HAHAHA please do, it was honestly one of my favourite parts of that post. The panicking pancake lookin ass turtle deserves more attention. He's so young but the existential dread runs so deep.

I have knowledge I have to bestow upon you all. See this adorable mf?

This ^ is called Leopard Softshell, a hybrid species between Spiny Softshell Turtle (yes, exactly the one Donnie is) and Florida Softshell Turtle.

Do with this information what you will >:3

Apothecary diaries:

Set in country reminiscient of China. Softshell turtles are revired for their medicinal properties in many asian countries so it isn't suprising it would apear in the show treating about medicines

So in second season ep. 11 (The hunt) we can see Maomao consuming a cooked softshell turtle, so definitely trigger warning for that.
