(because I don't have enough AUs already...) Let me introduce you to something thats been rolling around in my brain for a little while now...
The Elemental AU!
Heavily inspired by Avatar the Last Airbender, the elemental AU takes place in a universe where some people are born with the ability to control a specific element. The main difference is instead of the 4 western elements of Earth, Fire, Water, and Air- it's the 5 Chinese elements of Earth, Fire, Water, Wood, and Metal. (Just bc it fit the crew better! and gives me some more room to world-build)
The basic plot remains close to Wild Kratts canon. They travel the world, saving animals from the villains (Who are also elementals!) except instead of relying on technology, or their creature powers, they use their elemental gifts.
I am planning on writing about this soon since Decoded is coming to an end in only a few weeks. But I figured I would go ahead and introduce it now since I've finished all of their refs!
listen yall. Beautifully rendered Wild Kratts fanart is EVERYTHING to me. I love these two in all shapes and colors. But when people draw them when they were kids? I start bursting into TEARS man THEYRE SOOOOO CUTE
kid Chris and Martin makes me feel so sentimental and I just love these guys so much UGHHH
I've been wanting to draw something for the reprogrammed au for AGES and i finally got a bit of inspiration from the latest decoded chapter... I never draw backgrounds but I really hope I did the scene justice!
