Daphne: So Wait How Did Your Parents Got Divorced

I want to know more about this Assistant Chris au, what made Chris want to work for Zach

Well, before Chris graduated he had a big fight with Martin, when he went out to campus he met Zach and after they talked for a while, Zach told him about his company and that he needed a biologist and because he was so angry with Martin he accepted. the CEO's proposal

and thanks for asking, I have wanted to answer questions like this for a long time ^^

Quick little silly concept for a Zaviva 'fanchild', in quotations because uh, she isn't really a human child lol. I don't have a name for her right now, so suggestions are VERY WELCOME PLEASE PLEASE PL-

Check under the cut for further extensive rambling <3

OKAY!

So you might be asking "Joss!! Why is she a Zachbot and not a real human child???" And to that I say: I don't really think these two would have real children lol

It's like that opening scene from the movie Robots where they build their child. For my specific interpretations of Zach and Aviva, since they're T4T and I like to project into these fellows, I uhm! Don't really think Zach would enjoy being "the bearer of the curse" (referring to pregnancy)

Previous wording is a joke lol, but!! I do think it would be an accurate characterization for this failwife of a man that I resonate with

ANYWAYS, onto this girl herself!! Personality wise, I feel like she'd be similar to Creepie from Growing up Creepie! Which funnily enough shares a voice with Aviva. Feel as though she'd share that love for animals, but specifically regarding bugs and other... More morbid or macabre things lol

Think Wednesday Addams or Mandy from The Grim Adventures but more lively. Still very monotone though! It's that Zachbot in her, so she struggles to comprehend sarcasm or turns of phase. Mayhaps also an inherent Zach autism thing!

As of right now, I don't think she aligns with either the 'mommas girl' or daddy's girl' archetypes - she just kind of likes them both equally methinks Though, she definitely takes a lot after Aviva, both in general appearance and interests

I'd say that a lot of the time the crew and both Zach and Aviva forget that she's not a human in certain situations. Nothing major! I mean, normal Zachbots can withstand water and not short circuit lol so nothing that is DEADLY - just like. "Oh I forgot you have super strength" kinds of things

Random thoughts:

- No way she doesn't love Warrior Cats. I've never read it, know nothing about it, but she'd be roleplaying as a cat in a clan. Forcing anyone she can into it lol, with use of the Creature Power Suits or not

- ON THAT TOPIC, she would probably be fascinated with the CPS. No idea if she has the ability to use them or not. Can Zachbots use them? Who knows!

- She probably doesn't interact/mesh well with human children- Typical autism archetype, but I feel as though kids would recognize immediately that she's different. Maybe not BULLY HER, that's a bit much, but some sort of weird looks or treading lightly around her.

- She's like a typical early 2010s "weird emo kid". Maybe she uses site like MySpace? Is she allowed online? Probably not! Uh knowing yknow, the unlimited knowledge that could be horribly dangerous for a child let alone an android to have access to

Okay I have run out of thoughts FOR NOW..... If any of you have any ideas on what her name should be don't be afraid to share!! I have no idea what to do in that area lol. All that I know is that Aviva would insist that she'd have the last name Varmitech. (Off topic but as mentioned previously regarding 'I don't think these fellows would have a real child!' I also don't really think they'd get married, but that is subject to change if I think about it too much lol)

The Famous one! The one who got me into this fandom lol

let your moots tell you which one you are!!!

Daphne goes on vacation

(Violet, Vera, Varina, Vallen, Victor and Vallen belong to @jokerislandgirl32 )

Under cut due to length

Daphne was excited to finally go somewhere. She hadn’t been on a large family vacation like this since she was a little baby, but after weeks of convincing, she was finally going to the beach with the Varmitech family. Her mom had to work, so she wouldn’t come. Daphne was excited to go somewhere completely alone for the first time, even if it was with a family friend. They were going to the beach, a place Daphne loved but went to less often than she’d like. Once she had double checked her packing and spoke to her mom about what to do, she left to go to the beach with the rest of the Varmitechs.

Daphne was pleased to discover she had her own room, close to the Varmitech’s suite, where everyone else would be staying. She was happy to have her own room but still be close to everyone else. She plopped onto her bed and then began to unpack. After she had changed into her swimsuit, a yellow and purple bikini, she joined Zach, Vera, Varina, Vallen, and Victor to go down to the beach. Violet and Victoria opted to stay in the hotel and meet them for dinner in a couple hours.

Daphne had fun running in the ocean with the other kids and playing, but she wasn’t used to the chaos that came with them. She was an only child so she wasn’t used to the craziness that came with siblings. But, Daphne had a ton of fun in the sun with everyone. She managed to convince Zach to be ‘buried’ in the sand, which she enjoyed doing. After he got out of the sand, they all walked to meet Violet and Victoria for dinner. Daphne was worried about dinner, she was a picky eater in general and had a shellfish allergy. She managed to figure it out though, and had a nice dinner with the Varmitechs. They insisted on paying for her meal, even though she brought money from her mom, because she was the guest.

When everybody got back, they discovered that they forgot to put on sunscreen, much to everyone’s horror. Daphne was significantly tanner, and everybody else was red as a tomato. Zach got it the worst, he looked more like a lobster than a human. He was whining to Violet, and Daphne went to her room as Violet began to apply aloe vera to everyone’s burns. In that moment, she felt grateful to not really burn as easily.

The vacation was overall great, and Daphne felt grateful to temporarily be a member of the Varmitech crew.

Missing people

TW: death

I'm tired of missing people. My family hasn't felt 'complete' in over 10 years and I can tell my sister is really suffering for it. She seems more angry at our family for the situation she put us in and is 'snapping' more often. I just miss my best childhood friend, who I can't contact for at least 6 months due to unforeseen circumstances, causing us to cancel our plans that we've both been looking forward to for months. We used to be really close but we don't get to see each other as often as we once did. I even miss the toxic people in my life, who were never truly my 'friends'. I miss the good times we had and all of the moments that were great in our friendship

I've also been struggling with the passing of my cousin. He was pretty young and it was out of the blue, and just blindsided our family. Another death in the family, so close to the previous couple, has really put a strain on my family, which was already strained.

TLDR: I miss people, even the one's who I know can't come back.

please please please

(also if you’re taking requests, the shirts scene??)

Hear Me Out…

Picture this….a 1920s Gatsby AU where Zach is Jay and he’s pining over Violet who’s Daisy, but Violet’s not an ass and leaves Travis (Tom). Violet owns up to her feelings for Zach and commits to him. She lets her husband Travis have his side chick in return for a quiet divorce and custody of their daughter.

And… Zach doesn’t die! They end up together living happily ever after…oh and the daughter Daisy had, well with Zach and Violet that’s actually Zach’s child, Travis never knew it. And Nick’s character is Jimmy Z or Chris or Martin, and Jordan is Aviva or Koki.

Yes this is an outlandish idea, but I like it. This movie means the world to me, and the book was one I hated in high school but have come to appreciate as an adult…I’d be butchering the storyline but I hope no one will hate for it!

I can just imagine Zach throwing all these elaborate parties hoping Violet will show up….he buys the house across from Violet, and the scene with the shirts 😭, oh it’s beautiful…

And the music, so many of the songs are already ones I use for Zach and Violet inspo!

I’m tempted to write something about this now…what do you all think?

Birthday Gift

(Another bit of self indulgence? It's more likely than you think.)

Nia: Hey, Chris, I- umm- made you something for your birthday.

Chris: Awesome! Let me see it!

Nia: *Sheepishly holds out a green, handmade braided bracelet.*

Nia: I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

Chris: Why are you apologizing?

Nia: Because it's stupid. I just don't have the skills or materials to make anything extravagant. I know it's dumb. But it's...it's really all I can make.

Chris: I love it!

Nia: Really! Are you sure?

Chris: I'm positive.

Nia: That's great! You still don't have to wear it if you don't want to, though.

Chris: Nope, it's mine. I'm never taking it off.

Nia: But-

Chris: No buts.

Nia: Okay, if you're sure. I'm really glad you like it. Happy birthday!

Nia: *Leaves the room.*

Chris: *Looking fondly at the bracelet.* I'm never taking this off. Ever.

My Absence

Hey guys! I am so sorry I have been MIA! 2025 has been a stressful year so far for my family and I, mainly due to the Los Angeles fires happening right now. Luckily, we are safe, but many close friends and family are evacuated or were evacuated, so unfortunately I have not had tons of time to write. I am still planning on finishing up my WIPs, so they should be coming soon. New content is coming soon, I swear. I miss you guys!
