TW: ANIMAL DEATH
A tiny little celebration and recounting of this lil old lady, who passed away yesterday april 22 2024, 6 years to the day her adopted sister left the world.
Read on to learn about her adoption story and some of her fav things!
I made sure she had a comfortable lovely weekend, but she let me know it was time.
So who was Turtle?
In Aug 2010 I went to a local shelter and adopted 2 kitties. One a kitten we named Genki, and another a 1+ year old mystery owner surrender they named Hello Kitty.
She saw us and started yelling and slamming herself on the glass to show us how to pet her. She snugged onto my lap immediately in the little private room to meet her and I was in love instantly.
But back at home she was very scared. She hid under the couch for three days only peaking her head out to eat some food and then she went back in. This would be the last time in her life she would be shy, but I didn't know it so I named her...
Alligator Snapping Turtle; Turtle!
She quickly became my shadow. Clinging to me night and day. She would jump onto the back of my chair, lay on my back and slowly slide down towards my butt. She did this so frequently she managed to break the chair, eventually. After that all my chairs have been bought with more room for her to snug me. For a whole decade.
If someone visited, she would insist they hold her, or she'd sleep on them in their sleep. She once was held through a 3 hour long DnD session by someone she had just met; she loved people. Loved being pet, but above all, she adored me.

She had a specific meow for me, she spent every single night for nearly 14 years in between my legs, and unfortunately, as she got older she got separation anxiety real bad. She would cry and cry for about an hour each time I left. (I rarely do as I no longer work but even a trip to the grocery store did not leave her happy!) I know this because my husband had plenty of videos of her standing at the door hoping I would return.
No matter what I did in the house there she was.
But lets back up a moment, remember that bit about owner surrender? That intake form was interesting. with questions like "What is your pets favorite toy?" came answers like 'small glove'. She spent at least a year in someone with 7 children's garage. They fed her 'cheep food' and knew very little about her past other than they found her about a year prior. No judgements to them, but this girl was a lap cat to end lap cats. You would pick her up and move her to stand and she'd jump right back into your lap. She's dig her claws in if she thought you were trying to leave. She wanted the warmth god damn it!
Tumblr media
Here is her on top my husband. Human's were good options.
Tumblr media
Heat vent? Also a great option.
Tumblr media
She would, when I worked, stay in bed in the covers right where I left her until I came home from work, all nice and cozy.
Tumblr media
She loved it when my husband worked from home, gave her ample time to try and fry his laptop during his breaks or lunches.
Tumblr media
But her fav place was on top of me. I set up my desk just for her actually! This big living room chair was purchased so she could always be near me.
Tumblr media
Because the previous snug situation was not cutting it!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here she is on the chair I bought for us.
She was never very photogenic, because she saw my hand and wanted pets. If I wasn't petting her she'd cry and show me how to pet her with her paws, or she'd flop around or rub herself on something and look up at me like 'come ooooonnn you know the good spots.'
Or she would do a 'turkey twerky'(where cats twitch their tails and step from foot to foot rapidly in excitement).
Her fav toy it turned out was not a 'small glove' but in fact the simple spring. Yellow was her fav color of the springs, but past that any small bit of plastic she could chase around and yell at was great. She was a very loud little lady!
I sang her a song daily for about ten years;
"Her name is turtle! and she's a turtle! And she's got a lot to say!"
after which she'd generally make a BIG meow and I'd give her tons of attention. Because she was my lil baby girl.

But her all time fav thing, beside me of course, was going outside. She didn't get to much as I believe in, and have, indoor only cats, but on special nice days we'd go outside and she'd gets some nice supervised time with the grass. (She made the other cats jealous because only she was let outside without a harness, but that's because if she wasn't in about a 2 foot radius of me she'd come back and yell at me to follow/I was able to out run her.)
Tumblr media
Last year I had her shaved, because she was a fat cat who was struggling with cleaning herself so we were going to get on a rotation of shaving and baths and brushing to make sure she stayed nice and clean...
But unfortunately she began to drop in weight very quickly, the primary sign something was very wrong.
She was adopted on the same day as Genki, and six years to the day she passed on the same day as her sister. Genki lost a very long fight with a fungal pneumonia in 2018 and our hearts shattered and then yesterday they did it again.
Tumblr media
If Turtle was my heart, my little shadow, then Genki was my husband's.
Turtle was such an amazing good friend, I have so many memories of her and it doesn't seem real that she's gone. But I wanted to keep this light, and positive, and so I will end it with, adopt.
Don't shop, adopt. You never know who is waiting for you in a shelter, what kind of very full wonderful life you can provide each other! Hello Kitty became Turtle and she knew that name, she'd come running any time I called, she was my very best friend and I miss her so fucking much.

Obey me MC timetravels to when Solomon was still ruling King Solomon.
(: AFAB MC although it can be read as Gender neutral for now? I will change this if ever. I have always tried to stick to gender neutral pronouns for MC so If I slip up I'm sorry and kindly tell me. Part 1 probably and will be very short. I just need to gather my thoughts maybe make an outline Uh as much as I would like to make this more inclusive the MC here grew up in a religious household as it is needed for the plot.... so sorry. NB spoiler free yay. Also sorry for the wrong grammar and the typos. I did this on my phone :)
Time travel is not something new to MC. In fact they have already done so multiples times. This however comes as a surprise as instead of anywhere in the devildom. They seem to be in an unfamiliar land instead. somewhere ancient. MC couldn't explain it however the description seems to fit.
Determined to at least find a general location of where they were. Walking along the road near the river which should lead to somewhere with people right? At the very least they hope it will. It wasn't long before they were stopped by a kind lady who looks concerned about MC's modern clothing.
"Oh poor dear! Have you been attacked by bandits on the way here?" MC looks confused but before they were able to refute the old lady's claims they were drag to the home of the lady. "No need to worry I will help you" The old lady assured them before they are able to speak a word. Privately however they thank whatever has put them there that they can understand the language that the lady speaks. Must be some kind of magic or atleast a way to appease them on whatever this is and why does this always happen to them anyways... Waking up in unfamiliar places.
MC was made to sit down as the old lady went to another room. This time carrying a bunch of clothing that MC only has ever seen worn during things such as historical plays or those Movies about the stories from the bible that plays every month of March back where they grew up. As popularized by the holy week. Not wanting to offend the kindness of the stranger they gratefully accepted the clothing. As they were ushered to an empty room to change into the clothes. They suppose it was a good thing so that they can blend in even better while thinking of a way to get back to their timeline. Now to know where in the past they are.
"Um.. Thank you for your kindness..." MC spoke meekly to the older woman in front of them. The older woman just smiled at them.
"You look very out of sorts poor dear. A long way from home I presume?" She asked MC kindly as she folded the clothes MC was wearing earlier.
"Ah you don't need to do that..." MC flushed. This lady remind her of her grandmother.
"It's fine I assure you. So what led you here to Jerusalem?" MC hoped to have kept their facial expressions clear from their shock. Alright that is one problem solved. They are in Jerusalem. But *WHEN* in Jerusalem. Will they be seeing Jesus or something? Does Jesus even exist? MC lowkey wanted to ask the brothers or even Solomon but considering the circumstances they privately kept it to themself.
"Uh... I was actually hoping to visit the temple for... uh worship..." that's a safe answer right? There shpuld be many temples for God here since it's the holy land right? Damn if MC knew thsi would happen they should've paid more attention to theology classes back in their school days. Thankfully it seems that MC has hit the nail on its head somewhat as the woman nodded her head.
"How unfortunate that you arrived here during the Sabbath." Sabbath MC knows that day of rest. Yeah ok they got this. Totally not internally panicking. God they feel like Levi.
"Uh.. yeah how unfortunate..." they trailed off.
"You came at a great time however since the temple that King Solomon has been building has been finished." King Solomon...
Well shit. Well at least now they know for sure when they are in the last but at the same time. Why does this always happen to them really...

Yknow something that’s funny is, I’m a nonbinary lesbian, and I’m also one of those nonbinary people who very much prefer it when strangers who see me IRL can’t tell from first glance what I am or could be, or what I “should” be, and my breasts had been a source of significant physical distress and dysphoria, but once I got them removed? I actually became much less bothered by getting she/her’d.
I’m still nonbinary! And lean even more Butch than I did before - but I no longer feel nearly the amount of emotional baggage about my alignment with femininity or how mine, or lack thereof, is perceived.
Sometimes, I even roll with it and lie, if I think it’s a worthwhile troll. On two distinct occasions this past year, an old person who was clearly getting excited for an opportunity to be transphobic, was quick to come up to me, completely unprompted, and go “hehe, you know, you’re still a girl, no matter what you do to your body" and I was like “...yes? never said i wasn’t? what’s up” and then I got to see their brain short circuit before my very eye, as someone who wasn’t going to respect my lack of gender, is now having to mentally process the idea of a cis woman willingly removing her tits just because she genuinely likes it better that way. Like they can’t comprehend it. It’s so funny.

hm i do not have time to make a full long post with sources but man, i'm in full solidarity with usamerican protests against police brutality and i just wish posts about french protests didn't assume by default that police brutality in france is non existent or low or far less violent lol. black and maghrebi people here are regularly physically and sexually assaulted, and killed in custody by neglect or through use of torture. and cops here are also constantly given even more freedom to operate without any accountability, even more weapons and funds, even more legal support! police violence against protestors, no matter how common they are, is a given thing and protesting is being more and more restricted as a whole. but even then police brutality is barely reported or criticized, never mind when it happens not to protesting white people but regular black and brown people outside of any protest context! the government and most political groups clamp down and shriek at any attempt to barely utter the words "systemic racism", dissolving groups that actively try to record and protest police brutality, including one that had been created by the sister of a kid who'd been murdered by cops!!! she was literally arrested for filming racist cops harassing someone. just because you don't hear about it and only see the tires burning and your fave radlib celebrity tweets/posts about how the ~cool french protestors somehow have their government in fear of their protests, doesn't mean that french policing and racist cop brutality are somehow "softer" than in other places.

maybe i will never be as whole as i could have been, when i was a child just learning to walk the haunted streets of this world with stars in my brown eyes // innocence stripped piece by piece from my being until my lungs bled from silent screams// my pain, heavily cumbersome limbs and scarred heart showed for the world to see // hidden behind a false levity and the fragmented armor of my compassion
maybe i will never be as whole as i could have been — i will let the small child with stars in their eyes live protected within the safety of who i am now // hastily glued and patched as i am, i am allowing them to grow. i am allowing myself to grow.
