Rotten Reflections Inspired Fic
I have started my rotten reflections inspired fic and posted A few chapters on both Archive of Our Own and FanFiction.net.
My fix is called "Feral Mama Snapper, Ninja Dad" because I go between my ocs point of view and Leo's point of view. You'll see how we learn Mama is part Snapping Turtle in chapter 3.
I understand if you don't want to read it, but please do. Its not as good as Rotten Reflections but I hope it's interesting.
tales from the pet store part i ;
i've been working part time in a pet store for just over a month now and i already have enough stories that i could write a book about misguided people and animals. this wasn't even the story i was going to start this series with but i'm just so flabbergasted by what happened last night that i just HAD to kick it off with this one.
this is a tale in two parts because the week before we had a lady come into the store, and at first it was the typical pet parent stuff, talking about how much rescue she does already ( in response to us asking her if she'd like to make a donation to local shelters ). But she ends up taking it ONE step further. That she even rescues wild animals on her walks on the beach! Why just the other day she saw a baby turtle struggling towards the ocean..... and decided to help it....
by taking it to the POND behind the sand dunes because CLEARLY she could tell it was a baby snapping turtle that was going the wrong way....
fast forward to last night. i'm still not sure if it was the same lady or if it was a different one ( my boss thinks it was a different person ) but my boss, the OTHER person in line, and myself get into a fight with the other customer. a wildlife karen if you will.
because she 'rescued' a 'snapping turtle' and was wondering what sort of food to get it. she did not like that we were telling her to take it to the VERY local wildlife rehab center outside of town. that we couldn't help her because it is very illegal to own any turtles ( without the proper permits ) in my province. while i'm glad my boss is super supportive, she is a bit of a push over and let her buy a small thing of superworms just to get her out of the store because she was starting to get combative not just with us but with the other customer that was with us in this tiny pet store ( because she was really letting the idiot have it - bless that woman's soul - said all the things i wish i could have ).
but god, -- just leave wildlife alone. wildlife aren't just fancy pets. turtles are not an easy pet to keep. and if the animal really does need help then let the experts handle it! don't be an entitled wildlife karen.
This turtle has a bit more than algae growing on its shell

Snapping turtle time. Nom nom. Coming to eat your toes
Houston, we have a pumpkin & a tiny turt
cool snapping turtle moment brought to you by the snapping turtle found in the parking lot!
It’s been factually proven that snapping turtles are better than you in every capacity! Do you have claws? Do you have a cool tail? do you have a shell? Do you have a beak that can probably snap someone’s fingers off? Didn’t think so 🙄
MerMay day 9: Snapping Turtle
Had to get one of these guys out of the middle of the road once, I was so scared.
The boys are in trouble!
This is actually a school assignment! Part of the assignment is that our piece would be altered by another person, and I have to say, my partner did a fantastic job! Here’s her version:
