"I'm not their step dad but I'm the dad who stepped up." -Fae Jimmy, probably

Any man can be a mom it takes a real man to be mother.

bird man jimmy slowly becoming my new very specific hyperfixation

also all i can imagine is him in his full fae form as that meme of that mom with her kids on leashes but it's him and the kids are Martin, Chris, Aviva, and Koki

YEP. Trust and believe he's grounded them all to the nest at least once.

What are all the ages for your wolfwalkers au? (for Jimmy ig it would be both the age he pretends to be and his real age?)

Jimmy pretends to be 18 but is really around 4,450 years old so pretty young by fae terms.

Martin is 16

Chris is 13

Koki is 17

Aviva is 16

And Zack is 15!

Bonus Chris's mom is like 90 but wolf walkers being similar to fae she looks early 40s at most.

Also also wolf walkers are not immortal like fae are but can get to around 500 years old give or take (this is not cannon to the real Wolf walkers lore or movie this is just for my au lol)

by the time Jimmy returns to the fae realm they're like;

"So, what have you been up to in the human realm?"

"Became a father."

"Really? Biologically, legally, or emotionally?"

"Yes."

"...How many do you have?"

"Yes."

Nothing to add this is fact.

little martin using fae jimmy's wing as a blanket

YES. THEY ALL DO. Child mildly cold? Where's the bird man.

Jimmy making his blankets in the orphanage into a nest and bringing all the other kids there to sleep. because what do you mean humans have beds? nests are superior duh.

He just has so much behavior that's very odd and most people brush it off as him being a weird kid. but also just giving him so much bird-coded behavior. like he likes shiny rocks.

Sometimes he forgets he has human legs and starts his bird hop until he remembers and starts walking "normal" again lol. He's also jumpy because as a little baby fae he got tackled by a Eurasian Lynx and he was fine because fae and because he was being watched obvi but it scared him half to death. He has a shiny things pile in the orphanage and ONLY the other orphans are allowed to even breathe near it. And all the orphans have a nest. Some of the other ones have solo nests but for the most part there's tons of group nests and everyone's allowed in Jimmys nest but no ones forced to be there.

Fae Jimmy just collecting children. And when they're adults you know he's crying because "why not small anymore? why not stay tiny? where chickadees go?" sad squawking while the now grown up crew is just watching him in confusion.

Wouldn't it be so funny if he brought them with him to a fae event and when they came out it was the modern day? Wouldn't it be so funny if they suddenly woke up with more claws and feathers than they remembered having? Wouldn't it be so funny if because he was in charge of changlings he knows how to make them? Wouldn't it be funny if these now immortals built a giant turtle and just flew around saving the enviornment and animals knowing they'll never actually get hurt since, y'know, fae. Wouldn't it be?

Little Martin, Chris, Aviva, and Koki following big bird fae Jimmy around like little chicks. (Chris is just there because Martin is there. He refuses to participate otherwise.)

Like he's chill and disguises as a kid but I love imagining him getting pissed after they get hurt and he's like "How DARE you hurt MY humans!" and gets all big and monsterous.

and then the culprit mysteriously disappears while the kids get treats.

They get lost in the woods and he's just like "alright little chickadees this way!" And just hops along the path as birds do and they happily follow they get close to a village and someone shoots at him and suddenly a tree falls on them! How mysterious. He buys them cake afterwards.

I feel like if Martin saw Jimmy's true form he wouldn't freak out. well maybe a little. but he'd just immediately try to figure out what bird he is and probably just freak out because his friend is a cool fae!

And Jimmy is just there like: ...Well, at least there's one pure human in this world.

Yeah pretty much. When he showed Koki she was like "Cool anygays have you seen Aviva lately-"

Love imagining Jimmy in his fae form just kind. perching at the head of the others' beds. staring down at them and watching over them when they sleep. and one of the caretakers opens the door and just sees a silhouette of a giant, feathery humanoid with glowing eyes standing over Martin, Chris, Aviva, or Koki. But when they get a light he's just gone.

He's a freaky lil guy and i love him

He is and would he's THE village cryptid a traveler comes to town and goes out one night and sees a terrifying bird creature and tells everyone and they're just like "Yeah that was probably Jimmy we don't KNOW that he's magic but he definitely is. He's chill."

Just saw your wolfwalkers x wild kratts au, got anymore ideas for it?

I do actually!

In the movie it takes place in a little Irish town where the British have invaded and built massive stone walls around it and are tearing down the forests that used to surround it. The guy in charge is a religious man called The Lord Protector who believes the God from the Bible wants him to destroy everything wild so they can claim it as there own for Gods glory.

My au version is Zach is the son of the Lord Protector and obviously an inventor who deeply envies Aviva cause the OG town people ADORE Koki and Aviva. They actually built them their own little repair shop and blacksmithing shop but both were later taken from them by British soldiers under Zach's orders.

Koki's very buff. (But that's my all around head cannon lol) Especially cause of her black smithing. She has some minor scars all up her arms from her work but she proudly shows them off. She's one of the best black smiths out there and everyone knows it. People were so mad about Zach shutting down her and Aviva's shops they almost rioted but they both calmed everyone down and told them it wasn't worth anyone getting hurt over but Koki's secretly very salty about it and spits on the ground any time she hears Zach's name or thinks about him. She also dabbles in architecture and has some decent medical knowledge from her mother who was a doctor before she died. Once she lost her job she started helping the farmers with their sheep and selling medicinal herbs for super cheap. Zach once tried to claim she was a witch but people got so angry he had to publicly apologize less they stormed the castle.

Jimmy's weird. He's nice and all, laid back but always willing to help, quite jumpy but he's SUPER into his job. He seems to know where things are before they've even been discovered. Martin once caught him drawing up a map for an area they'd never been too and when they went there a few days later it was completely accurate. Jimmy claimed he'd been there a few days before but Martin has his suspicions. He sometimes jokes the forest tells him things but the WK crew gets the feeling it might not be a joke. Before the walls were built Jimmy would sometimes go off into the woods for the night or even a few days here and there but he always came back, and usually with a sweet treat! Once Aviva saw him sleeping in the middle of the woods and shook him awake and swears on her life when he opened his eyes she could see the sky in them before they turned back to their normal blueish green. K̶o̶k̶i̶ k̶n̶o̶w̶s̶. But no one bugs him too much about it because he really is just a chill guy and him being a little funky pays off since he somehow ALWAYS knows where to find whatever herb or mushroom or other plant they may want. There's been a few times he's basically begged them never to enter a certain area of the woods and they follow his rules religiously and without question. He REALLY doesn't like Zach. He always just uses the reasons everyone else has for not liking the guy but there's something in his eyes. In his blank stare at the guy. Like he's waiting for his dues to catch up with him. Like he knows they will.

Aviva. Our icon. She's always creating little toys and trinkets. She's an AMAZING wood carver. She taught herself everything she knows. She and Koki love to bounce ideas off each other and work together to build things. She actually tried to be Zach's friend when he first showed up but he was too bitter and jealous. She doesn't believe in anything. No ghosts no spirits no fae no Selkies nada. Science can explain everything and she can't be convinced otherwise. Till she sees it for herself 🤫. She hates what the British are doing but doesn't want anyone to get hurt. She's the older sister of the group while Koki's the mom because while Aviva has more common sense than the boys she disregards it easily in the name of curiosity and who's gonna stop me?

Martin creates the first ever child leash for Chris

Random wild kratts au

So I headcannon that Jimmy and Zack are like distant cousins from the same huge rich family tree and a random idea I had was like what if a 39 clues type situation happened and they had to team up lol, not sure how it would work but it's funny to think about

Wild kratts x Wolf walker au

For context a wolf walker is similar to a werewolf except they look completely human till they fall asleep and their soul basically leaves their body and becomes a wolf but they can go back into their body whenever they want but they have to be near it, as in right in front of it. They can transform normal people by biting them, talk/communicate with normal wolves and a little with other animals ((but not in the "oh they're actually talking" kind of way in the mutual understanding kind of way)), they can see scent trails, and heal injuries.

So uh just spit balling here but,

Martins an orphan in this au (he and Chris aren't biologically related in this but we all know they're tied together by soul 😌) along with Koki Aviva and Jimmy and they all work together to provide for themselves and everyone else in their little dirty orphanage.

Martin does lots of things but usually gathers herbs and mushrooms (and consistently brings back injured animals that they all nurse back to health before returning them to the woods)

Jimmy is a cartographer which helps them all get out of the village without many problems

Aviva's an inventor and Koki's a blacksmith, a skill she got from one of her parents before they died 🤷, but they're both belittled and looked down upon because they're women and this takes place in ye olden days.

Chris is a wolf walker and his mom is/has been asleep for awhile cause her wolf self mysteriously hasn't returned. (For context look up the movie or watch it on daily motion!) He's of course a sassy little wild child with little to no concept of danger and while he enjoys the company of the wolves he gets cripplingly lonely.

Chris and Martin meet when Martin finds a wolf caught in a trap. It's dark brown with green eyes and snarling mad at him. Luckily Martin has no sense of danger either and pretty much jump scares the poor thing but jumping on it and wrapping his coat around it's head before prying off the trap and clambering up a tree to avoid losing a limb. It shakes off the coat and takes off. Martins happy with this outcome. A few days later however he gets caught in a rope trap. He's thinking "Dang this sucks 😑" when that same wolf shows up. Martin loves animals but he has enough common sense to realize this situation is not ideal. Especially when it starts jumping and snapping at him. He flails trying to get himself free and it bites him on accident and he accidentally kicks it. It jumps away with a whine before falling back and with one big jump manges to snap the rope and set him free. They're at a stand still for a moment before it runs away and Martin retreats back to the confines of the medieval town.

Imagine his shock when he wakes up in the middle of the night to a little boy howling over him, gold circling his arm. They stare at each other. The boy just looks wild in nature. Sticks and leaves in his hair, Martin's pretty sure there's some pebbles in there too. His hands and feet are dark brown, tough and calloused. His nails are sharp to match his canines, even in human shape he looks like a wolf. Martin isn't sure what to say so he looks at his healed arm and simply says thank you for healing his bite. The boy simply frowns and snarkily tells him to stay out of the woods if he doesn't like being bit and leaves. Of course he goes back to the woods the very next day and the boy is waiting for him.

I'll do a whole movie rewrite if anyone's interested 🤷

Jimmy Z headcanons

Jimmy headcanons because I can and some just plain facts because as much as I love Athena P I can't let her completely drag my boy.

Facts: He's the navigator and implied cook. Also, an extrovert which is important because, and I do not remember exactly which episode this happens in but I know it happens in a desert-themed episode, he and Koki do supply runs for the Tortuga.

Headcanons: He doesn't own a single pair of matching socks. They've been bought for him but something always happens. He also loves fun/colorful socks!

Jimmy's that one kid who wears shorts no matter what the weather and you can't change my mind even though in cannon he has snow gear.

He has a Roblox account.

One of his favorite games to play is actually Stardew Valley

He played FNAF religiously as a child and while he adores the games that is partially why he's so jumpy.

His favorite thing to make is chewy cookies because he can eat them while doing literally anything and they won't make too big a mess.

He has an ant farm or a plant no basis for this just pure vibes I think he'd like something laid back to take care of.

It's anyone's guess how much he knows about any given subject. Obviously, geography and piloting are his strongest subjects but he knows something about almost any given subject. Human body? Yeah, did you know you have a separate immune system for your eyes, and if your body's immune system found out it would theoretically melt your eyes out of your head because it would register them as a foreign object? Wood? Did you know you can use trees for a lot of different recipes? As in sawdust, bark, etc? (I follow a guy on YouTube who turns trees into ice cream) Medieval slang? Did you know the word hate was invented in 1175 and was a slang term?

Sometimes he actually gets jealous of the rest of the crew, hence his behavior in season one especially, but he's learned to deal with it in healthy ways like asking questions or asking to help so he can learn instead of just stewing!

This man uses SO many vine/meme references

His favorite animal is obviously otter's but sometimes he borrows a creature power suit and flies around as a bird of some kind because let's be so for real right now I can only imagine how freeing it would feel to fly.

That's all I got for now, I did not intend it to be that long but Jimmy deserves some love chat he's like me fr😞

I'm on my stupid shit again people ;; Had an idea of a Harpy Jimmy Z cause bro NEEDS a creature power suit. How he got like that is Chris and Martin (mainly Martin) wanted Jimmy to get used to the creature power suits seeing he's the only one that doesn't really have one. Jimmy isn't all too keen on getting his own suit right away, so they use Martin's as a test. Chris shows him the basics of proper use of the CPS and which disks to use and what exactly to touch to activate (using chris' animal bits collection or whatever he calls it). They probably start off with 'easy' animals (like songbirds or small mammals) and Jimmy starts getting used to it, maybe even a bit more confident.

So these idiots boys keep cycling through different animals probably faster than the CPS is used to until BANG! The suit malfunctions! (as suits do) and Jimmy comes out as a mashup of different kinds of birds! (mainly a Harpy Eagle (hah), a heron, a vulture, and a hummingbird). Martin is amazed, Chris is like "huh?", and Jimmy is like "?????? WHAT THE FUCK????" and so hijinx ensues, or whatever

Boys got caught mid midnight munchin.

Wild Kratts coraline au because brainrot. It’s spooky season and we need the spooky au’s. Ngl this was a tough one but I love Wild Kratts and I love Coraline, sooo-

The idea is that Chris is Coraline, a young child who is unhappy with his families move into an old house in the middle of nowhere known as the Pink Palace. He never wanted to move, but unfortunately had to do so, leaving him bitter and angry. In this au, he is about 14 years old, and Martin is a 18.

Martin is something I mulled over for a while, stuck between Wybie and the mother. I stuck with Martin taking the role as the mother, though of course not in the parental sense. Their parents died in the car crash that Coraline mentions in the beginning of the film, leaving Martin as the legal guardian of Chris at just 18 years of age.

As for Aviva and Koki, I decided to put them in the role of Miss Spink and Miss Forcible. I don’t particularly ship Aviva and Koki, (though I do think it’s cute), but finding roles for them in this setting was somewhat difficult. You can view them as married, like the actual characters, or you can view these two as friends living together, doesn’t matter to me. They’re both rather odd in Chris’ opinion. I don’t think the girls would be as old as the actual characters are, but they may be a little older than Martin here. Aviva still makes inventions and other gadgets, but the girls also are into theatre, just like the real Miss Spink and Miss Forcible. They give Chris advice, warning him that danger is coming for the boy, weirding him out as he does not understand what this danger could possibly be.

As for Jimmy, I set him as Wybie. I think they both have the similar aspect of being a nice dude who’s just a little odd, and someone Chris could become good friends with. Jimmy is the same age as Chris and lives with his grandmother, who teaches him her recipes. He finds Chris as Chris is exploring the woods around the Pink Palace, revealing to him that the last kid who lived there disappeared mysteriously, the kid happening to be his grandmothers sister. He is also the one who gives Chris the doll of himself, weirding Chris out.

Mr. Bobibski was a difficult role, but I gave it to Zach. Why? Because Mr. Bobibski is really theatric and a little weird (kinda like Zach), and I think Zach would fit this role. Also it’s a little ironic with the jumping mice thing, so there’s that. Zach serves as the neighbor that Chris at first assumed to be crazy.

The move is due to Martin believing Chris would want a change of scenery, Martin taking his college courses online now that he cannot go on campus. He is struggling to take care of his brother on top of doing college work, so he doesn’t have much time for Chris at the moment, who wanted to go adventuring. The recent loss, the move and the decrease in time spent together between the brothers results in them both fighting and arguing, straining their relationship.

It was a rainy day, Chris itching to go out and explore as there was nothing else to do but unpack, which was something he wasn’t really looking forward to doing. He begs his brother to ket him go outside, only to be told no- as he’ll get wet and possibly sick from being out in the rain. Irritated, Chris walks around the house, following his brother’s instructions to keep himself busy by counting the windows and doors in the house. He takes the doll Jimmy gave him with him, setting it on a table as he counts the windows and the painting in the family room, before realizing that the doll had disappeared, ending up across the room behind a box. Pushing the box aside, he comes to find what looks like a door beneath the wallpaper and begs for Chris to open it. Much to his disappointment, it is bricked up.

It is at night where things really begin. Chris was unhappy with what Martin had made for dinner, calling it disgusting and “not real food”, according to him. Martin insists that he eats it as this as all they have at the moment, or else he can just go to bed. Choosing bed over “slime”, Chris heads upstairs only to be awoken by the sound of a mouse scurrying through the dark. Curiously, he gets up and follows the mouse downstairs and into the family room, the small creature disappearing behind the door. Chris opens it to find, to his amazement, there is now a glowing tunnel leading to what looks like another door.

Crawling through and out the other side, Chris finds himself standing in the family room yet again- but instead of being met with the cold darkness of an empty room, he finds himself in a warm glow emitting from a light on in the kitchen. Confused, he walks into the kitchen only to find Martin standing there.

“Martin? What are you doing up?”

But when the figure turns around to face him, it wasn’t Martin. Because Martin didn’t have button eyes.

Jimmy: You can literally de-escalate any situation by asking “are we about to kiss?”

Martin: Doesn’t work if you’re about to get a speeding ticket though

Wild Kratts Headcanons

genuinely have no clue if this fandom is dead or not but I’ve fallen down a rabbit hole and it isn’t stopping. So anyway here we go! All of my hc’s are strictly platonic, Krattcest shippers back away rn 🤺. This is the 2D characters and not referring to the actual people! I know the characters are basically them but this is specifically for the cartoon. they’re all headcanons I either liked or had myself.

-Being as close as they are, Martin and Chris are very physically affectionate with one another (and with the Tortuga crew at times, but mostly the bros). They’re always giving each other hugs or leaning on the others shoulder, or Chris just straight up climbs onto Martin’s back/shoulders.

-With their friends, the boys are always giving them hugs, small shoulder touches, things like that. It’s their natural way of interacting with the people they care about.

-The Kratts have been found sleeping in trees various times (mainly Chris). At this point nobody questions it though they do get worried about him falling out and getting hurt.

-The Kratt Bros are also sometimes found sleeping in the same hammock, whether it’s in the Tortuga or hung up on a tree branch. They usually do this when the other has a nightmare or after partially tough missions (I.E:Flight of The Pollinators, Platypus Cafe, plus other episodes but these are the ones I heard about most and I haven’t gotten to watching too much of the show again yet). Touch is their love language and sometimes they need this to remind themselves the other is okay.

-Chris climbs basically everything. He loves climbing and if you took him to a rock wall climbing gym he’d have a field day. You can find him in the oddest places on the Tortuga.

-Aviva isn’t the most touchy person but will give hugs out of gratitude/happiness.

-The brothers share a single braincell. That is all.

-Jimmy has a very close relationship to his grandmother and was raised by her; which is why he knows all of her recipes.

-Aviva is like a mom friend. Not in the sense she’s motherly but in the sense she has to babysit two hyperactive brothers who are constantly running around/getting in trouble and breaking things.

-Martin can carry Chris no problem (on his back, shoulders or bridal style), but Chris cannot carry Martin on his back/shoulders for long. Though he can hold him bridal style (as we have seen.)

-The bros are huge nerds. If you ask them about animals they will talk for HOURS about them.

-Koki is downright fabulous and can rock anything. Don’t @ me.

-Martin has ADHD and Chris has autism. Martin fidgets, gets distracted easily, and can act impulsively (though reels Chris in when Chris is the one being impulsive). He tends to run off during creature adventures. He has combined presentation ADHD and Martin also has a tendency to forget to charge his creature pod.

-As for Chris, he has autism. He doesn’t recognize social cues and corrects people when he thinks they’re wrong about something, and doesn’t realize when they’re annoyed with him for it. He also can be pretty blunt. And he has to keep things organized, such as how he organized all of his creature disks and hates them being moved out of place.

-Chris, out of everyone, cusses the most. He doesn’t around the Wild Kratt Kids but he will when with the crew/his brother. He has definitely called Zach a motherf*cker and Aviva and Martin found it hilarious.

-The Tortuga Gang have frequent movie nights, but they will never watch a movie where an animal dies with the brothers. They WILL cry.

-After the Tazzy Incident, Chris still has some Tazzy traits. Mostly just sharper canines but also more sensitive senses. He can’t hear, smell and see are well as he could when in tazzy form but it’s definitely increased from normal. His eyes also do that thing cat eyes do when they’re in the dark and the light hits them. Has 100% given Martin heart attacks and absolutely has used it to mess with Zach.

I fell asleep b4 I can post my other au idea opsies

Have another with AVP au

Specifically from AVP the Xbox 360 game w the xeno pov, alien isolation and alien: covenant.

In this one is the WK crew stumble upon a aboard the semi broken space station and went to go investigate why it was in such a state and in case of survivors.

~~(A WIP so bare with me-)~~

They end up finding out that the ship belongs to the Weyland Corporation which Aviva immediately recognizes. Before she could warn them they come across some clipboards about what they were doing, more of notes of the experiment subjects than their true intentions of it.

Long story short with the information given, they understand that the Aliens are very hostile and will not hesitate to kill humans.

Chris wonders off and finds a cell of one of the restrained Xenos who was trying to scream out. Judging by the amount of scratches outside, the escaped xenos already tried freeing that one.

It catches whiff of the human and screeches a warning to the hive. Which they quickly retreat back to the Tortuga. Of course the Aliens thought ahead and blocked the exits. So Martin shoved Chris into the lockers to hide and he entered a nearby room to hide in.

Will time skip and yes, they reunite and they managed to slip out alive and hop back onto their ship.

They end up finding out Aviva was an intern hoping to work with the Company to gain favor, experience, and funding for her projects. It was only then she found out what the company was doing and she has seen what the Xenos are capable of. They cannot be tamed and temporarily controlled. So she left the company mostly out of fear at the time.

Anyways Koki wants them to destroy the ship for the sake of future spaceships and humanity while Jimmy believes they should just go, Aviva is unreadable and the Kratt bros despite knowing what the Xenomorphs are capable of destroying humanity, they still cling on the hope that every living thing deserves the right to exist.
