “Meet The Robinsons” style, something that a young boy with no excess money would have to do if he wanted to make robots.
Looking back on this scene as well, I noticed that the flashback is set up showing the Kratt brothers picking on Zach, almost in a bullying way. Their stance towards the young inventor is pretty threatening, and although I know that they’re going after him because they’re trying to protect the frogs, the way it’s portrayed in the scene shows Zach as a victim. From the way we see Zach’s sad expression and sniffle after the flashback, you can tell that this was a regular thing that happened during his childhood that has left him with permanent trauma. Perhaps it wasn’t even just his conflict with the Kratt brothers, but other kids in his neighbourhood who would pick on him because of his family’s financial situation.
Speaking of Zach’s family, it appears to be only his mother in the picture. Zach has mentioned his mother before in the show, but has never once mentioned his father. My opinion is that it was only Zach’s mother who raised him, leaving him no father figure to look up to or rely on. Instead, he had to be the man of the house and slowly grew into the man of complete power and control he believed he should be.
As well, I’d like to mention that Zach has constantly been upstaged by Aviva for most of his life. They met as kids in a summer science camp, where Aviva’s inventions were constantly seen as better than his own. This is mentioned in “Cheetah Racer” when Aviva points out that at science camp her potato clock kept time better than Zach’s mouldy bread clock (I personally think it’s amazing as well as very out of the box thinking that he got a clock working from bread mould even if it didn’t keep time as well as a generic potato clock). Being repeatedly pushed to the sidelines by his rival would definitely make the inventor want to seek fame, as much as he could to prove that he is better and more important than Aviva.
In conclusion, I believe that Zach’s endless quest for money and fame stems back to his childhood. His need for wealth comes from him being a child of poverty. He wants to make sure that he’ll never be poor again, which has led to his obsession with being excessively rich. And his desire for fame and attention comes from his need to prove his worth to everyone who ever doubted him as a child, be that those kids who teased him or his main rival, Aviva Corcovado.
Anyways, just my thoughts about Zach and why he has such a big hole in his life to fill. I just wanna give him a giant panda bear hug and tell him everything is gonna be alright. Poor Zach has been teased so much in his life for his shortcomings and he deserves some love! Let me know what you guys think of this as well!
I think Aviva definitely has some kind of traumatic past with Zach we’ve yet to hear about.
Why else would this be her deep dark hallucination in “Puffin Rescue”?
Not me wanting to do an AU about Aviva with some mental illness or problem
I see your Zach’s jawline and I raise you Zach’s cheekbones:
I've seen “Liturgusa Krattorum” so many times and I just now noticed how defined Zach’s cheekbones are! How I love me a man with strong facial features! Pardon my swooning over my first and favourite cartoon crush!
Help…I Just Found A New “Side” To Zach…And I Adore It 😭
I never realized how strong Zach’s jawline was until I saw him from this viewpoint. And I am going feral over it.
I Do Like A Strong Jawline…Way Too Much…
I totally agree with all of this and find it quite a coincidence because I just finished a sketch a couple days ago of teenage Zach and Aviva and I kid you not your description of him is EXACTLY how I drew him as a teen! Great minds think alike! Especially minds of Varmitechies!
Young(er) Zach Headcanon?
Why do I have a feeling that when Zach Varmitech was younger (like late teens to early twenties) he was a vibrant, healthy, and very attractive looking young man?
Like I imagine he had healthy undertones to his skin, he had a bit more weight on his body, he did not have bags and dark circles under his eyes, and his face was clean shaven. He just had a youthful vibe to him, and I feel like he might have smiled a lot more back then, genuine smiles, you know? And those smiles also aided in amping up his “attractiveness.”
Not that he isn’t attractive now (okay y’all might not agree, but that’s my personal opinion, I think the man is a walking masterpiece), but I just think the path Zach took in life and the choices he made degraded his health and made him look older than he actually is. I don’t know if that makes sense, but I plan to expand on this thought in another post soon!
I think he looked a lot like that, just with fluffy, less tamed hair, no goatee, and his skin tone was a bit darker, he also likely still had his freckles.
Here’s the sketch I’ve been working on! Aviva dragging Zach to their next class in high school!
I like to imagine that Zach and Aviva were originally friendly rivals as kids in science camp and that they ended up going to the same high school after staying in touch as pen pals since their summer camp days. Their friendship picked up right where it left off, the two sharing a passion for science and bioengineering, however Zach began developing a crush on Aviva since she was the first person that was genuinely nice to him.
I would love to see more backstory for the crew and the villains! I’ve had some ideas recently about doing some “Wild Kratts: The College Days” drawings or fics, mostly of Aviva, Koki, Jimmy, and Zach, as I feel like they all went to the same college together. It would definitely be a fun concept to explore!

Posted this already as a reblog post, but gonna post it as it’s own post as well:

Their friendship picked up right where it left off, the two sharing a passion for science and bioengineering, however Zach began developing a crush on Aviva since she was the first person that was genuinely nice to him.
Aviva’s teenage design is based around her outfit and hairstyle as a child and her outfit and hairstyle as an adult. Similar for Zach, although I based his design more off of his outfit and hair as a child as I think the form fitting clothes and hair gel would have come into play when he started Varmitech Industries.
I love to imagine backstory for the crew and the villains!

Let me know if you guys would be interested in seeing posts from me about the Kratts crew as teenagers!
Happy International Women’s Day! I love the smart, sassy, strong, stunning women of the Wild Kratts world! These ladies deserve it all!
It’s International Women’s Day!
Aviva
Koki
Donita
Paisley
Let’s hear it for the leading ladies in Wild Kratts! These women are amazing!
“Come on, come on, don’t leave me like this! I thought I had you figured out! Something’s gone terribly wrong… You’re all I wanted… Come on, come on, don’t leave me like this! I thought I had you figured out! Can’t breathe whenever you’re gone… Can’t turn back now, I’m haunted!”
Drew a little something “Haunted” to fit into spooky month!
I’ve been wanting to make something with this song related to my interpretation of the Zach x Aviva relationship for so long! In my mind, these two are the definition of a romantic relationship gone toxic.
In the world of my fanfic, Zach and Aviva had once dated, but the relationship ended sour for both parties. Aviva especially ended up with much trauma related to Zach, haunted by the man she used to love but knowing that he’s not the man she fell in love with anymore.
For years I’ve thought this song perfectly describes that relationship and I finally decided to draw something for it! I thought Aviva would look perfect in Taylor Swift’s dress from the “Haunted” cover art, Zach’s figure looming over her as she tries to break free from the relationship, but remains forever haunted by all that transpired between them.
I’m so proud of this drawing and I think I’m really getting the style of the show down! This was my first attempt at a Wild Kratts style background and I think it looks pretty good! Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy my art! Let me know what you think of it!
I was going through some of my old Wild Kratts drawings today and I found this one I made when I first started this blog back in high school!
I was in my Hunchback of Notre Dame obsession and thought it would be fun to draw Aviva as Esmeralda and Zach as Frollo! Aviva is such a bold, independent women like Esmeralda, and Zach definitely has the perfect villain vibe for Frollo!
This piece was one of my first digital drawings, so it holds a special place in my heart! All I had to use for digital drawing back then was Microsoft Paint and it took me weeks to finish colouring with my laptop mouse pad! I never ended up posting it back then, but I’d love to share it with you guys now! I hope you’ll all enjoy it!
Happy 10th Anniversary Back In Creature Time!
Thank you to both @kaythefloppa and @jokerislandgirl32 for bringing to my attention that the pivotal Wild Kratts episode Back In Creature Time is 10 years old today!
I remember watching this special with my brother for the first time like it was yesterday! The fact that they had made a two part episode and added the time travel element to the show blew our minds back then! I remember every feeling I had when I first watched this episode, from the awe of the reveal of Aviva’s time trampoline and Zach’s invisibility cloak to the absolute chills I felt when that Zachbot almost incinerated the return pad. And the Kratt brothers were really able to get their message about animal extinction across in a deep and powerful way that has stuck with me since.
I could fan girl so much more about how much I love this episode, but I think I’ll leave it off here! Thank you to the amazing episode Back In Creature Time for giving us such a fun adventure and adding so much more to the plot for us to geek about! Both me and my brother eagerly await the return of the time trampoline in all its glory in a future episode! I for one would love to see them travel back in time once more in another Back In Creature Time!
Wild Kratts Theory: Ancestors In Adapto The Coyote
So I was watching the Wild Kratts episode “Adapto The Coyote” today and I paid a little extra attention to this scene where Chris and Martin are explaining how European settlers drove off wildlife when they first arrived in North America. Now, let’s take a closer look at these settlers, shall we?
From the looks of their silhouettes, I think the animators used existing character models for this scene, specifically Aviva, Zach, and Dabio.
Now, this could simply be to save them from designing new characters for background silhouettes, but of course I like to add some depth to what I see.
What if these settlers are ancestors of Aviva, Zach, and Dabio!
We already know from “Back In Creature Time” that the villains had ancestors who looked quite a bit like them (the Dabio looking silhouette even has a hat like Shabio), so it stands to reason that the ancestors of the other characters would also be look-alikes.
It would certainly be interesting if this was true because that would mean that one of Aviva’s ancestors was considered a villain in their time.
Anyways, those are just my thoughts on this part of the episode! Let me know what you guys think!
Love these! I just had to make the rest of the crew!
the Kratt brothers!!
Made some for the villains too!
the Kratt brothers!!
Wild Kratts Mood Boards!
I was inspired by @lift-blog to make my own mood boards for the Wild Kratts characters! I hope you guys like them!
LOOK AT THEM
LOOK AT THEM RIGHT NOW
THATS MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD RIGHT THERE THOSE ARE MY BABIES
I saw a comment saying that Martin and Chris are the original ADHD and autism duo and that simple comment escalated to this
