So I have a theory as to why we enjoy angst and our favorite fictional characters getting hurt/sick/etc. Besides the relatability aspect to it, I think it has to do with getting an adrenaline rush without anyone being in actual danger, since we wouldn’t act like this with people we know irl if something happened to them—it’s much like rollercoasters and riding off of a high of thrill without you or your loved ones being in any real peril.
A collection of Wild Kratt fanfic recs about one or both of them going feral to some extent. Assume the work is finished unless I mention otherwise. Some things in here are feral-per-say and more strongly being influenced by animal instincts.
Feel free to give recs in comments that are not mentioned in the list.

This is stuff specifically about going feral as a T-Devil.
Empty Stomach (A short piece in which Tazzy Chris eats a dead animal and throws up)
The Blood on Your Teeth (the take on the Tazzy Chris episode in which Chris is more feral than he was in the episode. Currently unfinished)
Stuck as a T-Devil (short light-hearted fic set right after the end of the Tazzy Chris episode. Due to the amount of DNA in suit, Chris will be stuck as a T-Devil for a few days)
Tazzy Brother-Mine (Tazzy Martin. Zach's disrupt-o-bots copy this malfunction from Chris's suit to Martin's. It doesn't activate til awhile later when Chris and Martin get stuck in a cave-in. Martin still pretty much himself but he's hungry and that doesn't bode well for animal instincts.)
Tazzy Martin (Zach's disrupt-o-bots copy this malfunction from Chris's suit to Martin's. It activates right away and Martin soon ends up running off into the woods while the crew tries to find him. They end up having to save Zach from Martin)
Tazzy!Martin Comic: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 (not a fanfic exactly but a fan comic)
Were-Kratts! (Martin and Chris are were-mountain cats. They have been this whole time but the others didn't find out til now. They aren't dangerous towards the crew but they do cause a mess)
A cute little comic in which bird!Chris makes a nest in Martin's hair
Board Games and Burnout (Martin stays up way too late learning how to play a board game he just got. He and Chris then have to stop an evil plan of Zach's and afterwards have to round of a bunch of zebras. Martin stays with the zebras as he zebra himself to make sure no more wander off. Zebra herd instinct makes him really want to be with the crew)
Cheetah Panic (Martin worries about Chris being late to show up their meeting spot. He then has a cheetah panic attack, only a little bit of feral-ness here) there's also a comic version
Otterly Ridiculous Instincts (Martin and Chris are otters but Chris's suit has malfunctioned turning him into a baby otter. Martin gets in danger from a shark and Chris's animal instincts cause him to really freak out)
Control (Some random villain tries to use Zach's mind control technology to get Martin to attack a de-powered Chris. Martin ends up attacking the random villain instead after some struggle, it's bloody.)
A Foreign Sense of Flavor (Martin has a nightmare in which he goes hunting as a Florida Panther and kills a "deer")
Influence of Instincts (Chris and Martin are hanging out as cheetahs but then run into some poachers who think they are mutant cheetahs and not human. Martin is out cold and Chris ends up attacking the poachers to protect them both)
Intentional Misconduct (Zach uses his disrupt-o-bots to make the bros go feral while they are in wolf form. They attack him and he runs off to the Tortuga to help undue what he did, the wold bros follow him. Currently unfinished)
The Sea Forgets; The Sky Remembers (Zach's evil cousin has a traveling cryptid show and show wants to get some living specimens for it. She has Zach help her by capturing the bros and messing with their suits to make Martin look like a merman and Chris look like the mothman. Chris is able to get away to get help but isn't able to bring Martin with him. Neither of them were living in good conditions but things get worse for Martin after Chris escapes. Sadly, being part-goldfish is bad for memory)
Physical Instrument (Chris messes up his suit and ends up being a hybrid of multiple animals. He runs around in the woods trying to hunt and not being good at it. The crew have to capture a starved feral Chris. Even when they can fix his mind, they can't fix his body. Currently Unfinished)
Animalistic (turns out using shapeshifting suits a bunch can cause permanent change. Also shows sick!Chris. Currently Unfinished)
Of Claws and Stripes (Tazzy Chris but with tigers instead of T-Devils. Chris poses a very real threat to Martin and suit poses a very real threat to Chris)

Back when I played The Wolf Among Us and got interested in werewolves for a period of time :3

He's going through it, guys
I love putting beloved characters through the wringer
So, here's another one from December! I was looking at it and wanted to add some pizzazz... so I went crazy with my photoshopping skills
And I discovered this new technique for scanned pencil art- if you add a new layer, paint it black, then set the blend mode to "overlay", it will increase contrast without losing fidelity or making the entire picture too bright/too dark. Play around with this yourself!
Without the filters and overlays:
It makes a mega difference!
I also scanned it before deciding I wanted to put more detail onto it, so here's a bonus pic:

So when I was 8 or 9, I did lots of things; go outside to make mud pies, climb trees, do art class and PE every alternating week, surf the web, play on the Xbox 360 with my brother, and watch cartoons on the telly (one of which being Wild Kratts).
I also loved to play flash games online on the family computer all the time, so I can’t remember which I found first, the WK flash games on the PBS website or the show itself, although come to think of it, it might’ve been the show first because the ad at the end credits where they said they have flash games on the website is probably how I found those; and I watched other PBS shows like Oso Special.
I loved the cheetah racer game and remember it being really hard to beat level (I think?) 4, and wandering around the various biomes in the power disks you won through playing. RIP Flash 😢
As for the fandom, the memory had been completely dormant for the past 11 years until about two months ago, when YouTube recommended me a video titled something like “Remember Wild Kratts?” and I was like oh yeah I used to watch that! Then moved on to the next video.
Then about a week later I get a picture of Zach Varmitech on my Pinterest feed, and I’m like, isn’t that… Wild Kratts, right? (I recognized the distinct art style along with Zach, but totally forgot his name)
Then I went down a rabbit hole of fanart and found @yes-asil’s tazzy Martin comics, and the rest is history 🥳
pic to grab your attention
Okay now. Question for Wild Kratts(/the Kratt Brothers) fandom.. ... .. .. .
Q: Why did you join this fandom? Or how did you get into this fandom?
reblog for an answer!

Happy Easter, everyone! ❤ - I was doing this as a quick drawing in an Easter card for a friend and thought "I should post this". So before I sent it, I decided to scan the drawing inside and post it here to wish everyone a happy Easter, too :D - I'm not very good at anatomy if I don't look at a ref, so I used panthera.arven's drawing of Lulu as a pose reference (hope you don't mind), then I added my own version of the fur pattern instead of copying the entire thing. I thought the drawing of Lulu that Arven made was really cool, so I wanted to recreate it into my friend's card with my own personal artistic touch :3 (I'm not %100 sure if I can still call this an original piece of work, though, since I copied SOME aspects of it, but yeah let me know if this counts as original work or derivative work if you know the copyright policies more than me. =P) - Date Drawn: 4/16/2019 Reference: https://www.instagram.com/p/BqMtp_sn-p1 - #cat #drawing #kitty #pencildrawing #art #feline #pencilart #penciltraditional #traditionalart #traditionaldrawing #traditionalpencil #happyeaster2019 https://www.instagram.com/p/BwhpuJAH7QI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1hcrz6mm4y2bu

Looking Forward To: My game The Beekeeper's Picnic is coming out in a few months! I have so much work left to do on it, but I'm also excited about entering the final stretch!
I will tag @fruitviking, @jeremys-come-to-bed-eyes @sandygarnelle @geeoharee and anyone else who would like to do it <3
😲😲😲NEFARIO ARE YOU OK I always get so giddy every time I see a new post by you 🥺 I love seeing the relationship between these two. You have to make a fanfiction or something! I would gobble it up 🤗 because judging from this description it would be so interesting to read! And Gru being unprotected, if it was in one of the movies some wacky hyjincs would ensue and he would be completely fine somehow, but I like how with fanart like this there are actual stakes being added to make interesting drama.
"Are you ok, lad, did he hurt you?"
"Am I ok!? Doc, he almost killed you! Why the heck are you worried about me?!"
Nefario knows he can handle being injured, even if it's bad. But he can't stand holding Gru back or him getting hurt, it breaks him more than he cares to admit. He knows the boy is capable, but he's still a kid.
Also yeah, I would be worried too if I was fucking shot and my kid would be there trying to help me, alone and unprotected... It's uh, it's tough realising that.
But don't worry, Gru would joke around to lift the mood and everything will be fine, just as it always is :D
